DAM! - I need you.
I have loved my senpai.
This is actually a true story that happened to me recently...
Kyun! It's Cathy Cat! Today we gotta go and ask the boys of Japan
if they would like to fall in love like in a Manga love story
And if so, what kind of scenario they always wanted to try and have in real life.
Guys don't forget to subscribe for more videos from Ask Japanese and let's go and ask Japanese boys
Do you want to have love scenario like in a Manga love story or not really?
I wouldn't mind it happening once.
You are there.
Why do you want a manga love scenario?
Why do I want to have a manga love scenario?
Well because they are things that you can't do in real life, only in manga.
What scenario do you like?
I have one!
The scenario where you bump into each other at the corner of the street and fall in love.
It's a common trope in manga, I want to do that at least once.
Run, bump into each other. At that time we just apologise.
But then we meet somewhere else and remember each other from that corner.
Next time you meet in your classroom and shout "You're the one from this morning!"
Yes and from that point we start to get closer to each other.
We squabble sometimes but our relationship develops.
Nice one.
Stuff like that gives you butterflies.
Does reading manga give you heart flutters?
I do actually sometimes read girls' manga.
Reading it, makes you want to fall in love.
I get that pulling feeling in my chest.
I also empathize with the main character "Why did he date that other girl instead!!"
There is an old manga called Blue Spring Ride.
That manga got me into reading girl's manga.
It was my first girls' manga and I will always remember it.
What's nice about girls' manga?
One of my primary school girl friends recommended me to read this.
And from that point I read it and got into it.
The stories are so over-exaggerated.
I like it. It's really far from reality.
Reading that is fun.
Boys don't get butterflies from reading boy manga usually.
But you get that from girls' manga, that's why I started liking them.
Have you learned anything from reading them?
I think it helped me understand a girl's heart a bit better.
Have you come up with a manga love scenario?
A manga love scenario?
A scenario where you fall in love with the girl next door.
The girl that lives right next to you.
We both open our windows on the second floor and lend each other items.
Or where you can walk from your roof to her roof?
You open the window and she is in the house next to you.
Our parents are friends and she comes to wake me up in the morning.
That would be the best.
That really gives butterflies.
You want a manga love story. Why?
I wasn't much in class.
I wish I could go back to high-school and have a romantic love story.
Is there a scenario, you always wanted to try.
Not in particular. Just walking home after school together.
And then chat on the way back.
Is there a great anime love confession fitting for that situation.
Confess his feelings to me behind the school gym.
That's a good one.
Rather than confessing my feelings, I would like her to confess to me.
Nice nice.
What's your name? - Koudai
Since before... I have loved you senpai.
Thank you.... Let's go out.
Next one is... "I don't need an exaggerated love scenario" Why?
I don't really read manga and similar.
You're the serious kind.
That's part of it too.
The more I read the more unrealistic it feels in my opinion.
I prefer a normal, realistic love story.
What love scenario is good for you? What's "normal"?
Things like today, going to the beach or a summer festival.
Going to a theme park or such. Normal things.
As long as we can do normal things, it will be ok.
Will you be the leader in your relationship?
If possible. But I will listen to her opinion.
If we can confide in each other we can make it happen.
You said you don't need a manga love story. Why?
It's exaggerated. It's not real.
What real scenario is good for you?
A real love scenario?
Just go hang out together.
Normal? Where would you go?
Shopping. Things like that. Going to the cinema.
There are things in the manga, that you can only do in that realm.
I want to create a manga love scenario.
I want to fall in love like in a Manga scenario.
I want my heart to beat faster. - You want to give a girls a kabedon.
- KABEDON! -I actually want a girl to kabedon me against a wall.
A reversed kabedon? - Have her do the kabedon.
Instead of having to pin a girl against the wall, I want a girl to do that.
She doesn't have to put her hand against the wall, her ellbow is good too.
What do you want her to say then? - What shall she say?
Yeah after pinning you against the wall. - What should she say?
"Look at me!"
- Not like that. - "I prefer fried potatoes."
- Let's use that.
BAM! I need you.
I want you I need you I love you.
You want a manga love scenario. What scenario would you like to have?
You walk normally and the bump into a girl.
I say sorry and pick up her items.
I hand the item over to her.
That will be our first meeting.
But then we meet again somewhere else.
