"this was the first faint note of the prelude of the tragedy which presently was to end all hopes of any natural, joyous life for me— for ever after. i believe that although one may seem to go on living, there are some sorrows that kill. one's body may drag along its weary way on earth, but one's spirit is crushed— for ever crushed. i have heard people speak of the ennobling influence of sorrow. i can only say that those last few days of my life, before the blow fell, were actually the last days of my spiritual life. ever since then i have had only one desire— to fly— to fly— to fly from the horror of it, and my life has been but a series of weird flights from it all; and all life has been to me but as a phantom ship upon a phantom ocean."

Jáouviu falar de Junji Ito? Considerado um dos maiores mangakas de terror japonês da atualidade, Ito é famoso por criar diversas estórias de terror, exaltando uma genialidade que constrói uma personalidade única e cativante presente em todas os seus quadrinhos, reunindo leitores ao redor do mundo e formando uma poderosa base de fãs. Suas páginas de mangás foram impressas e traduzidas em vários países, popularizando cada vez mais seu nome. Eventualmente, diversos estúdios apareceram para fazer adaptações em live action e anime, esperando pescar parte dessa grande audiência e também divulgar a grandeza do autor. Desde os anos 2000, o mangaka teve mais de 20 obras adaptadas, o que não é pouca coisa.

“Maniac” ou “Histórias Macabras do Japão” é a mais atual delas, uma animação original Netflix de 20 contos divididos em 12 episódios, buscando trazer uma experiência assustadora para os amantes de Junji Ito.

Automaticamente, toda adaptação provoca alguns questionamentos, como: “Será que isso é fiel ao mangá?” ou “Será que o mangá é melhor?”.

Ao assistir “Maniac”, a primeira surpresa são características técnicas: pouco de detalhamento na arte, baixa quantidade de frames e uma trilha sonora genérica, visto que estamos em uma geração de animes gananciosa no uso de tecnologias em cores, texturas e rápido movimento.

No material original, é evidente a qualidade que Ito entrega na composição sombras, texturas e expressões faciais. Ver “Maniac” garante um choque instantâneo nesse quesito, mas não um grande descontentamento.

Nesta adaptação, podemos ver ótimos episódios como “Balões Pendurados” e alguns contos de Tomie e Souichi (personagens recorrentes de Ito) nos concedem uma pontinha de nostalgia.

Alguns contos conseguem se sustentar, considerando os roteiros e o pouco da personalidade de Ito, mas este pouco não sustenta uma experiência completa.

“Maniac” tenta trazer uma animação complexa e assustadora, abraça a nostalgia dos fãs e apresenta uma pequena fração do autor, mas, nesse caso, o mangá é bem melhor.

Levando tudo em consideração, pontuamos “Maniac” com 2/5, pipoquinhas: é uma adaptação interessante para os que não conhecem a obra de Ito, mas dificilmente agrada aos fãs.

ooohhh so many changes with the anime and manga of mashiro no oto actually wowzer they cut off a lot of things like taketo being relevant and showing rai wasn't the one that gave setsu advice but taketoooo i seee.... there's so much differences actually i don't think i can name it all... orz i guess i'll talk about the ones i thought was neat!

the part where souichi gets back home from school and notices that mai was eating his popsicle and mai replacing it with a different flavor and shutting himself in his room was awesome actually not bc that happened to him but i like that they did that :) showed more of souichi's character and show how he is as a person

was a bit disappointed they didn't show much of him during the anime and the anime equivalent of that scene only showed him enjoying the popsicle and mai was doing whatever she was doing originally without him interrupted

the other difference i really liked is umeko sky diving instead of getting a massage before she learns souichi joined a tsugaru shamisen club doesn't really affect the scene but i thought it was funny that she was just skydiving for kicks

biggest difference from the anime to the manga though that like changes much of the parts of the story is that the manga is clearly set during the late 2000s while the anime adaptation is modernized and set in like present time i wouldn't say it was a bad decision to set it in the present time but it makes some of the parts in the story more confusing i guess? like me and my sister were wondering how old exactly matsugorou and maeda's grandma was bc maeda's grandma was talking about having to be evacuated to the countryside bc of a war i think and me and my sister just kept getting confused bc she would've been reaaaaally old especially matsugorou

but since reading the manga it cleared it up since it would make more sense if the story was set in about 2009-2010 or maybe even earlier into the 2000s and the ages would match up at that point... idk there was also the scene with setsu asking kaito if he had a cassette tape played in the manga setsu didn't have one bc he just doesn't while the anime had to make kaito an audiophile to explain he had a cassette tape player it doesn't bother me at all i just thought it was funny there's also the whole thing with tv broadcasts still being a thing and people using emails in the manga while the anime's equivalent is livestreams and texting it's really fun to see the difference ^_^ hehe i guess that'd explain mai's whole thing about being a woman in a mostly male space and her struggling to be a competent player compared to her brother but i haven't gotten to that part so i'll just wait and see how that plays out

oh also the manga i say is better for showing more of the characters especially setsu's feelings while the anime is amazing at showing the visuals and sounds of the shamisen as well as character's reactions to it and showing more of the story's setting i'm not saying the opposite does a bad job than the other i fairly enjoyed the characters in the anime as well and the visuals of the shamisen playing is beautiful as well in the manga i just think they compliment each other! so if anyone actually reads it i think watching the anime and the manga is a good idea they compliment each other yeaaaaaah o)-<

