I was about to say that I had class envy, but I think that's not quite the word for envying your class. *g*

My experience with classical Japanese was getting dropped mid-year into a college bungo course for native speakers, only because my adviser taught classical Japanese. It was a pretty brutal sink-or-swim situation. (Sadly, McGill didn't offer Classical Japanese either year I was there and at a level to take it.)

Shimizu Reiko's Kaguya Hime manga is an amazing mishmash of science fiction melodrama and Kaguya-hime mythology, with organ-donor clones and bonus badass heroine. I'd recommend it more if I actually understood much of it.
