I have, sadly, started to read manga again. It clears my mind off of my worries except for this one. I have currently been reading Ghost Hunt by Fuuyumi Ono. It's about a group of people hunting for ghosts and spirits, curses and all that good stuff. They do exorcisms which makes me think what happens if I meet a ghost? It's been on my mind the whole week. So first of all, I HATE horror. I HATE it because it gives me these dreams which would scare me to the edge of insanity for the next 3-4 months. I don't know why but my very imaginative mind just decides to hallucinate and drive me until I become tainted with fear. But the funny thing it even though I hate horror and ghost stories, i read ghost hunt. Yes I've been having horrible dreams that i cannot wash way. (>.<)
But because it was interesting and pretty well drawn, I've been reading it. I enjoy it as well as torturer myself to a point near death. My imagination is killing me. But that just lets you know that the book has the affect it wanted on me. In this book, I've learned a lot as well. For example, i have learned that there are certain tales in Japan which people would like to avoid and some puns. I have also learned how some myths from all over the world have been created due to me not knowing and doing extra research for the answers.
One very important lesson that the author wanted to get across is, make you choice when you are sure to do it. Don't make promises light-heartedly if that person is going to pass away and the most important is DON'T BREAK THE RULES! In some parts, one of the characters would explain to the main character that; rules are there to keep you safe, rules are there so that you don't make mistakes and get hurt, rule come form a person's past experience which they don't want another person to get hurt. Rules are there to keep you from walking the wrong path and doing the wrong thing." he would say. But then the character ends with a yelling bubble telling her to "FOLLOW THE DA*M RULES! DO YOU WANT TO DIE?"
Well, I just have to say that the character is right but doesn't need to tell her if she wants to die or not. O.o
Overall, this was a very interesting book. Even though I don not like horror, this book has made me very interesting and will get me thinking for a longer time to come.
Edit: I feel like the main character over this week off due to the fact I had to take my uncle around New York for famous attractions. I've made a total on average of 7 mistakes per a day and especially with the subway. Maybe this is how Mai, the main character feels everytime she makes a dreaded mistake destined to be scolded for. Going to Boston has just made the problem 3 times worst due to the fact that I, like Mai, was not fully informed about the trip and is to be blamed for many misunderstandings.
