BRAT; Ryomen Sukuna x fem!Itadori Reader. (Soulmate au)

This is a sukuna x fem itadori reader wip. I thought a soulmate au with sukuna possessing you would be an interesting idea haha. It has some cracky undertones.

Yuji is your twin brother but you ate the cursed finger instead.

Would you like to read more of it? Let me know!

Sukuna had been waiting his entire life for you, his soulmate. From the time he learned about soulmates, he was obsessed with the idea of meeting you.

He didn’t quite understand what the words on his wrist meant but he adored him. “Holy fuck you’re hot.” were illuminated on his wrist. He reasoned that maybe it was some other language. He always ran his fingers on the words, tracing them gently whenever he felt sad or angry. It was his only solace in this cruel world.

He didn’t care about the abuse he received from his parents nor did he care about how the villagers treated him.

You were the only thing on his mind. His mind was always wandering around thinking of you. He wondered about what you looked like, how you were doing, if you thought about him as much as he did.

He wished you would just come and save him from the hellish life he was living. He was at a point in his life where he was weak and he wasn’t able to do anything to protect himself.

He trained everyday on his techniques, worked on building muscles and just becoming strong. He got strong and eventually became the strongest sorcerer alive so that he could protect you.

He waited and waited and waited for you to show up one day. But you never showed up. Sukuna felt gutted. He was so filled with grief and sadness that he went mad.

He slaughtered numerous people. It didn’t matter who it was, men or women he killed them all. He didn’t care about the consequences of his actions. He just wanted to meet you.

A time came when he had to be killed. His only regret was that he never got to meet you. His fingers became a cursed object and were sealed away.

In the 21 century, there you were. Itadori y/n, Yuji Itadori’s twin sister.

You were a bubbly child, always happy and just rambling all the time. It didn’t matter who it was, the moment someone talked to you? You went off on tangents about anything and everything. You had never-ending topics and facts and the urge to never shut up.

Your twin, Yuji, was constantly annoyed with your incessant talking but it was also one of the things that he loved about you.

When you found out about soulmates you were amazed by the notion of it. Someone that was going to love you no matter what.

The words written on your wrist were embarrassing and in some ways endearing to you.

The words “I finally found you huh? My brat.” adorned on your wrist. You figured your soulmate was quite a grumpy person that was like an old soul.

You daydreamed about your soulmate all the time. You wondered about what he was like. You eagerly wished to meet him.

————————————————————————

You and Yuji were on your way to the hospital. You both had brought a beautiful bouquet for your Grandpa Saitou. To others he may seem like a rude old man, he literally was but he was so much more than that. He was like your father. He had single-handedly raised you and yuji and loved you both immensely.

You walked inside the hospital room and rushed up to your grandpa Saitou and hugged him. “Grandpa! I missed you.”

Now Grandpa had a soft spot for you. You reminded him of his son, Itadori Jin. Over the years he had fondly spoken about the similarities between you.

“I joined a club with Yuji today!” “Oh really? Tell me all about it.” your grandpa replied with a glint of amusement in his eyes. He was the only one alongside Yuji who loved hearing you talk.

“Yuji? Why am I hearing just now that you joined the occult club?” Grandpa now turned towards Yuji who was placing the flowers in the vase.

“Uh, you know how she is. I am not going to leave her alone.” Yuji shrugged. “This is why I love you yuji!” you fake cried. “Shut up.” He blushed. Grandpa cleared his throat.

“Yuji, you're a strong kid, take care of others, especially her.” Grandpa now turned over and looked at you. “You're the sweetest child and I am proud that I raised you both.”

“Grandpa-why are you saying this?” you stuttered.

“Both of you protect each other no matter what.” Grandpa Saitou spoke and turned over. That was the moment you knew he was dead.

“Grandpa? Grandpa?” Yuji called out.

“Yuji? Is- he de-ad?” your lip quivered. Yuji did not respond, it made you sob. Your legs felt weak and you dropped to the floor. Hot tears were streaming down your face.

Yuji scooped you in his arms and led you out of the hospital room. He sat you down on one of the chairs and let you cry on his shoulder. Yuji also had tears in his eyes, he didn't expect this. Neither of you did.

You were approached by an emo-looking boy with spiky hair. "Yuji Itadori, correct?" The person asked. “You're my soulmate?” Yuji asked, looking dumbfounded.

“This is crazy,” You mumbled. “I’m Fushiguro Megumi. It's nice to finally meet you. I’m from Jujutsu high school. Sorry, but there's no time." He said.

"The cursed object you have is extremely dangerous. Hand it over right away." Megumi spoke. “I don't want you to get hurt,” he added.

