Tanbi to Heroine - Literary classics adapted into shoujo manga

I want to talk about the book of my dreams: Mangaka! Sekai Bungaku - Tanbi to Heroine (マンガ化! 世界文学 耽美とヒロイン). It's a compilation of shoujo manga from the 1970s and 1980s which are adaptations of classics from world literature. Each manga has a little introduction about its artist, and the work it was adapted from. Thank you, our Tosho no Ie overlords.

It came out in 2022, and I'm so happy to own this book. After watching Aoi Bungaku and falling in love with what they did with Kokoro there, I've always wanted to see more anime/manga adaptations of literature. Seeing how authors/directors give the works their own interpretations while still staying faithful to the original work, and not trying to do a 1:1 adaptation can be great, as long as they don't jump the shark. Speaking of which, I even liked Gankutsuou despite the bizarre 3D space mecha fights because Edmond Dantès was still there. I can't get mad at it when the director gets the core of the work right.

Anyway, I want to present this awesome book and the manga collected in this volume!

Hagio Moto – Shiroi Tori ni Natta Shoujo (白い鳥になった少女)

Adapted from Andersen's The Girl Who Trod on A Loaf, and first published in Bessatsu Shoujo Comic 1972/12.

Hagio tells the story from the point of view of the girl who becomes a bird at the end of the tale, which is a very nice touch.

2. Mizuno Hideko – Cendrillon (サンドリヨン)

Adapted from Grimm Brothers' Cinderella, and first published in LaLa 1977/9 & 11.

With Mizuno's exquisite art, this Cinderella adaptation is the perfect fairy tale. On the first and last pages Hideko-tan breaks the fourth wall to give us information about the original work, and going "bruh, these are supposed to be tales for kids but some brutal stuff goes on in them. What's with all the mutilations and eye-gouging?!" It's adorable!

3. Maki Miyako – Hanakagerou (花陽炎)

Adapted from Murasaki Shikibu's The Tale of Genji, and first published in Big Comic for Lady 1987/2.

This excerpt is taken from vol. 2 of Maki's Genji Monogatari adaptation, and depicts a scene that doesn't exist in the original work: Hikaru meeting Lady Fujitsubo for the first time. I must say that all that Genji Monogatari Japanese went over my head ;_;

4. Miuchi Suzue – Takekurabe (たけくらべ)

Adapted From Higuchi Ichiyou's Takekurabe, and first published in Hana to Yume 1977/1 & 2. This story is actually part of Miuchi's Glass Mask. In the manga, it was acted in the third act, “Kaze no Naka wo Iku.” Compiled in vol.s 3-4 Hana to Yume comics version, vol.s 2-3 of Hakusensha Bunko, and vol.s 3-4 of the digital ebook.

Conveying the subtleties of the character through the way Ayumi and Maya acts is quite ingenious. We get adaptation-ception with this one, and I loved it. It really made me want to read the book to get to know Midori better.

5. Sakata Keiko – Okisaki to Nemuri Hime (お妃と眠り姫)

Adapted from Charles Perrault's Sleeping Beauty, and first published in Comic Tom 1989/1.

I haven't read Sakata's works, but she always strikes me as being the odd one in the shoujo scene. And this manga just strengthened my conviction. Her adaptation of Sleeping Beauty focuses on the ogre mother of the Prince, and her loneliness. Which is another ingenious way of going about adapting a fairy tale from a completely point of view. Her funny-looking art and humor adds to it.

6. Fumizuki Kyouko – Shiroki Mori no Chi ni (白き森の地に)

You get this color image I found online, because scanning this gorgeous double spread was impossible. And it's in grayscale in the book.

Adapted from Louis Hémon's Maria Chapdelaine, and first published in Bessatsu Shoujo Friend 1977/3.

I had no idea about this story, but wow, Hémon sure lived a life... This story that takes place in Canada feels really comforting. I'm surprised this didn't get an anime adaptation. Sure, it's not long enough for one, but it'd make a perfect comfort shoujo. "Comfort shoujo" as in people dying and the protagonist growing up after being hit by misery and having to make life-altering choices. I can see why this was popular in Japan.

7. Yamagishi Ryouko – Rapunzel Rapunzel (ラプンツェル・ラプンツェル)

Feast your eyes on this color Rapunzel illustration from the Yamagishi artbook I have.

Adapted from Grimm Brothers's Rapunzel, and first published in Bessatsu Shoujo Friend 1974/6.

Queen Yamagishi does not disappoint: We go full psychological and read about how parents ruin childrens' lives by projecting their shortcomings in life onto them, and their twisted sense of "love" can be worse than a sorceress's curse. Prince charming therapy time, baby!

