summary: fluff scenario #2 (sick day together) & fluff prompt #10 (“i’m..happy when you're here. i'm happy”) from my 2,000 follower event

warnings: none

wc: 919

Looking at the same four walls for hours on end was draining. The plain color palette became an eyesore after a while, and you could swear you would go crazy if it was spent in another moment of silence. Being sick was one of the worst feelings in the world. It didn't help being an Asaemon as well, having to deal with the heckling from the others and Fuchi’s attempts at giving you medicine that tasted like garbage. You were just about to fall asleep, your eyes slowly closing when you heard knocking and the door slid open.

“Y/n!”

It was Toma, of course, it was him. He was the only one who would genuinely check up on you during times like this where the others just went on with their normal lives. But, you knew the reason why. Because Toma wasn't like the rest of them, he was here for ulterior motives to get his brother out of the cell he was being kept in. You figured it out rather quickly, and confronted Toma on this shortly after you did, and agreed to keep it quiet between the two of you.

“Hello, Toma,” You said to him, your voice raspy as you spoke.

Toma smiled over at you, walking to you and taking a seat down besides you on the short futon. He set his sword down next to him, and looked over at you. “How are you doing?”

“Terrible,” You muttered.

“Figures,” Toma nodded. “Are you in need of anything?” He asked.

Shaking your head in response, you rolled over onto your side to see him better. “Why do you even care about me so much?”

He tilted his head to the side, eyeing you with confusion, “What do you mean?”

“You know what I mean,” You said. “You're the only one who's checked up on me other than Sagiri and Fuchi on a few occasions. Why?”

Toma let out a nervous chuckle, his eyes now avoiding yours as he replied, “No reason. I suppose because you're the only normal one here, and you're the kindest one towards me even knowing what I’m really here for,”

“None of us here are normal,” You were tempted to roll your eyes, but didn't in the end.

You had been with the Asaemon’s for a long while now, since you were a child. Toma was completely new to all of the things they did. You knew everyone here in and out. He didn't. He was excellent with a sword, but you all were. That's why you were all here. You never asked about Toma’s life before he came to the Asaemon’s, not wanting to dig deeper into the reasoning as to why he came here in the first place. He never asked about yours, assuming it would be close enough to how all the others showed up here and so he didn't bother trying. It was an unspoken agreement between you two.

Suddenly, Toma pushed his sword aside and moved so he was sitting next to you, him on the ground while you were still on the futon. You looked at him confused before he wrapped his arm around your shoulder, pulling you up slightly so you were sitting up leaning against the wall.

“What are you doing?” You asked in confusion, looking up at him.

“Nothing,” He answered, shaking his head lightly.

You eyed him suspiciously, knowing there was a reason why he was doing this and wanting to figure out what. One thing about Toma was that he was hard to read, well, it was easier for you who found out about his brother rather quickly, but for everyone roselake it was difficult to see what he was really thinking behind that plastered smile. But, that's one thing you liked about him.

“What're you thinking about?” Toma asked you, looking down at you.

“Just wondering,” You replied, giving a subtle shrug in his direction.

“Of?” His voice trailed off as he spoke.

“Well,” You started, leaning your head on his shoulder and resting your eyes closed. “It's odd. You're the one I’m closest to here and you've barely been here for a few months whereas I’ve been with the others since I was little. But, I’m…happy when you're here. I’m happy. I don't completely understand why but-”

Just as you were about to finish, you were cut off from your words by feeling lips pressed against yours. After the initial shock, you realized what was happening and kissed back before Toma pulled away from you.

“I also feel happy when you're here with me, Y/n. I've held back these feelings but I can't anymore. I am in love with you, and I hope you are too,” Toma told you, his eyes looking away from you again as his hair covered his face.

Gently moving his hair from his face, you looked at Toma with a small smile, “Of course, I am in love with you as well, Toma,”

A smile immediately grew on Toma’s face as he glanced back over at you, “Really?”

“Really,” You nodded.

With a grin, Toma hugged you tightly and began to plant kisses all over your face, “Oh this is great! I’m so thrilled! I was worried you would never talk to me again! Ha ha!”

