#akitos stupid no good very bad crush

Ena would find out about Akito"s crush on Tsukasa in the worst way possible and be a menace (supportive) about it, which would kill him I think
oh noooooo, youre so right. she teases him a little, but shes actually being very nice and supportive and wants to know more about him and encourages akito to talk to him. which of course, his reaction to that is Absolutely Not.
the one good thing is that after that side story where akitos teaching toya and tsukasa a dance and tsukasa picks it up ridiculously fast, she pats his head as he moans into his mattress about "why did he have to be good at dancing too"
the day she finds out the guy she watched akito carry in the race during the sports festival was actually tsukasa, akitos about ready to fling himself out the window. she asks if he enjoyed being his knight in shining armour, and akitos like no he was fucking annoying the whole time
now, while she would certainly find tsukasa annoying at first, i also believe in enakasa older sibling besties. and here, when she meets him, its with "this is the guy my brother likes" goggles on. so, while she now deeply understands how obnoxious and annoying he is like akito says, she can also see how nice he is, and most importantly, that akitos annoyance is completely one sided. she thinks this is the funniest thing ever. all of her previously scheduled "oh my god he really is like that" commiserating with akito gets swiftly replaced with "why are you so mean to him youre his 'beloved underclassman~' " and akito has a new reason to want to put himself in the ground

✦ YOUR LOVE IS WHAT I REQUIRE - AKITO SHINONOME X READER
Tumblr media
(FOR MY POOKIE @noverenia)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
✧ - You and Akito were very close friends, very close. So people would assume if you’re dating him, the two of you obviously got embarrassed, and denied these rumors.. However.. You did have a crush on him, he was attractive and really nice, but people think he’s bad, but they don’t see how he’s with you.
✧ - Despite being close friends, you sometimes argue a bit, but then obviously laughing the next minute. But this time.. It wasn’t a laughing matter. Akito was overworking again, Akito’s legs were shaky, his arms were shaky and he even had eye-bags drooping down. You obviously couldn’t keep quiet, Akito could possibly pass out..! Or even worse..
✧ - “Hey Akito…? Don’t you think you should take a break? You look so exhausted—” He instantly cut you off, as he turned around and looked at you with a pissed off face. “Why don’t you fucking take a break and leave me alone?! Why are you annoying all the time?!” He said with a angry tone, he’s never snapped at you like that. Beside you were just helping him.. Why is he getting so bitchy for?
✧ - You weren’t going to stay quiet, you just wanted to help. “What?! I’m just worried for you! Look at the state of you! You look like you might pass out..!” You snapped at him back, if he’s giving a bad energy why not give it back?
✧ - “Hah?! What do you mean, i’m perfectly fine! If you should be worrying about anyones state, you should look at yourself!” He said whilst pointing at you, his tone started to get more angrier.
✧ - Before you could say anything, he cut you off, again. “Jeez, you’re such a fucking prick, just leave me the fuck alone! You’re just a ordinary vocalist, so obviously you wouldn’t understand! Fuck off.” This instantly made you.. shocked. You were just a ordinary singer…? Does that mean you weren’t trying hard enough.. “Bye, i’m off. Don’t follow me. Just go back home.” He left, leaving you shocked, you didn’t want to cry in front of him, you’d feel like a crybaby.. But the words ‘ORDINARY VOCALIST’ kept ringing in your head. You felt like you should try more harder.. right?
✧ - You thought he would talk to you the next day. Nope. He glanced at you then rolled his eyes. It really caught you off-guard. You knew him since childhood, surely he’d talk to you eventually.. right..? The next few days, nothing. No text messages, no calls, not even a single eye contact, it goes worse when An and Toya notices.
✧ - “[Reader?] Did something happen between you and Akito?” An said whilst peeping behind whilst you were sitting on a bench, you just sighed heavily. “Yeah.. He hates me now.. I’m so stupid and talentless..” You said whilst looking down at the ground, trying to hold back your tears, but the more you thought about it.. it hurt. “W-what? What do you mean..?” An looked at you as she sat down next to you. You told her everything about the argument and she looked at you with shocked. “..That Akito!” She grumbled beneath her breath. You told her it was fine, but was it..?
