Octave manga2/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Setsuko is probably my favorite character in Octave, she has a very calm and cool headed demeanor and I was instantly charmed by her. Which brings me to the characters.īoth Yukino and Setsuko make a great pair and when they are together they complement each other well. It gives the characters the ability to grow from out of a many of these unfortunate experiences. There is a lot of drama in this story and some of the time it can come across as being overtly melodramatic but for the most part it feels grounded. It's not used in a exploitative way and it displays the need the two feel for each other. The sex, which is prevalent throughout the manga is very passionate yet restrained. There is a aching tenderness to it that is quite wonderful. The romance in Octave feels organic, and believable without any trite cliche's or nonsense. There is a lot of weighty themes present in Octave depression, loneliness, judgment, jealousy, it's all present here. Octave, written by Akiyama Haru proves to be the very thing that I was looking for. Sometimes though it gets kind of repetitive and I find myself wanting something a little more realistic, something with more bite to it. This isn't a bad thing in fact it is one reason I like the genre as much as I do. Most of the time they are free from the unfortunate hardships that often accompany the simple act of romantically pursing the same sex. The girls are free to pursue romance and love for the sake of love without a care to spare. Usually, it is set in a all girls high school with nary a male face to be seen. With yuri themed media it seems that a lot of it simply revolves around cute girls being cute. Her life takes a turn though when she becomes involved with the beautiful Iwai Setsuko. All she wants is to regain some of her lost pride and find a boyfriend. Now at eighteen years of age she decides to return to Tokyo to be a talent manager. ![]() Yukino, unable to endure the rumors and slander was forced to drop out. She left the hustle and bustle of Tokyo back to her quiet hometown, back to a high school that did not understand and assumed too much. Unfortunately for her, that moment in the spotlight turned out to be exactly that, and both the group and her dreams proved to be short lived. Yukino Miyashita, had a quick taste of that fame that so many hunger for when she joined the idol group She'sN. Countless lives have been spent in pursuit of that aim, with a precious few actually reaching that mantle. Who doesn't dream of greatness, of achieving fame, wealth, and adoration? The dream of being someone, to be admired and known for what you have achieved. If they end up doing so be sure to honor me like the hero I have always been. Hopefully, the Fuwa Gods will not strike me down for this transgression. (For a change of pace I have decided to review a manga this time around. To Be Someone (Didn't We Have a Nice Time) ![]()