"Cursed object?" Itadori asked, confused. You moved to a more secluded area. "This, you have it right?" He asked as he pulled out his phone with a picture of the cursed object.

“Hm?" Itadori looked closer. “Yuji, isn't that the ugly-looking finger?” you questioned.

"Oh yeah! I found it. I don't mind giving it back, but my fellow club members have taken a liking to it." He spoke. "I’d at least like an explanation."

"The majority are the result of negative energy that flows out of people..." Megumi started. “And it's a very dangerous object. I can't risk you getting hurt or other people getting killed.'' Megumi spoke.

“I said that I don't mind it, you can have it.” Yuji handed him the box.“It’s empty? I was just following the taint clinging to the box?” Megumi mumbled.

“Yuji? Where is the finger?” He asked. “It's with our senpais. Actually, they were thinking of removing the talisman tonight.'' Megumi backed away.

“What? Is it bad?” You asked. “Bad? It's worse than bad, they're going to get killed.”

~time skip~

"I just need some cursed energy, right?" you rustled through your pocket and pulled out the finger, and ate it.

“You dumbass. Are you trying to kill yourself?” Yuji yelled at you. “Well if it saves you then i’ll do everything in my power.” you smiled at yuji.

Your entire body convulsed and your eyes rolled to the back of your head. You could faintly hear yuji and his soulmate scream for you as you collapsed on the cold floor.

You woke up in a weird dark place that awfully looked like a shrine? And someone was sitting on the throne made up of bones.

You squinted your eyes, “Holy fuck you're hot.” You blurted out then squeaked.

The man chuckled, his voice sounded deep and velvety. “I finally found you huh? My brat.”

“YOU?!!” you shouted.

And just like that, you found your soulmate.

He snapped his fingers and you landed on his lap. “Wow, today is like a trainwreck,” you mumbled.

“What do you mean by that?” he asked, propping his chin on your shoulder. “Well first my grandpa died then my brother found his soulmate and then we heard that our senpais could die because of the old crusty finger so then I ate it and well then I passed out and then I found you?” you animatedly spoke. “Well where did you come from tho?” you asked.

He chuckled again. “I quote ‘The old crusty finger’ That was my finger from my old body that got sealed away.”

“Wait- does that mean you're inside of me?” You asked, feeling confused about the whole situation.

“That sounded so bad.” Sukuna groaned. “But yes I’m quite literally inside your body.”

“How does that even work? And how haven’t you shriveled up like a prune yet? Like you’re so old?” You were very confused.

“I have a good skincare routine.” Sukuna sniffed. You laughed.

“You know I imagined my soulmate to be a grumpy man with an old soul but you turned out to be a grumpy old man with an even older soul.” You giggled.

“I'm not that old, okay?” He grumbled. “How old are you again?” You questioned.

“I stopped counting after 300.” You burst into a fit of giggles.

“Does that mean you're a gilf? Like you're so old.” “Well, I tried to keep myself alive for you and what does gilf mean?” He inquired in confusion.

“Grandpa I’d like to fuck.” You snorted.

He groaned, “That is the dumbest thing I’ve heard. I’ve never had children so how can I be a grandpa?”

“Well, you have that aura.” You spoke, trying to muffle your laugh. “You cheeky brat.” Sukuna huffed.

Hello!

I'm isekaiscreencaps! I post screencaps of isekai anime (sometimes, rarely, some non-isekai anime too...). You can call me "Kai" for short.

Part 2 to this post

Before we start discussing the RK adaptations, I want to note that we’re basically only talking about two men who made them, Kazuhiro Furuhashi directed the anime and all three OVAs (though they all had different writers) and Keishi Ōtomo directed and wrote the live action adaptations

I’m also working off mostly fan translations so grain of salt compared to analyzing English language material

Anime

first things first, I am naturally biased against anime because I read faster than watching so I prefer to read the manga and I don’t like filler so it has to have really good animation to be worth it and the RK anime does not

