[spxcedreamer]

I didn’t think I was going to rewatch a little bit of Shiki today. Soooo, I drew Kyoshio again.❤️

—

In the anime version, he was 12 years old in the storyline. He survived with his father so he’s 18 now after everything that happened. :3

[giogiostart]

I’ve been reading shiki lately

[graygauze]

He's such a cranky loser I love him

[azrail-secundus]

Shiki — ранобэ, аниме и манга в жанре ужасов авторства Фуюми Оно. Сюжет крутится вокруг деревушки Сотоба, в которой произошла череда необычных смертей. Нечто странное происходит и в давно заброшенном особняке. Тошио Одзаки, директор единственной клиники Сотобы, сначала подозревает эпидемию, однако, расследуя эту непрекращающуюся цепочку смертей, приходит к выводу, что они являются делом рук вампиров, преследующих деревню.

A different last meeting between friends turned enemies.

"

The look on Seishin's face is wide-eyed, shocked. A strange thing to see on his normally neutral visage.

"...Toshio." he says, as if the wind has been knocked out of him.

Toshio takes out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lights one on the nearby flame covering a wall, "Yeah, did you miss me?" The man puts the cigarette in his mouth and inhales, "I think we've both been up to things since the last time we properly saw each other."

Toshio is doused in blood, just like the night they went their separate ways. Seishin grits his teeth, knowing what the other man is here for.

"

(A short AU where Toshio decides to join the search party for Seishin and Sunako, can be read as platonic or romantic Toshio/Seishin.)

Sotoba burns all around Toshio Ozaki. The small, isolated village of barely 1,300 people that had been his home since birth turns to ash before his eyes. Toshio rushes to hide all the Shiki’s bodies he had convinced the other villagers to massacre; before outside authorities see the fire. In an alternate universe, Toshio is asked to hunt down his childhood friend. A monk who had sympathized with the Shiki and was helping their leader escape. He declines. 

In this world, he hesitates. 

He thinks of their little village, overrun with Shiki. People dying or “moving out” every day. A village surrounded by death. Toshio, the village doctor by birthright as the only Ozaki left, has seen so much grief over and over and over again. Grandparents, mothers, sons, fathers, children, infants. Wasting away in merely a couple of days, hypnotized to refuse medical attention. Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone. Gone. Toshio decides he wants to kill the traitorous bastard himself. He finds that he agrees with another Shiki who had tried to kill him a few days ago. Wasn’t it better to be killed by a friend than a stranger?

Toshio goes to hunt down Seishin Muroi with the other men in the forest. He and Ookawa are soon the only ones left as the other men run from the fire. Toshio hears the gasp of a child and the men give chase, losing each other in the dark forest, his only source of light the flames lighting up the night. When the doctor finds the other man again, it's in an old rundown church, already feeding the flames. Arriving in time to see Seishin killing Ookawa to save Sunako Kirishiki. Toshio quickly hides behind the wall. The leader of the Shiki in the body of a child cries and contemplates suicide, ruminates on what she had done to live for so long. Toshio listens in to what he tells Sunako to convince her she was justified in killing humans to survive. His teeth gritted harder with every word, every comforting parole.

But also with the knowledge that Seishin was right.

"Whoever you are hiding behind the door, show yourself or I'll kill you." Seishin says suddenly. He must have waited to finish comforting Sunako before revealing Toshio’s presence.

Toshio tenses up, pressing his back harder against the burning hot wall. He realizes Seishin shouldn't have known he was there. Not within normal human senses anyway. It makes his heart clench with a desperate no not you I can't have lost you to them too- but for only a second. Toshio wasn’t going to stop now. He had killed his own wife after all, and recorded the experiments(torture) he’d preformed on her to prove the existence of the Shiki. He held no regret for it in his heart. Seishin wouldn’t get special treatment.

Toshio realizes he lost Seishin longer ago. Whether the man was turned Shiki or not, the doctor would have lost him anyway. All because of the monk's goddamn bleeding heart.