Chuckling while shaking your head, you gazed up at the male, “Now we're both going to be sick,”

“Yeah, but at least I’ll have you!” Toma said with a wide smile.

“Yeah, and I’ll have you too,”

In Every Sense

Shion Yamada Asaemon touching your face and committing every one of your beautiful features to memory while biting his lip at just how soft your skin feels underneath his dexterous fingertips.

His touch lingers on your mouth and like the mischievous little minx you are, you suck on his finger and watch as he parts his lips with a gasp.

"You little devil..." he says with a smirk before leaning in to deliver a hungry, feverish kiss. Tongue sucking and lip biting to feel, just feel every bit of you he can because that's how he sees the world. That's how he sees you. "You are so beautiful," he rasps between kisses, panting and groaning at the taste of you, "in every sense."

[yup-thats-me]

all for you • Gabimaru.

pairing: Gabimaru x wife!reader

synopsis: his wife has given him the best gift of all. a baby ; the reader is pregnant.

warning: pregnancy.

note: I'm delulu I know but I can't help it. let me be delulu in peace 😌

"y/n, let's take you to the village doctor, yeah?" Gabimaru said, stroking the back of his wife lovingly as she threw up.

this was the fourth time this week and it was making Gabi worry about his wife. obviously she's his the only reason to stay alive. it was for her that he made it out alive from Shinsenkyo alive, no matter the dangerous situations he faced. it was all for her. now that she's unwell made his insides churn in fear. if anything happens to her, maybe he'll burn down the entire country.

however, y/n partially knew what the problem was, just a little uncertain.

"Okay...", she spoke slowly, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. she slowly drank the water Gabi gave her. by the help of her husband, she stood up slowly, walking back inside the house to get dressed to visit the doctor.

"do you want me to help you change, y/n?" Gabimaru offered.

it won't be the first time that he'd help his wife get dressed. he had done it a number of times, but this time, y/n turned down his offer.

she smiled at him softly, "I'm quite alright. just be outside ill come in a bit, okay?" She kissed him on the cheek.

Gabi nodded, waiting outside the room, pacing I'm anticipation.

inside the room on the other hand, y/n was already dressed. she stood in front of the mirror, caressing her stomach deliberately. "can it really be true?" She wishpered.

when she came out, Gabi put his hand around her waist, walking slowly. y/n felt weak. every now and then, she held Gabi more tighter as the two walked. finally, the two reached the doctor's place.

"how many days has it been?" the doctor, an elderly woman asked the couple.

the two looked at each other for a second. "this has been going on for more than a week," Gabi replied for y/n.

the woman nodded. "can I talk to y/n alone for a moment?"

Gabimaru shot the woman a suspicious look but nevertheless agreed when y/n squeezed his hand, silently telling him that its alright. again, Gabi stepped out from the room and sat outside.

so many thoughts ran amok his head. what if y/n is terminally ill? or some incurable disease that will take her from him? no. he won't let that happen. even if it was an incurable disease, he'll die with her. no questions asked. and if the disease was curable, he'll do everything in his power to cure back his y/n. he made so many assumptions about y/n's hypothetical diseases, never for once did he think she might be pregnant. he's that thick skinned when it comes to y/n. he forgets to think anything logical when it comes to her.

few minutes later, the two women stepped out the house. Gabi ran to y/n. seeing her smiling made him relax just a bit.

"well? what is it?"

the woman giggled. "I'll leave you two to it. Best of luck", she said going back inside the room leaving the couple alone.

y/n seemed to be avoiding any eye contact with Gabi. "y/n you're making me nervous again. tell me what the problem is!"

"Gabi...you're going to be a father", Y/n replied slowly. she laughed internally as the look on Gabi's face changed from anxious to a confused one. "...huh?"

y/n blushed. "Gabimaru, I am pregnant, woth your child." She spoke nervously. she knew Gabi won't be angry at the news but still she was hesitant.