✧ - There was a tree that you and Akito would always visit together on a friday. You had the urge just go and cry there, after all, you doubted that he’d be there anyways. You sat there, tearing up. Why were you missing Akito so much? Then a ringing noise came into your head. ‘ORDINARY VOCALIST’. You wiped your tears and got up and headed to Vivid Street to practice, you can’t be ordinary you have to be the best.. right?
✧ - You started to practice everyday, you didn’t care if you got ill. You can’t live under the name of a ‘ORDINARY VOCALIST’. As soon as school finished. Straight to Vivid Street. Akito noticed this, but he didn’t say anything. Why should he anyways..? You felt intimidated to even look at him in the eyes. You were obviously still missing him.. You were so insecure about not being a good enough vocalist, ordinary is just not good enough in other people’s eyes.
✧ - “Hey.. [Reader]? Don’t you think you should take a rest..?” An said putting her hand on your shoulder. This frightened you but when you looked up, you sighed with relief. “I’m good…” You smiled weakly at her. You obviously needed rest, you looked like you were faint out of exhaustion.
✧ - It was friday again, time to go to your comfort place, you sat down on one side of the tree, you start to tear up again. “W-why am I still crying..?! I should be over him..” You cried into your knees, wiping your tears with your sleeves. You then felt a tall figure hovering over you, you noticed the shadow and looked up to see..
✧ - “Akito..?” “..Hey.”
✧ - Your heart dropped, you instantly got up. “My bad, i’ll leave—” Before you could go, Akito grabbed your hand and pulled you into a hug. “No, you’re not going anywhere.” Akito said as he slightly tighten his embrace. You were shocked, you didn’t know what to do. “I’ve missed you too, a lot actually.. I’m sorry that i’ve been acting like a ass lately. I really didn’t mean to. I just got caught off-guard and my anger went towards you, I never and WILL never mean that to you.. because…” He didn’t finish his sentence off, leaving you confused, but you were so happy, you felt like tearing up with happiness…? “…Because?” You thought to yourself.
✧ - “..I love you, you idiot…” “I pray for all your love, just seeing you smile lifts my feelings up, I love your smile, I love your slightest touch, I even love your silly personality. You always do your best, and you always worry for me, even when i’m okay. I love you. I love you a lot.”
✧ - This made you gasped, and he chuckled at your reaction. He then pulled away from the hug, he noticed your tears, he wiped them with thumbs, and then leaning his forehead against yours. “And you’re not a ordinary vocalist.. I said that with anger, I.. I actually love your singing, it gives me a shaky feeling..” “..Please, I know you’re exhausted.. Stop overworking.. ‘kay?”
✧ - He then leaned in and gave a soft kiss on your lips, before pulling away, blushing.
✧ - “…But” “No buts, i’ll also take a rest with you.” He puts a finger on your lips. “Lets head to my place and rest for a while yeah?” You nodded softening your gaze at him, which he does as well.
✧ - “I love you. I’m sorry I couldn’t say that sooner…” He thought to himself, whilst admiring you.

Fruits Basket Manga Review , ch 109
-The Tragedy of a an episodic format attempting to connect narrative in a series: (Tohru’s Background or Kyo’s Focus?)
One of my issues with se03, ep6 (other than it being 3 chapters combined horribly with new material added for shock value) is that it was weakly undecided who would be the focus? who would the narrative follow?: Is it tohru’s own pov abt herself? is it the gramps giving boring exposition abt tohru over weak still images of flashbacks or is kyo thinking abt tohru’s pain?
The truth is, it was all the above in the manga, but the manga gave each a chapter focus so that the chapter is well-directed with focused narrative. The anime weakly jumbled the 3 chapters together as they always do. You mix chapters & tada~ you got an ep, you only need a broad weak theme that connects the dots! here: it is tohru! & that’s it. As long as the 3 chapters discuss tohru in any form & manner, nothing will seem off if we put them next to each other in a 20 minute ep! right? riiiiiight ????
