Hi everyone! I'm Konekotama-shi; a 19-year old college sudent, soon to turn 20. My hobbies are learning about (and appreciating) different cultures, reading manga (I'm a big-time Fudanshi, so yaoi is my guilty pleasure) and watching anime; amongst others. I enjoy works of fiction that possess deep, multi-faceted characters that feel 3-Dimensional and real, as well as intricate, multi-layered storylines, that often utilise metaphors in the form of the characters and events within the story to address philosophical subjects that are relevant to understanding the human condition.

I like rating stories in terms of the aforementioned criterion and I believe that excellent storywriting, script-writing (in anime) is conveyed, when the author is able to use the tool of fiction and fantasy to tell a story that addresses philsophical subjects. The characters must feel as though they're real people and we must be able to empathise with them and be able to understand them completely. Furthermore, I find that further proof of a writer's skill is displatyed, when they are able to make me generate these kind of emotional responses towards the villains, anti-villains and other morally gray characters.

So far, I have found that the stories that meet these criteria are as follows:

1) Umineko no Naku koro ni by Ryukishi07

2) Natsume Yuujinchou by Midorikawa Yuki

3) Les Mise rables: Shoujo Cosette (directed by) Sakurai Hiroaki

4) Fullmetal Alchemist Franchise by Arakawa Hiromu

5) Inuyasha Franchise by Takahashi Rumiko

6) Magi by Ohtaka Shinobu

7) Jigoku Shoujo by Etou Miyuki
