Kare Kano!

Just finished reading the last 12 volumes of Kare Kano. Wow, that was a wild ride. And I had forgotten so much of it that there are parts where I didn't know what was happening next! I love it when that happens, though it rarely does since I revisit old favorites so often. I mean, I just finished rewatching the entire Nodame anime and live action (thinking about reading the manga but it's getting a bit overkill). I wonder why I've neglected Kare Kano for so long when I seriously loved it back in high school?

But, I bought my first volume of Kare Kano (back when I couldn't find any more scanlations and was basically forced to) in college. At Kinokuniya of all places so it must have been during my very first visit there... *sigh* So long ago.

And now I have volumes 1-7 to look forward to! ^^ I originally read volumes 1-9 as scanlations so I never bothered to buy them. But since I had lost gift card money to spend (thanks Brittney and Stephanie! Sorry it took me this long to use your gifts!), I was able to go and get them. Hopefully they'll arrive at the end of this week, early next week, and I can marathon reading those chapters as well. ^^

Still, this has made me so nostalgic for Kare Kano. Thinking back on it, I have so many memories associated with it...It makes me want to dig out my copies of the Kare Kano anime and rewatch them. But I have the earlier volumes coming soon and I don't want to spoil myself (even though I've already seen all the episodes and read those volumes before)...What should I do? I'm torn...

I am glad I kept those DVDs though since I had thought about selling them. I bought them in high school as a set, the actual licensed DVDs of the series (my god, I was so into this series, I actually went legit for them!) and my first big purchase online. Thinking back on it, I felt so guilty and wrong for spending so much money on such a silly extravagence... It was only $90 but I never spent money back then...And certainly nothing that was over $20 (that was a lot to me back in high school). Or bought things online... Actually, now that I think about it, anime/manga got me to do ALL those things and opened my eyes to downloading newer and exciting things. I discovered eBay because of anime. o.O Somehow, I'm getting the feeling that I was negatively influenced... :\

I think I want to wallow in more Kare Kano love... DVDs it is! I have no willpower... Or patience... OTL