I’m also not going to address the filler arcs in this post, I shouldn’t have to explain myself past the Feng Shui zombies but I’m also ignoring it because I’m trying to focus on what was adapted from the manga and not new stuff because this is a tumblr post

that said, the anime is the best adaptation when it comes to Kaoru of RK and that’s super sad because the anime has a lot of problems generally speaking and because it doesn’t actually change anything major about Kaoru’s arc in the first 2/3rds of the manga

maybe it’s just the dub (yes I watched the dub it’s from 90s and I first watched it in the 00s you find subs) but like whatever issues I had with the manga’s shonen-ness, the anime leans into it more and is extremely 90s anime like having Kenshin walk in on Kaoru in the tub even though it’s set in the goddamn 1870s and it kinda warps everyone’s personality towards the goofy and selfish in some respects with the filler warping them further

but in the Tokyo arc they do try to have her be more involved (after making her faint after the first fight against Hiruma rather than having Kenshin fake a groin injury then run off with her) like she tries to rescue Yahiko and she to Kanryuu’s mansion in the anime when she doesn’t in the manga and it also showed her as physically stronger than in the manga

and they don’t change much in the Kyoto Arc, just keeping it as it is in the manga though they do go for a little more drama like with Kenshin’s fight with Saitou and his departure for Kyoto

so I consider those early changes good but superficial and kinda countered by the anime’s tone, like it’s nice Kaoru is more involved as it speaks better to her abilities and also her morals in terms of how much she’s willing to involve herself to help people (though it’s limited by the 90s anime warping) but she’s still kidnapped by Jin-E and she’s still not shown to be that effective as a fighter compared to Kenshin and Sano and even Yahiko down the line

but it doesn’t deal with the biggest issues concerning her character arc and the themes of the series as it never gets to the Jinchuu Arc so I can’t say if they might have tried to fix things in terms of trying to let her fight more or something like that but even if it was the same as the manga that probably would have been better than the adaptations we have gotten for that arc

OVA

the less said about Reflection the better, nobody comes out of that OVA looking good whether you’re talking about any of the characters or any of the people that worked on it, maybe we were expecting too much from director that gave us Feng Shui zombies but that’s only his own fault for making Trust and Betrayal so good and of course Kaoru can’t be part of the good OVA

anyways, I’m basing this off memory as I refuse to rewatch this shit and you can’t make me, but Kaoru doesn’t do anything, like there’s brief flashbacks to Jinchuu but she doesn’t do anything in Jinchuu to begin with in the manga and Reflection doesn’t fix it, she marries Kenshin, and has Kenji at some point, and from then on out is basically a doormat, like she who chased after Kenshin to Kyoto and spent all her time trying to get him to stay in the manga lets him wander off to get a deadly STD then asks him to infect her with it for some reason and then just waits around for Kenshin to get back to die in her arms, pretty sure she never picks up a bokken the entire OVA

nobody asked for that, nobody liked it, and we all pretend we’ve never heard of it for good reason because whoever those characters were they were not the ones from the manga

but it somehow still has an edge over the New Kyoto Arc in two ways

first, its animation is still good even if I think the eyes in that art style are super freaky

second, Reflection at least had a point to being made and a reason to watch, everyone wanted to see Jinchuu animated, we didn’t really get it and it was a depressing shit show, but at least there was a point

there was no point in making the New Kyoto Arc, it was literally too cheap and too short to even be worth the attempt and effort and I think we all would like to apologize to the animators for having their efforts wasted like that

and Kaoru’s only good in it on account of it not being Reflection where may I remind you she asks Kenshin to infect her with a deadly STD

Kaoru honestly doesn’t have much of anything to do with the plot on account of them deciding to give more weight to Misao as she’s the new character for the arc, like they have Kaoru and Yahiko visit Hiko so people know who he is when he shows up against the giant later, but it’s completely meaningless because they’re not the ones that need to see Hiko, Kenshin is, and Kenshin literally never talks to him in the OVA

And because Kenshin isn’t the one meeting Hiko, they set Kenshin and Kaoru meeting together again at a lamplit road in Kyoto which sure is a romantic atmosphere and I think it was meant to be a scene that draws the audience into watching, but I feel like something is lost in the relationship when Kenshin says he’s angry she came but doesn’t sound or look angry and also doesn’t refuse to look at her while he’s walking away when he says it like in the manga

I feel like that scene in the manga was underutilized in their relationship in terms of making it a believable romance as it’s never brought up or addressed again to resolve it and have them get closer for it, it’s just ignored and forgotten, and the OVA does the opposite of attempting to improve it

as for fighting, Kaoru is shown with a bokken, but only holding it over unconscious goons not actually fighting with it, and like I said they decided to keep Hiko fighting the giant despite Hiko having no connection to Kenshin really in this OVA and all Kaoru gets is kicked into a building and then she’s just there in the wall for the rest of the scene, and obviously the entire high point of the manga, her fight with Kamatari, is totally removed

also in the manga, it felt like Misao and Kaoru had an actual friendship because they liked each other, but in the OVA they’re like suspicious of each other and Misao’s like I guess I’ll have to trust you since Himura does which I guess comes of the time constraints but it felt weird to literally just shove Kenshin in the middle of their relationship and I did not like it

