#and mistuba (no 3)

[theevilthatismokke]

(Disclaimer: my Japanese is basic as fuck so take this with a grain of salt)

Up: “Mood improves when it snows”

Down: “Mood goes down when it snows”

Right: “Good at handling cold weather”

Left: “Bad at handling cold weather”

The Yugi Twins: “It’s snowing!!”

Teru, fidgeting: “I wanna play”

Aoi-chan: “I like quiet, snowy nights.”

Mitsuba (living): “I love the winter scenery.”

Mei-chan (*her health gets worse): “I love all the seasons!”

Nene: “It’s so romantic…❤️”

Tiara: “It’s so fun!!”

Mitsuba (no. 3): “What is snow!?!?”

Natsuhiko: “I want to go skiing with my lady!”

Sakura: “It’s cold.”

Hakubo + Shijima-san: “Whatever…”

Yako: “It’s okay.”

Satou: “I prefer it to summer.”

Tsuchigomori: “I hate it/I really can’t deal (with the cold)”

Mokke: *Freezes*

Yooko: “I can’t play sports outdoors~~”

Sumire: “I’m… fine/I don’t care for it”

Nagisa-sensei: “Kinda scared to drive on snowy days.”

Akane-kun: “I hate it when my shoes get wet because of the snow.”

Kou: “I feel like something’s bad gonna happen…”

(Note: Tsuchigomori’s say “hontou ni muri”, literally “really impossible”, which just means he’s horrible with cold weather. Sumire’s say “maamaa desuno” which can be various things, like “so-so”. Here, it gives the feeling of something shrugging and saying it’s no big deal while clearly shivering from the cold lol

And Hanako and Tsukasa are just literally yelling “SNOOOW!!!” like the 5 year olds they are.)

my problem with owari no seraph's writing, from someone who's been reading it since 2016

finally decided to revive this blog after it sat untouched for years and collected copius amounts of dust.... just ignore my old posts LMAO

anyways, i have a small list of issues that i think i've already posted about before? but i wanted to compile them all, and add on anything i haven't mentioned before.

*small spoiler warning for recent chapters & light novel*

the countless neglected side plots and characters. i understand that every side story will eventually get its time to shine... but when? i don't think i'd have such a problem with it if the comic updated more often, but i understand that kagami has other scripts to write and it takes yamamoto time to draw the beautiful art. but it's been years since we last saw characters like lacus welt, rene simm, seishiro hiragi, chess belle, makoto narumi and horn skuld. i definintely think it's a huge shame that after being present for like, 50 or so chapters, they just... disappeared. hell, last time yoichi's plan to get revenge on lacus was mentioned was over 5 years ago. again, if the updates were faster i wouldn't have such a problem with it taking so many chapters to finally get to the side storylines. but i just feel like it's been way too long at this point... this has already been stated before, but the lack of mistuba, kimizuki, yoichi, and sometimes shinoa's respective stories being addressed is also really annoying. it feels like they've been completely forgotten and neglected and like the comic is just 'mika & yu + extras''. i want to see yoichi get his revenge on lacus, i want to see ferid's backstory, i want to see mitsuba's relationship with her sister branched out more, i want to see chess and horn and how they're relevant to crowley's story, i want to see where narumi ran off to, i want to see kimizuki's storyline with his sister, and i know these will be addressed eventually, but like... when? to add onto this, i feel like new storylines keep being added on without old ones being addressed. the whole thing with mika turning into a demon, turning into a sword, finding out the first's past, and all of that. but then again, it took us years to finally figure out the first's past, so i trust that these side plots will also eventually get addressed! it's just very messy, and all over the place.

2. the same lines being repeated over and over again. i swear to god every couple of chapters they go through the same dialogue of "we're going to revive everyone and save all of our family members and save the whole world" and i just feel like nothing really happens after that? just from chapters 100-130 it's been mentioned SO many times and i just. if i'm missing something i'd appreciate it if someone could just tell me at this point because i really don't see why the almost exact same dialogue has to be said so often. i am perfectly aware that the whole storyline revives around the importance of companionship, friendship, and love, but it just seems futile for the same exact thing to be stated so often. i think when it's SHOWN rather than just being told is really nice, like how krul and ashera's backstory was played out, or how the love between paimon and bael was shown. we can draw our own conclusions and interpret the story differently based on what we see rather than being spoonfed the same information over and over again. ashera basically cursed his sister because he couldn't fathom living without her, and bael ended his life because he couldn't fathom living without paimon. i think when the love and importance of the character's relationships with each other is shown like this, rather than the same dialogue being restated chapter after chapter, the story flows much smoother.

