RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS - jjk nanami

nanami, who despite his stoic and serious demeanor, has a soft spot for you. after a tough day, he’ll show up at your place with your favorite lunch or dinner, made by him, of course. "you didn’t eat enough today," he’ll say gruffly, though you can tell he’s just trying to take care of you. he doesn’t need to make a fuss; the fact that he thought ahead shows how much he cares.

nanami who'll occasionally leave small, handwritten notes for you to find when you need encouragement. simple reminders like “take it easy today darling.”, “you’re doing great.”, and “remember to sleep early.”

nanami who notices you’re working too much, so yes, yes he will encourage you to take breaks, even if it means 'dragging' you out for a quiet walk or a simple outing just to clear your mind.

nanami who has this routine of bringing your favorite coffee whenever he’s free. he knows you have a cycle, but after noticing the strain in your eyes from a long night of work, he’ll quietly brings you the drink you love.

nanami who is quick to lend a hand. whether it’s picking up groceries, taking care of a small task you’ve forgotten about, or helping with something on your to do list, he steps in (with you’re permission of course). it’s not about needing thanks or recognition, he does it because he knows it will make your day just a little easier.

Ultimate X-Men #5 and #6 Discussion

          Ultimate X-Men #7 comes out today, so I thought I’d finish talking about the last two issues of the first arc of the series. If you have not read Ultimate X-Men #5 and #6 then please look away now because I will definitely be spoiling things for you.

          To make this discussion a bit easier to read and easier to write for me, I’m going to split this discussion into two halves: “The Villains/The Antagonists” and “This Universe’s X-Men”

The Villains/The Antagonists

The first thing I want to talk about is this page from Issue 6:

This page actually confirms that the person we’ve been seeing for the last few issues is in fact this universe’s version of the Shadow King. I actually kind of like that they revealed it this way because I don’t think that revealing that this guy was the Shadow King in such a big way would have made sense for this universe specially since this universe has no sense of who the Shadow King is and why he would be a threat. I also feel like for new readers they won’t really understand why this person might be a threat just from his name and I think Momoko in this first arc has done a really good job in showcasing why Kageyama/Shadow King is a threat without really giving us parallels or showing us who the Shadow King is in the main Marvel universe. I’m excited to learn more about this character and the weird cult that he seems to be mixed up in in the next arc of this series. We find out in issue 6 that Kageyama has some sort of obsession on Hisako and that’s why he’s been following and stalking her these past few issues:                       

It seems that Kageyama/Shadow King has some sort of infatuation with Hisako and has this idea of her that is very clear in his head. That’s why in issue #6, when Hisako is fighting against him, he starts to lose it:

The wording he uses on that second page “My Hisako--- doesn’t talk like that!!!” confirms for me that he does have some sort of infatuation/obsession with Hisako. I think this tracks for this version of Shadow King. If I’m just going by his design, he looks like a typical shut-in otaku that would normally be obsessed with an anime girl or a Japanese idol, but in this case, he’s obsessing over Hisako and he also has the power to get in touch with her whenever he wants, which makes him terrifying as a stalker. I really want to know how his obsession started. He says in issue 5 that they went to the same middle school together, but I want to know what about Hisako made him want to latch on to her.

Kageyama and Hisako Went to the Same Middle School (From issue #5):

          Also, Kageyama seems to know the truth about what happened to Tsubasa. In the start of issue #5 we see him watching a video of one of Tsubasa's bullies, the one we see from issue #4, point a knife at Tsubasa:

Yes, we can say that this is could have been the final straw that made Tsubasa want to take his own life, but I feel like there’s something else going on. Especially, since Kageyama is watching this video. I feel like he knows more about what truly transpired the day Tsubasa died, and we’ll find out more about it in the next few issues. I don’t think he would have kept this video if there wasn’t something more. My guess is that these bullies were the people that actually killed Tsubasa rather than him taking his own life. Or that Kageyama saw Tsubasa being bullied and decided to make him take his own life through his powers. I’m not really sure but those are my main theories so far.

