What is/r ur fave oofuri game(s)

Well I very much loved the Musashino vs ARC game cause yk got to see the ARC boys and overall it was just a good game. It was sorta funny too bc you can literally see Ootagawa being madly in love with Yoshida for like that whole thing💀

But I also really loved the Tosei and Sakitama games bc I love their teams so so much and I just live to see Daichi being a cute little crybaby. The End of the Tosei game was just so sweet like the little hug between Kazuki and Junta was so adorable (I love them sm) and then again they were just good games overall and were fun to watch

Feeling tender about Hanai's internal monologue in episode 26 where he says that if Abe's fuse weren't so short he would have been the one blowing up at Mihashi because it really pisses him off that Mihashi is so surprised when the team is kind to him and that he's so unsure of himself, even in casual things like eating lunch.

It dovetails so nicely with Abe's internal worry that Mihashi hates him before coming to the conclusion that Mihashi doesn't hate anyone. Isn't it lucky that he's surrounded by people who will get angry on his behalf?

No stop poor haruko enomoto, I feel terrible for her 😭

Why? I don't. She never complained about her life with Doppo Kunikida, and she was, by all accounts, devoted to him, so I get the inkling she doesn't need, and wouldn't have cared for, our pity.

I know it feels crass and dismissive, and I understand it's difficult to reconcile agency with the constraints of oppression and societal pressure, but I don't consider her devotion to her husband pitiable.

She chose him, and it certainly wasn't because she needed him (she outlived him by several decades, during which she supported her family herself) or because he was pretty (he was, but so was she) or because he could provide for her (he was broke when he met her and stayed broke for quite some time) or because her parents liked him (no one's parents liked Doppo Kunikida; knowing this, he tried to court her in secret but her mother was suspicious and returned a book he sent Haruko unopened) or because he displayed any semblance of emotional regulation (he showed up drunk and angry to her home when her mother returned the book). Nevertheless, for reasons we don't need to understand, she sent him an amethyst crucifix and an impassioned letter about her admiration for the emotion in his writing, and married him in August.

She found someone worth her devotion in that undomesticated, tumultuous, restless, combative, arrogant, lyrical, mawkish, idealistic, fervent man. She didn't devote herself lightly, but wholly, unflinchingly, no matter Doppo Kunikida's wavering heart. By which I mean his infidelity, sure, but more pressingly, I mean that Doppo Kunikida fretted and lamented and tore at his own hair over the contradictions between his values and his inclinations, his sincerity and his arrogance, his potential and his indirection. Maybe that was part of it; his river could rage and his fire could burn, but she had an amethyst heart that could withstand him, and, at least sometimes, ground him too. He experienced his most tranquil years as her husband, and I don't think that's incidental.

Regardless, I choose to defer to her agency and judgment, and I won't patronize her over choices she made as a whole, thoughtful person based on the impressions of her that Katai Tayama offered Japanese naturalism.

The sum of her life was also not her husband's indiscretion. She was an accomplished and prolific writer, and a supporting member of Bluestockings, Japan’s first all-women literary magazine.

A non-exhaustive list of her works (the titles are VERY roughly machine translated, forgive me):

"Sada-chan" (January 1903)

"Ryori-kai" (June 1906)

"Shuhi" (August 1906)

"Otsuyu" (October 1907)

"Premonitions" (November 1907)

"Tosei" (February 1908)

"Dokuho at Home "(July 1908)

"Bankruptcy" (August 18, 1908 - September 30, 1908)

"Model" (November 1908)

"Shingokoro" (December 1908)

"Grandson" (January 1909)

"News" (January 1909)

"Kohachijo" (May 1909)

Kunikida Doppo and Haruko co-authored "Golden Forest" (December 1909) (includes Doppo's work and Haruko's "Bankruptcy")

"Quail" (December 1910)

"Sister" (June 1911)

"Cat's Fleas" (September 1911)

"Hagi no Yado" (September 1911)

"Osato" (June 1913)

"Sayachidori" (March 1914)

She became the head of her family at the age of 16, when her father died. She worked in a department store, and taught flower arranging. Her second daughter, Midori, took care of her in her final years. Doppo Kunikida died in 1908, but Haruko Enomoto lived until 1962. She lived an entire lifetime without him, before and after him.

Haruko Enomoto was not her husband's unfortunate wife; she was a gem by her own merit, not despite him, but as demonstrated through her steadfastness in their marriage, her intrepid writing career that challenged the literary establishment, and her tenacity through becoming the head of her family twice over.

They also had four children in a relatively short time frame, during some of which he was ill considering their youngest was born three months after he died, so I like to think he at least gave her great dick. Call me an idealist, I guess.

The funniest moments in Oofuri are when two characters are thinking very hard in opposite directions and a third character is not thinking at all. Abe ‘if he’s under orders to watch the fastball then he’s going to hesitate when swinging and we can psych him out.’ Tosei Leadoff ‘well I thought I was trying to hit a breaking ball but it seems like they’re throwing fastballs, we know there’s something different about it so I wonder if that’s their closer pitch.’ Mihashi ‘ouuuuuu Abe is maaaaaad at me :((((‘
