Hii fang, I wanted to ask you if you’ve read or watched Tokyo Revengers, and if you’ve done a character analysis on Mikey? ? I feel like he’s such a complex character and I’m super interested to hear about your thoughts on him. Sorry if you’ve answered this before or haven’t watched it! I just wanted to ask just in case
i have read all of TR and ending aside im a huge fan of the manga
i love mikey!! i think i've written about him once or twice. if i were to read TR in the good year of 2024, i would definitely yanderify the fuck out of that guy LMAOO.
i think he's ultimately just a very damaged character who i'll always defend. he was very clearly unstable for a lot of the series and his general apathy and immorality in other timelines were because of the overarching and inescapable themes of loss in each one. i think the way a lot of people wrote about him at TRs peak was really unsymapthetic djfjsdkksd.
i understand peoples frustration with him i just find him to be a hugely tragic character because he very clearly wants to be because he often contradicts himself . but most importantly he's my handsome and silly little guy
#return to sender#this might sound odd but he reminds me a bit of getou#in that i think these are both emotionally fragile characters who don't have the right moral constitution to deal with grief#both mikey and getou suffered similar losses resulting in them lashing out as a result of whats ultimately sensitivity#they needed a lot more of a support system to keep them stabilized and the system around them failed them#but i felt that people were especially unwilling to show this sympathy to mikey#i assume that that happened because mikey is a real life example of criminality and lack of social security and infrastructure lol#unlike getou who deals with a very fantastical version of suffering that is unimaginable and thus to many people more forgiveable#whereas the behavior mikey displays through the series is not far from reality basically#so much discourse abt that guy was sooo wild lmaoo#he is my silly little baby#dont take any tr meta seriously though its been like 3 years since ive read the series#but i love that guy
