having now read the manga one of the funniest things to me now is watching people talk about Sugishita's hair when watching the anime and assuming he's like. a raggedy man with split ends who doesn't do shit with his hair or whatever. And the reality is the man gets hair treatments once a month???? he just hates tying it up.

This is not a raggedy man with untamed hair, this is a vain motherfucker with long luscious locks of hair he refuses to tie up, cut or hide.

That long hair is a risk in a fight and a sign of cockiness and indulgence because he still loves that long hair enough to keep it and maintain it.

That's the opposite of the raggedy neglectful long hair trope. this delinquent has long hair because of hard work and effort. That hair's probably healthier than I am.

#seph reads wind breaker #I'm trying to figure out the right level to read into this series #because I'm starting to feel like I will start becoming a charlie day conspiracy theorist if I'm not careful #but I think the inclusion of everyone styling products is part of the theme #or at least one of the themes which is just masculine adolescence in all its forms #which includes that insecurity and desire to look good and grooming which I don't think shows up enough #I like that so many of the guys in wind breaker have styling stuff #wish it could be worked into the anime somehow since it mostly fits into the profiles in the manga...#knowing sugishita is not a raggedy punk but instead a well groomed punk is very important #I know I'm kinda late to this ride I'm sorry it's still really cool
