I've been reading Kannou Sensei a lot, and I think it's really, really good.

The characters are so interesting, so emotional. The main character in particular feels so human, it's almost scary; I feel like he's a real person trapped in the page. He's so neurotic about love, but he fights to keep himself reasonable.

Sorry for sharing such an unfinished thought, but it's really been hitting me. The more I think about it, the more I love it.

The romance, as well, is just so intriguing. It feels so reticent, so stuttery and wobbly, and yet so sure. The characters are clearly in love, they've been so from the start, but the way they run straight at each other only to pull back is just so enthralling.

I can't get enough of the art, either. It's oddly impressionist, at times, I think.

I don't know, I just love it. It's making me want to rewatch In The Mood For Love, which I've been meaning to rewatch for the longest time, actually. Well, a month. Whatever.

I wore my new suit, today. It was very nice!
