Is it true that narusasu is just like every other shonen rivalry and not any different than any other rivals relationship shown? Like I know in hxh killua and gon are really popular, is it the same as narusasu? Some ppl use that to say narusasu wasn't intentional and ppl just like shipping 2 main male characters
No, Naruto/Sasuke is VERY different from other shonen rivalries. Most of my blog is dedicated to pointing out that their relationship is romantic, aside from them being rivals and friends.
Killua and Gon isn't really the same because they are friendly from the beginning, they don't need to pretend they don't like each other. They meet another kid that is the same age as them and soon become bestfriends (which neither had before). Gon is very naive and innocent so it's hard to decipher his sexuality, but there are some possible signs of Killua viewing Gon in a romantic light later in the series. However, I don't believe for a moment that Togashi would be against people shipping the two, knowing how he is.
But Naruto/Sasuke is a whole another thing because the whole manga focuses on their relationship, with Kishimoto always bringing attention back to it, and making Naruto bring it up one way or another. There's an entire journey of Naruto trying to understand Sasuke and his own feelings, and Sasuke trying to get away from his own feelings towards Naruto. Their love literally ends a long bitter cycle that no one could end before lol.

Anime I watched in 2023 (Part 2)
If you came here from the part 1, I thank you and I appreciate you. Now, this part of the list will include some shows I wanted highlight and some extras. Okay, that's it. Let's go!
Some of my older lists:
My favourite animes (Old. Tells of my tastes back in, like, 2018-2020 or something. Updated list coming once I get around to it)
Feel good anime Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3
Blue Lock
Yoichi Isagi is a member of his high school’s soccer team and during one of their important games, he makes a decision that costs their team a chance of going to the nationals. Bitter and disappointed, Isagi returns home only to find a letter from the Japan Football Union waiting for him. He has been chosen to be a candidate for a new projects called ”Blue Lock”. The competition is tough and ruthless. Who will make it through to the end?
24 episodes - sports
Everyone and their mother watched this one for sure. I might hate irl soccer due to finding it extremely boring (sorry irl soccer fans), but this one I really liked due to it making the sport actually interesting for me. I gotta also say that I found their eyes kinda unsettling when they entered their ”monster modes” (I can not say that with a straight face lol) but other than that, the animation was quite good.
Moriarty the Patriot
In the late 19th century Britain, William James Moriarty and his accomplices with nobles’ blood on their hands work together on a grand plan to bring down the system that favours aristocracy. A mathematician by day and a crime consultant by night, William James Moriarty is about to meet his match - one gentleman called Sherlock Holmes.
24 episodes and 2 OVAs - drama, thriller, mystery
Love me some more victorian era Sherlock Holmes shenanigans. I was so late to this one but it was still so worth the watch (and the read. The manga is just *chef’s kiss*)
*Mastermind by Taylor Swift playing in the distance* Honestly, imagine meeting you soulmate (platonic or otherwise) and them being on the completely other side of law from you. The drama of it all. (Yes, I’m very normal about these two)
Dr. Stone (Season 3 + Nanami Ryuusui Extra)
Over 3700 years ago, a mysterious beam of light enveloped every human into a layer of stone. To stay conscious, Ishigami Senku started to count seconds from the moment he was petrified. When he manages to break free from the stone in the spring of the year 5738, the human civilisation as he knew it had already disappeared. What will happen from now on? What will happen to rest of the petrified people? Are there others who have depetrified?
3 seasons + Nanami Ryuusui extra - action, adventure, comedy, drama, sci-fi, shonen
You will find this anime/manga on my updated favourites list, I’m warning you in advance.
I love, love, love this anime so much. It follows the manga so well and yes, I do recommend the manga for anyone interested. It’s really, really good and didn’t let me down unlike some others have. Also, it’s so refreshing to have a main character who is actively very much uninterested in sex and romance. How aro and ace of him (personal headcanon, no need to fight me for it)
BRB gonna go make myself a Gen Asagiri cosplay. My favourite scheming gremlin.
Tomo-chan Is a Girl!