Gabi stood in his spot not miving even an inch. "Oh my god," He said sitting on the ground. He was too happy to speak. Y/n smiled, kneeling down beside him. "shh...its okay." She hugged her husband as her husband broke down in her hold.

she made Gabi face her, wiping his tears away. "are you okay?"

Gabi smiled at her, hugging her close. "Okay? I'm far more than okay! you've made me the happiest man alive, Y/n!" He laughed, kissing her shortly.

the two also went to the market on their way back,buying sweets and Y/n watched with a smile as her husband gave the sweets tk everyone for the good news. he even fed the stray dogs. he was happy, he wanted the world to celebrate too!

when the two reached home, Y/n was about to enter the kitchen to prepare the dinner, when Gabi stopped her. "And what do you think you're doing?"

Y/n looked at him confused. "We have to have dinner too. you know," She giggled, making Gabi's face tinted with bright red. "Of course I know. but I won't allow you to cook. I'll do it." He said.

"Why, darling? you want to eat something different? tell me and I'll make it. why should you make dinner?"

"No. from now onwards, you can't cook, clean, or do any work. I'll do it all. You and our baby need rest," He said, scratching the back of his head. his statement made y/n giggle. "But anat, I'm just two weeks in. I can still work."

Gabimaru shook his head. "No. I said I'll do all the work. all you have to do is rest. I can't have you working in this condition. I want both my baby and my wife to be healthy," He said caressing your belly. You smiled at him, knowing there's no way of changing his mind now. so you gave up.

as Gabimaru prepared the dinner, so many thoughts came to his mind. family. a family. it was always had been just a word for Gabimaru. he believed he'd never be able to have a family, not a person like him. he was a monster. how can a monster have a family? but then you came along. you healed his scars, made him look at the world differently. it was yiu who taught him that this world is a beautiful place if one knew how to look at it. he is forever greatful to you. he always will be. he prays now, something he'd never ever done. he prays to the Almighty that you'll always stay with him. he promises to love you endlessly, and now that he's soon going to have a baby, he wishes to become the best father that there ever is. he wants to become perfect for you. all for you.

I have to love how you can say by my rapid reblogs which series I'm into rn and which ones are a constant interest ,D

#tzago's ramblings #i totally did (not) binge read jigokuraku in 2 days and 1 night #and was a little sad to learn that my friend did not like it very much #but it's okay since I can entertain myself with headcanons and imagining different scenes huhu

[lesbianyaomo]

jigokuraku spoilers

the mirror between gabimaru and rien really doesn't become apparent until near the end of the series but when it hits you...

both of these characters are driven by the same core motivation—to be reunited with their loved one. rien trying to bring jofuku back from the dead, gabimaru fighting to come back from a kind of social death (through criminalization) to return to yui (the island can even be read as a kind of purgatory that he must traverse to return to the world of the living). love is something that transforms them both—gabi from a hollow vessel to a person with something to protect; in contrast, rien in losing her love, but still trying to revive it, shuts off everyone around her.

to be sure, they're both willing to go to extreme lengths to achieve their goal. on many occasions gabi reverts to his "hollow" way of being, willing to kill others and even to sacrifice himself to survive/win. it's easy to see how his sympathies could, for a moment, align with rien, who is an amplification of that ruthlessness to the magnitude of millions of people. what keeps him from going down rien's path are the connections he comes to accept (as opposed rien's pushing away and grinding down)—yui, of course, and importantly sagiri, the set of individuals who are willing to see his humanity and put their faith in him and his ability to change.

i see a lot of these little echoes across the different pairings that come into conflict over the course of the story.

mudan, who modified humans to be their playthings but thanked the group for freeing them of their thousand-year purgatory; senta, who was always discomfited by what the yamada-asaemon did with human life and found a sense of relief in death, freed to imagine and desire whatever he wanted, both of them unbound from obligation.

jufa and taofa facing off against the aza brothers in a pair, lovers against siblings, halves of a whole, with one half taking upon themselves to relentlessly protect the more vulnerable half, regardless of how much they have to take from other people or sacrifice themselves for the other's safety.

gantetsusai imagining that taofa (and the rest of the tensen) must be like him, someone who desires the thrill of battle, only to have her shoot him down ("it's not fun at all")—and boy, does he come around to her point of view in the end.

