#itazura na kiss 2

[saranghanuuu]

I'm not sure if everyone already knows this but Yuki Furukawa is now a married man! His wife is older than him just like his ideal type and they're already expecting a baby! My fangirl heart is sad right now and happy for him at the same time because he already found the love of his life. Even Honoka congratulated them so we must do the same. Congratulations Furupon! You'll always be our Irie Naoki🥰

"WandaVision", but if Wanda Maximoff was an otaku:

Episode 1: "Ranma 1/2" (represents the 1980s)

Episode 2: A mix of "Fushigi Yugi" and "Itazura na Kiss" (represents the early-to-mid-1990s)

Episode 3-4: A mix of "Cardcaptor Sakura" and "Inuyasha" (represents the late 1990s)

Episode 5: A mix of "Chobits", "Tokyo Mew Mew", and "Howl's Moving Castle" (represents the early 2000s)

Episode 6: "Clannad" (represents the late 2000s)

Episode 7: A mix of "Your Lie in April" and "Your Name" (represents the 2010s) / EDIT: Also, "Kaguya-Sama: Love is War", mainly because Agnes would be the Chika Fujiwara of the series

Episode 8-9: A mix of "Doki Doki Literature Club" and "Elfen Lied" (represents Wanda's breakdown, the Hex falling apart, and Agatha forcing Wanda to relive her traumatic past)

Itazura na Kiss: Love in Tokyo / & Itazura na Kiss 2: Love in Okinawa. 8

Story: 7

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

This is a very faithful adaptation of the original Taiwanese’s version of ‘It Started With a Kiss’ followed by the Korean’s version ‘Playful Kiss’. There’s a lot of remakes. I have to say between this one and the Korean’s version are my fav. 🤷‍♀️ in this one the female lead is written a tiny bit more stronger to the point she’s not pushed around so much. Nonetheless I do think each version is special if you’re a fan of this story. This one just tips the bar slightly more.

Random Hanadan/BoF Shitpost

After hearing that Love in Flames of War, a republican era cdrama had Hana Yori Dango/Boys Over Flowers/ Meteor Garden/ F4 vibes... but eventually failed to deliver on that front I rambled at @dangermousie​ that, actually, we SHOULD have a Hanadan version of every genre of cdrama.

 No...wait...I’m joking...but also not. My reasoning for this is solid:

 1) No matter what you thing of Hanadan and all it’s objectively toxic and dated glory, you can’t deny it is a hallmark in the history of shoujo manga/anime/asian drama/ live action adaptation/remake pumping machine. It paved the way for all the ItaKiss, Fated to Love You, etc...and it is still to this day a nostalgia magnet for an easy cash grab with each remake (also the latest one might be the best lol).

 2) *Surrender by Cheaptricks plays in the background, talks in “there is no war in ba sing se” mode* There are no new ideas in media. Everything is a sequel, prequel, remake, reboot, retelling, soft reboot, parody, homage, the same thing over and over again but call it by another name (it’s still a rose, yeah Shakespeare, you’re a genius, congrats!).

 3) Let’s face it. Dramaland is going through the lowest of lows. Cdramas are bad and boring, Kdramas are scarce and boring and Jdramas are 10 ep cute little intros to the story you really wanna see that’s about to begin...at the end of ep10, last episode, no 2nd season. So, they might as well try Every Hanadan Set Everywhere all at Once.

 So, without further ado, introducing...every genre of Cdrama Hanadan (with crazy plot eggs for some and none for others bc I say so):

Starting with contemporary…

1)      Reverse hanadan where the fl is a rich asshole and the ml a poor little meow meow

2)      Time loop hanadan

3)      Modern Fantasy hanadan (sort of like the beginning of Bulgasal but more petty and less angsty lol)

4)      Transmigration low budget web drama romcom hanadan

5)      *barfs* modern office corporate romance hanadan

6)      *barfs again* gaming hanadan

7)      Sports hanadan (aka if HanaKimi wasn’t genderbender or cute but toxic instead)

8)      Coming of Age/ Youth to Adult Married life Hanadan 

Syke! Too late! There is already an OG classic toxic Hanadan of this Genre, it’s called Itazura na Kiss (and it’s my guilty pleasure, my personal hanadan lol)

9)      Ice sports hanadan....yesss...get gory with the bullying with ice skating blades muahahaha. The red card locks her on the ice rink and they oil the railings/plexiglass around it so she can't even climb out and she nearly freezes to death. They rope her to the back of a zamboni and drag her through the ice. While she is trapped on the ice rink, they rig a bucket of water to fall over her so she freezes faster.