Live Action

boy does this director hate Kaoru, I honestly think I would have preferred he just cut her out entirely than make her incidental and then have her get with Kenshin anyways like I stg she’s just there for fanservice like kenkao is only happening because he believes he needs to do shallow facsimiles of major moments in the manga like they’re little tokens he has to pay in order to get to do what he wants

and Kaoru is incidental in the movies, she could be entirely removed from the series without changing the overall narrative for a shorter run time and improved narrative flow

the first sign of this is the fact that she is not the second introduced character in the movie

the list of characters introduced before her in the movie include:

Saitou, Jin-E, Kanryuu, the oniwabanshu, and Megumi

all of whom are more minor characters than Kaoru and includes one who doesn’t even show up until the second arc in the manga

they’re all considered more significant to the movie than Kaoru to the point of choosing to introduce them before her

like regardless of how Kaoru ended the manga and regressed as a character, there are in fact reasons she starts the manga and not anybody else and it has nothing to do with being the love interest for Kenshin which the director entirely forgets

first, she creates the inciting incident where Kenshin chooses to stay even if he means for it to be temporary

second, the first thing they do after Kenshin rescues her (so the third scene in the whole manga) is discuss her and her father’s sword style and Kenshin telling her not to get herself killed to protect an ideology NOT Kenshin’s use of a sakabatou, this shifts the manga’s discussion concerning swords and not killing away from Kenshin’s personal idiosyncrasies and whether or not people think he can change to Kenshin’s not the only one thinking about how to change sword use for the new era and shows that Kenshin knows he only gets away with not killing his opponents due to overwhelming individual strength, this is the start of a discussion that is carried through the rest of the series

and a variation of this scene is in the movie

at like the halfway point when the focus of the movie has already been put on Saitou criticizing Kenshin specifically for not killing

it’s not even connected to other scenes Kaoru is in and it matters when and in what context you put scenes and this is something that they consistently disregard with the scenes Kaoru is in over the course of the movie series

scenes that are adjacent in the manga that serve to build momentum and result in an emotional payoff of some kind are separated out weakening the follow through in addition to changes to the scenes themselves

for example, Kaoru and Kenshin meet (like a quarter of the way into the movie but like whatever) and Kaoru still has a bokken and attacks him for wearing the sakabatou

but it’s in the day time, Jin-E who is standing in for the Hirumas in the movie is not there, there’s no stakes in this meeting, nothing to move the relationship forward, essentially a one off encounter in a bubble

so now that that isolated scene ends with Kenshin and Kaoru and Jin-E separated, they have Kaoru wandering around scenes later and petting a cat so she can be in place for her to stumble upon one of the policemen Jin-E attacked to look for Megumi so Jin-E can spot her and attack her and then have Kenshin come out of nowhere with no explanation to rescue her (instead of the building full of policemen he could have tried saving idk)

and that’s basically every scene they have together in the movies, completely disconnected and watered down in an attempt to make it inoffensive in a new narrative timeline that doesn’t need Kaoru

like they made the Jin-E fight the climax to recreate a kenkao scene but it makes no sense for him to leave to get Kaoru to force a fight with Kenshin…when Kenshin is literally already fighting his employer Kanryuu and the oniwabanshu to rescue Megumi and in the manga Jin-E took Kaoru out of convenience as she was right there trying to get Kenshin not to wander off

either get Kaoru to the mansion so Jin-E freezes her lungs there to recreate the kenkao or don’t bother as Megumi is already there in the position Kaoru was in

and the reason I say that about Megumi is because the only scene with emotional depth Kenshin has is with Megumi right before she leaves to go back to Kanryuu not Kaoru, he even brings up Akria and Tomoe with her

and it continues into the sequels

when Kenshin leaves for Kyoto, their parting happens in daylight again and this may just be translation but Kaoru’s argument for him to stay is that he could be happy here with them rather than fighting Shishio but in the manga she argues Kenshin can come back from being the Battousai if he gets near the edge (a fear he’s expressed to her already) and Kenshin says he can’t trust himself and the argument in the movie feels like much more shallow concerns

like in the manga Kaoru is clearly not saying you have no responsibility in regards to Shishio/defending the new era (which is more Sano’s argument because he thinks no one should do anything for the Meiji government he hates) but that Kenshin doesn’t need to abandon them to do it whereas in the movie it sounds like she is asking him not to take action when he has the ability to defend people and pretend nothing is wrong

and she doesn’t react at all when he leaves, she falls and cries in the manga but just looks kinda confused in the movie and it continues in later scenes with Megumi basically having to tell the audience/Kaoru actually you do give a shit about Kenshin go get him when she’s going about daily life totally normally when Megumi only did that in the manga because Kaoru refused to get out of bed or eat

