Sunato Banda x F!Y/N
Genre: ??? (literally when I write about Banda I have no idea if he fits the romance genre, gals it's prob obsession but oh well) Obsession TW: Sunato Banda, Stalking involved (?) ["My doctors can't explain My symptoms or my pain But you are my strange addiction"]
Y/N L/N had entered the Jack of Hearts game with Chishiya Shuntaro.
"Why are you even here again? Didn't you say you wanted to go with Kuina?" Chishiya asked plainly, hands in his pockets as they stood outside the game arena.
"Not like I had a choice, Cheese Boy. You're just saying that because you don't want to be with someone annoying as me, right?"
"You said that yourself- ow" Y/N interrupted midsentence, pulling a generous amount of his hair harshly. "Y/N what the hell! I've just washed my hair with conditioner, don't ruin it" "Jerk, sometimes I don't know why i'm friends with you"
Chishiya was Y/N's best friend before the borderlands. They grew up together since his father knew hers, and Y/N was constantly at his house so he says he had 'no choice but to befriend that annoying monkey'.
"Whatever. Just be sensible and stick to me. This is a Hearts game, so you can't trust anyone but me. Okay?"
"I know, i'm not stupid"
_____________________
They stepped into the game area, collars locked around their necks. Chishiya glanced around, eyeing everyone in the room.
"He looks fishy, maybe he's the Jack" Y/N murmured to Chishiya, who turned to her and subtly followed her gaze to a male with kempt black hair. He wore a blue polo shirt lousily tucked into his grey pants. He stood at a corner next to another male with his bangs over one of his eyes- he wore a striped polo underneath a grey cardigan. "You think the blue polo guy is the Jack?" Y/N asked a little too blatantly, catching the male's attention from across the room. His mouth twisted into a small smirk and he began striding towards the two.
"Crap, he must have heard me." Y/N muttered.
The male stood before them glancing at the two silently, the same small smirk still plastered on his face. His expression made Y/N L/N feel unsettled.
"I heard you speaking about me. There's no need to be shy to approach me.. I don't bite" He laughed before holding out his hand. "Sunato Banda, it's a pleasure to meet people who are interested in me."
Y/N's eyes drifted to Chishiya who just stared at Sunato blankly, probably trying to read him. She noticed that Chishiya's eyebrows knit together for a split second, and she didn't blame him. Sunato Banda wasn't easy to read, his smirk didn't show any ill intention, but his eyes had a glint to them- a glint that the both couldn't understand. Y/N reached out and quickly shook hands with Sunato so as to not make the atmosphere awkward. He gripped her hand firmly as they shook hands, before he planted a soft kiss on her wrist.
"Your hand feels smooth. It suits you, Y/N."
Y/N's eyes shot up to meet his, surprise etched in her orbs. "H..how do you know my name?" She stammered, withdrawing her hand from him. "This isn't the first time I've encountered you" He said, his smirk growing wider. Y/N could feel her heart beating rapidly in her chest as she stared at the man in pure disbelief. Without warning, he laughed yet again.
"Gosh, I'm kidding. You look cute when you're shocked. I saw your name on the screen over there, when people join the game, their name and image shows up on the screen."
Chishiya and Y/N immediately turned to where Sunato was pointing to see that he wasn't wrong, everyone's names including theirs were recorded on the huge tv screen on the wall. Y/N could hear Chishiya softly let out a sigh of relief; and Y/N also breathed out with the same feeling, not even realizing she had held her breath.
"Let's team up. This is Eiji Matsushita, he teamed up with me. This is a game of trust, and I assure you that we are both trustworthy. What do you say to make an alliance?" Sunato asked the both of them.
Y/N opened her mouth to reply but Chishiya beat her to it. "Thank you for the offer, but we'll work alone. It's better to work in smaller groups, so when a ruckus is caused everybody can worry about themselves easily. Let's go, Y/N"
_______________
The amount of people slowly decreased and as Chishiya predicted there was a ruckus, people losing trust in others or voting who to secretly tell the wrong symbol to, guessing who the Jack could possibly be. The two were sitting together in the food area, munching absentmindedly on biscuits and chocolates.
Y/N's eyes drifted to the other table nearby to see Eiji sitting alone, staring at an empty packet of Dairy Milk.
