Being Tsubakihara’s Manager

Tsubakihara x GN! Manager

Warnings: pure fluff

AN: sorry it’s been a while since I posted BUT 👀 I still have a dream to write at least 1 set of HC’s per team because I know each one of these bbys has a fan somewhere. It’s me, I am the fan.

You can’t tell me these aren’t some seriously blushie boys

They will simply perish the moment they find out they have a manager

Literally, they could have no clue who you are but once they find out, watch out

Instant protection squad!

They have like six second years so never fear Yn, you are secure

Coach Osado is actually the one who recruited you

He knew you were a good student and capable of managing a team

When he asked if you still needed a club and you responded “yes”, the deal was sealed 🤝🏻

The first person he’s gonna inform is our amazing third year setter, Echigo

That poor boy is exhausted

Literally carrying the teams moral on his back 😅

Needless to say, he’s stoked about having a manager!

However, Coach Osado and Echigo decide not to inform the rest of the team of you

Because there’s nothing better than a good surprise right?

Right : D

So on your first day, you walk into the gym and the boys are already warming up

They stop and look towards you 👀

Freaking so noisy istg-

They watch as your beauty lights up the space, and they all just stare at you

Literally 👁️👄👁️

Someone better make sure to get a mop because there is drool everywhere!

You smile at them and wave, walking over to Coach as Echigo stands and walks towards you both

Teradomari is super confused 🤨 and looks to his friend for answers

Too bad his friend is Maruyama, who is probably definitely simp #1 on Team YN

“Dude don’t stare at them! We don’t even know who they are!” Tera gritted out as Maru snapped from his thoughts

Literally just these goons all ogling you

Hope you don’t have social anxiety Yn 😅

All the second years, Tsukioka, Mikawa, Iwamuro, Atema, Maiko and Kaikake are silently thanking whomever sent you walking into the volleyball gym

Our precious Angel, Himekawa is just staring at you, face blush red as he watches you laugh at something Echigo says

Suddenly Echigo and you approach the team, a huge smile plastered on your face

“Guys this is Yn, our new manager,” he spoke as suddenly the gym went dead silent

Before ultimately erupting into chaos

“Our manager- as in our teams manager?!?” Maru shouts, standing up before running at you and Echigo for a group hug

“As in the collective groups manager?” Tera added

“Like YN’s gonna be at all the practices manager?” Maiko interjects

Echigo 👉🏻😐🙄 yes

“Wait wait- like YN’s gonna travel on a bus with us to tournaments and stuff?” Tsukioka promoted

You this whole time 👉🏻😅

Coach Osado 👉🏻 rethinking this entire decision

“YES- yes YN is our manager!” Echigo finally said, moving his hands in a circle to indicated that he was including everyone

“I’m really happy to be joining you! Thank you for this opportunity!” You smile as the boys instantly die on the spot from how adorable you are

“I think I’m gonna faint!” Maru shouted as you quickly ran over to him

“Do you need water or something?” You said, concerned as his eyes widened and locked with yours

Thankfully Tera became conscious during this process and quickly intervened

“Umm I think he’s ok Yn, here I’ll show you around,” he said, grabbing your arm as you waved to the boys and began about your first day as the teams manager

Now I wish I could say they chilled out, but they in fact, did not 😬

Sure they didn’t almost pass out every time they see you but man did they adore you

They all clamored to help you in anyway they can

There is no way coach has any issues getting these boys to practice

“YN come help me with spikes!” Mary shouts

You 👉🏻 ok 🥰

“No YN I need you to help me with my cross court shots!” Teru interrupts

You 👉🏻 sure 😃

“YN is going to be too busy helping me with serving!” Tsukioka interjects

You 👉🏻 okey dokey 😅

“I need the most help Yn!” Kaikake whines

You 👉🏻 on it 🫠

Good thing Echigo is there to straighten everything out

“Whoa whoa ok that’s enough fighting over Yn! You guys should learn how to practice on your own!”

You 👉🏻*instant relief* 😌

“Besides Yn is going to be too busy helping me with setting to help any of you,” Echigo adds 🙃

“YOU ALWAYS HOG YN!” Maru shouts as Tera and the entire team join in

You 👉🏻 🧍😀

Despite all their fighting, they do agree on one thing

And that’s protect Yn at all costs!

Seriously you probably have better security detail than most politicians YN

Especially at tournaments

Because these boys aren’t only nervous about the game

But now they have to worry about protecting their innocent Yn from boys 😱

At the qualifiers for nationals, these boys are already on edge

You’ve tried to calm them down by giving them words of encouragement by man are they tense

Coach suggests that maybe it would be beneficial for them to eat something to calm their nerves which you agree

But oops- it looks like you forgot the bentos on the bus

Darn it 😏

Oh well, nothing a short brisk walk won’t fix

Only they boys don’t know you have left them because they are too nervous to even function

And while you are on your adventure, there’s a few players who have been paying extra attention to you

High school hormones 🙄

So when they finally see that you’ve escape the guard and are now alone, they decide to pounce

“Hey there! I didn’t know Tsubakihara had such a pretty manager!” On of the boys said

You just blush and continue to walk, knowing you need to feed your boys

“Man I wish we had a cutie like you on our team,” another one of them says as to you

You continue to ignore them because you have a goal!

