I agree with that post about jin "apologists". hell, most jin stans i interacted with in the tekken fandom are not even trying to write essay in comments defending the tekken 6 bullshit they know it's bad, and they also want it straight up retconned like how tekken 7 retconned heihachi's actions. honestly namco just retcon it already and say jin was brainwashed by azazel. also jin kazama and the mishimas looks like a saint compared to other characters in fiction that ppl online simp for and defend like Tokkuriji Muchisute and Kanabun from Midori Shōjo Tsubaki (those two creepy bastards are sadly kinda popular on tumblr and I remember them being very popular on tiktok). Griffith from Berserk too, with the whole "Griffith did nothing wrong" meme.

I mean, there are extreme fans who will take every chance to dickride a character so hard that people will start to dislike or even hate them, and Jin is one of those cases (although can also be argued with Kazuya, Lee, the Mishimas and other Tekken characters in general). However, I personally have not seen many Jin Kazama fans who are like that. In fact, many of them are cool lads who want to hang out with other fans and who truly despise Jin's portrayal in Tekken 6, and I think I'm right when I say that almost everyone else in the fandom, whether they're a Jin fan or not, agrees that Jin's character assassination in part 6 of the franchise was absolutely disgusting and never should've happened.

We can only wish for a retcon to be done now, but who knows - perhaps the series will be rebooted in the future and Jin might get a proper treatment like he used to get in pre T6 era.

And about that last part - I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately, I have seen both Shōjo Tsubaki and Berserk, so naturally I witnessed the disgusting acts of all those characters you mentioned and it could be very well argued that they're all worse than the Mishima family in certain aspects. But again, people will be people and they will defend their favourite thing/character/ship/etc. to death, so nothing to add there. Cheers.

I need psychological help right now, how am I supposed to sleep?

There aren’t even tags and I can’t make this up, I just hit rock bottom of the Internet reading a one shot manga…

Help yourselves so I’m not alone but doubtful anyone will be able to go to bed or have an even semi-normal day after reading it: “On a nice spring day” by なまえれんらく

I just wanted material to write from a female yandere’s perspective… why am I so emotionally stripped rn? That manga should not be labeled as “smut” cuz it is literally so much worse. What do you even tag that nightmare to warn people? The art was so beautiful I tricked myself and read it, and now I gotta go throw up cuz I wasn’t ready for that kinda yandere…

I will lay down and go ahead and say I’ve found the line I will never cross.

Triggers/Spoilers for this manga… shit all of them? Likes it’s bad bad, they both are insinuated to die in the end… I have to spoil it to even warn properly. I wish it would’ve said major character death.

I had real flashbacks to when I watched Midori, or Chika Gentō Gekiga: Shōjo Tsubaki. It’s that kinda twisted.

… art is pretty…?

Anyway. Goodnight for now. Will prolly rewatch, idk, Inu x Boku SS to clear my senses. Just fucked me up in the wrong way I swear-

#cursed one shot manga #I’m not hardcore as a yandere writer I guess #Japanese always win in horror #I was never gonna be able to compete #I’m gonna cry for a couple days now

Midori: Shōjo Tsubaki (1992)

Plot

Midori is a young girl with a shitty life. Her mother dies and she is forced to join a freakshow circus with performers who relentlessly abuse her. When a new member -a magician- joins the circus things seem to get better for her as the two fall in love.

Opinion

This has a lot of shocking imagery for the sake of shocking which i’m not the biggest fan of, but i do like eroguro and i’m always a sucker for freakshow circus movies so obviously i had to watch this. It’s really not very good and most notable about it is probably that this short animated movie was practically made by a single guy. That is impressive! But if you are interested in this sort of story i would recommend the graphic novel over the animated movie, it makes a bit more sense and is more coherent. I did also try to watch the life action adaptation but i found it incredibly bad and unwatchable.

Overall this is not a must see thing and i would only recommend it to genre fans.

''Midori, The Girl of Camellias'' (Shōjo Tsubaki)

**WARNING, this post includes sensitive content**

The Ero-Guro is a movement originated in Japan after the world war, which was born as a protest to the "taboo" themes of that country at that time. If we analyze this word, "ero" refers to eroticism and "guro" to the grotesque. In these artistic manifestations, the use of blood is found, different types of paraphilias or fetishes and often treats elements such as disfigurement, mutilation, urine, enemas or feces and its most violent aspect includes amputations, rapes, dismemberments or simply dead.

One of the most recognized manga writers with these topics is Suehiro Maruo and one of his most famous works is the manga "Shôjo tsubaki: Chika Gentô gekiga" or better known as "Midori, The Girl of Camellias", of which we are going to refer in this review.

Midori, The Girl of Camellias, was written by Suehiro Maruo in 1984, this manga is made up of a single volume (but used in compilations of self-conclusive stories). This story was developed in its animated form, directed and produced by Hiroshi Harada in 1992.

In the animation, the story begins by contextualizing the viewer, with a prologue that tells a little story about the situation in which Midori lived (which is the main character), since at that moment she is selling flowers (Camellias), in a hostile and dark terrain, in which a person arrives who is sympathetic to her situation, specifically the story of her father's absence and her mother's illness. This character offers help in a way that makes you feel insecure and suspicious about his real intentions. It can be inferred, due to the context of Midori, that there is a need of the father figure upon naturally surrender to this unknown person.

The moment Midori arrives at her house, she meets her mother's corpse, being devoured by rats. Midori's heartbreaking screams convey the anguish and despair of being orphan.

This prologue is accompanied with music that setting you up for the main character's feelings of loneliness and anguish, along with poems that are difficult to infer and dislodge the viewer.

