I Will Be Your Bloom

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

I Will Be Your Bloom (2022, Japan)

Directors: Toshio Tsuboi, Naoki Kato & Yohei Miyazaki

Writer: Erika Yoshida

Mini-review:

Tbh, I didn't like this as much as I expected. It started out fun and everything, but I think it ran out of steam with each episode. The last few episodes were particularly mediocre, with some of the characters suddenly acting like completely different people. It just made no sense to me. Also, I didn't like how they handled the whole "idol in a relationship" thing. It made me feel like the show was saying idols belong to their fans (and the group) and shouldn't even think of having lives, as if they aren't humans like everybody else. I don't know, it gave me a weird, upsetting feeling. On top of that, while I really liked the characters for the most part, the acting was uneven as hell, and sometimes I didn't even know what the female lead's expressions were supossed to mean. Oh, but one thing I did love is the effort the writer made to include queer characters in a way that felt super-positive. I hope other j-drama writers take notes, in this regard. So, overall, it's not a particularly good drama, and I would only recommend it if you're a big fan of any of the actors.

" clearly. " og says it very flatly, eyes as dead as his tone as he looks from twin to twin's mother. they're always up to some shit and he makes it known to not look at sora. no use asking for help lest he want the other two to make it worse.

they really are like one another.

" i get it, i get it. " whatever subliminal message there is about his twin and hanae want to say, something about them wanting him to actually talk to momoi. which is stupid because he already does. and again, his stupid phone is going off again, which he pays no mind to.

" can i stay the night? "

sora nods. ryo's learning. good for him. ryou glances at his twin, smug satisfaction playing on his visage. he pushes himself into a sitting position and sets elbow on the table. " well. because it's momoi-chan, right ? she definitely would have told me if you were trying to teach her too cook. " he glances at his mother, " momoi-chan talks a lot about him. " hanae gasps, " that is so sweet. " ryou nods, sagely. " it's sorta unfair. i was there first -- and then here he comes with all his cute charm , and suddenly, i no longer exist. " he says like he did not just come back from momoi's place. he sighs, dramatically, " i'm just not as cute as momoi-chan, so obviously i would get kicked out. " you know what, sora decides, if ryo decides to kill them both, he'd look the other way.

it's like kise blinks and suddenly, nijimura's in front of him, asking multiple questions. instantly, he feels so undoubtedly out of place, and his gaze lowers as he can only bring himself to look at his fingers. one hand picks at the nails of the other, careful to not chip anything and he breathes out / suddenly someone else is in front of him, too, and he wants nothing more than to be swallowed up by the earth. please, earth, please just split open and take him. he swallows, frowning as he ignores the urge to cry.

just as questions are being asked, the door opens again / in walks og and his attention is instantly grabbed by the scene over with the guy covered in glitter. what?

kise doesn't drink the water he's given, only putting it aside. " i -- i'm okay. " and he is, he's fine. just a little high, just sorta drunk, but he's fine. he's done worse. his mind is on fire underneath all the attention, though. there's a hand on his forehead and kise leans in, licking his lips as he breathes in deeply. " it was just pills, " eyes open and he's squinting through the light. " it was just two. i didn't drink that much. "

" i bet you don't know what the dosage was, do you? " kazuya's still standing at the side of the chair and kise looks up at him, head shaking. kazuya sighs. makoto walks over to tatsuya.

" i wasn't with you when i took it. the first one way when we first got there, before you got your first drink. " and okay, maybe that sounds bad, but it's not that bad. it was a party, people do drugs at parties. " the other one was a bit before you got that call. " kise's head drops, once again looking at his hands, fingers tangling and untangling in loose fabric. he feels ridiculous and suffocated and crowded and cornered and / and / and — he think's he's going to cry.

og watches for a few moments before he makes way for hanae, saying something of a quiet goodnight before he vanishes up the stairs.

