My Thoughts

I didn't read the description of this anime correctly and i thought it was about a girl with the goal to become a wedding planner...it was a bit different.

This anime take a very uncomfortable subject and make it feel very real, I've come across anime that touch on the incest subject but without any feeling or shame, its just i want to have sex with you and i don't care that your my brother/sister.

This anime takes the issue very seriously and you can feel the torment of the characters, they know it isn't right and they try to deal with and move on with the feelings they feel towards each other.

Its really tragic, and i did feel sorry for the characters...the ending was OK, i wish it gave what the ultimate decision was, it did show a few options for example moving away together, but i didn't feel satisfied that it had come to a conclusion.

Besides the incest her age also made me feel very uncomfortable.

Overall i really enjoyed the anime, it came across very real and makes you think about the subject in a serious light. The other characters acted the way i felt they should and no one took the subject lightly.

The anime didn't really look that great and the music very forgettable. But for the story alone 8/10

Bout of Books Day 3, The Boat Builder's Bed - Kris Pearson

The Boat Builders Bed - Amazon UK - FREE!!


With the title of this book I was wondering if I was hormonal when I bought it...turns out its FREE!! I will give anything a go, especially if its free

So we have Sophie who is another interior designer, starting her own business she's trying to make a life for her and her daughter. Rafe meets her when her shop sign hits his car, he ends up hiring her to do some designs on his house.

I sort of liked the story, it was sweet and there are actual problems rather than just jealousy (I wouldn't say it was good...but also no bad), so in that way there is more to it.
Sometimes it was confusing I think some things were mixed up and I had to re-read some parts over as I didn't really know what they were talking about.
I didn't really feel the love between the characters, I wasn't into either of them...I wasn't wishing them harm or anything, but just felt a bit blah.
Give it props for trying I guess. It was a quick read, I will wake up tomorrow and forget I ever read it nothing worth your time really, very predictable.
