and his ass is never gonna stand up <///3 thats his man and apparently he's gonna stand beside him
supportive asako (づ￣ ³￣)づ
metaphorically, she just told bro to be gay and proud and i love that even if she cant stand for "hikaru", she understands how much this whole situation means to yoshiki. so as his friend, she's still trying to support him in a way she can. which is a conclusion i like.
when i think about how this is gonna end, i think of what it means for the literal story AND for what it's supposed to mean metephorically. because what the story means metaphorically is about a gay teenager facing the struggles of being gay in a heteronormative world. the people around him tell him how he's supposed to act and be 'normal'. being mixed with 'hikaru' is yoshiki indulging in being gay and clearly supposed to be sexual intimacy. which makes him both scared but it also makes him feel good. which the author states is intentional because often it is when we are either scared or horny that we are the MOST human.
but also the literal story is that yoshiki is with his little eldrich horror monster of a bf that is 'hikaru'. he accepts 'hikaru' because yoshiki reveals in a chapter that he sees himself as a monster because he's gay and had feelings for his best friend. 'hikaru' being there causes literal harm to everyone, yet yoshiki mourning his best friend keeps him around anyways. because he would literally rather die than be apart. he keeps mixing with 'hikaru' and it's making him not normal as in he's almost becoming the spirits from the other side.
so for the ending, it would have to make sense to solve both of these narratively. and it's clear that for yoshiki, 'hikaru' represents being gay and expressing it. And I don't think this manga is gonna end with a whole 'be normal and straight' message, at least I hope so. So I'm going to rule out Yoshiki moving on and getting with a girl to solve his issues. The problem is, because 'hikaru' is metaphorically supposed to be Yoshiki experiencing being gay and having a boyfriend, BUT 'hikaru' IS actively harming the world around them literally. So he does have to be literally be dealt with. But if he goes away, then it's almost like the story is telling us that Yoshiki just shouldn't be gay. BUT this is actively NOT the message the manga is going for.
maybe i'm thinking too much, but I just want to know how this is going to end. TSHD doesn't strike me as a long series and I don't think I'm the only one thinking that it's gonna end soon. At least for me, narrative wise, it kinda seems like we're about to see the end. I just hope it's an ending that makes sense and that I like. yknow a lot of animanga get bad endings, I just hope this ending doesn't make the whole story seem useless like other endings.
I don't even know what kind of ending I want. I mean I want Yoshiki to move on and grieve his first love, his best friend. But I also find his current relationship with 'hikaru' kinda sweet, I'm a monster fucker so I'm already on board with having some monster boyfriend. BUT I also would find it just fine if Yoshiki put 'hikaru' to rest, leave for Tokyo and just find a normal boyfriend. He goes around and struggles, but eventually he finds a man he loves and think it's worth loving again. It's hard being gay and dating BUT it's absolutely possible. Before Hikaru died, it's like Yoshiki thinks he's going to be all alone his whole life because he can't have the man he's always loved. But I think, it would be a great story if Yoshiki is able to move on from his childhood love of Hikaru and then grow up to be in a normal adult relationship.
Holy fucking shit man. I don't think I've ever enjoyed reading a comment this much in my life I think I'll come back just to read this comment again
i really REALLY hope the story doesn’t go to the “suppress yourself” route of yoshiki moving on w a wife and kids THATS ALL I ASK FOR
thanks for enjoying my rambles (づ￣ ³￣)づ
HONESTLYYYY like based on the fact that this author just makes other yaoi series, i'm just ASSUMING that repressing himself is NOT the message. so i'm just holding out for another answer that i might not be seeing lmao
love the irony of how shakky and rock dated and ended terribly because he cheated on her. and compared to how lied and jazz are best friends lmaooo
man shakky and rock would make such a great power couple if you know, he wasn't a serial cheater (〜￣△￣)〜 ngl i was always interested in shakky and rock as side characters because i think lied and jazz have some of the most unique powers in the series, so the fact that they used to date is hilarious
ngl everytime i read this, i always forget that i accidentally read the spin off first and i never find out until i read the end and go 'oh yeah it's that trash ass spin off' bc the spin off is lowkey worse than this lol
which is funny bc i love their artstyle and they do have a banger which is the two top students manga, but their other work on here trash lol
fine shit a little weird and the other might be a trifling ho, but i lowkey fw it ╮(￣▽￣)╭
ngl hopped on the mangaka's twt and i think it's so funny bc they love making phaidei fanart rn and i'm glad bc i'm a phaidei lover and a hardcore hsr player, but at the same time im just like plspslplsplspls give us an update to this （/TДT)/ but also i love their phaidei porn so i'm good either way lowkey...
THATS INSANE WHAY
