Summary:

In the distant past, the Guardian of the Milky Way galaxy named Lanancuras began to harbor a desire for more power. Because of his connection to the galaxy, he was able to absorb parts of planets and add them to his strength. As a result, he began invading the worlds he was assigned to protect. In the wake of his destruction, a following of creatures from across the galaxy pledged allegiance to Lanancuras and became known as the Kadrians. Taking notice of his ever-growing power and followers, the other Celestial Guardians confronted him; however, he had become too powerful, and they were defeated. Unable to subdue Lanancuras, the Celestial Guardians each gave up a part of their power and combined it into a single new Guardian, Mushra. In a final desperate attempt, they used Mushra's core by transforming it into a powerful card with which to seal Lanancuras in a prison. The prison was created from the remains of planets that had suffered under Lanancuras' tyranny. Because planets are themselves large beings, their combined strength (along with the power of the card) was able to restrain him. Thus Lanancuras was successfully sealed in a large meteorite.

The meteorite was sent off into the galaxy to be sealed forever. Meanwhile, the way Lanancuras had increased his strength had consequences on the planets of the Milky Way On Earth, around the 22nd century, it was in the shape of a virus that merged with human DNA and destroyed the humans that way. In order to eliminate the virus, scientists worked on combining human DNA with the DNA of animals and other creatures immune to the effects. They succeeded and created a sentient race known as Enterrans (a race of engineered Earthlings) which are based on humans, insects, reptiles, birds, sea creatures, wild beasts, and phantom beasts. Eventually, a cure was found and the human race survived.

However, due to Lanancuras' influence, the Enterrans fought their human creators as well as the robots that worked with the humans, driving the human race to a near extinction state. Luckily, a scientist named Dr. Daigo Tatsuro placed his 4-year-old daughter Yakumo in a sleep chamber in hopes that she would save the human race and find the human sanctuary Shinzo and bring peace back to Earth which was then renamed to Enterra. When the meteor that Lanancuras was imprisoned in struck Earth during the earlier parts of the Human-Enterran War, its fragment had struck an infant Yakumo giving her abilities that she would later discover.

SHIGATSU NO TOKYO WA...(2023, JAPAN)

Episode 7 (The Penultimate Episode)

Thursday July 27, 2023

This episode broke my heart for more than no contact with Ren and Kazuma (SAKURAI YUKI) but instead it's like a new lead stepped in.

Yagami Ryunosuke (FURUKAWA TSUYOSHI) we learn came to Ren's aid after the encounter Ren suffered seeing Kazuma's mother.

He took Ren in. He's Ren's friend from his exile to France. He is the one Kazuma saw with Ren after the awards ceremony. And he clearly cares about Ren.

He hassled Kazuma about sex he had with Ren (all false) but Kazuma believed in Ren and what he told him.

But the heartbreak is where Kazuma learned what Ren went through after Kazuma's collapse.

And am I to believe that Head of HR is going to sexually assault Ren? Please tell me that is not about to happen.

Excellent deconstruction as usual, ECT.

When I watched this, I was swept away by Furukawa Tsuyoshi's performance. I've been thinking about how political gays like Max in Be My Favorite carry a lot of heavy emotions with them all the time, and it was nice seeing a Japanese gay character also carry some righteous anger as well.

Tokyo in April Is...: Bursting the BL Bubble

I haven’t had a lot of time today to read other takes on episode 7 of Tokyo in April is… but I wanted to talk about Ryunosuke and how he bursts the BL bubble around Kazuma in this episode and talk about the righteous anger he has for Kazuma.

I just wrote about Second Lead Syndrome in Korean dramas in a post about Jun & Jun, and I think I have a better grasp on Ryunosuke for this show. Ryunosuke hates Kazuma. He only knows Kazuma through Ren, and Ryunosuke clearly loves Ren. From his perspective, Ren threw himself on the sword of homophobia so that Kazuma could remain naïve and innocent. He has watched Ren continue to suffer for ten years and has tried as best he can to be there for Ren. They have tried multiple times at being intimate and it always ends in failure. From a shallow BL perspective, the height difference between them is perfect!

Then, he meets Kazuma, and he is…exactly the kind of boy that Ren would feel protective of. He’s kind and obsessed with Ren. He’s tall, beautiful, and athletic. He is made of sunshine. He seems completely untouched by what happened when Ren and Kazuma were 15. He doesn’t read as queer to Ryunosuke or Ren. If I was Ryunosuke, I would also doubt that Kazuma doesn’t remember anything about what happened or has no idea what could have happened to Ren. I also get how Ryunosuke would be even more upset.

In Kazuma, everything Ren sacrificed is validated. He suffered so that Kazuma wouldn’t, and he succeeded! Kazuma is fine! He went back to the US and had a normal experience in high school as a member of the football team. He went to school and became a talented professional. He doesn’t carry the scars of growing up queer and feeling different that so many of us wear. He doesn’t even think of himself in terms of queerness. He only thinks of Ren. He is a BL protagonist.

Ryunosuke is understandably irritated by this and feels compelled to challenge and provoke Kazuma. Guys like him can be dangerous in our community. What if he has gay panic later? What if he’s a Russel T. Davies character? Has he ever considered what Ren suffered? Does he know what Ren gave up for him? Ryunosuke has been beside Ren for a decade watching him have panic attacks any time he tries to be intimate, but this jock is the one who finally gets Ren out of that block?

Kazuma cannot remain in the bubble if he’s going to be with Ren as far as Ryunosuke is concerned. He reveals the sordid details of what Ren suffered and forces Kazuma to see the cost of his naivete. I’m not unsympathetic for Kazuma, because he’s been trying to understand what happened for over a decade. Still, I completely get Ryunosuke not accepting that Kazuma didn’t know anything.

This episode left us at a cliffhanger about Ren’s safety, but I genuinely think he’ll be fine based on my reads of Japanese media and dramas. The biggest struggle this episode was in Kazuma having to wiggle around one of Ren’s strict rules to help him. He has to see the ugliness of what Ren suffered and recognize that he’s in a different narrative than he thought.

Ryunosuke is the kind of romantic rival I like, because we know he has no chance. Still, his love for one of the leads forces his rival to change and face something that he wouldn’t otherwise.

Nee Sensei, Shiranai no?/ Hey Sansei, Don’t You Know? 6

Story: 6

Acting: 8

Chemistry: 10

This had a bit of cringe fest for me to it. It’s apparently base of a Japanese manga, which I’m usually all game for, but I really wasn’t feeling this one. I’m not sure if it was the overall fluffiness to it where boy immediately falls for girl just because and follows her everywhere. It’s very fast like instant, instant. Don’t get me wrong the main leads have excellent chemistry together, it’s just the drama lacks a tad bit of a storyline although considering the manga itself didn’t have much material to it either I guess they tried the best they could. They tried throwing some unnecessary conflict in which lead to absolutely nowhere. 🤷‍♀️ Think of it as a corny unrealistic romcom/drama I suppose. It’s not all entirely bad as I’m making it sound. I just like to make aware of the huge humongous layer of cheese it has dangling over it before watching. It definitely won’t be a drama for everyone.