8. Sato Shio – Bijo to Yajuu (美女と野獣)

Adapted from Madame de Beumont's Beauty and the Beast, and first published in Papermoon Shoujo Manga Fantasy Shoujo Manga – 1001 Nights (5.11.1980).

This short yet poignant adaptation really brings out the love in the story. She distilled the tale, and left what touches your heart the most in these 8 pages.

This work was also originally published in full color, and it's so gorgeous that I bought the book it was first published in. I hope to have it within the month.

So yeah, if you need to gift something to your old-shoujo loving friend, you now know what to get :)

Sorry for any ERRORS (late night writing)

Mentions: Foul language, Physical and Verbal Abuse, Self doubt,NSFW,etc.

”Obey my orders! You’re the first born. You didn’t work so hard your entire life for nothing!” Your father yelled. Slapping you in the process. You had a few marks on your arms hence why you wore gloves“Y-yes sir..I understand. Don’t beat me.” You said. “ Alright.” He said leaving the room. You cried still believing his words. One of your maids walked out of the closet where she picked out pajamas and treatment for your wounds. “ thank you.” You said grabbing the clothing and changed into them. “Come sit darling. Treatment time.” She said. Hannis is your personal maid. Always cared for you. You sat down.“ I hope he’s a kind, considerate, strong man. That he protects me. I can’t take this anymore.” You cried. You wish for him be your knight in shining armor. After an hour you went straight to bed. Your dream was wonderful. Dancing in the ballroom surrounded by shining stars. You fell landing on the ground. Seeing flowers around you. You heard a laugh and someone holding onto your hand. You woke up crying. You felt like it would never be . “ Princess breakfast will be ready soon.” One of the maids said. You got up feeling pain but ignored it. You fixed up your hair, light makeup,etc. “ You’ll be meeting him tomorrow. Going on a week vacation. No sexual activity will be tolerated. Sleeping in separate rooms. I expect you to behave.I don’t want his parents to think you’re not suitable.” Your father stated while you ate breakfast. You knew exactly how to act and what to do. The entire day you spent having fun. Painting, reading, playing piano, and most importantly screaming your pain out in the hidden part of the castle you found when you were younger. Tomorrow was finally here.

You sat in silence as the car drove you to the location where you’d vacation. “I’m aware no matter how this vacation ends we’ll marry so you don’t have to up the perfect pink princess act. It disgusts me.” He says. That knight in shining armor wish you had was quickly washed away. “Purple.” You replied, holding your tears back. “Huh?” He questioned fixing his gloves. “ My favorite color is purple. Offend me by saying "perfect purple princess.” You responded. You realized you messed up. “Remember your place.” He gripped your wrist. You yelped.“You obey me from now on.Don’t be such a baby. I’m not gripping hard.” He let you go. “I broke my wrist this morning. I didn’t want to ruin our trip by saying so..I’m sorry Prince Atlas.” You cried silently. Rolling his eyes he huffed. Months passed he was such an asshole,arrogant, disrespectful, abusive. At least not as horrible as your father. This was for the Kingdom. It’s people. It was beneficial for both kingdoms.You walked down the aisle. Wearing your white dress. It was breathtaking. It hugged your body wonderfully. Your guests gasped as they saw you. They all believed the love story. Tears slipped as your father walked you down the aisle. Tears of sadness,yet no one noticed. You and Jack held hands smiling fakely The wedding and coronation went according to plan. “All hail King and Queen Atlas.” Was said by the preacher. The guests and staff repeated. The entire time you were thinking about Prince Charming in your dream. That’s what got you through it all.

Day before the wedding “We expect an heir to the throne.”Jacks mother said. “Yes.” You replied and left the room with him.

After the wedding

In your now shared room. You sat at the edge of the bed dressed in comfortable clothes. “Y/n..I had a talk with a friend last week..it was a rude awakening. I apologize. I abused you..I have to live with the guilt forever. I never put myself in your shoes. You lost your mother..your father abused you for most of your life. You were forced to marry. You have to carry our children without wanting to. I should’ve helped you instead of adding fuel to the fire.” He said while kneeling on the floor. You were angry at everything he did.You want him to feel guilty until the day he dies. “Don’t expect me to forgive you like it was nothing.” You cried then slapped him. He didn’t hurt you at all, not physically or verbally. “Hit me until you're satisfied.” He said. You kicked, slapped and punched him. You threw heels at him. You threw some of your jewelry at him leaving some cuts behind. You threw a lamp at him. It hit him straight in the head.“ The pain you’re feeling is nothing. I’ve dealt with worse pain. This is the only time I gladly obeyed you.” You spoke, slapping him one last time. He silently walked to the bathroom cleaning up the blood from the small wounds you left behind. Honeymoon: The entire month was fun. Playing chess, dancing, horseback riding, swimming, baking,even bungee jumping, etc. Everything that made you both share your innermost self. Open up your hearts to each other. In such a small amount of time. Laughter spread throughout the castle's entrance. Jack embraced you. You both experienced fun. “ I see the honeymoon went well.” Your father spoke. You nodded.“we enjoyed every second of it.” Jack replied. “ The baby will be so cute.” His mother said.“ We decided to wait. We aren’t ready for a baby. Bring lunch to our room.” Jack commented.You guys came back with new versions of yourselves. They couldn’t believe how you rebelled against them.

