ahegao and arousal — ljh

summary: jihoon just wanted to have a nice night watching anime with you, how was he supposed to know the show he picked was a hentai?

tags: smut (minors dni!) warnings: explicit unprotected sex, hentai, ji is kind of a perv, creampies, spanking, scratching, finger sucking, pinning, multiple orgasms wc: 3.6k an: ANON I SCREAMED WHEN I READ THIS LIKE AHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU i made up my own anime plot for this hehe but watched wotakoi while writing bc office romance

orignal request: woozi and reader are at a sleepover and are both anime geeks but what’s playing is not anime and more hentai

Akira, long time secretary at Hayashi Corp, spends her days doing errands for her boss, Hiroshi, and keeping the office running. The mundane pace of her life is suddenly thrown for a loop when the new data analyst, Kaito, is hired.

That’s what the description of the show Jihoon picked said. It sounded like a cute little work place, slice of life romance anime at the time of Jihoon scrolling through what show to watch with you tonight. Oh how wrong he was.

Last week you hunted Jihoon down and insisted that it has been far too long since you two had a day to spend hanging out just you two, so Jihoon invited you over for an all night anime marathon. It’s no secret that you two are giant anime buffs, and so it was difficult for Jihoon to find something that both of you have yet to see. So when he came across this new anime he thought it was the perfect pick. It had an 8.7 review and tropes that Jihoon knows you enjoy, making it the perfect show to watch with you.

The show started out fine, a bit cliche but overall carrying the same cute aesthetic of all romance animes. Sure there were a few throw away fanservice bits, but Jihoon didn’t think anything of it. Until he did.

Jihoon’s ears burn as he tries to figure out where to look. He can’t look at you, that would just make him even more flustered, but staring at the TV is out of the option. Even as Jihoon stares at the wall, he can’t escape the lewd sounds playing out of the speakers. He can’t exactly tell what the characters are saying due to it being in Japanese, but from the excessive moaning and slick sounds, he can interpret it.

The show was going so well, to the point where the two of you were starting to root for a male lead, and then all of a sudden Akira is being cornered in an empty meeting room by Hiroshi (who is the wrong male lead, by the way) and their clothes are flying off and then Jihoon had to stop watching.

His curiosity gets the best of him though and Jihoon glances at the TV, just to take a quick peak, only to get a full view of an animated cock being slid into an exaggeratingly wet pussy (why is it uncensored!?). She cries out as the subtitles read, “He’s so big!~”. The image changes to the bouncing of Akira’s unnaturally large tits as Hiroshi starts to thrust into her. Above her tits is the image of her face, screwed up into a classic hentai ahegao. 

Now, Jihoon is well…a man, and men have certain urges that need to be taken care of every once in a while, and Jihoon often finds himself looking to certain content to help out those urges. He of course carries shame for it and would never actually admit that he watches hentai (a lot), but it's a fact that’s hard to hide when his body is reacting to the scene the way it normally would if he was watching it alone.

You haven’t spoken a single word since the scene started, and Jihoon just prays to god that you’re not looking at him or his lap.

Now in theory, Jihoon could just turn the TV off but then that would force both of you to face the reality that you have now consumed porn together and Jihoon doesn’t think he can handle that. Just thinking about it makes Jihoon’s dick twitch even harder.

Jihoon takes a shallow breath and finally risks a glance over at you. He’s shocked at the sight. Your bottom lip is placed between your teeth, being chewed up as you stare intently at the screen. Your knees are pulled to your chest and there’s a slight gleam in your eye as you watch the scene. Is it possible that you’re…enjoying this?

Jihoon allows himself to get a better look at you, as it’s clear you’re solely focused on the show. He watches as you take a shaky breath, your thighs squeezing together as well. The sight drives Jihoon just slightly insane, and it doesn’t help you’re in the skimpiest pair of sleep shorts and a tank top, sans a bra. 

You and Jihoon have been friends for a while. You two met coincidentally at an anime convention, You were cosplaying as one of his favorite characters and Jihoon made sure to get your socials. You were interested in his own socials though, noticing the OST covers he uploaded occasionally. When it was revealed you two are from the same area, you two quickly became close. Now, nearly six years later, you’re one of Jihoon’s closest friends.

The only thing is, Jihoon has a fat, massive crush on you. He has for years now. It doesn’t help that the characters you cosplay the most are either some of Jihoon’s favorites or characters who are the biggest victims of fanservice behaviors. One time you cosplayed a character who fell under both categories and that night Jihoon shamefully jerked off to the pictures you sent to him.

And now you’re here, dressed in revealing clothes, sitting on Jihoon’s couch, invested in the porn scene playing on the TV. 

Jihoon eyes travel down from your face to your chest, where your tank top does a poor job of hiding your cleavage. He can see the way your chest swells with each shuddered breath. It’s clear now that you’re very into this, and Jihoon wonders for a brief second how wet your panties are.

Jihoon then quickly chides himself, looking back at the wall and away from you. That’s where his gaze stays until the scene ends. Once the show goes back to being a seemingly innocent romance anime, Jihoon finally allows himself to glance over at you. To his surprise you’re staring back at him.

“I, uh, can’t believe she’d hook up with Hiroshi,” you say, breaking the silence between you two. “Clearly Kaito is the better choice.”

Jihoon coughs, clearing his throat. “Y-yeah. It’s also kinda weird since he’s her boss…”

The conversation fizzles out quickly after that and you and Jihoon go back to watching the TV in awkward silence. Jihoon can still feel the ache in his cock as he watches the characters fumble around each other. 

Jihoon can barely even focus on the show, too busy trying to think about anything that will get his boner to go down. He’s not sure what’s happening on screen when all of a sudden you start squealing.

“Oh my god Jihoon, it's happening!” You launch yourself across the couch to grab at Jihoon’s arm. He’s startled for a moment, his skin burning where your fingers dig into his flesh. He glances at the TV to see Kaito walking Akira back to her home.

You don’t let go of Jihoon as you settle down next to him, your body now pressed up against him rather than across the couch. God Jihoon swears his cock has never been so hard in his life. He’s sure the pillow placed over his lap is anything but subtle.

You’re not looking at Jihoon though, too invested in the conversation the two characters are having. Jihoon glances down at you, only to realize that was a bad choice as he’s now staring straight down your shirt at your cleavage. For a moment Jihoon thinks about how he wouldn’t mind seeing how your boobs bounce while he fucks you.

Jihoon’s still focused on you solely, when you gasp. He glances at you and then the screen to see the two characters posed in a kabedon. It doesn’t take long for the two to start making out and Jihoon can already anticipate what’s going to happen next. Your fingers dig into Jihoon’s arm before you realize what you’re actually doing. You go to pull your hand back, but you stop halfway through, your fingers just barely ghosting Jihoon’s arm.

“We can just skip this scene,” Jihoon finally says, seeing the internal conflict going on in your mind. He moves to reach for the remote but you stop him.

“N-no, it’s okay,” you tell him, in a voice that’s smaller than normal. “U-unless you don’t want to!”

“No, it’s uh, it’s fine,” Jihoon says. You give a slight nod, not moving your hand away.

You and Jihoon quiet down once more, staring at the TV, both of your cheeks warm. On screen Kaito is bending Akira over the counter, his cock pulled out and rubbing against her slit. Jihoon hears the labored breath you take, as your fingers slightly tighten on his arm.

Jihoon flits his eyes to glance at you, noticing the intrigued look back on your face. His fingers twitch on his lap as he stares down at your thighs, pushed together. The lewd sounds of moans and squelches fill the living room and Jihoon is five seconds away from getting up to go relieve himself in his bathroom.

Jihoon knows you. If something goes wrong you’ll both just brush it off and forgive and forget it. Fuck it.

Jihoon reaches out and slides his hand over your thigh. You jump a bit and Jihoon goes to pull back, but you stop him.

“No! You’re uh-, you’re fine.”

Jihoon just nods, trying to pretend like his mind isn’t reeling right now. His thumb brushes over your bare thigh, caressing the skin.

Your thighs are soft and he does his best not to full on grope the fat there. Just touching you like this has Jihoon’s cock leaking desperately in his boxers and he thinks about how good it would feel to touch in other ways as well. The swell of your breasts under his palms, his plump lips against your tender neck, his hard cock nestled inside of you.

Jihoon lets his mind wander too much, and the last image makes him squeeze your thigh hard, causing you to let out a moan.

“Fuck, Jihoon,” you mutter.

“I’m so sorry!” Jihoon shouts, quickly pulling his hand away. You’re quicker though, grabbing his hand and placing it on your upper thigh, his fingers just barely brushing against your crotch. Jihoon’s mouth goes dry.

“F-finish what you started, Ji,” you tell him, your voice thick with lust.

