Kanawanu Koi no Musubikata

[bl-anthology]

[waru-chan8]

Sorry to hijack this post, but I feel like this had to be added.

There’s this manga called Kanawanu Koi no Musubikata (sequel called Tsunaida Koi no Kanaekata and spin-off/manga related /prequel Akai Ito No Shikkou Yuuyo) where they talk about this.

 https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kanawanu_koi_no_musubikata/

Kamisawa has the power to see the strings to connect people and have the power to manipulate all of them with the exception of the red string (love one) because even if he can cut it, there’s a factor of nurturing that can make it reapead (Akai Ito No Shikkou Yuuyo).

Those mangas are fully BL/yaoi, so of course romance is a key element. However, Kumisawa doesn’t have his red string connected into someone and he struggles to form romantic loves because he knows people will leave him behind. They explore the concept of wanting and knowing that it’s your other half despite not having that string connected to each other.

As an aromatic who has a screwed up relationship with romance and the concept of soulmates, what I liked about this manga they portrait te red string, but soulmates as a general concept, as something you have to work. It is not granted that you can have your happy ending. You have to work for it.

Any way leaving this in here just in case.

heyo! this isnt an aro culture is ask, but i want to ask for some help! I'm working on some concepts for a webcomic i'd like to create one day, "the love death of ava ohlmes" it's about ava, a girl who is born with a magical ability called "seeing" seers are individuals who can see soulmate threads. (think: those red strings in soulmate stuff all the time) Except all the threads she finds don't lead to true love. She's aromantic and possibly aspec, and i would really love to see what other aromantic people think of this story idea, and if there's anything about this (especially about the way i handle the concept of soulmates) that i should avoid? I have some ideas already, but i don't want to rant and bore you with it hahaha... thank you for reading this though!!

(sorry it's taken so long to post this. i'm going to otherwise post without comment due to a personal boundary of discomfort with any soulmate related content)

and

「Kanawanu Koi no Musubikata 」

by Yoshio Akira

A manga about a man, Kamisawa, who's able to see and cut the red string of fate connecting others. Making it his job Kamisama meets all kinds of people with one wish, for him to cut the string.One day Hara crosses his path and comes to him as a client at first but it soon turns into more.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️/5

I love it. I love it so much I need more but also not because I'm scared it'll be ruined. This spinoff is definitely worth the read. 13 chapters, a quick read so take your time, enjoy the art and immerge yourself in the story.

I have to honestly say I have a weakness for uke who self-sabotage. Does that say something about me? Maybe. Yes..

Hara is such a sweet soul only wanting to pour his love into Kamisawa and I think it's so beautiful. Unconditional love that overcomes even moments I believe he finds hard.

Anywho, please fall in love with these two.

BLCD Review: Kanawanu Koi no Musubikata

Title: Kanawanu Koi no Musubikata ( 叶わぬ恋の結び方)

Author/Artist: Yoshio Akira

Release Date: 2019/11/29

Cast: Shingaki Tarusuke x Eguchi Takuya

Synopsis:

Kamisawa Kaoru can see - and cut - not just the red thread of fate, but any of the many threads which bind people to each other in varying forms. He uses this ability to run a business where he gets rid of pesky relationships for others. Ironically, Kamisawa himself has no red thread, and therefore is forever fated to watch his lovers find their destined one and leave him behind. He thought he had long since come to terms with this harsh reality, until the day when a man named Hara comes to him for help getting rid of a stalker...

Review Proper

I’ve been avoiding listening to this for the longest time because this fucking series is a personal attack on me. 😂 Bitch is Kamisawa Kaoru incarnate. I do know that I’ve made the most logical decisions, but this series never fails to make me second doubt that. YOSHIO AKIRA, WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST ME, HUH?!

Anyway, my personal bs aside, there’s actually another reason why I couldn’t listen to this immediately: the casting. 

I’ve actually had a feeling that it would turn out to be disappointing, but I didn’t expect it to be that bad. Thank goodness I didn’t place this last. Let’s just hope that the voice work for Yoidore and Koi ni Ochitara saves us bc I’m actually a little nervous for them. Don’t get me wrong, the pacing was great, and as was the bgms, but whoo I’m actually offended by the voice work and chemistry.

There, I said it.

God, where do I even start? 

I know he’s a decent voice actor, and he’s definitely a cut above his batch mates bc I actually can distinguish him from them, but when I saw his name up on the cast list in Akai Ito, I honestly knew that he wasn’t going to be able to be Kaoru. Eguchi Takuya’s voice is too deep for Kaoru. I know how he sounds as an uke because of Blue Sky Complex, but Kaoru isn’t Terashima. Idk what Brilliant Prin was thinking by giving him a pass to use that voice. He was also trying to replicate something like Kondo Takashi’s Onodera Ritsu but couldn't commit to it. In my opinion, Kaoru should have been voiced by someone like Suzuki Tatsuhisa, Satou Takuya, or even Nakazawa Masatomo. Actually, Nakawazawa Masatomo is my best bet for this because his performance in Escape Journey could be the perfect Kaoru with just a little adjustment to it.