“Lunch then dance in the ballroom? ” He asked as you walked upstairs. “Lunch, dance, then cuddle and watch a movie.” You responded. “ Anything for you” You blushed. He was getting to you. “ Jack..I like you.” “I like you too y/n.” He responded by carrying you inside the room then shutting the door, locking it. “ Can we try?” You asked, leaving a peck on his lips. “Yeah of course.” Setting you down carefully you bit your lip as he took your jewelry off and unzipped your purple dress. You were nervous yet turned to face him once the dress pooled on the floor around you.“ Beautiful.” Was all said removing his clothing. “there’s no way.” Your cunny clenched around nothing. Slick running down your inner thighs. You quickly laid down on the soft bed. He spread your legs revealing your pussy. His cock hardened. Precum leaking. Pulling your panties off you suddenly got very nervous. He sucked on your pretty little clit stimulating strong pleasure. You moaned and gripped his hair. You moaned and whined. “J-Jack” he loved hearing you moan his name. “I-ha!” He smirked, pulling away, stopping your orgasm. You whined. “You want it baby?” He smirked You nodded. “Beg.” You gave him a death glare“It’s your job to take care of me. Now give me what I want.” You replied pointing at your cunt. He raised his eyebrow loving your attitude and how you were correct. You whimpered as he inserted a finger. He began thrusting it, noticing the blood. He said nothing to not alert you. He added another. “ Deep breaths. Look at me.” You looked directly into his eyes. He guided you with taking deep breaths he thrusted his fingers. Stretchin you as much as he could. After a while you gushed all over his fingers. “ s’good Jack.” He sucked his fingers not caring about the blood. You gasped. “I’m bleeding !? Jack no don’t- its-‘ “It's yummy, baby.” He aligned his cock to your hole. You inhaled as he entered you then exhaled. You cried in pain. He was well aware that no matter the amount of prepping, he would still tear you. He gave you a passionate kiss and rubbed your clit trying to keep you distracted from the pain. It worked because soon after you were acting like such a slut for him. Asking for more and more. “Y-yes just like that.” You said. His cock hitting your g spot. He groaned at how tight you were. “Such a selfish wife I have. Gripping her husband's cock for dear life.” He teased you. You didn’t even care. Didn’t bother to respond. You scratched his back. There was a knock. “U-uh lunch is here my king.” The servant said. “ Can’t you hear -fuck my wife and I are b-busy. Hol- just leave it there.” He responded. You didn’t care that anyone could hear you. All you cared was how your husband was fucking you. “Yes my king.” The servant replied leaving in a hurry. He turned you over. Spanking your ass and pulling you back against his chest yanking your hair. “ Jack!” You yelled, releasing on his cock. He pushed you face down ass up. Thrusting faster and harder making you stupid. Mumbling incoherent words and drooling. Face red and eyes rolled back as he spanked you. “feel so good.” You hear him. He pulled out cumming on your back and ass. He made sure every drip of cum he had to offer was on you.You knocked out. He quickly grabbed a cloth and cleaned you up. “Y/n? Baby you okay?.” He said, shaking you carefully. You woke up and smiled lightly as he carried you to the bathroom. “M’sleepy.” He smiled, setting you on the counter. “I know.” You yawned hearing the bathtub filled. Suddenly you both were comfortably sitting inside. He washed you gently. He knew in the morning you both would be marked up. “I’ll do it.” You said “No darling. I’ve got it.” You use the little energy to yank his cloth to wash him up. He was loved by someone so deeply like he’s always wanted. He loves you just as much Taking things slow was out the window. It’s like you knew each other your entire lives.

After an hour he brought the lunch that was left outside. “It’s cold.” “It’s fine. I always finish every meal that’s given to me.” He fed you giving you a soft look, signifying that he will care for you til the end of time. You cried as he fed you. Turns out he was your knight in shining armor.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 🥳

for this end of the year i would like to do some reflections on the titles i've read in 2024. admittedly, there weren't all that many of them. if i were to say what was the star of my heart this year, it would be a show that was very important to me in my early teenagehood that i rewatched in its entirety and a particular ship that was one of the firsts i felt really strongly about completely consumed me once again. but still, in these final 2 or 2½ months, i sprinted through many manga with the same love i have for them as always and found a taste for doing caps again :D

for starters, i would like to look back just on a couple of manga that i wish had been better. of course, there were plenty of manga i read that didn't quite hit the spot, but for these ones, i had expectations. i had dreams and i wanted to see them soar. but in one way or another, they just let me down.