Back in the gym, it’s Himekawa who first notices your absence

He’s so nervous that his nervous are almost working for him and making him way more vigilant

He looks around confused before Atema finally says something

“What’s up dude?”

“Umm where did Yn go?” Himekawa asks as suddenly everyone looks up

It’s like the nerves just melt away as they all suddenly start to panic

“Omg YN’s lost! We lost our manager!” Maru shouts

“YN was just here a few minutes ago calm down!” Echigo says as coach interrupts

“I sent YN to get some bentos to calm you boys down,” he says as the boys eyes widen

“Like alone?!?” Teru questions

“There’s so many boys here! We have to find YN!” Iwamuro yells as the boys take off in search of you

By this time, you’ve made it to the bus and the now super annoying boys are still following you 🙄

Like please take a hint we have a job to do ok!

Just as you are about to say something, the doors slam open and your entire team comes running out

Literally it’s like that scene where Ukai runs to save Takeda from Inarizaki’s coach

👇🏻

“LEAVE OUR YN ALONE!” Maru shouts as the boys and you just stare

The boys 👉🏻😐

You 👉🏻🙄

They block you from the other boys as they puff out their chests and assert their dominance

“YN are these hooligans causing you issues?” Tera asks as you stare at him

“I’m fine,” you say

“Why are you bothering OUR manager?” Maiko questions

You 👉🏻 really I’m ok 😅

“We were just making sure nobody hurt them. They were walking all by themselves,” one of the annoying boys said

Oof- that really hit a nerve

“We knew right where Yn was the entire time!” Maru shouted

The team 👉🏻 🤨 we did?

“Yeah we trust Yn to do things on their own!” Atema added

The team 👉🏻 we do?

“So why did you come running-” you started before being interrupted

“Well would you look at the time! Sorry we have to go warm up now!” Tera shouted, pushing you away as the other boys grabbed the lunch boxes and you headed back inside

Once inside the boys deflated, feeling relieved that they had found you safe

“You know, those guys are who we play first,” you smirked 😏

The team 👉🏻🔥👄🔥

Oh it’s on now!

[fantasydreaamer]

I found this original short story written by the author of Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, Miri Mikawa. It's a story that's in the special edition Blu Ray bonus Vol 2. I had to share it with the fandom. This is in Anne's pov, Enjoy!

(Btw, this is just the first part of the story, I though it was complete, but it wasn't)

Anne and the Fairies’ Early Summer Tea Party

When Anne opened the window, the summer breeze caressed her cheeks, bringing with it the smell of fresh greenery. “Summer is nice, the wind is soothing.”

Anne narrowed her eyes and turned indoors. The obsidian fairy, Challe Fenn Challe, who was sitting on the bed, tilted his face up and looked at her. He eyed the sunlight filtering through the window and responded curtly. “That’s right.” His tone was cold, though his expression was calm, and his wing, which was lightly draped over the sheets, was a refreshing light green color that glowed faintly.

Although he doesn’t seem to express joy, it seems that he must be comfortable in the early summer breeze and sunlight. It’s been more than half a year since they started travelling together. Anne has come to understand his mood from the changes in his facial expression and the color of his wing.

“I love this season too!” a voice full of energy said, and then jumped on Anne's shoulder. It was Mithril Lid Pod, the small fairy with lake-blue eyes. Thankfully, his emotions were easily understood, unlike Challe's.

“I’m a little sad that winter is over because I can’t drink mulled wine anymore. But there are some things that we can drink at this time of the year. Anne, do you know?”

Anne arched her back a little. “Of course! Early summer is tea season. Do you know why we came to Lewiston?”

Mithril’s face brightens. “To enjoy the Early Summer Tea Festival, right?”

At the end of last year, Anne celebrated Ascension Day in Lewiston and spent the New Year Holiday there before continuing her journey. With the thousand cress she received from the former Duke of Philax, she is able to live comfortably until the next fair without working. However, it was not good to live a life of leisure. She needed to continue working to live a stable life. So Anne, just like Emma, decided to drive around small villages and towns selling sugar confections. The sales were decent.

Although, she didn’t have the title of Silver Sugar Master, rumors of the former Duke of Philax's sugar confections spread, so she attracted people’s interest when the name of Anne Halford was mentioned.

So relying on a map, on a whim, they came to Lewiston yesterday. They stayed at the affordable, safe and clean Weather Vane Inn, and it had been a long time since Anne had seen the friendly proprietress again. All of this, as a cheerful Mithril said, was in order to attend the festival in Lewiston.

“You two seem to know about the festival, don't you? It’s only held in Lewiston and Westol.” Challe said with a sideways glance at Anne and Mithril.