much of zhujin's driving force being to please their family, haunted by their own sense of inadequacy; their efforts to please everyone ironically bringing zhujin into confrontation with shion and nurugai, who both feel they failed their respective families, by failing to protect one of them (tenza) or for bringing genocide to her home.

even shijia, gabimaru, and sagiri's fight (with zhujin in the background) contends with these themes of rejection/acceptance; after all, shijia was raised in the same way gabimaru was (which is also similar to the way rien's children were raised). as demonstrated during the battle though, shijia was fighting alone.

guifa, sagiri, and mei's conversation is also important to me. of course, these three are the point of connection, the first spark of the idea that both parties don't have to keep taking from one another. i also see these characters as having to do with truth, either knowing and revealing it (as guifa or mei) or uncovering it (as sagiri—not only as to the mysteries of the island but her efforts to uncover what lies in people's hearts/"the sword reflects the truth"). it's fitting that guifa and mei get featured in the epilogue, which came from sagiri's pov before the time jump.

shugen, gabimaru, and rien are interesting as well. circling back to the initial point—is the fact that shugen did not have a "love" the reason he could deal the final blow? is he the "wicked" who won them the battle?

in the end, it's gabimaru's hesitation that saves everyone. he identified himself in rien and she did the same. she also hesitates to kill him, and instead asks the question that saves them. it's such a lovely conclusion. the thing that deters mutual destruction is identifying yourself in the enemy. people don't have to choose cruelty and mutual destruction with their last breath. not being able to swing the sword can be the thing that saves us.

Spoiler Alert for anime-only.

Seeing that Jigokuraku's fans has started to catch up to the manga till chapter 44, where gabimaru got amnesia & not remembering his wife,

I just decided I want to share my angst thoughts when i first read that part too; imagining if Yui really wasn't real - which actually I find it really hard to believe this sudden change since that plot twist seems quite quick for me, it didn't really give me the impact but it's enough to give other readers doubt, just because of how 'Yui-only-appear-in-flashbacks'-mindsets. I myself can't believe there's still some manga/anime that still has a happy ending, so yeah, this really proved that we all are prepared for the worst, since anime/manga always kills off our fav characters...

And yeah. I was thinking about the possibility of how heartbreaking Gabimaru would feel - and since the arborification actually makes me relate to Hanahaki a little too much,

I couldn't find any fanarts of this idea, so I thought I would sketch it myself, it's not like im an artist, I draw only to satisfy my imagination & this is the best I can do it guys, sorry. (IDK which one looks better. I'm bad at photography)

Btw, I listen to Stitches by Shawn Mendes while sketching this. I cried when the part 'now I'm without your kisses, I'll be needing Stitches' - like, gosh, he wounded so many times, meanwhile, we, readers/viewers knowing that these two has only 1 scene of simple kiss in their flashback, actually make me tear up for no reason, (we all need more sweet gabiyui scenes 😭🤚🏼)

Like - I didn't listen to this song imagining Yui's leaving him. It's more like [what if kaku yuji actually made 'Yuzuriha/Shija was right' plot?] - it would be much worse than killing any character.

Btw, that one part from the song; 'just like a moth drawn to a flame' reminds me a lot of episode 1's scene where 2 moths flying around the candle while Gabimaru in prison scene where he told Sagiri that he got betrayed while in the mission, leading himself to be captured.

Hello!! I really love your works!

If its okay with you, can I please request Hell's Paradise?

