Discussing Negai no Astro - Chapter 4
Tumblr media
Religion - Buddhism/Asura
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Both Kuran and Kou have half of Asura tattooed on their forearms. The Sanmenroppi security branch’s logo and Ikebukuro headquarters are also a resemblance of the demigod.
I did some research, and came across this line of text I find very interesting, regarding Kou, and the inferiority he feels when compared to others.
In the earliest Vedic literature, all supernatural beings are called Devas and Asuras. Each Asura and Deva emerges from the same father, share the same residence, eat together the same food and drinks, and have innate potential, knowledge and special powers in Hindu mythology; the only thing that distinguishes "Asura who become Deva" from "Asura who remain Asura" is intent, action and choices they make in their mythic lives.
"Asuras who remain Asura" share the character of powerful beings obsessed with their craving for wealth, ego, anger, unprincipled nature, force, and violence. Further, in Hindu mythology, when they lose, miss, or don't get what they want (because they were distracted by their cravings) the "Asuras who remain Asuras" question, challenge, and attack the "Asuras who became Devas" to loot a portion of what the Devas have and the Asuras do not.
In Buddhist mythology, the Asuras are said to experience a much more pleasurable life than humans, but they are plagued by envy for the Devas, whom they can see just as animals perceive humans.
Take that text of information as you will. I hope you can understand my point without me having to explain further than this lol.
Does Kuran have a Astro?
Personally, I’m thinking he either does not have an Astro, or he doesn’t want to admit he has one.
Astros are given to people who held onto something precious, and made a wish. Kuran doesn’t really seem like the type of person who makes wishes, or gives into sentimental notions like that.
If he does have an Astro, he’s probably keeping it a secret so he doesn’t have to use it on Kou. When Kou challenged Kuran to fight for branch leader, had he known Kuran also had an Astro, he would surely make him use it so he could win in a ‘fair fight’.
I definitely think Kuran let Kou win for multiple reasons. 1, he doesn’t want to seriously hurt his younger brother, he’s too kind for that. 2, as an older brother, he’s kind of just letting Kou do and have whatever he wants for the time being. More below lol.
Relationship between Kou/Kuran
As a big brother, I think Kuran feels it’s his role to support his younger brothers, not fight with them.
He doesn’t think it’s right to ‘put them in their place’ or anything like that. Instead, he thinks it’s better if he supports them, forgives their misdeeds, and protects them if they get in over their heads. Even when Kou says dehumanizing things, like calling Kuran “my little security robot.”/ treating him like a winnable object; Kuran doesn’t take it personally, since Kou finally has confidence in himself …
I think Kuran might spoil Kou because he knows how insecure Kou is in being the youngest sibling, with nothing to his name.
Kuran understands that Kou is becoming power hungry, but he doesn’t see a harm in it as long as he is still around to pick up after the messes.
Tumblr media
The Lighter that Kou made his wish with. This can be speculated as headcanon now, but I think Kuran gave Kou this lighter, encouraging him not to give up on becoming stronger, even if he feels weak now. It just seems like a good older brother thing that Kuran would say to ease his little brother’s insecurities.
And just as he said, Kou did become stronger. So to encourage Kou into realizing he isn’t the same weakling he was before, Kuran purposefully lost to him. Beating Kou would only crush his confidence and put Kou right back to square one:( as a supportive older brother, Kuran simply can’t do that.
That was pretty much the bulk of what I wanted to say about the most recent chapter; if anyone would like to add anything, go ahead! ^.^

BRAID MY HAIR....PLEASE!
Tumblr media
PLATONIC! younger! yotsurugi siblings x older sister! reader
summary... you're braiding the hair of the longer-haired siblings and it seems hibaru wants his hair braided too!
warnings... fluff, brothers bickering, the siblings are around 7-11 y/o, hibaru and kou fight, name trying to keep peace, name is blood-related to hibaru
Tumblr media
sitting cross-legged on the couch, [name] the oldest of the yotsurugi siblings is braiding the ninth adopted son of the yotsurugi-- taira
taira was sitting down on the floor in front of his older sister and watching a show that was playing two men fighting with katanas
many of his siblings were here, talking amongst themselves or resting by [name] kuran was laying his back against the left side of [name] and kou was sitting beside him on the floor as well
shikaba was laying his head on the arm rest of the couch while laying his feet on [name]'s lap
shio and satsuki were sitting together playing cards and his other brothers went to join them, his other sister was also sitting on the floor with him but was on her phone--seeming to play a game on it
while....hibaru and terasu... were nowhere to be found, hopefully not causing any trouble..
BAM !
he spoke too soon...
"[NAME]! I WANNA- huh? what are you doing?"
hibaru jumped up and leaned over the right side of the couch to peek at what his older sister was doing, terasu doing the same
she looked over at him and smiled "I'm braiding taira's hair"
taira looked over his shoulder and lifted his chin, he was proud of his hair "it's cool, right?"
hibaru nodded "ya! really cool!.. [name]! can you braid my hair too??"