• onnanoko ga daicha dame desu ka? (ladies on top / is it wrong to get done by a girl?)

—

we don't have to be that dramatic for this one, actually. it's not even that i disliked it, but with a subject such as this one, i was supposed to love it. hand to your heart, how many romantic leading ladies have you ever read that get absolutely turned tf OFF by the usual confident kabedon-like romantic advancements of their love interest? note that i'm not talking about a girl who is unaffected until she starts to have feelings towards that person, i'm talking about actual 'EW what are you DOING?' and genuine desert dry pussy at the thought of having to assume the usual position with someone she already likes/is in love with/is in a relationship with.

the starting point of this manga is really strong. of course, immersed in the culture they are, both mitsuki (our main girl) and shinomiya (our main guy) have self-image troubles to the point of working really extra hard to try to conform in relationships going against their natural inclinations of sexual and romantic roles. i read this way back when there were only a handful of chapters and decided to wait for everything to be out so i could read it all at once and this year was the time for it.

and it was... fine? it was all right. i think this manga, along with many others, got lost in the sauce of non-conventionality until it founds its way back to a safe, tamer version of it. not in an overt, unforgivable way. what i mean is that maybe this was a bit too much of a psa than actual character exploration of a woman getting off on dominating her guy in bed and the actual sexiness of it. i don't mean to just say that it was all a disappointment because this manga had good moments of discovery, but i don't think it came even close to nailing making a story to people that already like the concept, rather than trying to explain itself to the "normal" audience. and for a manga who came to have such a discussion about these topics, it did not go actually deep into dominance and submission itself in relation to the masculine and feminine roles, in relation to certain sexual acts nor did it challenge pre-conceived notions of an act being inherently one thing or the other.

this manga also didn't know what to do with most of its side characters and i will forever be salty that we didn't get a bit more in the alt culture and gave a bit more of a spotlight to the messy ex of the main guy with a bit of a mean streak finding love with the nonbinary bisexual bartender who is clearly in love with her but is a bit stuck on the 'giving advice' position (THIS is what i mean about compelling flawed characters who we'll want to see going at it because they're interesting and have plot around them rather than the perfectly fine couple giving us all a lesson).

one final complaint i just can't seem to shut up about: feminine faces and the lips are freaky as fuck in this manga 😭 (in a bad bad way) am i really the only one completely bothered by the way the faces are drawn? like tf is thissss

it's like her lips go inwards and not outwards 😭 and compared to his face hers is so small it's just weirdd

• ibeon saeng-do jal butakae (see you in my 19th life)

—

i've already talked plenty about this one, but i really thought this was going to be a special one for me and it's painful when it isn't. as i said, i still really liked how jieum (our main girl) is this Being who has had many names and faces and genders which makes her approach things from romance to problem-solving in an unorthodox way. which makes it even sadder that the story didn't lean into her full potential to fit within the parameters of a heterosexual romance manwha. it's pretty much a waste of the charm of the character and their whole backstory (not to mention such refreshing character designs). seoha (our main guy) was done much better, but unfortunately, not enough to save this one from the weak writing. but i will still be grateful for the massive step forward we made in knowing how to write a female character simply longing and wanting to have someone and a male character letting himself be seduced. all of it without ever trying to point at it and "deconstruct back into normalcy". it's just the way they are :)

• watashitachi wa moto joshi desu (we are former girls)

—

when i found this one i was really excited. making boys turn into girls and girls turn into boys is one of my favorite things ever in media. and i don't mean something very temporary or not tied to your own identity like a body swap. imagine one day you woke up in a genderswapped version of your own body? you would have no choice but to evaluate in some way the cross between the equipment you have and how you want to present. how strongly do you feel about it? how do you want to see yourself and be seen by others? plus: the issues of people whom an ordinary cis protagonist might think was so distant from their own reality suddenly have something to do with them. on the hands of the right writer, it's a goldmine.

because of all this complication and because the manga actually was doing good in how the character was adjusting (or not) to their new life, i was ok with overlooking the implication that, because our previous female protagonist woke up in the body of a boy, that they would inevitably be attracted to girls. taking things in my way, i was happy to see it a bit differently. everyone knows testosterone has a way of making you hornier and seeing a "former" girl suddenly facing the attraction she feels towards girls was too interesting of a plot point for me to hang up too much on the heterossexist lens. i've ALWAYS wanted to read the story of a girl turning into a boy (a feminine one at that 🥳) and falling for a GIRL and working out the queerness of it in this sense rather than falling for a guy who will be ok with being gay for her/him.

