unrequited.

It's already 1:24 am(maybe this will be posted later this afternoon). My monitor clock ticks the same with all other clocks in this city. Probably, most of the people are sleeping right now. But me, just starting my day after I got home a while ago. You'll be expecting some randomly being posted still until before two. After that, I'm dropped dead. You'll be seeing me at tokyo or right beside Kazehaya(laughs). I'm already dreaming. So here is the topic... 'Unrequited love'. I am browsing my 'plan to read' category a while ago at my myanimelist profile and I selected this featured manga with a different title. I'm excited to read a new one. It's because my few favorites didn't update yet. I am also fond of discovering manga. I really like 90's manga. And when I say 90's it's when sketches are like all faces(haha) and the background is completely boring. And don't forget the 90's haircuts! haha. To cut it off, I don't know why I like them.,grrr.(but this new manga is not from 90's, just sayin')

So then again, I opened this manga and the summary was  catchy. Even if, it feels like it's 'the same as others' at first, it can't be helped. Unrequited love is love and love is romantic love and romantic love is amazing and..well, you know what I mean. We relate. That's important. It's about the story of a girl student with her bffs liking a certain idol at school. At first, she never feels for the guy but a meeting at a train changed it all. The guy accidentally broke her cellphone accessory and the introduction began. (fastforward) So after finding herself feeling love, confession accidentally said at the train station and rejection, even if it was kindly said, stabbed her hopeful heart.
Unrequited, indeed.

Is it ok to love a person continuously after hearing him say 'thank you, but sorry. I'm seeing someone right now'? This question lingered at my head during my commute to a destination after reading the few chapters of the manga this morning. It reached my philosophies in life but never shaken. After the answer above, the girl accepted it and hoped to maintain the friendship. Unrequited love like this, makes me question feelings. I'm loving the speed of time so my questions always specifies time as a common factor. Like, how long should you endure a broken heart? How long did one-sided love be as it is? Did unrequited love can grow and develop? If love is associated with growing, how unrequited love grow? When only one person feels the love, how can she be paid when waiting is not an option?

The guy friend of the the male leadl who is in-love with the girl asked about her feelings. It strucked my senses. He said, "What do you want to be to him?" That's right, my mind suddenly reacted. If only one person feels love, how far will it go and what to do you want to accomplish towards that person?. The female lead said that at times when she was with the guy, she always hope to make it last. She also said that her feelings were no place to go, they just piled up. She said it's fine and enough. Both parties are true. Yes, it's legal to like someone and to develop those feelings into love. But hopes getting up bit by bit everytime she as with the guy as he gazes and stares and laughs and eat choolates. You wanted to make it last. Yet, at the end of the day, he'll be back at his girlfriend. You are looking all with the cutest and positive way possible to let no hurt barge in. But, at some point, where does this go? Did this love has limits?

On the other hand, the guy's friend love the girl and decided to win the girl by trying his best. By staying at her side, he balances reality for her. And, if reality strikes, he always finds himself presenting it to the girl. He once said that her loved-one has a girlfriend and wishing for anything is not okay.

I'll be talking about this guy then, to whom the girl lead strikes her love into. Seriously, He's really hot. The fact that you will always look after his actions and observe his habits can make you realize why she fell in love with him. A typical idol looking but reveales a different approach that makes it even more mysterious. Other shoujo manga boys doesn't love sweets, but he does. Others ignore their fans but he acknowledges them even if he has been called by his name for the nth time everyday. Others are not nice and playboy but he's the kindest. He smiles always in front of someone he really likes(guess who?) as if he was just told the first hilariously joke on earth.;)

Ok.. I'm gonna stop now, this is taking too long. hihi. I'm gonna clear out one thing, love surely is mysterious. It can't be helped when it's already there.. but things develop, seasons pass, and seriously, people change! So... there must be love! ;)
