What a Real Fan Is

As you might have noticed, there are still no updates about Nabari to check on. There has been a little delay, but nothing we can do about it, right? So the only thing left for us is to wait.

That doesn't mean that I do not go around looking for spoilers (OMG the spoilers...) about upcoming chapters, forums about people's thoughts, and, you know, general comments about what they like about Nabari no Ou. This is where I was shocked about what I read.

It seems that after the death of Yoite, one of the most favorite characters of Nabari (if not, THE favorite), a lot of fans have turned their backs towards the manga, because they felt betrayed at his/her death. Like it was not supposed to happen or something. Well for one, we knew that Yoite was going to die (practically said it every time he/she appeared). Second, based on the anime, Miharu would not use the Shinra Banshou to recover Yoite from the Kira. So death and/or disappearance of Yoite was a definitive in the manga. I suppose thought that the shocking way Yoite died in the manga is what stupefied people, and made them either leave the manga or just go very into denial (me is there).

As a real fan of Yoite though, it is NOT recommendable to abandon the manga.

How would we ever get to know, if the manga is canceled, if Yoite ever has the opportunity of coming back or not? We must keep holding on! No matter the angst of Miharu, or the silence of Yukimi. We must keep holding on with the hopes that maybe at one point everybody will remember Yoite (and probably Miharu will go crazy, and bring him/her back from the death XD), or, you know, probably just walk around the corner and say "Zup!" (yes, denial).

Come on people! Why would the mangaka ever bother of creating such an amazing character only to kill it? She has even stated that the most important characters of Nabari are Miharu AND Yoite. I do believe that Yoite still has a very important role in the story even if he/she has already died. Probably still is within the Shinra Banshou, just like Asahi was in the anime. And, knowing Miharu, he wouldn't really let go of the feeling of forgetting someone until he gets to the bottom of it.

That Yoite will appear, I absolutely believe so. Probably the only thing that keeps me from never reading Nabari too. So, as real Yoite fans too, you MUST also keep holding on to the manga. We must make this manga reach its real end (the one the mangaka intended), to really ever know what has happened to Yoite in the end.

THAT is what a real fan is.

So please! Keep believing (or be in denial, whatever suits you)!

Thank you for reading. See you all next time!

Oh! Another thing. Do not forget to feed my fishes! Yoite is specially a hungry one (along with Sebastian, but that one is plain meanie). Thank you!