#smiiiiiling o)-<#i don't think i've been this. expressive on an anime/manga i wanted to watch bc i got bored of stuff and wanted to watch something #didn't realize i wrote so much actually... sorry to people who read through it teehee #unrelated to my wall of text: i kindaaa don't like people in the comments of the site going like ''ooooh i don't ship setsu and [girl]''#or ''despite their age gap setsu and yuna (who is 22 while setsu is 16) was cute! i hope i see her again''#CAN'T YOU PLEASE JUST READ THE STORY AND NOT CARE FOR SHIPPING FOR ONE FUCKING MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#story about a guy who wants to find himself and a way to express himself through the shamisen without having to rely on his grandfather's-#legacy and you focus on SHIPPING HIM WITH GIRLS WHO ONE OF THEM IS AN ADULT WHILE HE IS A TEENAGER???!!!? SHUT UUUUUUUUP #also other things that captivated me to the story but yes. i haaaaaaaate fandom culture i haaaaaaaaate shipping. took me a bit to realize i #but i know nooow..... soo wise...

Is this blog dead or are you busy?

Hey! Droppin' an out of character response cause this deserves a solid answer. The short answer is; regrettably I would class Souichi Presents as on a Indefinite Hiatus... but positively, the main reason why is because I stumbled into a job I really love. I'll probably never officially class this blog as 'closed' because there'll always be a part of me that wants to write another review in here. Y'all might be surprised at how often it crosses my mind. Regrettably, I got a very low bar of energy, but I still love Junji Itos work to pieces, and I'm still very proud of the work I did here. And the good news is... if folks read this blog, and liked my sense of humor, observation on details, and shit-postery, I've wound up streaming with my best dag friend as Frankenbugs! You can find us at twitch.tv/facefullabugs !, or you can check out our vods on youtube Right Over Heah. Including a full playthrough of us playing through Resident Evil 8, where you can find out what an actual baby I am about live horror. But yeah! Das p much the rub. I fell off running this blog because my disability got worse, and I was graduating school, and then just... was figurin' out how to get by. But if anyone out there has been worried, or just wants to know where I'm at: I'm actually... doing good! Despite everything out there, I'm safe, p stable, loved, with friends, and doing something I love. And I still actually think about Souichi. I like to think he wound up with a place of his own- probably still went to his class reunions just to be wierd at people. Probably owns more cats. Probably keeps in touch with his cousin now and then. I like to think he's happy. I hope y'all are too. And maybe eventually, Souichi will return.

My present for @souichioneshots to wish a happy birthday.

Souichi x birthday! reader

Ok I know he seems like someone who wouldn't care, but he would remember your birthday, as soon as it hits midnight expect a message from him, he wouldn't act like he care tho.

"So... 10th November... your birthday huh? Not like I care, it's just 1 year nearer death... but since you seem to care about it so much... happy birthday I guess..."

Would be less an asshole that day.

Wants to spend that day with you and will get jealous if other people start talking to you, making you not on purpose ignore him.

ඞඞඞඞඞඞඞඞamongusඞඞඞඞඞඞඞඞ

"Oi! Eli!" as you turn around you see souichi leaving his house and running to you.

It turned into a daily thing that you both went together to school, once you houses weren't that far.

"Uhm anyways... I... お誕生日おめでとう."

'Awn thanks souichi that's so sweet of yo-'

"Not like I care tho, it's less 1 year you have to live."

'........'

As soon as you entered your (both) classroom people had started surrounding you with "happy birthdays" and some of them with little gifts.

You made sure to thank them all and to see the gifts some had bought, although as you did so you didn't noticed you were ignoring a certain boy.

Souichi was annoyed to say the least, he wanted to spend your day with you but you didn't want to spend it with him! "Maybe it's because I didn't bought her something..." He wondered as he sees you talking ever so happy with your colleagues and friends, "Tsk, not like I have to anyways."

As the day went on people wouldn't stop talking to you, and that was deeply bothering Souichi, he thought in cursing them all but he didn't want you mad at him (deep inside he knew it was because he didn't want to ruin your birthday with his jealousy but he would never say it out loud, likely to get an excuse like "he didn't have the materials".).

You even had spend lunch with them all!

In class was no better, you were giggling with some people as other students were begging to the teacher if they could sing the birthday song. The teacher eventually allowed and everyone started screaming the lyrics and clapping hands.

When it was time to go home Souichi didn't even bothered waiting for you, he just assumed that you were busy with your friends like you were all day and wouldn't come for you two to go home together like you always did.

He packed his things and left, not even saying bye, he stopped in some shops before going home, only to send you a message and leave again.

