the world will not be truly free and equal until modes of art like manga and musicals are completely accessible and I Am Not Joking
#shut up az#on average a shounen/seinin manga will be about $150 to own the ebook series#and like yeah you can pirate but then there's other ethical issues#and thats only available if you have a phone/laptop/tablet#physical its going to be even more#manga is such an expensive hobby compared to anime#and then Broadway shows can be equally expensive to see unless you already live in New York#like its insane to me that we have entire mediums of art that you have to either be rich or commit crimes to experience#like on one hand I really respect stage actors especially those who reject hollywood for celeb culture#on the other hand how much of that rejection is because poor people can be involved#also there is literally a fucking hierarchy of anime fans where ppl who have read the manga lord it over everyone else like#do I look like I have 300 dollars.... bruh#and it sucks bc they're right those things are usually better#manga is usually better paced#and stage shows will always be more fun to me than movies#but like.......... is it better enough to be like 100x the cost

Another bucchigiritheory, specifically about that Ending.
Why is Mahoro Jin the main character of the ending?
So far the show has been about a bunch of delinquent dudes and physical combat that is for sure being set up to center the, uh, battle bonds of seinin protagonists. Okay let’s be fr it’s gonna be gay or at least veil it thinner than a Trojan bare skin raw condom—this just seems to be the way director Hiroko Utsumi operates.
Right so, Mahoro as the main focus of the ending. I take the ending sequence to be a look at her mindset! In the show she is stated to be the recipient of a ton of male attention, so much so that she developed a sort of strategy to flirt with guys as a way of getting her brother’s attention (BUT WE DONT HAVE TIME TO GET INTO ALL OF THAT)
The ending, if it’s from her perspective she would obviously view herself as the main character. So then what follows might mean that she feels like all she needs to do is stand around or make a little hand heart to knock a guy, ANY guy (except her bother but—oh look at the time) on their ass. Although it’s quite boring and meaningless for her she does at least have the satisfaction of having men under her thumb. Or so just assumes so.
(Oh in this gif— note how the guys are positioned They could be looking at Mahoro…or they could be looking across at each other. )
I’m excited to see more of her and how she works. Definitely not the most likable character by episode 2 but then neither is Arajin 🫢 excited to see how they both develop~
Or maybe this is more evidence of the straight bait lol whatever I support women’ rights and women’s wrongs
#Mahoro#but that’s just a theory…a bucchitheory#idk I like her more than Arajin and the ending is a hit for me#bucchigiri

So, if you asked to write your top 5 (or top 3) fav characters each from Yuumori and Jeweler Richard, what genre will you put them (or you agree that they should be in shounen & josei)....
Yuumori is definitely shonen, although it's kind of on the line toward seinin and kind of is a crossover in that aspect, and JR is definitely josei. The JR novels are a little hard, because they don't have remotely a good genre equivalent in the Anglosphere. They get called "mystery" but they're really not remotely mystery novels at all.
Fave characters!
JR:
Richard. My beloved.
Seigi. My dumbass himbo.
Tanimoto. My aroace queen.
Saul. My tired grumpy Dad.
Vince. My weirdo weeb tsundere.
YuuMori:
William. My beloved wet cat angry traumatized drama king.
Sherlock. My silly little feral gremlin freak.
Louis. My most practical sensible son.
Herder. My most endearing little freak.
Bond. My little gender queer shit stirrer.