We also get more information on Surge/Noriko Ashida in issues 5 and 6 of this series. It seems that both her and the Shadow King are from the same cult. Also, she seems to be some sort of sex worker that uses her powers to fry her customers brains, so they can get off?:

I don’t know how else to explain this but that seems to be what’s going on here. This guy seems to be a regular customer of hers. This actually makes her seem terrifying to me, especially with her facial expression on the second page there. It seems like she doesn’t mind hurting other people to get what she wants and unlike Kageyama, she is very confident in what she can do to other people, which make her a very formidable enemy to our newly formed X-Men. I definitely am looking forward to seeing more of her in the next arc.

I want to talk a little bit more about this cult. I really like the idea that the Children of the Atom is a cult in this universe. It definitely makes more sense that this X-Men story takes place in Japan because there have been a lot of issues with cults in Japan as of recently. In fact, the last Kamen Rider reboot, Shin Kamen Rider, kind of explores this problem as well with Shocker’s cult-like behavior. Anyways, I’m really interested in finding out who is behind this cult and who this person is being crucified in their base:

My guess was that it’s Wolverine (Logan) because they seem to be using this person’s blood to heal people and Wolverine has a healing factor and has a lot of ties to Japan as well, so that’s where my mind first went when I saw this crucifixion. Also, there’s always this cover of Uncanny X-Men #251 that was featured in Deadpool and Wolverine months ago that made me think it is him:

          In regard to who might be the leader of this cult my first guess was Scott Summers because every time I see the swirling X Mark as their symbol it’s made me think of him in his black after Avengers vs X-men costume when I see it:

The Children of the Atom Swirling X-Mark:

Cyclops Costume After AvX [From Uncanny X-Men #1 (2013)]:

The reason why I’m thinking it’s Cyclops besides the costume is because I’m not convinced that it would be Magneto or Xavier that would be the leaders of this cult because I think it would be too easy to guess that they are. Also, I think The Maker, while perverting this universe, would have wanted to ruin the leader of the X-Men by turning him into the leader of this cult. Those are my reasonings so far. I don’t really have proof. I have not read issue #7, so if I’m wrong then forget this. Although if it is Magneto or Xavier, then I’m willing to think that the leader of this group would be magneto just from how much the term “homo superior” has come up regarding this cult.

This Universe’s X-Men:

We see the formation of this universe’s X-Men in issue 5 through Nico Minoru and Mei Igarashi:

I like that the main reason why this team has the letter “X’ on it is because Mei has bad grades, and it has nothing to do with the X-Gene. I don’t know how anybody else feel about it, but I like how unserious this whole thought process was. Yes, this is definitely informal and it’s at a stage where it’s just an idea being floated around but I think this could be a very interesting team. So far, we have Hisako (Armor), Mei Igarashi (Maystorm), and Nico Minoru as the key members of this group with Mori and Natsu Tsukishima maybe being part of the team as well. The reason why I’m unsure if Mori and Natsu are joining is because we don’t really know about them much yet. We actually don’t even know if they have powers yet. All we know is that they’re part of the Children of the Atom cult through their parents. I actually still want to know if Mori is this universe’s version of Molly Hayes. The reasons why I’m thinking that she is this universe’s version of Molly Hayes is because: Molly is a mutant in the main universe; she was first introduced in this universe with Nico Minoru, who is part of the Runaways in the main universe; and she keeps wearing bunny ears, which is what Molly would definitely wear. If she’s another character, then ignore this but so far, I think she’s this universe’s version of Molly Hayes.

