manga. they're so accurate. i don't know what it is about a girl who effortlessly waves her head from left to right, and right to left, leaving her hair to follow in the same direction and its shadow to envelope her face, that captures my utmost attention. then again, maybe i do know. it's manga. esp those that are about a guy who ends up in a dorm/house/hotel/company of a group of girls with exceptionally stunning beauty, and eventually hooks up with this particular gal whom he initially has alot of screw ups with. unrealistic and impossible, it very often gives the reader that ray of hope that reality always keeps hidden. hidden in some godforsaken place where you probably never going to find, except in your dreams and that manga you're currently reading. the only difference between the manga and real life is that in the comics, it all works out for the lead character. how it rains and there's only the lead gal and the male lead left alone in a certain premises, or how gals actually find someone (the male lead) looking beneath their clothes amusing and tolerable. i mean, whenever i daydream during tutorials or lectures, it'll be of the same old scene. it's raining cows and monkeys and you're scurrying around, searching for a nearby shelter. fortuntely, there's a bus-stop in sight. u escape the pouring rain to fall into another shower. shower of love. there, seated patiently with her hands on her lap, dry as a feather because of the umbrella she's holding onto tightly, is the gal of your dreams. oddly, she's alone at this hour of the day, and appears to be waiting for the bus. w/o a soul in sight, you try to start a covnersation but the words are devoured by the echoes of the wind. unexpectedly, she turns round and you're in her sight. 'hey! didnt know you take this route too. darn, you're wet. here, need a towel? i've got a spare.' you reply, but it matters nothing, as it's what you do next that is more significant. u walk towards her and she takes the initiative to dry you. the both of you get comfortable and converse about everything under the sun. you pay no attention to what she says, savouring only the beauty of her eyes. but she ignorantly obliges and continues to blabber about how her sister should have been here to pick her up. the bus never arrives and the bus stop is only filled with your presence and hers. eerie? i say lovely. yea, i always hoped it'll happen, but hell, it never does. it's impossible, cos' our schedules are a world's difference, i'm always with my friends and she's with hers.i can never catch her alone at the bus stop with it raining profusely. that's probably the most impt part. the atmosphere has gotta work in your favour before you can to do anything foolish. been reading this manga 'liang feng' lately. guy lead lives next door to the gal whom he is head over heels for. they are in the same sch, same class. they both are always arguing initially, and the gal very often catches him doing something humilating. her impression of him worsens, and it seems that they'll never ever get together. but in the end, she softens up, shows her vulnerable, adorable, feminine side and it all works out for the male lead. hence, the point i want to make, is that in many of the scenes, the situation is all in favour for the lead. esp the part when he was about to declare his undying love for her. they're botyh alone on some hill top. fireworks are everywhere in the starry sky. she's holding him by hand, they've had a great day at the theme park and the stage is all set. he gao bais. yea, as much as we try to imitate the exact same scene, it'll never be the same. i guess manga will only remain as a reflection of one's fantasy, not reality. but it's alright. cos' in life, nothing works in your favour. sadly. but truly. |
