#give me miyano family flashbacks!

[stormblessed95]

Hi how are you fine I hope,...umm do you have a list of Manga or Anime that I could read or watch? If you have a list to start off with on your blog I would greatly appreciate. I used to read manga all the time but life happened so if you don't mind thank you...Happy Holidays.

I'm still new and haven't seen so much! Here is what I'll do, I'll give you a list of what I've seen and what I thought about it though!! It'll go like this:

Media Title (version I've seen it in, anime or manga, etc): my thoughts

and then you can take them as recs or not lol

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (anime): SO GOOD. It was the second anime I watched ever and it's what really got me hooked. Lol it's just pure good solid story telling and is just truly amazing in every way. I love it so much

Ouran High School Host Club (anime): it was fine. Lol good moments, funny moments, cute moments. Lots of weird ass tropes that I didn't love lol. Good palate cleanser but not my favorite and not one I continued to really spend time thinking about after

Demon Slayer (anime & manga): a new obsession after I watched it. I had to then go read it because I was obsessed with the story and couldn't wait. The most beautiful animation too. Tragic and hopeful and amazing. Made me cry a few times and does flashback so well lol

Yuri on Ice (anime): so good. So cute. So gay. I have posts on this anime on here from when I was watching it. Lmao I'll just link that here. I'm still obsessed.

Spy x Family (anime & manga): I actually read the manga first and then found the anime and it's just so wholesomely wonderful in every aspect. I love the story so much. I love the romance. The slowburn is so slow is painfully good. I ship it SO HARD. The domestic family life of a Spy, assassin and telepath is everything I didn't know I needed

Buddy Daddys (anime): 2 dude (they make a good ship too honestly lol) assassins accidental baby acquisition. It's as funny as it sounds with some surprisingly dark and sad and emotional backstories and moments. Just a really great time. Short and quick watch too. Link to my rec post too

The Yakuzas Guide to Babysitting (anime): it was okay. Lol cute and fun but nothing that stuck with me. Found this one off my Spy Family and Buddy Daddy's high while looking for something similar lol

The Ice Guy and his Cool Female Colleague (anime): cute and fun but man some of the episodes dragged and were a little slow. The romance was just okay too but had some really adorable moments

Sasaki to Miyano (anime): SO CUTE. God the whole premise is the BL romance and the slow burn is soooo slow but istg. The tropes are so good too. The importance to consent is beautiful. Literal BL tropes all over the place as the MCs is a BL fan and introduced his LI to BL lol my rec post here. And my post over a clip of the new movie too.

A Silent Voice (anime movie): excellent movie. Sad as fuck. I cried so much. Lol all the trigger warnings though. Please read the trigger warnings

Your Name (anime movie): excellent movie. I still think about it all the time. I just read a book that pulled inspo from this movie. I had tears STREAMING DOWN MY FACE at the end.

Sk8 the Infinity (anime): so good. So wholesome. So gay (it's canon gay, fight with the wall, I don't care lol) just a little show about skateboarding. Who knew it would be SO GOOD. My rec post. My matchablossom brain rot post

Naurto, Naruto Shippuden (anime): OBSESSED. I watched this show with my partner as part of his "I'm introducing you to anime" series he has for me. Lol and clearly he was going to introduce me to the classics. Yes One Piece and Bleach are on his lists for us to watch together too.

Haikyuu!! (anime & manga): Look, with this being the 3rd sports anime I watched, I'm convinced all sports animes create so many ships low-key on purpose. Lmfao in all honesty though, it's so good. Never in my life would I have imagined getting so invested into volleyball. But here I am.

Jujutsu Kaisen (anime and I'm starting the manga now too): IM SO OBSESSED ITS NO LONGER FUNNY AND THIS SHOW IS SO MEAN LATELY. I had to go buy the manga because I CANNOT HANDLE WAITING FOR NEW EPISODES OH MY GOD. WISH ME LUCK READING I GUESS My post

Bungo Stray Dogs (anime): I started this show for Dazai. Found him on TikTok. Stayed for the weird ass powers and the absolute utter nonsense that is this whole world. Nothing makes sense and we are all just here for the vibes. Yes I fucking love it, thanks lmfao My post

Link Click (donghua): started this on a whim because I got a random rec video on my algorithm and found it on Crunchyroll and I was told it was gay. There is so little gayness in the grand scheme of this show I felt so unprepared for what it was. Lmao I have never in my life had a show hit me so hard in my emotions off the bat EVERY SINGLE TIME. BUT ITS SO GOOD?? I told my husband I start each episode going "so how are you making me cry this time link clink??" The twists twist so hard it hurts, but in a way I love. I need the next season like now. my God.

Blue Eye Samurai (anime sort of): my NEWEST obsession. I NEED SEASON 2 PLEASE. I said sort of about anime because it is animated and it's set in Japan, but it's not from Japan so it's not really an anime.... Lol but it's on Netflix. It's not for children. And it's so good. Go watch it. Only 8 episodes. The story is immaculate. My post

Inuyasha (manga): read the manga and thoroughly enjoyed myself as a super fast and fun read!! Really just there a good time lmao

Yona of the Dawn (manga): SO CUTE and yet intense too. My sister put me on this one as one of the first manga series I started reading and I just ate it all up. If we ignore some of the weirder tropes it throws at you in the beginning, it's just fabulous lol I love it

Mo Dao Zu Shi (donghua): read the books, watched the donghua, watched the live action too lol. The brain rot is SO REAL. Like these characters live rent free forever. Thanks. You can find tons of posts for MDZS and TGCF(heaven Official's blessing) in my master list on my other blog @moonofthesurvivor

