so many emotions looking at these panels… I’m so glad nene has aoi holding her through this and so glad aoi gets to be included in the difficult parts of nenes life that she tries to protect aoi from, so glad she gets to be there for her best friend… yet so heartbroken because, as far as I can tell, this aoi is wholly of this world. she has no other memories. she’s not going back with them. all her friends have to leave her for a different aoi. in order to be happy and to restore their own lives and the lives of their loved ones, they have to leave this aoi behind. and all she can do is protect nene while she can, and hold onto her a little bit longer.

Yes aidairo we get it mitsukou and hananene parallels we know we know

[lincolnlogsnfrogs]

actual photo of me looking at mitsukou spoilers knowing damn well i won’t get the context for like a year (i always wait until i can get the physical paperback copies of the english translations which means i’m way behind) (seriously, like pre-aquarium date behind, wish me luck </333)

mitsukou is just a little bit more tragic than hanene in my opinion..

like.. yeah hanene is also super sad but i feel like mitsukou just.. hits a little harder??

maybe its cause they were in the same class and he knew him when he was alive. nene didn't know hanako when he was alive, so.. it just feels a little less painful for her.

kou literally watched mitsuba die. and on top of that he met him again in the hell of mirrors and mitsuba had no memory of him.

also these two panels make me cry inside every time without fail.

WITH HIM LEAVING THE CAMREA?? LIKE STOP IT PLEASE GOD

(also when Kou developed the pictures and was looking at them and he found the one mitsuba took of him.. particularly heart wrenching.)

but wait! theres more!!

its so awesome and great and im didnt cry at all haha.

but seriously i cant with them. kou was just so willing to die FOR MITSUBA.

(even if it was in the picture perfect word and he *probably* wouldn't have died for real..)

mitsuba jumpscare wjnwsrnh

its not tragic just really fucking gay

he watched mitsuba die (pretty much die) AGAIN.

bro straight up asked him to kill him i fucking cant.

LIKE THESE TRAGIC GAY DORKS

IM SOBBING

now that I think about it, aren't all the stories I'm consuming right now in the deep depths of angsty hell?

some more thoughts on this art before we (probably) return to the red house tomorrow!!

i think what strikes me the most about this art is the difference in hanako’s and tsukasa’s tsueshiros. I love that tsukasa’s seem stable, whereas hanako’s look like they’re spiraling, or unraveling. I feel like that really represents their mental states/points of view: tsukasa, very sure of his choices and making progress towards the wishes he’s aiming to grant; vs hanako, who can never seem to know what it is he wants to do, and who can never find the right way to do it.

even just in this moment alone, hanako vacillates so much, from love to heartbreak. he says he knows, but to me that face reads less like he’s sure of himself and much more like he’s coming undone. meanwhile, there’s tsukasa, keeping calm as hanako unravels above him, keeping his head and assessing the situation at hand.

i love the representation of tsukasa as stability and hanako as instability, especially given that tsukasa is the one who advocates for letting people and supernaturals be how they want, to break the laws of the world, whereas hanako supposedly believes in maintaining order in the status between the human and supernatural worlds.

these two pieces of art are also interesting, especially in the order they were released, because hanako’s left hand seems to go from holding his knife to holding tsukasa’s (notably, not super alive looking) hand to his own cheek. could this represent a choice hanako has to make? or maybe instead, a progression of events?

I also find it very interesting how this art makes hanako’s haku joudai look like smoke, given our impending return to the red house…