3. the lack of character development. again, if i've somehow missed it then please just tell me because i can't find it anywhere. specifically in yu's case, because it's been YEARS. i will say, in the early volumes of the manga i definitely saw him undergo a huge change, because before he got put in the demon army he had a very sour attitude and refused to make friends. but after he found his new family, he did a complete 180 and made it his life's mission to live for them and do anything to save them, mika included (later on) but again, that was years ago and since then i've honestly been unable to see much change in his behavior. despite the numerous times guren has shown himself to be a shifty, shady person that's hard to trust, it doesn't go through yu's head. even after they had that huge fight around chapter 112, his anger towards guren wasn't even about the fact that guren planned for his family to be murdered by ferid! he rarely listens to mika, and he generally just goes off and does whatever he likes. i UNDERSTAND that this is just part of his character and personality, but my god is it frustrating to watch... i will say though, him bowing to krul and requesting her help to save mika was a nice surprise that i didn't anticipate. i'd really like to see more of that! more of him listening to other characters who desperately try to help him, etc.

4. the way female characters are written and treated. i understand that this is a shounen manga, but the only female characters in the series being used for fan service gets on my nerves a LOT, especially since they're not really that well written in the first place. also the dialogue and interactions between them... i really really hate that majority of the conversations between just shinoa and mitsuba are played off as boob jokes or something when they could be having legitimate bonding moments and building their friendships. like i'm not gonna lie, shinoa is an absolutely FASCINATING character to me. but i want to see the girls interact with other girls outside of topics that have to do with a man or just making boob jokes!!! (i've only read volume 1 of the catastrophe manga,) but going off of that, the way there could've been so much more attention paid to sayuri's character for example but a lot of the spotlight on her just consisted of either a. her boobs being shown or b. somebody talking about her boobs. i'm not gonna lie, one of the first pages of the manga being a naked 14 year old girl was ....?? anyways. and how could i forget about chess and horn! they're vampires that're hundreds to thousands of years old, and they can't even fall in love or feel romantic desire, but the whole blushing thing while getting down on their knees to suck crowley's blood from his finger? chess getting jealous of horn for being able to suck his blood? hello? like... come on. i will say though, i really like how krul's character is written. in my opinion, she's an example of a well written female character.

an additional note that's not criticism: my opinions on the new art style are kinda 50/50... i feel like for the adult/older characters, the tiny eyes and sharper/more realistic features can make them look kinda weird sometimes, especially their front profiles. but for the younger/child/teen characters, i actually really like it and i feel like it suits them! not having their eyes take up half of their faces anymore looks good, and it can also be interpreted as physical growth.

anyways, there are so so so many things that i legitimately love about owari no seraph, so this isn't me just shitting on the entire series. i'm gonna follow it through to the end, and i'm excited to see how that goes! i just think the writing could use.... some work.

[iamhereinthebg]

thoughts on the new chapter?

*salt about tbhk incoming* :')))

I already announced it on instagram but my interest in tbhk have dropped drastically since some time and I was gonna give the manga the benefit of the doubt because chap 104 was okay Ig?

Chapter 105 just showed everything I have been not liking about the writing in tbhk in one chapter youhou

let's go on the positive first!

I adore class 1-A I would die for them

The pages in black and white were cool, the art is perfect as always. Maybe seeing an Akane and Hanako team up would be fire af but with Teru here I doubt it so this is a tiny hope I will put in hell with everything else for now.

I love you Kou and Mistuba

Yokoo is rocking this outfit too. I like the fact that the clock being destroyed just stops everything and everyone's time (like a certain character but who has a limit *COUGHS* probably for this reason Ig)

them

Idk if I am strong enough to go on a full explanation on why my interest dropped since some chapters, this didn't start on this one, this one was just the last straw. I will just show the most obvious choices that I don't like ( my opinion btw this is just the feeling I have while reading, take this with a BIG grain of salt)

I've been reading tbhk for 4 years and I am tired of waiting for stuff the author litteraly won't do anything about and just stay in their comfort zone