Impressions on Jujutsu Kaisen S1-S2
(In no particular order)
(Because I felt like it)
So I got up to date on the anime Jujutsu Kaisen, mostly for lack of something to watch, and found it interesting. Partially because of its popularity (#1 on Crunchyroll in Dec. 2023). S2 is just about complete at this time and as others have remarked, there's a pretty big tone shift between S1 and S2.
As someone who spent their teen and college years enjoying Shounen series like Naruto and Bleach, who used to be much deeper into anime from about 2000-2010, it's interesting to see the way the Shounen genre has "evolved" from what I knew when I was more a part of the teen/early 20s target audience.
(Cut for spoilers beyond this point.)
First of all, it might even be a misnomer to call JJK purely shounen. The tone shift in S2 takes it to some pretty violent places. Places that seem in excess of, say, Naruto's peak violence. That said, I'm not entirely sure JJK deserves the genre of "seinin" exactly, because its plot structure is still pretty grounded in Shounen action/adventure.
Thing is, for all of the increase in violence, I'm not sure the issues the show actually deals with earn it the "seinin" or more "adult" designation just yet. JJK, so far at least, to me seems to struggle with being "about" something more than its premise. For example, the magical powers gained by the girls in Puella Magi Madoka Magica are at least a little bit about the struggles of being a young woman, about growing up, about grief and loss and love. A magical girl "becoming" a witch plays into a larger theme of loss of innocence.
At least as of the end of S2, JJK doesn't exactly have a thing that being a jujutsu sorcerer is actually "about". It's not really a coming of age parallel. It's not really about coming to terms with death (though a lot of death happens). It's still very much about the big fights that are happening. Absorbing Sukuna for Yuji Itadori isn't a metaphor or even lending to a metaphor for anything else except absorbing Sukuna.
This is totally fine by the way! Not everything needs to be "about" something bigger. But, for me at least, the "not being about something bigger" is what's keeping JJK at an A- instead of an A+.
JJK is also strangely lacking in worldbuilding. And I say strangely because it almost feels like it skips the worldbuilding because it's derivatively leaning on the worldbuilding done by other shounen anime. Like, "We don't need to explain how people can randomly jump from tree to tree or hover in the air while fighting, because Naruto already did that. You don't really want us to stop the narrative to explain how Yuji leveled up all these basic magical fighting abilities, right? So don't worry about how he can suddenly do all this stuff."
Literally, Yuji will gain an ability like Black Flash within the course of a single battle. In Bleach or Inuyasha, gaining that sort of ability would take an entire arc and lots of trial and error. So I have mixed feelings about JJK kind of just skipping him struggling to learn Black Flash for any length of time because yeah, that beat can get kind of tiresome in anime. We know they're going to learn the ability, so it's just dragging the process out to make it an entire arc.
But on the other hand, making the gaining of a new ability into an arc lends a certain gravity to the story. A sense of stakes and achievement. Yuji never really struggles to learn any new ability. He picks them up in the course of any given battle (or Sukuna drops in and bails him out).
So in a way, JJK is innovating on the Shounen genre by just skipping a lot of the base level fighting ability arcs and challenges, in order to cut straight through the biggest, most epic battles. There is no little kid level ninja school, our Naruto is fighting Orochimaru-level threats in the middle of S1.
Now, the way the story also innovates on throwing endgame level threats at the hero right away, instead of a bunch of trash to slowly build them up, is by having the bad guys not die in the fight. Bad guys often escape the battle to fight another day. Yes, trash battles happen, but endgame level villains are taking part with surprising regularity for the genre. Aizen from Bleach wasn't showing up for every side character battle that Ichigo fought against him in the lead up to their confrontations. And characters who were defeated didn't really show up again as antagonists, at least not in the Soul Society or Hueco Mondo arcs. They either became allies or they died. So JJK is different in this regard, in a way that's rather refreshing actually.
Now, to go back to worldbuilding, JJK was interesting to me because it started out very authoritative about its genre. It was very paint by numbers standard shounen but so confidently executed that it didn't feel boring. We had lots of shounen genre cliches, like the plucky protagonist with tons of power potential, his dark haired team member who is brooding, the secretly powerful goofy teacher, etc.
But how the JJK universe fits into our world is strangely lacking. Part of it feels purposeful. It's very laser focused on moving the story along. It doesn't really care to answer questions like, "How are these people getting paid?" and "Why is a school tasked with saving the world?" Like, it's basically X-Men rules, so it's fine.
But by contrast, Naruto's ninja villages were an entire ecosystem, we knew how ninjas fit into society and why everyone was doing what they did. We know how Bleach's Soul Society fits into the fabric of the universe. We know how My Hero Academia's world views heroes, a ton of My Hero time is poured into explaining how this world works. JJK... doesn't really bother to say how the world works outside of how it impacts the characters in this moment. It's the thing I find most curiously lacking of all it, and I'm just not quite sure what to make of it.
A few other random thoughts: JJK is fairly refreshing in that it's not totally reductive anime nonsense with regards to women, like having tons of panty shots or whatever. Men still tend to be the most powerful, and it's still a pretty shounen-standard ratio of 2 plot-relevant guys for every 1 woman. But it does view women as people for the most part, so I appreciate that.
But JJK does have some anime nonsense in the sense of people just randomly going "over 9000" with their ability or pulling abilities that no one knew about before that moment out of their ass. I think the show is at its best when it plants its foreshadowing a liiittle further in advance, like when Mahito accidently "touched" Sukuna in that first fight. Everything we needed to know to realize what was going to happen was seeded in advance, and it was a crowning moment of awesome as a result. But besides moments like that, there's a LOT of "Well that didn't work, because I have this secret ability that I'm going to reveal and explain right now!" It's a bit like watching little kids play with action figures in that respect of just randomly having the right tool at the right time.
That said, that sort of "little did you know, I had this secret weapon that easily defeats you that I'm just revealing now!" seems in general more accepted in Japanese storytelling, whereas in Western storytelling the "rule" is more that you need to seed Checkov's gun a lot sooner before you can use it. You can't pull the gun off the mantlepiece to use at the same time you reveal it, it feels cheap. But, since there is a cultural divide between me and the writer, I'm just going to note it as something that pinged me, rather than saying it's good or bad as such. I like foreshadowing that's done further in advance, but that could be a culturally-based preference on my part.
I'm curious where JJK will go next. The violence escalation makes me think either it's going to continue to escalate, or there will be an endgame option to undo all the damage by some magical means at a later date. I'm more than 70/30 thinking it's just going to continue to escalate, but we'll see!

