constantly tiptoeing the line between “Saiki k is a gag manga and a lot the gag is that it explores and exaggerates typical anime tropes” and “its still very earnest and there are clearly parts that are meant to be taken seriously”

like you can almost always tell bc Asou is a very talented writer and can convey tone in his story really well, but sometimes the stuff he throws in as a joke makes u go O_O

#Like I still cannot tell what the tone of that Nendou time loop chapter was #it didnt seem tonally as dire as the inarguably serious moments #But it also didn’t really seem like it was meant to be funny. Like there weren’t many *if any* jokes.#Its like he was just randomly like “hey what if i did something a little silly and twisted”#And then he did that #I mean im obsessed with that chapter so whatever he did it worked? i think?#Gaaaah i need to find interviews with this dude I’m becoming obsessed with his writing #The more you reread the manga the more small things you notice about the way he creates characters and stories #And like little nuances and shit #Its really cool idk if this has happened with an author/story ive liked before
