Koisenu Futari

I heard about this show like a week ago through a random tumblr post. A gifset of Sakuko searching the internet for the term “AroAce”. I did a double take. Theres no way, I thought. An aroace character? The words aromantic and asexual being used on screen? So I did some quick research and discovered that this is from a Japanese drama show called Koisenu Futari.

Here’s a summary of the show:

About two people who are aromantic and asexual and begin living together. Sakuko finds it difficult to live in a society which operates under the assumption that people will fall in love with each other. She meets supermarket employee Takahashi when she goes to support a “fall-in-love” campaign by her junior at work. She is startled when she hears him say that there are people who don’t fall in love. As Sakuko’s mother keeps hurrying her to get married, she decides to move out and rent an apartment with her friend but her friend backs out at the last minute after reconciling with her ex-boyfriend. Just when Sakuko is about to give up, she ends up living with Takahashi under one roof because of their similar values towards romance.

So not only does this show have an AroAce character, it is CENTERED on not one but TWO Aroace characters and their experiences and feelings as AroAces.

Do you know how rare that is!?!??!

Last night I finally found a way to watch it with English subtitles and I blew through the two episodes available when I tell you I cried. Oof. I cried no less than 3 times during episode 1 alone.

I mean look at this. Talks of amatonormativity, Sakuko’s friendship being mistaken for romantic feelings, friends ditching her for romantic relationships, constantly being told she’ll find her “fated partner”, touch aversion, and so much more.

Is this what real representation feels like? This is a little overwhelming to be honest. I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life. There has never been anything like this on tv ever. We as a community have gotten so many crumbs. A few canon ace characters. Even fewer aro characters. I can’t even name 1 aroace character. And even then their stories are side plots or they’re secondary characters or just a throwaway joke/plot device. I can count on hand the number of accurate decent representation for the aspec community on tv.

But this show. This is me. This is my experience, my feelings, my identity. Sakuko is my coming out story. Sakuko and Takahashi are living my life. I see myself on screen for the first time. I’m crying again because I’ve never know what this could feel like. I feel heard and seen. I feel accepted and normal.

A part of me still worries that the other shoe is going to drop and they’ll have Sakuko and Takahashi fall in love I’m the end and then they’ll be “normal” because that’s what always happen. Always always always. But I genuinely dont think that’s what’s going to happen and I’m ecstatic about that.

A whole show about two AroAces!!!! I’m over the moon right now. Lots of sobbing happening right now. Words dont convey the amount of happiness I feel about this.

if you have time, please watch the japanese drama 恋せぬふたり (koisenu futari; the two people who can’t fall in love) which focuses on two aroace characters

Sakuko finds it difficult to live in a society which operates under the assumption that people will fall in love with each other. She meets supermarket employee Takahashi when she goes to support a "fall-in-love" campaign by her junior at work. She is startled when she hears him say that there are people who don't fall in love. As Sakuko's mother keeps hurrying her to get married, she decides to move out and rent an apartment with her friend but her friend backs out at the last minute after reconciling with her ex-boyfriend. Just when Sakuko is about to give up, she ends up living with Takahashi under one roof because of their similar values towards romance.

How the Four sword works in LU:

Sunset pt 8 & 9 Posted at the same time b/c I figured I'd show him split in its entirety to avoid any wrong impressions on how the Four sword works in LU

So let me explain:

All the colors make up the sum of his person. The 4 are his 'true colors' in that they show what he is really like. They reveal the true nature to his character.

Four doesn’t hear separate conversations in his head. He doesn’t have separate/multiple personalities. He is not a “system”. I'm using very little from the manga (As a side note: Vio IS Link(No LxL)). Any “I” or “me” from the colors is not meant as a declaration identifying separately from his complete self.

Furthermore, while his power is multiplied by 4, He is ONE personality but the unique perspective of each color is actually different aspects of his thought process that is made audible.

Here is some future dialogue from Four: "…My opinions, my doubts, even my innermost feelings on things…The Four Sword puts all of it on full display…"

Disagreements mean Four is honestly unsure of something. The same way you could debate with yourself to go to bed on time. You are still one person, one single personality, yet here you are with a conversation debating the pros and cons of sleep.

Everything the colors say is an honest thought from Four, But depending on who says it, is a point of interest to understand Four as a character. Red is sentimental, it's no coincidence that he's the one  aggressively concerned for Twilight and the others, therefor Four deeply cares for his friends. Vio as his reasoning, is unable to counter the extreme concerns from Blue, Red and Wild, and thus surrenders to confusion. Blue, being his anger, ls lashing out at Wild and the rest of himself in this high stress situation. He lashes out at red for thinking the worst and then at Vio desperately wanting some answers from him. But Four knows anger is not the solution to anything so Blue kept silent to Green's reprimand. In other words, Four is just as distraught  as Wild. Four's Green is losing his heroic composure over himself

absolutely living for how the colors split and immediately start arguing. i love them so much holy shit

[shadowqueen1220]

Wild: “TWILIGHT CAN’T DIE!! NOBODY CAN DIE!!!”

Four: Oh no I need to calm him down. I know! I’ll Split! The shock will snap him back to his senses!

Four: *Splits*

Red: “OH MY GOD TWILIGHT’S GONNA DIE GUYS WE HAVE TO GET IN THERE SO WE CAN LISTEN TO HIS LAST WORDS!!!“

Green, Blue, and Vio:
