showing one of the wildest panels w/ foreshadowing i remembered while looking through the manga for one of my long posts
this happens during Medusa's fight with Justin (and then Tezca comes in) and this is right after Justin's like "oh, Tzeca, is that you?" and Tezca spouts this line about how a person's death is up to them and that he's just reflecting their lives up until now.
and Medusa just . . . SEES Crona when talking about how a person's death is a product of what they've done??? and all she says is, "Damn . . ."
like maybe i'm getting way too into it, but it is crazy to me that Medusa seemingly sees that because of her treatment of Crona she is going to die by them, and is just kinda like "fuck it, gotta go all the way i guess." there's no acknowledgement of this moment afterwards, Tezca and Justin fight and the next time we hear from Medusa she's telling Crona they did a good job during their fight with Black☆Star and Tsubaki. Medusa is just so casual about the fact that she's pushed a person so far that it will inevitably lead to her own death. she doesn't even try to amend anything or figure something else out after this. what's the point in amending your wrongs since there's no going back, i suppose.

Netflix's Ooku: The Inner Chambers anime adaption only have 10 episodes and unfortunately it didn't finished the manga. 1st episode is only the prologue and the rest tells the origin of Ooku tradition. Ooku is basically like an emperor's harem but its for female Shogun. It has messed up stories to maintain the bloodline and such. Well, what do you expect from harem stories lol I have read Saiunkoku Monogatari, Red River, Feng Qiu Huang and Kusuriya no Hitorigoto. This is nothing new to me.
As for these two, I love the pair even if its bittersweet. Arikoto is too good-looking and soft for his own good. Iemitsu Tokugawa aka Chie is a cool woman who don't deserve what happened to her but she came to accept her duty as the Shogun. Iemitsu talks like Garden of Sinners Ryougi Shiki(male) so its not hard to like her even if her logic is weird. Tbh the manga gets weirder because if my memory is right. Iemitsu's daughter will fall in love with Arikoto too lol I'm like "Girl, that's like your uncle lol"
But I think Ooku is like one shot stories of the people involved in Ooku. Do you know Hira Hira, Edo Karuta and Kagerou Inazuma Mizu No Tsuki by Ame Arare? Most of it are brothel stories but different characters. Its like that.

So you’re telling me Ichigo Kurosaki placed 80th on the top 100 most handsome and his twin Kunigami got 30 GIRL THEY DID MY MAN ICHI SO WRONGGG 😭😭
Anyway although I think my hero placed a bit to low (in my opinion) I’m happy that he placed at the top 50, pretty sure Kuni would accept that rating

104th Hop Step Award - H☆S (October, 1993)
Togashi-sensei's Direct Instructions! The road to conquer all areas of manga!
Mass Recruitment for the 104th (October 1993 Term) H☆S Award!! This month's judge is Yoshihiro Togashi-sensei!
The Hop☆Step Award (H☆S Award) was a monthly recruitment project by Weekly Shonen Jump (Shueisha) that took place from March 1985 to July 1996.
I already translated Togashi's ten "4-koma" that he drew during the Yu Yu Hakusho serialization to give advice to the participants of the H☆S Award - October 1991 & 1992 Terms.
This time, I am translating the October 1993 Term, where he gives the newcomer manga artists more tips and advice on how to create different styes of manga. The winner of this edition was Eiichiro Oda with the one-shot "Ikki Yakō" (一鬼夜行). At the time, Yu Yu Hakusho was in the Black Chapter Arc.
Togashi gives instructions to help creating gag, love comedies, sports and fantasy manga. He used a little bit of all those elements in Yu Yu Hakusho.
Part 1. Gag Manga
T/N: Chain letters (letters of misfortune) were popular in Japan during the Showa era. A ''letter'' or ''postcard'' was delivered to your home/work in the style of ''If you do not send it to a certain number of people, you will be unhappy.'' The sender is unknown. Chain letters were also a hot topic in magazines and manga, like Doraemon and a bunch of gag manga.

The funny versions of Yanagizawa, Kido and Kaito represent the editors in charge of:
Jungle King Tar-chan/DNA² (Kaoru Kushima);
Lucky Man/JoJo (KAITO Katsuhiko);
Yu Yu Hakusho/Monmonmon (Tomoyuki Shima)
Waiting for powerful works that will break these guys territories! !
They were responsible for the screening, checking all the applications and eliminating the mediocre works before passing them on to Togashi. Inside their territories, works with "characters that are all very similar," "characters with no strong personality at all" or "just imitations of existing characters" were mercifully discarded.
Part 2. Romantic Comedy

Part 3. Sports Manga

Part 4. Fantasy Manga
Source: Weekly Shounen Jump N°47, 1993. Shared by katsura_00
T/N: The fantasy illustration of Botan, Keiko, Yukina, Shizuru and Atsuko in medieval clothes was designed to the opening page of Yu Yu Hakusho volume 11, tankobon edition.
🏆 Winner: Eiichiro Oda
Oda-sensei was the inner of this edition! Togashi-sensei reviews his 31-page one-shot, "Ikki Yakou", that was published in the 1994 Shonen Jump Spring Special, and later reprinted in 1998 as part of Wanted!, a compilation of Oda's pre-One Piece stories.