"Cheese, do you have any guess who the Jack is?" She asked, only to get no response. "Chishiya" she turned back to see him staring at her, his hand holding out the packet of biscuits he was still munching on.
"You should try this, it tastes great." He replied nonchalantly, making Y/N scoff and snatch the biscuits away from him. "You women are so rude. I just offer biscuits, and you turn me down. I'm to handsome to be rejected, you know." He raised his eyebrows, his lips lifting into that teasing smile that annoyed Y/N so much.
"Who says your handsome? And stop that, we aren't here for you to act like a sweet innocent cookie-selling boy scout. We should focus. Who do you think is the Jack?" She asked him, regaining his attention.
"I have an idea but I won't tell you. You're smart, figure it out yourself" he shrugged, and she scoffed hitting the back of his head with her empty biscuit box.
"How about you, who do you think?" He asked her, rubbing his head
"I think it's that Sunato guy. He asks so strangely, and he seems unaffected after all the chaos and loss of game attendees. It's like he knows it's going to happen- like he planned all of this."
"I have my suspicion, and I agree with you. He's unreadable, earlier when we first got here I couldn't understand what his motives are. But I don't think he's the Jack, someone else fits the description of a Jack." Chishiya spoke calmly, sending a furtive glance to Eiji.
"Say what you want, but I really think it's that Sunato guy. If i'm wrong, I'll eat an entire bag of those biscuits you offered me earlier." She said confidently, and he smiled.
"Silly girl, whatever works for you."
________________
The game ended and Y/N was perplexed to see that Eiji was the Jack the whole time.
"That's impressive, Cheese. Eiji was the least suspicious person for me. He was always so quiet and he even seemed nervous of dying." She said as they strolled out of the game area.
"Impressive? Y/N, I'm Shuntaro Chishiya. This isn't impressive, it's the usual."
"Stop boasting or I'll bash your head against the wall."
"How about you eat the biscuits? I won after all"
She searched through her pockets then his, and smiled triumphantly. "You didn't bring any, and I didn't. I don't have to taste it, thank goodness"
"You hate the biscuits that much?" "It's only for clowns" "Haha, funny"
Y/N glanced at the sky for a few moments.
"Chishiya, i'll just get more supplies and food stocks before it gets too dark. We can find the others tomorrow." She informed him and he nodded, so she went off.
_________________
Y/N was gathering supplies and canned food into her backpack and turned around to leave, but bumped into a chest. She looked up to apologize but froze, the hair on the back of her neck tingling as she saw who it was.
"Funny seeing you here. I didn't see you after the game so I thought that dumb blonde (you'll always be a dumb blonde, ba ba ba da da da~) decided to lie to you about your symbol." Sunato Banda smirked yet again, making Y/N feel unsettled.
"He would never lie to me. Why are you here anyways?" She asked
"I want you to come with me." He said out of the blue
"Why should I?"
He had reached for her wrist dragging her along, Y/N failed to fight him off so she reluctantly followed.
They entered a shabby room on the second floor of an old apartment complex just nearby. Y/N was astonished as she took in her surroundings. The floor was mopped clean of dust and the windows were clear. The sofa was neat and the throw pillows had clean sheets on. Even the electric battery-stove had a kettle burning on it.
Before Y/N could react, Sunato pushed her to sit down on the sofa heading to the kitchen area to probably get refreshments.
"Here..I got this specially for you." He mentioned calmly, placing a tray of food before her.
Y/N froze, seeing the contents of the tray.
On the tray was a hot cup of tea, and right beside it was something Y/N wasn't expecting.
Right beside the cup of tea was a bag of the exact same biscuits Chishiya was offering her during the Jack of Hearts game.
Sunato leaned forward, the same smirk plastered on his lips, his eyes darkening ever so slightly as he held up the bag of biscuits towards her.
"It was an honor to be one of your suspicions during the game. But you do have a point, right? I do seem strange and unaffected during the game."
'How does he knows I said that about him?'
Y/N could hear her heart thumping in her chest. She could feel sweat trickling down her forehead as she held her breath, her gaze frozen on his.
"What are you playing at?" She snapped, her voice crack giving away her fear.
His smirk grew wider, shaking the bag in his hand as the sound of the biscuits shaking inside filled the room. The atmosphere felt thick and uncomfortable, the energy radiating from the male in a blue polo unknown yet unsettling.
"I don't think it would be fair on Chishiya Shuntaro if you don't keep your promise on the bet.. don't you think?"
