Tohru Honda
Apparently, my Things that Annoy Wolverine is too negative, so I thought about doing a page of things that Wolverine likes. But that would probably be the smallest page on the internet, so instead I have submitted for your consideration the lead character from popular shojo manga "Fruits Basket", the irrepressible Miss Tohru Honda.
Frequently, and my view unjustly, maligned for being so fucking upbeat about everything in the whole world, I imagine she's the evil-universe twin of Wolverine. So with that in mind, think about what might make her happy:
- Bunnies hopping through daisy-filled meadows.
- Young couples holding hands.
- Strolling down sun-kissed country lanes.
- A black man dancing in a New York street.
- Heart-shaped chocolates.
- Laughing at something that no one else seems to find amusing.
- A dog leaping for a frisbee on a beach.
- Jumping into a big pool filled with plastic balls.
- Musicals.

- Finishing something really awkward or annoying that you had to do.
- The pleasing coolness of the reverse side of the pillow.
- Someone realising that he was wrong and you were right.
