“Why does Takemoto needs to find himself? Yourself is yourself, right?”.

When one know one’s self, it seems simple, but not easy to get there.

Now I’m curious. Will it be like

Yamato: Honoka, do you want to marry me?
Suzuka: Alright, now cut the crap. This is my goddamn show. So get the fuck out of here Honoka!!!11
Yamato: Uhm, uh…Suzuka..eh..do you want to marry me?
Suzuka: *ROTFL* Are you stupid?

Honoka fanboys will disperse soon enough. Ep19 gives Honoka fanboys a good reminder why the show is called Suzuka in the first place. Honoka is the worst character in the series, generic, boring, yawn inducing, very typical stock character with all the same tired cliches. Oh yeah, for that so called Honoka “disciple”, cut the crap, a fanboy is a fanboy. Just have some balls or guts to admit you’re a fanboy, don’t try to use other words to cover your fanboyism.

David, you don’t have to agree with me if you actually don’t like Takemoto as a character. I understand that there are people who probably don’t understand why Takemoto doesn’t know what he wants to do. I mean even Morita was wondering “Why does Takemoto needs to find himself? Yourself is yourself, right?”. But that’s just shows how different people can be. I personally envy people who knows what they want to do and knows how to achieve it. I think everyone aspires to become that kind of person. But that is why Takemoto resonates so much for me and some H&C viewers because even though he doesn’t know what he wants to do, he actively tries to find it. Having said that, I do realise that his problem probably feels like a waste of time to those who already know what they want to do in their life.

I would recommend H&C manga because not only it continues all of the unresolved plot/romantic threads from the anime but also because it delves further into some other characters like Morita and his brother, Kaoru. Now, I’m not sure if I’ve said this before or not but I always get the impression that people see H&C as either romantic story or a comedy story. I think H&C are neither. It has elements of both romance and comedy to attract its viewers but at its core it’s a story about a group of people growing up and finding out what is important in their life and that includes personal fulfillment, love and friendship. I think the focus about Ayu’s relationship is not so much on the relationship itself but more on her personal development as a person. It’s more about letting go and the difficulty of doing so when you’ve been so attached to a person for so long.