In the reunion in Kyoto, Kaoru shows up during the Chou fight but there’s a time skip and a flashback before Kenshin gives his line about being half mad and half relieved, like that’s no longer his first reaction to her, he’s had like half a day to think about it like you couldn’t make up your mind by then?

also Shishio kidnaps Kaoru so they can get Kenshin to Hiko and for Kaoru to do nothing in the third movie when that makes no sense for Shishio to care about Kaoru when he knows Kenshin is coming for him and Kenshin should want to see Hiko to finish his training, why does he need to be forced into it?

and it makes it 3 out of 4 movies where Kaoru is kidnapped for the finale which is annoying as hell and also why should we give a shit by the 4th movie when she’s taken by Enishi and her death not even faked, Kenshin has no bsod or character growth so it’s cheap and useless to kidnap her when she hasn’t done anything for an entire movie at this point and barely even saw Kenshin

also they have Kenshin propose to Kaoru in the third movie which annoys the shit out of me as Kaoru was the one to propose to him in the manga, it doesn’t make sense for either of their characters based on the manga

it actively damages the narrative and themes of the movie series to include Kaoru but not care for her or what she brought to the manga’s narrative and so shift her around arbitrarily to do shallow versions of iconic kenkao moments and nothing else

there’s no romantic tension or believability, it removes Kaoru’s development entirely as she literally never changes and just gets dragged around as needed for fanservice, and kneecaps Kenshin’s character arc as there’s basically never the inciting incident from the manga or the final BSOD that is the climax of his character arc due to Kaoru’s absence and complete gutting as a character

like in terms of a fix to make the movie series a better movie series, the easiest thing to do would be to remove Kaoru entirely and make Megumi the love interest, she’s the one that has a personality and actually acts like she loves Kenshin as she repeatedly gets between him and the police and says to kill her first and has the emotional moments in the series with him like the one I pointed out in the first movie and another in the 3rd when Kenshin returns to the dojo

it wouldn’t fix the live action as an adaptation as that wouldn’t fix the everything they did wrong in Kenshin’s character arc, but it would be a better overall product

and then moving from the narrative to specifically discuss how they treat Kaoru as a fighter is I think they gave her shit to make up for trashing her narrative presence and it’s just as shallow as everything else

in the sequels she gets adult students and it’s never addressed or shown how she gets and keeps them as Kenshin tells students off that he’s not going to teach them like in the manga except that they were already learning from Kaoru and they don’t leave after he says that which just makes Kenshin look like an arrogant ass and still doesn’t explain where they came from, Kaoru also magically starts teaching at a fancy academy in the 4th movie when they literally never show her teaching just walking around and observing

Also she takes one whack at Jin-E in the first movie with her bokken and then never fights with it again and not only do they cut the Kamatari fight, they give her a NAGINATA to fight with!!!! I don’t know how many people are familiar with the naginata being considered a woman’s weapon in Japan and the katana a man’s but the director surely knew, Kaoru specifically learning kenjutsu and not naginatajutsu is narratively important because like I’ve said, she needs to know kenjutsu to get that inciting incident going but it’s just as important to her characterization as a tomboy

samurai women learned martial arts that is normal and expected as members of the warrior class

a woman choosing a katana specifically (or a bokken in Kaoru’s case) is going against the grain

it pisses me off so much that they would take that from her after everything else they did to her

I fucking hate the live action movies and they get extra spite compared to the OVAs because at least everyone considers them bad, but the live action is well reviewed and made a lot of money and is credited for raising the interest in live action adaptation of mangas, but they’re bad adaptations and not just for Kaoru, reviews of the series say it respected the source material but they completely fuck up Kenshin’s character arc at every step of the way, how can you claim to respect the source material when you disregard the protagonist like that?

I’m not spending any time on RK adaptations in the future as there’s clearly no reason to believe they’d be any good especially not to Kaoru in addition to them supporting Watsuki, it’s just not worth it

#rurouni kenshin #kaoru kamiya #adaptation #meta #long post #I actually think this is longer than the last one rip me #no wonder it took like a month to do jfc

My Review of The Pet Girl of Sakurasou

How did I get into this anime? Um…good question. I’m not entirely sure how this one ended up on my list other than it was licensed by Sentai Filmworks.

