Shoujo Manga

Oh me, I always love reading my shoujo manga. I was introduced to manga by my friend Emily when I was 13/14 and I grew to love it. I remember when I first discovered shoujo manga and I would stay up all night into the morning reading it. It's a similar experience with my love-y Korean drama's which are usually based off of a shoujo type manga. It's one of the few things that makes me bubbly happy. I will smile real big and giggle and with a really good shoujo manga, my heart will soar. I always am drawn to the pure and kind spirit of the way many of the mangaka's write. Of course, it's totally my "budding young girl" thing, as well. I used to be embarrassed of that part of me but now it brings me much joy. Not to mention how hilarious they are to me! I love to watch the crazy way the mangaka will draw the characters and how silly they act. It's about the same way in the Korean drama's. I remember when I first discovered it, I felt like I had come home. Tonight, I stopped and reflected upon my past love ~ "Love is a wonderful thing." Love of a brother, a father, a mother and a friend. I thought of romance and blushing bright red. I thought of passion and I thought of those moments of encouragement. I thought of being curled up in a ball with my brother as we both cried our eyes out...I thought of all these beautiful, intimate moments...And I smiled, "Love is a wonderful thing." Those moments come and those moments pass. I am thankful for each one of them.
