they're gonna announce an anime adaptation of this once it hits like 50 chapters

fujimotor stop stalling and bring kobeni back already so she can solo the verse

with every chapter that comes out i can see fujimoto slowly losing it

i really want to see cirrus' redemption arc, i want him to grow and heal in the way that we can see skylar starting to. this whole series so far has been showing skylar's development as he is shaped and influenced both negatively and currently positively (yay) by those around him, but unfortunately the same can't be said for cirrus himself. we've seen skylar come out of his shell and slowly start to heal from his trauma by accepting his sexual orientation, but so far from cirrus its kinda just crickets.... i really like their relationship and how they can find so much peace and actual love within each other, but cirrus is just shown to be the one constantly making bad decisions. the only thing that we see from him is why he acts the way he does... but he doesn't change. he doesn't improve. and while we as an audience can empathise with him, i really do hope we can see his character develop and actually change for the better, for both his own sake and skylar's. i don't know how long this whole series is going to be or how far along it is right now but when that redemption arc happens and cirrus stocks go up just know i will be cashing out with a private island in the maldives ready for me

"asa" "reze" "nayuta" WELCOME BACK KOBENI

its actually so genius the way that this manga depicts hephaestion as a split personality of alexander rather than that of what we know their relationship was in reality... i was genuinely gagged when they revealed it. the reveal of alexander's "real" father through having the historical irl portrait of alexander morph into the guy olympia has an affair with was just so well done like i don't think there ever would have been a more perfect execution of that particular revelation. all the characters, even the side characters, have so much depth and complexities to them. also bruh eumenes is so great, he is so refreshing as a main character in the sense that his unique trait, rather than being his strength or his stoicity, is his intelligence instead. that's what makes it genuinely enjoyable to watch him go along his journey, even when he goes through a lot of shit. there is so much love in this story, and i'm not talking about romantic love at all, but instead the sort of love shown in charon's paternal feelings of love for eumenes, the love the village of boa shows eumenes, the love eumenes' mother had for him, and the love he shows the people around him. this manga is one that is quietly intelligent, its rather straightforward plot-wise but the attention lies in the detail and the subtleties of it all. what a great work.... i cant believe it hasn't updated since 2022. and the art being phenomenal too.... like this is a masterpiece and it should be just as popular if not more as vinland saga and kingdom etc

i read the raws and mann this art style for the new season is so weird like dont get me wrong, the author has always been talented no matter what but the way she draws faces has devolved so much i mean like cirrus and skylar both look like crimson chin i was actually scared they were gonna puncture each other's necks while they was making out... why did she have to change it bruh it was perfect before

so it becomes apparent that the hasegawa/tachibana family practises hitobashira, the ritual human sacrifice, and that's why yonghyun's father's gold mine became successful after headless corpses were placed there. now "ao" is obviously a god of some kind and since midori promises that she will free her after becoming the head of the family, i think that the promise was fulfilled through sho - as in ao and sho are the same entity, and midori "freed" them by taking them out of japan. there's some sort of memory manipulation that i think midori is able to practise, and we already see it in the way that she erased sho's memories of itami (which drives both me and yonghyun crazy ). and we already know the goddess ao is able to change their physical form since they are shown with both a male form (the flashbacks) and female form (when she met midori). i think its possible that through changing physical form + using whatever that memory manipulation ability midori has, ao has become sho. this also explains the hasegawa family heirloom that midori allegedly ran away with to korea, the heirloom being ao/sho.

i still don't know what midori wants with yonghyun or why she took him under her patronage (perhaps because he knows too much?), but since jujo thinks she gave him the key, that's where the belief that he will become the successor comes from. obviously that's not the case, although maybe midori IS looking for a successor, just not yonghyun. since the succession tests in japan took place during summer, and the only time yonghyun is allowed to see sho is also in the summer, perhaps its a condition for the entity god to have contact with humans in the summer specifically, as opposed to this being just a test of succession? idk but it feels weird that they would allow a child to visit sho and even go so far as to pay him to continue visiting for no reason.

i feel like there's more to tachibana jujo than just what we've been told so far, i think he is somehow connected to ao/sho in another way other than the fact that midori married him cause her gay ass wanted to be with someone that looks like ao. yonghyun mentioned that it wasn't just his appearance that reminded him of sho, but also his cadence and the way he carried himself, something that can't be pinpointed. jujo also mentioned that the title of "count" comes from his family and not the hasegawas which could also mean something to the story in the future.

i really want to know more about what happened to midori to make her like this, since she was so committed to finding justice for ao yet somewhere along the way she became exactly like the heads of the hasegawa family she despised so much. maybe everyone who gets too close ends up sharing the same will as the first head of the family, the initial one who rescued the "traveller", and this is what keeps them in the cycle of repressing the god and keeping them in bondage.

prayer circle that sho gets his memories and old personality back, his character is kind of pathetic now which hurts knowing how smart and ambitious he was as a child lmaoo i completely get how yonghyun feels in this regard.