'Meet me in this location...' you read the location as you get confused of his message, so first he left without you or saying anything and now wants you to go over to him?

You decided to go anyways, mostly curious to see what he wanted.

The moment you got there you could see him visually tense and holding something, although you couldn't see what as his back was facing you.

You got closer and tapped on his shoulder, 'Souichi?' he jumped and gave a little scream with your sudden apparition as he pretended he didn't.

"Oi warn me before you do something like that!"

'Did I scare you?'

"Pfft of course not!"

Now closer you could get a better glimpse of what he was holding, but still not visible enough.

'What's that?' You finally decided to ask.

"Ah! This...." He pauses as he tried to find an excuse, when he couldn't think in nothing he just gives up. "This was something I brought you, I didn't know what you exactly liked and disliked but I hope you like this, tsk, be happy I even bothered to get you something, you ungrateful..."

You knew how he was so you decided to ignore his last sentence. As you open the nicely wrapped box (which was noticeable he surely had help of his siblings to wrap it) you could see some Japanese horror movie with candies spread above, you lifted the movie only to see a magic book about spells and witches.

'Souichi I-... I don't know what to say, thanks you so much!'

"It's not all..."

Your confusion dissappears as he points to the corner of the box and you see a little key chain of your favorite character.

'OH MY GOD IT'S SO CUTE-'

He may though you were distracted appreciating it but in your peripheral vision you could see him with a little smile.

"Uhm so... is that enough for you to... I don't know... give me attention...?"

You then realized what he was doing and the fact that you ignored him all day, hugging him and apologizing you say :

'well the day isn't over yet, why don't we go see the movie you bought me at my house?'

Souichi x Farmer!Reader

Souichi goes to visit one of his oldest farmer friends for some straw. In return, he makes her a voodoo doll and things get a litttlleee steamy

ahaha idk lol

Souichi heavily breathed through his mouth as he continued to walk down the treeless path. The summer sun shining down on him was making him sweat bullets, and having a large leather satchel cling to his body was starting to make him feel sick.

“Why does she have to live so far away…” Souichi mumbled to himself as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Passing a couple more rice fields, a large Japanese-style cottage finally came into view. It was surrounded by a couple of mango trees and 2 PVC greenhouses. He could see from the outside that they were once again filled completely with strawberries and tomatoes.

As he approached the house, he realized that all of the cars were gone. He thought for a second that he came all this way for nothing, but then he heard a familiar voice echoing in the distance.

“Kuro! Way to me! Shiro! Lie down! Hairo! Lie down!!” Souichi quickly made his way to the back of the house, where the voice was coming from.

As he pushed past a large bush, he finally saw you. You had been herding a large trip of white-tan goats and your 3 dogs, Kuro, Shiro, and Hairo were also doing their best to keep the goats in place.

“Y/N!” Souichi called out from a distance, getting your attention.

“Hmm? Souichi!!” You turned around and called back, jumping slightly in the air.

Souichi laughed as the goats also turned in his direction and let out a little “meh” sound as a greeting.

“Give me a second. I’ll be done in a bit.”

Souichi watched from under the shade of a tree as you continued to order your dogs to do their job.

You and Souichi had been friends for as long as he could remember. It was actually his grandmother who introduced him to you when he was younger. She used to get straw and other ritualistic material from your family when she practiced magick, and now he was getting stuff from you as well.

Today, he had come for his usual satchel fill of straw, and anything else you would give him as a gift. You loved to give him gifts. From fresh rice, to mangos, and even white strawberries.

Everyone in the town knew your family used magick because there was no way mangos nor white strawberries could grow in the weather conditions this part of Japan had to offer.

“Sorry for the wait!” You held onto your straw hat as you ran up to the boy. “We actually built a new barn last week for the straw. It’s this way.”

Getting up from his spot, Souichi walked with you to a small open barn located on the other side of your house.

“Woah…” Souichi looked up in awe at the massive amount of straw you had stored up this season.

“Pretty impressive, right? It’s the largest haul we’ve had in years. Praise Ninigi.” Turning towards the sun, you bowed once. Souichi quickly turned with you and did the same.

You laughed a bit at his sudden action. You knew that without his grandmother around, he wasn’t sure how to act in these types of situations. So, he mostly just copied you.

Putting your hand out, you gestured for Souichi to give you his satchel.

"Do you need me to tie them up or can I just stuff it in here?" You asked as you walked over to a large pile of loose straw.

"Just like that is fine." Souichi replied.

Picking up a handful of straw, you neatly placed it inside. When it was finally full enough, you closed it up and handed it back to the boy.

Although it was a lot, it still felt surprisingly light. Hopefully, it won't go to waste this time.

Sitting on a large straw stack, you took off your hat. You shook your head side to side as your long hair flowed from inside the hat and down onto the straw you were sitting on. You had been growing your hair out since kindergarten. Never cutting it once. Just the sheer length of it made you look like a goddess yourself. Although it was a big distraction when you worked, you planned on using your ‘virgin uncut hair’ in future rituals. At least, that’s what you told Souichi.