At the irony, Toshio chokes out a mockery of a laugh as he answers, "Oh yeah? What makes you think you won't kill me anyways?"

There's a pause in the air after Toshio speaks. Seishin would know his voice anywhere, even as the church burns around them. Toshio pushes himself off the wall and puts himself in the doorway.

The look on Seishin's face is wide-eyed, shocked. A strange thing to see on his normally neutral visage.

"...Toshio." he says, as if the wind has been knocked out of him.

Toshio takes out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lights one on the nearby flame covering a wall, "Yeah, did you miss me?" The man puts the cigarette in his mouth and inhales, "I think we've both been up to things since the last time we properly saw each other."

Toshio is doused in blood, just like the night they went their separate ways. Seishin grits his teeth, knowing what the other man is here for.

"You don't have to do this. I wont hurt you if you leave now, but I will if I have to Toshio."

The doctor only grins, taking out two stakes from his bag, "So? What are you waiting for? Aren't you planning on getting out of here alive?" The doctor pauses in mocking consideration, "Or undead I suppose." His eyes drift to Seishin's hand, protectively holding the girl's, Sunako. The Shiki leader. That's all he needs to know to feel not an ounce of regret as he lunges without warning.

Then Seishin is holding him aloft by the neck in half a second, Toshio chokes.

"Don't touch her." the monk growls, actually growls. Toshio supposes the transformation must have changed his character quite a bit. The doctor is unheeding of the hand at his throat and lack of air in his lungs. Though still struggling quite a bit, he tries to injure Seishin with the stake he had not dropped. The doctor wonders at the speed at which his friend had moved. Almost lightning quick. Even the speed the Shiki ran from the villagers couldn't compare; Seishin had scaled half the church in less than a second. The doctor had barely seen him move.

Seishin wasn't like the other Shiki. Toshio thinks and paws at the man's arm. Feeling the still throbbing, if weak, pulse underneath the flesh; no, his friend had become something quite like what Natsuno had shown him.

"You're-" Toshio chokes out, "Jinrou-"

The monk masks his surprise slower than he normally would, "I suppose I am."

"Heh- guess I wouldn't-" The doctor gasps out, "have wanted to die- by any other- hand-"

Seishin frowns and loosens his hold, "And what makes you think I'll kill you? I’m a Shiki but I still care about you."

"I'm your biggest enemy right now. Sotoba won't survive this, I'll spend the rest of my life hunting you down, wherever you go." says Toshio, breathing a little easier.

"Toshio-"

"I'm not willing to let you go so easily, you're going to have to kill me, old friend."

Seishi's grip tightens, "No. I've made up my mind, both of us are getting out of this mess alive."

Toshio scoffs, the doctor’s words are harder to get through his captive throat again, "That- wont be possible, I can tell- you've made up your mind- on whose side you're on. Choose- Kill me now- or live to regret it later. It's all about survival- isn't that what you told Sunako?"

"Curse you Toshio, I won't do it!" There's a hardness in Seishin's eyes that had taken hold of him through all this devastation, "I'm not losing you too, not by my own hand."

"It's not that you're afraid to kill- You killed Ookawa like it was nothing," Toshio glances to the body hanging halfway out of a shattered mosaic window, already eaten by the flames, "As I said: Choose."

Seishin raises his voice, "And I said NO!"

Toshio fights Seishin as much as he can, stabbing him with the stake, for all the effect it seems to have on him. Seishin only looks at him though; with things in his stare the doctor doesn't want to decipher. They stay in a momentary stalemate until Sunako urgently tugs at Seishin's robe, "Please we have to leave now. I don't want to die anymore, you've convinced me. Let's go. Please."

"Maybe you'd rather- the both of us burn to death," Toshio grins with cruelly twisted lips, "Choose."

Seishin looks scared of him, as if their positions were switched, eyes wide but calculating. Then after a second's hesitation, resoluteness in his voice, Seishin speaks.

