#imari butai ni sake

[astro-can]

wait what butai ni sake is finished??????? I wanted more background on botan and kaoru's relationship 😭and I wanted asahi and imari to get together 😔

[cyouhii]

Just finished reading Butai ni Sake!

This is the closest interaction between Imari and Asahi we've got to a kiss TT

Anyway, I LOVED IT but the final chapter rushed things too much TT I'm sure sensei had a really good reason for giving us that kind of ending and I hope hearing great news about Butai ni Sake someday (˶°ㅁ°)!!

[mirjtsu]

JUST WHYYYYY!

No, really, just why? WHY? Butai ni Sake (Bloom on stage) is my fav Harusono Sho's work and also one of my top series! I'm so sad and I don't really understand the reason. There was so much going on... Whyyyyy!

Also!!! Just look at these two! I love (and someway kin) Asahi so much. And his relationship with senpai Imari was so endearing.

If someone knows why this is happening, please comment or reblog! o(T◇T o)

[sunnnfish]

I know I am a kagihira and sasamiya lover but Butai ni Sake is the one that really changes me every time I read it… probably bc I relate to Oniwa Asahi wayyyy too much but like goddamn if he can do it I can too. Realistic depictions of anxiety and grief and by god whatever is going on between Imari and Asahi gets to me I can’t deny that.

[squealing-for-harusono-sensei]

I wanted to do something for the release of Butai no Sake!’s last volume, but the analysis wasn’t working out, so I whipped up (I say as if it didn’t take hours to make) an Imari and Asahi inspired necklace with what I had lying around

Ramblings about Harusono's works and like friendships and intimacy because I can

I put this under a cut cause it got so much longer than I intended😭

So like I seen some people point out the like weird almost pre romance vibes between sasaki and Hirano. Like I was thinking maybe this just comes from Harusono not being very good at writing friendship and the desire to be closer and admiration without making it seem romantic😭. Because like Butai ni Sake it's about theatre and coming out of your shell and friendship and it's cute and great but then there's like THIS

(these are just some examples there's more though)

AND IT'S LIKE WEIRD cause like it FEELS romantic but it's NOT. It's not meant to be romantic. Butai ni Sake is not a bl and it's not a romance. So then WHY IS IT SO DAMN ROMANTIC?? I feel like this comes from in part due to Harusono's artstyle which is flowery and pretty and light and soft and makes everything a little bit more romantic and the way she draws characters looking at each other with just like pure LOVE in their eyes and even though it's platonic or is not meant to be romantic, it just FEELS so just intimate and romantic.

And it's like this beautiful intimacy of the friendships, Maki and all of Asahi's middle school friends trying to get into the same high school as him because they miss him even though he went ghost, and Asahi and Imari wanting to act together forever and in the future choosing to make a theatre troupe, and Botan just KNOWING all of her friends so so well, the entire theatre club traveling to give Asahi a ride to school so he would be comfortable, Tsumugi and Imari being childhood friends and knowing each other so well that even when Tsumugi says he hates Imari he still wants him around (they need to be studied I swear), Asahi's middle school friends going to see him in the play and being so happy he's doing well despite his changes. These are all just beautiful moments of friendship but like when Harusono writes and draws it, it FEELS more intimate than friendship. It's like these are moments of friendship but the way they are portrayed is just woah.

Anyway back to sasahira lmao😭😭 the whole like thing in the stairwell from the light novel, it IS romantic framing and it's weird cause this is a friendship and they recently met and it shouldn't be as intimate as it feels but it is. ALSO it reminds me of the first chapter in Adachi to Shimamura. Also I feel like we don't talk enough about how like Kagi and Sasaki are kinda similar but also very different but like not that much, but Sasaki isn't Kagi and Hirano isn't Miyano which is exactly why their relationship isn't romantic because they're THEM. (does that even make sense lmao 😭)

BUT LIKE ALSO she does know how to write friendships without them seeming romantic or weirdly intimate because we see that in Butai ni Sake and Sasaki to Miyano, the friendships between Miyano and Tashiro Shirahama and Kuresawa, Botan and Asahi, Ogasawara and Sasaki, Hanzawa and everyone😭, the art club director and Asahi.

And it's now it's like really weird because we have these friendships that don't seem strangely Intimate or romantic and it's like, so maybe that is intentional? And it's like WHY THOUGH?? Or maybe it's not intentional and it's just a result of misinterpretation? I'M LOSING IT OH MY GOSH😭

Okay that's it for now thanks for sticking around to read it if you made it this far, I would love to hear otter people's thoughts☺️

GIVE BUTAI NI SAKE MORE ATTENTION PLS !!Σ(,,> <,,)

I've been reading Butai ni Sake and I'm loving it. The context of the theatre, Asahi's fear, Botan's insecurities, and Imari's eccentric personality, and other aspects... You can really tell all the hard work Harusono did researching on theatre stuff in order to write this story. It is more complex than StM and HtK as the characters have much more background and the plot explores themes beyond prota's relationship.

Well, after all, Butai ni Sake was released in 2020, many years later than other Harusono's mangas, so he/she (srry im not sure about sensei's gender) already had better ideas to build up that could not have been applied before, considering it would break the settled structure of StM and HtK.

I do really thing Harusono's creations deserve getting an anime adaption. I'dwish more people to discover his/her work.

Thank u for everything, Sensei! (ㅅ´ ˘ `)

OK, to finish, look at this

FEEL THE TENSION MUEHEHE
