Manga: Love Monster
I remember some of the storyline because I used to read this manga two years ago. It took a while for it to finish (Finally ends! Chapter 82! I think they release it twice per month so yeah)
Basically the story is about
A girl was accepted to a school but it was a monster school and then she has this extremely good looking fiance but they are half monsters, bla bla bla and your typical shoujo manga plot over here and there.
Sob sob… it finally end ;~;
First Impression: I forgot
If it was supposed to release twice a month, it means it took around 41 months to finish the manga and also that’s 3 years + I read the first 30+ chapters and that’s it.
The only thing I hate about reading incomplete series is that you probably need to re-read the whole thing every time you read a new chapter because it can easily be forgotten (Who actually remember everything in like 40~60 pages when you get to read them once in a while? definitely not me >.>)
Second Impression: Too long
It’s okay if Naruto or Bleach has freaking long chapters (400, anyone?) but for a shoujo manga to have 82 chapters is a little bit too much.
I actually discussed about this with Niki when she first told me the last chapter is up.
Niki: eh… love monster last episode is out liao (The manglish translation: already)
Me: Really? how many chapters already?
Niki: 82
Me: Wah.. so long.. I stopped reading after like 30++ Chapters ler
Niki: Yalor.. to long
Me: True.. boring ler after that
Why is it so so so boring?
- They keep adding chars to fight over the lead girl and also boy which is boring cause this is a common plot in Shoujo Mangas
I wish I have a stalker as good looking as this
Third Impression: The stalker effect
“I want to protect you so I killed everyone” -a stalker’s wise words
Just because someone became your one and only friend in the past, you don’t have to protect them by killing others. If you seriously want to do so, might consider killing your friend and put her whole body in the “liquid thingy” to preserve them like in the clip below
Cry again
Fourth Impression: Love VS The World
If your lover suddenly tell you that you can save the whole world by killing him? What will you do?
- If you killed him, you will gain back everything you’ve lost or for the benefit of others
- If you did not kill him, he will destroy the whole world including you
A person that’s madly in love with his or her lover will probably tell you, “I want to be with that person no matter what”
A rational person will tell you “Sacrifice one for the whole world; worth it although it’s your lover,”
If you apply this concept in the reality, it will be the same as, “If your partner told you he or she wants to join the military, will you allow him or her to do so?”
I can’t answer that question myself >.>
