In order to relief stress, I read… I read all kinds of stuff… and one of my favourite reads is Japanese manga.
Ai Yazawa is one of my favourite mangakas… I never realised what I like about her works until I read “Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai” (I’m not an Angel). It was one of her older works…with a little out-dated kinda drawings but the feelings are so true and I can feel it.
One scene in the story goes like this:
The guy (seems to) have another girl in mind and the girl (his gf) knows about it through his actions and expressions… she wanted to wait it out thinking her bf will eventually look at no one else but her …. however, one day, after a certain incident, she couldn’t take it anymore and that’s when she told the bf that he can go over to the person he likes rather than stay with her…
Maybe I’m tired but I’m getting all emotional from this one scene alone.
Maybe I’m getting older…
Or… maybe I’m thinking to myself “I’m very lucky because my guy loves me and me alone…”
I don’t think I can ever stand to be in a relationship when my guy has another person in his heart.
I think I would be so hurt that I will willingly back away from the picture and avoid confronting the issue… I might even choose to leave this relationship since it just hurts too much.
For that, I think Midori (the female lead) is very courageous and honest with her feelings.