[name] laughed lightly "i don't think you have enough hair for me to braid, hibaru"
hibaru's happy smile faded off his face and he touched his hair, but his smile came back "don't worry! ill grow it out like taira's! then you can braid it!"
before [name] could answer the cheerful brother, kou did
"pft...doubt it.." kou remarked
hibaru whipped his head around with a scowl towards kou "what was that!?"
"i said! you're bald!" kou yelled, "kou..please-" [name] couldn't finish before hibaru grabbed the pillow under shikaba--who groaned-- and plunged it at kou's face "eek!!"
"hibaru!-" [name] got interrupted again by hibaru, he jumped over the backside of the couch right onto the half-asleep shikaba
"ow!! hibaru!"
hibaru couldn't apologize right that second and flew at kou and they both tumbled around the carpeted ground--shouting at each other
"take it back!"
"no! get off!"
"take it baack!!"
"ow! no!"
"[NAME]!!" both kou and hibaru shouted in unison
[name] had to put down the unfinished braid and stood up to lift hibaru off of kou "kou...hibaru, please" name pleaded
both of them looked up at their older sister's disappointed face, before hibaru hid his face into [name]'s neck and mumbled "he...called me bald.."
"you are.." kou murmured
"wha-" [name] placed her hand over hibaru's mouth "ah!.. no more of that"
she felt hibaru's cheeks puff up under her hand but she didn't acknowledge it, "kou, after I'm done braiding taira's hair, it'll be your turn, ok?"
kou shook his head in understanding, [name] then turned around to see kuran waiting patiently to lean his back onto his sister's side again, and taira was waiting for his braid to be finished
she sat cross-legged on the couch again and placed hibaru on her lap
she felt kuran lean on her side again and turned to shikaba "are you okay shika?"
"yeah..are you okay? im sorry for jumping on you.." hibaru apologized to his older brother
"yep, im okay...just got crushed..thats all" he yawned, he placed his feet onto terasu's lap--who was now sitting next to [name], terasu looked up at her and smiled "hello"
you smiled softly "hello" terasu--after smiling back-- rested his head on the side of your shoulder and watched the show that was continuing to play
carefully leaning over little hirabu she took taira's unfinished braid "here hibaru you can help me braid taira's hair, ok?"
"okay!" hibaru cheered
taira smiled softly at his younger brother's happy voice and relaxed into the bottom of the couch, kou also quietly leaned into taira's side
the other siblings seeing the relaxed state everyone else was on the couch, had made their way to them and sat in the open areas around their siblings
everyone happily watching the show together in peace
"I love all of you..so much" hibaru murmured and [name] kissed the top of his head
"we love you too...so much"
Tumblr media

i have some headcanons for negai no astro boys-
Tumblr media
tw: none, reader insert, english is not my native language
↪ asking shikaba why and how he has soo beautiful eyelashes and then he's like "you can't have them, but your kids can";
↪ just playing with taira's hair and talking about new hairstyles that would suit him (btw he uses a haircomb that you gave to him);
↪ kou non-stop gossiping about his brothers during a coffee date to the point where he forgets his coffee. yes, you drink his coffee. and yes, while leaving the coffee shop, he is like "wait, where is my coffee";
↪ wondering why kuran has "kill" tattoo and pointing to him that it should be "make love, not war" and him basically giving you "peace was never an option" stare (or saying then lets make love but then i don't want you to cry);
↪ asking shio about the family company business and shio answering every question with every detail like a gentleman for 3 hours straight, and you being like "in conclusion???"

Alright, let’s talk about Ken Wakui’s newest work
Negai no Astro
Or Astro Royal, whatever you prefer.
Tumblr media
I will be giving no blatant spoilers in this post, only speculations:)
Manga PV here; ITS SO GOOD!!!!
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯✦
Let’s get the obvious out of the way, Ken Wakui has a very distinct art style. And I love it! A lot of people are making fun of it (mostly on Twitter/X), and it’s really sad. I love his style, and character development.
I have high hopes for this manga, and want to paint a picture of what to expect for those who also want to get into it♡
Let’s start Character Designs
—our main-trio—
Tumblr media
We’re only one chapter in so far, so we’ve only met the main two boys, Terasu and Hibaru (left to right).
Terasu Yotsurugi - 12th Son
Loving Terasu’s take-no-shit personality so far. Simultaneously, he seems very kind and loyal to Hibaru’s ideals.
Terasu is giving Ryusei/Chifuyu lovechild.
Hibaru Yotsurugi - only Biological Son
I love Hibaru’s chivalrous/“old-fashion” ideology. He may seem ‘generic shonen protagonist’ right now, but i don’t care. I will appreciate him.
Hibaru is giving Mikey/Takemitchi lovechild.
Tumblr media
As for our blue eyes beauty over here, we have yet to see her yet. She seems very cute though.
She’s also giving lovechild vibes; Senju/Hina specifically…
—The Yotsurugi family—
There are 13 Siblings of the Yotsurugi family, whom has a history of being Yakuza.
12/13 Siblings are adopted.
So far, we only have designs for 11 siblings.
We do not know a lot of names thus far, WHICH I NEED BTW, so let’s go over what we do have, and my first impressions of them.
