#tashiro gonzaburo

[purplecelestial-buddy]

I should never be allowed to think too hard about the animals Harusono choose to represent each guy.

Having said that, given that, Tashiro is a hedgehog and also a gamer I'm really surprised about the fact that I've never seen fanart or any mediums where he's related to Sonic.

[ID: 9 drawings of Tashiro Gonzaburou from Sasaki to Miyano in various states of finished and in a wide variety of poses and expressions. Most are smiling and happy, while a few have a more serious expression. The middle image specifically shows Shirahama bleaching Tashiro’s hair, as if Tashiro were taking a selfie in the middle of the process. The rest are non-contextual. /End ID]

[ID: A digital illustration of Tashiro Gonzaburou and Shirahama Kyouji from Sasaki to Miyano. They are sat on the floor of Tashiro’s room, next to his bed, holding video game controllers. Tashiro sits cross-legged and is leaned forward with a concentrated look on his face. Shirahama is relaxed in a half-crossed position with one leg up, and he is smiling while talking and looking over at Tashiro. Tashiro’s room is colorful, with many patterns and pillows and posters on the wall. It is rendered in vibrant greens, oranges, and blues, in a rough, painterly style. They are lit from the front, as if from the glow of a TV. The artist’s signature “sunnfish 2024” is written below the bed. /End ID]

He wasn't thinking when he approached the model, who gathered his things up. "Excuse me, would you mind staying just another 30 minutes?" And then, because he thought incentive would help added, "I'll buy you a drink after. You're a good model." 

Niibashi didn't compliment often, and it felt foreign on his tongue. 

"For real? Absolutely!" He was all but jumping in place. "I needed an excuse to skip ping pong club, if I'm being honest." He shot a quick text off and turned his attention to Niibashi once more, hand extended. "Tashiro Gonzaburo, by the way." 

 He responded in kind. "Niibashi Juuya." 

While they shook hands, Niibashi took in the differences. His own hand was covered with streaks of chalk, and paint lingered under his fingernails. When they were clean, he prided himself on his well kept hands. Tashiro's were rough, calloused, and the way he gripped Niibashi's hand felt oddly safe, secure.

Sho Harusono's Boys Love Manga Sasaki and Miyano Gets TV Anime by Studio DEEN in 2022

    A TV anime adaptation of Sho Harusono's boys love manga Sasaki to Miyano / Sasaki and Miyano is confirmed to be in the works by Studio DEEN (Junjo Romantica, Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi - World's Greatest First Love) for a premiere in 2022. The anime's official website also opened to reveal its key visual, main staff, and voice cast members.

  Based on the author's Sasaki to Miyano no Chottoshita Hanashi (Sasaki and Miyano's Little Story) which was originally posted on pixiv, it was retitled Sasaki to Miyano / Sasaki and Miyano and has been serialized on the Gene Pixiv website since 2016.

  The story begins when Yoshikazu Miyano, a fudanshi (a boy who loves the boys love genre) who has a complex about his feminine face, meets a slightly delinquent senior, Shumei Sasaki, on a summer day. For some reason, Miyano is liked by Sasaki, and asked by him to lend his favorite manga. Sasaki, on the other hand, is gradually attracted to Miyano, whose eyes are sparkling as he talks about BL.

  All of the main voice cast of the previously-released drama CDs will reprise their roles in the anime as well. Shinji Ishihira (Log Horizon, FAIRY TAIL) is attached to direct, alongside series composition writer Yoshiko Nakamura (Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle) and character designer Maki Fujii (Bladedance of Elementalers).

regularly scheduled gon-chan

[sunnnfish]

oh my GOD where do I begin. Uhhhmmm. Okay. So Love & Passion is a chapter is the Sasaki and Miyano: First Years novel. Every chapter in that book is from a different characters perspective, and Love & Passion is from Tashiro’s POV. It is mostly about tashiros first year of high school and his joining of the ping pong club. Here look at the cover illustration

Going under a cut now due to exceeding length.