Jihoon gulps and nods. He moves his fingers to press against you harder and you automatically spread your thighs to give him more room. Jihoon can already feel how wet you are and he stifles a groan. You let out broken gasps as Jihoon continues to rub at your clit through your shorts. 

Jihoon can’t take his eyes off you, staring at you the way the swell of your breasts heaves with each breath. Jihoon shifts his position to face you so he can reach out his free hand. It hovers over your chest for a moment before he finally pushes forward, grasping your boob in his palm. Your breath stutters before you release a low moan. Jihoon can feel the clench of your thighs around his hand. 

Your pussy is dripping now, soaking straight through your panties and shorts. Jihoon’s cock is also leaking, begging to be slid into your warm walls. His cock strains against his shorts, like it’s trying to break free from the confines itself.

Jihoon groans and pulls his hands off of you and you whine. You’re not left untouched for too long though as Jihoon hooks his fingers into your waistband and starts to pull your shorts down. You lift your hips to help him out, pulling your top off your body as well. Even though your clothes did little to cover you up, seeing you fully naked drives Jihoon insane.

He stares at your slick pussy and he nearly drops to his knees then, thinking about how heavenly it would be to be in between your thighs, but his dick twitches a little too hard and he knows he has to get inside of you now. Jihoon pushes his shorts down his legs and his cock finally springs free.

“Jihoon please,” you whine and Jihoon groans. He sits back down on the couch and grabs you, pulling you onto his lap. You look pretty, perched on Jihoon’s thick, pale thighs. Your pussy rubs up against his cock and Jihoon can feel your arousal spread across his length, lubing it up.

“S-shit,” Jihoon curses. Your fingers grasp his shoulders tightly, your fingernails just starting to dig in, and the slight sting goes straight to Jihoon’s cock.

“C’mon Hoonie,” you mumble. “Just fuck me.”

That’s all Jihoon needs to properly line himself up and slam right into you. You whine loudly at the feeling as Jihoon slides right into you, your cunt already so need that there’s no resistance. Just as Jihoon expected, your walls are soft and warm as you clench down around him.

Jihoon grasps your waists, slowly guiding you up his length before pulling you back down. Jihoon can see you biting down on your lip as you roll your hips against him. He reaches up and gently pulls your lip out from between your teeth with his thumb. Before Jihoon can tell you he wants to hear your moans, your tongue darts out and licks at the pad of his thumb before you lean down and take his whole thumb into your mouth.

Jihoon’s hips buck up into you as you suck on his thumb, your tongue swirling around it. You look down at him with your sultry eyes and for a moment Jihoon wonders if you’ve wanted him just a long as he’s wanted you.

You gradually speed up your pace until you’re fully fucking yourself on Jihoon’s cock, fast and hard. You pop your mouth off of Jihoon’s thumb, finally letting your moans flow free. To Jihoon, you sound like an angel singing. As you bounce in his lap Jihoon can’t help but stare at your tits as they bounce in front of his face. He realizes that if he stares for too much longer, he’s going to cum too soon.

He leans forward and starts to pepper kissings along your neck and chest. His fingers trail up your torso until they come to your tits. He palms at your chest, hard and mean, desperate to feel you up as much as he can.

Your fingernails dig into Jihoon’s shoulders even harder, slightly dragging up and scratching him. Jihoon would never consider himself a masochist but the pain burns delightfully and suddenly he wants you to tear up his whole back.

“F-fuck, Ji~” you whine. “Your cock feels suh’good.”

Your cunt squeezes Jihoon’s cock, so close to milking him for all that he’s worth. Jihoon doesn’t bother taking his mouth off of you, just humming against your collarbone. Jihoon’s body feels like it’s burning up, the feel of your soft skin pressed against him, your warm cunt wrapped around his aching cock. If he doesn’t cum soon he’s sure that he’ll implode.

Jihoon reaches between your body and snags his finger on your clit, rubbing at the bud rapidly to get you closer to your orgasm. You gasp and whine as your hips get more frantic, breaking your steady pace.

“G-gonna cum,” you say between broken breaths. You lean down and capture Jihoon in a kiss. The feeling of your lips against his is new and Jihoon already can’t get enough of it. Jihoon pushes his tongue between your lips, licking into your mouth to taste you better.

You move your hands up to cup his face, tugging him into you even harder as your body trembles in his grip. Jihoon can feel your walls fluttering around him as you reach your high. That’s all the signal Jihoon needs to let go as well, finally letting himself spill right into your cunt. Your hips soon come to a stop and lift up off of him as your body slumps down onto his.

“You know,” you mumble into his neck, your fingers now playing with the hair on his nape, “I’ve always kind of fantasized about this happening.”

“W-what?” Jihoon asks, his mind already dizzy from his orgasm and now your words aren’t helping.

“You’re hot Ji. Like, I’ve never met an anime nerd as buff as you. You’re also just like…really nice and caring? I don’t know, ever since we met a small part of me has always wanted to fuck you.”

“Shit,” Jihoon groans. “You’re saying that we could have been fucking for years now? Baby I don’t think you know how badly your cosplays turn me on.” 

“You’re gonna turn me on again,” you murmur.

“Good,” Jihoon responds. “Because I still have one more round in me.” Even after cumming, Jihoon’s cock is still hard and he easily flips you around and presses you down against the couch. Your face is now buried in the cushions as Jihoon pulls your hips up to meet his.

“S-shit,” you gasp.

Jihoon pushes his thumb against your folds, rubbing at them for a moment before pulling one to the side. Your cunt is shiny from your arousal and as Jihoon forced your entrance open, some of his cum from earlier starts to spill out. Jihoon is tempted to finger fuck it back into you, but it’s not too much of a loss when he can just give you fresh load.

Jihoon’s tip rubs up against your slit, teasing you. You wiggle your hips slightly, begging for him to put it in. Luckily, Jihoon is just as desperate as you are and pushes his hips forward, his tip easily sliding into you.

You just had Jihoon inside of you and yet the feeling of his cock rubbing up against your walls as you moaning and drooling on the couch cushions.

“So good for me,” Jihoon mutters to himself. “Fuck how do you feel ever better the second time.”

Jihoon’s hips slam into yours, rough and slow, making each stroke intentional. His grip on your hips is tight, making sure you stay in place as he fucks into you.

As much as Jihoon loves staring at your tits bouncing in his face, the view from the back is just as good. He can’t help himself as he lifts his hand up, letting his palm smack against your ass as he brings his hand back down. He watches satisfied as your ass recoils, the fat jiggling deliciously. He repeats this action a few more times until he’s sure your ass is warm and stinging from the hits.

“H-hoonie, faster, please,” you beg. You push your hips back, trying to force Jihoon to pick up his speed.

“You need more, baby?” Jihoon coos teasingly. “Want my cock to pound your little pussy?”

“Yes,” you sob out. “Need you to fuck me hard.”

“Okay baby, your wish is my command.” Like a switch flipped, Jihoon starts to plow into you, the head of his cock ramming into your g-spot with each thrust.

Jihoon slides his hand up your spine, his fingers coming up to cup around the back of your neck, and he pushes down, holding you against the couch. It’s dirty, your ass sticking up in the air as your face is squished against the cushion, but that just gets Jihoon going even more.

“You look so pretty like this,” Jihoon tells you. “Back arched just for me.”

You can’t even respond, just letting out a spew of babbles and moans. Your fingers grip onto the edge of the cushion and Jihoon wonders if it’s second nature for you to dig your nails into something when being fucked. He’ll have to test that another time, your nails raking over his back as he fucks the life out you.

For now he’ll stick to railing you into tomorrow.

“S’close,” you slur. “P-please. Need to cum.”

“Aww, you need to come? Okay baby, cream all over my cock.”

Jihoon continues to abuse your sweet spot with his cock as your body tense under him. Your cunt clenches down tight into a vice grip as you whine high pitched and loud. Jihoon rubs at your hip as you orgasm. It isn’t until you fall spineless to the couch that Jihoon allows himself to fill you up once more. He milks himself dry inside of you, making sure you’re stuffed full. Jihoon knows you’re on birth control (you’ve complained about the change in hormones to him before) but the knowledge that Jihoon pumped you full with two loads still drives him slightly insane.

Jihoon slides out of you and slumps down on the couch as well. You shuffle around so you can cuddle up into his side and press a soft kiss to his jaw.

“This was fun,” you mumble and Jihoon laughs.

“Yeah…we should do it again.”

You grin. “We should.”

Before Jihoon can say anything else, you’re both caught off guard by a loud shout coming from the TV. You both whip your heads back to the screen, it seems in the midst of your own fun you both forgot what started it all.

A smirk crosses your face as you look at Jihoon. “You know, for my next convention maybe I should dress as Akira. I think I have a blazer sitting around in my closet somewhere…”

The thought alone sends Jihoon’s mind reeling. The thought of you dressed up in a tight blazer and short skirt, knowing that the character is from a hentai. He’s not sure he would be able to keep his hands off of you.

