The end of an Era

Just posting this from my formspring, facebook, formspring and twitter. At the very least I should make a LJ post for the series that means a lot to me. I've been following KHR for 4 years...Well technically 4 years since 2009. I'm upset by the fact that KHR just ended like that without any official announcement. They made one for Bleach nearly half a year ago, but it's still continuing. I guess I'm thankful that it had a happy conclusion rather than an inconclusive one like Shaman King or that it ended before people started complaining too much about it's direction like Bleach and Naruto. 

I’m mainly sad of the ending because it let me meet many people just as Tsuna met his friends-online, cosplay, etc. So, even if it ended, I’ll continue showing my love for it through RP and cosplay. I’ve been cosplaying Tsuna a lot. It wasn’t just a series that I watched or read for entertainment. I related to the characters…I’ve learned so much from Tsuna’s and Gokudera’s experiences and lessons. I guess that’s why khr has a special place in my heart. /Cheesy Just like how Tsuna had many experiences and met his friends, the series was pretty much parallel to my own life experiences.

Thanks to Tsuna, I've learned to be more confident, to take more risks. Because if I don't try, then I already fail. I've learned from Gokudera to take care of myself better so that I don't worry others and to rely on my friends more instead of trying to do everything by myself. There were so many more lessons that I learned from the KHR characters. I don't think I can list them all, but I guess friendship as the main theme really made me realize how lucky I am to have friends who care for me and appreciate me. I went through a really bad phase at the beginning of this year, thinking negatively about myself...But now, I'm happy about who I am...(So off topic). 

I've become so much more than I was years ago. I know so many more people, have done nearly all of the things that I want to do on my "To do before die" list.

I just need to continue working harder towards my goals just as Gokudera does. 
So yeah, even though KHR ended, the fans in the community still show their love for the series. It brought me closer to my fellow cos friends too.

Hopefully, we'll get together a mass KHR cosplay group together for a photoshoot as our tribute. 
So I won't say goodbye to the series, through RP, I can continue my imagination of what happens to the characters. *cough* TYLs...

(I was even active on LJ because of KHR---)



I first read KHR because of friends suggesting me to read it and because of my favourite artist Kurot who was a big fan of it herself. I started reading it and thought: "What is this art? It's terrible....What the heck is going on?" I initially thought that the series was just about BL since that's all I saw in fanart and the guys not really knowing that Reborn played a huge role in it. I was about to give up reading the manga and literally out it down but my friends told me to keep going so I did. Right when it got to the chapter where Gokudera got ran over by cars just to give Tsuna these white roses which turned red from his blood, I fell in love with the series and laughed so loud. I just fell in love with Gokudera's loyalty and the extremes that he would go for his Boss. Then as I continued reading it, I got converted into liking Yaoi. orz I never liked yaoi before, but KHR with its small female cast and large cast of bishounen probably converted me. But my OTP 5927 is considered more of a shoujo pairing due to the cheese and fluff.

Anyway, I also realized that I could relate to Tsuna so much that eventually, Tsuna became a part of myself...We're even the same height and blood type..I could continue ranting on and on about KHR. My favorite character has got to be Gokudera because he's the most loyal and genuine person there is for his feelings and resolve towards his Boss. Oh and I like Tsunderes. *cough* Tsuna is my next favourite but it's probably because I relate to him the most. But generally, I like most of the characters. One of the only series where I can say that I like most of the characters as I usually only have one or two.

My favourite arc...hard to say as I liked most of them. It's probably the future arc as most of the characterization developed in that arc. Favourite battle: Battle of the Storm Ring Oh man...I'm too exhausted to continue writing all of my memories and favourite characters/moments. This just goes to show that there's too much about this series because it means a lot to me.
