vinland saga 218 broke my heart. i have no clue what is going to happen in the next chapters. all i know is i don’t want thorfinn to cry like that ever again. literally the worst thing i could ever see. thorfinn works so hard and just wants to be happy but is always having to deal with something awful. i feel so sick.

hak has loved yona for YEARS, and now she loves him back just as much. he’s always been so protective of her. always putting aside his own feelings just so yona can live the life she deserves. never in a million years did he think yona could love him back. the two of them have been by each other's side since childhood, and now they’ll love one another for the rest of their lives. their love story is one for the ages <3

finally caught up on vinland saga. this is a masterpiece. thorfinn is one of the greatest characters ever written. overcoming hatred and devoting his life to peace is so beautiful and inspiring. there is genuinely no other character like him I'm so unbelievably attached to this story. thorfinn is so lovely and hardworking. my second favorite character is hwho'sho's storyline is so moving and emotional. her being able to forgive thorfinn after watching him for 4 years was one of the best moments in the series. just so wonderful. i loved watching thorfinn become more gentle as the years went by. i hope he's able to achieve his dream and be happy forever. i love this series so much <3333

this is beautiful

softness carved from pain

my family…

(kofi request) brothers who (try to) carry each other

i have been waiting to get to this moment for such a long time. this panel is so beautiful. thorfinn having a fit of rage after swearing off violence reminded him that this journey he’s taking is difficult. to choose kindness and peace in a world of violence is a challenge. yet all he wishes for is the strength to be gentle.

it takes courage to admit that you let yourself react to your rage, even for just a moment. thorfinn doesn’t see this as an opportunity to unleash his revenge but as a lesson. walking a path of peace isn’t as easy as it seems, especially when his past is constantly causing issues for him in the present. but he takes it as a sign that he has more room to grow.

even though he’s upset with himself, this alone shows how far he’s come on his journey. he can admit he was angry and wishes to be better, and given how driven he is, i know thorfinn will continue to grow kinder because of this moment of anger.

this scene is just so beautiful in every way. the art, the writing, and the character growth. thorfinn is such an amazing character and a testament to changing for the better. i’m just loving him more and more throughout this series, and i’m so glad a character like him exists. <333

i can’t begin to explain how much i love thorfinn. he’s just so kind, hardworking, amazing, incredible, and beautiful!!!!! he's come so far and i'm so proud of him!! from being so defeated to now eager to start his journey is so amazing. he looks so happy and determined to head to greece for a chance at his dream. i just love him so very much!!! <33

finally caught up on witch hat atelier!!! I LOVE COCO AND AGOTT AND RICHEH AND TETIA AND QIFREY AND OLRUGGIO SO MUCH!!!!! i love coco’s relationship with the girls especially agott and how qifrey & olruggio always prioritize the girls’ education & safety. you could feel the love they have for one another!! the beauty of magic and learning, the found family, the whimsical aspects, the dark tragic moments, all of these parts are done SO WELL. THIS MANGA IS JUST PERFECTION!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH <333333

THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AHHHH

new art to promote the “skip to loafer fair” that will happen at sanseido bookstore!!! i’m obsessed with their outfits, they look so adorable 🥰💛

more infos: the fair will happen on three sanseido bookstores (ikebukuro and yurakucho stores in tokyo and the main store in nagoya) and part of the proceeds from the merch will be donated to the noto peninsula earthquake relief fund

thank you imane for the infos 💛!

yona of the dawn does found family so well. every single member of the happy hungry bunch has a connection between the other characters in the group. it isn’t just ONE person who has a deeper connection to everyone but EVERYONE has their own individual connection that we see grow during the manga. they all offer something different to the group that makes the chemistry incredible. they are my favorite depiction of found family across all media. kusanagi wrote these characters so beautifully and put so much care in their familial bond and it makes loving them so easy for me!! HAPPY HUNGRY BUNCH I’LL LOVE YOU FOREVER <3

shoyo’s eyes sparkling whenever he looks at tobio IS CRAZY TO ME!!! ever since that ONE match in middle school, he’s been fascinated with tobio. now that they play together, as a duo, as A TEAM his admiration is totally out of control. i just love how he makes it so clear that tobio IS an amazing player and he isn’t afraid to shout it from the roof tops. just like tobio sees shoyo’s skills, shoyo sees all of tobio’s hard work and is IN AWE!!! SHOYO WAS BEWITCHED MIND BODY AND SOUL FROM DAY ONE!

