Kags Study From Haikyuu Art Book

ace is such a beautiful character. growing up hearing the world hate his father & hearing how they would harm gol d. roger’s child yet never letting it tear him down makes ace so resilient. he grew up with so much rage & resentment but because of sabo and luffy, he understood what it felt like to have people love you no matter what. all his life, he was wanting to find out if he was worthy of being born. he wanted to become a pirate so he can become something and make a name for himself. despite his self hatred, ace found his way to the whitebeard pirates who made him feel welcomed.

even though ace felt hated by the world, his ability to love was so strong. it takes so much strength to be kind & to love so deeply when all you know is hatred. yet, ace was able to become a captain a few months after sailing the seas. he became a commander with loyal followers. everywhere ace went, there were people who cared about him. ace grew up to be an amazing person who can love & be loved in returned.

in his final moments, ace protects luffy. his little brother, the one who was there with him in his youth, the one person who truly knows ace. even in death, ace chooses to act with love. he was born into the world hated but he died surrounded by people who love him so much. ace was finally able to see his life was worth something. rather than being angry, ace chooses to thank luffy & his crew for loving him. it’s a huge testament to his growth to be full of gratitude in his last moments rather than rage like he once was as a child. it destroyed me watching ace die. he deserved so much more. he deserved to live, to find himself, to grow stronger, to love more.

his character is truly heartbreaking but so beautiful. i will always love ace & miss him so much. <3

hakyona volume cover 24

I think many of us can agree that Kusanagi has made many beautiful covers throughout the years, but one cover that sticks out to me the most is volume 24.

It's so simple, but it highlights Hakyona's development. Hak has always been the one to protect Yona, from protecting her from falling off a cliff to using his super strength to protect her from invaders, and so on. But Yona has also gathered the strength to protect her loved ones. She's no longer the naive princess but now a powerful, independent woman who can not only defend herself but her loved ones too. As Hak is protecting Yona, Yona is protecting Hak.

These two will do anything to save one another. If it means putting them in harm's way, they will bravely put themselves in danger if it means their loved one is safe and sound. This cover is just so well done and beautiful; it makes me so happy!

i missed killugon so much that i went back to the manga to reread some of their moments together, and this scene during greed island is one of my favorites.

i love how childlike they look in the art. it reminds you that even though they have moments where they fight enemies to the death, they are still children at the end of the day. things like friendship are normal to kids, but killua was never able to experience any of it until he met gon.

the way killua’s eyes widen, almost shocked someone thinks of him as a friend and that it’s gon of all people who feel that way. killua is so used to a world with no emotion or joy, and now he gets to spend all his time with his best friend, who ALSO feels the same way towards him.

to gon, being upfront and honest with his feelings is normal. he was raised by his aunt, a very caring woman, and it was easy for that kindness to become a part of gon's personality. it's easy to say that killua is important to him, that killua is someone he can count on no matter what.

for killua, hearing this means the world. a boy isolated from the outside world, taught to be an assassin, tortured, and ignored, is now face to face with someone who cares about him and isn't afraid to say it.

it's such a simple scene on the outside, but these boys have only recently met, and it is almost like fate brought them together. killua and gon have become so close in such a short time, and yet it's hard to imagine a moment when they weren't by each other's side.

this scene brings back so many memories for me. it reminds me of how, as a young kid, you may be embarrassed to tell someone how much they mean to you, so you duck your head, trying to avoid contact while you think to yourself how happy you are.

since i watched hxh, killugon has become such an important duo to me. as individuals, they are incredibly written characters, and watching them become friends was my favorite part of the series. they mean so much to me! every scene they have together makes me so happy, and i hope we are able to see them again soon <3
