─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──•

Gojo Satoru ♡°

This man will bend either way and by either way I mean he is fine with a tall, charismatic woman who has a mature aura or a short and easily flustered woman. It doesn't matter as long as she is loyal to fault, won't leak secrets, and is impressed with the efforts that he makes for her.

Nanami Kento ♡°

Nanami will love a girl who has a bubbly aura to her. He needs a woman who makes him get out of his comfort zone and try new things with her. Imaginative girls who are constant sparks of creativity and bubbling with excitement. A woman as hardworking as him but will always make time for him.

Itadori Yuji ♡°

Yuji doesn't require much from a woman, as long as she's kindhearted and impressive in her own way. He loves women who are interesting without trying and appreciate him for who he is.

Fushiguro Megumi ♡°

Megumi is the type of guy to like a woman who's firm with her own decisions but not headstrong. A woman who is not swayed by criticism but not arrogant. Since he's a listener, he needs a talkative person that whom he can engage in a conversation. An approachable person with a strong and interesting personality. (Basically a female version of Yuji)

Ryomen Sukuna ♡°

This man is sexist as fuck (He's also sexy as fuck) and if he ever falls for anyone, it would be for a woman whose beauty is unique. She shouldn't be pretty based on stereotypical beauty standards and attractive in her own way. A woman who he thinks deserves to be in the same standing as him. The type that will punch him in the face, doesn't fear getting punched back and makes out with him later on in bed.

I APOLOGIZE IF THEY SOMETIMES GET A LITTLE CRINGE-Y (or a little too cold and boring). i am a 21-year old bitchless (i dont know the equivalent of this word for boys) female living in a weirdly religious and traditional 3rd world country with very strict parents. i have not experienced real romantic love aside from the scenarios i make up in my head. TMI. i am currently crying, sobbing in agony (eventho i know fully well that it’s me deliberately avoiding men bcs im too contented being alone ((I AM MY OWN ENTERTAINMENT))).

i also would like to apologize if i don't always reply to comments under my posts (i am a very awkward person), but i really appreciate all of them!

[kaycode1999]

Hi! Can you please match me with someone from jjk or Naruto?

I'm a female, heterosexual, pronouns she/her.

My personality type is INFP, but I'm more like, an ambivert with overactive imagination,and I tend to yap on and on about animes/books I find interesting. I'm slightly whimsical, laid back and always joking around (only with Friends). But I tend to get emotional over stuff that happens in books. And I don't get angry easily unless it's someone close to me who has offended me. And I'm not good with unfamiliar people, or crowds, and especially men. Maybe even a little terrified of them

My hobby is mostly reading books and listening to music. I sketch, though rarely. My another hobby is writing shitty fanfictions at times.

My ideal type would be.. someone a lot older than me? 😅 And mature, intelligent sort. Preferably with a big build. And it's optional, but I guess he's gotta be sort of a mentor figure.

Okay, that's all! Thank you in advance!

Unfortunately I don’t know anything about Naruto

But I would be happy to do Jujutsu Kaisen

I match you with

Satoru Gojo

He appreciates that you’re a mix of introvert and extrovert just like him

He is definitely extroverted, but all the pressure of being the strongest *from his clan and the jujutsu world* can take a toll. Sometimes he just needs some quiet time to himself to decompress

He finds your overactive imagination entertaining and adorable

He loves it when you yap on about stuff because he’s usually the one doing the yapping. It gives him a break and he just loves hearing you go on about your interests

Loves the whimsy and joking around, and if you can add on to a joke he’s made that’s a bonus

Will pat your back and try to soothe you if you’re emotional about something you’re reading

He likes to tease and annoy more so than anything offensive, but if he does offend you he will apologize

When it comes to crowds or unfamiliar people he has no problem taking the lead if you want

He’ll also hold your hand if you get anxious and need some comfort

I don’t think he’s that into reading but if he sees a book he thinks/knows you’ll enjoy he’s gonna get it

He likes hanging out and listening to music with you

I do think he’s your ideal type. I’m not sure how old you are but he is 28, when it matters he is mature and intelligent, he’s calculating in what he needs to do to protect the most people.

He’s tall so he has a bigger frame

He’s definitely a mentor figure to his students even though he likes to annoy them and act silly a lot of times

[anime97-99]

Jujutsu Kaisen

So I’m actually mad because there’s a lot of manga readers that likes to critic without really knowing what jjk is about.