Speaking of Nico Minoru, we get to see more of what she’s capable of starting in issue #5 when she does a reading on Hisako’s Armor Omamori:

So, it seems that this Nico Minoru also has the same powers that her main universe counterpart has and hopefully we find out more about what her power is. We’ll probably find out more about it in the next arc, but I wonder if in this universe Nico is a mutant rather than just a straight up sorcerer. Maybe she has some sort of psychic powers that is not dependent on the Staff of One. Also, regarding this scene, I really love how the Shadow King’s power is represented, and I like how Nico Minoru’s powers are represented as well, like she’s a mage that is casting this evil spirit away. I think that’s why Nico Minoru was chosen to be part of this series because her powers are supernatural in origin and this book has had a really big supernatural vibe ever since it started.

          I want to talk about Hisako a bit because she’s really grown since the first issue of this series. In the first issue, she was very much lost and devastated due to what happened to Tsubasa and the guilt that came with that. She cut herself off from the world around her, but in issue 6, we start seeing the more confident side to her. She’s taking a more proactive approach with dealing and fighting Kageyama/Shadow King:

She knows that she has people now; she’s no longer alone and therefore she can take on her demons, whether it’s the inner or the outer ones, with their help. I also liked that as soon as Kageyama stepped in Nico and Mei immediately took a fighting stance with Hisako. They look so much like a team on that first page, and it definitely made me want to see this team more in the future. These two pages felt like a teaser of what this team could be, and I am more than excited to see what they become.

          I have really enjoyed Ultimate X-Men by Peach Momoko so far. I’ve said this in the first issue discussion, but I really love that she is doing the art and writing for this book because it gives this book uniformity and consistency that I don’t really see with other books; especially, with the X-Men books. Her art feels like it’s just another extension of her writing and because her art isn’t this traditional comic art, it feels refreshing every time I’ve picked up an issue of Ultimate X-Men in the past year. Also, she really knows how to utilize the space between her art because she uses her borders on a page to tell the story as well, which I love. Her J-Horror and supernatural choice for this book is really inspired and it just helps draw me in to this book. This first arc has been so fun to read. The only reason why I didn’t write this discussion sooner was because I was feeling burnt out on writing, but I wanted to really compliment her work because I’ve enjoyed it so much, so I forced myself to write this now as issue #7 is coming out. I really do hope that people keep picking up this title because I think it is one of the most intriguing comics currently out now for Marvel and maybe with the other publishers as well. This book to me definitely feels like it’s pushing the envelope on what they can get away with in a marvel book right now and it’s refreshing to see that, so please support this book if you can.

          Thank you for reading this discussion. I’d love to know what you think of this title so far and if there were anything I might have missed while discussing these two issues. Or if there were things that I just did not talk about clearly. I tend to write these really quickly, so if I was confusing then let me know. Have a great day! Thanks again!

Heavenly Peach Banquet - Gaara and Momoko

After the events of Shippuden.............

18+, sex

Surging up into Momoko, Gaara clung onto her stomach desperately. He panted loudly, feeling as if he were going to pass out. It was so much. He loved feeling his cock buried in her, hearing her giggles and trying to fuck into her as much as he possibly could. “Moomoo…” He whined.

“Yes, lord Kazekage…?” Momoko joked, panting heavily as she felt him bump into her cervix several times. Her enormous tits jiggled with each powerful thrust in; it was difficult for Gaara not to cum just from the sight alone.

He placed his face in between her breasts, chin to sternum.

“This is… something I always wanted.”

“It is!?” Momo replied with a glee filled response, rocking against him.

--

Laying against Momo was a blessing. He was the big spoon but… she was the little one… and so much BIGGER! In every sense of the word. He wanted this role yet it still felt queer.

“Momoko-san… why were you so kind to me?”

---

"Well, if you insist."

Gaara's last spoken words echoed in Momo's mind as she was held down by sand. It would have been a terrifying state to be in for most, but it was one of the biggest adrenaline highs she's had. 

Looming over her, his short stature didn't serve as a detractor from his intimidating aura. "I have craved you for so many years." He hovered a hand over her curves, gripping into them with force. His eyes, dark with lust as his fingers searched along her body.

