So, I'm sitting here, reading an article about a film called "I Wait for the Moment That You Love Me" movie that came out recently. I read the synopsis, and it dawned on me: These are literal children. What do they know about love? I often wonder what high school was like for manga-Ka's who write in this particular genre (would it be right to call it a genre?)

Ytlaya posted:There are a number of reasons for this, but one element to keep in mind is that for whatever reason (possibly because both Junior and High school are 3 years as opposed to the 2/4 years common in America) Middle School is often given more focus in Japan when it comes to fiction (high school-related fiction and romance is also common in the West, so that isn't something unique to Japan). College also doesn't have the same cultural association as it does in the US (in the sense of being this fun time when you expand your horizons, etc), so high/middle school sort of fills the roll that a lot of college-related fiction does in the US. I feel like this somewhat plays a role in Japanese Pop Culture's absolutely insane obsession with youth (even moreso than western society), where you're considered "old" if youre in your 30s
