Fujoshi-ish lines.

2005/11/12 01:00

My girlfriend occasionally… no, frequently, acts in strange ways.

Let’s call it… fujoshi-itis.

I think she’s coming down with another bad bout of it.

Y-KO:	Hey, try saying a line like something out of a manga.
ME:	……… Like what?
Y-KO:	Umm, like something that will make that speed wagon guy want to call you IDIOT and slap you upside the head.

As usual, a completely absurd and impossible request out of the blue.

Despite my better judgment, however, I decided to ask.

It wouldn’t do to upset my girlfriend, after all.

ME:	Errr… Can you give me an example?
Y-KO:	Okay… Like something from this manga.

“This” manga turned out to be Love Celeb.

*Love Celeb: Gin’s grandfather is the prime minister of Japan, and his father is the head of an elite business conglomerate. Gin himself is the heir to the Fujiwara group. Instead of following his predetermined fate, however, he falls in love with the unsuccessful teen idol Kirara in this shjo manga full of sexy hooks and twists. It also has that, uh, whatchamacallit (great, so much for this definition!), where characters from Mayu Shinjo’s other series Sensual Phrase show up. Anyway, if you’re interested, you should borrow it from a friend or go read it at a manga café. By the way, it’s apparently quite successful and has even been popular in several other countries around the world.

Great. Mayu Shinjo!!

So…

Uhh…