So like. There’s like. A Lot. Certifiably. Especially if you’re a tashiro enthusiast like me. Phenomenal characterization and narration that is usually very fun and lighthearted and tashiro-esque!

Gonzaburo Tashiro, first-year. At the moment, I’m facing an insurmountable barrier.

^ First lines of the chapter. He’s continuously very silly and like. Dramatic narrator. Yknow.

And such a personality lends itself to awfully poignant lines of crippling sincerity and simplicity that make me bawl my eyes out.

I don’t get it. What happened to the loneliness?

But of course tashiro doesn’t exist in a void to we have our delightful cast of his dear friends and acquaintances! Middle school bestie shirahama, who gets him into This Whole Mess (I’ll get to that later). Dearest Hanzawa Masato, who he makes various umh. Comments about.

“Game, set!” announced the referee, a second-year.

Man, he sounds so cool saying that.

…

As I stood there, drooping mentally and physically, I was approached by the guy who had refereed our match—the club’s vice president, Hanzawa.

And last but CERTAINLY not least. Dearest dearest previous president of the ping pong club!!!!

There he is. The saulty little binch on the right.

And if you’re wondering why we call him that. Well. He’s never given a name. Ha ha! But he has such a presence. The way he speaks and moves and looks feels so intentionally intense and like. designed. He’s so on purpose. Makes me wonder if we’ll ever get a spinoff of hanzawa masato[GETS SHOT] ha ha sorry who said that. Anyways

Dearest previous president (prev pres for short) and hanzawa torment poor tashiro. Endlessly. From the moment he joined the club—which was kind of an accident (he and shirahama joined just to check it out but eventually wanted to quit, but to quit you had to win a ping pong match. Shirahama won his match against a newbie easy peasy. Tashiro got matched up against the president of the club himself. Obviously couldn’t win and thus forced to join the club permanently)—from the moment he joined the club, prev pres and hanzawa are like. All over him. Obsessed with him. He tries to skip practice but both of them come drag him out of him classroom to come practice.

But despite his desire to not really be there, he takes club so seriously. He’s so sincere about it. He knows everyone else there is really passionate about ping pong so he cant let himself be the odd man out and rain on everyone’s parade. And this paradox—being so avoidant of the club but coming to care about it and bond with other members—really catches the eye of dearest prev pres.

“I thought Tashiro’d be spoiling for a fight, but he isn’t. That’s what makes him a genius worthy of my inner circle. Remember that, Hanzawa, ‘cause when I graduate, you’re gonna be the next club president.”

“Yes, sir.”

“And I think that guy might be a good successor to you!”

Dearest tashiro overhears this and promptly realizes the two freaks he’s met will not let him out of this. Ever. But he tells himself he’ll decline the offer. Surely they’ll find “someone more appropriate. Someone more serious about the club, maybe.”

And this is what like. Gets to the heart of this chapter. Love & Passion. AND REALLY QUICK touching on the fact that all the other chapters are named in ways that refer to specific characters. They’re all in pairs, and the chapter cover art reflects that too. She & Kuresawa. Miyano & Kuresawa. Sasaki & Miyano. Senior & Junior. SO IT MAKES YOU THINK. Who is love and who is passion. Anyways Tashiro meets and knows these various people around him and they’re all so passionate about what they do and what they like. Shirahama ends up joining the basketball club and gets really into it. Miyano and kuresawa are passionate about their books and clubs. Hanzawa and previous president are passionate about ping pong. Tashiro is passionate about… ? he doesn’t really know.

We so rarely know what other people’s passions are.

“Are you into anything, Tashiro?” Ms. Toyoda asked, and I flinched.

“Uh, me? I dunno. I guess I hadn’t really thought about it.” I racked my brain for anything I might be passionate about, but nothing came to mind.”