but maybe that little problem was a warning for things to come. when the manga brings actual medical transition to the table it just did it horribly and in such a callous manner. something to understand about me is that i'm the chillest person in the world towards some queer concepts being done in manga without touching on the queer subtext of it. like oh you want to bring cross-dressing or body swapping, or disguised gender, or plain non-conforming girls and guys without really touching on the queerness or genderqueerness of it? sure, fine by me! i can and have enjoyed plenty of stories that do that.

but the moment you choose to start a conversation about topics explicitly pertaining to us you have started to play ball in our court and we expect you to do the bare minimum. do authors really think they can just take our struggles and our culture and our conversations and dilemmas and try to do some lame "commentary" on it completely out of their ass?? oh you want to use the big boy words and portray the big boy situations? great. but now you've actually gotta know what you're talking about. because this is not just a little detail or a little character quirk, you literally chose to make this a theme of your work. and i'm sorry, but if you're stupid about it, my patience has very hard limits. we have been misrepresented and looked at as freaks long enough for us to be still tolerating this in 2024.

now, to be fair to this manga, i think they try to make some amends in subsequent chapters. but the harm had already been done and they already proved to me they are dumb about it. so i basically gave this one a rest and will pick up again later.

obs: one more manga i read this year that made this same mistake -> seibetsu 'mona lisa' no kimi he. (the gender of mona lisa). have already said a lot about it.

obs2: one manga i read this year who managed to do the concept of genderbodyswapping in the most boring normative way possible -> jun to kaoru (jun and kaoru)

obs3: manga i read this year that felt borderline transphobic at times with their fantasy world puberty blockers that are so so bad for you and dragging the character into what their body is "actually supposed to be like" that just left me kinda uncomfortable -> crystal agassineun namjada (lady crystal is a man)

manga that did the same commentary on puberty blockers but didn't commit the grave sin of being boring so i like it better even though we lost our cute androgynous male character who grew up as a girl as was happy with his female identity -> useon namdongsaengbuteo sumgija (let's hide my little brother)

(going with the promo entry because it has a better synopsis. it's not an oneshot. and you can clearly see how the ML looks as a girl and of coooourse the author couldn't give us a short guy with androgynous traits even if he decided to live as man. nooo he has to be tall and broad shouldered and short haired and boring.

• saraba, yoki hi (farewell, happy days)

—

i had even forgotten i actually read this one earlier this year haha. it's really unfortunate because it has everything in its favour. it's a nicely drawn contemplative story that explores various moments of our characters lives so we can hopefully understand why these siblings are in love with each other. and unfortunately... it just didn't land for me. i mentioned somewhere that while i could see the codependency, nothing was good enough for me to explain why these characters want and need each other romantically or sexually. in a manga where a scene like this exists, i find myself without the right words to explain exactly why because it should be there. clinging to childhood roles and the comfort they provide for each other being so close and with absent parents is a start, but it shouldn't be all there is to it.

i couldn't shake the feeling that these characters are only portrayed as the roles they play - the sister who's got it together and the brother who can't do anything right - rather than any actual peek into their inner lives that rings true and shows true desire and vulnerability. they tell each other at one point or another during their childhood that they like the other and it is basically that and the angst of not knowing how to be together. i can see that she wants to be with him and he wants to be with her, but why? some love stories may not need an exploration of that question, but this one, i mean. come on.

i wish i remembered more to explain better, but i don't ever plan on coming back to it because just remembering how bored i was completely discourages me. (by the way i remember i made a comment about how a friend of the characters and her dad make a better unintentional incest story than the own protagonists of this manga lol)

• gokurakugai

—

i won't say too much here because i didn't read all that much. clearly and obviously, i started reading this manga for this character:

like bro look at her! but unfortunately just what i read was so derivative and cliché i guess. some chainsaw man jujutsu kaisen early bleach and naruto amalgamation that just came across a bit too much like generic shounen to me and i guess this really isn't my genre. i thought i would at least get an interesting partnership between what seemed to be the two main characters, but so far nothing scratched the itch. it's like it's all style, no substance. again, though: as far as i read.

and can i just say. i'm a boob guy, but even i think this was a character design mistake

maybe because i'm a boob person, i like to appreciate a well done instance of bringing out a character's appeal and sexiness by knowing how to draw big boobs, but just putting this on a character with this character design just smells like desperation to put ANY traditionally feminine sex appeal to be ogled at because they just couldn't let her be that cool with her androgynous-inclined fashion style and need to have an obvious "for the boys" trait. you can clearly see when she is drawn with more "usual" sized boobs for a character with her frame that it just fits her better.

honestly, it seems like it's nearly a lost art knowing how to draw big boobs that are actually appealing to anyone who knows a human woman and has lusted after real boobs. you do NOT have to go that far. with the right clothing, you can make boobs of any size look appealing. please stop thinking about character designs of female characters in terms of these obvious easy "appeals" and just do what looks right.

anyway. coming next, the highlights of the year for me!

note: Daryl keeps his promises. A little smut. Fluff. Sugary sweet. Sigh. I love Daryl Dixon.