.. this was never a correct way. Just like a chapter needed a narrative direction, the ep is the same!!
ch 107: The beginning of tohru’s pov on her realization abt loving kyo.
ch108: tohru’s full pov of shock upon reaching the conclusion that she loves him & the beginning of her mom’s issues & abandonment.
ch109: Kyo’s pov abt tohru’s pain & his involvement, guil & the sheet hug.
ch110: (completely cut from the anime!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Kyoru’s part: the aftermath of kyo & tohru crossing the line of being in the most vulnerable & intimate, building towards a more crushing impact of the climax. The stronger & more painful their love is, the more it will hurt. Also a yuchi buildup?!!!!
-so, you see each chapter has a direction i& a narrative it follows independently that is weaved together to make a connected tissue of the overall plot. The anime puts the 3 chapters next to each other & we are lost on who to follow? kyo or tohru or the gramps. That’s why it feels tohru is weak & her two chapters worth of pov is stolen from her cuz it cut or shortened to include the grandpa, kyo, isuzu, shigure & let’s not forget (kazuma, yuki & haru) at the beginning, the dramatic shock value addition & OP & ED. All these take valuable screen time. The ep shocks us by moving from tohru to kyo. One minute she’s crying with him on the streets, next he’s at the grave & she’s visiting isuzu.
Kyo said he isn't going to the grave in the ep, upon seeing him actually going, I just assumed he wanted to avoid, hana, cuz I’m so invested in his story that I remember sth happened in se1, ep 14.. ages ago, The anime didn’t even allow kyo to inner talk abt avoiding hana... In their weird mind, kyo only inner talks in dramatic situations..See the difference!
Tumblr media
Not only the writer (a) reminds us why kyo avoided the grave visit, she also (b) seized the opportunity to shine lifht onto an issue that will be the center of kyo’s struggles: Running away!
The anime introduce this in kyo’s pov only when kyo confronts tohru. Only when it was needed & couldnt be avoided. This is sth that will be the core of all the climax & the aftermath as well! Kyo running away.. How bad are you if you avoid inserting one line only that can be said in few seconds & establish great deal & foreshadow plenty!!!!!!!!!! I can’t for the life of my understand why short lines are cut from kyo when in the anime they have him be standing silent in the graveyard. Like slap the line above the silent scene!!!!! But doing so means the anime team understands tohru & kyo’s issues. They don’t. Not the slightest.
-Ep 6 signals the beginning of the anime moving from episodic format of se1, 2 & 5 eps of se3 & entering a connect plot. The anime doesn’t know how to do that & screwed tohru in the process. The protagonist’s main issues are one ep worth only. The antagonist main issues are one ep only (ep7).  Ep 6, was treated as a stand alone ep (minus the inserted shock scene to create a lingering issue that needs a following ep to explain. TOLD YOU they don’t know how to make a series!). Thus the following ep 7 is akito’s focus. Everything that was established in ep 6 was pit on hold until akito reaches the craziest mindset for the climax. See why ep 6 was so bad? it is Should NOT be a stand alone ep.
-The plot connects kyoru emotional & physically: (Kyo’s chapter with a tohru’s focus:
Unlike the anime, the chapter knows what it’s presenting 7 where it’s going. Kyo’s issues. This ch focuses on him uncovering parts of his past as it connects with tohru’s. Unlike the anime, we know why kyo's connection to kyoko’s past. The anime is hiding this for the climax, no problem, it can still work both ways. However, hiding kyoko /kyo connection doesn't necessarily mean hiding kyoko/tohru connection. But the anime is cutting this to milk it in an ova or series next year~ no problem,  it can still work if you handle this ep’s  flashback better. for all the artistic creativity they inserted in the added scene, they failed miserably in tohru’s flashback portion. how?
By choosing a frontal pov shot in tohru’s grandpa flashback as if the audience are the ones who abandoned tohru or opening the door to find her alone. it does NOT work at all. why? the audience are encouraged to be like tohru since ep 1 as tohru is the mother, angel, fixer & endearing hopeful girl. The audience will NEVER abandon tohru, that’s why tohru’s story felt disconnected & weak in the anime. Not knowing what kyoko did, who would abandon such child?! differently not us. so why use the frontal pov shot? -_-’
-tohru confesses her pain to kyo without being ushered by isuzu, without any outside factor. She simply visited the grave & came home. hiding her pain. once again. like she always do. One question by kyo, prompts her to “ complain a little” call back to se1, ep5 as he advised. we see tohru get out of her shell little by little. NOT SCREAM OR SLAP. She opened up. why? cuz the story is abt “ opening the lid” not abt “ snatching the lid”. No need for shocks. Yuki opened his lide slowly, tohru even slower, kyo is resisting opening his altho it is cracking in this chapter. When your story focuses on character buildup it pays!