Sorata Kanda is a student at Suimei High School, a school notorious for its classes in the art field. Sorata finds himself in a bit of trouble when it was noticed that he tries to take in stray cats. The school put their foot down and threw Sorata in the trouble-maker dorm, also known as “Sakura Hall”. The residents are all…I think quirky is the best way to describe them. There’s an energetic animator and goofball (Misaki), a guy into doing playwright and doing women (Jin), a shut-in that’s good with programming (Ryuunosuke), and a promiscuous art teacher/dorm mistress (Chihiro).

What was Sorata’s problem again? He would take in stray cats!

Never mind, I would probably end up there too. And not just for taking in stray cats either.

The dorm mistress Chihiro asks Sorata to pick up her cousin coming in from Europe. She’s going to transfer to the school and is going to stay at Sakura Hall. Mashiro Shiina looks normal and seems kinda aloof. I wonder why she would be in the dorm with the crazy people. Your questions are answered in episode 2. Mashiro is a genius in the art world, but her social skills are lacking. And saying she’s aloof is an understatement! The girl doesn’t even know how to put on clothes or do basic things in order to survive. Not to mention all the literal things she says without knowing what she’s saying.

Let’s just say Sorata gets a heavy-load of misunderstandings when watching over this weird girl in Sakura Hall.

BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: Whenever Sentai or FUNimation is in need of a voice that calls for a high school lad at half-testicles, you can always count on Greg Ayres to be there. I can’t hate on the man, he plays a bunch of funny lads with that distinct voice of his. I know some people find it annoying, but I’m cool with it. Probably because I didn’t complain when he played that butt-monkey on Clannad! Moving on, this anime has just about everyone you would think would be in the dub of a Sentai licensed anime. Luci Christian, John Swasey, Hillary Haag, Kira Vincent-Davis, Shelly Calene-Black, and so many other veterans. I’m also excited to officially hear Natalie Rial in an anime. She is the sister to voice Jesus, Monica Rial.

Now there was one character that felt off hearing from and that was Ryunnosuke. Mostly the big difference between the English and Japanese! Let’s just say that when I heard Blake Shepard’s voice come out, it felt weird. Up until he appeared, I thought Ryunnosuke was a female. Especially when I read prior to his appearance that Yui Horie voiced him. So I almost took a spit-take first hearing the dub. Here’s what you might recognize these folks from.

JAPANESE CAST: *Sorata is played by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (known for Soma on Food Wars, Inosuke on Demon Slayer, Kirito on SAO, Helios on Sailor Moon Eternal, Petelgeuse on Re:Zero, Yona on Fire Force, and Freed on High School DxD

*Mashiro is played by Ai Kayano (known for Darkness on Konosuba, Alice on SAO: Alicization, Kanae on Demon Slayer, Mayaka on Hyouka, Ryouko on Food Wars, Itsuwa on Index, and Yukika on Ore Monogatari)

*Misaki is played by Natsumi Takamori (known for Mei on Another, Tiaplate on Interspecies Reviewers, Hibana on Deadman Wonderland, Souna on High School DxD, and Saitou on Rozen Maiden: Zurückspulen)

*Jin is played by Takahiro Sakurai (known for Suzaku on Code Geass, Licht on Black Clover, Oshino on Monogatari, Ayame on Fruits Basket 2019, Sting on Fairy Tail, Griffith on Berserk 2016, and Osomatsu in Mr. Osomatsu)

*Ryuunosuke is played by Yui Horie (known for Hanyuu on Higurashi, Tohru on Fruits Basket, Hanekawa on Monogatari, Minori on Toradora, Felix on Re:Zero, Charla on Fairy Tail, and Maria on Umineko)

ENGLISH CAST: *Sorata is played by Greg Ayres (known for Kaoru on Ouran HSHC, Nagisa on Free!, Sunohara on Clannad, Monokuma on Danganronpa, Izumi on Love Stage, Ayato on Angel Beats, Chrono on Chrono Crusade, and Isshiki on Chunibyo)

*Nanami is played by Christina Kelly (known for Alice on Food Wars, Sophia on Chunibyo, and Kouko on Golden Time)

*Mashiro is played by Caitlynn French (known for Mio on Little Busters, Shiro on No Game No Life, Matsurika on Maria Holic, and Kanna on Tamako Market)

*Misaki is played by Luci Christian (known for Wrath & Truth on FMA, Medusa on Soul Eater, Uraraka on My Hero Academia, Nagisa on Clannad, Yukari on Azumanga Daioh, Nami on One Piece, and Hiro on Fruits Basket 2019)

*Jin is played by Scott Gibbs (known for Satoshi on Food Wars, Sora on No Game No Life, and Mitsuo on Parasyte)

*Ryuunosuke is played by Blake Shepard (known for Soma on Food Wars, Otonashi on Angel Beats, Shoma on Penguindrum, Kyousuke on Little Busters, Natsume on Inu x Boku SS, and Laito on Diabolik Lovers)

SHIPPING: Okay, let’s go crazy!