. They say that Gege is misogynist because there are only a few women and all of them apart of Maki are dead, and Maki is alive because she is like Toji a man. It looks like they are forgotting the whole aniquilattion arc by Maki, yes, the objetive is to show that Maki can be, as a woman, as strong as the most powerful Zenin, Toji, or even stronger, destroying their conservative thoughts. Showing that women and men are equals. And Gege shows diversity with Kirara and Uraume’s characters that I love. Megumi is also probably pansexual because of the way he described his ideal type, which also matches suspiciously with Yuuji’s name meaning unwavering compassion (probably a wrong interpretation because of Japanese use of honorifics)

(Mai could also be bi as shown in jujutsu strolls written by Gege, when she felt attracted to Takada)

If there are a few women in the jujutsu world is because it was said in the manga that the higher ups believe it to be a world of men and Nobara corrected it saying that she is just Nobara and a sorcerer, nothing more nothing less, genre doesn’t matter. But at the same time it explains why there are only a few women because of the conservative thoughts still lingering.

And everyone equally dies, it is more noticiable in female characters because they only are a few. Basically Gege expose discrimination as a existing problem which is bad and wrong and has to change.

. The other part is that jjk has a bad time pace, I have to say that I agree with this. Jjk has a extremely fast pace which has cons and pros. A slow pace story, for example one piece, will let the author to deal with a better development of the story and characters, but can become boring and the story can lose purpose and focus missing the objetive and the meaning behind it. The fast pace makes the story have plot holes because of bad explain story or half develop characters, but can be more entertaining because it goes directly to the important parts.

Now both extremes are bad, and we know that all mangankas doesn’t work alone and the editors play a really important part.

Jjk because of these fast pace has suffer from critics with how Gege plays with emotions and impactful moments, Gege likes to kill characters to show that human lives are “fleeting” as Sukuna said. 

It doesn’t matter if you are the strongest your human nature is volatile like a flower like Yuuji’s name, which contains the meaning of humanity and flower, it is a metaphor that uses Gege the same with the love and the butterfly trapped in the spiderweb.

It is true that it would be better that the pace was slower to take more time with each character, still if you have curiosity you can read the novels and official books which are canon and contain more information, for example that Nobara was trained by her grandmother, which was a sorcerer…

. In jjk there are a lot of fights because first is a shonen manga and second they are constantly being attack for the enemy, and Gege puts a lot of effort in explaining the techniques which are really diverse and interesting, for example I really like Kirara and Hakari domains. My favorite is Megumi domain and Yuuta’s ability to mimic others techniques.

. Jujutsu Kaisen for me is really good and one of my favorites, I have read a lot of different mangas of all different genres and I would say that it’s one of the best in the shonen genre, “Shonen is defined as a genre of anime and manga from Japan that targets young male audiences. However, though they target a young male audience, they are often enjoyable for all ages and genders. Generally, they are usually a little cleaner and focus on action, adventure, and fighting storylines”. Definition of shonen from movieweb

I wish for the author to continue the story, for the end of the series there’s a chance that the villains are going to win or the cm win but the end is going to be sour, Gege said there is no bad and no good characters and I believe that is the case even with Sukuna, most powerful curse=love most twisted curse, and he was originally human.

[fairy-writes]

i saw your match-ups were open again and iʼm here to take the opportunity for a few male match-ups 😌 (even though it makes me feel second hand embarrassments smh) i think i followed the rules correctly,,,,

iʼd like male match-ups for JJK, BSD and fire force

iʼm like, quiet and almost shy around strangers but more energetic with friends (still the “no energy” Type™ tho)

iʼve got a pretty laid-back personality and my way of thinking is down to earth

i like to sleep, read/write (... create ocʼs, lol), paint and go out with friends, especially if it involves food food!!

idk if iʼm supposed to add my personality type (?) but itʼs infj and generally a mix of hufflepuff and slytherin characteristics

if youʼre busy with other stuff, please donʼt feel pressured to write this! :p

Hey friend! You followed the rules great! I hope you like your matchups! <3

Jujutsu Kaisen Matchup: I pair you with… Nanami Kento!

While Nanami isn’t the most outgoing person, he is calm and collected and helps bring you out of your shell when it comes to people you don’t know. He’s your rock. He appreciates your way of thinking and down to earth personality. It’s a breath of fresh air from Gojo’s daily antics.

His ideal date would be going out to a restaurant and having some sort of activity afterward, like a walk on the beach or through the park, so going out for food would definitely be on his list of things to do! In addition, he greatly admires your ability to paint and sometimes asks you to teach him because while he may be a good jujutsu sorcerer, he doesn’t have many hobbies.

Also, I HC Nanami as a Ravenclaw or a Slytherin! So you guys match well in that department as well!

Bungou Stray Dogs Matchup: I pair you with… Dazai Osamu!

