You shouldn't be surprised! P&P is a great book. Jane Austen is a very good writer. People who haven't read her stuff sometimes think that she writes weepy romances, and the movies of her books don't help that much, but in reality her books are funny and sarcastic.


Fair enough! In my defense, I didn't expect to like it because I thought I had read it in high school and disliked it, but it turned out that I was confusing P&P with a different book.

I was talking to ketchup actually, but then you replied to to my post directed to him.



I just want to clarify, I am quoting a funny line in the blog post. Nothing I said myself. I guess I made my post a bit unclear. I went back and edited it so it might be a tiny bit more clear.

I’m sure Sai’s rival possesses one of the opposing characters,
Funny, I've always got the impression that Touya Meijin was similarly possessed by a ghost, especially after Akira's encounter with the Haze Junior High principal, in which he was talking about how he used to play Go with the older Touya... and there was a building then that was rumored to be haunted.*


*This is my recollection of the anime, it may slightly off, and it may also not have been in the manga

Feel bad for bumping the thread, but she finally got to Post Four, after NaNoWriMo and holiday stuff. Figured I'd share, since it seemed to go over well previously.

Hmm. You might've gotten the better end of the deal since P&P is so much shorter than this entire series of manga. xD But at least you're both enjoying your reads. :D

I love Pride and Prejudice but it took me a long time to get to that point. I hated the book until I started to like the newest movie, which I had disliked at first. I just didn't believe that Mr. Darcy was actually a good guy! I really believed in Elizabeth's prejudice of his pride. She threw away the prejudice but I could not at first. I can really see it now though.

As for Hikaru no Go. I was more obsessed with Inuyasha, the first anime I watched, more involved with every aspect of it. Whereas until someone brought it up in this thread I didn't even know the writer of HnG was female! But when I watch Hikaru no Go I enjoy it so much more than almost anything else I've watched. And it's definitely because of Akira. He's so insanely compelling to me. I know he's just a character and probably not a particularly amazing one to anyone else. And no one in real life is that intense... But I LOVE his intensity. It's so exciting. He's really obsessed with Hikaru/Sai and I'm obsessed with that. But anyway. It's obviously not only because of him that I love the show so much. I think Go is really cool and that's why I've come all the way to these forums!

I enjoyed hearing your girlfriend's perspective of the show. I posted some comments on her posts. She is clearly one of the people who's not as obsessed with Akira as me though. xD Which is fine. I think I'm alone in that. xD