At first, I thought I liked Dazai Osamu as a character because he was a complex and morally grey individual, but maybe.. just maybe. Who am I kidding, I was probably projecting. If you don't feel called out right yet, then maybe the wise words of Asagari-sensi will open up your eyes.
Here is a prephrased verison I came up with one of the interviews he gave: "Bungo Stray Dogs is a story for people who are not good at living. In this world, there are people who are so good at living that they do not even need a story at all. It is for those who need it like the 'lost ones' Dazai talked about. The oxygen that is necessary for life, the stories for them to come to so that they could get through their day." (translation available @popppretty on Twitter)
And to that, I say main demographic: Who? It's no wonder it's under Seinin. It's for us folks who struggle at life unironically like the real-life authors themselves. Maybe BSD isn't fully a fan-fiction of authors and their literary works. Maybe... it's just what it means to be human. (and no, i'm not trying to add a 'no longer human' pun here. Asagari has a history of not correlating the authors real-life bio to ones in BSD, so I thought I'll just point it out. Not that it's bad by any means, but inspirations can differ by case by case basis, so it's important to remember that even the most controversial characters in the same universe do have their own inner demons which conflicts to their real life counterpart)
#bsd#bsd drabble#nightly rambles#it's not wonder there's not a therapy arc to be seen from miles on from here#like them we probably can't afford it

so i found out that one of my favorite niche manga has gotten a reboot in this year of 2022 and i am already prepared to hear antis screaming about it. ( it's bastard!! btw and it's hysterical. )
why would antis be screaming about it? because our anti-hero protagonist was raised in a reincarnated body as the adopted brother of his love interest and oh btw he raised a half-elf girl that also became his lover prior to his latest death ( he's died like five times iirc? ) and i am over here going "ah yes, the antis are going to go up in flames over this."
and like, the really, REALLY funny thing about it is that there is no way for antis to spin it in any way beyond psuedo-incest and age differences or anything else. is it bad that i'm ready with popcorn to watch them try and find some way to "redeem" this series? like, this series is very much a shonen/seinin series that verges on hentai repeatedly.
anyways, i just wanted to poke my head in here and say that i am expecting antis to be howling down the moon about this one and i won't be surprised if you start getting people commenting about this series and antis.

maybe someday I’ll revisit skirt knights (working title)
it was going to be a comic about a group of teenagers who find cursed armor that turns them into beasts and then are subsequently demonized by and driven out of society
they eventually learn that they can return to a humanoid shape- the armor, of course- they just can’t take the armor off or they’ll die.
(They learn this when one of their friends begins turning and then rips their helmet off, resulting in a scene kind of like in Indiana Jones where they just rapidly waste away until they’re nothing but dust and armor. Them leaving the set behind in shock becomes plot-relevant much later on.)
it’s.... sort of a mix of mahou shojo & seinin thematically, and tonally it starts out really upbeat but gets pretty dark pretty fast considering Kids Die.
BUT the reason it was called skirt knights was mostly because I wanted their designs to be combos of historically-inspired armor & fashion. this would vary between the characters and beasts and all that. the designs of the characters would reflect the armor and beast they’ll wear/become, I just think that’s cool.
*magical girl transformation but then all my joints start crunching and my bones grotesquely shift under my skin as it dawns on you something terrible is taking place*