“And who knows, maybe you could dress up as Kaito with me.” You send a wink Jihoon’s way and it’s enough to have Jihoon’s dick twitching to life a third time.

Oh yeah. He definitely won’t be able to keep his hands off of you, but something in Jihoon tells him you won’t mind too much.

Their crush doesn't mind their clothes

[ HEADCANONS ] [ Chihiro, Kou ] [ Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc ] [ Wotakoi Love is hard for otakus ]

I guess im writing a carefree pan!reader...idk anyways I love both of them, both are soooo cute and amazing, I love my shy beans ❤️❤️❤️

Chihiro Fujisaki

Chihiro isn't the most distrustful person but still he is pretty insecure and shy, his personality is already pretty soft and his past bad experiences just make him more introvert, not wanting to open up so easily with anyone

Still it doesn't take much time before Chihiro starts to feel more comfortable with you and even call you his friend, and when he does he becomes pretty clingy and friendly, is always kind and polite but when Chihiro knows that he can trust you he becomes more sweet and friendly

It take a while for him to develop romantic feelings towards you and he doesn't notice them right away but still it doesn't take him much time to understand his feelings, he noticed how his heartbeat goes faster, his cheeks become really warm or how he feels a little shy and anxious around you, but is a different type of anxiety, it isn't like when he was scare for being attacked by someone, is a kind of excitment for see you and yet nervousness

Chihiro is really nervous about having a crush, and not just the normal nervousness people feel while having a crush, he is really nervous that you won't like him, let alone his true self. Even if you were always kind and gentle with him Chihiro is completely scare about your reaction when you find out the truth about him not being a girl

Also, it isn't just his clothes and facade what make him nervous, is his weakness, even if he is sure that you will never laugh at him for dressing up as a girl or being so weak the memories of his past doesn't leave him alone, specially now that he has a crush he is completely scare that you will react bad if he ever tell you the truth or that he could bring you problems if people find out his secret, laughing at you for dating some weirdo

Chihiro want to become stronger before try to confess his feelings, he wants to be able to win the strength and courage to tell you the truth directly, and, hopefuly, you will like his true self

Chihiro is to scare about telling you the truth that is more likely that you will find out by accident (specially since he had never tell anyone about it), either by a bad timing you catch him going to the boys bathroom or dressing rooms or somehow manage to see his school credential where it specify his gender, no matter how it happen the moment it happen Chihiro is imediatly in panic, tears already falling from his eyes and before you could say anything he is apologizing, invaded by the embarrasment and shame, he doesn't run away just because he doesn't have the strength to do so

You trying to comfort him it confuses him a little and yet it makes him feel less nervous about the whole thing, however he won't be able to calm down until you clarify that is okay, he doesn't have to feel ashame or anything, you don't judge him for the way he dress or for saying that he is a girl, when you reasure him he finally manage to stop crying (at least enough to speak) he still wants to explain to you why he does, he feel like he own you an explanation even if you don't need it but he won't fully calm down until let him explain

He tells you everything about the bullying he suffered while being a child and how he decided to act as a girl to avoid it, and when you say that you undestand and will support him if this is what he wants, even promising to keep the secret his heart skip a beat, just by your words Chihiro is fullfil by an inmense hope and start crying again, but this time out of relief and happines, even this time he does it in your chest, thanking you over and over again

After this Chihiro feels so happy and motivate, he still wants to become stronger, so stronge that he will have the security to reveal his secret to the rest, but right now he is happy knowing that he may have a chance with you since you just accepted his true self

Kou Sakuragi

It take a while for Kou to develop a crush since normally she feels too anxious while being in public or interaction with others, so for her you two have to be friends first

Once Kou start to feel more comfortable she start to show more herself freely, not feeling so bad by just being herself (but when she noticed how much she get carry away she gets shy again and apologize almost like if he had done something bad)

However when Kou develop romantic feeling for you it would take her a while to noticed it since she is just enjoying the feeling of comfort and joy it brings her being with you, but she will notice soon or later, at first she feels completely anxious over it but as time pass by she start to calm down more and more, she feels shy about her feelings but it isn't like she doesn't like them

Kou is pretty shy and insecure already and her clothes shows just that since she normally just choose the ones that she feels comfortable with, not really trying something new or too extravagant for her taste. If you ever mistake her and think that she is a boy for her looks she totally understand why, she won't blame you but it make her feel bad and anxious, like if she were lying to you, Kou wants to explain to you that she is actually a girl but she is too scare about your reaction, what if you feel like she was just tricking you? what if you see her as some kind of weirdo or even a pervert? what if this changes the way you see her? what if this change your relationship? The anxiety is eating her alive

Even if you don't mistake her for a boy her appearance make her a little insecure and with the responsability of explaining to you her style

She isn't like other girls, she is not exactly girly and she sometimes thinks that for that reason you may wouldn't even see her as more than a friend

Kou just doesn't talk about her clothes, so it has to be that she change her clothes one day (like when Narumi and Koyanagi help her buy new clothes) or that she explain to you that she just dress the way she feels more comfortable, or maybe even you were the one pointing out her clothes, it doesn't matter how it happen the moment the topic of her clothes is bring up she immediatly gets nervous, but when you tell her that you don't really mind how she dress (or even compliment her) she is shocked and more calm

You insisted that is okay for her to dress up the way is more comfortable for her and that even when she is a girl she isn't obligate to be girly, and even when the words already left your mouth Kou is taking a moment to understand your words and one more to comprehend that you actually say it. Kou is insecure and shy so you reasuring her that you don't care if her style isn't the most extravagant or girly and even that she looks good it makes her feel flustered

This little reasurance that it could be seen like nothing is really special for her, her clothes are comforting for her and you accepting her just as she is it makes her fall in love with you a little more, and, also, it makes her feel even more comfortable around you

[circeyoru]

I'M BACK!! SORTA

I WANNA KNOW IF THE READER (UNWANTED SOUL) WILL DO THE LITTLE DANCE OF WOTAKOI OR THE POKEMON DANCE (ITS SOO CUTE AND ITS GETTING IN MY HEAD IN REPEAT)

BTW LOVE THE NEW SERIES I CAN'T HELP BUT IMAGINE MORE OF IT NOW HUHU

- 💜

The ask for {Unwanted Soul} and referencing {Collection of Overlords}, check MASTERLIST for the work

Thanks for supporting the new series!

And welcome back.

For the Dance of Wotakoi: I see Reader/you watching the anime and wanted to try it out. You'll most likely get Alastor to do it with you as a partner. But you need to learn Alastor and help him with the hand gestures. He seriously doesn't mind since you'd be moving his fingers around to properly show him how it's done and all. Plus the dance is like a couple pairing, right? He's definitely in on it. TEACH HIM!!

For the Pokemon Dance: I see you doing it in private and Alastor happen upon it. He'll forget that he wasn't supposed to stare and clap his hands loudly while praising your cute moves, even asking for an encore! You, being embarrassed, shut the room door in his face and yell at him with a beat-red face. Alastor still praises you for rewarding him with such a sight. Yeah... Not helping him...

Something from Makoto Shinkai. Your name, Weathering with you or Suzume. Even someone who hates anime would appreciate the beauty of these movies and the amazing music

Or, as was my case, Violet Evergarden.

29. anime that deserves another season

I also answered that in this ask (Romantic Killer; this anime is SO good and really deserves another season!!) but I can also give another title.

Sometimes I randomly remember about Blue Period and I'm like "Hey, where is the second season?" As far as I know, the manga is still being created, so there is still a lot of material for the anime and I have to admit that Blue Period is something.

30. one anime conclusion you would change

I'm torn between Tokyo Revengers and My Hero Academia. The first one was a bit disappointing because it was way too happy enging. As much as it sounds, someone could have stayed dead or on bad terms with other characters. And with My Hero Academia, I didn't feel satisfied at all with the career Midoryia chose. I've read too many Vigilante Deku fanfics to believe he didn't try to work as a hero.

Edit: Shit, these were mangas, not anime xD My mistake So Banana Fish. Because OH COME ONNNN. It could have ended differently, happier.

Thanks again and have a nice day! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

3k followers celebration: part 2

In my last poll, where you guys could decide what kind of celebration I'm gonna do for my milestone, the top 10 anime list won! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to all the people who participated💖

This means there's now a second poll, to decide the order of the graphics for my favorite animangas! Voting below:

I have to admit I didn't fully know what my top 10 anime are before doing this and I don't feel i'm 100% sure 😅 maybe my opinion will change next week, but this will do for the time being

[astrowaffles]

Until now, have you found any couple (canon or non canon) from any media (books, tv series, movies, anime/manga, etc) that the dynamics remind you of Yuki/Kakeru or Oikawa/Iwaizumi?

*clears throat* DID I HEAR CHILDHOOD FRIENDS WHO ARGUE AND ARE IN LOVE?

