#tb manga #tokyo babylon #looking at the omnibus i am reminded that seishirou's name is spelled seishiro. wiithout the u #but i like the u. and I've been using the u forever. So with the u he shall stay #clamplove #hey look i actually posted two in a month. wow. how long has it been #i am so close to being done to volume 4!!!! didn't realize it at first but i am! #so. december 2020 finish date for volume 4 it is! #i sincerely hope! #volume 4 #if there are any typos I missed please let me know bc I am tired but wanted to get this out tonight for you all #ALSO!! #can i just say that subaru's line about arrogance and suffering #the ones where evil cult lady calls kuniko-chan's suffering trivial bc she didn't experience it #that always resonated with me. what might seem small to you might not seem small to others #what you think can be easily shoved off because you either never experienced it. or experienced something similar but still different #can't always be pushed aside so easily. some people are teased a little. it frustrates them. but it's not bad because it's just a little. #other people are downright tormented. you can't have a moment for yourself. you can never really escape. you're in the same spaces #even if you try to make your own space and not bother anyone. like kuniko-chan and her painting. the bullies will come #you can try all you want to avoid confrontation but sometimes it's not your choice. and then you're pushed to the breaking point #because the people who tormented you for so long and watched as you didn't react or just got a little mad figured that was it #maybe they thought it was funny when you were quiet. that nothing really bad would come from it. fun for them. eh for you #but eventually it becomes too much and you break down completely. poor kuniko-chan... #...can you tell i was bullied as a kid...and into highschool....damn you mark y. i just wanted to be left alone #but we shared a few classes and he sat behind me and you would think ppl would be more mature but no. he couldn't. #and then he got his friends in on it...like the head girl here...one to lead torment the rest to support #well thankfully there was no stabbing in my situation! And I graduated from high school a few years ago. But mark man... #go kuniko-chan. and clamp for including a story like this bc that's the point of tokyo babylon isn't it? #terrible things happen to regular people every day. sometimes things work out. sometimes they don't. #sometimes we get help. sometimes it's too late. i might not have had a subaru but it's nice to see kuniko-chan did yknow?
