Happy birthdaaaaay!

love ur picture!!

I don't necessarily hate unrealistic characters. It's just there needs to be some sense of rationality or logic balanced at least, depending on what genre you're involving.

No I don't think so?

Hope you get out of the slump man.

Not sure what you're looking for in an uplifting manga but these are 5 complete manga that can surely offer some positive energy:

Yes, she's technically a narcissist, but that doesn't make her a bad character in terms of writing. I hate this obnoxious generalization of the need to put main protagonists on pedestals for being "white knight" goody-two-shoe heroes with big campy aspiring dreams. That's what frustrates me with most mainstream shows.

Elaina isn't written to be a hero. This ridiculous whining of wanting her to be some "heroine of justice" is just silly to me. Believe me when I say that her being something akin to Shirou from Fate would be so offputting and boring to me. She's actually more relatable to me as regular people. Is it nice to play with the idea of always wanting help out in any bad looking incident? Sure, but good luck trying to hold up to those ideals. It's just not gonna work out.

She's simply a normal traveler in the end. Sure, she has magic, but everyone should know that magic ain't the answer to solving everything; if anything, it can more often make situations worse. In fact, Elaina's involvement in certain events or situations have often either changed nothing or just made things more soured.

At the same time, though, she turns out to be a lot more kind and caring (the light novel was better at displaying this, though, cause novels tend to expand upon unspoken thoughts and dialogue) and will at least try to help if it's within her means to do so and if she can have something to benefit from it herself.

She's not cynical, but more pragmatic, aka thinking about things in a more logical and reasonable way, albeit more so for her own well-being, which is something any one of us can relate. Again, good luck trying to think trying to help out all the time and be heroic will actually have realistic benefits, it's just simply not gonna work out. I've seen many shows where the hero tries too hard to be a figure of justice only to have nasty whiplashes that may or may not negatively affect their character development.

You do not need to like her, though. What you DO need to know is why she acts as such without taking shit at face value, the latter of which is such a big fucking problem with the anime community nowadays.

Hope this was helpful to a degree, sorry for the bluntness, though.

Not at all. Don't worry about that.

I am very happy that you shared that. I would definitely appreciate more people reading the manga. It is an underrated gem.

Thank you. I do know that manga and plan to read it. :)

Based.

That is awesome. Complex Age is special to me on a personal level as it was immensely relatable and I read it at a very appropriate time in my life.

Like you stated, the ending was extremely satisfying and the manga as a whole was uplifting. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

It just shows how having hobbies can be such a lifeline.

Hello. Very glad to hear that. It was a gem of a series and I really enjoyed reading through it.

Thanks. Since you can't decide what to watch next, I recommend Shadows House, SSSS.Dynazenon, and Sonny Boy.

I'll be sure to give it watch or read.

Good night :)

Neat bio, Genius Baka!

I’m ok. I have the flu so that has given me time to sleep and watch movies in bed.