" it was a party, that's what people do, " kise whispers it, terrified of judgement. still, he manages to look at nijimura, swallowing. " it's not the first time— " he catches the way senpai's face contorts and kise's certain his heart stops beating / tears instantly forming in his eyes and the need to cry shakes his voice, " you said you wouldn't get mad... "

shuuzou breathes out slowly, and moves his gaze up to the ceiling. " just because you say it in that soft baby voice doesn't mean shit. " he's going to have a heart attack one of these days, and it's going to be one of the kids fault. ryou pauses, and head tilts just enough so kise is in line of sight, and brow quirks. " oh ? " somewhat glossed lips turn upwards into a smirk, " you'd beg me just for a kiss ? just on the off-chance that something more could happen ? would you beg with tears in your eyes ? say pretty please, and everything ? " and killing shot, " would you beg me to love you ? " they stare for only a moment more, before they're turning attention back to best friend, opening his mouth only for kise to say what he took, and ryou nearly breaks his neck, screeching, as he turns away from kazuya to stare directly at kise now. " that's worse right you see how that's worse right ? " " kise ryouta, you took e? " shuuzou says softly, leaving makoto's side to head towards kise whose sitting on the chair, and squatting in front of him, " why on earth would you take e ? how much have you had to drink ? " ryou waves off kazuya's question, " no. the only drug i've ever done is smoked some weed but that's it and that's not really a drug drug. i ordered my own drinks all night and if i left them, i got a new one. " he's not stupid kazuya. ( except he is , because that means he's not aware of exactly how much he has had to drink ) sora sighs, " i represent at least three people in this room currently. there are things that i - as their lawyer - should not be hearing. i'm going to bed. c'mon omma. lets get you upstairs too. i'll wash your hair for you. " she blinks up at her husband, lazy smile making it's way onto her face, before she turns slightly to her sons, " this is why you choose the person that chases after you even if they're younger. " she shakes her head, at her husband, " but no. i'm good. i want all the gossip. " sora pinches his nose, " fine. i'll just pretend i didn't hear it then. " well he tried to get them to go upstairs. she waves her husband off. " when the hell did you take it ? " ryou's moving to also squat down in front of the chair, not even bothering about how the dress brushes against the floor - they have cleaners for a reason, ryou trusts the fact that the floor is clean. for the most part. their hand moving to forehead, to see how clammy the other is, " how much did you take ? " tatsuya nods, " that's a good question, and how did you take it ? "

'Open arms' from epic reminds me of levan and lilia, right about when the fae vs human war was starting. Like levan talking about coexisting and Lilia being skeptical about it

Any musical songs that you connect with book 7, Hana? I would love to hear your brainrots ;)

Hello Anonie 🌺🌷💕

Open Arms is such a good choice for them Anonie. Even the…I guess upbeat tune? Kind of gives the feelings of both Levan and Lilia. We don’t know much about Levan but I can see him having this calming and yet nonchalant demeanor. Who better to get along with Meleanor and Lilia right? (Someone needs to be the logical one in the group 😆)

The lyrics that really hits is “I know your tired of war and bloodshed, look at how you grip that sword, why take when you can give?”

This is exactly what levan was trying to do, he was trying to reason with the humans; the whole reason for his departure on that diplomatic mission.

He taught the fae the human tongue and he kept Lilia’s NRC letter.

He really wanted Lilia to trust others by lowering his guard (Lilia always thinking about others), he wanted to show that “life is amazing, greet the world with open arms, that kindness is brave”

All actions Lilia was able to experience because of the sacrifices of his friends: he was able to travel, he was able to attend NRC, he saw the kindness of humans first hand, he was able to experience the love of two little ones. All of this, because of his family. 🥹😭💞

It might be a bit surprising given how much I love the Epic series but, I don’t know that many musicals besides this one. Not even some of the popular ones like the wizard of oz one.

The ones I do know is the Epic series, Hamilton, and the Phantom of the Opera…from the top of my head.🤔

From Hamilton, for sure I see “History has its eyes on you” for Lilia to his boys.

Another one is “who lives, who dies, and who tells your story” this song I feel is a great song in a lot of combination. Malleus and Silver to Lilia and their parents. The Knight of Dawn and Princess Leia. Lilia and his childhood friends. Just endless combinations.

For the KOD for this song specifically, I feel Eliza would be perfect for both Leia and Silver. I’ll focus on Leia because I fully believe that the King’s Road is based on KOD and who better to spread all the good he has done except Leia? And of course, their son through his actions.

For the Epic series. Yes. Just, yes.

Some songs that I love are:

The Horse and the Infant

I also think that the Underworld saga represents Diasomnia wholly.

No Longer You is a great KOD song as well as discussed here.

So many songs and so many ways Diasomnia and the rest of the twst chatacters can fit?? The potential is chef kiss.