Tumblr media
-I’ll give the anime credit when it due. The hug scene is so good both in manga & anime. but so awesome in animation, colors, music & voice acting. It’s breathtaking & painful. The most beautiful kyoru scene in the whole anime.
-It represents their mutual vulnerability, understanding, pain & determination to love the other but not also let go. kyo has made his mind to be locked in order not to hurt tohru & tohru has made her mind that she can’t let go of her mom.
You see, the scene’s meaning hits different between manga & anime; In the anime: tohru has already challenged the sohmas & screamed to be with kyo, while kyo is still decided to leave her. In the manga: they’re both at the same spot (undecided). I like both interpretations but I’ll choose the manga’s version. Simply cuz it means tohru is still uncovering her issues which means more focus on her, & more explanation of why cant tohru love her mom & kyo at the same time.
Tumblr media
-This expression on tohru’s face is a the complete opposite of the shock value expression in ep 6! T_T. I do’nt even hate the shocked scene addition itself that much, I just think (a) this is NOT its time! Tohru deserved better spotlight! (b) kyo didn’t friggen forget! ah! THIS I HATE! (c) the whole shocked scene was so wasted in ep 7. tohru return to her stupid dumb lalala~ land, cooking & forgetting kyo. what growth? what determination & screams to isuzu? what enduring kagura’s slaps? nope! just happy & cooking, lalala~ no one was freaking over her mom’s picture~ lalala~ & kyo just slept it over~ shhhh... its okay. he’ll forget again... see? totally wasted!
The anime knows nothing abt connected narrative! augh!
Side Notes:
We see kyo asking the gramps why he’s offering him info abt tohru which is so logical! XD. I love it.
I’ve read ch 110 & wanted to insert the kyoru scene in ch 110 here, & put yuchi alone in a different post, then I realized I’ll need to talk abt it again once I analyze yuki’s own expressions! XD. so, I’ll put all ch 110 together in one post. It kinda half written by now, so I’ll publish it very soon in two days time. I didn’t read ch 111 yet tho.
I hope ch 110 is the last I feel this much disappointments in furuba’s anime & by ch 11, it hopefully be be minor changes altho I doubt that cuz the manga needed to dwell into tohru’s mindset & the anime kinda stopped after ep 6. so, yup! more big changes coming!
The sheet hug is so brilliant in theory & application! so romantic & so endearing! love it so much! The anime did it so well, too!
I love kyo’s narration & pov cuz it’s so refreshing change from the anime where he rarely does!
I really wish they kept the kyoko abandoning tohru part in the anime... sigh~ it has nothing much to affect her story with katsuya. so it won’t ruin the spin off/ ova or whatever it’s called. 
I love the light focus on tohru in this chapter & how organic & natural it is opposed to how forced the plot seems in the anime....

fruits basket - manga lb (chs 101-103)
Ugh, I’m late again, I’m sorry. University is so hectic rn and my assignments are piling on themselves, so I’ve had less free time lately. Luckily, I’m going to make matters worse for myself by taking a break from writing this paper to read some more of FB. :) 
CH 101: 
“Shigure, do you love me?” Oh, Akito... 
Ohhh shit, where’s Rin? Is she back in the hospital? “That makes me feel... a little uneasy.” GIRL, SAME. Where is my precious Horse Girl?!
“Shigure says he’s gonna be late tonight.” 
“Late? Isn’t he supposed to be having dinner with his editor?”
“Bet he just wants to torture her.” 
WHAT IS THIS? LOOK AT YUKI AND KYO GETTING ALONG AND AGREEING WITH EACH OTHER SO CIVILY. ARE THEY FINALLY ROUNDING A CORNER HERE? YESSS PLEASE.
Okay, yeah, good idea, Tohru. Make sure she’s okay at least.