--

“You wanted to live with me!?” Momoko was shocked, moving backwards. She had settled into Konohana for the sake of Lotus and since it was her home; she would’ve continued being a nomad if it weren’t for him. The thought of staying in a single place used to scare her, but only one man moved her heart enough to make it comfortable.

“Well… it was merely an idea…” Gaara spoke, clearly flustered that he had uttered such a thing. He kept his hand to his mouth, showing he had been thinking on this subject for some time. 

“Gaara!” Momo yelled out, grabbing his hand as she yanked him into her. She showered his face in kisses, struck with glee. “I’d… I’d really love that!” She shoved him into her chest, squealing out with joy. “But, mm, Lotus needs to stay in Konohana… and Orochimaru needs me to help out with Mitsuki sometimes… among other things...” She deliberated, rubbing her chin. Gaara couldn’t put together anything; he was overwhelmed by his partner. Each time he was able to touch her, it was like being struck by lightning. Momoko stood there, tilting her head.

“Then again… Lotus says I’m too over bearing! And he is a teenager, I’m sure he wants to get up to trouble like his father did.” She thought aloud, laughing. “Okay, how about this!” She pulled Gaara’s face up by cupping his cheeks, kissing him in between her cleavage. “I visit the Kazekage’s home every other weekend… for business and of course… pleasure...” She cooed, practically purring at him. Gaara audibly gasped, staring up with awe. 

“I am deeply flattered you’re considering this, but if it causes too much trouble-” Gaara tried to apologize, interrupted by a finger on his lips.

“I am a trouble maker, and this? This isn’t troublesome at all.” Momo reassured him, smiling as her kiss met his lips again. “It MAKES ME SO HAPPY!”

Another story from Aubergine and Momoko for today's <500 word challenge!

[urdamage]

you find a plastic takeaway container, decorated in sweet little holiday themed doodles done in permanent marker. inside are home-made shortbread cookies, shaped like stars, snowmen and christmas trees, all decorated appropriately with sprinkles and edible glitter. attached is a hand-written note, on special winter-themed paper bought from cupid’s, written in blue sparkly gel pen:

“ dear bo/desi/dodge/eilonwy/ernie/hedwig/hen wen/duckie/junior/jupiter/leaf/valentine, this year, just like the last, has been incredibly tough on us all. i hope that despite this, you find a little bit of happiness in the holiday season. here are some cookies i made all by myself ! i hope you like them and that they lift your spirits a little bit. 楽しい休日, happy holidays, xo momoko noguchi ! ”

bo , a massive fan of sweet treats , was thrilled to receive the gift from momoko . though the two weren’t close , and though he had only known momoko for a short couple of years while she was still in his mind new to town , the gesture meant so much to him . she’d been through a lot , as had bo , and for these tortured residents of shrike heights to come together despite it all , it truly was incredible . bo had grown up not really celebrating any holiday at this time of the year , but to build a community of good people around him who helped him to reclaim such events , it felt so nice , nice enough to temporarily take his mind off of all that had happened to him in the last two years . 

desi was a stubborn man who had previously struggled accepting the kindness and the assistance of others . needless to say , suffering a near fatal attack and more trauma than any one person should ever endure , it changed him . desi would do anything to go back in time to stop that night from unfolding - as he felt about all of the attacks - but he also understood that through this nightmare , he had also gone through some very , very good changes . momoko’s gift was a perfect example of one . momoko was a sweet person , someone who he had heard such fond things about , from dhruv and from all of the other people who had befriended her since her arrival to town , and it meant a great deal to be on the receiving end of this gesture . though he wasn’t big on observing any holidays , he made a note in his notebook to pick up the nicest thank you cards he could find in cupid’s . 

dodge already completely devoured an entire cookie before he got to reading the note , busy at shrike county hospital and prioritising a sugar fix before properly assessing the gift . he should have known from the taste of the cookies - baked to the highest standard , being in dodge’s opinion better than anything you could get at any bakery or sweet shop in the entire state of colorado - that the generous person who had gifted them was momoko . he grinned widely . the poor noguchi sibling had gone through so much ; both of them had , but unfortunately dodge had seen momoko wheeled through the emergency department doors more than her brother and it had been awful each time . to see his former patient well enough to bake and gift at this time of the year , it reminded dodge exactly why he did what he did . 

