Once again, I sink myself in the world of manga. As I'm writng this blog I'm rereading a manga name "Vampire Knight".
There are many things that make a mange alike a fairy tale. The most important one, in my opinion at least, is they are both inspired by reality. I don't mean that there is actual such perfect world but isn't a imperfect world that could create such magic place. If we all cover in perfection, we would never realize what we have. nethertheless, because our world is not perfect we dream about a better place and expess it in a fairy tale or a manga (in this case).
However, just because manga come from the same wish as fairy tale that they are alike. I myself enjoy reading manga but I can't say the same about fairy tale. A fairy tale is where everything is perfect, from the characters to the place. And perfection is the thing I hate most in the world. It's naive and sinful at the same time. It come from a normal desire of us and destroy us. whatever, I'm not talking about it right now. The point here is manga is nothing like fairy tale at this point, manga is imperfect.
I can imagine you ask with open eyes why I would like to read it if it is not perfect. Nonsense yet it make a lot of good sense. Let me ask you do you still believe in fairy when you grow up??? No. That is understoodable. Who would believe there is a girl as pure as Snowwhite and Cinderella. But a girl like Toru in "Fruit Basket" we can believe in. After all, she was raise to be the person she is and Yuuki in "Vampire knight" too she has someone to depend on. Moreover, even thought they are good there is still something in them that is not completely good. That dark part that they have to try so hard to overcome is what make there statement stronger than that of any fairy tale could make. And that's why they make me believe in a better world.
(I'm running out of time ^_^. Next time I'm gonna talk about bad characters who sometime I liked even better the good one.
