kny if the Kochos were the main characters
tears in my eyes. they are so beautiful and special.
shima, who at a very young age realized that being kind is the only way to be loved; shima, who looked at kindness as a weapon; shima, who thought that being kind to people meant giving everything until you were empty; shima, who was so scared of not being kind, of not being loved. shima, who met mitsumi whose kindness came as easily as breathing. mitsumi, who showed shima that kindness is gentle and warm and full of love; mitsumi, who looked him in the eye and made him realize that love doesn't come with an ultimatum and it's okay to be nothing and sit around for a while. shima and mitsumi, whose love and kindness save each other in more ways than either one of them can explain.

rewatching the apothecary diaries and it's one of the best series i've ever watched. maomao is so captivating as a main character. her knowledge and skills allow her to help people, even though she says time and time again she wants to lay low. she doesn't want to get involved, yet puts herself in harm's way to solve the problem. jinshi is so interesting as a character. he puts on a persona and hides his true nature so he doesn't have to get involved with the palace politics, yet he has moments where the TRUE jinshi is shown. he has so much at stake, so much responsibility, yet with maomao he's able to forget all of it and be himself. the mysteries, the writing, the tension, the secrets, all of these things make the series so amazing. the plot is so incredible, jinshi and maomao are amazing characters, and their relationship is so beautifully written. every aspect of the apothecary diaries is incredible.
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
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 finished enies lobby arc!!
nico robin has become a favorite character of mine because of this arc! her backstory was so heartbreaking but so well written. i’m so happy she found a place to call home with friends who love her!!!!
the fights were amazing!! luffy using second & third gear was so cool! i loved seeing zoro using new techniques while fighting, he’s just very fun to watch to me! sanji’s fire leg was amazing also!! nami’s lightning technique was also really fun to watch!
seeing them say goodbye to merry made me so sad but i’m so happy they have a new ship along with a new member!! the crew are back together sailing the ocean and i’m excited to see what’s next!
so happy to finally open my shima & mitsumi pop mart figures!!! the best birthday gift ever 🩷