Patting the empty space next to you, you asked Souichi to sit next down.

“Ma actually took away the voodoo doll you made me last time you came over… Think you can you make me a new one…” You said in a sad voice as you looked at the boy.

“Again?” Souichi replied, sighing loudly.

Although your family practiced black magick in order to keep the farming business alive, you were strictly forbidden from practicing curses and other types of voodoo until you turned ○○. In the meanwhile, your mother forced you to tend to the farm and learn how to be a proper worker. That’s why whenever Souichi came over, in exchange for whatever he wanted, he would teach you anything he knew about black magick in secret.

Currently, you were learning how to make straw voodoo dolls.

You didn’t really have anyone in particular that you wanted or needed to curse, but you wanted to be prepared just in case anything happened in the future.

You smiled widely as the raven-haired boy took out a pair of pruning shears and red string from the front pocket of his satchel.

Grabbing a couple handfuls of straw, you placed them on your lap for him to freely use.

“Don’t look at me like that. You’re making it by yourself this time.” He sternly said.

“Eh~? But I’m tired from doing chores all morning…I’ll give ya a kilogram of rice if you make this one for me~” Souichi just shook his head no. He would need a better incentive if you wanted him to do this for you again.

“Hmmm…Aha! I’ll give you a whole box of fresh white strawberries as well!” Souichi smiled as you offered him exactly what he wanted. There was a reason your family sold their strawberries for over 20,000 yen a box. Getting them for free from you was one of the best parts of coming over.

“Fine. But this is the last time. And pay attention this time.” Humming happily, you handed him a handful of straw.

“First, make a circle with your thumb and index finger. Then place enough straw to fill it completely. When you get the right amount, you use some string to… Uhh... Hold this.”

Handing you the bundle of straw, he used the shears to cut a couple pieces of string to use.

“…Hold it up straight up…Yeah, like that. You tie up the top end around here. Next, you repeat this with another section of straw. When you finish that, you slide one section into the middle of the other. Then you just tie it up here, and here. Lastly, you part it in the middle for the leg sections… And then you tie up those ends and…Done!”

You let out a small whine as your mind failed to keep up with Souichi's speedy motions and vague explanation. You wanted to ask him to do it again, this time much slower, but you knew he would just go at the same speed again.

Cutting the extra pieces of straw that stuck out from the ends of the voodoo doll, he made it look presentable.

“So, what do you think? Pretty good, right?” Souichi proudly said as he handed it to you.

“Yeah! I think it might even be better than the one you made me last time!" You replied as you examined the doll in awe. "So, all I need in order to curse someone is their picture?” The straw crunched in your fingers as you opened up the chest section a bit.

“You can also use their hair, and at times when your hatred towards them is at its peak, you can just write down their name on a piece of paper, stuff it in the middle there, and it’ll work.”

You hummed in amusement as the boy once again explained to you the way straw voodoo dolls worked.

“Hair, huh…” You said to yourself in a voice so quiet not even Souichi could hear.

Moving closer to him, you spoke in a loving voice. “I never did thank you for the last doll you made me, did I?” Putting the doll down on the empty space next to you, you moved to place a quick kiss on the boy’s cheek. “Thank you.”

“Ah! Hehe…I-It was no problem… I can make you more anytime you want really…” Souichi turned his face away from you, trying to hide the blush that had grown on his cheeks.

You were always the affectionate type.

“Then, I should probably thank you in advance~” Bringing your hand to his face, you turned him towards you. Souichi’s body burned with embarrassment as you placed multiple kisses on his cheek again.

“You know, you can also thank me for always giving you so much straw~” You teased as you tapped your own cheek, hinting for him to give you a small kiss back.

Closing his eyes, Souichi moved to plant a kiss on your cheek. However, you also moved back to face him as well.

Souichi’s eyes shot open as you pressed your lips against his.

The remaining straw on your legs fell to the ground as you moved to straddle the blushing boy.

You were perhaps a bit too affectionate really.

But Souichi wasn’t complaining.

Souichi’s eyes fluttered closed as he melted into your kiss. Your hands caressed his face as you quickly deepened the kiss.

Souichi playfully bit your bottom lip as you tried to pull back for air, forcing you to return back to him. He liked to experiment with different ways of teasing you every time you spontaneously kissed him like this.

Slowly, your hands ran through his hair, making it messier than it was before.

"Ow!" Souichi pushed you back and yelled in pain as you suddenly pulled his hair.

Moving to sit up, you gloated.

“Haha! Now that I have your hair, you have to follow everything I say or I’ll curse you to death!” You laughed as you help up a single strand of dark hair. You were expecting Souichi to try to get it back from you, but he didn’t.

Looking back at you with an equally victorious smile, he moved his hands in front of you, showing off the contents it held.

“That makes two of us~ Kekekeke~”

Your smile dropped and your eyes widened in shock as you saw the shears in one hand and a large amount of your hair in another.

Bringing your hands up to your head, you felt the difference in hair length on each side.

“How could you…” Tears ran down your cheeks, making Souichi stop his cackling.