Can I please request Sagiri, and Yuzuriha, with an extremely sweet, kind, romantic, and affectionate s/o?

i love these girls so much. thank you so much for requesting 🫶🫶

— NEON

jigokuraku women (sagiri & yuzuriha) x gn!reader

summary: how the jigokuraku women would be dating an extremely affectionate, romantic s/o

warnings: language

Yamada Asaemon Sagiri

is honestly a little bit confused when it comes to anything affectionate or along the lines of that, also since she hasn't been with anyone before it would take some time for her to adjust

but when she does adjust to your sweet affectionate ways, it's extremely easy to get her flustered

will fall for any pickup line you give her, seriously, even if they are beyond cheesy she cherishes and remembers each one

totally random but she will fight anyone who tries to start shit with you like no one is hurting you emotionally, physically, or in any way with her around

it would probably also take her some time to get used to physical affection, seeing as she never really received any growing up, she is a little hesitant at first but quickly will open up after like the third hug

she might cry if you did anything extremely out of the normal romantic for her, it doesn't matter what she will cry because no one has ever done anything for her in that kind of way

she is a sucker for cuddling, the minute she is alone with you her arms will immediately wrap around you, and want to cuddle

Yuzuriha

loves loves LOVES it, she will literally be so incredibly happy that you're affectionate with her

she's usually the affectionate one when it comes to everyone else so she would be ecstatic to have someone be that way toward her but at the same time doesn't know how to react to it since she's never on the receiving end

yuzuriha adores physical affection and she will never complain about it if it's in public she loves it more knowing you're not afraid to show everyone that you love her and that no one else can have her

she's not one for pickup lines, but every once in a while one will get her and she gets flustered at it, it's a rare occurrence though

yuzuriha is the type to constantly ask for kisses, she's "injured"? she needs a kiss, she's bored? she wants a kiss, and if you give them to her she will be very happy about it

she's used to people pining for her, but to actually be in love with someone is enough for her to get more flustered and speechless by the kind and romantic words you say to her, she'll go red in the face and mutter out responses

yuzuriha also adores cuddling, anytime anywhere it doesn't matter to her at all, she loves cuddling

[majycka]

Sharing this lovely article about Kaku-sensei where he basically talks about his influences(lots of horror and mangakas such as Kentaro Miura, Junji Ito, and even CSM's Fujimoto-sensei! he seems friends with him too). He also talks about how he made the characters of Sagirin and Gabimaru where he intentionally wanted them to be unique(me: yes sensei! I whole heatedly agree that you delivered in this one :')). There's also more on the creative process of the series!

This whole interview is definitely a treat to fans/stans of Hell's Paradise. Please give it a read! u.u

(for self-indulgent reasons, under the cut is my fave quotes from the interview!)

Kaku: (About the art mediums he used) I used a combination of Copic markers and acrylic paint for volumes one through five of Hell's Paradise. Before that, I used only Copics. When working analog, you get to enjoy periodically changing what materials you use. Since Jigokuraku Kaitai Shinsho (fan book published in 2021), I've used a combination of Copics and acrylic. I'll use different paper when working with watercolors and even change up my materials if it's fun. Fun is more important to me than efficiency when it comes to materials.

Kaku: (about his OG draft on the series) I don't often start with the setting. For this work, I started with "several pairs of people whose interests aren't aligned are thrown into an enclosed space and forced to work together." That's the framework. In the very beginning, the story was about children sent to a youth detention center and the lawyers fighting for them. From there, through discussions with my editor, we dropped that setting but kept the framework and applied different characters to it. We kept the framework because I've always liked the way human relationships change and wanted to write a story about it.

Kaku: (About our duo Sagirin and Gabimaru!) This is something I imagined from the start of publication. Both Gabimaru and Sagiri have the same values as someone living in the 2020s. This is also the reason the story is set in the distant past during the late Edo period. The people of that time had totally different ideas about ethics and human rights. Despite condemned criminals and executioners being difficult characters to empathize with, if they share our perspective, then we feel close to them, and they stand out as unique characters in an Edo Period setting. From the very start, I felt that made Gabimaru and Sagiri unique.

Kaku: Yes! "The characters take on a life of their own." When I was a newbie, whenever that phrase came up in interviews with manga artists, I thought, "That can't be possible! After all, you made those characters!" (Laughs) But now I think that really is what happens. In fact, it's more interesting when it does.

Ok I’m gonna say it:

After watching them in Jigokuraku, I really wish Ryohei & OnoKen would have done a BLCD together 👀 👀 👀

I think that’s the hottest voice I’ve ever heard from Ryohei. I love the gruffness. 