No repercussions on the mcs for some choices they made, no repercussions on wounds/stuff that happened which should have need time to heal for the characters or for them to grow, giving us always the same team up so no room for real character/relationship development beside the obvious (and with how slow Hanako and Nene have been going honestly making the same characters always interact doesn't help at all apparently L O L), BIG difference of pacing for characters growth, making the story take always the same route with the same characters being kidnapped and the same ones doing the savings, putting characters in an arc they have no reason to be part of so just making them stand in the background like a caricature of themselves, making characters 'mysterious' or forgetting their character development just to use them as some sort of deus ex machina, and the worst of all:

Making Nene just a reason for Hanako to react and nothing else. No character development for her, no reason for her to be in some scenes, this is just sad to watch at this point. Aoi had this problem at the beginning of the manga for Akane mostly for comedic reason and they had growth, seeing they are putting Nene in this position after more than 100 chapters and her being the mc is just awful.

I honestly just want more diversity in the choices they are making in their writing, and the last chapter proves me that either it will come in a long time or it never will.

At least the art is pretty, and the worst part is that I KNOW AidaIro knows how use setup, they know how to write really good stuff and good characters, complex stories, and it's GOOD. So seeing this in the recent chapters just makes me even more tired x'))

Once again, my opinion, but the way Nene and Aoi are treated in the manga makes me wanna explode. AidaIro are capable of writing good female characters (thank you Mei and Sumire for being perfect from start to end), Aoi and Nene had wonderful time too, so idk why all of this is happening rn tbh. It's just sad.

Maybe the brainrot will come back, I still love the characters, but I really need to take a break from the fandom anyways (not gonna expand on this but oh boy how annoying a part of the fandom is, a lot of people are the sweetest but a part makes me wanna explode, I've been more than 3 years here and I think that the most I can take at this point)

ANYWAYS :DDD idk what I will do with this account for now ^^ I will probably still rb some stuff or post old tbhk doodles I never finished :00 Idk what I wanna draw now probably ocs stuff so I won't post them here I think ^^ I hope everyone is alright yay

[thelunarfairy]

Kinda of a silly question but- How can Mistuba leave school and Hanako can't? From what I remember, Hanako can't leave the school grounds (yes, it's me again-)

Hahahaha hi again :3

So, I think Hanako being sealed has something to do with that. We don't know where he died or how this part of being trapped in a specific place works, it seems that Sakura is also trapped at school.

It's something mysterious, Mitsuba didn't die at school, it was an accident on the way to the market, maybe that has some influence?

Hmm…. it's a good question with several possibilities, you can choose the one you find most plausible.

Portuguese version || Versão em português

Hahahaha oiii de novo :3

Então, acho que o Hanako ter sido selado tem a ver com isso. Não sabemos onde ele morreu e nem como funciona essa parte de ficar preso em algum lugar específico, parece que Sakura também está presa na escola.

É algo misterioso, Mitsuba não morreu na escola, foi um acidente a caminho do mercado, talvez isso tenha alguma influência?

Hum…. é uma boa pergunta com várias possibilidades, você pode escolher a que acha mais plausível.

Love for Yashiro Nene ⍣ ೋ

3/6

← →

Sousuke Mitsuba

Yashiro doesn't know about the human Mitsuba who died, but she does know of the person who’s left of him, the second Mitsuba. That Mitsuba and her are not close friends, but they had their moments. In the Hell of Mirror arc, they were pretty comedic. Yashiro tries to show herself off as the cute senpai Mistuba can look up to, whilst he constantly teases her about her ankles. And then into the Picture Perfect arc they were still pretty fine.

He and Yashiro do overlap often however, more specifically with their relationships wth Kou and Hanako respectively. Both Kou and Hanako have a habit of doing everything themselves, not listening to others and going on impulse. This affects Yashiro and Mitsuba, as they don’t want them to do this and even get hurt in the process, but they just won’t listen. These parallels run even deeper in the coming chapters as Kou becomes more and more like Hanako.

Shijima Mei

Shijima Mei, not the supernatural, only has her appearance in the Picture Perfect arc, and that’s all the screen time she gets, but her impact is still pretty significant, it can also extend to Yashiro. Together Yashiro and Mei are an earnest couple. With Yashiro’s silly and extreme self mixed in with Mei’s curious and determined self, they are fun to read.

Mei’s resolve also parallels Yashiro's. All Mei really wants to do is make the most of her life, to experience everything it has to offer. Mei is, by definition, a damsel in distress. A bedridden girl with only her pencil and sketchbook to keep her company. Yet she still wants to live. Her will can align with Yashiro as she also doesn’t have much to live for, but she carries on. Infact, right after Yashiro meets Mei she comes up with this resolution and gives herself purposes outside of romance. When Yashiro asks if she’s scared, she is, but she continues to pursue a bountiful life.

