[Taki I really, really want to do a story from Taki's perspective. I once had an opportunity to do it in a side story, but I had to give up trying to make it fit to the number of pages available. I get too greedy when I draw a girl because of the many emotions involved. I want her to be a gentle girl who gets Natsume to smile when she's around, even when he's having a tough time.]

— Notes from Chapter 56, Volume 14.

*sobbing* Midorikawa when are we gonna get this Taki special!!!

She wrote this in volume 14 so it was in 2012..... it's been 12 years and we STILL don't have a Taki special 😭😭😭 If the series end without it I'm gonna be so bitter sdsfsd. I know she said it's because she didn't have enough pages for it and maybe she hasn't gotten the opportunity to draw it since then but it's just so unfair to me that Nishimura & Kitamoto got to have a special but not Taki 🥲

I'm just sooo curious to know what idea she had in mind for a story from Taki's perspective... I wonder if she still want to draw it. And if there's anything she'll change now that we know more things about Taki, like her brother or her connection to Matoba... or her new girl friend from her class (Though I think it's likely her story would have something to do with her grandpa?)

(What she said at the end about Taki being "a gentle girl who make Natsume smiles even when he's having a tough time" is cute though. they're cute.)

Also. We need another Tanuma special too. Especially now that he seems to be given more importance in the plot. I like the Natori specials but there's just so many other characters I wish we'd get focus on/the perspective of... Though I think we'll definitely get a 3rd Teen Natori special at some point too (maybe where we learn how he met Shinobu and what's the deal with that weird vase and stuff?)

AND we need a Matoba special too (I have a theory that maybe instead of a 3rd Teen Natori special where we learn his relationship with Shinobu we get a Teen Matoba special from his POV. Which would be really cool. but we'll see ig.). I think the two characters who need a special the most now are definitely: 1. Taki, and 2. Matoba. And maybe Tanuma. (One of my dreams actually would be to get a Nanase special, specifically one where we learn more about her past similar to what the anime did, but where she's older instead of a child. Like we could see how the Matoba clan was before Seiji's birth and even meet his parents/grandpa and stuff, given they were referenced recently in canon. That'd be so cool but sadly Nanase get very little focus in the manga so idk if it'll ever happen...)

And now I want a Shinobu special too. And a Hiiragi special and a Reiko special and-

The whole of chapter 109 was a gift but this panel, fam, just sends me.

Because by the time Takashi is old enough to go out drinking (20 in Japan), the Fujiwaras will have no legal obligation towards him anymore. But they just. Love him. So much. So of course they'd be like "ah yes when you are an adult you will still be Ours".

I just. I love the Fujiwaras so much okay.

On the one hand the jokes abt yorishima being too much of a grouchy old man shut in to have been with reiko (and be natsume grandpa by extension) are very funny and also true. but also consider, the even funnier possibility: yorishima is a grouchy old man shut in precisely because he got ghosted by reiko like 30+ years ago

this man tried to have a relationship one time and fucked it up so bad he decided to never leave his house again

(tho honestly at this point I mostly just like the yorishima grandpa theory entirely because of how much he would hate it. can you imagine, being yorishima, a grouchy old man living alone in the woods minding your own business when suddenly some mildly annoying aquaintence of yours shows up with some random kid and he turns out to be your grandkid that you didn't even know you had? from that girl you dated that one time who ghosted you entirely out of nowhere? and now you have to be an actual parental/mentor figure to this kid? he'd be so fucking mad, it'd be hilarious)

#tbf I'm still only like. 55% certain on yorishima grandpa. and 45% certain it'll be Just Some Guy #but I cannot fathom why the hell midorikawa introduced him if he's NOT. like why is this old man here he has nothing to do with anything #but is old enough to be grandpa. acted suspicously abt natsume and reiko's names. #AND is introduced in an arc that's a direct continuation of the arc where natsume's grandpa is first brought up #but then there's also other weird things that don't match up #like him barely reacting to natsume in the second yorishima arc. if him being his grandpa was even a possibility he'd be more put off?? #either midorikawa is fucking with us on purpose or he's the grandpa #and tbf after kuromisa it is pretty clear she is willing to fuck with us. so it's anybody's game here #natsuyuu spoilers #probably?

Spoilers of Natsuyuu Ch.128

Not a summary, just something I think interesting.