"I won't."

That's the only warning the doctor gets before Seishin drops him. The other man uses Toshio's surprise to execute an upwards strike to his chin. Hard.

It knocks the doctor out cold.

When Toshio wakes up- five minutes later because Seishin's newly enhanced speed and strength- he's in the back of a moving truck. He is shaken awake by the other passengers. They tell him the man carrying him had jumped in front of the truck. Telling them Toshio was injured and that he had to run back and get more people, but not to wait for him to come back.

Now, as Toshio sits in the back of that truck, smoking a cigarette and nursing his jaw as he watches Sotoba burn to the ground, he wonders how long it will be before he meets Seishin again.

And if by then the man will have made his decision.

[detragallery]

yasuyo hashiguchi in 5C, seishin muroi in 4C, and toshio ozaki in 6A. pretty please.

the ending of shiki was pretty open ended so let me clear this up: they became instagram models and proceeded to slay cunt while the town burned down. hope this helps

[eruverse]

Crying over how Toshio is asexual-coded, especially in the novels. There really is no doubt lol, he really has no interest in sexy stuff with whomever????

He has a smoking hot wife who lives separately from him and whenever she visits she doesn’t even sleep in his (childhood) bedroom, bruh. And of course he has no interest in any women — he’s a doc surrounded by kind and pretty nurses and and has 0 interest in any of them (a far cry from perverted docs I usually know, which is refreshing). Shiki is the most asexual work I know but Toshio as a character ramps it up to 100 ngl.

The funniest thing in the novels for me abt this matter is, tho, nobody believes his lack of interest. Of course he doesn’t advertise his asexuality or anything, and you know how many ppl still treat ace ppls as strange aliens or sth — but the books also imply on sexism against men as overtly sexual creatures, and Toshio receives a brunt of that. The thing about him is that he’s a natural charmer. He’s a badboy, pretty rebellious, extroverted, full of energy and desire etc etc and he is handsome, no one believes he has no interest in getting it on with women 😭

Because he obviously doesn’t get anything out of his wife, his mama keeps thinking he gets it out of random multiple women in the village. Would advise him against acquiring Ozaki bastards. Meanwhile Toshio only looks disbelievingly at her like wtf mom????????????????????? Apparently he’s been accused of this since high school. He’s 31 now.

Yes, considering how sucks it is in his family he also is never eager to reproduce and making his hypothetical child receive the hellish fate of inheriting his family name like he did. So that is a factor. But his lack of interest in the whole action is also obvious.

Dude has me screaming for justice for asexual ppl.

Oh also, were he not ace he would be gay for Seishin fr. That’s a topic for another post.

Best Underrated Anime Group E Round 4: Shiki vs Vampire in the Garden

#E6: Shiki

Vampires and humans cannot coexist in a small town

#E8: Vampire in the Garden

Lesbian vampire & human go on road trip to escape the horrors

#E6: Shiki

Summary:

Life is idyllic and unassuming in the small town of Sotoba, a simple place where everyone knows everyone. However, tragedy strikes when Megumi Shimizu, a young girl with high aspirations, unexpectedly passes away from an unnamed illness. Over the torrid summer months, as more unexplained deaths crop up around the village, the town's doctor—Toshio Ozaki—begins to suspect that something more sinister than a mere disease is at play.

Toshio teams up with Natsuno Yuuki, an apathetic and aloof teenager, and siblings Kaori and Akira Tanaka, two of Megumi's friends, to unravel the dark mystery behind the deaths in Sotoba. With their combined efforts, the investigation leads them toward an eerie secret pertaining to the new family in the Kanemasa mansion.