Joe x Cherry - SK8 the Infinity

Yona x Hak - Yona of the Dawn

Ena x Kosuke - Science Fell in Love so I Tried To Prove It

Mu Qing x Feng Xin - Heaven Official's Blessing

Tomo x Junichiro - Tomo-chan is a Girl!

Kabakura x Koyanagi - Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku

Dazai x Chuuya - Bungou Stray Dogs

Maomao x Jinshi - The Apothecary Diaries

Hikari x Kei - Special A

Okay, not all of these are childhood friends, but all of them have the argumentative/competitive dynamic that is occasionally tempered with some sap just to keep us believing. If I counted correctly, 6 of these are canon couples and 4 of those are the stars of the show! I highly recommend all of them.

Thanks for the ask!

[wttcsms]

hello you are CUUUUUUTE and you made me laugh re: horny messages on tumblr and writing about them ashdgfhsksgkl anyway i love your nails and the bow situation is very pretty!! is it hard to keep them in place? i feel like my hair would have them sliding around or something! so i'm impressed also that boy was probably just intimidated by your beauty tbh. i couldn't really see the box manga you got though could you drop the name please?

HI MY MOST BELOVED MANGOSTARJAM!!!! thank u 🥹🥹 as for the bows, the clips are surprisingly sturdy!! HAHA i think maybe he felt like he was in the way (im the same way in a store LOL) + the manga box set i got is wotakoi: love is hard for otaku 😭 which might be a look into my future, who knows

[neonscandal]

Hello, can I ask from this ask game :

https://www.tumblr.com/threecheersforinking/677824836625694720/anime-ask-game?source=share

For anime/manga : Banana Fish, SK8 The Infinity, Attack on Titans and Wotakoi...

P.s

I want to ask JJK and BNHA, but I'm afraid if the ask will be too long....

Hello, hello, anon! 💜 thank you for reaching out. Just know that we do not fear length here. Those who will read, will read. Besides, this is a question posed by and meant for you.

I appreciate that you knew I'd struggle to be succinct tho haha I think I nailed it okay (literally, what do I know?).

BANANA FISH

Favorite Character: Ash Lynx

Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene: The moment of recognition that focused Ash’s eyes when, with his vision compromised, he realized Eiji had come to rescue him from Dino. 🥹 Eiji hugging Ash after they rescue him from Fox. MAX BURNING ASH’S PICTURES.

Character I Think is Underrated: Max Lobo. I don’t know where he rates but it‘ll never be high enough in my book (see above).

Character I Think is Overrated:

Favorite Ship/Pairing: AshEiji

Something I Love About the Show/Movie: I honestly don’t know if I loved it. I mean. I’ve recommended it on multiple lists but it was triggering, I bawled my eyes out, I had to stop watching part way for over a month because it devastated me and, after everything, it ended so unfairly. Watching Banana Fish is an experience that festers within me that I am occasionally compelled to relive. So maybe there’s something to be said for a story that can inspire that in a way that lasts (I’ve literally only watched it once and won’t again). Maybe I just love the idea of a broken person who can still be loved and regarded gently without condition.

SK8 THE INFINITY

Favorite Character: Kaoru “Cherry” Sakurayashiki, he’s so gender.

Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene: this is one series that justifiably has a beach episode if only to set up Miya cockblocking Joe. Joe will never beat the Down-Bad-For-Kaoru allegations, either.

Character I Think is Underrated: Miya. I feel like there’s more unexplored lore RE: Adam, his relationship with food and, of course, his relationship with his parents and peers. Oka is another sleeper but I think I was just intrigued by the fanon idea of Oka from fan art

Character I Think is Overrated:

Favorite Ship/Pairing: MatchaBlossom, also, knowing Kaoru and Adam had some fling or something pre-MB is precisely what I mean when I say your favorite characters wouldn’t just settle down. Let them be messy like people, it’s better for the lore.

Something I Love About the Show/Movie: I love a show I can share with my niece and nephew but, more than that, the music was a VIBE.

ATTACK ON TITAN

Favorite Character: Levi Ackerman

Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene: Erwin’s galvanizing speech in Shinganshina. 🔪💔 Or the big reveal at the castle tower when the main cast were just recruits under scrutiny. Their outlandish victory there.

Character I Think is Underrated: Poor Moblit had to put up with so much hahaha respected Hange's pronouns, supported their eccentricity (with caution) and was an absolute ride or die.

Character I Think is Overrated: Eren Jaeger.

Favorite Ship/Pairing: Eruri

Something I Love About the Show/Movie: the exposition. Not by the spoonful but, instead, by the shock of a snapping jaw. With the subject matter being as heavy as it is, the world building unfurled in such a way that you, as the viewer, are an ignorant person behind the wall. You learned things as the characters, namely the main trio, came to understand them. They grew up with your expanding world view, their innocence falling away as the harsh reality of the world they lived in shifted into focus and it was done so elegantly that you never see the next big twist coming. Even with all the easter eggs you come to realize after the fact!

WOTAKOI: LOVE IS HARD FOR OTAKU

Favorite Character: Hanako Koyanagi and Hirotaka Nifuji are like neck and neck

Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene: Not only finding out that Hanako cosplays but that she is like renowned for her handsome characters.

Character I Think is Underrated: Naoya Nifuji - I kinda feel like there's not a thought behind those eyes but so, so nice. Also, well meaning chaos when he almost blows Hirotaka's cover. But, see what I mean?

Character I Think is Overrated:

Favorite Ship/Pairing: Both of the main two couples have some issues but.. isn't that real life? So.. Hanako and Taro even though they argue, the love runs deep

Something I Love About the Show/Movie: It's so relatable ✨ (see above)

JUJUTSU KAISEN

Favorite Character: So many, honestly. Gojo, Nanami and Nobara are just top tier, in my opinion for many reasons.

Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene: Toss up between Nobara and Yuji becoming accomplices because the trio were really stepping up while trying to undo that curse or the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc in setting the stage for everything.

Character I Think is Underrated: Nanami Kento. I talk a lot about Geto Suguru being doomed by the narrative but maybe it's just any earnest man in jujutsu society. It's why Gojo tests to make sure his students are crazy before accepting them.

Character I Think is Overrated: Toji Zenin. Don't get me wrong, character wise, he's zesty and he's so grossly mischaracterized that it makes me question people's reading comprehension. He's an interesting wildcard whose omitted background, I think, will boomerang back into the story. But some of the fan obsession is a bit out of my realm of understanding.

Favorite Ship/Pairing: *gestures vaguely to the rest of my blog* SatoSugu, but it's pretty casual.

Something I Love About the Show/Movie: Surprisingly, the prevalence of alternative representation and bad ass female cast that subverts typical shonen fodder. But also, the fact that the chaos that is seemingly bringing on the end of the world in the current timeline is literally thanks to two teenagers who would willingly fight a god but couldn't be honest about how they felt 10 years ago. There are so many "if only's" in this series, it's maddening, actually.

MY HERO ACADEMIA

Favorite Character: Katsuki Bakugo

Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene: All Might vs. AFO as Bakugo and Deku watch from a distance.

Character I Think is Underrated: Tokoyami. Having placed third in the sports festival, Tokoyami appreciation is still not loud enough for me. Locks down an internship with the Number 2 hero. Bears the burden of a heteromorph quirk while locked in an eternal effort to subjugate Dark Shadow. Has presumably stellar taste in music and poetry. Kid is legitimately fearsome and, yet, people don’t put enough respect on him even though he’s lowkey also OP.

Character I Think is Overrated: I’m going to get some hate for this but.. All Might. His arrested development may not be his fault but misguiding Midoriya out of some misplaced sense of ego or obligation was so frustrating when he's the adult in the situation. I just think he deserves more slander.

Favorite Ship/Pairing: BakuDeku and/or EraserMic (fanon EraserMic content is always just 😘👌🏾) but there are a lot of great ones to choose from, I have plenty of faves.

Something I Love About the Show/Movie: The idea that anyone can be a hero and, inversely, that anyone can be a villain. The latter stemming from the fact that you don’t know who you are in other people’s story, nor how close you are to ruin with one lapse in judgement. There’s a persisting idea of redemption while a lot of the heavy hitters in this conflict are entrenched in generations' worth of unrest. Think about Compress, Geten's family (not calling out a spoiler here but IYKYK), Redestro, All For One, One for All... the list goes on and on. I have a draft somewhere about this but got too busy to put all my thoughts down for a lot of theories I had for MHA. So maybe I also love that it's a story that has always kept me guessing in a really constructive way. Lastly, with such a huge, nuanced ensemble cast, I think a lot of people are able to see themselves in the context of these characters which is really unique.

[madamrynodm]

For season 2 of My Adventures With Superman, can they recreated the wotakoi op please and thank you

[killjoy-prince]

Do you have any shoujo manga recommendations? I recently read Sasaki and Miyato and realised that I have been severly missing out!