And yes, all those ‘nii-san’s from OnoKen are getting to me 😶 

(Do 1+1 and you’ll get the kind of plot I want LOL)

But sadly, both of them have never done and will never do BLCDs. Welp, all I have is my imagination I guess...

breaking denials, taking steps (jigokuraku)

pairing: gabimaru x yui

themes: mentions of sex (bcos more non-explicit nsfw in future chaps) with fluff

a/n: I will publish the full fic on ao3 tho but might as well publish the tidbits here on tumblr (expect sequels and stuff)

part 2 || part 3 || part 4

Hearts don't break that easily.

It was a phrase Yui has repeated in her head multiple times, reminding her of her dream to live a normal life. After all, she was more than just a vessel for children. She is a woman, a wife, and she's capable of many things beyond that. However, there are times when her devotion has been tested and she will find herself questioning her next move.

And today was no exception.

Earlier, her father inquired about her marriage life with Gabimaru, which made her wary at some point. As she went on and on about living their life and doing her duties as his wife, Osa asked her about the topic she seemingly wanted to avoid.

Children.

Now, don't get her wrong. Yui is aware that one way or another, she will bear a child from Gabimaru, and this child (as much as she wanted a different future for them) will either go next in line to their father or become like her one day.

And to make matters worse, he pressured Yui to bear a child as soon as possible, making her clutch her stomach, imagining a life force in it.

Gabimaru will not agree.

Of course, it was a given. Her husband, as much of a killer he is, will never impregnate her. It wasn't like they never did the act. They did it on the first night, and it wasn't something they liked. It was more of a command and if they were to turn back time, maybe they could have done things differently.

Yui instantly blushed at the thought, stopping momentarily from chopping the vegetables for their stew. Just imagining Gabimaru and her kissing senseless as their fingers drag on each other's skin is enough to make her lose focus.

"I'm home," a masculine voice greeted from behind her.

Yui almost jumped at that, composing herself before turning around to greet her husband. And thankfully, he wasn't stained with any blood. She might not be scared but it still rises some emotions she didn't know she had.

"You're back early today, dear."

Gabimaru blinked at that. "... I told you I don't have any late missions today."

"A-Ah! Must've slipped my mind."

And then she went back to cooking.

That was a close call.

But Gabimaru wasn't an idiot. He may have not spent a lifetime with Yui, but he knows if there's something bugging her. Like for instance, every time they eat, she would describe the taste of the food and hold up signs on whether they are sweet, salty, savory, or unpleasant in general.

But not today, though. All Yui has done is nibble on her meal, brows furrowed in deep thought as she continued to sigh in between bites. And it was odd, considering how Yui is a calm and collected person, someone who can solve any problem despite the struggle.

Gabimaru put down his bowl and chopsticks. "Did something happen while I was gone?" he asked, staring at her warily to see any faint of suspicion.

Yui shook her head furiously, red staining her cheeks as she waved off her worries. "N-Nothing happened, dear." Oh, no. He'll find out. "L-Let's just eat, okay?"

But Gabimaru won't be having any of her pathetic excuses, scooting closer until he is almost face to face with her.

"Did someone come here to threaten your life?" he asked, aura murderous as he glares at the mere idea of some random stranger trying to harm his precious Yui.

I will kill them all if they touch even a single strand of her hair.

Yui was touched by his hidden gesture, but was also flustered at the idea of him killing. "N-No! No one did!" she assured him. "I just... had a talk with Father. That's all."

"Why?"

Yui was hesitant. Her father's proposal was supreme, nonetheless. After all, as long as they're under his reign, there won't be a chance for their freedom. Worse, they'll end up like Gabimaru's parents who clung to their sentiments and wishes of a normal life.

"Father..." she wasn't ready for this conversation, "he inquired about... children."

Gabimaru was only calm, his eyes narrowing in frustration. He knew Osa had been keen on wanting the couple to have kids that will someday become shinobi. Of course, his and Yui's decision about the matter will never waver.

Unless he made a threat.

"Did he say something else?"

Yui shook her head, setting aside her own thoughts about the matter. "I handled it properly, so there's no need for you to worry."

