I finished reading chapter 84 of Kaichou wa Maid-sama this morning. I wanted to read chapter 85 but it will take a while until they release the English translation, so I just scanned through the raw version and searched for the plot. It turns out that chapter is already the finale. For the past months, I have been watching anime online and reading some manga in my phone. Once I reach the last episode/chapter, I start feeling sad and ask myself "Now what?" Even though it only takes me a few days (weeks if I'm reading) to finishing watching a series, there is this feeling of attachment. After scanning through chapter 85, I came to realize that everything comes to an end.
Endings usually give a happy or sad feeling but the only way to get over it is to move forward, just like school. I will be graduating in a few months and graduation might be the most emotional event, not only in my college life but my OBMC life. Being in the school for 14 years has developed me into loving the environment. Despite the changes and complaints my classmates & I had throughout those years, I am not ashamed to say that I love the school and I am thankful I ended up there when I transferred from Canada. However, I have to let it go even though it hurts to leave. Reminiscing on the good days is alright, but dwelling on it won't be good for anyone.
I would like to think of my life as a manga. A whole series is divided into volumes with a certain number of chapters in each of them. As you read each chapter, you begin to understand the story. You remember a few scenes, which was shown in the previous chapter or volume, and be amazed by the changes of the characters as you are on the way to the ending. Once you are done reading, you may have a tendency to go back to a few chapters to reminisce on those great moments in the story.
Funny how a manga made me think deeply that it lead me into creating a blog post. I guess, I take simple things too deeply sometimes.
