Anime/mangalist: the hearts that break; the lessons it makes

All that I put here are more of a personal list; stories that speaks of life lessons to the heart. Stories that speak of learning from pain and all that life gives you. Stories that hurt but confront you; stories that break you and mend you. These are the stories I feel are still deserving of love, even after many years have past, just as some are relevant tales that's worth sharing nevertheless. All that I list are stories I think prove that stories can change your life; its just a matter of understanding its meaning. Some of these titles fall into the mature category, so do understand much of these titles have trigger warnings, so please research them properly before you jump straight in:

LIFE MANGA OMNIBUS WHEN??

Okay, y'all! Real quick! So I was on the Barnes & Noble website looking for new books to read (and possibly review) and decided to look for Keiko Suenobu's "Life" manga. Turns out that three volumes of the manga had been published as E-books and I got excited!

See? I wasn't lying!

I haven't read this manga since my sophomore year in High School! I've been wanting to read it again for the first time in years. Like OMNIBUS WHEN??? I can't wait 'till the physical copies are back in print again. I felt so bad for Ayumu. From Losing her best friend because she was able to make it to the next grade instead of her (Shii-chan), to being severely bullied, stalked, sexually assaulted, harassed, etc. by Manami and her crew. And the school was being neglectful about it because they were afraid to lose their jobs and reputation and all that jazz. Manami was deranged as hell! Her and her Masochistic, Misogynist boyfriend. If Satan was a female, it'd definitely be her. Manami was giving the other students (and teachers) hell while her boyfriend had a whole ass scrapbook of "slaves" full of revenge porn he'd use against his victims if they didn't do what he said. What in the Spur Posse is goings on here???

Anyways, I hope the physical copies of this manga will be republished so I can review them and you're gonna suffer with me!

i personally believe chuuya simply DIY-ed a makeshift leg cast with the stuff he found in prison but ended up bridal carrying dazai out anyways because they wouldn't have made it in time at that pace

Kodansha USA Publishing announced on Wednesday that it will publish Keiko Suenobu's Life and Life 2: Giver/Taker manga digitally in March. The company will launch Life on March 7, and it describes the story:

All Ayumu dreams of is making it into the same high school as her best friend. But when she gets in and her friend doesn't, their friendship crumbles—sending Ayumu spiraling into depression. She finds relief in cutting herself, but soon realizes that her scars may interfere with her budding high school life. Can she trust her new friend, Manami, who seems too good to be true? Or will Ayumu's apparent lack of compassion and understanding get her tossed aside like she was before? And is there anyone else out there who could possibly love her for who she is? A melancholy coming-of-age story by Keiko Suenobu!

The 20-volume Life manga ran in Kodansha's Bessatsu Friend magazine from 2002-2009, and it won the Kodansha Manga Award in the shōjo category in 2006. Tokyopop published nine volumes of the series before it shut down its North American publishing division in 2011. The manga inspired a live-action television series in 2007.

Kodansha USA will publish Life 2: Giver/Taker on March 14, and it describes the story:

When the charming young boy who moves next door turns out to be a psychopath who murders her little sister, Itsuki vows to fight the injustice that allowed him a second chance at life while her sister lies dead. Blaming herself for what happened, she becomes a stone-cold cop who fears nothing to prevent others from living through a similar tragedy. But six years later, on the very same day the killer is finally set free, she finds a chilling letter in her mailbox threatening to once again steal what's most important to her. And though she wants nothing more than to make him pay for her sister's life that he stole, she'll have to watch her back now that there's a killer on the loose.

Suenobu launched the Life 2: Giver/Taker manga in Kodansha's Afternoon magazine in June 2016, and ended it in October 2018. Kodansha published six compiled book volumes for the manga. The manga inspired a live-action show adaptation in January.

So when I found out about the show 'The Glory' everything about it, from premise to the nature of its bullying got me thinking back to another manga title: "LIFE"

Trigger Warning: Anecdotes of Bullying, mentions of assault, SA and SI.

