Arioto Novel

[Geri Cutcher]

Ariotoand the 13th Hour merges heartfelt adventure with beautiful illustrations to engage even the most challenged readers. Having worked with a variety of learners over the past twelve years, Michael found that one of the biggest challenges students face is finding a book that is as approachable as it is exciting.

From outline to storyboard, Michael came up with Arioto and the 13th Hour as the perfect combination of a middle-grade adventure interlaced with elements of a graphic novel. The words danced across pages, and tip-toed around corners as the joy of reading came to life.

Michael typed up the ideas and sent them in the dark of night over mountains and valleys to deliver the manuscript to the artist monk Tony Wisneske. Over the course of two years, the quest to engage readers of all abilities was manifested.

At first, Sorata somehow managed to catch her and hold her in his arms. But soon his knees gave out and they fell backwards to the ground, still caught in their embrace, right in the middle of the church.

A. The ending of volume 8. Sorata is made to choose between Nanami and Mashiro. After being a dickhead and ignoring Mashiro completely for the first 5/6ths of the novel, he decides that he loves her and they start dating as of volume 9.

A. Jin and Misaki remain happily married. Rita is still ineffectually chasing after Ryuunosuke, even in the epilogue set four years after the main timeline. Their relationships are completely static. There is no development.

Looking at Mashiro like this now, he thought, was all the proof he needed to believe that this was a new beginning. He wanted to hold those emotions to heart. And he wanted her to know all about these feelings that had assailed him when they reunited. Hopefully, he was not alone in this.

Anime sucks monkey dicks, just like author of blog.

Funny that he never mentions that some scenes with Aoyama were anime original while many scenes with Mashiro were scrapped because director is Aoyamafag.

Right. Plus, there are other scenes in the LN which tend to portray Nanami as a more violent tsundere type. She insults Sorata more often, especially in the early volumes. She was portrayed to be more likable in the anime.

My guess is that the author himself was starting to feel like he had lost control over where the story was going. I think he had realised that in terms of its message about finding your dream and so on, he had already said what he wanted to say in earlier volumes. He introduced more romantic subplots and conflicts to keep the story interesting, but with the final volume, not many of these things were resolved. I think he wanted the series to just end.

and even the boy who liked nanami SUPPORTED them like to Sorata: Here bro come with me where instead he could just go by his own to help her but no he actually helped their relationship because SORATA was the one NANAMI called in the time of her need not him so he understood that and helped them even more and despite all of this how the hell you brush of Nanami like that how? HOW?

As a side note, you said that the ending of the anime should be the beginning, but upon reading this I realized that the end of anime signifies the end of a beginning. In this case, the narrative becomes a lot more sensible. Considering that I am almost done with the anime, I might as well finish it someday.

Oh, wow. Hearing that made me appreciate the anime quite a lot more. I had a feeling that that those scenes about failure were drawn from life, but I had no idea Mari Okada had such a personal connection to the whole project. Thanks for that!

When Sorata rejected Nanami, they had excellent closure, where Sorata deliberately sought her out before Mashiro in order to specifically thank her for her friendship and support. Nanami leaving Sakurasou was portrayed anticlimactically, which I think was the point, since everything between her and Sorata had already been said.

This was probably the only really bad thing about the novel ending. And no, they never talked once. Sorata mentions that he was too busy with college, work and pursuing his dream to talk to her even once.

I think the writer was using the same pattern in most of the characters romance story, for example jin x misaki, chihiro x kazuto they were all separated for quite some time in-search for their dream.

Question:

how does nanami leave? in the anime, she went to osaka to get her parents to let her continue voice acting, and she comes back to sakurasou. what happens in the light novel? when was she rejected and when did she leave sakurasou and also how did she leave? was it like he rejected her and the next day or end of school term/year she prepares to leave, and he thanks her n stuff, then she gets the parents financial support? expwain. what do u mean she goes on a bus? when was that? when she went to osaka to tell her parents she wants to continue the voice acting?