oh hinata shoyo you are so peak

Hinata Shoyo is the perfect protagonist because he is allowed to be immature, to be selfish, to be childish and whimsical his whole life… all while reminding the audience that nothing is more powerful than bettering yourself. Nothing will get you further in life than self work and Furudate pumped that value into Hinata like steroids into his favorite Pokémon

i just finished vinland saga s2. i actually have no words. this season was one of the best pieces of media i have ever consumed. thorfinn’s arc was so beautifully done, and the characters this season were amazing. thorfinn going from being an empty, defeated man to now taking on the mission to create a haven for those suffering. from being a warrior on the battlefield to a slave to a man working towards peace, was such an amazing journey to watch. thorfinn slowly coming back to life through farming made me so emotional. the animation and writing this season was incredible! i've quickly grown to love thorfinn and i already feel he'll be one of my favorite characters for life.

vinland saga s2 ep8 is so far my favorite episode of the series. so beautiful to see thorfinn finally acknowledge his emptiness, but have people tell him that you CAN find something to live for. that he CAN change. slowly, he's starting to allow himself to feel again. after the first few episodes, which show us how defeated he is, it's so nice to see him upset about what happened to their farm. thorfinn's gradual curiosity about farming and his small attempts at opening himself up have made me so emotional. i can't wait till the day he can smile again <3

i would literally do anything to watch hxh for the first time again. i miss killua and gon so badly i rewatch scenes just to get the feeling back...hunter x hunter is such an amazing series and killugon have become favorites of mine for the long term. i hope we get to see them again soon <3

i just finished watching vinland saga s1 and all i can say is WOW. for starters, this season was so well done; i was hooked from the first episode. the overall theme of war and violence was so well written. as it was stated by askeladd, before it was the danes causing destruction, it was the saxons and others before them. violence is a vicious cycle that, unfortunately, causes its victims, thorfinn in this case, to become just as violent or even more so than their perpetrators.

askeladd's last words perfectly emphasize how lost in revenge thorfinn was. while all the characters in the story move forward to achieve their goals (canute, askeladd, and thorkell), thorfinn is always stuck in his revenge plan. he goes along with whatever askeladd says to have the chance to duel and kill him, but that's all there is. thorfinn has been fixated on revenge for 10 years. everything he has done has been for the sake of killing askeladd. compared to canute who was much like the 6 year old naive, innocent thorfinn, he didn't stay in one place emotionally. after ragnar died, it didn't take long for canute to grow from his loss and search for a purpose in his life. however, thorfinn can not seem to let go. so when canute kills askeladd, all thorfinn can do is scream, beg, cry, and yell. his entire life's purpose is dying in front of him, and there's nothing he can do about it.

the look of despair on his face makes my heart break. despite his hatred for askeladd, the two had a genuine fondness. after all, throughout these 10 years, thorfinn had decided to stick beside askeladd in hopes of completing his revenge. thorfinn's one reason for living, his reason for never going back home, was to kill the man that murdered his father. now he's lost his one true purpose. thorfinn never thought beyond his revenge, almost like he had planned to live that way to the end. who could blame him? he was a child when he started seeking vengeance, and he's still a child now. being able to kill people doesn't change that fact. everything thorfinn has known for the past decade is now gone in the blink of an eye. what else does thorfinn have to live for?

"be a true warrior…son of thors”

this line, in particular, made me so emotional. out of all the last words to have for thorfinn, he chose these ones in particular. it shows the amount of respect he has for thors as a warrior and how he believes in thorfinn's capabilities. under different circumstances, i'm positive that thorfinn could have looked up to askeladd and developed a proper bond.

there's so much room for thorfinn's character to grow. with no sense of direction or purpose, it leaves room for many opportunities to develop his character so much more. although i'm sure there will be many challenges for him, i'm very excited to see where he ends up at the end of next season.

skip and loafer does relationships so well!!!! the development between mitsumi and shima is so beautifully done, but also, mitsumi with her friends and the relationships between the girls is just so realistic and heartwarming, i love it!! everything just happens so organically. takamatsu has taken her time to show shimamitsu's relationship become something more special, but she doesn't let it change the dynamic between their friend groups. we still see yuzu, makoto, and mika's journeys through high school and their friendship become stronger with mitsumi. every relationship, platonic or romantic, is handled with so much care it's so beautiful to see!! it's so sweet to read each chapter and see how far the friendships have grown since the beginning. you could feel the love from the pages!!!! <333

THIS IS AMAZING

Unfinished. Won't finish.