Mei is significant in the way that she gave Yashiro the idea of turning up her little life not to some evil sea witch or prince, but for herself.

Hyuuga Natsuhiko

At first, Hyuuga Natsuhiko was somebody who Yashiro thought of to be her type, but she was promptly proven wrong as he kidnaps her and gets stuck in a boundary with him. He is also very flirtatious and makes moves on her and on other women despite his infatuation with Sakura. In a way his a counterpart to Teru, they may have been Yashiro’s crush for a while and be popular, but Teru’s a lot more genuine than Natsuhiko. He cares for others and is pretty reliable, not much to say for Natsuhiko though.

Amane Tsukasa

Amane Tsukasa is the main antagonist of the manga. He is childish, immature, and doesn’t care for the people he hurts. So Yashiro does not like him one bit, in fact, she fears him. Tsukasa has been emphasized to be pure evil, or at least a being that comes from it. He is what it means to be a supernatural, and not care for humans nor supernatural. All he really cares about is granting wishes and his twin brother. They don’t have many interactions, but they are connected in the aspect of Hanako and the Kannagi. Hanako is self explanatory, yet for the Kannagi, Yashiro visits the red house where we see Tsukasa, the little boy who dies, and later the Kannagi.

Nanamine Sakura

Out of everyone, Nanamine Sakura is more keen on Yashiro Nene. She is the only one Nanamine says she wishes to be friends with. According to Natsuhiko, she doesn’t say her feelings out front most of the time, but she does with Yashiro. She is especially kind to her as well. When she had to drown in the Tea Party arc there’s a chance that she might’ve sent down Natsuhiko with her, not because she’s annoyed with him per say, but she knew he would at least protect her. Together with how in the later chapters, she gives Yashiro information and tries (and fails) to joke around with her. Nanamine also read books about how to get along with her juniors aka Yashiro.

Between Yashiro and Nanamine, there’s also a sort of understanding. They are both working for an Amane twin, and are regarded as priestesses. Their job is hard and tiring so talking to one and another helped make it a little better. Nanamine Sakura spreads harmful rumors to the Seven Wonders, whilst Yashiro Nene makes new and friendly ones. Nanamine has to use a broadcast to change one’s perception of the Seven Wonders aka using rumors. Yashiro also has the ability, except she doesn’t need a broadcast to get the word out.

Strangely enough the similaires even reach to their designs. Both of them have high stockings, a brooch, bangs, and their hair tied together in the sides of their hair.

[hanako-san]

Hello Are you okay? I've been following you for a while, and I really like your opinions and theories about Hanako-kun. I wanted to share some thoughts I have about the series.

These last few days I've been rereading and rewatching the anime, I was trying to understand Tsukasa's logic after his kiss with Nene (although my first impression was that he did it to trap Hanako) Aidairo has never been so predictable, but neither I believe he will prefer to indulge in the love triangle cliché.

Anyway, I'm not here to talk specifically about the Tsunene kiss, but one of the things that caught my attention when I rewatched the anime and the manga was that when Nene summons Hanako, he says that her desires have a price, ok, we know that, however, he tells her that he got 2 wishes. One of these wishes had the payment for Nene to become Hanako's assistant, but what about the payment for the first wish?

She longed for someone to love, specifically Teru, but when she couldn't, he offered her the "bond" along with the mermaid's curse. The curse happens to everyone who eats her scales, so I don't consider this to have been payment for Hanako, so much so that he doesn't allow the mermaid to come and get her. So I was wondering, what was the payment for Nene's first wish? I imagine Hanako caught her "love." That's because he says that this bond would be the same thing she wanted, someone's love. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought it was interesting that no one talked about this. Hanako seems to have decided that Yashiro would be his the moment they met, so much so that Hakoujoudai purposely gave her the mermaid's scales. What do you think about this?

I'm sorry if the question was a little long, I still have something to share besides that.

