#Tsuruko

Something I've always thought about when watching AnoHana was how each character must've grown up with their guilt.

You could say that Yukiatsu is a complete piece of garbage.

You could say Anaru is extremely desperate to fit in.

You could say Tsuruko is cold and emotionless.

You could say Poppo is irresponsible and too lax. (Whoever, actually, says this about the man is getting a punch in the face. I know it.)

You could say Jintan is apathetic and an absolute shut-in.

But grief isn't easy to process.

Sure, there are healthier ways to cope but, remember, these characters were around 10 years old when their friend left them. These five who remained kept thinking they could have prevented Menma's death had they done something. ANYTHING.

They distanced themselves from each other because they remembered their memories together and they hurt. How could they not? Those are just memories now. Menma was just a memory now.

What I love about this series is how they let all the characters show the worst sides and best sides of themselves. None of them are perfect. But the final episode allows them to finally express themselves. Express their grief. Express their pain.

It doesn't end there.

The five come to the realization that they've been holding on and tormenting themselves. They have the chance to talk to Menma again but they all don't take it because of their guilt.

When they begin to let go of their guilt, Menma begins to fade away. Her wish wasn't the firework or to make Jintan cry.

She just wanted them to be friends again.

With their guilt gone, the five look to the future with their friend in their hearts knowing that she's been reincarnated somewhere and having the time of her life.

This anime is a classic and still deserves lots of love

From AskBox:

"Bunkyo tribe .... does it felt like a ... tribe that uses magic?

( Toru Akamon please don't die XD )

Hope to see a bunko tribe male character ( petty reasons don't take it seriously ) XD"

I got a subscription to Shonen Jump so I could read the rest of Akane Banashi on your recommendation (no ragrets), but i marathoned it all in three days and now I need other recs for shonen jump manga. I trust your recs, can you please help a poor soul find good stories?

the way this ask has me FLOORED. I am so glad you are enjoying Akane Banashi!!!

I LOVE SHIBATARIAN. BLUE EXORCIST. Even If You Slit My Throat, Kaiju No.8, Witch Enforcer, Tsuruko Returns the Favor*, and Moebana💖

Out of all of them I think Witch Enforcer has the closest Akane-banashi vibes, despite being in a fantasy action genre. Gorgeous art, emphasis on the power of human connection for both good/bad, lovable characters, writes women with respect, fun world building, and as a bonus it discusses restorative justice. Overall a lovely story I wish it didn’t already end 😭

idk if some of these are under ur subscription bc for most of them I simply caught em when they came out and have been reading w/out a subscription, but I think most should be covered!!!! Also I don’t have the app. At least Shibatarian, Kaiju No.8, and Blue Exorcist should be available to you!!!!

*im making a disclaimer for Tsuruko Returns the Favor bc while the manga advertises it as a ~Forbidden Morally Questionable Romance~ that’s not what’s happening at all. Like at all. It’s a fun light hearted story.

I hope this was helpful!!!