eilonwy loved both of her jobs for different reasons , but she was always thankful for her place at a new chapter and the way it helped her to meet people so like herself . momoko noguchi was a valued customer at a new chapter , and as eilonwy stuck the sweet note on the pin board sitting in her bedroom , wanting to cherish the holiday wishes that meant more to eilonwy than momoko could ever know , eilonwy was sure that momoko was valued in all of the other parts of her life , too . how could she not be ? when she was doing such a kind thing by spreading love in this town that needed it more than most . as eilonwy treated herself to one of the cookies , she began thinking of how she could follow momoko’s lead , and what she could do to help , too . 

ernie was still so unsure about forming real connections with others . his guards were up , they felt as though they might never be able to come down properly after all that he had been through , but he was realising as he stared at the package from momoko that he had let more people in than he would have ever imagined . it was a strange realisation , but what was even stranger to him , was how he kind of ... liked it . friends were important , they were the only things that had helped him through all he had faced in the last year or so , and ernie was grateful for them , as terrified as he was at the same time . though he wasn’t a sentimental person , he found himself keeping momoko’s note , tucking it away in his bottom drawer safely . 

hedwig stared at the container and the note , feeling shock and amazement at the very same time . he had never known what it felt like to have a family before , but it was the love and the well wishes that he received like this , like momoko’s gift , that made him believe that this was what life was meant to feel like . the community of shrike heights were all suffering , but through this , they were showing up for each other in the most incredible ways , and hedwig , despite the horrors he had seen in this town , realised that he felt truly safe with those who were around him . it was a nice feeling , though quite the shock to first take in . 

hen wen hated people . that wasn’t a secret , especially not to those in shrike heights who she had hurt and burned all of her bridges with . hen wen’s defence mechanism was to protect herself viciously ; the world had hurt her so badly , so she had decided to bite back , and most often , to strike first before they could even think about hurting her . hen wen was used to loneliness and isolation . she had forced this life upon herself , and she had talked herself into believing that this was the best of the exclusively terrible options she had . needless to say , receiving a gift with well wishes and holiday cheer , it completely shocked her . she sat with that note for a very long time . she didn’t think that she deserved it , but the scarier truth was , she found herself quite liking the feeling of having been thought of in this way , of being included by momoko .  

duckie wasn’t a very reputable member of any community he had ever been a part of . he was troubled , and he was a trouble maker . but at the same time he was skilled at what he did , and he was terribly charming , which often allowed him to get away with it and to not learn the lessons he should , or feel too bad for doing wrong . duckie only cared to have a good time , and thankfully , he was yet to ruin much here in shrike heights . he wasn’t surprised when he received the gift from momoko , despite there being good reason for him to be kept off of gift lists - duckie being on the naughty list , you could say . despite duckie not particularly caring about anything that wasn’t totally self serving , he’d be sure to keep an eye out for momoko in the future , appreciating the gesture and finding the kindness to be sweet .

junior hated his parents for very good reason , but when the holiday season rolled around , part of him still missed them - or at least , the idea of them . he was envious of those who got to spend their time with their loved ones , envious of the happiness shared between them in the form of company , gifts and home-cooked meals . junior was very sad a lot of the time , but he was especially blue at times like these . momoko’s gesture couldn’t have come at a better time ; though the two weren’t close , she was able to provide junior some of the love and the support that was sorely missed right now , and right now , a little went a long way . 

jupiter still struggled with the aftermath of both attacks he had endured . he wanted this season to be different , though hannukah came and went in early december without much acknowledgement from jupiter - a fact he didn’t admit to his parents when they had called . thankfully , however , despite jupiter struggling to bring himself to do much , he was blessed with the most incredible people in his life , people like noah , and charlie , and evidently , momoko . the noguchi’s were good kids , he believed , and while she mightn’t have known it , momoko had easily found herself on jupiter’s list of favourite people after he received the gift and holiday well wishes . 