“I hate you!!” Pushing yourself off the boy, you got onto your feet and started to run towards your house. “I’m telling Baphomet!!”

The goats in the barn loudly cried as you mentioned the name of the deity your family religiously worshiped.

“Crap! No!! Y/N!!” Jumping off the straw-stack, Souichi threw your hair and the shears onto the ground.

“Wait!! I’m sorry!!” Souichi exclaimed as he chased after you.

Just before he could grab ahold of you, you ran into the house. You were so upset that you didn’t even bother to take off your shoes.

Souichi slipped on the grass as he tried to stop himself from going any further. He knew he couldn’t enter your house without your given permission.

Souichi felt his mind go into a panic as he saw you approach the large altar in your living room.

The goats in the barn cried even louder and banged their horns against the wooden walls as you pointed towards the boy outside your house.

Just before he could run away for safety, your three dogs surrounded him. Souichi let out a high-pitched cry of fear as the dogs barked and growled, forcing him to stay in place.

He made a big mistake messing with the daughter of the Baphomet worshiping family.

Family Reunion-Souichi Tsujii x Reader

Summary: You relive the past when you and Souichii shared classes and he had his fun with you. Now you're heading out to see his family for lunch and realize they've been keeping a secret.

"Hehehe."

I frowned when I heard that weird laughter and glanced back over my shoulder and saw the palest boy I've ever seen, that boy is Souichi Tsujii and unfortunately for me we share every single class together. Half of the school year had gone by and I still remember the first time I saw him, he gave me the creeps.

He would just giggle to himself randomly, stare far too long or talk to himself. The girls in class would come up to me and make me join their group whenever they were nearby since they saw he wouldn't keep his eyes off of me.

"And don't forget your essay tomorrow!" The teacher told us right when the bell rang and we all began leaving the classroom one by one.

"(Y/N)." I stopped and groaned internally when the teacher spoke my name, I turned around and looked at the tired man.

"Yes, sir?"

"I have to congratulate your well grades, you're one of the best students I've had for a long time. Because of your good grades I need you to do me a favor, you'll partner up with Souichi for a class presentation, you can choose any topic you'd like just make it educational."

"Thank you professor..no offense but could I maybe do it on my own?"

The man tilted his head and looked down at me. "How come?"

"Souichi ditched me, so last time I did it on my own."

The teacher covered his face in anger and began to mutter a few things. "That little creep! Where is he.. Souichi!"

"Ah!!" I look back and saw Souichi had jumped up in fear and slowly started to back away from the room.

"Yes?"

"You'll be helping young (Y/N), this time you hear me and quit backing up against the wall! Do this or I'll have to file a complaint to your parents."

And that's how it all started. The both of us silently started walking side by side, none of us bothering to talk first.

This is awkward..I held onto my backpack and continued looking straight ahead when I felt his dark sucken eyes on me, he really needs some sleep. I feel bad that his parents have to put up with him.

"You better help me out this time!" Souichi again jumped and huffed meanwhile chewing onto those nails he's so used to having.

"What if I don't wanna?"

"Then I'll beat your ass myself, meet me tomorrow outside of school and we'll get the job done." I huffed and started walking faster away from him.

"Curse you, curse you." I ignored Souichi who started talking to himself and left as soon as I could.

"Stupid teacher and stupid Souichi!"

I can't believe I have to do this dumb work, I'm probably not even getting extra points on it! I was now walking down a dirty path at night on my own because I ran out of paper. My parents were fast asleep so they have no idea I am outside, but they know nothing ever happens to me!!

I screamed when something was now tied around my ankles and now I was upside down and all my bags were scattered. "Oh crap!"

How am I suppose to get down!! I squeezed my eyes shut and tried my best to not puke because I'm terrified of heights and I kept swinging back and forth a bit.

"Hehehe seems like you got yourself into a bit of trouble." Is that?! The creeps voice!!

I opened my eyes and saw Souichi with a doll in hand along with a hammer. What's he doing in the middle of the woods?!

"Thank goodness, Souichi! Get me down!" I pleaded. He'd the only one out here so I gotta play nice.

"Hmm." He hummed and smirked up. "Don't know the view isn't that awful."

My entire face turned red when I realized I was wearing a long skirt and he could see my underwear. I screamed and tried gathering the fabric and hugged it between my legs.

"You pervert get me down right now!!" I threatened.

"Hey!!" We heard a male voice shout through the woods and some lights. Souichi ran as fast as he could leaving me alone.

I looked and noticed an older man, a farmer. "Crap, I thought I caught him. Do you know that boy?!" He asked not happy at all.

"I've never seen him before!"

I noticed the man walk around the tree and cut down the rope I was tied to and helped me down to my feet. "That damn boy is a creep, God know what he would've done if I hadn't arrived."

Probably keep staring at me...

"Thanks so much Mister!" I bow and quickly gathered my belongings and ran to my house. I swear I could feel eyes watching me.

***********

It was the next day and the first thing I did when I met Souichi was give him a big slap on the face, leaving my handprint marked red on his pale skin.

