But I hate it when misaki called him that, it’s immature, childish and haughty.

“i am anti social and a genius“
First of all, never call yourself a genius in front of others. It makes you look stupid. True geniuses hide it till it really counts.
As for the rest of it, I’m trying to decide between taking you seriously and calling you a troll (never know with the internets).
But…
“So any tips do ypu think a forced kiss would get her like in the anime’s?“
This has some probability of getting it across. But depending on her character, it likely has a higher probability of getting you slapped/punched =P

Tips? Be a gentlemen? Tsunderes aren’t just shy, they also take things seriously and with willpower. If she really does like you, you’ll get the opportunity. It just won’t happen often, so don’t ruin it by being rude =P

Some people consider it trope-using…
I consider it as realistic characterization-ing…
Unfortunately, Usui will always be an alien. There’s no way to describe him otherwise =P

Honestly, the problem used to be that every time I blog too much, I’d lose my ‘candor’ and start focusing on the audience too much.
Do. Not. Want. (I try not to blog for traffick =P)

Well said. I don’t know if you will return to blogging more frequently or not, but I always enjoyed your candor. Thanks for sharing.

Hey i like a girl in real life she's a tsundere type so here's the deal i'm the only one who noticed her true and fake smile i've red her soul in her eyes i wanted to help her but he treats the help offer like a joke but i really like her so do you think she doesnt notice me since i act like an idiot and social guy even when i am anti social and a genius? But that wasnt the point i know she has feelings for me but she was not sure i'n sure about her feelings why? 1. We're on a play and we need to dance i asked her if it's ok to touch her waist she smiled and said no but tommorrow you can. 2. I made her smile i noticed her true smile back there 3. She always bullies me when she notice me but she kept's looking at me 4. I offered a chocolate but she declines after she wispered that she would try to get some from me she asked me if i could give her many i've said all right i'll buy you some later and give it to you tomorrow. Well about that she doesnt remember it but i gave it to her. She once again smiles with her fake smile but i looked in her eyes it it was crying but she shows a happy face then laters bullies me again. So any tips do ypu think a forced kiss would get her like in the anime's?

One thing I forgot: Grasshopper in Japanese is “Kirigirisu”, which sounds like “Kiriki”

As much as I know, the meaning of the names goes like that:
– Ryouko Ookami is the wolf from “The Little Red Riding Hood” — Ookami/Ookami-san means “wolf/Mr. wolf”.
– Ringo Akai is Little Red Riding Hood — Ringo=Apple, Akai=Red. Her name refers to her color (red) and her poisonous personality !spoiler — and her relation to Snow White as her half-sister!
– Ryoushi Morino is the Hunter from “The Little Red Riding Hood” — Ryoushi means “Hunter”.
– Liszt Kiriki is the Grasshopper from “The Ant and the Grasshopper” — I’m not so sure about him, but his last name sounds like “Cricket”.
– Alice Kiriki is the Ant from “The Ant and the Grasshopper” — Ali/Ari (Japanese accent) means “Ant” and her hair looks like she has two antennea.
– Taro Urashima is the fisherman from “Urashima Taro” — the fisherman’s name is Taro Urashima.
– Otohime Ryugu is the Princess Otohime/the Little Turtle from “Urashima Taro” — Otohima means “Princess” and is the name of the princess from the fairy tale, and Ryugu is the name of the Emperor god of the sea Ryujin, Otohime’s father. Otohime is also refered to the fairy tale “The Tortoise and the Hare” with Mimi Usami as the Hare.
– Otsu Tsurugaya is the Crane from “The Crane Maiden” — Tsuru means “Crane”.
– Majolica le fay is a combination bitween the Fairy Godmother and the sorceress Morgan le Fay.

Hope it helps ^^

Honestly, the English version is pretty bad. The plotline doesn’t connect, and the translation isn’t great. It sounds like more of a mechanical structure rather than a piece of work. I found myself having a hard time following the story and remaining interested.
Anime was much better. ;p