Mithril raised his chin proudly. “Heh, heh. Who do you think I am? I'm Lord Mithril Lid Pod. I've heard rumors that there will be such celebration.”

Anne also replied with the same arrogance as Mithril. “I heard about it when I was travelling with my mother. We enjoyed the tea of early summer when we slept outdoors.”

The tea that is generally consumed in the Kingdom of Highland is brewed from fermented and ripened tea leaves. When the leaves are harvested, there is only a small period of time where you can savor the rich aroma of the freshly roasted tea leaves. This is called the tea of early summer. This tea was common among the nobles, but not among the common people.

However, after the civil war of House Chamber, the country became more and more stable, and the lives of the common people settled down, and this entertainment of the nobles spread to the common people. More than ten years ago, the cities of Lewiston and Westol began to hold tea party celebrations. The tea festivals in early summer were held only in the larger cities. It was a very desirable celebration for the young boys and girls of the countryside. If someone goes to the festival, they will be the center of conversation for a month. The tea festival will start tomorrow and will last for three days.

Challe, looked at both of them who were puffing out their chests and asked with an expressionless face. “How do you plan on enjoying the early summer festival?”

Anne and Mithril exchanged a confused expression.

“This ...... since it's a festival ......” Anne then realized that she didn't know exactly what the festival would be like. It seemed that the same was true for Mithril who had a flustered expression. Both of them had heard of the existence of the festival, but they didn’t know much about it. It was a festival they had always wanted to attend, so now that they were travelling on their own volition, the three of them came to Lewiston wanting to enjoy it together.

An early summer festival… Now that you mention it, I wonder how it’s going to be like.

Challe saw through them and asked them with an exasperated look on his face. "How do you enjoy it?"

“Yes, yes, yes! Well, you know, you go into town, drink early summer tea, sing, dance, and even splash tea on each other! Mithril in a cold sweat invented something random.

Anne also stammered as she answered.  “I'm not quite sure, but I've heard that they enjoy the tea. Anyway, on festival days they go out into the city and have fun. Um... Shall we splash tea on each other?”

Challe held his forehead and sighed heavily. He was annoyed at them, because they were excited about the festival without even knowing the reality of it.

“You two should go ahead and have such a bizarre festival.”

“Hey, what do you mean? Do you know what this festival is really like, Challe Fenn Challe?”

“I know.” he answered dryly.

Mithril’s mouth opened wide before he muttered again. “N-no that’s a lie. How can the boring Challe Fenn Challe who has no hobbies, could know more than me, the one who loves theater and festivals?”

“I’ll throw you out of the window.” Challe glared at Mithril.

Anne asked excitedly, “What kind of celebration is it? What will be done?”

“The one I know of is the Westol festival, which is the same. There are street vendors that sell tea leaves and the townspeople buy them.”

“Is that all?”

“During the three days of the festival, relatives, acquaintances, and friends are invited to the ceremonies. They show each other the leaves they have bought and enjoy them. During these three days, people have a break from work and have a tea party.”

“No tea will be spilled on each other? We won't sprinkle tea leaves?We won't tug on the tea tree? That's boring...” Mithril said.

To the disgruntled looking Mithril, Challe responded. “Originally, this festival was an aristocratic custom, not a festival run by the commoners for the sake of lively entertainment. It's a pity.”

Anne hugged her arms and pondered. “Tea leaves can be bought, though. It would be a bit difficult to organize a tea party. I don't know anyone in Lewiston.”

With a thud, Mithril Lid Pod clapped his hands together. “Kat and Benjamin are here!”

“Kat moved away to a town down south.” Hearing Challe’s words, Mithril slumped his shoulders.

“That's true. They’re not here.”

“Well, there’s no need to invite people. We can just buy some delicious tea leaves and enjoy them together.” Anne said with excitement.

When Anne and Emma traveled together, they heard that there was a festival called the Early Summer Tea Festival, so they bought tea leaves and enjoyed them. They talked about wanting to go to a festival someday, but they were happy with their own festival.

Even though Emma was gone, Anne now had two friends with whom she could celebrate the tea festival. Even if they could only experience half of the festival, it was enough. Because just like when she was with Emma, they could celebrate it on their own.

Let's forget about splashing tea on each other. It seems that Challe would be furious…

💫 ANIPLEX ONLINE FEST 2024: ANNUNCI, TRAILER E ALTRE INFO SVELATE DURANTE L'EVENTO!

Tante notizie belle, trailer da hype train e uno scherzo a cui non ha riso nessuno. Edizione completa, a tutto tondo.

Niente panico! Ce l'abbiamo fatta! Ripeto: ce l'abbiamo fatta! Mettetevi seduti e non mi dite che volete andare a letto presto, non si può. Ci sono le millemila novità dell'Aniplex Online Fest 2024 qua, oh! La mega diretta streaming di 4 ore annuale che c'è stata lunedì dai!