A bit of a change from Nanami, but he still loves you just as much! Another guy who appreciates your down-to-earth way of thinking, but on the other hand, Dazai does like to drag you into his playful schemes (not his dangerous ones, though, never those) in bugging Kunikida or Atsushi.

One of his favorite things is to cuddle while he naps (usually during work) or at home when he’s trying to sleep. He sleeps better knowing you’re there and not captured or, worse yet, killed by the mafia.

Also, this man is a Slytherin through and through, but Hufflepuff’s and Slytherin’s make the cutest couples, in my opinion!

Fire Force Matchup: I pair you with… Shinmon Benimaru!

I feel like Benimaru is a bit of a mix of the two men above. He’s not quite as stoic as Nanami but still not as crazy and collected as Dazai. But he has his quirks and ways of showing affection.

Given your way of thinking, he often asks for help with problems when dealing with leading a Fire Force Brigade. He doesn’t make you work persay, but he appreciates your input when filling out paperwork. He also loves your laid-back personality as it doesn’t get on his nerves and even helps keep him calm if he gets particularly riled up.

Now I HC Benimaru as a Gryffindor? I haven’t really thought about it, but he seems to fit the mold! Gryffindors and Hufflepuff’s have an interesting dynamic, so I think you guys fit really well!

[linkspooky]

Your analysis on shigaraki's worldview is 😍😍😍. Who's your fav bnha character btw, and what kind of manga are you into? (i mean as in genre, but my phrasing is terrible at times so idk how to put it all in the last sentence)

My favorite manga in the whole world are the manga that run in Weekly Shonen Jump. I read almost everything that runs in the magazine from week to week. I know that’s not technically a genre, but let’s not arguen semantics. 

And now because no one asked for it, my opinion on all of the manga currently running through Jump that I read. 

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba usually manga in shonen jump slowly get worse over time as they try to stretch their stories out, but Kimetsu no Yaiba is a story that continues to develop on itself and improve the longer it runs. 

The art is phenomenal and has a good balance of when to be silly and when to be drop dead gorgeous. It’s more of an ensemble piece tied together by a big brother trying to save his little sister, and because of that almost every character Tanjirou interacts with is fun and really immediately attention grabbing. 

It’s also a pretty heavy story that deals with death, grief and loss and trying to find life beyond a world that has suffering like that. I’m actually planning to make some meta of it soon, especially with the interactions between Domi and Shinobu. My only real complaint is that it’s deep but not too deep. Usually the demons are always bad and the demon slayers are always good in the end, even if sympathy is expressed for some of the demons. Once again though it does so well in the technical aspects of telling the story it wants to tell. 

My Hero Academia it’s pretty obvious that I like it. The biggest draws for me are the art style and the characters, specifically the villains. Also the idea of a reverse X men world where what are basically the mutants now outnumber normal people and dominate society is a fantastic idea for world building with a lot of options. 

I’ve actually followed Horikoshi’s work for a long time. His two previous works, Oumagodoki Zoo and Barrage both ran in Shonen Jump for a short time before they were cancelled which I find really unfortanate because they both had a lot of potential as well. 

I love both the hero kids and the villains, though sometimes I feel like the villains are more connected to the central conflict of the story than the heroes. It would be nice to see Deku evolve a more radical philosophy then just wanting to save people right in front of him, or protecting the status quo. The heroes should ideally act in response to the villains to create a better world and resolve a problem the villains brought up, but if say the League of Villains were wiped out now another League would be created later because the central problem of the story has not been dealt with. 

Dr. Stone this is a series that almost got cancelled, but was saved by a main character switch. Senku is really likable and unique as a character, kind of a mad scientist archetype who turns out to be the good guy and the hero of the story.

He reminds me a lot of Yoichi from the writers previous work, Eyeshield 21. In that they’re both laughing mad eccentrics who seem like they have little scruples for how they use and treat other people, and yet are surrounded by friends and act as the leaders of their team. They also both have a tendency for strategy over brute strength and like to outwit their opponents. 

The only thing I can say about Dr. Stone is that while the characters are a fun little group of oddballs, they rarely get any deeper than that. The most interesting thing is still figuring out the central mystery of the world and what happened to turn everybody to stone, which is why having Senku as a main character was a really smart move on the series part. 

Yozakura Family This is a new series that I actually really like and hope beats canellation at the two week mark. It’s kind of your basic romantic comedy characters get married in the first chapter promise, but also there’s some really strong character writing with the older brother. He’s one of the few examples of the obsessive and overprotective brother type that was portrayed as actually abusive and damaging for seeing his younger sister that way. 