Promises

The look on Daryl’s face as Maggie places his son in his strong arms will be burned into your memory for the rest of your life. When his wet gaze lifts to yours the look in his blue eyes can only be described as wonder.

“…h-he’s so small…”

As if on cue the miniature version of himself lets out a mighty wail and the archers wonder melts into fear. “Ya think he’s okay?” His voice is quiet and full of worry. “He’s perfect.” Maggie assures, wiping at her own happy tears as Daryl rocks the baby in his arms gently soothing him back to sleep.

Maggie gives you one last check assuring everything looks good before telling you how amazing you’ve done. “You make having baby’s look easy Y/N.” Despite an agonizing eleven hour labor everyone is healthy and Daryl’s fear turns to relief. “He’s going to be hungry soon. I’ll come get him in a little while so you can get some rest.”

Once Maggie is gone Daryl sinks to the bed beside you running his thumb over the babies soft cheek before handing him over. It’s your turn to look at him in wonder, fresh tears pooling in your eyes as you bring him to your chest. “Ya did good today.” Daryl assures, his deep familiar voice soothing the baby as you smile up to him. The love you have for this man is all consuming but now that your son is here you feel your heart expand with the love you have for him. “We did good.” You whisper, brushing your hand over a tuff of soft dark hair. Daryl hasn’t left your side, not today or any day before.

He’s kept his promise to you.

“I love you.”

You meet his eyes again, a deep ache filling your chest as you nod. “I love you Daryl.”

“W-what we gonna name ‘em?”

You look down into your son’s bright blue eyes, running a finger over his forehead to watch them roll back in his head - a sudden smile creeping to his lips. You’ve seen that smile before.

��Daryl.”

“Yeah?”

You look up to the man beside you, your smile so bright it brings on his own - matching the one on the tiny face in your arms. “His name is Daryl.” The archers eyes go wide at the thought as he looks down to the baby in your arms. “He’s going to be your twin. May as well share your name.”

You return your gaze to Daryl Jr. as he drifts off to sleep with a quiet coo as his father leans over to place his lips to your temple. “I love you.” He assures again the words rattling deep in his chest as he leans back on the headboard and brings you into his arms.

X

Five years later.

You look up as Daryl struts into the house with a trail of children behind him. The closest one being his exact replica down to the small leather vest he wears proudly. “No tools allowed in the kitchen young man.”

Daryl Jr. gives you his father’s sly grin, placing the borrowed wrench in his back pocket as you cross the room to grab him up and cover his dirty face with kisses. “Me now mommy!” You place Junior back to his feet and grab up the next one, spinning three year old Sophia around the room as her loud squeals pierce the very earth then you’re smothering her with just as many wet kisses. “Where have you been princess?” She’s just as dirty as her brother.

Thanks dad.

“We helpin’ daddy fix his moto-cycle!”

Sophia produces her own smaller wrench, bursting into a fit of giggles as you narrow your eyes playfully. A second later Daryl is leaning in for his own kiss - sinking his hand into the back of your hair to hold you against him as his tongue brushes your lips for access. “Awww! Daddy kissing mommy!”

Daryl Jr. makes a face with his tongue sticking out as Judith bounces down the stairs behind Carl - pushing blonde wisps of curly hair from her eyes. Once Sophia sees her bestie all thoughts of you are gone and she’s kicking her tiny legs to slide down your body - hitting the floor running.

The borrowed house that Deanna gifted your group all those years ago is much louder now - especially when the whole gang is here, like tonight. You wave to Carol and Tobin as they shuffle into the house and before long everyone is content with full bellies and the sound of children laughing. Your group is scattered through out the house - Abraham laughing with Sophia, Rosita gazing into Gabriel’s eyes. Eugene and Tara are arguing about the rules of some board game they found while Rick runs his hand over Michonne’s growing belly. Little RJ will be here before long bumping Hershel from being the newest baby in the group. You glance over to Maggie and Glenn who are smiling and talking softly as they take turns rocking their fussy boy to sleep.