Spoilers under cut.

Natori-san, you seems happier!

Natsume comes to ask Takuma-san about the drawing of Reiko. I really like to see Takuma-san's Shiki is still here helping housework.

Look at their faces LOL

Sensei: I won't come in if it's not liquor store. Also Sensei after coming in: Wow.

Somehow it reminds me of Mushishi.

Just LOL

He seems very happy when talking about Takuma-san.

BTW, I am considering if I continue posting those spoilers or not.

I know someone start to make summaries which are better than mine (I don't even make English summaries) , and it's always around one a.m. after I finish posting those...

Appreciation Post to Kotaro and Arisa’s friendship bc why not?

Maybe here’s a thought.. I love how in the translated novel I’ve read by ramirei (spoilers ahead and beyond for this now for Heart no Shucho lol), what Kotaro said was what Arisa exactly hoped someone would feel. She wanted her message to reach Karen, but even if it seemed it didn’t to Arisa’s mind, Kotaro never hesitated to tell her it reached him, and that was such a gentle and heartfelt scene to me!! 

Tbh, I believe Kotaro would still do this for Arisa even without Ken telling him. I mean, it’s such a great AriKen story which I LOVE, but Kotaro always showed no hesitation to help her like how he never hesitated to tell her what she’s hoping for, reaching out to her the moment he saw her crying on the rooftop, and handing her a handkerchief when one of their classmates or herself (I don’t know if it was Karen or those in the earlier chapters) spilled something on her materials and Arisa was panicking.

Those who didn’t read the novel don’t know how Arisa went far to even consider to matchmake Koyuki and Natsuki for Kotaro lol (since she realized Koyuki’s a kind soul and thought Yuu’d be fine with his fangirls XD). I know someone thinks that she’s just indebted to him for doing something only her future bf requested (even if I think many would agree Kotaro is not willing to be bossed by anyone, and he dd it bc he knew it was the right thing to do), but I believe Arisa did everything not just out of debt; she genuinely wanted Kotaro, the only friend she had aside from Karen, and the only one who stood by her on those sad times of her life, be happy. 

Paying debt might be a factor at the beginning, but it was genuine friendship nonetheless. Isn’t being determined and genuine in making a person happy and wishing them them the best all throughout your lives considered friendship? Plus, if it was just out of debt, Arisa won’t be the captain of the KotaHina ship like how I believe Haruki co-captains NatsuYuu with Hina (I mean oh boy, Haruki helped Natsuki organized her initial confession lol. His sibling dynamic with Natsuki in the novels are so underrated too). 

Tbh, Arisa rocks being KotaHina’s captain lol. 

--

(haven’t read Daikirai yet since I’m still on MochiAka novel 2, but I just knew there’d be a scene like this, and I love it lol)

--

To conclude this post, I just want to appreciate Kotaro and Arisa’s friendship. I may have never gotten a Kotaro to my Hina, but I deeply appreciate the Kotaros I have in my life to the Arisa in me. Tbh, before Hiyori, Aizo and Yujiro, Arisa and Kotaro showed that male-female friendships could really work without being romantic.  Y’all read Heart no Shucho already if you still haven’t. It’s actually my 3rd fav novel next to Sekoi and Yakimochi no Kotae bc I never expected this friendship would be so wholesome and beautiful to read. I know Hina showed kindness to Arisa and so does Ken in his indirect ways, obviously, (I love AriKen!!) but I feel like many had slipped into their minds that if Kotaro was not present and ready to give her a hand on those times, she probably would have given up before Sena’s words could reach her. Kotaro’s mere presence in her life made her not give up, and that made her so dedicated to give a hand in his times of needs as well.  Her friendship with Karen led to misunderstandings that wouldn’t be cleared until years later in High School, but she found a friend in Kotaro and that’s worth appreciating. Also, I love how Kotaro showed his chaotic side to Arisa on the latter parts of the novel lol. 

It’s also worth noting how right after Hina cried on Koyuki’s departure in middle school, Arisa and Kotaro spent their time together while hoping for a better future.  (like, I always love the chapters before the epilogues lol. It’s the same for Sekoi and Yakimochi no Kotae HAHHA)

y’all, thank you for reading if you survived till the end. I just love them and wanted to share my ramblings to why lol.