Sure!! Thanks for asking me!

First, in case you haven't read it yet, Sasaki and Miyano has a spinoff that starts six months before the plot of Sasaki and Miyano called Hirano and Kagiura also by Shou Harusono.

This one focuses on Sasaki's friend, Hirano and his new dormmate, Kagiura. I know Sasaki had extra stories with them but the spinoff gave them an actual story. It currently has about 23 chapters and a light novel with the light novel being the first thing that happens chronologically. No anime for it as far as I know. The back of the first volume has a timeline of where events fit (this came out when Sasaki was up to Volume 5)

Speaking of novels, Sasaki and Miyano has two novels, one focusing on the characters' first year and one on their second year. I haven't read them yet so I'm not sure what exactly happens in them but if you can, check them out!

OK, now for other recs!

Wotakoi: Love Is Hard For Otaku by Fujita

This one is really cute! An office worker and otaku named Narumi Momose got dumped by her boyfriend when she got outed as one. Feeling awkward about running into him at work after the bad breakup, she quit her job and got a new one at a different company. This time, she's determined to keep her secret under wraps as to avoid another incident. However, this may prove to be hard when she finds out her childhood friend and fellow otaku Hirotaka Nifuji works at the company and almost outs her on her first day. She meets up with him after work to catch up and when Narumi tells him about her recent breakup, he asks her why not date an otaku. Specifically him. She rejects it at first but when he says he can help her in life, video games and with her booth at Comiket, she agrees.

There are three couples this series focuses on. The second couple knew each other since high school and have been dating for about a decade and work at the company with Narumi and Hirotaka. The third couple is the younger brother of Hirotaka and a gamer who goes to his college. It's a lighthearted comedy about office worker otakus and navigating their relationships. A lot of references to anime, video games, BL, GL, you name it. Like Sasaki, this was a webcomic posted on pixiv so the pacing and layout feel similar, at least to me. There are 11 volumes (6 volumes if you go by the English translation bc they combined two volumes into one for 5 of them and then the last one is by itself). I mainly got into this one bc Hirotaka was aesthetically my type. I remember seeing the first volume cover at kinokuniya when only the Japanese version was out and being like "I need to find out what this series is bc I need to meet him"

Kimi Ni Todoke by Karuho Shiina

This was a series I read when I was in high school. High school freshman Sawako Kuronuma has been feared and misunderstood by her peers all her life due to her appearance. It was so bad that her classmates call her Sadako since she looks like the character from The Ring. She had resigned to her fate of never making a friend until popular boy Kazehaya starts talking to her. The more time he spends talking to her, the more her world opens up and she starts making friends and experience things she hadn't been able to before this point. As they spend more time together, love blossoms between the two characters.

There are 30 volumes and 38 episodes. I read up to volume 18 and then stopped because that was the most recent volume at the time and I kinda forgot about by the time more volumes came out. But that was my fault not the manga because this series is really really cute!! A term I've coined for myself when I read this was whenever Kazehaya and Sawako were being cute together, I'd exclaimed "THESE ADORABLE LITTLE FUCKS!!" because they are so adorable to each other. The friends Sawako makes are really cool and fun in their own right. If you want some really cute, tooth rotting sweetness, I recommend this series.

Princess Jellyfish by Akiko Higashimura

Tsukimi Kurashita is a jellyfish fanatic that lives in Amamizukan, a woman only apartment building that houses other woman with their own fixations. They are considered NEETS and have a strict rule of no men allowed in their living space. Tsukimi's love for jellyfish came from going to a jellyfish aquarium with her mom before she died of an illness when Tsukimi was a kid. She goes to a pet shop regularly to visit a spotted jellyfish she's taken a fancy to that she named Kurara. When she sees that the employees put a moon jellyfish in the same tank, she fears for its life as the moon jellyfish will kill Kurara if not taken care of. However, her fear of talking to normal people lead to a misunderstanding with the employee until a stylish person comes to her rescue and they take Kurara back to Amamizukan. The next morning, Tsukimi finds out the stylish person she brought back to her home is an illegitimate son of a politician and cross-dresser named Kuranosuke Koibuchi.

There are 84 chapters and 11 episodes of this series. I read up to about chapter 74 before stopping for the same reason I did for Kimi Ni Todoke. It's a really fun time. The characters are funny and sweet, the situations are entertaining, it's just a fun o' time. And the art is really pretty!!

Skip and Loafer by Misaki Takamatsu

Mitsumi Iwakura moved from her small town on the outskirt of Ishikawa Prefecture to Tokyo to start high school. However, she gets lost going to school on the first day due to the culture shock and seems at a loss at what to do. That's when she meets Sosuke Shima who was late to school himself and travels with her to school. The series follows Mitsumi as she experiences school life in the city and meets lots of new people and makes friends with Sosuke along for the ride.

There's currently about 59 chapters and 12 episodes of this series. I started reading it when the anime was announced and I had a fun time reading it. I really enjoyed Mitsumi and seeing her learn and broaden her horizons as she goes to school and hang out with Sosuke and everyone else. It's a nice story!

Given by Natsuki Kizu

High school student Uenoyama Ritsuka is a guitarist in a instrumental only band with college students Akihiko Kaji and Haruki Nakayama. When going to his usual hiding spot for lunch, he finds Mafuyu Sato sleeping with a guitar with broken strings in his arms. Uenoyama offers to fix it and when he does and plays a note, Sato begs him to teach him how to play. Uenoyama is reluctant but gives in when Sato persists. After spending some time together, Uenoyama finds out that Sato has a beautiful singing voice and invites him to join his band.

There are 9 volumes, 11 episodes and a movie, with another movie on the way. The series focuses on three relationships. The first is the relationship between Uenoyama and Sato, the second between Akihiko and Haruki and the third between Sato's childhood friends Hiiragi and Shizusumi. The art is really pretty and the characters are so good!! I really enjoyed the story a lot! My favorite character is Hiiragi and I can't wait for the next movie to come out because they're gonna cover his story then and I wanna hear him sing!! (Also his seiyuu is Fumiya Imai AKA seiyuu for Akito Shinonome so double reason why I wanna hear it) Also, Imma use this as an excuse to post a page I really wanna see animated bc I can hear it so clearly in my head.

Bloom Into You by Nakatani Nio

Yuu Koito, lover of shoujo manga, always dreamed of being confessed to and experience that heart pounding feeling she sees happen in her books. However, when she's confessed to by a guy in middle school, she feels nothing and rejects him. Now starting high school, she's left confused on what her lack of feeling means. When she sees the student council president Touko Nanami turn down a boy, she asks her for help with her situation. But when Nanami confesses her love to Koito, will she feel that spark she's being hoping for? There's 8 volumes, 13 episodes and 3 light novels starring a side character. I'm up to volume 6 of this one and I'm really enjoying it!! The story is engaging, the charatcers are interesting. I like that Yuu isn't a pushover, she's a bit snarky and doesn't let Touko push her around. And I like how Touko comes off as a competent student council president but she has a more vulnerable side that she only shows Yuu. They pair nicely with each other.

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun by Izumi Tsubaki

OK I know you know this one already but this wouldn't be a rec list made by me if I didn't include it. This is my favorite series ever. It's mecore. Me-coded. Me. Second year high schooler Chiyo Sakura finally gets the courage to confess her love to Umetarou Nozaki, a guy in her grade. However, she messes up the confession and says she's his biggest fan instead of "I like you". Nozaki, in response, gives her his autograph and then invites her to his house. She accepts but once they get there, he has her do inking on a manga he makes. Turns out, Nozaki is a manga artist under the pen name Sakiko Yumeno and he's had his eye on Sakura for a while because he wanted to bring her onto his team as an inker. She agrees to join so she can get closer to him.

There's currently 14 volumes, 12 episodes and an OVA split into six 5-mintue parts. This series has me dying of laughter with every chapter. The characters are fun, the story is fun, it's just a fun time! There are three main couples with some side couples and duos that get their own time in the spotlight as well. The main ones are Sakura and Nozaki, Sakura's friend Yuzuki Seo and Nozaki's screentone assistant and first year Hirotaka Wakamatsu, and Nozaki's background artist and third year theater club president Masayuki Hori and "Prince of the Drama Club" Yuu Kashima. Other characters like Mikoto "Mikorin" Mikoshiba, Mayu Nozaki, Yukari Miyako, Ken Miyamae, and Mitsuya Maeno all bring their own brand of fun to the table. This series made me laugh so much I couldn't read it in class to slack off because I'd laugh out loud and disrupt class. I've yet to read another series that made me do that. I cannot recommend this series enough. Please read AND watch it if you have not already. Nozaki is starting to gain awarness. I lose my mind whenever I see it happen. I wanna see it happen. It's been 13 years!