And since we keep meeting by chance so much, I start believing she is my destiny.
We start having food together.
A love that begins from a dropped item.
If that was real, that would be nice.
At the start we don't have any connections...
But then we become lovers.
But our first meeting was just by bumping into each other.
And picking up an item. Having a love start from there would be fun.
I don't know in particular, but I really want to go on a Disney date.
I want to go to Disney.
What will be the first and last attraction that you will go on at Disney?
The first and last? That's difficult.
First, I would go to Aquatopia at Disney Sea.
Because we will get wet. Getting wet together is great for a laugh.
First and attraction when you get wet and then?
Last I would go to Tawa Shine. The view is good.
It's a surprisingly good place.
Since you both ticked yes, why do you want to have a manga love scenario.
Not connected to the sea?
Something that you see a lot.
There are two scenarios that happened a lot.
In the bookstore or library your hands touch.
Another one is two people bumping into each other at a corner.
That's a simple one too.
But hey we just bumped into each other, didn't we?
Ah....
Oh!
Ok let's talk later.
We might meet again at another place by accident.
At that time we know it's destiny.
Where did you read that library scenario?
I didn't get this out of a manga but saw it in a show that was about
"If this happened to a man, what would he do?"
And also what would the girl do then.
They did a feature on that on TV and I liked it.
What's your perfect Manga scenario?
Come on, you seem to want to say something.
Wait, you have a story, don't you?
You did that recently! - You did what?
I really think that was destiny.
Ok this is a real story.
I had my driver's license suspended.
So he can't drive for a set amount of time.
There was a girl who worked with me in the same company.
We got along well.
We really got along well but in a month time the quit working there.
So I got my driver's license suspended for a while
At that place... there is an option to take a one day seminar
to reduce the suspension to 30 days.
When I went to that class, I happened to meet her there again.
But that's not the end of it!
It continues? - It so does!
So we started talking and said we would go for drinks some time.
I still had her SNS details, from the time when she worked at the company.
I said I would message her.
So after the seminar I messaged her on the LINE app.
But it turned out her LINE app details had changed in the meantime.
So even though I invited her for drinks, I couldn't do it.
I was like AAAAAH!
So you lost your second chance! - And she is so cute you see!
After not seeing her for 4 years. I thought she was my destiny.
But then! Last week!
What what?
I went to the LalaPort shopping mall.
I met here there again by surprise!!!
And then I could finally ask her correct contact details!
And we are going for dinner soon.
Congratulations!!! - That's like a real manga story.
I met her again. I think she might be my destiny.
But from our chat conversations... she doesn't seem to see me that way.
Really, not at all interested that way.
But anyways we are going for dinner.
So I will try my best then.
Please do your best!
I head such a story of destiny.
Is there a manga love scenario you want to try out?
There is one.
When a boy walks past a cute girl, we follow her with our eyes.
Like "Wow!" We look back at her.
What I want to happen is...
to have the girl look back at me "wow he is cute!"
That will never happen!
And then our eyes meet.
I wish that would happen this summer.
- Impossible! - The chance is not 0%.
Give me at least a 1% chance of that happening.
Shall we try it out?
Can you hold this?
And there you go.
That's it!!!
This moment right now!
That was the best thing ever!
I think you have a chance of that happening. Don't give up on it yet!
Those were all our questions. Thank you.
Okay manga love scenario yes or no?
The boys actually voted for yes!
And only 3 people for no.
So we have 1...5....10 votes actually.
If you are wondering this is the Sei no Ji (Kanji symbol).
It's like we do it with four stripes and then have the fifth one come across.
This symbol is actually 5 so it's easier for us to see how many votes we have.
Manga love story. Japanese boys said yes and one of the scenarios is that you bump into someone...
A total stranger, and then you see her later again...
then you maybe see her again... and you feel it might be destiny that I bump into her
It's nice to see, Japanese boys read shojo manga, which are aimed at girls.
They just enjoy the romance even though it's totally unrealistic and blown out of proportion.
A couple of people said no, it's too unrealistic,
I just wanna have a normal thing, normal love story.
On the Yes side, many people said, "A couple of things I haven't done yet and would
have liked to do when I was still in school. Interesting to see.
So guys, what manga love scenario do you want? Do you want one?
If so, what kind of love story can you imagine you always wanted?
Is it a girl falling from the sky or ... totally romantic...