Now for the period dramas…

10)   Republican Era hanadan

They could use the boat scene ending from the finale of the anime as a convenient plotpoint to escape the republican era without dying in the republican turmoil. "Oh, they just reunited dramatically on a boat post amnesia and went abroad together and missed all the political fatal shit and lived happily ever after. Their kids returned to China and lived happily under the great CCP rule (/s)!

11)   Palace hanadan

It’s hanadan meets legend of Ruyi where he is the Crown Prince but the Empress Dowager holds all the power and on some humiliation move has him take a barbarian slave as a concubine...and the red card is that it's open season on her from every noble or regular consort of his harem and his friends in the court...all is fair the only rule is she cannot be murdered, everything else is fair game. So she is beating to the brink of death, poisoned daily with agonizing pills only to be given antidotes at the last minute, drowned, flayed, etc.

12)   Wuxia hanadan. Similar. Dude is the leader of the jianghu, declares her a demon bc she offended him and has all the pretentious righteous sects go after her with agonizing Gus pushed on her body, plenty of chains, kebab her in multiple ways with stakes in torture chambers to cast out the evil.

13)   BL Wuxia hanadan. (this one is just here by popular demand. Mine. No, I will not elaborate on that).

14)   And at last…my personal favorite….drum rolls… Xianxia hanadan (here is the plot):

She spilled peach wine on his cloud robes once by accident before the Great Heaven's Ceremony so he scribed her name carelessly on the stone of the doomed as petty revenge hoping she'd get some bad karma. But at the time the Demon Overlord was fighting the Lord of Fate and the Dijun on Kunlun and as they made their final strike the demon overlord turned into a cloud of heavy miasma that swirled away swiftly for miles and landed on the stone of the doomed. Hence, for the next 10.000 years the calamities and heavenly tribulations of every god were transferred into the unlucky FL.

In the first 300 years, the gods were unsure of what was happening, but soon word spread of a small menial demigoddess who seemed to be getting an abnormal amount of calamities and trials and yet never ascended into a higher level god. But other gods were getting past their fated tribulations dates without experiencing the event itself but still ascending afterwards. Soon this bizarre phenomenon was being gossiped throughout all the heavenly realms and the gods were rushing to get their hands on every magical item capable of moving forward their tribulation dates... After all, who knew how long this free meal would last? So it follows that our female lead spent the next 10.000 overbooked from torturing calamity to the next without a break or a reward.

Our cloud cloaked protagonist came to learn of this business about 500 years into it. It was not his intention for the karmic payback to be that harsh...but then again it was his best cloud vest that the annoying, insignificant little demigoddess had ruined...and if the consequences had been that rough, who was he to question the Great Design. He soon forgot all about it, surely none of that pesky matter would come back to bother him...

10.000 later: Our fuming fl finally had enough...after experiencing every form of dismemberment as a human, for eons, though she didn't collect an ounce of heavenly grace to ascend to higher goddess....she sure damn well accumulated enough yin to form a monumental grudge...and she would use all of that energy into one single punch for a certain cloud clothed god that would send him so high the gods would finally know what lies above the heavenly realm...not that he'd get the opportunity to tell the tale.

Congrats! you made it to the end of my loooong ass ramble. 

Here’s some Ice Cream...

[myezblog]

The love stories we love

Someone asked me why VegasXPete are popular. Here is  my answer:

There are all kinds of love stories we love. If there has ever been an evergreen theme, it is hate to love.

1. Vegas X Pete -> The true intense hate to intense passionate love story

Quintessential, Guy really hates girl, uses hot and cold techniques, girl falls for him, he hurts her, eventually falls for her, then starts to woo her, the girl goes from being a nobody to simply owning his life, .. but now the girl has so many trust issues that she does not know if this love is true or just another manipulation..

That’s it.. there is payoff and there is no confirmation!

This is the story of falling in love

2. Kinn X Porsche -> this is the story of navigating your first real serious love. Lust to love, attraction to love

You both were attracted to each other, but who will be the first one to confess.. and probably you do confess.. and how do you grow together

This is the story of  growing together from bud to full bloom

3. KimXporschay

Oh well.. this is the highschool romance of plain Jane meets high school Mr. popular, who doesn’t quite like his rude friends and has this side that he can open up only to the plain jane

Although if Porschay were any smarter, this would be BL rendition of Pride and Prejudice

4. Tankhun X Dr. Top

Let me tell you, this is the most difficult one to execute

This is ROMCOM.. a very very very good one.. a very comedic one.. not slapstick..but comedy

5. Macau

ha ha.. this is the love story of regular people with regular life and regular mindset

( i could stretch this to say in some alternate univers this is also the story of itazura na kiss BUT with intelligent Kotoko)

6. Big -> unrequited love gone wrong

7. Tawan -> gold digger love; this is TV drama love where second female lead/villain has to definitely do illogical things for plot to move forward

8. I am sure there are some other ones to... ( Time-Tay-Tem : cheat and find way back to the true love)

9. And then there is my favourite.. LIKE FAVOURITE OF ALL TIMES

Pete X Venice

If you know, you know

( if this were a vampire movie or a goblin movie.. this love would definitely turn into romantic .. ha ha.)

