i'd love to hear about manmaru metadede !!! i heard it's really Gay but no one ever details it. not a lot of it is translated too, as far as i know, but i really like it.. any excuse to talk about something you like is good too

NO YEA not a lot is translated and the manga itself is already more niche compared to like, mopupupu so its not too well known. translation efforts have really started picking up the past year though (shoutout to @/kirby-manga-translated they do great work). if it needed to be restated for new followers since i havent tl'd in a while, i know a decent amount of japanese so i read them on my own :)c

shoutout to my guy @/rosakikoza as well for giving me his scans hehe. the majority of images below are his or taken from his scans. the rest are mine

*deep breath* the tangent. im gonna need to put this under a cut dont mind me 😍😍😍 did i say 3 paragraphs? i meant 20. like 20 paragraphs

meta knight is absolutely pathetic and incredibly down bad for dedede this manga. its adorable. multiple people ive talked to or seen have come to the conclusion it seems like he has a huge crush on him. a quick brief for those who dont know but this mangas meta is admittedly Veryyyyy different from how you'd expect a meta knight to be. uncharacteristically friendly and cheerful and. pathetic is really the best word for it. hes kinda a loser. incredibly protective of dedede, he switches between two modes of fussing over him quite a bit and semi-often going into incredible rage bloodlust modes over protecting him or his image (youll see a good amount of jp fanwork depict this version of him as a yandere for that reason)

theres also been more than one occasion where meta knight tries to commit seppuku upon accidently doing something he sees as unforgivable towards his king (its in the chapter i just screenshotted above too, another time he broke dededes clock and freaked out about it). i-. dont consider this a cute ship thing for the record im just stating it to emphasize the extent of metas obsession towards dedede this manga. the mans got Problems...

apart from that, also quite differing from most interpretations of both of them, both of them seem to genuinely really like spending time around each other all the time. it comes off as casually domestic and is very cute...

regardless of my attempts to brief it, i dont feel like im explaining this very well so lemme just show you a frankly ridiculous amount of reasons for why i keep feeling like this mangaka ships metadede

-fake kiss: self explanatory

-fake proposal: also self explanatory

mk: Will you marry me!?

ddd: Yes!

context for this scene is that theyre rehearsing for a play, but actually its later revealed that meta knight is playing the princess while dedede is playing the male protag so im not exactly sure it makes sense that hes the one proposing here. my speculation is that to make the proposal seem legit for the gag they Had to use meta LMAO but thats just my take

also to be noted, right after kirby hears the proposal he immediately runs off and tries to tell everyone the news before ddd+mk stop him and explain that its fake. hes not thrown off or weirded out at the idea that they could be getting married in the slightest. kirby says gay rights Real i love him sm

-this one is from what i call the memory loss chapter:

dedede loses his memories from getting hit in the head too hard. the gang figures out that beating dedede up or otherwise causing him injury causes him to regain some of them back though, to which kirby attempts to harm him with increasingly violent means, much to meta knights horror. mk spends the entire chapter trying to protect dedede from him, and it doesnt work obviously, but after a particularly hard hit dedede remembers everyone again... except for meta knight. to which meta knight gets upset about and lets kirby lay into dedede for real. you see where people get the yandere personality from now right. i dont recall this trait coming out too often but ill talk more about it later

-the whole chapter thats a cinderella retelling with dedede and meta knight. also also self explanatory COME ON LOOK AT THIS ONE. LOOK AT IT.

mk: Y…You're…

ddd: Wow, he's so beautiful!! It's like I'm dreaming…!

-theres the mangaka chapter which is a more recent one

the gang makes manga for dedede. meta knight's manga is about how cool, brave, and heroic dedede is. mysteriously enough however the only thing hes good at is drawing dededes face and nothing else. the implications of this one drive me absolutely insane. is it supposed to imply that meta knight stares at his face all day?? admires his appearance??? he looks at him so much he basically has his face memorized????? HUH???????? theres no heterosexual explanation for this. acting like a teenager with a crush out here got damn

=various images im sharing out of context because they r cute

head pats. holding hands and reaching the goal together. peak.

KNIGHT DRESSUP FOR THE KNIGHT. AHAAHGH

ddd: Hoho, pretty spiffy don'cha think?

mk: Ohh!? It suits you!!

fellas is it gay to shout "OHH! META KNIGHT!!" with a dopey grin on your face upon being saved like a damsel in distress

sometimes meta knight acts domestic as fuck too. his copy abilities as he states are: cook! clean!! and sleep!!!

regarding my thoughts on their dynamic in this series overall, i think theyre absolutely adorable. meta knight emits dog energy in this one. eager golden retriever towards dedede, though dedede has his sweet moments towards meta knight too. (viewing it with a shipping lens just for this post ofc) while meta is the more active crusher, some of the stuff above seems to imply that dedede has feelings in return as well :') they just get along really well too its great. theres a different chapter where they perform as a comedy duo. theyve done plays in multiple chapters. its my hc for these versions of them that they love doing performances of all kinds together and do a lot of rehearsals and writing in their free time...