Ma Silenzio-kun, se questa roba è uscita lunedì come mai ce la riporti mercoledì sera e pure tardi? Perché se non forzavo le tappe forse arrivava pure giovedì o venerdì. Non scherzo KEKWait.

Purtroppo possiedo un'aura potentissima, ma sfigatissima, che attira inesorabilmente il massimo sforzo. Sempre, in ogni occasione e per qualsiasi cosa. Va da sé che, se mi capita di avere vari impegni e lavori da fare irl, il tutto accade in quella esatta settimana in cui ci sono annunci che vengono fuori dalle fottute pareti: di fine stagione, di inizio stagione, dei simulcast, da questo e da quell'evento. Un massacro insomma.

Partono quindi le maledizioni, Yog-Sothoth si sveglia e mi grida che devo smettere di fare casino, la Luna di Sangue si leva su Yharnam, l'armata delle tenebre si raduna sotto casa... poi mi dico che nessuno fa dei report belli come i miei, guardo i trailer, mi calmo e tutto torna a posto. Gli anime hanno salvato il mondo ancora una volta.

🔶🔸VIRGIN PUNK

Apertura a bomba con il reveal che mi ha spiazzato di più, sia per la qualità mostrata nel teaser trailer (anche se non so quanto possa essere rappresentativa del prodotto finale, visto che le produzioni di solito molto raramente sono così consistenti), sia per la collaborazione in sé.

Lo studio Shaft (Madoka Magica, Monogatari Series, Un marzo da leoni) sta infatti lavorando con lui, the man, the myth, Yasuomi Umetsu (Kite, Mezzo, Wizard Barristers, Galilei Donna) in persona!

Non si è ben capito se si tratti di una serie tv, di OAV o di film. È stato solo anticipato che la "prima storia", intitolata Clockwork Girl, verrà proiettata ad inizio estate 2025 in due cinema, a Tokyo e a Osaka.

L'unica cosa che posso aggiungere, oltre alla mia trepidazione e curiosità nel vedere cosa hanno combinato, è che la sceneggiatura di questo bombastico action scifi è stata affidata a Yuya Takahashi (Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible, Lupin III: L'avventura italiana).

🔶🔸MAY I ASK FOR ONE FINAL THING?

L'action romcom di Nana Otori sta per diventare una serie animata, che vedremo approdare in streaming su Crunchyroll nel corso del 2025.

Il progetto ha come regista Kazuya Sakamoto (Kaginado) e sta venendo realizzato presso gli studi di LIDENFILMS (Insomniacs After School)e LIDENFILMS Kyoto Studio (She and Her Cat: Everything Flows).

🔶🔸THE FRAGRANT FLOWER BLOOMS WITH DIGNITY

Lo school romance manga di Saka Mikami ispirerà una serie animata, in programma per il 2025.

Dal teaser si vede già che sarà un altro absolute banger made in CloverWorks (The Elusive Samurai, Bocchi the Rock!).

🔶🔸MONO

Una nuova commedia slice of life si staglia all'orizzonte per riscaldare il mio cuore nero e inaridito da softy edgelord ed è tratta da un manga di Afro (Laid-Back Camp). My body is ready.

Anche questa serie è in programma per il 2025 e segna sia il debutto alla regia di Ryota Aikei, che il primo lavoro targato studio Soigne.

Come vedete stampato sull'immagine promozionale, la voce di Satsuki Amamiya sarà quella di Haruna Mikawa (Jin-Ah Sung in Solo Leveling).

🔶🔸INTRODUCTION TO MINERALOGY 

Di questa ve ne ho parlato giusto pochi giorni fa e, oltre a un teaserino, è stato svelato chi si sta occupando dell'adattamento.

L’educational adventure slice of life di Keiichiro Shibuya verrà trasformato in una serie televisiva Shingo Fujii (ONIMAI: I'm Now Your Sister!), che sta dirigendo il tutto presso Studio Bind (Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation).

Come vi dicevo, al momento il debutto è atteso per un generico 2025.

🔶🔸FATE/STRANGE FAKE

Non un grande aggiornamento per l'attesa serie animata tratta dalla novel firmata dal mitico Ryohgo Narita (Durarara!!, Baccano!, Dead Mount Death Play). 

Pur essendo passato un anno dall'annuncio, in occasione ell'Anime Expo, e dalla trasmissione dello special Whispers of Dawn, per il momento è stato confermato che il debutto mondiale in anteprima avverrà questo novembre, molto tematicamente, in quel di Los Angeles.

Come lo speciale televisivo del 2023, potremo vedere prossimamente (ma non si sa quando di preciso) la serie in streaming grazie a Crunchyroll.

Il timone presso A-1 Pictures (Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!, NieR:Automata Ver1.1a) rimane saldamente nelle mani di Shun Enokido e Takahito Sakazume, che hanno entrambi già lavorato a  Whispers of Dawn e agli incredibili spot per Fate/Grand Order.