[captainjoongki]

I havent seen many japanese dramas so do you have some romance ones recs????

okay off the top of my head, here are some in no particular order (btw you might have to watch all of them on dramac*ol and related bc they are rarely on official streaming sites :/)

1. itazura na kiss (seasons 1 and 2) - this drama has been made in like 5 different countries with a bunch of versions (and i have seen them all lmao) but i find this japanese version to be the BEST. it stays true to the anime/manga which is cliche af but cute and funny. might not be for everyone but it’s a comfort show for me

2. koi wa tsuzuku yo doko made mo - the plot is like a bit more grown-up version of itazura but it's SOO sweet and sato takeru is a revelation in it

3. kahogo no kahoko - tol meets smol. that's it. i think it has a movie sequel but i don't remember it that well......but the drama was adorable

4. a girl and three sweethearts - i feel like everyone has seen this since it stars kento, but it's a fun watch

5. buzzer beat - older drama and yamapi's hair is tragic in it, but the chemistry and plot????? unmatched. such a great summer drama

6. love that makes you cry - the ending is not tragic don't worry. great winter-time drama and yes i did cry

7. from 5 to 9 - another famous one and it somewhat deserves it. not as good as the others plot-wise but the chemistry makes up

8. rich man, poor woman - don't let the title fool you it's quite deep plot-wise and THE oguri shun is in it. that makes it mandatory viewing

9. 1L of tears - tragedy!warning but such a classic

10. hotaru no hikari - an older one but cohabitation hijinks!!! has 2 seasons and i think a movie??? jdramas tend to love movie sequels idk why

11. code blue - yeah this isn't really a ROMANCE but it has romance in it it's like the more dramatic jdrama version of hosplay but it's a great watch it has like 3 seasons and 2 movies (?)

12. some other super classic jdramas are hana yori dango and nobuta wa produce which are also worth it but they're older and not in the best quality but still fun watches!

[addictedtojmanga]

Best male characters in shoujo & josei manga - in my opinion, ofc

!!! Might contain spoilers about Love so Life, Faster than a Kiss, Last Game, Love Phantom, Special A, ReRe Hello, Kainushi wa Akuma, Sabaku no Harem, Max Lovely and Kimi ni Todoke. 

So, my criteria for this was:

1. is he toxic?

2. can he communicate properly with the female lead?

3. could I stand to talk with him for more than an hour?

That’s basically it. I used to love a bunch of male characters without realizing how douchey they actually were. Do I still love them? Yeah, but mostly because of nostalgia, I don’t actually consider them good men. 

I’m not saying the men in this list are perfect, cause c’mon we all know how manga characters - and people - are, but I think these are pretty great.  

Without further ado, here’s my - non ranked - fave MLs:

1. Matsunaga Seiji, Love so Life. 

This man is adorable, the best thing ever, I want him to myself. We don’t actually see a lot of romance in Love so Life, HOWEVER, Seiji is a responsible, caring, sweet guy. Once he gets his shit together he talks openly with the female lead about how he feels and how - because of their age difference - he’s willing to wait for her and that she doesn’t have to answer him right then and there or feel guilty if she doesn’t want to be with him in the future. 

Honestly, I really love him. He’s not a creepy older guy preying on a young girl, he respects her age and wants her to live her youth before settling down. Does he rely a bit too much on a 16yo? Yes, but I overlook it ‘cause I love him.

2. Ojiro Kazuma, Faster than a Kiss. 

Again, not a teacher/older man preying on a young girl. He’s her teacher and their relationship starts out with him wanting to protect/help his student out. If I’m not mistaken, he doesn’t even kiss her until she graduates, HOWEVER, he does make her wear sexy costumes, which is problematic. 

Overall, he’s sweet, helps her a lot, really loves her and wants to protect her (and her cute litlle brother). 

3. Yanagi Naoto, Last Game.

Yanagi starts out as a douchey rich kid who thinks he’s superior to everyone else until he’s beaten by the female lead and wants to defeat her. Overtime, he realizes he’s actually in love with her. He’s shy when it comes to her, and very patient. 

Did he follow her to middle school, high school and college? Yes. Would I find that creepy in real life? Absolutely. Can I excuse it because it’s a shoujo manga? Yes again. 