Tomo is a high school girl with a crush on her long time bestfriend, a boy named Junichiro. She tries to confess to him but unfortunately she has been placed into the friendzone from where it seems almost impossible to escape from. With Tomo being very tomboyish and physically strong, it’s just hard for Junichiro to see her as a girl. Will she get out of the friendzone? Maybe she should get some help from her other friends…
13 episodes - romance, comedy
I didn’t think I would like it as much as I did. ’Childhood bestfriends to lovers’ trope with a healthy sprinkling of pining, chaos and ridiculousness. Delicious.
Romantic Killer
Anzu, a high school girl obsessed with video games, cats and chocolate and fully uninterested in romance, gets assigned a wizard that is going to do everything in their power to create the perfect love life for her. Anzu, however, is having none of it. Game on, you stupid wizard!
12 episodes - comedy, romace, supernatural
I kind of have a lot to say about this one, so buckle up. As an aroace person (who also, coincidentally, loves cats, chocolate and video games) I found the premise a bit annoying at first. I do love, well, love, but it pissed me off that romance was treated as an ”end all, be all” kind of thing and everything else as irrelevant rubbish. Trying to force someone into a relationship via magical means felt wrong. You could say I’m reading too much into this and yes, maybe I am, seeing as the premise was a ”to counteract the low birth rates” gag, but I’m also entitled to my own opinion and critiquing hetero- and amatonormativity.
Regardless, I ended up actually quite liking the anime as it progressed. The backstories for the characters were interesting and I found myself really loving Anzu’s headstrong personality. She doesn’t let the wizard push her around and stands her ground quite often. I really appreciated that. Also the humour in the show did make me laugh quite often, which is always a plus. That being said, I wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to whack the wizard around the ears. Annoying little thing, that one is.
Sasaki and Miyano
Yoshikazu Miyano, the schools resident BL loving student, meets his senpai named Shuumei Sasaki after he saves Miyano’s classmate from being bullied. This chance encounter and Miyano accidentally revealing his interest towards BL bring the two together and from that day onwards Sasaki is stuck to him like glue.
13 episodes and an OVA - Romance (BL), drama
My VPN worked its ass off when I read this manga on some shady ass website lmao. I just had to know what happens after the point where the anime ends.
Very sweet. Do recommend.
The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting
Kirishima Toru works for the Sakuragi family. One day the head of the yakuza crime family summons him and tasks him with the duty of taking care of his daughter, Yaeka. How will this ”demon of Sakuragi” handle his new responsibility of watching over her?
12 episodes - comedy
This filled the hole in my heart that Spy x Family ending left at the time. Really heartwarming and I loved the bonds the characters in this show had.
The Salaryman’s Club
Shiratori Mikoto is really good at badminton. That is until an incident in the Interhigh leaves him unable to play how he wants to. Things start to change when he gets a job at Sunlight Beverages and joins their weak and amateurish badminton team.
12 episodes - sports
I saw no one talk about this??? Anyway, I liked this one. A lot. There might a little bias on my side since I actually practiced badminton when I was younger, but I think I would have liked this regardless! The characters had nice dynamics and liked the aspect of ’salarymen by day, badminton players by night’. Have you even lived if you haven’t experienced the highs and lows of corporate world badminton?
And finally, we have a few honorable mentions without descriptions, only vibes and opinions:
Latest season of Tokyo Revengers (Chifuyu truly is the bestest of boys, the homiest of homies. I also read the manga in its entirety. That one I have… a lot of opinions about, not all of them good)
Our Dating Story: the Experienced You and the Inexperienced Me (this one was just okay for me. I actually don’t know if I ever finished it… Well, I’m gonna have to accept the fact that I’m just not someone who enjoys the ’established relationship’ trope…)
Trigun Stampede (I’m not usually scifi kind of person but this one I really enjoyed!)
Komi Can’t Communicate (Not much to say about this one. It was very nice and I particularly liked the way Tadano almost seemed like he was able to read minds hahaha)
The latest season of Demon Slayer (Honestly, a little disappointed. It felt simultaniously very slow and very fast. Also, kinda boring compared to the last arcs. Still decent tho)
Spy x Family (Ah, Spy Family, my beloved. I liked this one a lot)
Chainsaw Man (Gotta admit, I was a little traumatized by the episode 7. I have never wanted to crawl out of my own skin more while watching anime, than I did while watching that episode. The skipping and pausing I had to do with that one… Damn. Other than that one episode, I liked this one enough to finish it)
My Dress-Up Darling (mixed feelings about this one. I just wanted a nice anime about cosplay and sewing and ended up getting fanservice and sexualization of minors. I’m in my mid to late 20s, I don’t need that shit. Just feels weird and wrong. I did finish it, albeit I did skip all the fanservicey scenes)

I’m not going to convince people that I’m worthy. I’m going to convince myself that I have worth. To help people. To save people. And never a setback to anyone.