and the yandere stuff i feel like i should address as well. i try not to take some aspects Too seriously because its to be expected things are over emphasized for the sake of the joke with gag mangas. but oh man the man definitely has problems. he needs therapy. i tried to be transparent in listing those aspects as well so people can make their own conclusions on it But theres one more thing id like to mention regarding that

meta knights personality has been shifting to be different from what i listed, as of the most recent volume. my beloved forgotten land arc... a first for this series in that, while the chapters still retain their gag humor and dont take themselves that seriously, its a serialized story that mostly follows along with the game plot that lasts nearly the whole volume (as opposed to other game arcs in this manga being episodic stories, using the games as their theme rather than a full on setting). with the more serious tone of the serialized story, theres a frankly startling hint of character development i never wouldve expected from a gag manga at the end of it

kirby gets ko'd the first round of the meta knight cup so meta knight joins the meta knight cup instead. turns out when he does that the final boss of the cup is dedede. meta knight Really doesnt want to hurt dedede and so dedede promptly kicks his ass without a second thought and wins the tournament. while the crowd cheers for dedede's victory, meta and dedede have a small talk where dedede tells him he doesnt need to fuss so much about hurting him/him getting hurt. presumably this is supposed to mark the end of meta knights intense overprotectiveness because (its never been clear-cut due to the nature of the manga previously, so its a lil hard to say) dededes shown he can handle himself, or like, isnt some fragile thing. i really hope itll stick around because i think its a great addition to both of their characters. the meta-knights have also been appearing way more frequently as of very recent chapters (ones that havent been compiled into a volume yet) which seem to also hint to meta knight getting more independence to his character from dedede's loyal servant. im very excited to see where it goes :D

and like, last last disclaimer if anyone needed it; even tho i love metadede and i like to see things through ship glasses sometimes i absolutely try my best to keep my biases out of my translations. putting out accurate translations means a lot to me! this entire post is me purposely putting the ship glasses on so please dont take it as "omg metadede is canon in this manga". you know way back when i was the only active translator for this manga someone tweeted at the mangaka on twitter mentioning that there were english translations around and he replied to that person. didnt respond to the fan translation thing specifically but the fact that he could know who i am definitely kinda terrifies me. if anyone goes around saying that his manga is the metadede manga because of me and he even has the slightest sliver of a chance of seeing that i will kill yall fr LOL

[zuura]

This is what I wish for you, everyone deserves to be free in December 😭

This game is really amusing, and the characters are so cute 🥺 there is not really a trope (well, a little bit!), but you can let your creativity speaks! As I am an eternally unsatisfied person, I rebuilt my island like 10 times ahqksbdrb - I wish we could have more free time each days for all of our hobbies, because we have to choose between reading, watching, playing and sleeping and it's always a hard choice 😭 oh do you have any idea of what you wanna play ? 🤭

I can't even imagine how Takemichi would feel 😩 I don't think this manga could have a happy ending either, which is so sad, but hope, only hope 🙃 the recent chapters are chaos, everything could getting worst in one chapter I'm so afraid every tuesday

Yes I do, we have both such great tastes 😏😏 Oh I won't miss to check your favorite characters page then!! My list of favorite is so huge too, I can't even choose one favorite character by manga, like, I have more than 5 characters that I adore for each mangas I follow ahskfksbdb

Btw I know more than half of your favorite characters and *chef kiss* you've definitely good tastes 😏 I don't know about Kono Oto Tomare or even Gintama (really a bit), but I'd be very happy to make any edits of these for you if it makes you the happiest person for holidays ❤️ I have many ideas of what I wanna make for you, the hardest will be to pick one idea asbskdnfg - Do you have any otps you love the most ? And also may I ask you to explain to me (even very quickly) why these otps are your favorites ? ☺️

- Animanga Secret Santa 🎅

IM SO SORRY FOR THE LATE ANSWER😭

Yess it looks so interesting! And I'd be just like you, changing my island every day 😂 I've played Uncharted before and I really like that kind of game so hopefully I'll play the other ones soon and some other games too!!

Yesss every tuesday I fear of what'll happen, especially after the last death😭 it's such a chaotic arc so far and I can't wait to see how it'll go!! *shakes in fear*

I UNDERSTANDDD it's so hard to chose only 1 fave I don't know how people do it!! I dont doubt your list of favs is also flawless😏😏

aaaaaa Santa, Kono Oto Tomare and Gintama are so damn good and full of emotions!! I highly recommend them if you ever got the time! For Kot the manga is better but in the anime you get to listen to the performances! And for Gintama I've rewatched it like 4 times already and it never gets old❤ best anime everrr

I can't wait to see what you chose to do!! I'm really excited to find out who you are bc I love you already❤😂

Ohhhh Ships👀👀 nowadays i'm pretty chill about ships and I like them all and end up shipping all the characters bc of fanart lmaooo but some of my favs are:

-chitowa: (kot) their slow burn romance is built in mutual trust and encouragment and their dynamics, all bickering yet full of attraction and confidence is so beautiful!! They have everything I adore in a ship!!