After the prologue, the development of the main story begins, in which Midori finds herself accepting the help offered by the unknown person, since having been orphaned she no longer had a place to go. Upon reaching the place where this person is, she meets a traveling eccentric circus, encompassed by a group of people with distinctive features, such as mutilations, deformations, among others. These people psychologically, physically and sexually harass and abuse her during her stay in the circus until a magician arrives, who becomes obsessed with Midori and she begins to fall in love with him. It is worth noting the great difference in ages between Midori and the magician, since it can be seen that he is older and in this way again in can be inferred that she visualizes a father and protective figure in him.

During the magician's stay, changes began to be observed in the circus environment. It can be seen that before the magician's arrival, the circus was not in a good economic situation, and thanks to his arrival, an increase in the public begins to be observed due to a show never seen before, but not only the economic situation changes, if not also the behavior of people in the circus, who begin to feel jealous of this character. The circus people begin to take action against Midori and the magician has an overprotective attitude in her.

The development of the animation becomes a bit confusing, as there is no certainty as to whether it's an illusion or if it really happened. It can be seen in the animation, specifically in a scene where Midori's proportions are exaggeratedly increased to the point of crushing the circus team and thus freeing themselves from the abuse to which they subjected her.

Also during the development of the animation, it can be seen that the magician begins to reveal cellopathic attitudes with Midori, to the point of murdering a character and sabotaging a possible actress career that they offer her.

The death of the character turns out to be confusing, because in the images it's apparently an illusion (dying trapped in quicksand) but in later images it's evident that he's killed by the magician, since they find the corpse and also Midori witnessed of the murder, showing an attitude of rejection and fright at the situation.

Scenes later, the magician continues to demonstrate possessive and cellopathic attitudes to the point of struggling Midori and thus causing disappointment in the ideal of man that she had over him.

Little by little, the magician was losing control of his emotions, punishing Midori. In one presentation, he gets out of control and generates a revolt, in which he destroys the place and murders the entire public. Among these scenes you can see historical images of Japanese culture such as the rising sun of the Kamikaze flag, also large waves are shown where it can be inferred that it refers to the illustration of "The Great Wave of Kanagawa" by the artist Katsushika Hokusai, where the phenomenon of a giant wave is shown, which is formed when different waves come together to generate a higher and more devastating one. In addition, references of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb can be visualized, such as deformities in people, which at the same time are exploding and simultaneously there is a specific reference of an arc that turns out to be taken from an iconic photograph of those events.

Then having caused all that disaster,the magician is pretending to be weak and unconscious on a stretcher, surrounded by some circus characters including Midori, the owner, among others. It can be inferred from the above that the magician is victimizing himself after having caused the events described above.

In the following scene Midori finds herself contemplating the full moon, the magician appears and apologizes for what he had caused, again demonstrating his obsession with her, then requesting her to stay with him, so, normalizing the situation, Midori returns with him and exclaimed that she wants to go home.

In the box below, the magician can be seen subjecting Midori to hypnosis. Subsequently, a sequence begins in which the magician immediately transports her to a kind of portal, where Midori can be seen running with images of ancient aesthetics in the background, alluding to the past in which she lived, in which her wish is fulfilled to come home.

Upon arriving home, her parents were sitting, it should be noted that, in illusion, the father is characterized with a military cut. In one of the images, it can see a frame of a military man on the wall, so it's possible to infer that Midori's father was a military man and was no longer present, because he lived the war, that took place in that context . In a later scene, in which Midori finds herself on the magician's breast awakening from illusion, an illustration of a ship setting sail can be seen, with flags of the rising sun and white handkerchiefs in the background, which alludes to when the military went to war , with this again infer that her father died in that event.

As the story is ending, it's shown that the boss leaves the circus, all the members begin to take their bearings and Midori leaves with the magician. In the following scene, there is an illustration in which both are under the fall of the cherry petals, this symbolizes the transience or the ephemeral nature of life. Later the magician goes to buy food and when he goes back, he witnesses a homicide, the assassin realizes that he was looking and stabs him causing his death.

Personal appreciation and Conclusions

In my personal position, it seemed to me a quite interesting work to analyze, since it covers several taboo subjects, which we aren't used to speaking, observing or studying, which allows us to visualize different "rare" aspects, which are part of the reality, since these topics covered by the Ero-Guro, can be very puzzling and shocking for the common people.

Regarding the characters, I find the evolution in their personality and attitude very interesting, as for example, with the arrival of Midori, the circus behaved very disrespectfully with her in many ways, however, when she goes to leave, they said goodbye in affectionate.This made me feel a bit confused, since I wasn't sure that they were under the effect of any illusion, since they were acting very strangely or perhaps they simply wanted to symbolize the liberation (for having finished the circus) of those characters in each of their particularities.

Regarding the historical context that is reflected in the work, I think it's fantastic that Maruo has put a lot of references during the development of it, since that allows us to relate the absence of the father with the military and the war. Also, the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb context is related to the emergence of the explosions and deformations in people, which seems really impressive to me, as the writer transmitted the crude thing that happened during these historical events in Japan, being that for that time, it was very shocking to visualize these things.

In summary, it can be concluded that throughout the work, Midori always looked for a father figure, since his father wasn't present and this is because he died in the Second World War.

It can also be concluded that the magician is a great reference of what a macho man was of those times, with attitudes such as psychological manipulation, jealousy, authoritarianism, possessionism, among others.

As a general conclusion, it can be seen that this work is the live representation of the themes on which the current of the Ero-Guro is based, since practically all these elements can be appreciated visually.
