“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” This quote is widely attributed to Albert Einstein who was obviously thinking about me and Hirao Auri at the time.

I keep reading work by Hirao Auri-sensei and expecting to not want to strangle him. Why? Why do I keep doing this to myself? Augh!

Wabi-Sabi Hirao Auri Collected Works (わびさび 平尾アウリ作品集) is a collection of all of Hirao-sensei’s interests and obsessions (school girls, idols, schoolgirls who are idols) with a frisson of Yuri and a handful of “STFU, there, it’s Yuri, okay? Now go away!” leaving one with a tidy little volume of no one particularly to care about, lots of hand holding, a kiss and a sad memory or two. I say “or two” because I am sad I won’t actually get to strangle the author. ^_^

Ratings:

Overall- 5

Not as full of nihilism and despair as Manga no Tsukurikata, but not as full of anyone I give a hoot about as Oshi ga Budokan Ittekuretara Shinu.

I really have to question my decision in regards to giving him so many chances to not make me crazy.