I saw in some places people saying that they are curious about what Hanako's boundary would be like, but she has already appeared in the manga and anime, see, when Nene is sucked into the mirror she ends up in a bathroom too, with water on the floor and many shadows of "hands" on the walls, like those that frequently appear near Tsukasa in the playroom. The air also feels thick and gloomy. When Mitsuba takes Yashiro out, we see the number 7 above the door, indicating that that was Hanako's boundary. I'm surprised that Hanako didn't think about the possibility of Nene being in her own boundary, perhaps because he didn't know exactly the objective of number 3, or that in fact it wasn't number 3's boundary that gave access to Hanako's, but rather Mistuba who had this ability to travel across boundaries.

What do you think?

Hey, I'm fine. Thanks for asking, and you? so I did an analysis about it once if you want to read it here If you want me to add something to this topic, let me know ^^ I'm really glad to hear that, you like my opinions and analyzes 😊

Honestly, I think that initially he wanted to use her power for a different purpose, but he fell in love and changed it. I say this because earlier he said that he was looking for the assistant, knowing that she would die, so he must have had a different purpose, but everything changed when he fell in love.

I don't understand why you say that Hanako would have decided at that moment that yashiro would be his when she forced items on him to get what she wants, which is the bond with teru. Hanako took out everything he had and threw it away, not caring what he threw away, and wanted to give Yashiro the Kokeshi doll. yashiro threw it out the window. Nene picked it

She swallowed the mermaid scale herself and it didn't matter that Haku pointed it out. She did it consciously and Hanako wanted to stop her, but she is so obsessed that she doesn't listen and considers herself wronged because Hanako lied to her, who had to take a price for love and wanted to avoid using more power because the greater the wish and power, the greater the price.

he didn't want to give her back she summoned him and he didn't fulfill her wish, as he told the mermaid to wait but she didn't want to, so he used force. Yashiro also didn't want to go with the mermaid, so he protected her too. This is his duty. Yashiro was his 'client' and the person he was supposed to take care of when she was threatened by the supernatural because yashiro is studnet as well. and he is supposed to protect the students. yashiro was now in danger because of her own stupidity. He only saved her.

Why should this prove his decision, because he was ready to leave her twice so that she could live. If he had such a goal of from the beginning, he would let her die. He is fighting for her to live, which would mean their separation, and for him the most important thing is her life and that she lives, if he wanted it otherwise, he would do everything to make her die without caring about her life. He decided to leave her in a false world, he went against his own rules so that she could live. It was wrong what he did, I admit, I don't support it, with Aoi as well but he was willing to do it FOR HER, knowing what he wanted to do and knowing that she would forget about him but it shows that he is ready to do anything to save her life.

But let's say it's like you said. Of course, if he wanted to frame Yashiro because he needed her, he really didn't have to do anything. Yashiro is so stupid that she did it despite his warnings. Either way, she decided her own fate, it was she who connected herself with the supernatural world in order to have bond with teru that was equal to love for her.

Can you really look at it the other way too? Not everything Hanako does is his responsibility for her actions. yashiro also takes responsibility for her own actions that she has to face. Either way, he did it intentionally or not. He warned her and ran towards her to take her scale, but she just held it in her mouth and after his warning, she swallowed it. She would do anything to have a boyfriend, she might even be cursed. If he had any plans honestly, why would he play cat and mouse? He could have given the shell right away and she would have been cursed, but he wanted to avoid this, knowing that she would have to pay a higher price for his services, so he chose the safer option. She makes her own decisions and pays for her own mistakes, just like each of us. She is no exception.

And it may turn out that he did it on purpose. I don't care and I will blame her because he didn't force her to do anything, he wanted to stop her. She was the one who decided to do it. No one else but her. Despite his warnings. Sometimes you pay heavily for your stupidity and your own decisions, and that's what happened to her. It was his duty to protect her, he protected her where she didn't want to go.

Truly despite my feelings. I know when it's her fault and when it's not, so I'm not prejudiced by my feelings for her. I really don't have a problem with it.

-

Border. You could see it reflected in the mirrors and I don't think it's surprising, because the border no. 3 is located in toilet no. 7. The mirrors are territory no.3 so the borders are connected to each other.

You can reach border no. 3 through yako and it is also in the shape of a mirror, and they got there by using the mirrors. Mirrors are a passage, so it is not surprising that the border no.7 was visible in hell's mirrors, because it was the inversion of his border, but still, the entire border wasn't shown.

What I mean is that mirrors won't show the whole thing, we don't know what the border might look like only from the outside or the end/middle, it depends on its location. The mirror will only reflect the part in which it is placed, not the whole thing. This part could even be a transition to its deeper border on the side of the mirrors. I guess. School boundaries have passages through which you can reach other boundaries. But they may also have other connections, such as Yako and the Minamoto temple. I think that border no.7 works the same way as Yako and is related not only to the border of mirrors, but also maybe to the red house?