*Sorata x Mashiro: Everything here is just piles upon piles of misunderstandings. Mashiro says a lot of things that have double meanings. She doesn’t intend to do it, she’s just aloof and only pays attention to her art. It wasn’t until the halfway mark of the series when Mashiro feels something she’s never felt before. Prior to this, she only focused on her art and literally nothing else. Now, she wants to try new things for Sorata’s sake. And then she learned about jealousy as she acted on impulse a couple of times due to Sorata paying a little more attention to Nanami. Thankfully, the jealousy never really blew up to proportions that involve cat fights. Just her running away at an important time! You know, that kind of drama.

*Sorata x Nanami: Nanami has a crush on Sorata. It’s been visible from space since episode one. So what do you think is going to happen when someone like Mashiro shows up and says weird shit about sleeping with Sorata, going to a love hotel with Sorata, and Sorata, please do my laundry?! Jealousy’s gonna hit! At the school festival, Nanami got a confession and it was NOT from Sorata like she wanted. It was from her and Sorata’s classmate whom I can’t remember or bother remembering anything about him. And of course Nanami doesn’t want this. Now I do give Nanami credit here as she doesn’t try to delve a wedge between Sorata and Mashiro because she’s the one with the bigger and longer crush. But Nanami’s confession kinda comes out in her creative ways like in her voice over practice.

*Jin x Misaki: So at the beginning, I didn’t know where this was going to go. It was proven that Misaki likes Jin early on. But who the hell knew if this was going to be legit canon? Jin was a playboy and Misaki is eccentrically nuts. However, there were moments sprinkled throughout the series where Misaki would do insane things to get Jin’s attention. We just didn’t know if she was for sure serious about Jin or just messing with him. But then we learn that Jin actually dated Misaki’s older sister once upon a time and this really strikes at Misaki. Once she saw Jin and Fuuka together after so long, Misaki felt more determined to win Jin’s heart by any means necessary. Turns out the two truly love each other, but worry about the other due to things out of their control.

*Ryuunosuke x Rita: We finally met the shut-in, computer programmer face-to-face during the midway point. He only comes out of hiding when he needs to show up to school for important tasks like exams. Sucks for Ryuunosuke because when he emerged after a long time being holed up, Mashiro’s friend from England, Rita came for a visit! Besides wanting to take Mashiro back home with her, she inadvertently falls for Ryuunosuke. Yes, about that! Ryuunosuke hates females. He did not care for that kiss Rita gave him. Or any kiss for that matter!

ENDING: The fun nears its end! The students of Sakura Hall got some pretty grim news. Their dorms are to be torn down effective immediately. Sorata is of course disgusted that the school is going to do it. After all this time he’s spent at the dorms, he’s felt a connection there and with all his friends. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much defense to go on with this. The building is pretty run down and the school usually just sent troublemakers to live there. Misaki and Jin are like days away from graduating so they would be moving away anyways. And Nanami is probably going to be leaving, either for a job or because of her parents.

But then we learn that the school pushed up demolition plans because of Mashiro. Because of Mashiro’s (good) reputation, the school felt as though the dorm has become a hinderance on her art work and wants to do away with the distraction. Sorata was determined to keep both Sakura Hall and Mashiro, but he does end up getting a pile-up in his life during this time. To tell the truth, nearly everybody had a lot of baggage to deal with besides the demolition of their dorm. Nanami ended up failing her audition for this voice actress opportunity and was at a crossroads with a future career and what her parents want. Misaki and Jin are about to deal with a long-distance relationship as Jin is going to college in a different city. And Sorata is dealing with the stresses of getting a game idea accepted.

Sorata took on more when he decided to help his friends try to petition the tearing down of Sakura Hall. Unfortunately, they were unable to get the amount of signatures needed to overturn the school’s decision. On top of that, Sorata got a rejection for his game and took his anger and frustration out on Mashiro. Mashiro thought that if she left, Sakura Hall would be left alone. Thankfully, Sorata and Nanami were able to stop Mashiro before she could hop a train and plane out of Japan. And we do get a touching moment between Sorata and Nanami without the use of jealousy or confessions of love. Just in time, the kids were able to make it to Jin and Misaki’s graduation.

