Alrighty. Just completed Golden Time vol 3 by Takemiya Yuyuko, the author of Toradora. This is probably as good as it gets in the light novel world, with descriptions of student life so vivid that it makes me feel physical pangs of loneliness and nostalgia of youth long lost. Not that I'm old now, but reading this there's a definite sense of having moved on from ever being able to approach a relationship in that way again. Wonder if there's another author out there as good at evoking the emotion of first love in a written scene.

Fourth novel should be out next month, and with it the release of the first manga volume. Kind of hoping it'll get dramatized eventually, even if it could be summarized as advanced love soap.