Then there’s Daryl. You spot him leaning against the kitchen counter with his eyes trained on you and when you smile at him his shoulders relax an inch, nodding to the staircase that will lead you to your shared bedroom. You feel the heat in his gaze, warming you from the inside out as you turn to Carol with wide eyes. The way Daryl looks at you makes your heart race. The idea of getting a few minutes alone with him sending a surge of pleasure through you. Carol gives you a knowing grin - silently assuring she’ll keep an eye on the kids as you practically run to Daryl and take his offered hand.

A minute later your back is against the bedroom door and Daryl is kissing you like his very life depends on it - sinking his hands into your hair roughly as a groan passes between you.

“…fuckin’ need ya.”

Your fingers tighten in his hair as he pushes you into the bedroom - locking the door behind him before he’s kissing you again. That’s a mistake he won’t make twice - Junior still tells everyone he meets the story of mommy and daddy hugging…, in the bed… naked.

You shake the thought as you push Daryl back to the bed, watching him unclasp his belt with the determination only a busy mother can appreciate. It won’t take long for Junior to snake past Carol in search of his favorite person in the entire world - the man beneath you.

You lose just enough clothes to straddle his lap as he grasps the nape of your neck to bring you to his fierce kiss - filling your mouth with his slow tongue and your cunt with his rigid cock. “F-fuck, Y/N.” The deep moan following your name proves that you don’t get to do this often enough, placing your palm to his broad chest as he grasps your hips - working you up and down his length quickly. “F-fuck. M’not gonna last like this.”

A surge of pleasure rushes through you, working your hips faster as Daryl fucks up into you roughly - his head falling back to the bed with a desperate groan. The devotion in his eyes take you over the edge, burying your face in the bend of his neck as you breath him in - moaning against his jaw as he joins you a second later - gripping the back of your hair while he fills you deeply - riding our your orgasm that has your entire body quaking in his embrace.

“T-that was…” You can only sigh with relief as Daryl wraps his arms around you, holding you to his chest while he stays buried deep inside of you. “…so good, Daryl.., you make me feel so good.” His dick throbs inside of you at the thought, his only reply a low grunt as he tries to regulate his breathing. If he were a betting man he’d say you both have less than two minutes before a miniature version of yourselves show up knocking.

Carol is still grinning as you and Daryl make your walk of shame back into the kitchen, both looking properly fucked for the first time in a long time. You try to smooth your hair as Junior runs into the narrow room and wraps his arms around your hips. “Where’d you go mama?” He demands, realizing his dad is standing behind you suddenly. Despite bringing him into this world Daryl Jr. crawls through your legs to get to Daryl Sr., play punching him in the thigh before he’s jerked up into the air and hanging upside down - his wild laugh filling the house. “Stay here with aunt Carol. I need to show your mama somethin’.”

“Are you going to do more naked hugging?”

Daryl gives him a stern look which closes his mouth and straightens his back. Ugh, if only you could be the dad for a day and your children would listen to you like that. He ruffles his son’s hair after sitting him on the table in front of Carol and places his hand to the small of your back, guiding you through the kitchen and into the cool night air.

Daryl slips his hand in yours as you make your way to Daryl’s home away from home - Aaron’s garage. A dim light is on in the corner and the room is cast in shadow as he rummages through the junk piled up on his work bench while you glance around. You take in your son’s handy work - several toy trucks smashed at your feet and a discarded hammer under the bench. Before you can go for it Daryl kneels before you but he’s not looking for the hammer - he’s holding out a shiny river stone in his palm, offering it to you.

“What are you——?”

“Will ya be my penguin?”

Your eyebrows raise in surprise as you meet his nervous gaze, the smooth stone in his hand shining like a jewel in the dim light. “Yes.” You say without hesitation, sinking to your knees before him as he lowers his hand and offers you the stone again. “Jude found a book last week about penguins…, says they give their mates rocks as a symbol of their love…”

Tears rim your lashes as you take the beautiful stone from Daryl, turning it over in your hands as you appreciate the way it shines. “…there’s no one I love more than you, Y/N.” You tighten your fist around the stone and lean forward to kiss him, whispering how much you love him against his parted lips.

You kiss him again as he brushes the tears from your cheeks. “I want you to be my wife Y/N. I want every part of you. I promise to love you more every day.”

…and you know Daryl Dixon doesn’t break his promises.

When zexius come I will get him kisses 💋 😘

Yandere Hikikomori x princess reader

Tw: fluff, yandere platonic mother, possibly the whole family turning yandere after you meet them. Zexius being the proud disappointment of the family. Family banter,

◣────•~❉᯽❉~•────◢

There the hikikomori was hunched over obsessively over a fancy piece of parchment paper from yours truly.

Your beloved husband to be, had his eyeballs repeatedly flickering across that one line of you promising him the chance to smooch those plump lips of yours.

