Questions are good things. They are there to get to know others and to find the common ground with each other, with the people we want to love. Well, I would think that the biggest thing I need to learn is to love myself. I think at least. I like lists, I make lists, mainly about anime and manga that I want to read and watch. And sometimes about American books too. My life does revolve around things that I consume. And I do not know if I am fine with that. I would like to fancy myself that I like philosophy, but in truth, I like the idea of philosophy. In the sense, philosophy means the love of knowledge, because we cannot know everything.

The Story Of An Ogre And... was written by Kuze Gaku and it is published on Pixiv in 2016.

Score: 10/10
Trivia: [Spoiler: I can't stop myself from writing about this story. It turns out that the chained up ogre, is someone who brings bad luck and anything that gets close to him dies. The girl, who is talking with him seemingly fearless of his appearance is shown to be a flower that withered away under his curse.

He is so lonely that the only one who he could share his thoughts with is a flower that fearlessly grows in the cave where he is locked away.]
[Spoiler: It is amazing how the author manages to show the loneliness of someone locked away in hits us right where it hurts. It is almost something that couldn't be described in words. This is why I read manga, finding something like this. This is a masterpiece.]