Imma put an honorable mention here because I haven't read or watch it yet but I've heard Horimiya written by HERO and illustrated by Daisuke Hagiwara is really good. I wanted to but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

That's all I have for right now! If you've already read/watched all of these already, lmk and I'll list some more!! Hope you enjoy! ^_^

[thequietkid-moonie]

Kōsei Arima, Haruhi Fujioka, Ken Robbins, Marin Kitagawa, Narumi Momose, Hero dating a deaf reader.

Deaf!S/O

[ HEADCANONS ] [ Kousei, Haruhi, Ken, Marin, Narumi, Hero ]

[ Your lie in April ] [ Ouran High School Host Club ] [ Kaleido Star ] [ My Dress-Up Darling ] [ Wotakoi ] [ Omori ]

Dear anon, Are you reading my mind? 🤨 cuz I was thinking on writing deaf!S/O too

By the way, thanks for requesting so lovely characters 🥰 I really loved writing this!!

Kousei Arima

Even if Kousei doesn't show it much he is a really caring person, and when he falls in love he loves deeply

You being deaf is not really a problem for him, he doesn't mind at all, and even when he has the problem that he doesn't hear when he is playing the piano he won't really dare to say that is the same, it may help him to understand you somewhat but still he will never take it as the same

He doesn't really waste much time before start learning sign language (at least the basic) even before start dating, it doesn't take him long to learn but still at first he tent to sign slowly for being nervous and trying to remember correctly how to sign what he tries to say (it could be pretty cute to see)

Although he doesn't have any problem adapting to whatever way of comunication you prefer, either with sign language, writing it down or even if you know how to read lips

As well he doesn't mind at all explain directly to you what others are saying or explaining it to you the situation, he always take a moment to explain what happen if you need it (at first he did ask you directly if you need him to explain, but after been together for a while he learn to identify whenever you need help so he just turn to look at you to know)

Whenever he needs to catch your attention or when he approatch to you without you noticing, either because you are distracted or busy he always do it gently patting your shoulder or taking your hand and when you look at him he always smiles sweetly, without fail

He isn't someone how get into fights but he will stand up for you if someone start saying bad things about you or directly insulting you (although if that happen is probably that Kaori, Watari and Tsubaki will step in to defend you too, may even before Kousei has the opportunity to do so)

Once he start playing the piano again it sadden a little him that you won't be able to hear it or experience it like he does, but that doesn't stop him from playing with all his heart and with you as one of his biggest motivations

If you end up relaying on him a lot for help he doesn't really mind, it makes him happy to be able to help you (and it actually comfort him since he still feel bad for not being able to help his mother), it only flustered him when someone else point it out and tease him for it (mainly Watari and Kaori)

If you ever bad for needing extra help or feel like a bother he panics a little, he doesn't like that you feel that way and he is quickly to comfort you, he isn't too good with words but he tries his best, remembering you that he is always helping because he loves you and that he will never consider you a burden

Haruhi Fujioka

Haruhi is really calm and mature person, and even when she is pretty independent she is really caring too is just natural for her care for her partner, disability or not

You being deaf will never be a problem for her, she just has to adapt to you and since she has a golden patience she is always there to help you out whenever you need it

As I said, she doesn't have any problem with adapting to what you need so she just go by whatever ways of comunication you prefer, either writing or with sign language, even if you know lip reading is fine to her but she reminds you to don't overwork yourself (specially if you are trying to don't bother others for your special needs), in either case she will learn sign language, you don't even have to ask

She always offer you to explain or traduce what others say, although most of the time she doesn't traduce completly what the others hosts say, they are mainly just caotic and saying random things, so if you ask she just explain that they are being themselfs (still, if you want she will try to explain what the hell they are into now)

She isn't clingy but if you prefer to stay by her side she doesn't has any problem with it, and she isn't shy at all she has no problem with holding your hand (only if you want to, she doesn't have problem with avoiding pda neither)

Haruhi can be pretty oblivous at times or being too distracted in her own thoughts so comunication is really important, you don't have to worry or be shy while asking for something (even if isn't help is okay), Haruhi isn't someone who judge nor even shy you just have to be more direct while asking for something

Deep down it makes her really happy being able to help you and even more if you tent to relay more in her for help, she is used to be all alone since her mother died or being surrounded by her chaotic friends so she is grateful to have just peaceful time with you

Also, Haruhi isn't someone who gets into fights but she won't think twice to stand up for you if someone dare to say something bad about you, specially if it really affect you, although while she still tries to solve the problem without fighting the others of the club won't be as peaceful as she is (even if you aren't in the club, since you are important for Haruhi you are important to them), they will step in and mess with whoever even thing bad about you (mainly Tamaki and the twins)

If you ever feel bad for being deaf or like a burden she is quickly to reasure you that you don't have to feel like that, being deaf if something you didn't ask for and something you can't control either, so you don't have to be ashame or feel bad for being the way you are, besides you will never be a bother for her, caring for the person she love is natural in her and will never be a problem

Ken Robbins

Ken is gentle and a little shy, he gets pretty flustered just by being on a relationship with you. For him you being deaf is not a problem but he really gives it importance, always take it in consideration as well your needs

He will never think less of you though, is just that he knows pretty well how is to live with an special condition since he has a weak heart and has to be careful with some things (even so, he doesn't treat it as the same)

He is easy to adapt to the situation and pretty quick to react so he has no problem with adapting to your needs, also he always treat you with a lot of courtesy and he end up getting used to ask you from time to time if you are alright or need help with something (it doesn't matter if is something that has nothing to do with your disability he always tries to help you)

Since the Kaleido Stage has world fame and in almost all the presentations fills up is for sure that at least more that one of the staff has to know sign language, so if he doesn't know yet it won't be a problem to learn it (it would benefit his work too), even if he doesn't mind writing down to talk to you it would be better to talk with sign language since when he isn't busy in the Kaleido Stage he is with his family

He is pretty busy with his work in the Kaleido Stage but he doesn't mind if you pay him a visit, after a while you will be know between the staff and they just let you in, also Kalos won't mind too much if you are there as long as you don't interrupt rehearsals and don't break his trust. However, as much as he loves having you around he prefer for you to don't go close to release date or at presentations since everyone is more busy and stressed, and the artists who are there since a long time could be pretty mean and aggresive

He always take time to traduce to you what others say or explain the situation if you need it, and his friends (that now are your friends too) are willing to learn sign language too, although since Sora is so cheerful all the time she just forget that you are deaf most of the time and always greet you with words or talk to you directly. Also, you are free to go with his family too, his mother will totally love you and even when she may doesn't learn sign language she has no problem with writing down and make signs to make more clear what she is trying to say

If you tend to rely in him for help he doesn't really mind he is happy to help you out, still he can't help but get flustered and blushy whenever you do it (but that just lead Mia and Anna to tease him a lot, even Sarah is always pointing out the cute couple you two are)

Marin Kitagawa

Marin can be pretty extrovert and easy to speak her mind out, and even when she is always draging the attention to her unconsciously she isn't someone who falls in love easily, but when she does she does deeply and with all her heart

For her you being deaf it will never be a problem, Marin loves you nonetheless and you loving her too is enough for her to make all her efforts to be with you. It isn't easy for her to adapt to your needs but that won't stop her to try again and again until she is fully adapted

Since she really is talktive when she gets distracted she just forget that you can't hear her and start talking her mind of, specially at the begging of your relationship, and when she was just about to scold you for ignoring her is when she noticed how nervous you were since she was talking a lot or may even you didn't noticed that she was talking, mentally beating herself she quickly apologize for forgeting it and promises to make it up for you (even if you don't mind or didn't even noticed)

Even if you didn't asked her she wants to learn sign language because she wants to surprise you, although it take her a long time because she is just getting too distracted by daydreaming about how will be your reaction when she talk to you the first time with sign language, or even how you will react the first time she sign "I love you" to you. At the end she ask her friends and even Gojo to help her because she can't stop getting distracted

Also, while she learn sign language she has not problem with talking to you by writing it, mainly texting you and always uses a lot of cute emojis and stickers. If you know how to lip reading is something that suprised her a lot and may even ask you how you do it and if you could teach her, however if you don't tell her directly that you can do it it would take her a long time to find it out

Marin can be pretty clingy and espontaneous so it would take her a while get used to approach to you without startling you in the process, she will try her hardest to remember to always enter in your field of vision before touching you or at least do it gently, but at the end she learn it the bad way since her friends and even Gojo end up scolding her a lot for always scare you like that

She will never let anyone say something bad about you, it doesn't matter if that person do it behind your back or directly nor even if you don't care for others opinion, if she hear someone saying something bad about you she get furious, and she can be really intimidating when she is angry so just by her look that person is already regreting even opening their mouth

