Seeing people say Jinshi is not all that and how his relevance doesn’t make sense HURTS ME… 😓

Guys, he’s a complex character, trust me 💔💔  People often seem to forget that he’s not just a silly ‘airhead’ in love. Even Maomao MULTIPLE times acknowledges & mentions how scary and intelligent Jinshi is. Like, he realized Maomao was literate in the matter of a few mins and then he used that against her cuz he realized she must’ve been the one who warned Lady Gyoukyo

And then there’s just some people who hate him cuz he’s twisted & say that makes him a sh*tty leading character

Which i don’t get?? Of course the leads of a thriller mystery will be manipulative or sly. Or at the very least flawed to some capacity. Even Maomao herself is almost equally twisted and tends to be self serving Them both being flawed is what makes them intriguing characters. They both have their vices that they acknowledge - vices that add another layer of complexity upon their characters. Do you imagine how uninteresting this series would become if Jinshi was seriously JUST a silly lover boy and Maomao was a simple girl ready to help ANYTIME AND ANY DAY instead of being the way she is? This story’s charm comes not only just from the intriguing setting/mysteries but also how these flawed, yet interesting, characters act and think in said settings.

Japanese series and their tendency to hit our hearts with angst never fails

The feeling of loneliness and worthlessness when one has nothing, the person will stop expecting anything from life and will treat the bare minimum as the happiness.

Kai deserves better.

Also Bonus (Spoiler if you have not caught up to this episode):

It escalated quite quickly

Hatsukoi by Mizuno Hideko

Today, we've got a special treat for older shoujo connoisseurs! "Hatsukoi," a oneshot by Mizuno Hideko, was first published in Deluxe Margaret back in 1967.

The original story behind this oneshot is quite something. "First Love" was written by Ivan Turgenev back in 1860, the story of a young man who falls in love with a charming young woman by the name of Zinaida. Unfortunately, not everything goes as planned... You can read the English translation on Project Gutenberg: First Love.

We discovered that this story is actually an autobiographical of events from Turgenev, which really adds a whole 'nother flavor to it. Poor Ivan...

You can download Hatsukoi here or read it online on Mangadex here. Enjoy!

A friend of mine sent me this in the early hours of the morning. It took me a while to register that what i was looking at:

For those of you unfamiliar, this is a preview video released by netflix 1 mnth ago (and the fact that my friend had to send this to me just shows you how absolutely horrendous i am with social media 🤣) of the now adapted into animation version of thr manga PLUTO by Naoki Urasawa.

I nearly jumped out of study table in absolute joy when i saw the familiar faces cross my screen. I have been a fan of Urasawa's - ever since high school - when i read 2 of his stories: Monster and Pluto. Both of his stories - tho intrinsically different - never fail to capture the imagination of its reader; both in art style and storytelling.

Between Monster and Pluto, the latter is my favourite. In fact it is my favourite manga of all time. The overarching message it gives to the reader is universal in nature, and i feel more than ever is relatable in this day and age.

I first heard of a proposal for an anime adaptation of Pluto early on in 2017. When i read nothing of it since then, i had presumed that the project lost funding and resigned myself to never see an animated adaptation of it soon. But it seems I was gladly proven wrong this time. From this video alone it is clear that the animation team has really outdone themselves - they clearly took the time to observe Urasawa's artstyle in order to successfully replicate it in animation form (especially the combat scene!)

This adaptation of PLUTO has come a long way since being first proposed in 2017 and i really look forward to what it would have in store for us when it is finally released this year.

the ban for dangais/BL live actions has been silently lifted after some changes in the management. BL live adaptations can now air anytime after passing the review and obtaining its distribution license. But they cannot promote its CP and will have less promotion.

Dangais from different platforms will air one by one.

40 Day Anime Challenge Day 18: Your NOTP (that regrettably became canon): All of the Sailor Senshi with all of the 4 Heavenly Kings from Sailor Moon Crystal (2015)

Synopsis (from Wikipedia): “Usagi Tsukino, a middle school student, is given the power to become a Pretty Soldier. Joined by other Sailor Soldiers, she defends Earth against an assortment of evil villains.”

(Art credit in photo- I couldn’t find a screenshot of all of them but I love the merging that this artist has done)

I love SMC for fixing a lot of the flaws of the 90s anime, cutting out unnecessary villain of the week filler, better developing the characters, and following the manga better. And I know that in the manga, the 4 senshi and the 4 kings are a thing. But look, it’s lazy writing. How tf do not only the moon princess and the earth prince fall in love, but also each of their soldiers pair off nicely with each other? No one looks for love anywhere else? No love triangles? No complications of any kind? Unrealistic. Lazy. And outside of Venus and Kunzite (which is a ship I actually love in SMC), we are not given any reasons for why any of the others fell for each other, we’re just supposed to accept that it happened. Which is bad enough, though I still probably could have let it go, HOWEVER:

The original anime may have gotten a lot wrong but THEY GOT THIS RIGHT AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL!!!!! Nephrite x Naru forever!!!!!

Also:

Zoisite and Kunzite being so in love despite being “unloving villains” (and then the English dub trying to make it look like they were brothers and making it even weirder...ah I love SM English dub backfires lololol)

And:

Jaedite being a strong independent man that don’t need no woman, because not everyone needs a partner!

The Wrong Way of Using Healing Magic

I talked about this once on my list of action manga recommendations.

This is one of my favorite isekais and a great source of inspiration for my webnovels and webcomic.

I love the idea of using healing magic to speed up muscle growth, love the characters, the humor, the banter, the action (at least in the manga and novel, let's hope the action translates well for the anime 🙏), this is just a fun series.

I hope it does well.