—Names going Left to Right per image
Tumblr media
Shio Yotsurugi - Eldest Son
He’s giving Timeskip!Taiju vibes. Anyone who says he looks like Ran…. I can’t see it. He’s too beefy- sorry.
I just know I’m not going to like this guy.
Has a lot of the people’s support, but not mine.
Probably thinks he’s going to make the family better when he’s really ruining it:(
Unnamed Glasses Guy - maybe 2nd Son?
Mmmmm no thoughts.
Token megane character—
Probably corrupt.
I hope he proves me wrong.
Tumblr media
Kou Yotsurugi - 11th Son
Middle child vibes
He will be deranged and misguided.
Probably “hates” Hibaru because he’s so much like their father, who I assume he respects, but doesn’t agree with.
He probably secretly admires them both though.
Unnamed Hottie - maybe 9th Son?
MINE. 👹👹👹 RAPID. FERAL. BARKBARKBARK—
Based on vibes alone, I lay claim. Awoogaawooga♡
I NEED NAMES, NOW WAKUI. NOW.
Who is he. Where was he. I must know.
also lowkey giving Angry’s blue-ogre vibes…
Didn’t appear in chapter 1 though so:( </3
Tumblr media
Unnamed ScarGuy - maybe 10th Son?
Eyes always closed, speaks with ♡ at the end of his sentences…
Seems charming. I mean, look at those eyelashes…♡
Wanna give him a kith.
I have a feeling he and Unnamed Hottie are biological brothers… not sure.
Wakui please, sir, just one chance—-
Unnamed BraidGuy - maybe 8th Son?
Mr. I’ll just stay in my lane. Respect.
Realistically, I think he’ll be my first/second favorite eye candy, depending on how these characters personalities/canons end up being explored.
I’m sorry I have a thing for men with long hair!
Cool earrings too lol
Seems neutral to who’s in charge.
Wakui, seriously, I CAN TAKE HIM—!!!
Tumblr media
BENKEI???? - maybe 5th Son?
Has lion-like eyes and sharp canines….big nose
My size kink is acting up—no, please nO—!
Okay but seriously. I’m not sure what to expect from him yet.
He seems honest, but I can see him getting power hungry:(
Handsome Lady - Maybe 3rd Daughter?
Cooler older sister vibes.
Awoogawooga
Please be a lesbian or at least bisexual—
Seems logical and cool. Probably doesn’t coddle innocence.
Tumblr media
Mr.BigNose - Maybe 4th son?
Uh-uh. No thanks. Not bc of his appearance, but bc his character is depicted as insufferable so far.
Probably sexist.
Probably too coward to admit it, but if things with the family bond start turning south, he’s the first one OUT.
Hehe I may have left this screenshot wide to show off the One Panel that shows Mr. Unnamed Hottie *twirls hair*
I mean seriously look at him I’m going to scream without the s
Story Direction and Expectations
I trust Wakui. The way he explores his stories is through character bonds and personal ideals.
This is one of the reasons why I grew so fond of Tokyo Revengers.
Plus… it’s Found-Family Gang activity. It’s my soft spot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I would say Yakuza but I want to be respectful in how I throw that word around, so I’ll avoid it for now if I can.
The supernatural powers that get involved will surely lead to a type of succession war between the siblings.
“What it means to be strong” will probably be the fundamental lesson of the story.
I am so excited to see how Negai no Astro will progress!
Please support Ken Wakui however you can by reading Chapter 1 onwards!♡

Discussing Negai no Astro - Chapter 6
Spoilers for chapter 6 below
Tumblr media
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯✦
Kuran - Who was he before Botan’s Death?
In this chapter, we’re given huge insight on how Botan/Kuran/Kou got along. Their personalities, dreams— their overall dynamic.
Tumblr media
Kou’s hardhead and stubbornness are all the same, yet it’s not out of malicious intent, like it appears to be now.
Kuran appears to be teasing, silly and full of emotion.
Welcome back Smiley/Nahoya lmao.
Also high key, Botan is hot as FUCK—
Tumblr media
After Botan’s death, Kuran fell into autopilot to succeed Botan’s dreams.
The Sanmenroppi were formed by Kuran in Botan’s memory, inspired by his dream of Delinquents protecting the town that raised them.
Kou’s insecurity of being so weak, on top of losing his awesome big brother, really did a number on how he acts now.
He still had Kuran, but he was just a shell of the person he used to be. Perhaps so grief stricken that all he could do was fulfill the dreams that Botan no longer can.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
On top of everything, Kuran even tried fulfilling the role of Kou’s big brother in Botan’s place. A cool older brother who protected his younger sibling.
Botan would always say Kou is just fine the way he is, so Kuran left him be; letting Kou be who he was, even if the bratty attitude was over the top.
Kuran stopped being who he was.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ngl I love the idea of Kuran becoming a sappy weepy drunk lmfaooooo
But it just goes to show, KURAN HAS EMOTIONS, lots of them too. He’s simply neglected them for so long…
I really look forward to seeing him in later chapters, smiling and doing silly impressions.
Tumblr media
Overall I think this was a really good chapter, Wakui really displays his ability to show a realistic reaction to grief and losing a friend…
