Curate, connect, and discover
i really love every interaction between izaya and mikado, but my favorite one is this conversation
vol 11, ch 6
the way izaya kinda sees himself in mikado and understands his words in his own way, the way mikado is trying to stay with those who are important to him and keep his normality and, at the same time, be on the abnormal side
the way izaya is jealous because he couldn't do the same and had to suppress his human side in favor of loving everyone and becoming invulnerable (at least he tries to make himself and others think that he is)
vol 11, ch 6
and the way mikado subconsciously knows how to talk to izaya, the way he doesn't fall for izaya's provocations, just agreeing with him and looking at everything from his own unique point of view
vol 11, ch 6
i love how mikado can turn everything izaya says in his favor
honestly i see so many izaya/mikado parallels, i want to talk about each and every of them