Y/N felt a pang of bravery in herself and used that small ounce of strength left in her to shove Sunato and run out the room, his laugh ringing in her ears as she stumbled down the flight of stairs back to her temporary place with Chishiya.
She arrived at the makeshift campout, panting heavily. Y/N then felt her delayed reaction, her legs shaking and turning to jelly, the hair on her arms still tingling against her skin. Chishiya got up and went to her, catching her as her legs gave way.
"Woah, are you okay? What happened? Where have you been?"
His questions were nonsense to her ringing ears, all she could hear was the dry eerie laugh that erupted from Banda as she rushed down the stairs out of the apartment complex. She could still smell the cup of tea, and the shaking of the biscuit bag.
Whoever the man in the blue polo was, Y/N didn't want to think about his name ever again.
However, a few hundred meters away from where she was, Sunato Banda sat on the very spot Y/N sat on in the couch, staring at the cup of tea that had now gone cold, the bag of biscuits still in his hand.
The man in the blue polo wouldn’t forget the girl that placed a bet because she assumed he was Jack of Hearts.
And he certainly wouldn’t forget the feeling of her soft palm as he shook her hand.
He wanted to feel it again.
A/N: Helloo, sorry I haven't been writing. I've been super busy since I just finished my junior moving up ceremony and I'm fixing my enrollment for senior high. Apologies if Sunato is slightly ooc, i did my best. I got motivated after I read a tumblr on this so it's slightly inspired. I hope you enjoy! You may put up requests on the Author's Note section before all the oneshots :)) Have a great day!

i cannot stand the fact adap Chishiya is a Hearts player, sowz. it's clear to me the adap writers completely misunderstood what makes someone a Hearts player in the first place and ran with it.
Chishiya can read others emotions to some extent, sure, but not in-depth enough to sympathize.
you wanna know why Chishiya (and Niragi) are Diamonds players? because they don't care enough to truly understand the hearts of others. they manipulate situations, not (usually) out of desperation, but because it's all they know. they lack a genuine understanding with others.
(adap) Arisu being a Diamonds player also completely misses the point: Arisu is so similar to Chishiya and Niragi that if, at any point prior to the Borderlands, he had one more thing go wrong, he could've ended up like the two of them; but he didn't because he refused to be like that.
Arisu is a Hearts player because he's both smarter than he gives himself credit for, and emotionally mature enough to take to heart (wink wink) the emotions of others and actively put himself in their shoes to get through a game.
that last reason is why Matsushita Enji is such a lousey Hearts player, because, like Chishiya and Niragi, he isn't emotionally mature enough to truly be good at Hearts. he has great setups, sure, but he's too proud to acknowledge other players and their inteligence, which is why he was ultimately defeated by Yaba and Banda.
Yaba and Banda both come from backgrounds where they need to read others to some extent: Yaba, a CEO who climbed the corporate ladder by reading others and using those emotions to his advantage (as we saw happen with Arisu when he was confronted by the militants), and Banda, a misogynistic murderer who got into the houses of women he killed, needed to be agile enough to get them to trust him by manipulating the situation in his favor, all while keeping in mind the emotions of those he killed.
Hearts games are not won by sheer manipulation, as we saw with Enji and Urumi; there needs to be a level of connection with others if you want to survive, which is also why Mitsurugi's defeat was so upsetting; ideally, he did everything right, but ultimately was a bit too confident in his plan and thus, refused to acknowledge the power the other players had. he was too good of a person.
Mira is a bit of an outlier, not because she was bad at the games or anything, but because she's the perfect mix of both understanding and master manipulator; if she went up against any other player in the Borderlands, they would easily lose. Arisu almost lost too, but as we've established, Hearts games are built off connections with others and Usagi was needed in order to make it.
I'm sure Mira was well-aware of that fact, especially with Arisu, but her ulimate failure was the same as Mitsurugi's: she ended up downplaying the connection between him and Usagi. Hearts games need love, level-headedness, mild manipulation, and an open mind if you intend to win.
going back to my main point, that's why Chishiya either avoids Hearts games all together, manipulates people during them, or turns to violence; he lacks the emotional maturity and agency to clear one the way they are meant to be cleared, why Arisu is a much better Hearts player than Chishiya will ever be, and why the adap writers completely misunderstood that point.

