#Im in my okarun era

[poisoned-pearls]

I have a list of "straight people I respect" and I think I should add momo and okarun

editors note: the list is more of a joke as I have not actually made the list yet. But it exists in my mind

YES ABSOLUTELY. Dude they’re so good

okarun consistently respects momo’s privacy and never sexualizes her. Their first ever real encounter she was stuck in her underwear and was almost assaulted and not only does he tweak the fuck out to protect her (a stranger that was nice to him) he then immediately hands her his own clothes to help her not be basically naked. he also refers to her SOLELY as miss ayase, or Ayase-San, as respect. When he transforms his personality changes a bit, but he is STILL more respectful to her then anyone else, calling her momo-Chan while everybody else just is their first name. The most DEROGATORY thing he’s ever called her is BABE and that was more of a “ur a babe” thing, rather then as like. Baby. ITS ALSO NOT JUST MOMO. HE RESPECTS EVERY WOMAN HE COMES ACROSS. That man has never ONCE looked at any woman inappropriately and it SHOWS

he ALWAYS makes an effort to communicate (they both do) and there’s this one scene-

and while it’s a little bit of that “misunderstanding happens and one won’t talk” it’s also REASONABLE AND RESOLVED LIKE A DAY LATER. Aira WAS trying to kiss him when she saw them.

He then IMMEDIATELY apologizes for touching her

Jumps in front of her to save her from a shot and then IMMEDIATELY pulls back and apologizes again. It’s this man’s first instinct to keep her safe AGAIN and AGAIN. He’s so sweet dude I love okarun #1 okarun defender

also- momo is gyaru! She is feisty and an ACTUAL character with depth and they have a great dynamic. AND okarun gets along with her friends. Her friends think of him as her bf. They’ve jumped in multiple times to be like “NU UH SHES GOT OKARUN-“

And hes tbe first person to defend her, EVERY time

HE WAS SO EXCITED TO HAVE A FRIEND HE DIDNT EVEN CONSIDER ROMANTIC ATTRACTION. HE DOESNT EVEN LOOK AT OTHER GIRLS THIS MAN IS HER GUARD DOG. AND HES WILLING TO SCRAP UP FOR SOMEONE CALLING HER A SLUT

Momos got such a good heart for him too. Like one of their first moments apart she’s just ITCHING to talk to him abt HIS interests. They’ve spent an entire lunch period looking for the other. They’ve been tossed into a bad situation and they’ve been locked in since. She’s helping him find his goddamn balls and it’s so funny bc she acts like a friend would first

These guys are weirdos and it’s great. They’re friends first and like. Actual real people. It’s great

(Also fair warning for anyone interested in the show, first ep has some near sexual assault that can be a lot for some people, which is reasonable. And overall has themes around consent and compassion, but overall in my opinion does a good enough job in the story of desexualizing bodies that when characters end up like. In their underwear it’s either a moment to show someone caring, not an issue, or used for comedy)

Also manga spoilers of more things I like under the cut

This is one of my favorite moments. That man’s abt to go crazy. He was gonna tweak out on him but he immediately went to covering momo and making sure she’s okay…. Whahhh

Grabs and protects her again. This whole arc has moments where the ONLY thing he cares abt is her

I love momo too she’s hilarious. “Gimme a proper confession and also don’t cheat on me before I can get back to normal size. THEN we can kiss”

ARAUAAAAGHH

This whole fight this man is protecting her first and willingly being her shield. This man met one woman who was nice to him (he chose right) and has been defending her like his life depends on it since