Maybe a bit off topic, but I believe that everything we've seen so far is related. Like when yashiro disappeared and was kidnapped by this strange thing, and under the red house there were ghosts of girls, so the house must have stood on the place where the minamoto family sacrificed girls and were also a gateway to the world of the supernatural

this is an interesting topic.

Tsukasa kiss is not romantic. know about it. He needs her to destroy the yorishiros, knowing that she wouldn't want it, so he made a deal with her that he knew that she would lose. He kissed her because he wanted to use her skills. I am aware of that, but I always leave myself two or more options so as not to be surprised, and with AidaIro I can expect anything

Thanks for the asking.

[tbhkconfessions]

"Kou shouting <I will save you, (fake) mitsuba.> Is really starting to get annoying.

Why do you want to save him and from what?

He is not your real friend mitsuba, he is a cheap copy of him. Why are you running after a copy? If the real one saw that, would he be happy? To see you running after a fake copy of him?

Real mitsuba was a weak ghost fated to fade away in a short time. *He* went to Tsukasa and askd him to grant him a wish for him not to disappear too soon and for others to remember him and Tsukasa did, resulting in kou and real mistuba to meat and spend time together and become friends that moment. Kou didn't even remember him while his other friend did. I feel sorry for real mitsuba. It's really thanks to Tsukasa for the 2 becoming friends in the first place. If Tsukasa wasn't there, kou would still be like he was at the very start of the manga, knows nothing about that guy who is called mitsuba or whatever. The 2 should thank Tsukasa that they became friends and got to spend time together.

Then, Tsukasa realised mitsuba's real wish is to have a friend, so he changed his rumor and made him become strong so he can stay in the far shore. The more scary his rumor is, the more he will stay in people's memories, the more he will get to stay in the far shore, instead of fading away. Real Mitsuba tried to kill kou to make him stay with him forever in the far shore. When you're desperate to have a friend (in real mitsuba's case), you will be ready to do anything, you will even kill your friend to make him just like you so you can be together forever. But... it failed miserably and he ended up gone for good. You failed to save him kou... from his own desire and wish that is.

The best thing to do in this case kou, is to live to the memory of your friend. He died in an accident after all. You should accept he is dead, just like how you did with your mother, just like his own mother accepted his death. Keep your friend in your memories. Be the friend he wanted to have. A friend that will see him as his friend and remember him. That would make him happy.

Good thing Tsukasa took the price of the wish before... He can now try to make the thing he wanted to try making for so long. He made an artificial human. Kou has no place to go and say he is going to save him from Tsukasa. Really? Are you going to save him from the one who made him? And again, back to the very first question I asked: who is fake mitsuba? Why do you want to save him and from what? He is only a weak ghost, he is not your friend, the 2 are completely different persons. The same goes for No.3 and fake mitsuba, even though the fake has his powers, he is not the original no.3 as a person. He just took his place and powers. fake mitsuba and real mitsuba are not the same, they are not the same person and they will never be, real mitsuba lived and died as a human, while fake mitsuba is a creation born in the far shore by using weak spirits to form it, a creation Tsukasa made using a piece of real mitsuba's soul. It's an ingredient as all the others, one that Tsukasa has every right to use because he earned that thing, as a price for granting a wish. Why are you ignoring that kou? You're going to save a creation from the one who made it? Tsukasa should really go to the police and tell them this man is after something I myself created and he has nothing to do with it, careful kou. Any other things you want to save this fake copy from? It's truth maybe? That it's only a low level and weak spirit that belongs to the far shore? Thist it was never alive before? You want to make become alive in the human world or something? Explain that <I will save you>. It's like telling a cat I will save you from being a cat! What does that even mean? and also, it's not like Tsukasa keeps fake mitsuba as a prisoner or something, he is free to go wherever he wants, he chose to stay with Tsukasa and the other 2 working with him.

Stop being foolish kou and open your eyes to reality, or at least, instead of shouting <I will save you> do something about it. We need actions kou, not only words. Grow up kou." submitted by Anon.