🔶🔸SWORD ART ONLINE ALTERNATIVE: GUN GALE ONLINE (Stagione 2)

Torna a mostrarsi con un nuovo trailer anche lo spinoff di SAO che è meglio di SAO! Siete pronti? La seconda stagione della serie sbarcherà in streaming su Crunchyroll dal 4 ottobre.

Lo staff è lo stesso della prima stagione, che nel frattempo potete recuperare su Prime Video e Netflix, oltre che in Blu-ray.

La regia insomma è ancora nelle mani di Masayuki Sakoi (Cautious Hero,A3! Season Autumn & Winter) e la produzione è tornata in casa A-1 Pictures (Lycoris Recoil, Mashle: Magic and Muscles).

🔶🔸PUELLA MAGI MADOKA MAGICA THE MOVIE: WALPURGISNACHT RISING

Spero abbiate fame perché, nonostante il lungo posticipo, Shaft (Pretty Boy Detective Club, Monogatari Series, Un marzo da leoni) sta chiaramente cucinando forte.

Se ricordate bene, l'inatteso ma più che benaccetto quarto film della saga, era stato programmato per l'inverno 2024 per poi sparire completamente dai radar. Il debutto in sala, ora, è stato fissato per questo inverno.

Il nuovo capitolo nell'onirico mondo di sentimenti e dolore delle maghette di Yukihiro Miyamoto (Magia Record, Arakawa Under the Bridge) vedrà, dunque, la luce ad inizio 2025. Non vedo l'ora che arrivi anche qua in Italia!

🔶🔸 SOLO LEVELING (Stagione 2)

Poche nuove, ma buone nuove. Dall'evento è emersa solamente questa nuova locandina, che ci annuncia che la seconda stagione del popolare action fantasy tratto dall'omonimo fumetto coreano, piazzato sui nostri scaffali da Star Comics, arriverà su Crunchyroll da gennaio 2025.

L'unica cosa in più è che il 29 novembre, i fan giapponesi potranno vedere in anteprima i primi due nuovi episodi della serie, perché verranno proiettati nei cinema assieme al film riassuntivo della prima stagione.

🔶🔸AMEKU M.D. - DOCTOR DETECTIVE

Un detective in corsia, ma anime! Nice. Ok, è una citazione da vecchi, ma ehi, continuano a fare le repliche in tv.

La serie ispirata alla medical mystery novel di Mikito Chinen inizierà a gennaio 2025 e indovinate un po' chi la pubblicherà in streaming?Ma elementare Watson: Crunchyroll!

Il breve promo ci dice che la regia è di Kazuya Iwata (7th Time Loop, Love After World Domination) e lo staff al lavoro è quello di Project No.9 (I Tormenti della Vampira Reclusa, Senpai is an Otokonoko).

🔶🔸MIKADONO SAN SHIMAI WA ANGAI, CHOROI

L'harem romcom di Aya Hirakawa, con al centro le tre feisty sorelle Mikadono, comincerà ad andare in onda nel corso del 2025.

A dirigere la serie c'è Tadahito Matsubayashi (Magical Girl Site) e il tutto sta venendo confezionato presso P.A. Works (Skip and Loafer, Mayonaka Punch). Non so com'è la storia, ma quello che vedo nella locandina mi piace ( ͡ꈍ ͜ʖ̫ ͡ꈍ )

🔶🔸TO BE HERO X

Nuovo fighissimo teaser trailer per Rule of cool The Anime a.k.a. la terza webserie del peculiare franchise supereroistico cinese, in arrivo su Crunchyroll nel 2025, dove già trovate To Be Hero e To Be Heroine.

Come vi avevo già detto in altri post, la regia è affidata a Haoling Li (Heaven Officials Blessing, Link Click) e il progetto è in cantiere presso tre studi.

La colonna sonora, dallo stile inconfondibile, è firmata Hiroyuki Sawano (Kill la Kill, Attack on Titan) e nel cast si riconoscono tanti big fra i doppiatori nipponici. Stavolta hanno deciso di fare le cose in grande! 

🔶🔸BLUE EXORCIST (Stagione 4)

Il nuovo trailer ci ricorda che l'arco narrativo Beyond the Snow sbarcherà finalmente su Crunchyroll dal 5 ottobre!

Da gennaio, invece, si entrerà nel vivo della The Blue Night Saga dell’action soprannaturale tratto dall'omonimo manga creato da Kazue Kato, che possiamo leggere qua in Italia grazie da Panini Comics.

🔶🔸DARK MOON: THE BLOOD ALTAR

Il webtoon illustrato da HYBE, che fa diciamo da lore espansa per il background della boy band sudcoreana ENHYPEN, diventerà presto un anime che potremo seguire in streaming su Crunchyroll.