Akito is at some family gathering huh? Interesting. 
Lol it’s so weird hearing Mit-chan call her a “he” knowing the truth now. 
“I do hate you.” LOL SHIGURE IS PETTY AS FUCK.
“There’s only one person that she really wants to be with.” Ah. Shigure. 
Here we go. Akigure time? 
“But you did sleep with ONE woman I know.” OH, SNAP.
Damn, Shigure really did Akito dirty like that? JFC. Sleep with her abuser? No wonder she got back at you for sleeping with Kureno. Lol, damn son. 
“It was payback for you sleeping with Kureno.” Well, there’s miscommunicated feelings all up in here. 
I’m kind of neutral to this whole thing (not taking one side over the other because while I do enjoy both characters a lot, watching their interactions is very fun and not something I’d go to bat about necessarily?? Does that make sense? This is one of those things where I’d rather just sit back and watch lol) 
“I want to crush her to a pulp” lol holy shit
And here we go, they’re going for it. 
IDK how I feel about them as a ship, either, because while they’re definitely toxic, I see how they fit together and also where those feelings would come from. But it makes a lot of sense. 
Rin hasn’t been at school? Okay now I’m seriously worried. Where the hell is my girl? 
CH 102:
Machi, baby, you’re... gonna come to love snow. I’m sure of it. 
Oh no, she overheard that. :(
I figured she had another sibling because of her mom being quick to hang up on the phone with her to attend to them. A little brother... and omg her parents basically kicked her out for it? I’m...? What? That’s awful. 
Yeah, I don’t believe that she’d tried to murder her baby brother, that’s just gossip. Talk to her, Yuki, find out what happened please. 
DID KAKERU REALLY JUST HAND YUKI MACHI’S BRA? IM FUCKING DYING WHATTTT
“Don’t get fresh with her while I’m gone.” kAKERU
Organization bothers her, having things neat and tidy. A little disarray makes her world less chaotic. Love that he sees it. 
... Machi, sweetie, oh nooo. :( Her mother is AWFUL. And this honestly just hit a little close to home so I had to take a break. That “mistake” line was hard to read. I heard that often myself. It’s never easy to break through. 
YES, YUKI, COMFORT HER!!! AHHH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
I knew it. I knew she wouldn’t hurt her baby brother. 
SFJSFJSJF THEY’RE SO CLOSE WTF YUKI MY BOYYYYY
“You two were about to smooch, weren’t you?!” YES, YES THEY WERE. DAMN IT KAKERU KSFSFJ
“For the first time in my life, I find myself... hoping for snow.” BYE. I’M GONE. HELP.
Oh my god they’re so cute I can’t handle it. 
CH 103:
Ohhh now we’re into the Yuki fanclub girls lol. 
“A man’s charm depends on... his assets.” LMAO. 
Awww Yuki feels bad and thinks he’s getting poetic justice for calling Kyo stupid before. Lol, baby boy, you’re not. 
MACHI WAS GONAN COMFORT HIM.
Minigawa has grown up so much since the start of the series. It’s amazing that I can like side characters that I never really cared about before now. So glad to see her taking all of this in stride!
Lol that was adorable of Nao just now. 
OH MY GOD IS THAT HIRO’S BABY SIBLING? 
A SISTER JFSJF
Hinata. ;A; 
“Mama will just hold the both of you.” Oh, wow. Mother of the year right here, and I say that with so much love. She’s amazing. She’s Kyoko level of amazing. 
ISUZU IS A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE. SJFJSFJS WHERE IS SHEEEEE.
“I’m worried that Isuzu... isn’t coming home.” 
WHOA. WHOA. WHOA. NOPE.
Akito has scissors.
Bittttch wtf what did you do to Rin?! 
Now I’m mad. 
I’ll be stewing about this until next weekend, unless I get time during the week to read more lmao. Fuck.

FRUITS BASKET EPISODE 10 AKA THAT BASTARD, SHIGURE
Ok... I just wanna let you know now... that I might swear a lot in this recap, all because of this super shady guy... and if you’re uncomfortable with it then this ain’t the one for you
Tumblr media
I hate love him. This is gonna be a long one, sorry!