The premise also reminds me a lot of Katekyo Hitman Reborn, just suddenly getting sucked into the underworld of spies and crimminals when you’re an unlucky loser with no social skills. If the character writing is as strong as it is for the brother I can definitely see a lot of improvement and staying power. 

The Promised Neverland the smartest written series in Shonen Jump write now with the best ideas. The Promised Neverland is all about theme, theme, theme, theme, which is why someone like me who devours stories for their nutritious value and content loves it. 

While there are only about three major characters with arcs that matter to the plot, Norman, Ray, and Emma they are some of the deepest characters in shonen jump currently and the complexity of their relationship and the way they all foil each other is superb.

It’s a story about children trying to escape a neverland where they can never grow up, and live in a world that never wanted them alive. Not only is it just about them though, it’s also about adults who are still inside the system and gave up at one point or another and decided to just live in the evil world rather than change it. It’s a deep story but it’s also undeniably shonen jump, the central theme is about not giving up even in a world that is determined to deny your existence. 

Act Age If you’ve read Chihayafuru this manga has a lot in common with that, because both of them are about very singleminded girls with complex emotions that they themselves don’t understand, finding themselves completely enveloped in a niche hobby to the point of obsession. 

Act-Age is a story that’s primarily about storytelling and the nature of stories themselves, with each arc focusing on an adaptation of either a movie made up for the sake of the story or a pre-written play ie, Journey to the West, Night on the Galactic Railroad. However, it’s also bout the nature of stories, as understood by the perspectie of an actor. 

There are only a few major characters but they all get intensely developed in their arcs. My absolute favorite relationship is that of the main character, quiet on the surface but with deep emotions that she uses for her acting talent with her rival an actress that’s much more like a pop star or idol. Rather than having deep talent she instead uses her ability to read people to appeal to them. She is cheerful and lively on the surface, but empty inside. The way they envy each other and learn to grow from each other because each of them has what the other one desires. 

Jujutsu Kaisen reminds me of really early bleach that was just Ichigo and his teenage friends fighting Hollows. This is one of the manga I definitely reccomend, because it’s one of the lesser known manga in jump currently. The art style has this scratchy look about it which really adds well to the horror aspect of the series. It’s a demon fighting anime with some of the best demon designs, more attention is put on making them look grotesque and scary then in series like KNY where the demons for the most part are pretty good looking still. 

The main trio is very solid, a reckless idiot who swallowed a cursed finger in the first chapter and is continually dealing with the consequences of that, the shadowy, quiet type cool headed one who almost never talks about his past or his true feelings on the matter, and between them the cheerful girl whose a tad on the merciless side. 

Not only are the characters good, but it’s one of the few series where the fights and lore are super interesting. Rather than dealing with demons directly Kimetsu no Yaiba style we deal with curses, which are generated from the human subconscious. 

For exmaple one of the villains Mahito is the embodiment of the fear humans have for other humans, that is the anxieties of life, and the fear and suppressed feelings that go hand in hand with humanity. Because that he’s much like a child curse quickly learning and progressing with a human intelligence. 

The fights, the powers of characters, they’re all used to further develop a really interesting world of curses and the people who live dealing with them that it feels like we’re only scratching the surface of right now and desperately makes you want to figure out the system they have in place for this entire world. 

Yui Kamio Lets Loose - I find it to be a really sweet romantic comedy about a stuck up boy obsessed with appearances and what other people think of him falling in love with two sides of a girl, the uncontrollable Yui that beat him up and constantly gets into fights and trouble, and the perfect demure girl who can only ever be helpless and kind and needs to be protected. It has a feel of a lot of classic 80s high school romantic comedies. The only real problem is that it needs to acquire a plot fast, because it’s at risk for cancellation which makes it hard for me to get invested in a series that might end soon. 

Double Taisei - One of those shonen manga that had a really interesting beginning chapter, but then failed to do anything with it. I think it would work well as a character piece between two personalities who act like brothers in the same body, but the characters aren’t strong enough quite yet to work that way. I do like the character design… 

Tokyo Shinobi Squad - It looked like a ripoff at first but the main character is actually fairly different from Naruto, and the manga itself is uniquely its own thing. I just hope it learns to utilize it’s cyberpunk setting better, because ninjas fighting in a cyberpunk dystopia is a very tropey premise and the story needs to utilize those tropes in order to work. I do like the fact that the main character starts out pretty powerful so it’s not a typical shonen formula about a main character slowly learning to gain power, instead it’s him taking in and being responsible for a kid. 

Manga I don’t read - One piece, Yuuna of the Haunted Hotsprings, Chainsawman, Samurai 8 the tale of Hachimaru, Beast Children, Miitama Security Busters.