Parken kann so einfach sein
In der beliebten Reihe über die Zukunft des Parkens habe ich noch eine Variante beizutragen. Die Nachbarstadt versteht sich als Autostadt und hat daher als mehr oder weniger einzig praktisch genutzte Funktion ihrer digitalen Bürgerkarte einen Parkausweis für alle City-Parkhäuser implementiert. Bürgerkarte ist nicht der richtige Begriff, weil nicht die Stadt sie an alle Bürgerinnen und Bürger ausgibt, sondern eine Stadttochter auf Antrag an jede und jeden und sie eher eine Art Bonuskarte des lokalen Handels ist. Sie nennen es daher auch recht passend Stadtschlüssel. Mit dieser Karte entfällt tatsächlich in den ungefähr sechs Parkhäusern rund um die kleine Einkaufscity die Abrechnung mit Tickets ziehen, bezahlen und am Ausgang damit die Schranke wieder freigeben. Und als Bonus kann man die Karte in den teilnehmenden Geschäften als Bonuskarte nutzen und damit Parkguthaben sammeln. Da man anders als in der Metropole nebenan mit 50 Cent pro Stunde ohnehin einen vergleichsweise sehr geringen Betrag bezahlt, ist das aber eigentlich sowieso alles recht albern und ich frage mich, ob man da nicht eine andere Lösung für finden kann?
Technisch ist das eine Transponderkarte, die von gut sichtbaren Antennen an den Schranken ausgelesen wird und dann wird die Parkzeit dem Parkkonto zugerechnet und am Ende des Monats wird dann alles gemeinsam abgebucht, also bei mir irgendwas zwischen besagten 50 Cent und wenigen Euro. Die Karte steckt bei uns in der Sonnenblende, die zum Auslesen nach vorne zu klappen ist und weil man immer eine Schrecksekunde der Nichtreaktion vor der Schranke steht, nehme ich die Karte meistens doch heraus und halte sie gut sichtbar an die Scheibe. Nötig ist das aber nicht, man muss bloß die Zeit des Nichtstuns während des Auslesens aushalten. Insgesamt ist es für mich dennoch ein erhabener Moment, einfach ein- und ausfahren zu können und vor allem nicht an dem einen Parkautomaten anstehen zu müssen, um dann mal wieder kein Kleingeld griffbereit zu haben. Zudem ist angenehm, dass es einen über alle Parkhäuser einheitlichen Tarif gibt.
In meiner Stadt ist das neuerdings nach bzw. während eines umfangreichen Umbaus der beiden benachbarten City-Einkaufszentren durch die Stadt selber etwas einfacher gelöst worden: Man kann einfach wie bisher drei Stunden kostenfrei parken, aber dann ohne Schranke, sondern trivial einfach und ganz oldschool mit einer Parkscheibe. So einfach kann das gehen und ich frage mich, wieso man statt technisch und organisatorisch aufwendig erhobener symbolischer Park-Schutzgebühren nicht einfach auch anderswo auf diese sehr simple Methode zurückgreift?
Sei es drum, bei uns reisen auch alle Bürgerinnen und Bürger der Stadt problemlos und kostenfrei mit dicht getakteten Bussen bis direkt vor den Eingang an, anstatt tagsüber bis zu einer Stunde auf einen überteuerten Bus zu warten, der dafür aber auch nur bis 9 Uhr am Abend fährt. Ich zweifle scharf an, dass das Selbstverständnis als Autostadt im Jahr 2022 noch zeitgemäß ist, aber ich wohne da ja auch nicht.
Nachtrag 05.04.2023: Mit dem Stadtschlüssel geht es wegen angeblich veralteter Technik nicht mehr weiter und dafür ist bei uns ist Zukunft ausgebrochen: 05.04.2023: Neues aus dem Speckgürtel

im SO glad you got me hooked on skip&loafer its such a cute manga!!! its been so long since ive read a good manga like this❤️😭❤️
OMG ISN'T IT!!!??? Literally like how can a manga feel like a big hug and a warm bowl of soup and then punch you in the fucking face like that?! I'm happy I could've gotten you to look into it cause god it's definetly sooo worth the read lol
If you want something to tide you over till the next update, its not like AS emotionally heavy as StL but more so a solid enjoyable lovely lil romance with a lot of like very tangible moments of intimacy, but I'd recommend A Sign of Affection if you want something to kill time with too! I like that it's a romance about college students instead of kids and centers a HoH lead whilst being incredibly respectful and centering of her disability without making her JUST her disability. The mangakas did a lot of research and consultation with HoH communities in Japan and it shows.
Have you read/started Witch Hat Atelier yet as well? Cause I think it's the best fantasy/seinin out right now and I think you'd appreciate the spectacular art on top of the great writing. Yugami-Kun Has No Friends is also a really good slice of life/comedy; Yugami is both a giant mood and a lot of laughs lol hope you find something else you'll love here!!! 💚💖💚💖