~Teppei Sugo (Unspoken Words).
POV: This sketch scene was inspired by the infamous slap received by Sugo-chan from the hands of his late bestfriend's wife, Rin Otomo, after his confession.
Is it just me? Or if Sugo will become a Shonen Manga protagonist, he will surely look spicy 🥰
My favorite wolverine❣️😋😘

So, I reread Jujutsu Kaisen... I love everything about the manga but I must say something disappointed me a little... please I hope I don’t offend you guys this is just me personally and how I feel 😭
This particular part disappointed me. I’m not a shipper at all because I tend to look into characters and how they interact with other characters and the story. So I’m a say this:
I was upset with this. As someone who has been watching anime since 4 years old, I see how Shonen mangas work, but Jujutsu Kaisen CHANGED the game of how their characters and story is. I really love that about it that I can write a progress report on how amazing the series is and if deserves the hype. Now, back to this... I guess you can say that I’m not into main guy or main girl getting together because that ALWAYS happen. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense, it’s forced, and it’s unnecessary. Sometimes, I would (and maybe most of you) would like to see a healthy friendship or sibling bond between the main guy and girl. I don’t understand the meaning of putting main guy and main girl; sometimes I feel that people forget that a guy and girl CAN BE bestfriends without adding romance in it.
I lowkey thought Gege Sensei broke that circle, but no, they didn’t. When I was watching the show and reading the first half of the manga (even to the point where Yuji and Nobara were fighting great!) I was like.... “Excuse me.... am I seeing this- are YA’LL seeing this?! Omg finally! No fucking unnecessary romance between this two! Hell yeah give me more sibling power! Thank you Gege Sensei 🥺💕” it was a such a breath fucking air and I’m not talking about fabreeze type of fresh air but just good natural, fresh air. But then the mangaka did a certain 360 or 180 angle and did THAT. When I read that chapter I’m like
I was lowkey hurt because I finally get to see the main guy and main girl not have any romantic! 😭😂 like, if you read the manga you see NO ROMANCE between them, but I have to remember that this is a horror manga and that isn’t the main focus I get that. But when it comes to little detail, like romantic interest, I need to see how it’s developed and I have not seen ANY with Yuji and Nobara.
I guess I really want something like a good friendship that looks like they act like siblings is because Nobara and Yuji’s relationship reminds me a lot of mine and my guy best friend. I even told him about it and he said “fuckkng finally!!”. It hard to find that representation between the main guy and main girl as jsit being friends but somewhere they magically like each other.
I’m sorry for all the complaining 😭 I still love this manga series very much and I can’t wait for what’s next!! It’s gonna be so sad but epic!! We all gonna hold hands and cry because our little sunshine needs a BREAK. But, I just wanted to share a small minor thing, you know 🥺 again, I hope I didn’t offend any of you guys! If you like them, by all means go for it!! Who am I to tell you what to do? I sometimes may come off as aggressive or like blunt by the way I write and express myself so I’ve been working on how to get better at it!

Do you think this is common? The plot of Shonen mangas who have their bestfriend moments (like Naruto & Sasuke's kiss) are implied as comic relief to cater the other fans who like (guys in love) u know its a big trend now esp to fangirls. For me this moments are being followed as romantic by them -that turned to ship them all through out the series.But others went too far to ship them & disregarded the conclusion. I feel bad for the shippers of SS & NH who are always attacked by these extremist.
To be honest, I don’t think those kind of comical moments are done with the intention of catering to fans who tend to like same sex relationships. I think they just add it in for the sake of some light-hearted humour.
It’s like how the vast majority of dick jokes are done between guys. It doesn’t mean they’re gay, it’s just some light hearted male banter :)