Propaganda:

Shiki is a horror story about vampires. They need to feed on humans in order to live. They’re a threat to society. We’re all afraid of them. Except it’s not, actually, because Shiki is a horror story about genocide. The vampires and the village are fundamentally at odds: one cannot survive without the complete annihilation of the other. Conflict is inevitable. Conflict is completely justified, in the eyes of both groups. Conflict is still terrifying. Shiki though, is actually a horror story about human nature. You have little choice about whether you end up a human or a vampire. You, dear viewer, and capable of inflicting unimaginable violence and misery, and you will think yourself completely justified. You’re only trying to protect yourself, aren’t you?

Trigger Warnings: Cannibalism, Emotional Abuse, Genocide, Graphic Depictions of Cruelty/Violence/Gore, Self-Harm, Suicide

#E8: Vampire in the Garden

Summary:

During a winter long ago, near-immortal vampires began plaguing the world. As their population grew at an astounding rate, they promptly threw humanity off its place at the top of the food chain. Desperate to avoid extinction, the surviving humans concentrated in their last safe haven—a small city surrounded by an enormous wall. There, they have waged war against the vampires for many years.

In the midst of a particularly brutal attack by the vampires, a human soldier named Momo encounters Fiine, the queen of their enemies. After seeing her try to save Momo's best friend from a rampaging vampire, Momo follows Fiine back to her house. It is there Momo connects with Fiine over their love for music and desire to escape the fighting.

Pursuing that goal of escape, the two decide to journey toward a supposed paradise where humans and vampires coexist—despite being uncertain of its existence. However, Momo and Fiine are being targeted by both races, who they must first evade if they hope to reach their destination in one piece.

Propaganda:

This anime came out a year ago, but I literally never heard of it until earlier this summer because Netflix had it. You guys are SLEEPING on such a good series—it’s 6 episodes so it’s short, but it feels like a whole single film. The voice acting is so fun, the music slaps, the animation goes HARD during fight scenes, and it’s just so so good. The art style is pretty, and the scenery makes me lose my mind, it’s SO pretty. I need to write an essay one day about how VitG uses music to carry the story because wow that is 🛐🛐🛐 Also there’s a goofy looking dog named Connie that continuously appears and serves no purpose in the plot. Love that

Trigger Warnings: Child Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Graphic Depictions of Cruelty/Violence/Gore, Racism, Self-Harm.

Child abuse & emotional abuse for Momo’s complicated relationship with her mother. Also emotional abuse for Fine’s past traumas and current strained relationship with other vampires.

This is a vampire anime, so there’s a lot of blood and fighting. There’s also a drug introduced in ep1 that mutates a vampire horribly.

Racism is human-versus-vampire shenanigans.

Self-harm for a scene where a human attempts to feed a vampire and for drug usage as mentioned above.

Anime recommendation #2

Alright, I have another anime recommendation ready for you.

This time, it's Shiki (2010). It's a pretty underrated anime that will destroy you emotionally, just like Banana Fish (hehe can't stop the comparison sorry) although the themes are vastly different.

In short, it's about a small village in Japan with nothing much going on. That is until a filthy rich family moves into a literal castle on the top of the village's hill.

Just like the castle, the family living there is European and also pretty strange but they try to blend in with the locals.

On the other hand, we have the main protagonist Natsuno Koide, a grumpy 15 year old who also recently moved from the city to the village with his parents.

He seems to dislike everything and everyone but somehow manages to befriend Tohru Mutou who is honestly a very nice guy.

We also have the village's doctor Toshio Ozaki who tries his best to help people recover from a new and unknown illness

Other characters:

Seishin Muroi, childhood friend of Toshio and lives as a monk.

Megumi Shimizu, who desperately wants to live a glamorous life in a big city.

What to expect:

-the OST is absolutely one of the best parts of the show

-the story is amazing: full of mystery, some funny moments, will pull your heartstrings and make you think about philosophical stuff.

-the characters are very interesting and they all add something to the story

-the design of the characters is pretty wacky but it's unique

-the creator is a woman although some female characters look oversexualized

-towards the end it get's pretty gory so keep that in mind

If you saw Shiki, please write below how it made you feel (without spoilers).