Non ne so molto, ma il mix di urban fantasy e teen romance, con al centro scuola, vampiri, licantropi e una ragazza, mi ricorda un po' tanto Twilight. Il nome dell'istituto, Riverfield, invece mi ha fatto subito suonare il campanello di Riverdale, anche se non ci azzecca granché xD

🔶🔸DEMON LORD 2099

Ragazzi, quando ho letto che l'incipit della storia era "Il Signore dei Demoni si risveglia a Night City" non mi aspettavo che diventasse, ehm... uno streamer! Subverting expectations: lo hai fatto bene 😂

La serie è fatta in casa J.C.Staff (Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy-, DanMachi) e ha come regista Ryo Ando (Interviews with Monster Girls).

È tratta dall'omonima light novel fantasy sci-fi di Daigo Murasaki e anche questa farà parte del palinsesto autunnale di Crunchyroll, con il primo episodio in programma per il 12 ottobre.

🔶🔸I'M GETTING MARRIED TO A GIRL I HATE IN MY CLASS

Di tutti gli stereotipi del genere, quello del "mi devo sposare con tizio/tizia a caso, perché sì" credo sia fra quelli invecchiati più velocemente e male. Ma ehi, una romcom è una romcom e questa va ad infoltire la lista di quelle che potremo vedere da gennaio 2025.

È basata sulla light novel nata dalla penna di Seiju Amano e segna il debutto alla regia di Hiroyuki Oshima; la produzione porta il doppio marchio di Studio Gokumi e AXsiZ (Reborn as a Vending Machine I Now Wander the Dungeon, World's End Harem).

▶️ GUARDA IL TRAILER QUA

※ NOTA ※ Purtroppo questo e i prossimi due video ve li devo linkare così, perché Tumblr non me ne fa incorporare altri nel post. Chiedo scudo!

🔶🔸RUROUNI KENSHIN (Stagione 2)

Altro trailer per generare un po' di hype, in vista del ritorno del samurai vagabondo di Nobuhiro Watsuki, che ritroveremo su Crunchyroll dal 3 ottobre. 

Come vi ho già anticipato in un'altra occasione, sono stati confermati altri 24 episodi per la serie remake targata LIDENFILMS (Tokyo Revengers, Insomniacs After School).

Cambia però la regia, che vede Hideo Yamamoto (Cells at Work BLACK, La mia maestra non mostra la coda) essere sostituito da Yuki Komada (Build Divide) pe questo nuovo giro di carrozza.

▶️ GUARDA IL TRAILER QUA

🔶🔸UNITEUP! -UNIBIRTH-

Video e qualche aggiornamento sulla seconda stagione sulla serie idol al maschile di CloverWorks (Bocchi the Rock!, My Dress-Up Darling), parte del grande progetto crossmediale lanciato qualche tempo fa da Sony Music. 

Gli episodi saranno diretti ancora una volta da Shinichiro Ushijima (Voglio mangiare il tuo pancreas) e inizieranno ad arrivare su Crunchyroll a partire da gennaio 2025. 

▶️ GUARDA IL TRAILER QUA

E per finire... Oh boy, non ce la faccio...

L'audacia! L'assoluto sprezzo di Aniplex nel ricordarmi, a distanza di 10 anni, quella grandissima cagata delusione di Aldnoah.Zero! Quella chiacchieratissima serie mecha con alle spalle un all star team, che prometteva epicità e drama, ma poi ha portato solo una sequenza di decisioni infelici, con dei twist che hanno costretto al seppuku diversi dei miei neuroni (rest in pepperoni) e un gran finale da dumpster fire di proporzioni leggendarie, degno delle peggiori soapopera.

Come mai rivango tutto questo? Perché il 26 marzo 2025, in Giappone uscirà un nuovo cofanetto Blu-ray della serie, che includerà anche un inedito episodio post epilogo, numerato 24.5 e intitolato Fragment of Rain -The Penultimate Truth-.

Fermiamoci un momento ad interiorizzare una cosa: hanno annunciato questo e non una seconda stagione di 86 - Eighty Six. Let that sink in.

The Port Operation

[Part 1]

Location: Mikawa Port, Gamagoori City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan

Time: 1:34 PM

*Standing from the port, were men from the Kisaragi Foundation with one of them being Tsurugi Kinjo who was looking over the port*

...When are they going to get here?

They should be arriving any moment sir, we have our weapons and men armed and the cars are ready to arrest them and bring them down for questioning.

I see, thank you; will need to make sure we get any information.

And make sure to get the civilians away out of the boat, we need to assure their safety as well.

Understood, I'll tell the others... *Naoto walks away*

Good, now to wait...

*As then cars and swat vans from Future Foundation have arrive as men started to get out as they prepare for battle, with Kyosuke and Kyoko walk forward*

Tsurugi Kinjo, I apologize for being late but we are ready our men for the operation.

I see, thank you for coming; I heard that you all had discover about the human slave trades that the Kuzuruyu Clan had set up and I wish to shut the operation down.

I suppose you have an idea about the area, correct?

I believe so, I was able to investigate the area and was able to discover a fair bit without being notice.

The port has about 300 men that work under the Kuzuruyu Clan, they got weapons and are trained.

