i’m reading the chihayafuru manga right now and when i say that the atmosphere is absolutely INSANE..... like its so rich and dense and packed with feeling i’m just [writing envy intensifies]. like the scene from rlly early on when chihaya and taichi are on the train back after their messy meeting with arata and arata bikes with the train for a little bit, calling out to them, because he wanted to see them for just a little longer.... the heat that you can practically feel in the hospital when chihaya’s on the phone talking to arata and realises that she’ll love him and karuta her whole life.... the apartment that the trio used to play in when they were kids, that arata says he imagines every time he plays a match.... bro i cannot do this....
YEEEEEE U PICKED UP CHIHAYAFURU 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 thoughts? 🥺
I LOVE IT I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!!!! ngl i’m trying to get my hands on as many sports/competitions stories as possible to like try and pick up the tools of the trade or whatnot, and chihayafuru’s vibes are so >>>>>> i love how, for the main trio, karuta is so completely intertwined with their feelings for each other that they’re basically one and the same, and the whole mythos of the “queen of karuta” is SO interesting!!!!! 10000/10, would definitely recommend :000
is naruto the Iliad of its time? long as fuck, multiple arcs, war is fucked up, gay love at the emotional center but ppl think they're straight, shitty sequel written by a completely different clown (aeneid = boruto), hot women treated like shit, weird godly deus ex machina at the end, AND tumblr gays r into them even tho it's Been Over For Years