And so Yui ate again, making a facade so her husband wouldn't think about it too much. However, Gabimaru only stared at her. Hard. Like he was analyzing every moment.

"... E-Er... dear?" She was uncomfortable under his gaze. "Aren't you going to eat?"

He shrugged, sighing, "I don't know. It's like there's something you want to tell me."

Yui flinched in surprise, failing to hide her blush, making Gabimaru's eyes widen at that.

"A-Am I that easy to read?"

"Dunno."

She was fidgeting, trying to think of things to stall him or bury the subject under the covers. However, there's a part of her that secretly wanted this topic out in the open and get done.

"I... I was thinking that... maybe we should try?"

"Hm?" Now his interest was piqued. "Try what?"

"Y-You know..." She didn't want to say it, so she was hoping he would get the hint. "The thing we did on the first night."

It took Gabimaru a few seconds before realizing what she meant, eyes widening and his cheeks blushing as he imagined Yui and him skin to skin with arms wrapped around each other in heat. And because of his reaction, Yui blushed even further, stammering a few incoherent words as she feels the steam go up in her entire body.

"I-It's not like we'll do that r-right now!" she exclaimed, her heart unprepared for the matter. "I... I just wanted to try... but slowly. Slowly until we get there."

"O-Oh." That made him sigh in relief. "Okay."

It was a rough, heart-racing night as Gabimaru lies on his side of bed even though he can't sleep most of the time. Yui was still washing herself and judging by how long she was spending her time in the bath, he guessed she must've used some of her sister's luxury bathing products. And the mere thought of her smelling like flowers all night long was enough to pique his curiosity.

The doors have slid open, her footsteps gentle and yet with a bit of haste until she sat on her side of bed. "Umm... do you want me to move first?" she asked.

Gabimaru nodded, his back on her as he felt her fingers tracing patterns on his skin and ever so slowly, Yui slid her hand inside his kimono, feeling the bare skin on his chest, which was enough for his breath to hitch in pleasure. If it was a random kunoichi, they wouldn't get past his wrath. But not her. Yui was different.

And before she could go further, he sat up, facing her with an embarrassed yet determined look that says, "C-Can I try?"

Yui was startled at that, but nonetheless, she nodded and let him do what he wanted to do. To be honest, Gabimaru had no slightest idea on where to start or what the best route for this situation is. After all, he was a shinobi, not a normal man who's about to hold a woman in his arms under the moonlight.

He held her hand, inching closer until his forehead was leaning towards hers, eyes observing how she couldn't keep her gaze on him. And when he looked down on her lips, perfectly fine and yet slightly chapped, he swallowed nervously.

I want a taste.

And this was ironic, considering how he couldn't even distinguish something edible from something hideous. In one swift move, his lips touched hers, like feathers on skin. But it wasn't enough, so he did it again. And again. And again. Again and again and again and again and aga—

Yui pulled away, touching her lips to savor the moment. "D-Dear?"

"I'm sorry." He looked away in embarrassment. "I didn't know it was too much."

"E-Eh? But... it wasn't though."

He felt relieved at that. "R-Really?"

Yui nodded. "I... I liked it."

"... Okay."

There was an awkward silence, which Yui decided to break by tugging on his clothes and patting his side of the bed.

"It's already late. And I think we have done enough for the evening."

"... Oh." He didn't hide his disappointment at that, though. He thought Yui would still want to continue.

"Let's call it a day and see what we can do next time."

"Hey, have you seen my book?" a kunoichi asked, braiding her hair in a way that will accentuate her facial features.

The other kunoichi looked up from her mirror, almost done with her makeup. "Eh? What book?"

"Ya know, the one about pleasuring people and stuff."

"Nah, ain't seen that one."

From afar, Gabimaru sat on a tree branch as he held a book with a title "The Art of Attaining Pleasure and Reaching Heaven," skimming through each page to see what he could find for his wife. Seduction wasn't his forte, so might as well learn a thing or two from people who know it best.

And then he found an interesting section, something that he could use later.

Yui, I wonder what you will think of this one.

