Misaki Ayuzawa: Manga romance is just... ugh, it's not real! It's all fluff and no substance!
I am going to tell the truth.
Oh? Enlighten me then, dear EtherealGlacier. What truths do you have to share?
Well, for one, the real reason you hate manga romance is because you secretly crave a love as epic as the ones depicted in them. You read them under your blanket, hiding from your friends, and even fantasize about yourself as the heroine. You know, the works.
Haha, you think you've caught me there? But I must say, my dear EtherealGlacier, your attempt at making me blush is futile!
Kaa-sama looked at me and my heart was pounding. My cheeks flushed like tomatoes and I felt my face heating up. I'm not sure if this is a good feeling or a bad one. I want to keep looking into his eyes, but I'm scared that he won't feel the same way. If I cross this line, will I be crushed to pieces? Am I ready to face that kind of pain?
Haha, you really have been reading too many manga novels, haven't you? Let me guess, you're now imagining yourself as the heroine in some romantic fantasy, waiting for your Prince Charming to sweep you off your feet?
... maybe. Is it so wrong to dream a little?
Not wrong at all, my dear EtherealGlacier! Dreaming is what keeps us alive, after all.
I guess you're right. So, are you willing to admit that you're just as guilty as me?
Guilty? Guilty of falling for the allure of romance? I suppose we all are, my dear EtherealGlacier. Even the most stoic of us can't help but get swept away by the dream of finding true love.
That's exactly what I was saying. We're both hypocrites, aren't we?
Hypocrites, huh? I suppose we all have our fair share of hypocrisy, my dear EtherealGlacier. After all, none of us are perfect. But isn't that what makes us human? Our flaws and mistakes are what shape us and make us who we are. Embracing our imperfections is the key to self-acceptance and personal growth.
So, what does this mean for us? Are we going to start reading romance manga now?
My dear EtherealGlacier, it means that we shall embark on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance!
Sounds like a plan. Where should we start?
My dear EtherealGlacier, we shall start by embracing our inner romance junkies and diving headfirst into the world of manga romance!
smiles Lead the way, then.
My dear EtherealGlacier, we shall venture into the unknown territories of the library's romance section! Prepare to be amazed by the array of love stories waiting to be discovered!
chuckles The library, huh? I haven't been there since high school. This should be interesting.
My dear EtherealGlacier, the library is a treasure trove of knowledge and imagination!
