I like love stories, and Fly Me to the Moon (トニカクカワイイ, Tonikaku Kawaii) is a manga series that has been turned into an anime that is currently airing this season. I really love this series which explores two strangers who suddenly got married and are slowly learning about each other and love as they live their lives together.
The protagonist is Nasa, who fell in love at first sight with Tsukasa. So much so that he got distracted and got hit by a truck. But he forced himself to his feet so that he could go after her to tell her his feeling. Tsukasa agreed to go out with him if he would marry her. Which he promptly promised. Then there was a blank of almost three years, until out of the blue, Tsukasa showed up at Nasa's door on his 18th birthday with a marriage application form.
The story gives me the warm and fuzzy feeling as the two teenagers slowly grow together. Even though they are married (technically), you see their emotional and physical relation develop in tandem. It is fun and heartwarming to see them grow.
Throughout the story, it is hinted that Tsukasa could be related to Kaguya-hime, a figure in Japanese folklore that came to Earth from the moon but eventually returned to the moon. A moon fairy or deity. I am looking forward to how this part of the story goes.
Anyway, the anime series is ongoing, the manga serialization is ongoing, and I am diligently chasing them to see how this cute couple turn out.