-bajifuyu: obsessed with them lately! so full of angst but their potential and the absolute trust they had in each other!! *breaks down and cries* recently i read an amazing fic about them and cried sm akdkwlsl

-misawa: (daiya) srsly these 2 make great couple with a lot of other characters too and i love those ships too but ultimately misawa always win bc their relationship since day one is a masterpiece (even acknowledged by the mangaka who says their meeting is shoujolike lmaoo) and it doesnt help that they have the best fanfictions out there 😏

-sherliam: (ynm) red and blue? detective and criminal? Sign me tf up pls akdkwls also their dynamics every time they meet and all recent events have me dying every new chapter aaaa

-aoi x hana: (ao ashi) their relationship made me binge read a sports manga, their ups and downs make you so invested in them and im dying to know how they'll go from here on aaaa

-hakyona: (akayona) an all time absolute best ship and i'll die for them and the unconditional love they share!! their interactions still make me go doki doki (lmao) even tho i've been reading it for five years now! biggest romance ever

-yoh x anna: (shaman king) sk has been one of my old favs for so long and these two and their relationship is unmatched aaaa and their arc is currently airing on the anime so all the feels are back and i scream at the screen every week

-kyoru: their love is so deep and strong and im so glad i got to know about it, it makes you feel you'll never be loved like that yknow aldksldkfle

I'll stop there bc i dont want this to get long (me: oh i dont have many otps! also me: so i love this and this and this and this *never shuts up) but i also love all given main ships and mafuyuki and akigetsu, soukoku, souma (soul eater), kinda ship vanitas with noe and jeanne, yatori, edwin, hananene, nalu, etc etc.

Again sorry for the late reply!! I hope you're having fun❤❤

[jayflrt]

omg hello to my fellow anon who's new to anime!! cant wait to hear about ur anime experiencea as well <33 (esp since my best friend is rlly into anime and tried to get me into it for years and said 'told u so' to my face when I screamed abt spy x family to him 💀)

FRUITS BASKET!! I remember seeing that in my feed too but apparently i Suck at checking things out </3 but omg what's shoujo and shonen? is it like action and romance? that's so interesting omg :0 I've not heard of toilet-bound hanako-kun but it sounds like a rom-comesque (? Is that even a word?) anime!! def gonna check it out :D

but omg I've also been feeding myself with sxf content by reading fanfic on ao3!! I've found some literal GEMS, i kid u not. like some of them could be canon and i wouldn't even bat an eye- they just fit the storyline so well :")

also AAAAAH did u see svt's cb? the mv was so fun and playful, I loved it smmm <3333 my men Vernon, minghao and seungkwan looked sosososo good and all of them SLAYED ARGH!! your thoughts, alice?

sorry for sending sm in an ask haha, but i hope u had/have a great day Alice!!! <3 - anime :)

^^ @ the other anon who’s getting into anime as well 🥰🥰

HAHAH yes fruits basket is v v cute !! :’) it’s a romance but also focuses a lot on family relationships and such 💗💗 it also has the fantasy element so it’s a lot of fun to watch :D i prefer the reboot honestly because it’s a better adaptation of the manga and actually follows the foreshadowing and storyline better, so check out that one if you plan on watching it !!

also shoujo is a genre of anime that’s more catered to audiences that like more romance and fluff, and shounen is a genre catered to audiences that like more action :’) usually the mangakas cater shoujo to females and shounen to males so shoujo leads are usually girls and shounen leads are usually guys :o

but yes toilet bound hanako kun is sort of a rom com !! 💗💗 it’s more fantasy and humor with some romance but it’s rlly fun and cute 🥰 lmk what you think if you end up watching it! also omfg send me those ao3 fic recs por favor because i love good story driven fics 🤩

YES OMGG I LOVED THE MV SO MUCH 😭😭💖💖 _WORLD IS SUCH A CUTE SONG AND I HOPE IT MAKES IT ON THE SETLIST TO THEIR CONCERT BC I WANNA SEE THAT AND CHEERS LIVE SO BAD 🤧 they all looked so good tho omg and shua was soooo gorgeous 💗 i’m still so sad ab jeonghan’s lack of lines but </3 but omg you’re a carat too !! :o who is/are your bias(es)? >:))

omg is caterers x hybe the nct world-esque thing for the hybe artists?? :o i rlly wanna check it out sometime along with &audition !! they all look so cute interacting w each other 🥰 also omg you don’t have to apologize at all !! i love answering long asks :D but have a great day/night yourself!! 🌷🌷