At the graduation, Misaki kinda commandeered the student council president’s speech to the graduating class to her own plan. In the speech, Misaki explained her time at Sakura Hall as the time of her life and pleaded with everyone to oppose the school’s decision to demolish it. With so many students opposing the principal and bringing a lot out in the open, Sakura Hall is saved. Now is the time for many of these kids to go their separate ways. Nanami is going home and whether or not she returns is up to her father (spoiler alert: she stays). Jin and Misaki are going to college, but Jin is going away while Misaki stays in town (best of all they’re engaged and will be wed once they both graduate). And Ryuunosuke is going to do what he does best and if we see him again, we see him again.

With Sorata and Mashiro alone for the moment, they reflect on their first meeting and Sorata gets a kiss on the cheek.

The new school year brings three new students to Sakura Hall; a pervert, an extreme introvert, and Sorata’s baby sister. Turns out she really passed her entrance exam several episodes prior! And Misaki ended up buying the house next door from Sakura Hall! Sorata decided to keep some traditions alive with the new housemates by having a hot-pot celebration, a wild greeting, and a few cats hanging around.

This was pretty nice. I didn’t know what I was expecting when I started watching this. I initially put it on my randomizer list because this was one of the few animes licensed by Sentai with a very decent score. I do wonder if the story continues in manga form. And if so, is there any more progression between Sorata and either Nanami or Mashiro? I’m not mentioning Sorata’s little sister here because, come on man, that’s just nasty! Is there any necessary thing to mention about the new students or were they just added at the end just for hahas? I doubt if anything else will come of this anime as it has almost been a full decade since its airing.

But yeah, cute story. Nothing more I really want to say. If you want to watch this anime, it’s only available to watch on Hi-dive.

Now then, let’s watch something a little more near and dear to my heart besides high school romance in art class.

GAMBLING AND CRAZY BITCHES TIME!

Common Japanese Surname Kanji

In conjunction with my “Creating a Japanese name for your character” post, I decided to make a list of the common kanji found in traditional Japanese surnames (as well as a couple of characters that have those kanji in their names!). If you’re looking for a kanji to fill out your character’s family name (if you only have one kanji and need another one, for example) or if you’re looking for some help or inspiration, hopefully this post will help!

A reminder just in case anyone needs it: Japanese surnames typically describe a place or the origin of the family it belongs to, for instance if a family came from a “forest origin”, their name might be Morimoto. Or someone from a “snowy village” would be Yukimura. MHA names are not quite so literal or realistic (like Usagiyama “rabbit mountain”), and are meant to be a little more fun.

Keep in mind that this is not a complete or comprehensive list, and that these are NOT all the readings for the kanji. Some of these kanji have different nanori that were not included in this list.

Also a quick note in case anyone was wondering:

When to use KAMI vs. GAMI, SAWA vs. ZAWA, etc.?

Sometimes when you put two kanji next to each other in a name, the second kanji has a different pronunciation/reading. Why? The short answer is, it’s easier to pronounce that way. So some short rules:

Putting two or more kanji together is like a compound word in English, and when you “link” those kanji together, sometimes the latter kanji sounds different (NEVER the first kanji though).

Most kana have a “voiced” (dakuten) version and some have a “half-voiced” (handakuten) version, but it’s mostly the “voiced” version that occurs in pronunciation/spelling when “linking” two kanji.

“ka” ⟶ “ga”, “ki” ⟶ “gi”, etc.

“sa” ⟶ “za” (note: “shi” ⟶ “ji”)

“ta” ⟶ “da” (note: “chi” ⟶ “ji/dji” and “tsu” ⟶ “zu/dzu”)

“ha” ⟶ “ba” or “pa” (though “pa” isn’t used for linking, it’s the “half-voiced” sound)

In the list of kanji above, the 2nd “spelling” for the kanji is the “voiced” pronunciation, for your ease!

Not every linked kanji will change its sound. It’s probably subjective to whoever came up with the family name to begin with, but basically the sounds will be voiced if the person who has the name thinks it flows better as a voiced sound.

Remember that while you might not hear a huge difference in “Ota” and “Oda” or something, there are different nuances in Japanese language that native speakers will pick up that you will not. You might not understand why some names “link” the sounds and others don’t, but to native speakers it makes sense.

In the case of MHA names though? I’d say don’t worry about it too much. Go with the flow of whatever sounds best--or whatever puns the best. (Like Mina Ashido’s surname! Typically it’s pronounced Ashito, but Ashido sounds a lot more like “acid” than Ashito does, right? :D)

Want to read more on the subject of name kanji, know about their history/culture, and look at some examples? Here’s a couple links to a few other sites that list more kanji and readings than what was included on this list too, as well as more info on the spellings and kanji “linking”: [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 ]
