Scanlation: Hanairo (Fusanosuke Inariya artbook)

My English scanlation of Fusanosuke Inariya's artbook "Hanairo" (2012).

Contains colour art from Hyakujitsu no Bara, Hari no Hana, and other series'. Obviously this was heavy on the scanning and light on the translation, but I did translate her comments and her notes at the end about all the illustrations.

Click here or here to get it.

(Check out my master post of MR scanlations and links at the top of my page. Enjoy! ^^)

So much of Taki and Klaus' interactions pre-japan are soooo tender and sweet and domestic. It's all 'Klaus cooking taki's favorite foods' 'Klaus and Taki washing up together' 'Klaus defending Taki from people who want to take advantage of his naivete/cultural ignorance' 'Klaus telling Taki cute stories from his childhood' 'Sex that focuses on Taki's pleasure.'

But once they get to Japan all of that disappears, and the only way he has left to show his love is Violence. Hurting others or hurting Taki, is that 'Love'? Of course not, he knows that, but it's all he has left. Because of war but also because they're no longer equals in Japan. Taki is nobility but more than that he's practically a living saint. And Klaus is just a badly trained foreign dog. So he can kill Enemies (good violence (tm)) or he can attack Taki (bad violence (tm)) but he can never approach Taki as an equal, as a mutual lover. Every touch is violence because it comes from an inferior.

'Being your sword is the only thing I have to be proud of.'

Maiden Rose gross medical imagery below the cut

Ignore everything else I've said up until now. Real fans know that Maiden Rose is ACTUALLY about sexualizing THIS ⬆️

losing my mind thinking about the parallels between taki being stripped of his humanity through having to bear the weight of being the flower of the house of reizen and klaus being stripped of his humanity via taking on the duty and the honour of being taki's knight/sword, and how young and tragically naive they were in entrusting the bond of master/knight with the safekeeping of their love, even if they thought they knew all the risks, how ironic is it that these roles that require upholding a by all means unattainable idea of purity and virtue and selfless duty would be the very thing that'd taint the tenderness and the sweetness between them and turn it into something violent, because virtue without the often antithetical intricacies of humanity is an impossibility at best and bitter suffering and death at worst, god can somebody just hold my hand cos i-
