Kono Oto Tomare

[started : 05/07/21 | finished : 06/09/21]

who was your favorite character and why?
Sane and Momoya. I relate to momoya a lot in terms of wanting to be detached of other people, but still find release in something he likes to do, which is drumming. However, I really admire the fact that he doesn't put on any kind of mask to hide away who he truly is, but shows it to people outright when they first meet, as if to let them know that he's a bastard (although he ain't). So it was so nice to see momoya desire a place to stay and to stay with the club members, and especially the latest chapter, when uzuki just appeared out of nowhere and revealed momoya, he thought he would lose his place. I really wanted to hug him when he showed the face as if he was pleading for acceptance and forgiveness. My precious boi <3. I really just like Sane's sunshiny smile. He is so optimistic about everything, like most of the characters, but honestly, he might be my type?? Idk but he cute and I wanna hold his hand.

what was your favorite chapter?
Chapter 55 - that chapter felt like they were taking a breather to actually experience youth and for a moment, it felt like just relaxation.

overall thoughts and rating?
Honestly, Kono oto Tomare was a bit too youthfully shiny for me, and a little unrealistic. Usually, when I start these types of series about a certain sport or hobby, I expect to learn more about it too. But we only had a little of the actual technicality of the koto and just the connection between all of them, which supposedly improved their playing? This is why this manga to me is kinda of the epitome of 'looking through a rose-tinted glass for me'. This manga was honestly just shoujo, slice-of-life for me, and in that aspect, I really enjoyed it. But in terms of a music manga, this really wasn't it. I know the author was probably trying something new by putting the romance in, but honestly, if a boy told me encouraging things with a smile, he's automatically branded therapist friend in my head and I would hang with him for the comfort he brings. the romance was a nice touch, but it really made the whole manga take a different turn. So sadly, 6/10 for me.

Pandora Hearts

[started : 06/15/21 | finished : 06/20/21]

who was your favorite character and why?
Gilbert hands down. Honourable mention to uncle Oscar and Riem too. Gilbert waited years and years, in the beginning of the manga and at the end too. He was devoted, determined, confused and I loved him. I love his whole character, especially when he's shy, it's really cute. I commend him so much, that throughout the whole series and no matter what happened, he stuck to Oz thick and thin. I just... I wanna hug him and tell him that he done a good job.

what was your favorite chapter?
Chapter 48, 82 and 85.5. These were all precious moments that felt like a short pause in the story to relax and breathe, and honestly these chapters only made a little more sentimental about the main storyline.

overall thoughts and rating?
I cannot mention the amount of times I cried in this manga. There were so many deaths, kinda like in tokyo revengers, but these ones were sudden and all very hard-hitting. Just when you think, good riddance their gone, the author decides a pull a 180 at the very last second and show that they were just following their own values in their own hearts. There were both good and bad guys that passed away, but each and every single death meant something. I was so heartbroken at uncle Oscar's death, and at the end of the manga, when everyone just went on to live their own lives. I always love it when mangas have the cycle of life concept, because it's like telling us that every character will live on forever. Pandora Hearts was a very intricate world that took a while to understand, with its multitude of characters and all, but somehow, the author manages to let each character shine in their own way. Heck, I even still remember Phillipe from whichever chapter ago. I cannot even describe how amazing it is to see how literally each action that all the characters take, somehow influence the storyline someway or another. Mochizuki Jun is truly an amazing writer. Also, when I read that Duke Barma passed away without getting to marry the Duchess, I somehow burst into tears. It's a 10/10, but I could have it my way, I would rate it 15/10.

@Bestkindoftrash congrats on completing the challenge! feel free to grab the completion

who was your favorite character and why?

This is a bit of a challenging question in the sense that I didn’t had an exact Favorite Character, however, there’s two individualities that catched my attention in more than one way.

- Chanwoo Oh: The way he exudes Confidence, Positivity, Boundless Compassion, Loyalty and above all, Audacity to say exactly what he wants, to whoever he wants, whenever he wants.
Boldness that perhaps masquerades his own Weaknesses and Fears, yet gives him enough strength to face them in the end.
There’s no Double Meaning behind his Words, just Plain, Simple, Raw Feelings.
His Journey to find Self-Love, as well as Self-Worth is one of the most enticing things about the whole Series.
Side Note: I absolutely adore Chanwoo’s Positive Vibes Dance! So precious! >.<

- Jiwon Ahn: His Character Development it’s almost, if not more satisfying than the Romance Progression itself.
The way the Author starts monopolizing and gaining total control over our emotions, as Jiwon’s deconstructs every single layer that he created and built around him over the time.
That’s a whole other level of complexity, and probably one of the most gratifying things about this Manga.

what was your favorite chapter?

By far, the 70th Chapter.
Specifically, the scene where Jiwon wondered what would have happened if they met and healed each other’s wounds together.

“If only…Nam Dong-Gyun and I had met in High School…Maybe we would have less emotional wounds.”

This quote was stuck on my mind the whole time I was reading.
It gave the story a whole other meaning, a deeper, less artificial one.
A side that we haven’t seen up until here.
He finally looked at him, in a way that goes beyond what this World could ever perceive. He saw him, for what he truly is.
For the First time, he looked through him, not at him.
Their Souls touched, and that goes beyond what a simple Carnal Pleasure could ever convey.
Those smiles express what words wouldn’t been able to reach in that moment, “Your Very Existence Comforts Me”.

overall thoughts and rating?

This is more than a Romance, it’s about a journey to reach Self-Love, and the boldness that it takes to find Self-Worth.

To realize that nothing is worthy of us questioning our Dignity and Pride.
That to actually be able to pursue a relationship, there needs to be a balance between wanting to make things work out together, with putting our our own mental health in First Place.
There’s no need to give up one thing, in order to pursue the other.

What I love the most about this Manga, is that it enhances the fact that there’s no such thing as Two Perfect People, that together, make an Ideal Couple.
They’re just willing to compromise, and actually want to make an effort to fit in and adjust to the other’s needs, while figuring out the rest along the way.

When it comes to the Rating, for all of the reasons mentioned above, I gave it an 8/10.
