This is my long story (and first post here) about how Full Moon changed me. It
has both manga and anime spoilers, so watch out.
I watched the anime first. It was about mid-March of 2007 when I started
watching it. The day was Saturday. I devoured thirteen episodes the first day,
and fourteen more the next (aka more than halfway done the show) I was seriously
addicted to the characters, songs, and plot, and spread it out between days. My
favorite song at that time was Eternal Snow. I cried at the death of Eichi, even
though I already knew he was dead (thanks, spoilers!) and liked Takuto better. I
cried at the end, too. My favorite song quickly became New Future. It still is,
even a year later. It's just so reflecting and happy. All of the full moon songs
are on my iPod, though... at least 2 versions of each song! I felt bad for
Meroko. She finally gave up her selfishness, and then she wasn't even allowed to
be with her loves. It was so sad. But she seemed happy anyways. I cried for the
maturity of Meroko. Meroko was finally strong.
So I became obsessed with getting my hands on those books. I bought the first 2
in May of 07, and practically memorized them, and also forced all of my friends
to read them. In June, I got books 3 and 4, devouring those as well. That was a
real cliffhanger at the end of book 4, so in July I got book 5. I love that
cover art! In the manga, my fave pairings was Izumi x Mitsuki and Wakaouji x
Ooshige, but I loved them all. Except for Mitsuki x Eichi.
For my birthday, in August, I got the last 2. I read the sixth one, but it took
me over a month to pick number 7 up. I knew that once I read it, the magical
Full Moon wo Sagashite would truly be over. By the time I finally let myself
read the last chapter, it was a month after that.
When I finished, it was one in the morning. I was touched. Up until that point,
I really didn't like Eichi. I thought he gave Mitsuki a twisted reality and
heart. But at that last scene, I truly loved him, for the first time ever. I
cried, but I smiled though my tears. Like Eichi. I realized at that moment that
Full Moon had changed me. I used to be so dark and depressed. But I realized
that I would live on, like Mitsuki. After I finished, I got up to close my
window, and I looked up...

It was a full moon.
