Naruto: The Last Chapter

It was 15 long years of dramatic and action filled journey and truth be told I was one of those people who wish for this to end. I remember I was just a first year high school when I first met you back in 2003. It wasn’t love at first sight but maybe love in a time of crisis.

Back then, our television was broken so I spent the whole summer thinking about you and how will it all end. Will it end with love, agony or more action? I never thought it would end in a very futuristic way.

Naruto became the seventh Hokage (is that called shichikage?). He married Hinata and they had two children namely Bolt (who resembles Naruto) and Himawari (who resembles Hinata).

Sasuke had a world tour for his redemption and eventually went back to Konoha and married Sakura (Wahhhhh!!!!! I love you Sasuke-kun). Their daughter’s name is Salad who didn’t just get her father’s looks but seems his coldness as well.

Shikamaru married Temari and oh yeah! I love them both. Unexpectedly, Ino married Sai. Choji tied the knot with Karui. Gaara became nerdy? Hehe

Everyone became happy and moved on from the past circumstances. I did not though. I still love Minato and Neji that it pains me to see them not being part of the “happy ending” but of course I couldn’t decide for its ending because if I can, I’ll just kill Kankouro or maybe Konohamaru? Hehe. Sorry Konohamaru fans, I simply love Neji and Minato.

All’s well that end ends well. I will always love you guys and Master Masashi Kishimoto, thank you for the wonderful anime ride. I will always treasure my love for Sasuke and my respect towards you. This manga will stay in my heart and surely, others feel the same. I know I’m being emotional here and all but I just feel like I met a friend and I lived in Konoha for a few years and now I need to leave it. In the near future when it’s possible to take a step in Konoha village, I shall meet you again Naruto and the gang (of course I’ll look for Sasuke first! Hehe). For now, let’s have “good” bye.

Matane minna!

My Teen Romantic Comedy is Wrong as Expected/ Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU or My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU (やはり俺の青春ラブコメはまちがっている。 Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru, lit. "My youth romantic comedy is wrong as I expected."), also known in the short forms Hamachi (はまち?) and OreGairu (俺ガイル?).

Ahahaha. I kept on laughing when I watched this anime. Why? Because I love his twisted way of thinking. Hachiman is an anti-social creature with a remarkable talent in influencing people with his pessimistic but realistic opinions. He thinks literally, out of the box and with his crude personality, he answers question in science with words like, “Animals generally form groups. Carnivores have a hierarchy, and those that don’t manage to get to the top of the food chain will live a life of constant stress. Herbivores have their own problems, like being forced to abandon their own survive enemy attacks. As you can see, being in a group brings no advantages to the individual. Thus, I choose to be the bear, a beast that refuses to form groups with others. It’s an animal of isolation that’s not at all worried about its solitary lifestyle. Let’s not forget that bears get to hibernate as well. Oh, what a wonderful existence. If I’m ever reincarnated, I most certainly would like to be reborn as a bear.” One day he was brought by his guidance counselor to a room and introduced him to outlandishly gifted woman named Yukino Yukinoshita. Together, they formed the service club which intends to help others. Their first client Yui Yuigahama became part of their club as well. They got along well in a sense but circumstances suddenly hindered them from becoming closer to one another.

On the first day of high school, Hachiman had an accident while trying to save Yui’s dog. He wasn’t able to attend school for three weeks. Yui thought that if such did not happen, things could have been different for Hachiman. He might have been a “better” person. Hachiman, on the other hand, thinks that Yui’s feelings for him are purely out of guilt. Thus, he indirectly rejected her. He also distanced himself from Yukino when he found out that the car which rammed into him belongs to her.  In the end, they managed to settle their misunderstanding.





His point of view is plausible but it lacks emotion. Not for others but for himself. He say things that hurt others but unknown to others, he also bears the pain of reality. He shoulders the anger of others while making them do what needs to be done. His classmates thought he’s evil. For me, he’s a man who clenches his fist and accepts that somebody needs to be inhuman to make the others human. Am I getting anywhere here?

By the way, I'm still reading the light novel version so I might post again about this ;)