I see, so we got ourselves a fight then, anything else we need to be warned about? What if they run out of ammo?

There is a warehouse that has weapons, it's the building on the far left that contains them so we can block them there and make sure they don't grab them and their are no tanks either.

I see then what about back-up? Will any arrive if they arrive?

Well, there is an office but sadly it's hard to get in without the fingerprints of Fuyuhiko Kuzuruyu and Peko Pekoyama and since the 2 are dead, we can attack without back-up arriving.

But I think we should save any civilians that were kidnapped from their homes and make sure they are safe.

Indeed and it's why I think it might be safer if we handle the civilians while you deal with the human traffickers but we can assist you with fighting.

Very well, I think we can handle that; men, it's time to get to work, we need to make sure that all members of the Kuzuruyu Clan are capture and arrested, if any fight then kill on sight, understood?

TSURUGI'S DIVISION: Yes sir!

Gr-Great...Yakuza, this is gonna be quite the scary day, huh?

Well even still, putting a stop to Despair is for the best - especially if we are to return things to normal, now get your weapons ready.

Yeah, so let's hurry up and make sure they are taken down!

Indeed, also we must make sure that they don't get to the weapons in the warehouse; the rest of you come with me so we put a stop to it.

Then I'll come to assist with directing too; everyone be ready and prepare yourselves.

ELITE TASK FORCE: Yes sir!

*As then the operation began...!*

FATE GRAND ORDER

TAKEDA HARUNOBU (RIDER) CHARACTER PROFILE

━

BOND 1 Height・Weight: 185cm・85kg Source: Historical fact Region: Japan Attribute: Lawful・Evil Sub-attribute: Human Gender: Male "I'll settle this with my cavalry!"

━

BOND 2 Daimyo of Kai Province during the Sengoku period. The legitimate son of Kai's former Daimyo, Takeda Nobutora, Takeda Shingen’s was named Harunobu on the day of his birth. He only became known by the name of Takeda Shingen after his death. His relationship with his father was heavily strained in life, and he would eventually usurp the position of Daimyo after exiling his own father to Suruga. He would launch a full scale invasion of Shinano shortly after, beating down the locals thoroughly and pacifying the surrounding regions. In the wake of his assault on Shinano, Takeda fought many battles with Uesugi Kenshin in Kawanakajima. Caught in a stalemate with the Dragon of Echigo, Takeda would soon turn his attention to Imagawa Yoshimoto, with whom he established a temporary truce. Following Imagawa’s fall at the Battle of Okehazama, he invaded the unsettled Suruga, thus marking the beginning of Takeda’s heyday. He led his army westward where he utterly annihilated the combined forces of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu at Mikatagahara. This loss crippled Ieyasu with a lifelong trauma. Takeda, meanwhile would lead his forces into Mikawa. However, he grew sick and died in camp. He perished halfway through his ambitions... "Raise the flag at Seta... perhaps..."

━

BOND 5 Takeda is a ruthless warlord widely considered a genius of his time. He is said to most effectively embody the Sengoku period itself. With his natural born exceptional physical attributes honed to a fine edge by his equally outstanding intelligence, he was a natural powerhouse. However, this bred no small amount of confidence and pride. He would often display great arrogance in battle, only using both hands against those he deemed worthy. Due in part to his exceptional talent, Takeda endured a difficult childhood and came to see everyone around him as foolish. Even his own father, Nobutora, would alienate himself from his own son. Despite Shingen being the rightful heir, Nobutora attempted to distance himself from Takeda and instead groom his younger brother to be his successor. This was out of fear for the future of Kai under Shingen’s leadership. However, Takeda took it upon himself to exile his father and became Daimyo of Kai, believing that Kai would perish otherwise. Having never experienced failure, Takeda never once doubted this decision… Or his reign. ...However, this truth would soon be shattered by Uesugi Kenshin, later known as Nagao Kagetora, the Dragon of Echigo… "There is no man stronger than me in all of the Sengoku era. Not now. Not ever." ―――Kenshin is an exception because he's actually a woman...

━

BOND 5 The Tiger of Kai: A - This is the name given to Takeda Shingen, who, through the employ of his own tactical genius and tacit diplomacy, won many battles and made his name renowned through the most turbulent era of Japanese history. Akaki Honoo: A - The constant flow of magical crimson energy that surges around Shingen. It is a magical circuit that ignites his blood in a furious roar. While its output is overwhelming, it eats through his magical reserves at an alarming rate. Tatenashi O-Yoroi: B - Takeda's divine artifact, said to have been passed down from the legendary hero Shinra Saburo Yoshimitsu. The Tatenashi O-Yoroi is an armor said to be so sturdy and impenetrable that the wearer had no need of a shield. It is so robust that it can't be damaged by ordinary attacks. With this equipped, Shingen boasts overwhelming defensive power, almost like a fortress in human form. Kurokumo: Harunobu's beloved horse, known for its fierce temperament, it is said that only Harunobu himself could ever tame it. Rumored to possess a robust physique and tremendous strength, Kurokumo wreaked havoc in the land of Kai. After a fierce battle with Harunobu, they came to respect each other, forming a close bond. When clad in armor, it was as formidable as the cavalry of the Sengoku period. A simply extraordinary horse that could even transform into a carriage. Kurokumo is said to have truly understood Harunobu's every intent.

