Chapter 41

At the Bookstore. 2007/04/15 11:56 At the bookstore. We wandered around, pointing out books and making comments. … But of course, the books we were speaking about weren’t novels. We were talking about manga. All I see is a traditional, entertaining baseball manga. At the very least, I’m pretty sure it’s not moe. … And it certainly doesn’t cause me to have any fantasies. I mean, I definitely don’t fantasize over Momo’s nice body or wish that I had a sexy coach like that in high school. No way, not me… I swear! So stop pointing at the cover and smirking at me, Y-ko! And that’s all that Y-ko needs to enjoy something… That’s not what they’re supposed to be for! They’re supposed to be there to win the game! A female manager who joins to fantasize about the players. … Do they exist? …… I can only pray they don’t. But then again, ever since I learned that school libraries stock BL material, I’ve lost a lot of faith in the things I held for granted… … When I get home, I’m reading Touch and H2. Mitsuru Adachi’s female managers are the best! And she pointed at Whistle! Hey, I know that one. That really brings me back… Looks like they’ve made a special reprint edition. We made a tour around the store, babbling and arguing. … When I glanced down into the basket I was carrying, I noticed a stack of comic volumes Y-ko had slipped inside. … This is heavy. In fact, this is the first time I’ve ever used a basket in a bookstore… The answer: for moe purposes. Three words. Not complex. Well, that sounds about right. We made our way to the register. … Along the way, we passed the new releases section. …… … Y-ko and I made eye contact. We walked faster. Sped through the new releases section. … Whew. Once we had made it past, we breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, I can’t help but speed up my pace whenever I pass by My Girlfriend’s a Geek in the bookstore… I wonder if other blog writers who have been published in book form feel the same way…
