I had the
Beyond the Clouds movie on my HD for a long time and was too scared to watch it
. Eventually I started it and then skipped to the end, lol. It looked like it would have been okay, but a bit depressing, but I ended up just deleting it.
Truthfully, whenever I start a new romance anime I am a bit anxious.
As for manga... it's even worse, because you never really know. I get really
really depressed whenever the girl is raped or otherwise abused in a manga. And that kind of thing seems to happen a lot. One manga I recently read, called Bitter Virgin, I felt reasonably safe... Because of the word "virgin" in the title I figured at least there wasn't the whole sexually abused as a child background (something annoyingly common in manga and a lot of books I read). Well, it so happens the
high school girl hadn't only been raped frequently by her step father, but had gotten pregnant twice, once having an abortion and the other time putting up the baby for adoption... at the age of 14. God I was so annoyed, its like
tell me before I start reading!