Also, if you ever feel bad for being deaf or like a burden she giggles and call you silly for it, in her eyes you are perfect and she loves you with all her heart so you will never be a borden for her, if you still feel bad she offer to cheer you up with a treat

Narumi Momose

Narumi tend to act sweet and innocent with the rest of the world but once you accept her as the mess she is she stop trying so hard and just is herself, as well she accept you just the way you are

Narumi can reasure you a million of times that you being deaf is not a problem and even when she mean it it take her a long time to adjust to your needs, specially at the start of your relasionship, since she can be easy to get distracted and a bit clumsy she from time to time forget that you can't hear her and just talk to you so normally, although when she realice what she did she deeply apologize

Most of the time you two comunicate by texting each other or simple signs, she had promised to you that she will learn sign language even if you insist that is not necessary, although it would take her a long time just because she ends up procrastinating a lot, is more probably that Kotanagi and Kabakura learn it first and she will find out when she sees one of them talking to you with it, she will be too embarrassed to admit that she had been so distracted to start learning it, but if Hirotaka already learn it too that will hit her prideful side (for how asocial he tend to be)

She has no problem with traducing what others say and explaining things to you when you need it, but since she can be very distracted at times you have to ask her if she could do it

After a while Narumi just get used to you being deaf and end up clinging to you whenever you two are together, she did it with the excuse of helping you but she end up liking it a little too much and she does it automatically all the time you two are together outside, although whenever she has to work in her doujinshi she prefer for you to don't be near her, nothing personal is just that she is so stressed that is scary, and she won't have head for anything aside form the story

And if you tend to rely in her for help she gets super flustered, she knows she isn't the best and still you trust her a lot! she find it pretty cute too

She wil find a lot of troubles to confront other if they are speaking bad about you since she isn't the type to get into fights, she prefers to focus on comforting you, but if it deeply affects you she will stand up for you (more like calling them idiots while being really mad)

If you ever feel bad for being deaf or like a bother she panics and a million of thoughts runs in her mind wondering what she should do, at the end she tries to comfort you by telling you that you aren't a bother and that you are perfect in her eyes and that she loves you just the way you are, just before becoming a blushing mess the moment she notice what she was saying

Hero

Hero not just is a big brother but he also, along with Mari, had always been looking after everyone on the group, he is naturaly caring so that obviously will be present in your relasionship

Hero has no problem with you being deaf, if he has to adapt to the needs you have he will without much troubles, and he is always taking you in consideration as well, it isn't like he thinks less of you he just want to make sure you never feel left behind

He won't have any problem with writing down to talk with you, but since his friends could be chaotic and energetic (specially his brother) it going to be better to talk with sign language

Speaking of he won't have any problem with learning it and he will do it pretty quickly, specially since he will learn it along side with Mari, she wanted to learn it too since you two are friends and that will lead Kel, Aubrey, Sunny and Basil wanting to learn it too but at the end just Sunny and Aubrey will be the ones who succed (at least the basic) since Kel give up when it started to get complicated and to Basil end up being really confusing

Hero always takes a moment to make sure you are fine and ask you if you need help with something and no matter how much times you tell him that you are fine or that he doesn't have to worry so much he keeps doing it. Also, he is always explaining to you the situation or what people are saying if you need it

He can be pretty clingy at times, and even if he isn't really shy he gets flustered when you are the one getting clingy, if you prefer to stay close to him because you feel more secure that way he will be really flustered and flattered, even if you don't tell him he will notice it at some point (or will be Mari who notice it since she is really perceptual)

As well, if you tend to rely a lot on him for help he will be really flustered too, he doesn't mind it at all he is already used to helping and taking care of the others and still you make him feel really special, and as a plus every time Mari notice you seem to be struguling with something or when all of you were going to do something else she always tell Hero to help you since is something a caring and loving boyfriend should do (Mari loves teasing Hero)

Non of your friends will let anyone tell bad things about you, even taking it really personal when is about you being deaf, and while Hero and Mari will stand up for you trying to avoid getting into a fight Aubrey and Kel will react pretty aggresive

If you ever feel bad or like a bother that will make Hero nervious, he tries to comfort you pointing out how all your friends (him included) are really happy to be your friend and they don't really mind it that you are deaf, also he focus on trying to cheer you up, maybe he can make some cookies for you

Story Pile: Pretty boy Detective Club

I feel like I’m going to need a chart for this one. And some kind of containment perimeter.

Pretty Boy Detective Club is a series of light novels that have an anime adaptation and that anime adaptation has a manga adaptation. The anime came to my attention thanks to my liking the music of Sumika, the band that made the opening song from the excellent anime Wotakoi. Sumika do a kind of jazzy pop song style, which suits Wotakoi‘s office vibe, and before that, they did the opening for this anime, a song called Shake & Shake.

I’m not talking about the anime this time because I can’t watch the anime here in Australia for some reason, and instead I read the manga — which means I get a different set of cases to the anime, which is potentially a good thing, as we’ll see. Also this manga is part of and connected to the Monogatari novels, both in that they share an author, Nisio Isin, and the main character Mayumi Dojima shows up in both universes.

The two people who read this blog and Monogatari are going What? right now.

Anyway, uh, yeah, that’s the largesse of how this thing exists and why I know about it, and what spurred me to read it. The pitch is pretty simple: It’s a manga about a detective club full of pretty boys. To that end we’re going to discuss the pitch, the characters, the mysteries, and then the problem.

Before we proceed, though, you’re going to need a Spoiler Warning so I can feel free to talk about the twists and surprise in this stupid stupid series and also, Content Warning because we’re going to once again go to the Anime Age conversation!

At the heart of Pretty Boy Detective Club is a continuation of the wonderful tradition of what I think of as Ouran-likes; it’s an anime where a girl falls into what is ultimately a harem setup, a bunch of boys who all attend a club and who are all in their own ways desireable for her to either consider kissing, or to consider kissing one another. The club structure gives you a unifying aesthetic, a common space, and a typical thing to be doing from episode to episode, a habitual to be, and the series spends its time doing episode to episode introducing this girl to these characters and how they solve problems and do things.

Here, meet the protagonist Mayumi Dojima. She’s a girl, which obviously has some problems with Pretty Boy Detective Club, but don’t worry, we’ll get there. One day, pursuing a mystery and filled with the overwhelming ennui of wasting her life as a fourteen year old teenaged girl in Japan (hey, is Japan okay?), she stumbles into a club of pretty boys (don’t worry, you don’t need to know who they are), who tell her they are the Pretty Boy Detective Club (hey that’s the name of the book!).

There, she learns the four rules of the club:

Be pretty!

Be a boy!

Be a detective!

Be a club!

And honestly, this is the most charming thing about this manga for me. It might be showing at this point, but this manga is not as strong a story as I like, but here, this kind of central core aphorism appeals to me greatly. Each of these ideas can be knitted together into a whole idealised behaviour – things like expression, aesthetics, willingness to embrace one’s youth, sticking together, being curious – but it’s also just an obviously silly phrase that makes the speaker sound like they’re telling a joke. I love it!

What follows from here is some honestly fun good hijinks. After all, Mayumi isn’t a boy, so to fit in the club, she crossdresses. But then, fool, they make ‘him’ too hot, and that means for him to leave the class without a girl on his arm would be suspicious! But don’t worry, rather than, say, change the persona or fake identity they gave Mayumi, one of the boys then cross-dresses as a girl, to walk out with ‘him’!

This is, in my mind, delightful. That’s funny. That’s a kind of devotion to ridiculousness and a willingness to clown around with gender presentation that I find very endearing in characters. There is a humour at work here in this series that clearly recognises these ideas, like crossdressing and cute boys are appealing and you can have a fun time with a story that shows them off. There’s a joyful, comedic indulgence, a playfulness and all of this is lovely and fun, asterisk.

Good premise! Good pitch! Ouran type, crossdressing, characters who are extra and idiots!

Now, about those characters. There’s first of all Mayumi, who is an ordinary high school girl, asterisk, who starts the story off by trying to solve a mystery that started when she saw something at the age of four. Without going through all the steps, this winds up getting her attention of both nefarious forces and of also, the club. This club at introduction includes:

Manabu, the leader of the group, and owner of one of the two personalities in the club,

Nagahiro, the student council president and aloof, ponytailed sort of cardboard cutout with access to money and resources,

Michiro, the delinquent and tough guy as represented by never doing anything delinquent and mostly being a nonverbal chef,

Hyouta, one of the other personalities in the club in that he both likes showing off his legs and nonconsensually looking at peoples’ underwear, and I know that doesn’t sound like much but we are trying here,

Sousaku, who I don’t want to talk smack about because he seems to just be a sweet nonverbal autistic kid in the group but this is a Japanese show so even if that’s what they mean they’re not going to say it.