However, my issue with Eguchi Takuya doesn’t end there. If he was only able to make this role his even though his voice didn’t match the role, then I wouldn't have minded the deeper voice and the BLCD would’ve been great if it was just a stand-alone and not an adaptation, but wow; his acting was really disappointing. He certainly didn’t feel like he was reading off a script, but his acting was so bland and inconsistent regardless. He also wasn’t doing a good job synchronizing with Shingaki Tarusuke—scratch that, he wasn’t even able to do a good job with ANYONE. Not the twins, not Akira-san in Akai Ito, and not even his own brother Kakeru (who he did not voice which is odd because they’re twins). Was he recording separately from them???

I’ve only ever listened to his performance twice, but this is his worst. It’s been how many months since the release of this? 3? He should take some workshops or something because he really needs to improve before daring to do more work. Even Furukawa Makoto could do a better job than that, sheesh. FURUKAWA MAKOTO HAS FOUND HIMSELF IN ANOTHER REVIEW

Moving on,

Oh, I didn’t want to say this. I don’t even want to think about this—more like, I want to forget about the whole BLCD because of this. Man, this is the worst I’ve ever heard of Shingaki Tarusuke. He was the right choice for this role, too! 😩 What a waste of talent! The pitch he was using for this was wrong. It was too deep to be Hara-san and idk what Brilliant Prin was going after because they made him a clutz. I mean, Hara-san was a little clumsy, but he wasn’t tripping over nothing clumsy. They made him trip during their first meeting in the BLCD which wasn’t in the manga, but then they just scratched that and Hara-san was this cool ass almost sadistic man that I didn’t know! That isn’t the “get-you-a-man” I fell in love with! He was supposed to be an older and a little more matured version of Akai Ito’s Hiro, and that certainly isn’t what happened. I can assure you that if you listen to this BLCD without reading the manga alone you would think that Hara-san in the manga and Hara-san in the BLCD were two different people. 

Also, the tone Shingaki Tarusuke was using was so deep and slow that you can hear him growl because of the strain it does to his throat. It was even deeper than Utou’s in Kurui Naku! Yo, Hara-san got Kaoru to fall because of his sweetness and the sense of security he gave him, but Hara-san here was honestly scary. Why didn’t y’all just make him use his regular tone because that is Hara-san to a T! Literally any of his other tones could have done a perfect job! Also, if they could have just casted Satou Takuya or Nakazawa Masatomo for Kaoru, then best believe Shingaki Tarusuke could make this the best adaptation of 2019 with them because Satou Takuya had Wonder Border and Nemuri Otoko to Koi Otoko with him, while he also did Ano Ko wa Sore wo Gaman Dekinai with Nakazawa Masatomo, and their pairings there almost had the exact same dynamics with Hara-san and Kaoru. Heck, he did a better job with Furukawa Makoto in Boku no Omawari-san than this. This wouldn’t have happened if y’all just casted Katou Masayuki for this role jk. I do have a gut feeling that his performance in Therapy Game as Kazuma will be what I was looking for, and maybe they didn’t want that and his Hara-san to sound the same, so it turned out like this, but why’d they pick a bad performance over a similar performance if that’s the case??? BOY SAITOU SOUMA DID A BETTER JOB AS A SEME THAN YOU IN AKAI ITO WHAT THE FUCK!

Kakeru’s cast was also a bit sketch, and I don’t even know who that was. Also, where was the need to get another person to do it when that was supposed to be Eguchi Takuya’s job in the first place? Or did they actually have no faith that Eguchi would be able to do pull a Nakajima Yoshiki here? For context, Nakajima Yoshiki voiced the Momose brothers in Tada no Classmate 2 and “I loved how he voiced Tatsumi so differently, but not too differently from Koutarou adding to the brother vibes”. And ooh, Nakajima Yoshiki is Akira-san in Akai Ito—double burn! 🔥🔥 It was too deep for him. Like, literally the only good casting choice for this BLCD was probably the twins. I really hate how much of a far cry this was to Akai Ito when the manga was the opposite. 😩

Overall, this was a bad adaptation. Like, it’s not even better as a stand alone, and it’s definitely not a “could do better”. It’s certainly not as bad as Konomi ja Nakato’s, but it’s a close second. There are also a lot of ad-libs and rearrangements in the dialogues, so I honestly can’t recommend this to beginners. The extra shteamy scenes were good, though, but length does not equal to quality. That’s what she said. To sum, we had great pacing, a lot of addends for the dialogue, and devastatingly disappointing voice casting and chemistry. I do not look forward to the adaptation of Tsunaida Koi—more like, I hope they don’t ever make it bc it ain’t worth it. Yo, you gotta understand. I was actually pretty biased about this from the start (best believe I already planned out how I was going to structure such a positive review for this and was so sure that this will be in the running for one of 2019's best adaptations) because I did work my ass off on Tsunaida so that just made me more hyped and made my expectations for this super high, but then they had the audacity?! 😂 My copy is actually a gift from my beautiful fairy godmother, and I did plan on buying my own when I went to Tokyo back in January, but seeing how this turned out, thank goodness I didn't spend the coin. I’m so sorry, Yoshio Akira! 😭😭😭 This is still the best Christmas present I ever received, though! 😘