@rapidfur

One thing i liked here was mitsuba seeming to possibly admit hes eaten people? And if not, he is showing at least the slightest sign of being a threat to humans--AKA, Teru's minimum requirement to killing a supernatural. I love how relevant that is here!! Kou's already being forced to contend with his brother's ideals, and he clearly can't accept them. Now if he can only KEEP THIS MOMENTUM GOING maybe he can finally be interesting. :D

I LOVED Mitsuba admitting that!! SO MUCH!! Kou’s always brushed him off as a harmless light ghost, but now that Mistuba’s shown signs of being dangerous… Mitsuba, who Kou can’t let go off, even when he can’t decide whether he sees him as the “real Mitsuba” or not…!

So, yeah, Kou’s gonna have to reflect, to act, to finally do something of substance…!

I… to be fair, I don’t exactly think Kou’s… not interesting. There are some things there that make me curious/hopeful, like the fact that he finds Nene’s screams cute, how horrified and in denial he generally is about the notion that he can be (and is) selfish, his hypocrisy…

He is, however, ridiculously stagnant when compared to most of the other characters and that can get frustrating after a while, considering the amount of screen time he gets as a main character. But I do get that’s also… probably intentional.

That said, I’ll (probably) always think of him as the least charming/interesting/fun character/love interest. He’s pretty annoying… so unattractive, compared to all the other male love interests/characters lol

Also yess weirdly wholesome Tsukasa <3 I saw some people saying Tsukasa was mean or up to something this chapter and tbh maybe??? But a lot of his exchange with Mitsuba came off as... I dunno... nice! A little brutally honest, but that's just how he is. He says it like it is! Mitsuba DID want that snack. Such a great opening scene... it almost stole the show.

...what? Tsukasa was mean? Tsukasa?? was MEAN??

oH!! So, KOU can be an aggressive, violent asshole, but when TSUKASA-

…I guess I can understand people thinking he’s up to something. Everything he does is probably for the sake of either getting to play with Amane or a small step in his grandiose plan to help his brother get laid make Amane happy.

Though I would argue that even with his ulterior motives, Tsukasa’s feelings of curiosity over people’s hearts, emotions and desires, and his joy when people embrace said desires or go through some sort of self-discovery/breakthrough when it comes to understanding themselves… re-reading now, it feels very genuine, a mixture between Tsukasa's child-like curiosity and the Red House Entity's existence rooted in granting wishes.

...But regardless of sincerity and intent of the above, this...

Has Tsukasa treating Mitsuba much softer than he usually does- heck, even softer than Kou treated Mitsuba this chapter (...and, how he treats him in general, if I'm honest). He brings Mitsuba what he needs to eat, points out where the heart is, but doesn't force it on him; he’s quite patient too.

There's something... so sudued about this scene, Tsukasa really cradles Mitsuba's head very delicately... with such a serene, but serious expression... but it’s not meant to… shame Mitsuba, or anything like that. It sorta feels like… ‘I’m not hungry’ ‘you look hungry’, kind of exchange, or even, ‘I’m not happy’, ‘you’re smiling tho’. It really feels as if it’s only meant to be an honest observation.

Sure, it sounds crude when he points it out like that, but, like you said, Tsukasa is brutally honest. Whether that's good or not for Mitsuba's mental state, who knows...

But, yeah, Tsukasa's being oddly wholesome here, the strangest nice boy in the whole series lol.

Actually, I'd argue that's on purpose, a direct contrast to Kou's behavior this chapter.

See, this chapter made it quite clear what I've thought for a while, that Kou's is deeply jealous of Tsukasa- of his relationship with Mitsuba, specifically!! He... almost subconsciously regards Tsukasa as if he were a love rival lol; 'why are you always going to him', 'why do you rely/trust him more than me', and such. He was like this in the PP arc too.

So Tsukasa being comparativately soft and nice, the one who gets to be relied on, by Mistuba, is not only fuel to Kou's insecurities and jealousy , but also almost a confirmation that Kou's perspective on the Tsukasa + Mitsuba dynamic (which he sees as stupid, helpless Mitsuba being tricked/abused/forced into doing anything by evil, heartless Tsukasa) is heavily biased by Kou's own issues (again, mainly his jealousy and inferiority complex).

Of course, Mitsuba makes decisions again and again when it comes to his relationship with Tsukasa, who himself, does seem to make an effort to be a friend. in his own way.