Her moving out has nothing to do directly with her confession to Sorata. That just happened to be the time when the school decided to kick her out of the dorm. But she did decide that she needed a change and had no objections. Moving out was her way of moving on from being rejected.

BTW, glad you spoiled the ending of this LN for me (you gained a reader for your blog!). I was so frustrated (as you can see) from what happened in this story because I had similar issues in the creative industry with the genius/talent theme. It hit home hard for me and I was pleasantly surprised how well the anime dramatized the theme up until episode 21-22 where there was very little payoff for all that hard work.

BTW I was wondering about the whole autism thing and I asked my sister about it (without telling her it was regarding a character in an anime). So I explained how Mashiro behaves and acts etc etc and she said it may be Asperger Syndrome (Autism Spectrum). So I had a look into it and yes I think Mashiro to some degree may have Asperger Syndrome, but then again like you said Sakurasou is fiction, so who knows.

The images are from the Japanese light novel. You can find a collection of the light novel images uploaded at Baka-Tsuki under each volume heading: -tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Sakurasou_no_Pet_na_Kanojo

Sakuraso no shit is so cheesy with shitty characters, shitty fan service, horribly written female lead that is basically just a shamless pandering and not actually a real character with personality and what not, forced melodrama and the worst incompetent MC I have ever seen, Sorata is a complete faggot.

if they would make an season 2 for the anime they could use some fillers like the progress of the 4 years they were separated, like their succeeds and failures. even tough i know they dont got enough money to make it probably, sorry for my poor english, i am 14 years old and live in netherlands :P

I just finished the anime and started to look for season 2 of it and I saw this spoiler thanks and no thanks i guess .

it literally gave me mixture of feelings because I really dont like bad endings even though they still ended up together in the end

I felt like Why cant you just overcome your own problems with her

Realy idk what to think anymoree *sigh* this feels

im really confused to what i said too lol

After reading that Sorata gets into a relationship with Mashiro, I was disappointed because, in my opinion, Nanami would have been better than Mashiro. Hearing that she got expelled from Sakurasou made me feel depressed.

Now, I am by no means experienced in anime, manga or Japanese light novel, so forgive me if I may be clueless to some aspects. When I first watched this anime, I was under the impression that it was a romance anime, primarily. However, as the series went on, it dawned on me that the focus of the anime was more around the Sakurasou, especially considering the graduation day drama. It disheartens me to learn that not much emphasis was put into maintaining that vision.

What I do like about the anime is that it was never, in my mind, completely predictable, except perhaps for the Mashiro and Sorata relationship aspect. The theme of life not being fair is very prevalent throughout the anime. We see all the characters fail when a generic plot might have them succeed. In fact, I feel that the anime needed all of them to fail by the end of the series. There would be no profound message to tell if they had succeeded. The message that was being built up was, to me, that life is not just about ourselves but the people around us. The entire speech at graduation was about the fact that we do what we do because of the people that support us.

To me, the theme of the anime, the development of the characters, the way audiences felt should happen, it seemed to me that Nanami and Sorata SHOULD have ended together, but by the fact that the anime was titled after Mashiro, it was forced into creating an ending that is to me, very unsatisfactory.

That to me, is a better conclusion for Nanami. She needs someone. She needs happiness. She needs support. To be neglected in such a way and separated is just painful for me. If she is closed out this way, I would be happy.

I do agree with you some extent as I just power watched the series haha. I found that the greater focus on growth and life gave me a more personal message, and I think actually lent to giving the relationships a much stronger secondary plot.

What I do really agree with though (and touched on this in my comment) I think that Nanami is a strong and valuable character and that she really does deserve some level of closure rather than dropping her like in the manga. Personally I would have liked to see her warming to the other friend Diachi. Sort of starting to accept Sorata and Mahiro while opening her eyes. I dont think that they should out right say anything about them being an item at all. (not even internally) Instead perhaps being a little more friendly and maybe even a small blush? Done just right so that it is slightly up for our own imagination but we know she is happy and things are looking up for her.