For the Phantom of the Opera, I need to listen to the songs again. Right now, I correlate the Phantom with Malleus because Kazuki Kato’s role 🤣

But of course, the general premise fits Malleus well. The lonely soul who just wants a companion, for someone to understand and love him as does our dragon fae.

Thank you Anonie for sending this in 💞🫂 I’m always happy to know people love to hear my brainrots 🥹🫂💚 it means a lot to me 💕

Shoujo Thoughts - Angel Sanctuary

I finally completed Angel Sanctuary by Yuki Kaori. For me, it's been a long time coming, having watched the OVAs well over a year ago and reading a couple volumes last fall, to finally continuing and completing it within the last couple months. In comparison to the last series I covered (Hana Kimi), this one is a lot more fresh in my mind and honestly just denser content wise. Again, I'll be pretty light on spoilers until the character section.

To get things out of the way, yes this series touches sensitive and weird scenarios, I assume most infamous for it's incestuous relationship between Setsuna (the protagonist) and his sister Sara. This is done for several reasons that I won't really go into for sake of spoilers, but in a manga with heaven and hell and religious themes, they are condemned throughout the entire story. I never really rooted for them or considered their relationship "cute" because of the nature of their relationship always looming in the back of my mind, but the story itself consistently marks their love for each other as a huge sin so contextually it made sense. It wasn't fetishizing their relationship, rather it was a building block for the greater narrative and the result of a curse placed on Alexiel (who Setsuna is the reincarnation of). It's still admittedly weird but I was able to compartmentalize it for sake of continuing and seeing what the story built around it offered. On a whole, this story tackles many taboo or tragic relationships.

This is my first time reading something by Yuki Kaori and it certainly made a big impression. Her art is really well done and detailed, with a gothic-leaning style that at times emphasizes horror and gore. The tone of the series is pretty serious but also is well balanced with humor and lightheartedness. As someone who's not religious or overly informed, I'm sure many of the references went over my head and at times the names of the various places would be hard for me to remember. The story had a lot of twists and admittedly was pretty tragic throughout.

I enjoyed the worldbuilding as well; all three of the realms (Earth, Heaven and Hell) had interesting areas visually and the way things operated in each place was pretty well explained or shown through visual cues. The politics were easy enough to follow while still allowing twists in the plot to occur. It was interesting to see that the inhabitants of both heaven and hell were portrayed as somewhere between morally gray to straight up twisted. It made most of the characters have unique and interesting motivations. There's also a ton of different characters (with varying significance) so I'm sure any one could find several characters that they'd enjoy. Some of my favorites throughout were Kira, Kato, Hatter, Katan, Rosiel, Michael, etc. The mangaka also seemed to have no issue with killing a character off which made it anxiety-inducing for me at times when a character I liked seemed to be in danger because I stopped doubting that she would really kill them off.

I would say my favorite arcs were the Hades arc and the Hell arc, I really enjoyed the look of these places as well as the pacing. Kato was one of my favorite characters so it was nice to see the parts that had a larger focus on him as well as the beginning of Setsuna realizing the possible flaws of his recklessness. Hatter was also a pretty twisted character that made for an interesting arc with a lot of great imagery (the parts with Kurai specifically had nice visuals). I found the story overall to be a interesting fantasy epic that covers a lot of ground. In fact, I feel as though this one would be good to reread at some point to help absorb all the content.

Favorite character (contains spoilers) : Kira

Kira was the character that I found most interesting throughout. He was pretty layered due to his tragic past and all the suffering he went through, which made it hard to tell what his actual motivations were or if he truly meant some of the things he'd say (even when it seemed like he didn't). He was an emotional support for Setsuna (presented as a lot more mature than Setsuna), and it seems like he struggled for a while about whether he was actually attached to Setsuna or just there for him because of his affection for Alexiel, who he has always been chasing. Kira however is also a reincarnation of Lucifer, which creates a lot of issues later on (ruthless murder, seeming betrayal, etc.). Overall, he was the character I would get most excited about seeing because it was hard to tell where his character arc would lead him.

//Sidenote// I found the little sidebar comments from the mangaka in this series amusing. She would say things like "Sorry I killed this character but I wasn't really fond of them" or "Yes this character was specifically created to later die so sorry if you got attached", etc. I had to hunt this sidebar down because I remember finding it funny how she described this ("kind of a gay and dark, perverted story"). Were these characters ever used? I have no idea but it made me laugh.
