Early September I have been moving to Beijing for my Study which is why I haven’t been able to post anything on Blogger or Wordpress considering both websites are blocked in China for some reason. On the post today, I just finished reading Ai Yori Aoshi manga which was really enjoyable read considering I am never a big fan of Slice of Life. I watched Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi back when I was in Highschool and my biggest impression of the series comes from the main heroine Aoi Sakuraba.
Aoi is one
of the best representations of Yamato Nadeshiko in manga/anime series out there
with contemporary setting considering her kind usually found more in Meiji Era
kind of story. Her love story between Kaoru is not overly dramatic yet touching
and her perseverance is quite admirable. Before I read the manga I never really
understand why Aoi wore her Kimono most of the time in the series but as I
finished the manga, her kimono symbolise very important theme which is implied
in the title itself; “Love deeper than blue” as her Kimono will change color
over the time and so does her love with Kaoru grow even stronger over the time.
A very good Seinen Romance title if you haven’t read it and I think I will play
the VN eventually as well.
