@An Advocate for Manga: I cannot tell if this is supposed to be sarcastically taking a shot at me or not, but yes, English is my third language. I grew up in a third world country that isn't my country of origin, so naturally I'd have to know two other languages (native, and the country that I grew up in) before learning a third language at an international school. I wouldn't even go as far as to call myself composed, I just try to organise everything as much as possible before posting it and check for grammatical errors (although I did spell fictitious wrong in my first comment. I feel like some one might poke in and say it's not school, it's the internet, that I don't need to "type properly" but I feel like that would negate my studies in every way). Also, I wouldn't call myself an intellectual either. Usually, when I find people who consider themselves one, it's usually their ego boasting before they are put back in their place by their own mistakes. I think there are much more interesting and smarter people on this site as much as there are people who literally make no sense whatsoever.

@Arima: I agree with what you say, and can kind of understand with it being an escape from reality. But it's a confusion I have, usually when we escape from reality, doesn't it usually mean we escape it in order to well... be filled with mostly positive emotions instead of drilling out our negative ones? When I read these chapters, I try not to "invest" myself because it was made clear very early on that it's a mature series. I feel like "invest" is the wrong word for this statement... because I do get into the story, and I do feel the emotions being reflected back, but I guess I don't let it take over my entire thought process and melt out over it. Also, I actually thought that TG would have a much more mature and older audience, considering it's in the Seinen genre, but hey, guess I'm forgetting that free internet porn means kids with laptops can and will be all over it. Since when did age ratings ever stop people?

You and I are actually really close in age. I'm twenty, turning twenty-one next month. And I would agree that you are mature for your age and seem to have a better handle on letting yourself be free and enjoying your time. I usually don't enjoy nor dislike anything that happens, I just tend to be blank about it and assess the pros and cons. This leads to a lot of indecisiveness actually.

As for Hairu's death, I partially agree. It wasn't bad enough to be considered poor (I think the art is the saving grace that didn't allow it to drop to that), but it wasn't completely hitting the spot either. If anything... and I don't want to say this, but I'm afraid I have to: It feels like for the very first time, Ishida rushed something.

As for the hormonal teenagers, I get the need to want attention, especially from anywhere that's could say to you that someone in the world out there is noticing you and all, but it feels like it's becoming more aggressive by the time. People weren't this aggressive ten years ago when I was part of a forum made for fans of a series. I'm pretty sure I wasn't accussing people all over too... but oh well, can't place my standards on someone else especially when I don't know them. Which is well... pretty much why I was even indecisive whether or not to continue replying. Kids can take anything out of context and just hang on to a few words in an entire paragraph. I know I used to do that when I get into arguments with teachers at school.
