↓ TranscriptWren and Sam talk in the hallway outside anime club.
WREN: Alright, what’s the deal here?
SAM: I’m allowed to have interests! I just joined a club, so what?
WREN: Interests that you totally hide from your friends? A club in which the discovery of your presence causes you to turn bright pink?
SAM: Fine! I was embarrassed, ok? Mystery solved.
WREN: I don’t get it. This doesn’t seem like your thing at all.
SAM: It’s not, really – I just – sigh.
SAM: When I was young, I didn’t know anything about lesbians or queer people. I knew I was gay, but I thought I was such a freak. Manga was the first place I saw girls who loved other girls, and it just seemed so, normal. I went to an anime club meeting because… I guess because I never talked about it with anyone.
SAM: And I came back for this meeting because they were going to watch Princess Mononoke tonight.
WREN: Ooo, I might stay for that, actually.

I would have loved you forever if you had added Tomoyo! She can be so underrated in the, “Lesbians in Manga” community. Plus, she was just so, (I can’t think of another word for it) wholesome. She was the first one I ever identified with it. It wasn’t so sexy or angsty, just, “I love you more than anything, so I’m going to do everything I can to make you happy, even if that means never being with you and making sure you never find out my true feeling. But please forgive me if I fan girl over you every once in awile. I love you too much to contain myself” Even now I find I relate best to her. Okay, rant over.
I love Princess Mononoke! But the dvd costs $28.95 from the store 🙁
Actually, I’ve not really watched much Anime or Manga. But I have enjoyed the Ghibli I have seen (Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, Porco Rosso, The Cat Returns). Keep meaning to find more, but I’m currently concentrating on my Kaiju collection.