"Don't you ever abandon me when I need help, y-you pervert!" I angrily shouted and all Souichi did was stare back at me surprised I had hit him, but his cheeks turned bright red and it wasn't because of the slap.

All he did was shriek weirdly and look away. I noticed his brothers out in the distance giving his brother a disappointed look.

This project would surely be something else...and it did. Days went by and we had brought in different topics, I talked about the environment and Souichi talked about dark magic.

Nonetheless the teacher nearly ripped his hair off his head and failed us both for not cooperating. They led Souichi to earn another slap on the back of his head.

***********

I yawned and sleepily combed my hair and watched myself in the mirror, even after taking a shower I'm still very sleepy. I couldn't sleep well last night because of some work I had and I kept getting kicked on my side of the bed.

"You're awake! Good morning."

"Good morning to you maybe, you kept waking me up." I complain and look at the tall man who's sitting by the table with a cigarette in hand.

"Did those birds wake you up again? I can always shoot them if you'd like." He says digging a gun out of his coat pocket.

"Where did you even get that?!" I jump at the sight of the silver gun and he aims it outside at a bird who's feeding to it's babies.

"You know I don't like those things and you should quit smoking, I've already warned you about it."

Souichi smirks and blows the smoke into my face making me cough and walk over to open the window even more. "It's a bad habit but what can I do?" He shrugs and opens the newspaper.

"I didn't expect to see you inside relaxing."

"Not a single brat had decided to head into my haunted house."

"What too scary for them? I've seen them screaming and running off, what do you even have in there?"

"A few things." Is all Souichi says and now rests his feet on the table.

Souichi and I got kinda close after we did that awful homework back then at school, the reason he followed me was because he had a crush on me but would always deny it, I was creeped out at first but decided to give the weird kid a chance.

The girls in my class didn't hang out with me as much after that, they kept asking me if I didn't feel uncomfortable around him.

I decided to no longer judge people by their looks.

Now Souichi and I are happily married, we've been married for two years now. Today we're heading to visit his family for lunch.

"Do you think they'll mind if I bring something over? Maybe a salad or sandwiches!" I happily suggest to my husband.

All he does is hums behind the newspaper and stays silent after. "This'll be fun, we barely go and visit your family. Hmm maybe your cousin will be there."

"Don't you dare summon that woman, she made my life hell whenever she'd come on vacations." Oh, yes. Souichi and Michina.

The poor girl used to get a bit frightened by him, all he'd do is blame her whenever some of his curses wouldn't work. He hates if even more because they share their birthday's.

"Well? Let's go." With one hand I grabbed the basket filled with food and with the other I grabbed his hand.

He groaned and tried to pull sway, it didn't work. So he silently held my hand and continued to smoke.

It's getting a bit too cold and it was starting to snow a bit, Souichi seemed to look at lot more pale. He glanced down at me when he caught me staring at him, I blushed and looked away.

"I don't get why you look away, I like to see you blush." He admitted in a low voice. "We've been married for a while now and yet I always see you staring at me."

I smile and swing our hands back and forth. "I'm just not used to you being my husband yet, it still feels new."

I looked back up and caught Souichi smile, s genuine smile and not a creepy one he always gives off.

The house was up ahead and we finally made it, everyone came out to greet us and his brothers kept on teasing him, saying things like "I can't believe our little brother was the first to get married."

It's funny that his brother and sister call him "little brother" when he now towers over them.

His mother now arrived into the room we all gathered and his father brought some tea. "Look how my boy has grown."

"Mother stop it." Souichi tried his best to keep his mother's hand off his face but the poor woman ignored him.

"Come now make yourself at home! Whoa!" Souichi's sister offered me to give her my coat and she did, she was surprised at what I was hiding under it.

"Souichi isn't the only thing that's grown." She says out loud which caused her mother to finally look.

"Surprise whoo let's get this over with." Souichi boredly said taking a seat on the floor and lighting up another cigarette.

I smile when I rested my hand over my growing belly and tried to answer the many questions the females in the family were asking.

"I can't believe you didn't tell us about this you idiot!" Souichi ignored his older brother and continue to smoke while staring at the tv.

"Aren't you happy, Souichi?" His mother was very excited when she asked him.

"Hmm." Souichi replied. He didn't like his family being so "nosy" as he likes to say or cheery. His father walked past him and grabbed the cigarette from his hand and tossed it away.

"It's bad for the baby, son. You should know that by now." He scolded his son. And what did he means he should know it by now?

Souichi's sister grabbed my hand and helped me in the floor and began to make some girl talk while I presented to her the food I decided to bring.

"I can't wait until we meet the little one!" His mother sighed and I could already imagine her spending time with our child.

"Neither can Souichi and I." I smile and rested my head on his shoulder.

Souichi's brother scoffed and I saw him trying to not laugh when he began to sip on his tea. "You should say that about Binzo."

The room fell silent and I felt Souichi tense up. Everyone stared at Souichi's brother who spat his tea when he realized what he said, for some reason. I sat up straight and looked at Souichi who's glaring at his older brother.