Best of Anime 2023 (in one sentence max)

Brought to you by the anti-waffling coalition.

Top 5 Anime of the Year:

5. Edomae Elf

Already surpassed by Frieren, but tends to hits the same strong themes on a much smaller scale.

4. Heavenly Delusion

Wildly imaginative and out of pocket, for mostly better or occasionally worse.

3. Mou Ippon

Minimalist and unpretentious blend of sports and slice of life that simply hits a vibe really well, and by that I mean sweaty yuri battle hugs.

2. Bang Dream MyGO

Somewhat generic in broad concept, but knocks it out of the park with uncommonly good character writing around uncommonly flawed personalities.

1. Insomniacs After School

Seishun to the maximum and cheesy romance at its best, this one clinched it mainly due to throwing a supremely satisfying ending into the mix.

Fell Off & Ratio Medal for Best Show That Should Be On This List But Isn't: Witch From Mercury

G-Witch still is nowhere near bad or even mid, but distance from the hype has only made its structural flaws more apparent, to the point where I now think that many shows were better than it.

Big Banana Trophy for Best Character: Soyo Nagasaki (MyGO)

I cannot believe a gacha franchise allowed someone this duplicitous, petty, desperate and pathetic in its main cast, proceeded to not brush it off as comedy, and yet still managed to make her come across as sympathetic.

"Still not watching Jujutsu Kaisen" Award for Best Production Value: Heavenly Delusion

The whole thing is like a demo reel for showing off that you can produce any genre at its highest level.

Best Musical Component: Work (Jigokuraku OP)

Kien Romance (Edomae Elf OP) is the slightly better song, but this one is great too and has much better visuals.

Worst Most Amount of Cumulative Annoyance: Umamusume S3

Merely a subpar advert on the surface, but as sturdy as wet tissue paper when even mildly prodded.

Hey! I hope you're having a good day

I wanted to ask about jigokuraku. Do you think it's okay for a 13 yo to watch? I'm asking for my brother. After watching the first 2 episodes I think he'd like the story but I'm concerned if the gore is going to be too much or very graphic in the future or any other inappropriate themes?

Hi!! 🌸I'll gladly explain! At the end you have some examples of bloody and sexual scenes that will appear (probably). Don't worry, I've cropped the screenshots so neither the context of what is happening nor the characters can be seen!

First of all, if I'm not mistaken, Mappa hasn't mentioned anything about the gore. We don't know if everything will be adapted or if several things from the manga will be censored. So far the fandom has applauded that they kept the gore in the second chapter.

There are more things like that scene in the manga. Specially bloody things and even body horror, which could be pretty disgusting. There will also be a few sexual innuendos soon (probably in the next chapter of the anime). These talks about seduction! I don't know if they will add the partial nude shown in the manga in that part. It's just a few seconds, nothing quite important.

There will be quite a violent and bloody fight in the near future. In fact, it's one of the ones that most marks the story and the course of certain characters. The whole scene is quite cruel. There are also explicit cannibalism scenes.

In case you're interested: there's also nudity, mainly boobs, some semi-sexual scenes, and a sexual scene. The semi sexual scenes will be adapted, or at least one of them, since it's partially seen in the trailer, however I doubt it will reach the sexual scene later on bc it's pretty advanced in the manga.

Nudity, on the other hand (and this is something I love) is not always strictly sexual. It's part of the fights and there's nothing sexual about it! It feels pretty intimidating actually.

I'll say there's a lot of murder and a lot of body horror. Jigokuraku is a dark manga and deals with topics that might be complex for a 13-year-old, such as colonialism/conquest, racism, loyalty and morals, and ofc a lot of views about criminals and ethics. At some point it shows some weird pseudo incest.

Also, when I talk about gore I mean severed heads and limbs, corpses, vomiting blood, and any kind of gory body modification you can imagine, especially involving plants.

But I guess it all depends on his maturity! And also what Mappa is willing to show, of course. At the moment they have shown that they don't mind showing gore.

I think I'm not forgetting anything!

#I hope you enjoy it <3 #—asks🌸 #jigokuraku #@meyers #hells paradise
