My Fave Is Problematic: Scum’s Wish

CONTENT WARNING for discussions of sexual assault and unhealthy relationships. SPOILERS for the entirety of the Scum’s Wish anime.

There’s a scene towards the end of the first episode of Scum’s Wish that perfectly encapsulates what makes this show unique among its contemporaries. The female lead, Hanabi, and an unnamed boy stand against the wall of the school building, low and to the side of a shot that is dominated by the fresh-grown leaves of spring, in a framing that feels familiar.

This is a love story. We understand this.

Hanabi rejects him, polite and distant, and this too, we understand. By eighteen minutes into the first episode, we already know the two men in Hanabi’s life who might capture her romantic attention, and so the inclusion of this new boy never carries a threat of disrupting the show’s central romances. Rather, this scene exists to position Hanabi as popular in her social circle, desirable to men, and graceful in her rejection of them. We see this scene, and we see Hanabi as a Beautiful Girl, but also as a Good Girl, and a Nice Girl, and a Thoughtful Girl. She’s a girl we can support.

At least, that’s the expectation.

The boy grabs her arm and pulls her around to face him once more. He’s waited a week for her answer, he protests. With an expression that can be read as confused, disappointed, and disdainful all in one, he tells Hanabi that she “built up [his] expectations,” as if that will change her mind. As his arm drops to his side, Hanabi turns to face him and pauses for a moment, before delivering a line that contextualizes all of what Scum’s Wish does well.

Anime Review: Kuzu no Honkai

Mature content, 18+ anime

Kuzu no Honkai/ Scum's wish explores the theme of painful love and loneliness. Both the leads are in love with people they can't have. They both, therefore, decide to date each other as a replacement for the one they cannot have. This leads them to take impulsive actions that affect them as well as the people around them. It's like they are stuck in a spider web from which they cannot escape.

The 12-episode anime is quite intriguing as it consistently delves into darker depths. Might give a somewhat "Domestic Girlfriend" vibes, but if you liked that anime, then this one should definitely be on your watchlist. At times you might feel like punching some characters but in the end, everyone reaches emotional stability. The anime is well-paced and it really represents complex emotions in an easy-to-relate manner. Every character has their own idea of love- twisted or not- and it shows how selfish one can be to have their desires fulfilled! Had me up a whole night( quite literally)! Give it a try, I assure you wouldn't regret it.

Scum’s Wish Ending Explained

In this post, I will go over the Scum’s Wish Ending explained / Kuzu No Honkai Ending explained. The anime received high reviews due to its emotional story which made it a great watch for many viewers. The…

Spell out your url using characters you love from any media. then, tag as many people as there are letters in your url ( or however many you'd like ! ) inspired by the song titles dashboard game.

Q - Qiu Tong, Tamen de Gushi. Ngl, finding a character with a Q name was tough haha. Qiu Tong is a good choice tho, both for how big TdG was in my circles when it was at its peak, and the sad story of what happened to it. Free my girls!

U - Utena Tenjou, Revolutionary Girl Utena. Utena is too hard to watch to be my favorite anime, but I do think it's kind of the perfect anime, and I will truly never be free from taking inspiration from Utena herself when making characters.

I - Itto Arataki, Genshin Impact. My girlfriend played Genshin Impact and I was thinking about picking it up, but I wasn't totally sure, and then I saw this guy. History made.

C - Claire François, I'm In Love With The Villainess. I love the villainess genre, absolutely oversaturated with slop though it may be. This one is a fave, and what I like about Claire is that she has multiple arcs. So many examples of this genre use isekai or reincarnation explanations to sand off the rough edges, and while I think Claire is very sympathetic, the light novels show that she has to prove her good intentions and overcome her prejudices.

K - Kotori Minami, Love Live! She's not the strongest character, really, but I just like her a lot. Love Live! meant a lot to me when I was like, 21-22.

D - Dale Cooper, Twin Peaks. Gosh what a performance, huh? I was obsessed with this show in college, and the absolute weirdo energy brought to this character has never left my brain. I really gotta watch the new season.

E - Edelgard von Hresvelg, Fire Emblem: Three Houses. She's not my fave FE3H character, but I do like her a lot, and unfortunately the discourse around her is the clearest portrait I've ever seen of fandom misogyny. The double-standards, the flattening of motivations, the lack of credit or benefit of the doubt that male characters got easily, it's all there. Edelgard they could never make me hate you.

A - A2, NieR: Automata. This is a stand-in for her, 2B, and 9S, honestly. NieR: Automata is one of my all-time faves, with a story that I loved the whole way through. For me, they are "frequently bought together, do not separate them," but A2 is the only one whose name actually starts with a letter, so she gets the honor.

T - Tahani Al-Jamil, The Good Place. This is kind of another "ensemble" pick since it is hard to choose, although Tahani might be my favorite of the main four cast. I don't watch a ton of TV, but I honestly devoured this whole show in like... maybe three weeks? I love the characters, and I loved the story, and while The Office and Parks and Recreation never really hit for me, this definitely did. With Tahani specifically, it helps that I love Jameela Jamil.

H - Hanabi Yasuraoka, Scum's Wish. This is a hard manga to recommend, and Hanabi is a hard character to love, but it lined up for me at a time where I needed to read things about characters who weren't great people but still deserved the hope that the could be better. Fun fact, an article I wrote about my relationship to the anime for a website is, I believe, the first time I was ever paid for my writing.

S - Saeko Sawatari, How Do We Relationship? I could honestly talk about Sae forever. HDWR is maybe my favorite romance manga of all time, and Sae is relatable to me in ways I find affirming and representative, and also deeply uncomfortable. Sometimes I'll be reading normally, and then Sae will say something that feels like the kind of thing I'd write in a diary and then throw into the ocean strapped to fifty pound weights due to being too honest and vulnerable. I can't explain all the things that I see reflected back at myself from her, and honestly, I probably wouldn't want to. All I can say is that she's such a special character to me.

Tagging: Normally I would tag people, but I did just do a dash meme recently and also tags are like busted for some reason for me like what's up with that. If you want to do it, though, I think you should and you can say I tagged you and it'll be our secret.

Scum’s Wish 1

Hanabi Yasuraoka e Mugi Awaya, una ragazza e un ragazzo di bell’aspetto, nonché studenti dalla condotta irreprensibile, sono uniti da una relazione sentimentale guardata da tutti con invidia e ammirazione. I due sembrano davvero la coppia perfetta, ma a unirli indissolubilmente è in realtà un “segreto” che non possono rivelare a nessuno… Già, perché nonostante le apparenze Mugi e Hanabi non sono…