"Who's Binzo? Is he another cousin I haven't heard of?" I asked curious since everyone stared at one another.

"I'm screwed aren't I?"

Souichi's mother shook her head at her oldest son's question and his dad tried to hide his face.

"The one who's in trouble will be your husband my dear." His father told me. Souichi stood up in a hurry and began lighting yet another cigarette.

"I'm gonna go visit Grandma!"

He probably went at the field in the backyard where the cemetery is. I stared at everyone confused but all they did was look away and try not to speak of this Binzo guy.

"...Would you like some cookies my dear?" His mother excitedly ran to my side and offered me a few baked ones she just made.

"O-Okay." I took one and began to slowly chew on it, but I kept my eyes on the door where my husband had went. I should probably go and ask his what is wrong.

(don’t rb) UM update so I’m skimming the prequel of this bl and 😐 funny how the narrative forcefully presents senpai as a violent homophobe when he 1. was assaulted by his male prof and 2. had to watch his 18yo brother fall in love with a grown man whom he rightfully didn’t trust… souichi isn’t homophobic he’s a victim AND only wanted to protect his younger brother and this is why bl sucks ass in general 99.9999% of it is so homophobic and predatory on so many levels

#rape tw #homophobia tw #i know better than to get upset over trashy writing but

Where can I find Challengers vol 3 extra? 🤔

There's not exactly an extra for Challengers vol 3. The most there is is an afterword with 4 panel strips of Morinaga giving Souichi presents (a mesh shirt) and trying to get him to hang out with him (watch gay movies).

(Yes I do know I called it an extra in my translation files lol. you can see the translation here)

I would love to hear your thoughts on Koisuru Boukun. You mentioned about writing a followup post in your asexuality/challengers post

I did get several pages into an analysis of Koisuru Boukun, after going through and taking a lot of notes on all the volumes, but I think I got busy with other things, and the thought of putting the project together became so daunting, I sort of forgot about it. Maybe if I have a chance sometime I’ll revisit it and try to finish it, because I did want to dive deeper into the topic. A bit of a trigger warning here.

The very condensed version of my argument is essentially that Souichi is, similar to his little brother, an asexual, and that Morinaga essentially grooms him to become comfortable with a sexual relationship he doesn’t want. Souichi has a strong dependence on Morinaga as a friend, and Morinaga takes advantage of this in many ways to manipulate the relationship to suit him. I think the whole thing becomes immeasurably more complicated though by Souichi’s blatant homophobia and honestly abusive treatment of Morinaga that gets him the “Tyrant” treatment in the title. It doesn’t excuse what Morinaga did, but creates a lot to unpack to understand their relationship.

The series really revolves around this idea that Souichi does love Morinaga, and Morinaga’s bad behavior is just a way to get Souichi to finally admit it. I’ve seen this sort of trope referred to sometimes as “rape to love”, where the instigating event of the relationship is rape, but the victim comes around to loving the perpetrator, so it’s “okay” in the end. It goes without saying that the whole conceit of the story is highly problematic.

My other argument is that, if Souichi is asexual, this story is an example of “corrective rape”, which can be kind of a charged term, but bear with me. The gist is just that Morinaga’s repeated insistence on a sexual relationship with Souichi is meant to “correct” his apparent disinterest in sex, and thus, his asexuality. What’s almost worse is that the narrative is somewhat aware of the reverse of this; Souichi has sometimes insisted that Morinaga was broken or wrong to be gay and needed to be corrected, but his view on this changes over the course of the story, especially when confronted with Morinaga’s homophobic family members. But at no point does anyone in the story have any awareness that, while it’s great that Souichi becomes more open to the homosexuals in his life, no one ever really considers his own feelings on his sexuality.

Now obviously, it’s never stated in the series that Souichi is asexual, so the crux of my argument would rely on presenting evidence that I think he is. But that’s something for another time when I’m not super busy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ossan’s Love Missing Scene (Translation)

This is a scene that takes place between the show and the movie; more specifically, before Haruta goes to Shanghai. This is a canon scene from the official movie scenario book, not a fanwritten thing.

At Tenkuu Real Estate Sales Office. (Part 1)