- Oh no! Kitten is having a nightmare... Also, his mirror is covered... am I reading too much into things? (a bit of a stupid question considering this anime)
Tumblr media
- Did they add some extra visual flourishes to the opening or have I just been non observant and more so distracted by the beautiful opening song? (Still in love with it after 10 episodes)
- Hana’s cuckoo phenomenon 😂I love her but she definitely reminds me of those people who are naturally gifted and super intelligent but never use their gifts unless they feel an emotional draw to do so or if it is directly affecting them and their happiness and wellbeing... Another Shigure parallel... huuuh...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- The ‘Kyon-Kyon’ nickname is always so cute, I love that he’s so used to it now that he doesn’t even object to it. Although his mind was kind of preoccupied so...
Tumblr media
- Outfit appreciation time! I really liked Kyo’s jacket! It suited him! Green is a good colour for him. A solid B grade.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- What a grade A shit stirrer. I can’t. And is it just me or are they drawing Shigure extra sinister in this version?
Tumblr media
DIS BITCH. I’m so worried. And I don’t know why I like it but I just dooo *twirls around listening to Whitney Houston’s ‘So Emotional’*
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Ok this is where my memory of the manga fails me and I don’t know what any of this means but I’m fascinated and horrified and Kyooo what happened?! (Don’t tell me) (EDIT: I JUST LOOKED A LITTLE CLOSER AND TOTALLY REMEMBERED. OH SHIT. Still trying to put the pieces together as to what this moment has to do with how Kyo feels about Yuki...)
Tumblr media
- It’s a simple thing but I like the way they frame Kyo’s beads in certain scenes throughout the show... I just realised how weird that sounds if you don’t know the full story lol
Tumblr media
SO.
Tumblr media
GOSH DARN.
Tumblr media
GENTLE.
My heart...
Tumblr media
- It’d be a beautiful moment if I didn’t despise Shigure and Akito so much... and also on the low-low... it kind of gave me ‘Jacob falling in love with Renesme’ in Twilight kinda vibes? Icky...
Tumblr media
YOU IN DANGER, GIRL. Although, there was something very gentle and sweet about the way he said goodbye to the kids in the english dub, kudos to John Burgmeier. I’M SO FUCKIN CONFLICTED.
Tumblr media
This was a really interesting moment! Tohru not being sure how Shigure actually feels because he is always smiling made me parallel it to her earlier moment with Kyo in the forest.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kyo using his anger at Yuki and pretty much everything to protect himself and his fragility (or ‘innocence’ as Hana put it) is interesting when you put it in comparison to Shigure who uses his cheery disposition as a ruse from whatever twisted plans he has in mind. I dunno, I just thought it was funny how in this situation, the guy who’s always smiling is the most sinister. 
I do love parallels.
Tumblr media
And yeah same, Yuki.
Tumblr media
- I had the same reaction when I rewatched Pokemon 2000 as a girl in her twenties (plus I’m a Digimon stan, sorry)
Tumblr media
YAAAAS, DRAG HIM.
- Does Hatori even like Shigure? I guess it’s kind of like when you can somewhat tolerate someone’s bullshit even if it is terrible because you’ve known them for so long now that you can’t help but still care about them?... but when it comes down to it, is it even a true friendship in the end?
Tumblr media
I’m so fuckin frustrated. SO FRUSTRATED. Cos the worst thing about this. Is the fact that he KNOWS what he’s doing is bad and will break his ties with a lot of the zodiac members but he just doesn’t CARE. WHILE BEING CARING AT THE SAME TIME. It’s so intriguing but it’s sooo fucking awful. I want cuddly 2001 Shigure, ahaha. (I kid, I’m so invested in manga Shigure)
- That poor editor! I used to find her hilarious when watching the old anime but getting all that information about Shigure in this episode before seeing her just has a grey overcast on that now and I just feel sorry for her

I want Tohru to crush Shigure with kindness. CRUSH HIM.
This was way too long. Like long enough to make me question why I do this every week. Ah well, at least my thoughts are dumped somewhere. NEXT WEEK IS THE SPA EPISODE! ONE OF MY FAVOURITE EPISODES. Can’t wait!