His face flushed, chest heaving from breathing erratically, and lastly a wide smile one might call derange present upon his chapped lips. Gods he looked like he was on a sugar high, until he was smacked out of it.

“What have I told you about standing around looking like a creep up to no good?!“ A pained choked gasp escaped him, rubbing at the back of his head. Throwing a withering glare towards his brute of a mother responsible for his incoming head concussion.

“Yeowch! What’s the big deal ma? I can’t be out around the house being happy or somethin?” Zexius complained, with a small scowl on his lips, it was rare seeing him outside of his bedroom for once. He’d only go outside to fish out your letters, he subscribed to expensive premium Instamail for the fastest delivery.

His mother merely shook her head snatching the letter from his grasp. Practically ignoring her no good lazy son’s whining, “You can be happy, but don’t go scarin your poor younger brothers, you’re supposed to set an example as the eldest Zexi”

The NEET immediately gave the three twerps the stink eye. They were being nosy peeking around the corner. His scowl growing even deeper seeing the mixed looks they gave him.

Wagam of shock not believing that you still saw something in his rat coded big brother. Yeon of amusement for him being reprimanded by their mother as usual. And Ueul with down right disgust at seeing him smile.

“Also If that face you made is what you call happy, then that means I need pray harder for you to not lose my daughter-in-law.” Mooni quipped shuddering remembering that she too almost got a heart attack seeing. Her son looking like a patient that just escaped a psych ward.

“I hate all of you—“ Zexius’s curse was interrupted by his mother’s elated cry. Her eyes sparkling when she saw the sender was from her future daughter-in-law. She squealed and hopped for joy clicking her heels as she called for her husband. “Darling! Come look at this that sweet princess hasn’t come to their senses dumped our son yet after all! We’ve yet hope for grandbabies in the future! Get the expensive wine out.”

“Righty-O sweetheart!” Jakeo hummed, coming up out of nowhere placing a hand upon his sons shoulder. Watching his wife frolic around doing a praise dance for the lord. “seriously it’s a miracle they’re still into you son.” He then leaned in to whisper in a conspiratorial manner, words filled with caution. “Let’s try to keep it that way alright, for all of our sakes. Lord knows what your mother would do…. She’s already planning family trips with the princess.”

“Right, got it Dad thanks for the heads up” Zexius shivered, sure he lived a moto of giving no fucks but he’d rather not piss off the strongest woman in his life. Especially when she’s still in her prime as the head adventurer within the family.

Though the NEET can’t deny how excited he is to show his princess off to the whole world once he’s finally got you in his clutches.

Boothill picks up Robin with his moto and knocks on the door, but Sunday opens it, scanning him from head to toe disapprovingly everything he sees: from the leather pants to those things that look like chains... Are they necklaces? What are they??

Robin going down the stairs as quickly as she can, looking beautiful in a pastel dress with a matching purse. She gives her brother a kiss on the cheek, promising not to be late, and disappears on the horizon, tightly embraced to her boyfriend.

Sunday, extremely worried, thinks he's taking her to some shady place, maybe to something clandestine like he saw on TV 😭😭 but instead they're just going to see a movie, the cheesiest romantic comedy ever. When they come out, Boothill takes her to dinner, and they share a strawberry milkshake, one of those where the straw forms a heart

MHA Chapter 408 spoilers translations

This week’s initial tentative super rough/literal translations under the cut.

1 "与一"と名付けたのは自分に最初に与えられたものだったからだ "よいち"となづけたのはじぶんにさいしょにあたえられたものだったからだ "Yoichi" to nadzuketa no wa jibun ni saisho ni ataerareta mono datta kara daHe named [his brother] "Yoichi" because [his brother] was the first thing given to him.

tagline 1 自分のものにならないのなら… じぶんのものにならないのなら… jibun no mono ni naranai no nara... If he won't become his...

tagline 2 No.408　努努‼︎GANRIKI　堀越耕平 ナンバー408　ゆめゆめ‼︎がんりき　ほりこしこうへい NANBAA 408  yumeyume!! ganriki   Horikoshi Kouhei No. 408 Relentless eyes*!!  Kouhei Horikoshi (*Note: This chapter title is as interesting as it is incomprehensible. "Yumeyume" is a word that means basically "more, extra, whatever it is but PLUS ULTRA," and "ganriki" is something of a meme Horikoshi loves and uses a lot in MHA that refers to eyes bright and extra detailed to the point of being distracting or over-defined. It can refer to the eyes or even just the "power within the eyes" or one's gaze. All together it's basically just some nebulous sort of concept of eyes that are bright/sharp with dreams or effort or toil or just EYES, BUT EXTRA.)

3 弟が彼の元を去ってから おとうとがかれのもとをさってから otouto ga kare no moto wo satte kara Since his younger brother had left him,