jdorama autumn 2022
Atom no Ko | Atom's Child (8.9) Stars: Yamazaki Kento, Matsushita Kouhei, Kishii Yukino
Despite there being more and more yaoi shows being made these days, mainstream Japanese TV shows have been slow to lean into homoeroticism, even with blatantly homoerotic remakes like Suits. That is to say, I absolutely look forward to this show capitalising on the homoeroticism exploding forth in the 2nd episode with "but you still have me don't you", "of course I always know exactly where you are how long have I known you", "he's always rushing forward and it makes my blood tremble with excitement", amongst other things like the run-of-the-mill reading each other's mind and recognising each other through their gameplay and being each other's inspiration and giving up your life's dream so you can get justice for the other person. Ahem.
I really liked Matsushita Kouhei in Sai'ai, but I think it was hard to stand out against the stellar cast of that drama. He totally blew the 2nd episode out of the park with this one, though. Even with most of his numb expression obscured by shadows, he still near brought me to tears with the way his voice tore on the lines, "That sort of thing? That was the happiest time of my life."
The premise is very similar to Free Guy without the fantastical elements. Two childhood friends had their game stolen by a major gaming company. One of them enters the company to work for them, while the other one swears off making games ever again. Odagiri Joe even looks like Taika Waititi's character. I wasn't entirely sold on the first episode, but I'm definitely in after the 2nd one! (That said I hope it hasn't messed up its pacing because I was definitely expecting the disagreement between the two main characters to last more than one episode) It's also nice to see Kishii Yukino in a normal role for once, and judging by her acting in the first episode she deserves to have more of these.
Shin'ai naru boku he satsui wo komete | My dearest self with malice afterthought (4.5) Stars: Yamada Ryosuke, Kawaei Rina
It's about a college student who wakes up one day having lost his memory of the preceding 3 days, and realising slowly that maybe he's been leading a double life as a mobster/serial killer (although as it turns out, the truth isn't so simple).
I'm three episodes in and I think I still need to give it more time to see how I feel about it. For a start, I did not expect it to be quite so gruesome...and clearly, neither did Japanese Twitter. The story has potential, but I'm always worried about Japanese shows/books/manga that set up layers of mystery then fail to resolve them satisfactorily.
Yamada-kun is really trying his hardest, but...Eiji is starting to get really annoying with his whimpering. I kind of have to see what Yamada looks like playing "B-ichi" to work out if I can deal with his acting.

You're Okay Now... You Will Be Okay...
Tumblr media
Looks like I'm going to the roller coaster of emotions *yeets to the roller coaster and rides on it*
Here is a fluff artwork of both Link and Zelda from Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity and (well before) The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, hugging and comforting each other.
https://www.deviantart.com/supershadowsilver/status-update/I-might-plan-to-restart-920484512
I had made a decision to restart the game in order to get better and know what to do ^^; I like the game though. For this, I might choose Age of Calamity, just before Breath of the Wild before Calamity Ganon's return ^^; I have not beaten Age of Calamity, I will try my best ;)
Stupid me made a pretty crappy progress and having me to start over :p

Saiai (Dearest): Seberapa Jauh Takdir Bisa Mempertemukanmu Kembali…
I’m crazy for you
Oh, someone who can upend my whole life
Ah, this feels like endless deja vu
I’m losing my mind, I’m so crazy for you
Tumblr media
Musim gugur tahun 2021 dipenuhi dengan deretan drama-drama papan atas. Menurut saya pribadi ada tiga drama Jepang yang membuat saya jatuh cinta di musim gugur tahun 2021 ini: Avalanche, Japan Sinks dan Saiai. Nah langsung saja berikut ini review singkat mengenai Saiai.