I think he’s a solid male lead for a shoujo manga, and I personally like him, but I definitely see issues with his behavior. 

4. Hase Kei, Love Phantom.

I want him. He’s older than the FL, so he often teases her, but I find it pretty adorable, especially when he’s the one feeling shy. Excluding chapter 01, I can’t remember any obvious flaws in his behavior. To sum up, I love him. 

5. Takishima Kei, Special A. 

Here is an OG male lead that I wouldn’t punch or kick.

Kei is handsome, rich, super smart and he doesn’t give a fuck about anything except the FL. She’s extremely competitive and he always goes along with her whims. He’s protective of her and a tad possessive, but it doesn’t really bother me. He’s pretty solid. 

6. Suou Minato, ReRe Hello.

Minato has his flaws as a person, but as a man/boyfriend, I really love him. I feel like he really cherishes the FL and usually respects her independence. If you haven’t read this manga, I definitely recommend you do!

7. Albrecht Ebel, Kainushi wa Akuma.

He’s super hot and sassy, I love it. Does he sort of sexually harass the FL? Yes, frequently. Does it bother me? Not really, to be honest. And I absolutely despise when male characters are forceful or rapey. I don’t know how to explain it, but at the same time that he teases her, he’s extremely sweet. I know this intro sounds bad, but I want to be upfront about it. Major spoilers ahead: in one of the final chapters, he’s feeling possessive and tries to have sex with her (she didn’t contest it), and when he comes to, she’s trembling and he stops, apologizes, says that there’s no meaning to it if she doesn’t want to and stays distant from her until she approaches him after realizing they love each other.

He is super sweet and she does love him, of course (it’s still a shoujo manga after all). I think everyone should give it a read (and you can delve into the wonderful world of flirting that is Kaji Eiri’s mangas). 

(Real quick, part of the reason I love her work so much is that the main couple flirts consistently throughout the manga, and one thing that bothers me a lot in shoujo manga is when the protagonists only get together in the last chapter.)

8. Sahara Taki, Max Lovely. 

Honestly, I just really love their relationship. This is a 20 year old manga but it’s really solid. I’ve re-read this a bunch of times and I absolutely love it. It’s not romance exclusively, there’s a pretty dark background story, but I really enjoy it. And Taki is a pretty baby, super sweet with the FL and usually very honesy with her.

9. Prince Kallum, Sabaku no Harem.

Would I be one of many wifes to a handsome and rich prince? No. Do I treat manga as reality? God, no. 

He’s very amusing, loves to tease the FL and is pretty sweet. I really enjoyed reading this, I think it’s a solid shoujo with a great male lead, and should definitely be on your list if you haven’t read it yet. 

10. Kazehaya Shouta, Kimi ni Todoke.

Is he my favorite male character? No. To be perfectly honest, he’s not even on my top 10. But is he a good man/boyfriend? Yes, and that’s why he’s on this list.

Like I said in the beginning of the post, there are toxic male characters that I still love despite them being shitty. 

Kazehaya is a popular type but he’s super nice and charismatic. He treats the FL which is usually dismissed by everyone with a lot of respect and care. I think he’s a bit too shy and indirect, which can sometimes jeopardize his relationship with her, but other than that, he’s a great guy. 

BONUS 01: not actually a boyfriend but I love him

Tsuruga Ren, Skip Beat. 

Now, is Ren perfect? No, he has a lot of flaws. A LOT. But I absolutely love him and I think he’s maturing. 

BONUS 02: I don’t personally love this type of character for myself, but I really like him 

Suoh Tamaki, Ouran High School Host Club. 

Like I said, he’s not my type, but I think he’s pretty cute and adorable and totally deserves to be on the list, so I made this spot just for him. 

BONUS 03: douchey guys I was blindly in love with as a teenager

1. Usui Takumi, Kaichou wa Maid-Sama. 

Do I hate Usui? No, not at all. I actually really like him. 

But he’s possessive, secretive, dismissive and forceful.

2. Irie Naoki, Itazura na Kiss. 

Naoki has always been - in my opinion - a dick. He pissed me of quite a bit even back then. But, since I always make sure to wear my shoujo anime/manga glasses to ignore problematic behavior when I’m reading manga, I don’t hate him.

! Please don’t get me wrong, even with my shoujo anime/manga glasses there are certain things that I can’t ignore and that really drive me crazy (ex. rape, racism, fat shaming, etc) 

It’s simply that I can understand that there’s a huge gap between manga and reality, and as long as I can recognize the problematic behaviors, I feel like I can enjoy them and respect the poetic license behind it. 

 Ok, that’s it, sorry for the long-ass post.
