But I have to post it now before it becomes inaccurate! So have my messy drawings

thinking about how tk reacts to being called the coach's son, how upset he is, how he turns to recounting his accomplishments, trying to create that distance between them, and thinking about how many times he's done this before. what it must've been like to grow up as owen strand's son in the aftermath of 9/11. the boy whose dad saved so many people and lost his entire crew, then rebuilt his entire firehouse. thinking about how many times tk's been called the coach's son, accused of being favored because of who his dad is, unable to exist outside of owen's shadow for all incredible, wonderful, heroic reasons that somehow don't feel that way. the tension between loving his dad and being so proud of him and resenting him a little for all of it.

I'm not the biggest Kotaro fan (and I think you are right in your post that he also feels some jealousy and entitlement) but I think he is also driven and motivated by the fact that he is a noble servant of a noble house who must protect Satoko from bad life choices. So obviously, he is (in his mind) doing the right thing by "protecting" her from eloping with an underclass dude who is also an assassin. Satoko will obviously regret "staining the honor of her house and herself" later (or so he thinks). Classism drives a lot of the conflict in HnY, too. It's fucked up but Satoko is on the brink of (maybe) escaping a deeply messed up value system and living for herself but Kotarou is in so deep that he thinks that her leaving it is miserable and bad.
YEAH this is the main reason why kotaro acts this way hes raised to protect the kirigaya familys interests and its for satoko to be married into a prestigious family. kotaro is protecting satoko from bad decisions as a bodyguard and as her only friend since childhood. hes seen her struggle and make sacrifices and do everything for her dream of marriage for years of course when some dude comes along and satokos resolve wavers hes going to think its a very bad decision (also shinpei did drug and got him saed and tried to kill him so) i think theres two kinds of entitlement kotaro has too which is ofc the romantic jealousy one and also being satokos bodyguard and childhood friend he knows her best and will make decisions for her(that he thinks is in her best interest) because he thinks he knows better. satoko is making a very insane stupid choice in his pov she’s obviously not thinking clearly so he has to make decisions for her to protect her. all of these reinforce kotaros belief that satokos true and only happiness is being married into a noble family

Eh, it’s already almost been two weeks? Yikes. Last week was finals.
Someone tell me why I’m so invested in a ship in a comedy/gag manga ;~; Especially one chock full of curveballs? Ahhh, I feel like I’m setting myself up for disappointment, but whatever—I enjoy the humor all the same.
Anyway, wasn’t planning on this being my next post, but the day after I finished my last final, I found out the newest chapter of this manga had been translated (just in time: good de-stresser), and since I don’t really have anyone to talk about it with, I needed a way to get it out of my system while I wait for the next chapter. Been meaning to do something for D-Frag! for the longest time, so why not some very condensed manga panel “sketches”? Well, pretty clean sketches, ‘cause I for some reason felt like being a perfectionist when I intended not to be -.-
I can also pretend that this is a planned celebration for the 150th chapter :P Was expecting a very different chapter, but I am very happy with what I got instead, as is apparent…

if anyone wants to write any Long Hair Problems(tm), here are some common complaints from me, someone who has had long hair most of my life.
have on more than one occasion risen from bed only to yank myself down because my elbow was on my hair
walked to the table for food while carrying something, leaned over to eat and started screaming because my hair was dropping into the soup
can and HAVE used my own hair as a scarf before.
it's not that long anymore but I have sat on my hair by accident before and leaning forward DOES yank it
I sleep with my hair loose and move it up over my pillow but bc it's so long and I don't want it to hang off the bed, I pull my hair back toward me on the pillow and sometimes I will turn around and startle myself because there is a mass of black right next to my face.
MUST tie up hair before doing anything. washing dishes? brushing teeth? cleaning toilet? lean forward a little bit and suddenly all your hair is falling right into the target direction you don't want it to go. and it will fall over your shoulders.