Haruta enters the office. Haruta: Good morniiiing! Kurosawa comes up to him. Kurosawa: Good morning, Haruta. Haruta: Good morning, Chief! Kurosawa: You’re off to Shanghai next week, aren’t you? Are you all prepared? Haruta: Yep! I already got my things sent there! Kurosawa: If it’s all right, feel free to use these. A pillow for the plane, slippers, portable toilet, an eyemask, and... Haruta: T-That’s enough! Thank you very much! Haruta is holding too many things. Kurosawa: Don’t feel too lonely...Maki will be seeing you off, right? Haruta: Ah...nnh... Kurosawa: What’s wrong? What happened, Haruta? Haruta: It’s not that big of a thing, but...Maki and I had a fight yesterday... Haruta reminisces. Maki and Haruta stand next to eachother on their commute to work. Maki: I told you, you have to bring the laundry in when it starts raining! Haruta: Well it can’t be helped! I fell asleep, okay? Maki: (clicks tongue) ...completely useless. Haruta: Excuse me?! I don’t remember ever saying I wanted to be useful to you! Maki leaves first. Kurosawa: Oh my god. Oh my god!!! Haruta: He definitely won’t even speak to me. How can I make up with him? Kurosawa: Um...in this case, why not talk to his ex-boyfriend? Haruta’s gaze falls upon Takekawa. Haruta: Eh? T...Takekawa-san? At Tenkuu Real Estate Sales Office. (Part 2) Haruta walks up beside Takekawa. Haruta: Takekawa-san... Takekawa: What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to Shanghai in a week? Stand up straighter. Haruta: Maki and I had a fight....what should I do...? Takekawa: (pushes glasses up the bridge of his nose)...a fight? Haruta: Well, I mean, I’m 100% in the wrong though... Takekawa: Hmm...in my time with him, we just solved it with patience like adults but...how about a simple present? Maika walks up. Maika: Why don’t you present him with a song? Haruta: That will just be adding fuel to the fire. Takekawa: Give him a homecooked meal. Haruta: No, you can’t eat the stuff I make! Maika: Buy him some clothes then? Haruta: No way. He says my taste in clothes is fucking lame! Maika: (snaps at him) IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO?! Haruta: ....See, this is exactly why I’m in trouble. Takekawa: Whatever you get him will be fine. What’s important are the feelings behind it. Haruta: ..the feelings? Takekawa: ‘I messed up, I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart. Let’s get along from now on!’. If you say that, it’ll be fine. That’s how it is, with presents. Haruta: Right...it’s about the feelings...that’s right. Takekawa: Are you aware of what you have to do now? Haruta: Yes, I’m aware! I, Haruta Souichi, am gonna go out to buy something!! Haruta nearly flies right out of the sales office. Maika: IT’S STILL WORKING HOURS!!!! At Tenkuu Real Estate Sales Office. (Part 3) It’s lunch break. Maro and Chizu are eating. Haruta walks up holding a bag. Chizu: Yo! Haruta: Why is Chizu here? Chizu: (Wonderful) started doing food delivery. I’m helping out. Haruta: Huh. Maki still hasn’t come back? Maro: Looks like he’ll be back soon though. (To Chizu) They had a fight. Chizu: EH?! Even though you’re leaving in a week? Don’t just apologize. In this case, you have to get on your hands and knees and beg for forgiveness! Haruta: Why have you already decided that I was the one at fault? Chizu: But I’m right, aren’t I? Maro: Is that a present? Haruta: Ah, yeah...I was thinking about how exactly I should give it to him... Chizu: Just suddenly surprise him with it! Surprise! Maro: It’s best to just be straightforward with it. That’s what I did, when I gave Choko a present... Maro reminisces. Maro: Choko, here. He hands her a present. Choko: Eh, what? What’s the occasion? Maro: Today is the day I started loving you. Choko: (smiles) What are you talking about? Haruta: Really, whoaaaa...straightforward, huh? So just leaving it on his desk would be bad? Chizu: Isn’t that obvious? Maki walks in. Maro: Ah! Maki’s here! He’s here! Haruta: Uwaa! What should I do? Chizu: What are you hiding for? Come on! Chizu and Maro push his back. Maki and Haruta’s eyes meet. Haruta: .... At Tenkuu Real Estate Sales Office. (Part 4) Maki is at his desk, starting up his PC. A short distance away is Haruta, fidgeting nervously. Just behind him are Kurosawa, Maro, and Maika. Haruta: (fidgets) He’s still mad, just as I thought... Maro: It’s gonna be fine! Haruta: His typing sure is loud and aggressive.. Maika: He’s a furious chihuahua, isn’t he.... Kurosawa: You caused the fight though, right? Haruta: ...Yes. Kurosawa: You don’t have much time to make up! Go! As he says this, he tightly grips Haruta’s hands. Haruta: W-wait, Chief! Let me go! Chief: A-ahh...sorry. Haruta goes to Maki. Haruta: Ma-Maki... Maki: (doesn’t look at him) What do you want? Haruta: Well...I’m going to Shanghai next week, right? Maki: ..That’s true. Haruta: ...So, here. Maki: .... Maki opens the bag that Haruta gives to him. Inside is a yukata. Maki: ...Yukata? Haruta: The fireworks...I won’t be here for them this year, but let’s go next year after I come back. Maki: ... Haruta: Wait till then, okay? Maki: ...and your apology? Haruta: ...I’m sorry. Maki: (smiles) For you, Haruta-san, this (yukata) is pretty fashionable. Haruta: Really?! Thank goodness!!! Maki: Thank you so much. (stands up) HQ is calling for me, so I’m gonna go. Haruta: (nods) Take care. Maki: (smiles)...Well then, I’m off. Maki leaves. Haruta watches him as he does so with a smile. Haruta: (softly smiles)

#their fireworks date was a planned thing and makis yukata was a present from harutaaaaaa #makiharu #ossan's love #jing translations