MY BEAUTIFUL GIRLS I LOVE THEM

witch hat atelier does found family so well. i love how it's so easy to see how much qifrey and olruggio care for the girls. it hasn't been long since coco joined the atelier, but she's adjusted so well it's almost like she's been there for years. watching her become closer to agott, richeh, and tetia is so beautiful to see!!! just two girl dads watching their four daughters become the best witches they can be <333

just read chapter 40 of witch hat atelier and my initial reaction was, "what the hell just happened?" but after rereading it, i think i've come to better understand qifrey's motives.

before it happens, qifrey starts to talk about how happy he is teaching the girls magic. he's at peace in his atelier, living and taking care of the four girls alongside olruggio but he still hasn't let go of what happened in his youth. in fact, the peacefulness he feels every day has made his uneasiness worse. now it isn't only just him that could be hurt. it's his precious students and olruggio that he has to lose now. there's much more at stake than there was before.

so while he begins to confess the truth, he doesn't allow olruggio to keep his memories. qifrey's trauma still haunts him even at his happiest. for some people, they would leave the horrible things in the past to enjoy the good they have in the present. but for qifrey it's an impossible thing to do. it would be so much better to have at least ONE person to confide to and have support you, but qifrey doesn't allow it. it's completely irrational and bound to create problems in the future, but it shows how far qifrey is willing to go to achieve his goal. he CHOOSES to look for answers all on his own knowing the path will be difficult.

qifrey is someone the girls look up to; we see him as a cheerful guy who is someone we can count on. but this chapter showed us that he's still that child searching for answers. it doesn't matter how much time has passed or how much wiser or stronger he has become; he can never move on from his past until he stops the brimmed caps' plan.

i wish qifrey acted in some other way or allowed himself to lean on olruggio but it adds more to his character. he's complicated; he has his own agenda, yet his love for the people in his life is undeniable. he will stop at nothing to find answers but won't endanger his loved ones to get them. this chapter was so well done, and i'm excited to see where this takes the story!

thorfinn at 16 is INSANE. he’s become such a force of nature in just ten years that it’s insane to think how he was just a child fending for himself at one point. although i’m amazed at how strong he’s become, it makes me so sad to see how numb he is to everything around him. he’s too young to be so angry and detached from life. i understand he still grieves for his father but i hope he’s able to find peace sooner or later. despite how much he’s changed, at his heart he’s still the same boy who’s mourning his father.

started watching vinland saga and i honestly did not expect to be as hooked as i currently am. 4 episodes into s1 and i already cried, laughed, and got attached to the characters. thors was such an amazing father & became such an incredible person i was so sad to see him die. watching thorfinn go from a naive, happy child, to now being so full of rage made my heart break. i’m scared yet excited to see thorfinn’s journey since i’ve heard SO MANY great things!!!

miss them so bad

seventeen and nineteen

poutyama i am so fond of you…i forget at times how childish he can be but then i remember that he’s literally the baby of his team AND family. he’s just so cutie 😭

finished reading the second pentagram test arc. what a beautiful end to a fantastic arc. i loved getting to know more about richeh! at this point, each of the four girls all have made their personality and desires known which i love! they are all so different and offer something the others don’t have to the story. their differences combined make them stronger together.

we've seen how magic can cause suffering in this arc, but we also know how the young witches have the power to change it or at least make a slight difference. although euini isn't back to normal, there's hope that there is a way to save him. despite how awful magic can be, trusted adults like qifrey & olruggio give them the guidance & care to show the girls the right path.

such a beautiful arc full of character development & story progression, as well as amazing art. it's my favorite arc in wha so far!!

if i start thinking about how karasuno was the best place for tobio and shoyo to become better players i’ll start to cry…they both didn’t know what it meant to be on a TRUE team until they reunited at that gym. that one day in their first year was the beginning of a lifelong partnership that would take them all over the world!!!!!! IT WAS ALL MEANT TO BE!

i started reading witch hat atelier and i’m so happy i did! not only is it absolutely beautiful but the story is so interesting!! currently on volume 3 and i’m more invested every chapter! i love coco & the girls so much along with qifrey! although the overall story is very whimsical and sweet, i love the dark undertones as well. very excited to see what comes next!

this is the best day of my life!! finally have the tobio lookup figure!! HE’S SO CUTE! MY FAVORITE CHARACTER EVERRR!! 🩷🩷