Saiai (Dearest)
Director: Tsukahara Ayuko
Writer: Okudera Satoko, Shimizu Yukako
Network: TBS
Episodes: 10
Release Date: Oct 15 - Dec 17, 2021
TV Ratings: 8.7%
Cast: Yoshitaka Yuriko, Matsushita Kouhei, Iura Arata, Yakushimaru Hiroko, Mitsuishi Ken, Okayama Amane, Sakou Yoshi, Asai Daichi, Sakuma Yui, Tsuda Kenjiro, Tanaka Minami, Oikawa Mitsuhiro, Takahashi Fumiya
Saiai bercerita tentang Sanada Rio (Yoshitaka Yuriko) yang di tahun 2006 hidup di desa kecil di Gifu, ketika suatu saat terjadi kasus hilangnya seorang mahasiswa di Universitas tempat ayahnya, Asamiya Tatsuo (Mitsuishi Ken) bekerja sebagai juru masak. Di malam hilangnya mahasiswa tersebut Rio samar-samar mengingat sebuah kenyataan mengerikan. Selanjutnya, ia diminta ayahnya untuk ikut ibunya di Tokyo dan setelah ikut dengan ibunya, Sanada Azusa (Yakushimaru Hiroko), Rio belajar ilmu farmasi di perguruan tinggi dan kini di tahun 2021 ketika ia sudah menginjak 30 tahun, Rio menjadi CEO muda dari Sanada Wellness, anak perusahaan dari Sanada Holdings yang dipegang Sanada Azusa. Rio menjadi pusat perhatian karena pencapaiannya menjadi CEO di usia yang begitu muda dan sosoknya yang cantik. Namun suatu hari, Rio lebih menjadi dari sekedar pusat perhatian karena ia menjadi saksi dalam sebuah kasus pembunuhan yang ternyata berkaitan dengan kasus hilangnya mahasiswa di tahun 2006. Pengacara keluarga Sanada, Kanichiro Kase (Iura Arata) berusaha melindungi Rio apa pun yang terjadi. Namun seorang detektif, Miyazaki Daiki (Matsushita Kouhei), berusaha mencari kebenaran atas kaitan kejadian di tahun 2021 dan 2006 sekalipun Sanada Rio adalah cinta pertamanya.
Saiai menyuguhkan drama misteri berbalut romance, dengan banyak kenangan campur aduk ditunjukkan lewat waktu yang pas. Cara penulis menulis cerita maju mundur di tahun 2006 kemudian maju kembali ke tahun 2021 di seluruh episode membuat Saiai semakin menarik. Judul Saiai sendiri sangat tepat untuk menggambarkan cerita ini, karena seluruh misteri yang menyelubungi kisah yang mengkaitkan kasus di tahun 2006 dan 2021 semata-mata merupakan cara seseorang melindungi orang yang ia sayangi.
Sutradara dari drama ini bukanlah orang baru dalam dunia drama. Ya, Tsukahara Ayuko juga merupakan sutradara kondang yang mungkin bisa dianggap kesayangan channel TBS. sebelumnya ia mengerjakan drama Kikazaru Koi niha Riyuu ga Atte (Why I Dress Up For Love), MIU 404, Unnatural, dan salah satu drama favorit saya, Second Love. Untuk dua penulis naskah sayangnya saya kurang mengenali karya-karya Okudera Satoko, tapi Shimizu Yukako mungkin cukup dikenal karena menjadi penulis naskah adaptasi drama Korea Selatan She Was Pretty (Kanojo wa Kirei Datta) yang tayang di musim panas 2021 dan diperankan oleh Nakajima Kento serta Fuka Koshiba dan Eiji Akaso.
Duet Maut Yoshitaka Yuriko dan Matsushita Kouhei
Menurut saya, Saiai tidak akan berhasil tanpa permainan peran hebat dari 4 tokoh utama di masa depan: Yoshitaka Yuriko, Matsushita Kouhei, Iura Arata dan Takahashi Fumiya. Menariknya, tiga aktor dan aktris yang disebut di awal adalah para bintang papan atas Jepang, tapi Takahashi Fumiya terbilang baru dalam wajah industri drama dan film Jepang. Itulah sebabnya saya yakin Takahashi Fumiya akan semakin laris manis ke depannya.
Yoshitaka Yuriko adalah aktris terkenal Jepang yang selalu ciamik membawakan karakter yang ia perankan. Saya ingat menonton perannya pertama kali dalam film Bokura Ga Ita (We Were There) bersama Ikuta Toma, sebuah film cerita cinta SMA yang manis dan hangat dan juga dipenuhi oleh rasa rindu. Penampilan keduanya berhasil membuat penonton tersihir atas chemistry mereka. Yoshitaka Yuriko juga termasuk aktris yang hebat karena ia bisa dengan mudah dirias sebagai anak SMA/kuliah dan juga menjadi seorang wanita eksekutif muda secara bersamaan.