How many people remembered this manga when Tokyopop was at its hayday?

Back when manga was still new to me at 14, I remembered borrowing Fruits Basket volumes and would sometimes see this image as a manga advertisement. All the while, it gave a clear warning it was rated r18+ due to its violence and heavily mature themes. It took me 3 years later to finally get access into reading it. and what I saw both horrified me, and opened up wounds I never thought I had until I read it.

This panel specifically. The moment I realised I was bullied was when the heroine Ayumu had bravely said to her bullies that she would rather be alone than to suffer under these girls' torments.

The story of LIFE contrary to The Glory, was about a girl Ayumu who was estranged from her friend in middle school and went through a point of her grief that led her to self-harming herself. After the estrangement, she had found herself starting anew in her high school, and found herself befriending another girl Manami and hoped to live through her high school years without failure. That was until Manami's crush assaulted Ayumu, creating a horrifying misunderstanding which led Manami brutally bullying Ayumu with every opportunity she gets. From drugs to assault, from self-harm to brutal violence; everything about this manga felt like a survivor's story of how someone who lived through it all.

Everything about this manga, from its beginning to end was one of the hardest stories I've ever read. down to the finish line, some plot threads presented didn't feel as conclusive as any reader may have hoped. But, that was the point of the manga. The title itself, 'LIFE' was intentional, as it felt like the author's cry to the readers to see life in its cruelty, just as she tries her best to aspire hope to those who fell victim to bullying.

I must confess, that now that I am older, the memories of my own psychological scars feels more painful now than it did almost an entire decade ago. Even just the first 20 minutes of the Glory's first episode was already reopening those wounds for me that I couldn't bring myself to even continue it. From the physical scars to the scars unseen, a part of me felt angry to hear the opinion that bullying depicted in these stories are an exaggeration.

Stories like 'the glory' and 'LIFE' are far from an exaggeration when it came to bullying in East Asia or even South East Asia. There was a reason I've come to hate the memories I had from my birth country. And much of the cultures that exhibit such violent behaviours are just the tip of the iceberg. I've seen my brother held down as he was getting kicked by boys who were twice his height. My sister was bullied by boys as a child to the point she hated men for almost all of her entire primary years. I've seen the girl whom I once 'idolized' as my friend corner another girl just because she didn't like her habit of apologising. Throw her bag to the ground and scatter her notes just to prove a point that the girl needed to 'fix' herself. And like an idiot that I was, I earnestly believed I was the one in the wrong for being rejected by my bullying friend just because I kept saying sorry. That girl was the start to my suicidal ideation and to this day, I could never forget the day she mocked my tears as she continued to torment me.

Everything about what is depicted in both the Glory and LIFE may be seen as an exaggeration. Now to be fair, I'll give these perspectives the benefit of the doubt, because all who make such light claims must've come from a place where they haven't experienced the same horrors that the characters depicted have gone through. But that's not to say their struggles are lesser. It's only that it does bite at me when people make this matter lighter than what it actually is.

After I had discovered the real-life counterpart that inspired 'the glory' in the first place, my heart breaks at the confirmation. And it is true that more times, life imitates art, its stories like LIFE and the Glory that proves that art truly does imitate life.

All of this now said, to those who had suffered under such scrutiny, harm and violence altogether. To those who had endured such cruel experiences of being bullied. Hold onto hope. As harsh and as cruel as it is, for as long as you live, you can still find it. You can still find the strength to hold on. Maybe these words come off as hollow, but as I write this, I'm telling myself the same words everyday. There is always a way to get back on your feet for as long as you live. It's just the matter of building up the courage to find strength to stem that tide.

thinking about gojo asking you if you think you would be together in your other lifetimes and you say yes. and you are — he’s a model and you’re his photographer, he’s a prince and you’re his knight, he’s your actor husband and you’re his singer wife, and he’s your target and you’re his assassin—

and you are together in every life — one way or another — but in this life, you part, as you watch him fall to Sukuna.

and you wait for the next life, where you can finally be together.