━

BOND LEVEL 5 Let there be no doubt: No “man” could ever rival Takeda Shingen…But there was a “woman”... Had he, for the first time, met… An extraordinary human…? Eyes that seemed to stare straight through the abyss, lips twisted into a mocking smile. Confronted with this incomprehensible "thing”... For the first time in his life, Harunobu understood the concept of “fear” as it was instilled within him.. Yet even still, he resolved to overcome it. He honed his military strategy, made all the right preparations, delved into sorcery and magic, trained himself beyond the peak of his physical condition, enriched Kai with a wealth of resources, all in his quest to surpass Uesugi Kenshin. And in doing so, he became literally the strongest warlord of the Sengoku period with zero defeats against anyone other than Kenshin herself. Even the Demon King, Oda Nobunaga, refrained from making a move during Takeda Shingen's lifetime. However, he never did find his resolution with that "thing" to which he had become so obsessed… The chaotic times, his birthright, the Takeda clan, none of them allowed it. Bearing the weight of everything, he soldiered on, never once speaking of his own desires until the day of his eventual death. Though he does regret the final outcome, he also accepts it… Although… if he could, just one more time... ―――Yes, he would give that girl one last solid punch. A trivial obstinacy, to be sure… To those on the outside, it may just seem like he lost a fight to the neighbor’s kid, but that was precisely the "strength" of the once and never again undefeated Takeda Shingen…

How To Make Silver Sugar ~ Sugar Apple Fairy Tale s1e3

"To make silver sugar, one must first fill a large pot with water and add a handful of silver sugar, then place the freshly harvested sugar apples into the pot and leave them to soak for a whole day and night. Doing so removes the bitterness. Toss out that water, refill the pot with fresh water, and place it over a fire. The sugar apples fall apart during cooking, so when the seeds and skin come floating to the surface, scoop them out along with any scum and boil down the rest. When the mixture becomes syrupy, transfer it from the pot to a level stone slab. Spread it evenly, then let it dry for another full day and night. When it dries, it will change color and form pure-white lumps. The final step is to grind the lumps in a mortar and make a powder."

Finished initially translating and relettering the contents page. A few of the names I've given the chapters are provisional because I'm thrown the hell off by katakana that seems like it's being used like hiragana, and hiragana being used instead of kanji. I also tried translating some of the text on the author avatars, but a few of them are just too small and I can't read them to save my life.

I'm still a learner, so I make no promises of perfect accuracy. That said, the chapters and credits as I make them are as follows:

4 Panel Gag Battle! Over-The-Hill Tuner by Kari Erika Note: In Japanese, this one is Abataaru Chyuunen. It's a mix of the word "tuner" and the word for "middle aged". I tried to translate the play on words as best I could, but it's not quite a perfect fit. We're Hired by Mochizuki Kazuomi Intripigation by Tsushima Shuu Note: This one seems to be a mix of "interrigation" written in katakana and the word for demolishing, pulling down, throwing off balance. It has several meanings, so I took a guess. I'll change it if I get to the chapter and it's clearly wrong. Smile Again by Sakano Chitose (Provisional) Trouble in The Sun by Sumino Hirune Note: I didn't really get this one, so I took a guess. Double checking with a machine translation I'm way off; I think I misread one of the kanji when looking it up or something. I'll fix it. Also I misspelled the credit. Quiz King Championship by Aoba Hayato A Fun Holiday by Kawata Yuko Two Truths Theory by Oumi Waki Note: Yeah, I don't know if this is accurate at all. I couldn't make much sense of it. Whoa! Unrivaled Physique! By Hayase Reku Double Impact by Moriyama Karin (Placeholder) The Horizon by Munekata Note: Oh yeah, this is definitely wrong. I don't get it at all. It seems to be using katakana like hiragana, which threw me off so I just shoved that in for now. I'll fix it later. Magical Girl Seraphita by Shinoda Takahiro Note: I'm really excited to get to translating this one! It sounds like it's going to be really fun! It's a Fine Day Today by Taihei Hiromi Destiny's Lotus by Ari Change ♡ by Terakane Hibiki All Sorts of Love by Takashi Mitsuhashi Note: I've just realised I made a typo on this name. Shit. Destroyer Syndrome by Kidohei Shirou Note: Also a typo. Fuck me. Happy Ending by Mikawa Beruno Cover illustration by Kumoya Yukio\Terakane Hibiki\Shinoda Takahiro Frontispiece illustration by Aoba Hayato Contents illustration by Nohara Aya

That's all for today. I'll start the proper work shortly. Once again, credit for the original scans go to @parasitoidism.