leaf celebrated each season for the things that happened in nature , not one to observe holidays such as hannukah or christmas . with that being said , however , winter was his least favourite season out of them all . it was easy for him to find more fault in the snowy season , and even easier for his mood to be more sour after all he had endured on halloween . it was only the people who he surrounded himself with who were able to salvage the season for him , and for that , leaf was immensely grateful and extremely fortunate . his siblings , the commune , the others in his life such as florian and ian all helped him through even the toughest time , and to have others in town like momoko also reaching out with sweet support further helped to remind him that there were still good people in the world , despite how easily those such as the killers could grasp all of your focus and attention with their wicked ways . 

valentine’s first christmas without his late husband made him believe that he’d never enjoy the season ever again . since being in shrike heights , however , despite the horrors that took place , the holiday season had only gotten easier and easier for valentine . this year , he was actually doing pretty well , and he was happy . he opened momoko’s gift just as he sat down with kit to watch a festive movie , and it just felt like the cherry on top of a sweet moment . he was appreciative of momoko , as he was of all of the good people in his life , and while there seemed to be no end in sight in regards to the attacks , valentine even found himself feeling hopeful .

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS - jjk nanami p2

nanami always knows the right way to support you. when you’re feeling down or stressed, he’s the one who’ll quietly ask, “are you okay?” and listen attentively when you need to talk. he doesn’t rush to offer solutions or advice, but just sits and listens, letting you vent. it shows just how deeply he cares for your well being.

when you're sick, nanami’s kindness knows no bounds. he’s the type of person who will take the day off if he needs to, just to make sure you’re well taken care of. he’ll cook you soup, make sure you’re comfortable, bring you medicine, and stay close by in case you need anything.

nanami also has a knack for noticing the small details. if he sees you struggling with staying organized or overwhelmed with clutter, he might take the time to quietly arrange your workspace or living area in a way that makes it easier for you to focus. he doesn’t want to control anything, but he does want to make sure that you don’t feel burdened by the small things in life.

sometimes, his kindness comes in the form of small surprises. after hearing you mention a craving or something you’ve wanted, nanami will remember it and surprise you with your favorite snack or treat.

over time, nanami learns more about what makes you happy. whether it’s your favorite song, a book you’ve been meaning to read, or a place you’ve always wanted to visit. he surprises you by bringing up something you’ve forgotten about, and it’s just so heart warming.

when it’s cold outside or you’re feeling a little chilly, nanami will notice and without hesitation, offer you his jacket. just the act of him draping his jacket over your shoulders is enough to make you feel cared for. what a man.

Ultimate X-Men #2 Discussion

          I’m going to be talking about some spoilers for this issue so if you have not read this issue then please look away now. I’ve been enjoying this book so far and I think it’s worth your money to buy it.

          The first thing I want to talk about is the character in the cover of this issue: Mei Igarashi AKA Maystorm. I really like her design. I like that she takes so much inspiration from Ororo/Storm, and I think Peach Momoko, in an interview, even says that this character definitely idolizes Ororo/Storm of this universe. I have not read Ultimate Black Panther yet, so I don’t know how Ororo/Storm is like in that book but seeing Maystorm in this book definitely made me want to read Ultimate Blank Panther more for sure.