Heaven Official's Blessing (donghua): SAME AS MDZS THATS ALL LMAO

No. 6 (anime): loved it, sci-fi dystopian madness and so gay. My rec post here

Given (anime): so gay.... So sad.... So healing... That kiss though! That backstory! The songs are actually so good! I love that it's just a band full of gay people. My post here too

Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess (anime): politics meets isekai (done well) meets lesbian romance, meets magical epic battles and showdowns, meets badass ladies saving the world. Literally everything you could want

Hunter x Hunter (anime): I am watching this one now and have been for a little bit. This is the current one I'm watching with my partner in his list of animes he wants to introduce me too. I'm having SO MUCH FUN with this one but I also am hurting a little. Lol yes he warned me about the ants. Yes I'm not having fun with this arc. Thanks for asking. I can report back when we finish 😂

And for those who will want to know yes, I've got lots on my list to still watch and work through. Lol I'm always open to taking more suggestions though too!!

A little bit of Hanzawa backstory (TW: minor implications of homophobia)

“Homophobia?! In MY Hanzawa backstory?!” I hear you ask. Yes indeed, I was just as shocked as you at Hanzawa’s weird reaction and confession of feeling ‘conflicted’ about the burgeoning relationship between Sasaki and Miyano, as we saw in the recent Chapter 27, when by all accounts he’s seemed like a supporter so far.

However, several Japanese fans on twitter have been mentioning that Hanzawa is likely homophobic (to some degree at least) based on this reaction as well as a scene from the KagiHira novel—which may stem, we’re now seeing, from a potential gay family member of his own.

As I had not done much more, really, than briefly skim the novel the first time I bought it, I went back through it with a closer eye to see if I could find out where these implications of Hanzawa not being quite as accepting of his friends and classmates might have come from, and I do believe I’ve found it.

Initially in the novel, Hirano calls Kagiura ‘Kagiura-kun’, as is typical, but shortly into their being roommates, after they’ve gotten a bit more comfortable with each other, he decides to call him ‘Kagi-kun’ because he finds it easier. Hanzawa remarks on this, saying, “That’s rare, you giving someone a nickname.” This seems like an innocuous remark at the time—and it is—but it sets up Hanzawa’s suspicions of their relationship, which come to a head at the end of the novel.

I’ll include below a translation of the text in question. In this scene—the final one in the novel, taking place roughly 6 months after they become roommates—Hirano and Kagiura have gone to the dorm cafeteria to have dinner together.

=====

Kagiura and Hirano headed to the cafeteria earlier than they usually managed, and as they were settling in for dinner, the seat next to Hirano was suddenly pulled out. There weren’t many people in the dorm who felt comfortable interacting with Hirano like that—and it turned out to be the dorm head, Hanzawa.

Kagiura was usually among the students who ate dinner later, due to club practice, so it was a rare thing for them to run into one another like this.

“Where’s your roomie?”

Hirano asked the question with a casual air, and it sent a shiver through Kagiura.

I wonder if he talks about ME like that to...

It was so wonderfully familiar, had such an easy-going ring to it...

“He had a little too much fun at the school festival and passed out in our room. He wouldn’t wake up, so I left him there to snooze.” Hanzawa’s voice as he spoke sounded pretty exhausted itself, and Kagiura found himself feeling a bit awkward, as if he were listening in on a private conversation.

Once he finished with his salad, Kagiura silently turned his attention to his Chinese stir-fry—but his chopsticks froze in mid-air. Hanzawa, who was particularly sharp about sensing sensitivities, seemed to notice this.

“You aren’t going to eat that?” he asked.

Hirano responded for him: “Just one.” He was so nice.

“...Okay...” Kagiura could handle eating just one. He steeled himself—and managed to swallow down a single pepper.

Hirano watched his efforts and smiled warmly. “Good effort.”

“It was indeed an effort... But...I can’t possible stomach any more...”

“All right, all right...”

Hanzawa watched this intimate exchange with wide eyes but saw no chance to make a comment. Hirano, who usually had impeccable manners, offered Kagiura a soft smile, then reached for Kagiura’s plate from his seat across from him, chopsticks extended.

After Hirano had finished off the rest of Kagiura’s peppers himself, Kagiura released a grateful, “Thank you, Hirano-san!’—and Hanzawa could no longer contain himself, speaking up at last.

“There’s nothing going on between you two, is there?”

The tone he took with Hirano said he wouldn’t accept Hirano not responding.

“‘Going on’? It’s just an expression of friendship. Right, Kagi-kun?”

“I guess...you’d call it friendship...” Hirano had laughed his response as if it were obvious, but Kagiura’s half-nod and halfhearted reply were vague.

“Well that’s what it is, isn’t it?” Hirano clearly had no doubts about the nature of the exchange, but Kagiura’s response was suspicious.

Hanzawa watched the pair, muttering under his breath, “Are they maybe...?”—but then shook his head to himself, dismissing his thoughts.

=====

Hopefully I’ve gotten the mood across with the language, but the implication is Hanzawa isn’t happy that something seems like it might be blossoming between his male classmate and said classmate’s male roommate.

With Sasaki and Miyano, again he sees something blossoming between a male classmate and a male underclassman, and again it shakes him and leaves him confused about his feelings on the matter.

This, coupled with what seems like a flashback seems to suggest to me that something has happened in Hanzawa’s past, possibly involving a gay brother, and things did not work out for him, or perhaps the brother was harshly rejected by their parents for his sexuality, and a young Hanzawa was encouraged to reject him as well.

It’ll be very interesting to see how this plays out—I just hope it doesn’t cause Sasaki and Miyano too much stress, because THEY ARE WORKING SO HARD ON GETTING TOGETHER and I do no need this drama screwing up their blossoming relationship OKAY??