Now you might be thinking ‘hey, that’s kinda mean to say about those two characters and those three other things,’ but this is one of the areas that Pretty Boy Detective Club stumbles. It has a cast of six characters, but is only interested in three of them across five volumes of manga. Don’t worry, there’s still plenty to do with Manabu’s sock puppet accounts across the three-ish cases the manga covers.

These are, I must say, some top tier designs. Like, in the context of Pretty Characters, the characters in Pretty Boy Detective Club are very, very cute, and this manga covers a range of different ways to look good. The crossdressing looks are also really clever in how they incorporate very openly the original designs of the characters, and outfit components that let them hide details of the other identity. The characters also have different body language and stand, sit, and act around a scene in different ways that express different approaches to things.

(And yet they don’t have anything for most of them to do.)

Anyway, yeah, this indulgent manga is great at making indulgent art! It’s really enjoyable! Asterisk!

Next up we have the three mysteries covered by the manga series.

There’s a story about a missing painting on their school property. In this story, there’s a famous artist who it turns out is connected to the school, and an artwork of hers has gone missing somehow. The puzzle of the story is finding out why this teacher left or disappeared, and how she took her artwork with her. The whole of this story is built around considering loyalty to teachers versus loyalty to institutions and the importance of properly funding the arts department in your school.

The second story is about a rival school running an illicit casino, with pretend adult attendants, rigged games, and Sexy Outfits, asterisk. In this casino, our pretty boys play games and win them because they’re so smart, and then they lose a game because the house is running cheated games with special super-technological stealth devices. Dun dun dun! This is done for some nefarious ends about stealing information from the clientele, and if you know me, you know, you know I have beef about this, you know I’m going to be mad because I get mad every time you see a casino being used in a fictional space.

Anyway.

There’s also the story about how Mayumi has super-eyes that she needs to keep contained with her glasses, or she will go blind from looking at too many things, too well, with her too-perfect eyes, like that time she saw a Japanese government satellite doing a nuclear test in space, and therefore is witness to an international violation of multiple treaties. When this information is brought to light by our Detectives it comes out that in fact, Mayumi’s been stalked! Her whole life! To make sure she doesn’t let this information out! And suddenly she’s kidnapped and so is Manabu and Hyouta has to catch them on a bike but then he’s kidnapped and there’s a confrontation and a mystery resolution that happens because someone had money and a helicopter and wizardry, resolving everything. This story also features a really hot evil woman mercenary, so that’s nice.

Are these good mysteries?

No.

They’re really quite bad.

The best one is the art teacher one because the stakes are appropriate, the solution is coherent and there’s nothing they do with just spending piles of money to solve it. The problem and the solution make sense and the actual process of digging into it involves following clues a person left behind, and Sousaku gets to do some things, which is nice. It is, as a mystery story, the best one and the best place to start.

The Casino story is a real mess-up, though not the worst one. It’s a casino written by someone who doesn’t seem to have any interest in understanding how card games work. Frustratingly, they have Manabu sit down to play blackjack, which the narrative describes as ‘the tough stuff.’ Blackjack is one of the easiest Casino games to play. Then they have him describe that he doesn’t know the rules, ‘he’s just memorised some hands.’

That’s not how Blackjack works you ding dong.

It’s silly. It’s very very silly. I hate it when a series tries to use games to tell a story that gets worse if you understand those games. Casinos make money by getting people to gamble. They know they can take losses on any individual because that individual serves as an example of success that other people will use to judge. Games are balanced so the house wins. You know how an illegal casino makes money? It’s not by outsourcing military technology, it makes money by being a ding-dang casino.

And then that whole ‘nuclear satellite explosion’ plot? It’s fantastically silly. It involves the idea of a long-reaching government conspiracy that’s willing to stalk a child for her whole life, and not willing to kill her in the mean time or interfere with her life along the way. It’s this silly kind of honourable vision of an identity for the government, and the mystery is kind of deeply out of context. It requires so many new things to be introduced for the mystery to make sense — like, Japan doing nuclear testing with a satellite in outer space, and for our protagonist to be so good at seeing things she could have witnessed it at four years old.

Know what else makes these mysteries bad?

I’m listing them in reverse order.

This manga starts with the national conspiracy nuclear testing war crimes story and then scales down to an illegal casino run by ninnies and concludes with gosh don’t you miss that cool art teacher? This isn’t good structure. You typically want the start of a story to set the expectations for the rest of that story, and this story explicitly goes in the opposite direction, with the stakes decreasing at every step, with literally the only stakes for the final story being ‘well, I would like to know the answer to this’ rather than any kind of consequences or punishment.

Okay, then that means the mysteries are a disappointment, what else we got?

Alright, I said ‘asterisk’ a few times, and this is where this all comes up.

Way back when, when I wrote about Violet Evergarden, a cool anime series which inexplicably changed the source material to make the protagonist (an obvious adult) claim her age was 14 years old despite something like five years of experience and recovery as a military operative, I did so addressing what I consider ‘the speed run’ of a genre trope we file under ‘anime bullshit,’ which is to say, anime characters, their age, and when they get sexualised.

For the most part I don’t care about anime where teenagers are fucking teenagers because that’s a thing teenagers do and I know as a teenager it’s a thing I wanted to do. What tends to set off alarm bells for me is when a work treats sexual harrassment or objectification as a non-factor, which is why I actually dislike My Hero Academia more knowing that Mineta is around for the very end of the story. When a teacher or adult does this stuff and it’s just kind of meant to be treated as a funny background detail, that makes things worse and so on. Plus, for a lot of anime, the character being ‘fourteen’ is literally nonsense – fantasy kingdom heroes claiming to be fourteen years old despite a lifetime of experience is just in my mind, the author using that number because they think they should, and they’re wrong. It’s at the point where I now consider 14 years old to be a sort of Default Fake Age for anime characters where their life and resources are not explicitly linked to going to school.

If you have two full-time jobs, and a previous career you burnt out of, anime boy, you are not a fourteen year old.

This is however, a surface of Anime Bullshit, because there are depths to it, places it gets worse. Specifically, if an anime wants to centralise its story around a relationship across an age range, or if it wants to bring up things like consent laws. In Transformers: Who Cares there’s a long shot of a card showing the Romeo and Juliet Laws a character keeps in their wallet, which is pretty unnecessary unless you want to focus on it for some reason, and that kind of focus is important to recognise as something a story does as a choice.

Then, phew, Pretty Boy Detective Club really brings up age in weird ways.

You remember how I mentioned that Manabu is a really cute crossdresser? He’s part of the club that directs them to fly their helicopter to the beach when they’re investigating the murder and talks of all his experience being kidnapped and rescued, and then the story tells you he’s ten.

He’s ten.

Again: This is obviously nonsense. He is clearly not ten. Ten year olds do not behave or think like that. I know, I’ve met some ten year olds. I’ve met some really smart ten year olds. They are not encyclopedically constructing multiple crossdressing identities. This is because they are ten.

Okay, okay, okay, maybe it’s one thing, maybe it’s just because the main characters ‘have’ to be fourteen (which they don’t), that means that he has to a whole four years younger than them to make it funny that he’s in charge. He doesn’t attend the same school as them, since, again, they are high schoolers and he is ten and I feel like I’m belabouring this point but I’m just trying to underscore this was a choice. The choice to draw this anime prettyboy the way almost all the characters are drawn and then say ‘by the way, this one’s really underaged?’ That’s messed up.

But don’t worry, the story also touches on how Hyota, who is fourteen, likes to wear shorts, expose his legs, and wants to seduce an older woman. It mentions Hyota being intrusive and sexually harrassing other students as well, and then throws in that one of the characters, Nagahiro, is engaged to a six year old as an arranged marriage. He points out this doesn’t mean anything, but Hyota nonetheless calls him ‘Mr Lolicon.’

It is hard to see the same idea toyed with in three different ways and not go: Oh this is intentional. This is something that the story is indulging for a reason. And I know, knowing this author, part of what’s going on here is a focus on the author’s interests neutrally. This is a series that Goes Some Places and it is, generally speaking, going to be playing around in the genre and conventions of anime. It’s possible to feel the way that this manga is ridiculous about age and go ‘well it’s clearly just nonsense’ and discard that part of the story, in negotiation with it. I might even try and do that! The boys are, after all, hot designs, I would happily steal these looks for characters of my own, and given the elastic nature of anime aesthetics, any of them could work for a character of almost any age range up until they cross the anime threshold of Actually Old in their seventies.

But I kinda wish I wasn’t getting fanservice saying ‘look at this hot child.’

For a premise as powerrful as ‘detective story Ouran,’ I’m sad that Pretty Boy Detective Club is built out of such bad pieces. The mysteries are shaky, the characters are underdeveloped and the structure is a hot pile. Despite all of this, though, I still find the whole project kinda cool, and just find myself hoping for a better version of it.

Anyway, my current hypothesis that holds this nonsense together is that this club is actually at a college and all the characters are roleplaying being anime perverts.