I’m glad that they introduced Mei in this issue because Hisako now has a friend that she can talk to and figure out her powers with. She definitely needed someone to be friends with because after Tsubasa and after meeting the Shadow, she started hiding herself more and more. In the beginning of this issue, we saw Hisako thinking about Tsubasa and thinking about what she could have done differently, so that he wouldn’t have died. The Shadow King (still unconfirmed if this is the Shadow King or not by the way) also seems to be watching her or corrupting her thoughts in the beginning of this issue. Hisako is pretty much alone and vulnerable; she doesn’t really know what to do with this Shadow King business and she’s still trying to process Tsubasa’s death, so Mei showing up how she did was like a lifesaver for her. Literally, when Mei showed up in this issue, it felt like the tone of the book changed, and it gave the book/Hisako a little more hope. I also like the little art decision Peach Momoko makes in this issue, where Mei breaks out of the panel of the book while she is helping break Hisako’s focus from the Shadow King. It’s like Mei dispels the curse that the Shadow King had on Hisako and the reader by just being there.

Hisako Thinking about Tsubasa/ The Shadow King Watching?:

Mei Showing Up and Breaking the Boundaries of the Book:

          Speaking of the Shadow King. I do not like that Momoko revealed who this Shadow King is immediately in this issue. At least, I think Momoko revealed who this Shadow King is. Sure, we don’t have a name for this guy yet, but I felt like it was too soon to reveal that a person is behind these torments on Hisako. I actually did like the idea for a while that he might be some apparition or some entity that is haunting Hisako, who just has a powerful psychic ability. I don’t necessarily think this decision was bad. I’m still very much into the book. However, I just would have loved to have had this mystery going in the book for a while. I am interested in where Momoko is going with this. I want to know who this guy is and what he was to Tsubasa because he seems pretty close to him. Maybe a brother? Or another friend? We also see a uniform when he was revealed so he’s definitely still a student. So maybe he was just a close classmate of Tsubasa?

Shadow King’s Identity:

          Lastly, I want to talk about Peach Momoko’s art once again. I will keep saying this: I think this book is so worth it to buy monthly just for the art. I love her art so much. I am so glad that she is both writing and drawing this series. I feel like it helps the focus of this book so much. My favorite page from this issue was the reveal of the security guard being a ghostly creature. It reminded me of a movie I’ve watched before, but I just can’t remember the name of it, and it’s been bugging the hell out of me, so if the security guard reveal reminded you of a movie, then please let me know what that is because I have been racking my brain as to what this reminded me of and just can’t remember it at all.

          Anyways, thank you for reading my small discussion on this issue. I would love to know what you thought of this book as well as your favorite page or panel from this issue. Also, thank you in advance if you end up giving me the movie I have been trying to think about. Have a good day!

Lots of stuff to go through it seems

*As then Taizo and Runa walk up on stage, with Runa carrying a box*

Thank you all for attending of this meeting...

Now I know this is a bit earlier then intended but due to the situation of the family Restaurant, Pig Boy - this has cause some trouble; I'm sure those that work in the food industry would understand the problem here, right?

Yes I think so, given what's going on; it's become hard to sell our bake good at my family's bakery so we are struggling for the past few weeks.

Man: Yeah I remember not getting many costumers at my grocery store either, I'm not sure why but we are starting to lose costumers.

Women: Indeed... people are scare to come out due to most any business that sells food might be connected to Despair, correct?

Indeed even in Europe we starting to struggle as well; especially regarding my candy business as well.

So what do you wish to suggest, Monsieur and Madame Osone?

Well... that's what me and my wife want to show you all something, the tomatoes Pig Boy has and the tomatoes my wife grown. Runa, if you mind?

Ya got it! *lifts up the box*

Now as you can see, The one marked 'A' is conventional tomatoes, pretty much they are the ingredient they are use while the ones I grow is B which is organic.

We also look at other food as well, discovering that many of them have drugs in it.

Ah yes, so adding on top of drugging the food the food has chemicals in it, correct?

Yeah, in fact the hospital that I work at usually serves A, but why bring this up?

Well I think it should be obvious that due to this; people are starting to go on hunger strikes and are scared to leave their homes, meaning that we need to get to the bottom of this and work on finding the source of where Pig Boy got the food from.

While I'm sure other restaurants and grocery stores aren't connected to Despair, they might not even be aware they are coming from the same supplier by accident.
