What makes my favorite Japanese novels so special?

For me, if 'The Hobbit' is my favorite fantasy story, it's special because of Bilbo Baggins. He starts as an ordinary hobbit but grows into a hero. His journey through the Misty Mountains, facing trolls, goblins and Smaug the dragon is exciting. It shows that even the smallest of us can achieve great things.

If my favorite love story is Romeo and Juliet, what makes it special is the intensity of their love. In a world full of hate between their families, their love was like a bright light. It was a love that was willing to sacrifice everything, including their lives. Their story has been told and retold for centuries, becoming an iconic representation of true love that defies all odds.

The best Japanese novels are special because of their unique cultural perspectives. For example, in 'The Tale of Genji', we get an in - depth look at the Heian court culture, from the elaborate dress to the complex social hierarchies. They also often explore complex human emotions in a nuanced way. In 'Norwegian Wood', Haruki Murakami captures the feelings of love, loss, and loneliness in a very relatable yet dreamy manner.

The characters in 'My Favorite Chaperone' make it special. The main character's journey and growth are really engaging. Also, the cultural elements add depth to the story.

It's special because it's yours. It's a story that has been created by you and your partner, with all the unique quirks and beautiful moments that are exclusive to your relationship.

One of my favorite science fiction stories is 'Ender's Game'. What makes it special is its exploration of complex themes like morality in war. Ender, a child prodigy, is trained to fight an alien race. The story makes you question the cost of victory and the nature of the enemy. It also has great character development as we see Ender grow from an innocent boy to a battle - hardened leader.

In the case of 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas', it's special because it shows that Christmas isn't about the presents and the trappings. The Grinch tries to steal Christmas from the Whos in Whoville, but he fails because the Whos still celebrate with love and joy in their hearts even without the material things. It's a powerful reminder of what the holiday is truly about.

The art in it is amazing. The black - and - white drawings with some red accents give it a really moody and atmospheric feel. It also has a great plot that keeps you hooked from start to finish. It shows the world through the eyes of a girl who is different and how she copes with that, all while having this monster - themed backdrop.

The humor. It's full of hilarious moments. For example, Kazuma's sarcastic remarks and the over - the - top actions of the other characters like Megumin's explosion spells which often lead to chaos.

The shared emotions make it special.