TLDR: Kou is just throwing a jealous tamtrum for most of the chapter, lol

also, unpopular opinion: kou only gets away with this kind of shit in the fandom bc mitsuba's a boy

Some random little thoughts: ch 97

'Low-Level spirit'

This got me laughing so hard. How come Mitsuba 2.0 is a 'Low-Level spirit'? He has all No.3's power. He is mystery No.3 now, isn't he? One of the super powerful seven mysteries. The strongest and most dangerous supernaturals out there.

So, which one is the real truth?

And some other funny thing... How did Mitsuba 2.0 know where Kou lives? Did he follow him without Kou noticing after he left Hanako and went back home? He was hiding somewhere all the time while watching the gang having fun... hmm... guess he was sad and wanted to join them... and have some fun too... -since he is also familiar with Nene-. It's a good thing 'Teru' didn't join them... If he did... I think Mitsuba 2.0 would have ran back to school as fast as he could with his little tail between his legs without even turning to look back. lol

How did he even get to leave school? .............

Did Tsuaksa kinda granted his wish some way or another? well, not in becoming a 'normal' human. But, at least he got to go out to the living world. Mistuba 2.0 must be a little happy? Thanks Tsu! ♡

I wonder how that happened though... can other supernaturals leave the school now... or is this only limited to 'low-level' ones as Teru says? And... why the sudden change now... maybe what happened during the severance has some impact or something...?

.............

To think that Mitsuba 2.0 frears Teru so much... yet he is in front of his own house... Ah.... but... he doesn't know he is Kou'd bro... so... anyway... It's pretty funny. Scared Mitsuba 2.0 is all brave now and walks confidently into the enemies territory.

I wonder how would that play out.

I wonder what his reaction is gonna be when he knows exactly where he is and 'who' is there to welcome him aside from Kou. lol ～

I also wonder if Tsukasa knows where Mitsuba 2.0 is right now... since he was off to see him in ch 92....

[yume-fanfare]

Just read the jshk chapter where they were chatting with Mistubas mother about him you're telling me the boy died on her birthday are you kidding me no. I refuse to believe that no no no. No. <- deeeeep in denial

ITS THEEE WORST THING EVER </3333 it's just one hit after the otherrr. you don't even need potatoes to make curry........... it's just so. wagh

follow up because its been on my head forever. so guys pretty much all the characters i relate heavily to that are canon girls are actually Not. to me <3 so lets go

nene - i mainly use they but also it or she. oh and despite the fact that shes kissed aoi, she still kinda thinks shes straight. tbh she probably wouldve realized she really likes girls if not for all the supernatural shit rn

hanako - not a boy. can have it/she as a treat. did not have time for relationship stuff before dying or even really as a supernatural but. recently realizing he might also like boys

kou - also not a boy but he can keep he pronouns. and they. idk. also did not realize he liked boys until meeting mitsuba. prolly only recently googled can boys like boys. been too busy to dwell further.

mistuba - wait i just realized smth funny. before death - he/they -> after death they/he -> after tsukasa intervention. they/them. this is silly to me. also yeah knew he liked boys for a whilleee. look at them.

aoi - uses she/it because an irl does and ists funny as shit to me haha get it. sorry. also has known she likes girls for a while. whatver is goibg on with akane is exempt from this.

akane - similar to aoi knows he likes boys and his whole thing for her is. smth else. idk pronouns i dont care for him that much. or teru.

teru - speakin of. i domt think he has ever thought or cared abt relationships. i still have no idea whats going on with these two. its something for sure. cant tell you how.

sakura - skipping everyone else. they/them. hasnt had time to think about relationships and also wont let themself.

natsuhiko - prolly genderfluid. idk his sexuality and i dont think he does either he only cares abt sakura. any pronouns ig

theyre all queers sorry. Not sorry. love.

thank you to my lovely friend yves so. of course main number one ship is hananene/amanene. but!

okay i made an image. weirdest poly cule ever lets go. hanako and nene are dating as stated and so are mitsukou. but hananenekou are all qpr. mitsuba is mostly just vibing but also him and nene are besties. aoi is a lesbian with everyone but also her and nene are/were? girl childhood bestfriend situationship. yes they were each others first kiss, no they dont bring this up ever. (no i am totally not basing this on experience....) aoi also has some weird qpr thing going on with with terukane. they bring her on their dates, she enjoys the attention from akane but has beef with teru. sakurahiko are in love, whatever way you take that. hes devoted to her, she cares for him but is scared to get close. they mean so mych to me.

you can ask specifics on any not shown but im prolly indifferent on them. oh right ive seen people ship mei with herself, thats great good for her.