Kali ini, ia dipasangkan dengan Matsushita Kouhei, yang memerankan cinta pertamanya. Saya sudah pernah melihat penampilan Matsushita Kouhei dalam drama musim gugur tahun 2020 berjudul Remolove kala ia dipasangkan dengan Haru dalam kisah cinta virtual di tengah kondisi Covid-19. Menurut saya, Matsushita Kouhei pintar membangun chemistry dengan lawan mainnya, karena ia sangat ekspresif dan tatapannya benar-benar penuh penghayatan. Ah, kalau bermain peran dengannya sudah pasti baper!
Tidak lupa, peran hebat Iura Arata sangat mendulang keberhasilan Saiai. Saya sudah melihat kehebatannya dalam drama Rich Man Poor Woman dalam kisah cinta segitiga antara Oguri Shun dan Ishihara Satomi. Jika dalam Rich Man Poor Woman saya terkesima melihat Iura Arata berebut kekuasaan dan hati Ishihara Satomi dengan Oguri Shun, dalam drama Saiai saya takjub melihat kehebatannya memainkan peran pengacara penuh kepiawaian dengan lagak utamanya poker face.

Manga Giveaway: Tokyo ESP Giveaway Winner
And the winner of the Tokyo ESP manga giveaway is… AshLynx!
As the winner, AshLynx will be receiving the first omnibus in Hajime Segawa’s manga series Tokyo ESP as published in English by Vertical Comics. Tokyo ESP is a relatively recent example of a manga that’s about psychics and espers. The subgenre doesn’t seem to be quite as common as it once was in translation, but it’s certainly still around. And so for this giveaway, I asked that participants tell me a little about their favorite espers and psychics from manga. Mob from Mob Psycho 100 was mentioned the most frequently (I really hope an English-language publisher will license that series soon!), but there are other really great characters mentioned in the giveaway comments, too!
Some of the psychic/esper manga available in English: A, A’ by Moto Hagio Akira by Otomo Katsuhiro Alive: The Final Evolution written by Tadashi Kawashima, illustrated by Adachitoka Baoh by Hirohiko Araki Betrayal Knows My Name by Hotaru Odagiri Beyond the Blindfold by Sakura Tsukuba A Certain Magical Index written by Kazuma Kamachi, illustrated by Chuya Kogino A Certain Scientific Accelerator written by Kazuma Kamachi, illustrated by Yamaji Arata A Certain Scientific Railgun written by Kazuma Kamachi, illustrated by Motoi Fuyukawa Clover by CLAMP Descendants of Darkness by Yoko Matsushita Drug & Drop by CLAMP Domu by Otomo Katushiro ES: Eternal Sabbath by Fuyumi Soryo From the New World written by Yusuke Kishi, illustrated by Toru Oikawa Ghost Hunt by Shiho Inada Hands Off! by Kasane Katsumoto I.O.N. by Arina Tanemura Jihai by Toshimi Nigoshi Kimagure Orange Road by Izumi Matsumoto Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service written by Eiji Otsuka, illustrated by Housui Yamazaki Legal Drug by CLAMP Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer by Satoshi Mizukami Mai, the Psychic Girl written by Kazuya Kudo, illustrated by Ryoichi Ikegami Maoh: Juvenile Remix by Megumi Osuga Mistress Fortune by Arina Tanemura The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya written by Nagaru Tanigawa, illustrated by Gaku Tsugano Night Head Genesis by You Higuri Please Save My Earth by Saki Hiwatari Psychic Power Nanaki by Ryo Saenagi Psycho Busters written by Tadashi Agi, illustrated by Akinari Nao Psyren by Toshiaki Iwashiro Rasetsu by Chika Shiomi Spiritual Police by Youka Nitta Telepathic Wanderers written by Yasutaka Tsutsui, illustrated by Sayaka Yamazaki To Terra… by Keiko Takemiya Tokyo ESP by Hajime Segawa Tokyo Babylon by CLAMP Wild Com. by Yumi Tamura X by CLAMP Yurara by Chika Shiomi YuYu Hakusho by Yoshihiro Togashi
That’s quite a list, and I’m certain that’s not all of the manga with psychics and espers to have been released in English. Even so, I think there’s a nice variety of genres and even types of psychics represented, and you’ve got to start somewhere. Thank you to everyone who participated and shared your favorite espers with me. I hope to see you again for the next giveaway!
