The secret wasn't actually about how much it sucks, but for what it's worth - I did also think that this manga sucks! I totally do not understand what anyone sees in it at all! (Sometimes I wonder if the people recommending it have even read it... apparently the anime is quite a bit different. Not seen it but I can only believe it must be better.) I trudged through it because people kept assuring me it's sooo awesome and sweet and funny and wonderful and yet also deep and insightful and... blahblahblah.

(I honestly laugh when people call this manga "deep". I found all the dark and angsty stuff so incredibly trite and, yes, thoroughly boring. It was like the most mindless and unoriginal soap opera dreck ever.)

I thought it started off mediocre and got worse, but all the gushing praise kept me believing it must get better. Eventually. Surely... By the time I was so far through it I figured that no, it never was going to, I thought I might as well just finish the damned thing... And then there was the epilogue, which reached a whole new level of horrible. Spare yourself!

Or, you know, maybe all the people recommending it are right, the manga is good and you're the one who is wrong.

Whatever, me and OP can chill in our hater camp with all the better manga.

Oh, anime and manga fans. Never change.

Thanks to implying tastes are absolute and and OP and othellia have the absolute truth.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-05 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Except the anon saying the manga was good and they were wrong was doing the exact same thing.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-05 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
They weren't saying anyone was wrong for liking it. In fact, othellia even mentioned how different people have different tastes. But you? You suggested they're objectively wrong for disliking it. Like a typical butthurt anime or manga fan.

Yeah -- I've read the summaries and can understand how it might be the kind of thing that appeals to some people, but if this is "deep and insightful," then so is The Bold and the Beautiful.