Later in the chapter he participates in a ping pong tournament and its like. He’s like the rush of it all and cheering for him teammates and stuff but. He doesn’t cry like everyone else when he loses.

Still, when I saw players from other school practically weeping when they lost, I couldn’t help wondering: What made them so different from me? I didn’t have the passion within me to cry when I lost.

Maybe that’s what real passion looks like. What did I have, then?

…

But something held me back, a sense that ‘passion’ was reserved for something you really, truly loved. Something you couldn’t replace, couldn’t even dream of giving up.

Ping-pong isn’t exactly the hill I would die on. But then again…

And he kinda goes through this arc where its like. Im not passionate about this like everyone else. But it has given me a goal to work towards.

And amidst all that We also get into what tashiro gets up to outside of school. Namely, he frequents a bath house where hes become the grandchild of all the old people that also frequent the place. And he also practices ping pong with his new grandpas, because he totally doesnt care about ping pong. He just. Wants to win. So he can beat the president and leave. Yeah thats it.

But he never does get around to beating the president before he has to graduate. Queue the moment that makes me the most insane

“So you’re never coming back, President?” I said.

“I ain’t President anymore.”

“Not the point! I haven’t beat you yet…” I clenched my fists, a yawning, lonely feeling of loss opening within me.

“Ahh. You mean the thing about getting to quit if you win? The next president’ll keep that promise. Dont’ you worry.”

“What?”

I don’t get it. What happened to the loneliness?

The new president—in other words, Hanzawa.

This like. Special relationship hes had with the president. This game of cat and mouse remains unfulfilled. And he feels loss and he feels lonely about it. But at the same time he can renew that relationship with Hanzawa. And it suddenly doesn’t feel so lonely anymore. And its the simplicity and bluntness of this whole exchange is what really sells it—tashiro is not particularly eloquent. He’s brash and blunt but extremely observant. And thats reflected in his chapters. He recognizes the ways other people interact with the world and their expressions and language. And its so like. Factual to him. It is the way it is. And that observancy is applied to himself too. This feels lonely. Oh. This doesn’t feel lonely anymore. But he doesnt necessarily have the self-reflection to understand why he feels certain things. Anyways.

And amidst all THAT theres these few moments where he gets this really weird adjacency to queerness. Like. If i had a nickel for every moment he asked about queer people, id have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but its strange it happened twice.

First one:

Miyano’s hobby was man-on-man romance comics. I sometimes wondered about that (like, even though he’s a guy?),

Second one, where hes relaxing in the bathhouse common area and is listening to the old ladies talk about yuri.

Finally, I asked, “What’s yuri?”

“You don’t know? It’s stories of love between girls!”

“Huh, Haven’t heard of that one before…” I guess Ms. Toyoda and her friends had been into reading that sort of thing many years ago, and now their interest was being rekindled thanks to their grandchildren. “I didn’t realize women liked stories about girl-on-girl love, too…”

And its like. ITS NOT MUCH I KNOW. But it really is so weird it happened twice. Why did author Hachijo Kotoko do this. What does it mean. AND THEN IT ALL COMES BACK TO THE TITLE. Love & Passion.

I may not have that burning love that Miyano or Ms. Toyoda have, I thought.

Like. Specifically calling out the love miyano and Ms. Toyoda have. For queer stories. It sits so strange with me. Oddly meaningful but i dont know what it means.

Anyways. There’s also a really good shirahama and tashiro moment that i could get into but. I wont. Yet.

Anyways again. All that writing and i feel like i haven’t even touched on everything. Did not talk nearly enough about hanzawa’s presence but like. It’s very specific and hard to explain. But i also have an incessant desire to just quote like the entire chapter. So just go try to read it if you can. I unfortunately don’t know of any sources online but who knows. The book also has a second tashiro pov chapter so like. Cannot recommend it enough. I love tashiro gonzaburou so so much. He’s everything to me. Peace and love on planet tashiro.
