My Love Story Giveaway!

I’m very partial to Cardcaptor Sakura.
My favorite love story is Vampire knight. I loved how it was put together and how there was many surprising things that happened in it. Vampire knight got way better as the story went along. Just like most stories happen.
Favorite literary love story: Fingersmith
Favorite historical love story: Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok
Favorite Disney love story: Beauty and the Beast
Favorite TV love story: X-Files
Favorite manga love story: Blood Alone
The Time-Traveller’s Wife. Poignant as hell.
Its always been hard for me to pick one, so here are a few of my favorites that come to mind from various sub-genres:
Comedy: Roxanne, When Harry Met Sally
Classic: Casblanca, Some Like It Hot, The Apartment, Vertigo, Notorious
Neo-Classic: The Graduate, Harold and Maude
Arty: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Punch Drunk Love
Foreign: Amelie, Breathless
Modern: Ghost, The English Patient, Titanic
Favorite novel (love story): Jane Eyre
Favorite manga (love story): Fruits Basket (the entire story is all about different kinds of love, really, from family love to friendship love to romantic love to even controlling love)
My favorite love story from a licensed manga is Skip Beat! (Ren & Kyoko). Both of them have issues to work through first, when they will eventually learn to accept and love themselves for who they are, before they can be together as a couple.
For unlicensed manga, its Koi Dano Ai Dano (Tsubaki Haru & Naedoko Kanoko). The main male lead falls in love with the oblivious female lead first, but he doesn’t want to burden her with a love confession (since they’re best friends), so he’s patiently trying to get her to realize him as a man and hoping she’ll love him from her own volition.
The first thing that I always think of is the movie Amelie. It’s so sweet and charming!
