ONS has always been a wild ride but how do I explain to non-manga readers that not only is this my OTP but somehow the cutest version of Mikayuu so far
Angel Mikaela and fluffy eyeball Yuu have been together and loved each other for thousands of years 😭😭😭

Lately I have noticed more and more people becoming aware of the state of Western OnS fandom, the fact that it seems like much of this fandom does not seem to understand anything about the series they proclaim to be their "favorite".
I too have noticed this for many years and have an opinion about it.
Therefore I will express what is my perspective on the situation and what I think is the reason for this state of affairs.
First,
" Kagami strongly believes that if a person knows their strong points, they should just write what they want to write, because their every work will find its fans. He, for one, would still want to write about family and meaning of life whatever his setting is, while Inoue would probably still be interested in friendship and fun in any work. So even if the two of them wrote about a bank worker, Kagami would still turn it into a story about family and meaning of life, while Inoue, as he says himself, would probably write about how much fun that bank worker has after work in to pub. "
This is an excerpt from an interview of Kagami Takaya with another Japanese author where they both talked about their works and what they like to write.
The OnS author loves to write about family and the meaning of life.In the same interview, he says how in his shonen series he focuses on deep friendships between boys and how he portrays these friendships as a "family", like a brotherly bond.
All these statements of the author find maximum resonance in the OnS series itself. The whole manga story is about family and the meaning of life. Sika Madu is, in fact, the father of all humanity. Then each individual character has a brotherhood with another character.
And the manga series explores this family love, brotherly especially, and the lack of this family love, what are the consequences of its presence or absence.
Very little in OnS is about erotic love, romance. We only get two developments of this kind of love: in Shinoa Hiiragi for Yuu and in the relationship between Mahiru and Guren. These themes are touched upon here, the importance and consequences of this kind of love.
Instead, OnS treats the other types of love in full.
The Greeks classified love into four types: erotic love (romantic), filia love (friendship), sorginte love (family), agape love (unconditional love for God and God's love for us).
OnS centers a lot on agape love, and sorginte love.
It is about the love of God, about the lack of love of the God of OnS world for the people who loved him, though. It is about family love, the lack of that kind of love, and the consequences of such a situation.
Sorginte love and agape love are central themes in OnS. Because both deal with themes beloved by the author: the family and the meaning of human life.
And the whole story fully manages to deal deeply with these two themes.
But from what I have observed, the western OnS fandom is not able to differentiate between these types of love. For most of the fandom, any kind of hate or love relationship falls into the "romantic" category of the erotic. It does not matter what kind of love the author portrays, for the fandom it all boils down to an exaggerated and sick romanticizing.
All types of love are just "eros" for fandom.
Why this?
Honestly, I think it is somewhat the fault of western society for its hypersexualization and the perversion of the educational system, which no longer explains the existence of different types of love, but insistently reduces everything to "romance".
This can also show the serious lack of genuine affection in today's society and how the desperate need for it turns into a sick romanticization of any kind of relationship presented in fiction.
In the end, sure, I think everyone has the right to view this series as they want. But trying to understand the author's message shows true sympathy for a series and pays off in the long run.
Projecting one's own ideologies and needs onto a series, to the point of completely distorting the story and even discrediting the author, only perpetuates a negative state of affairs and does not promise great benefits.
Unfortunately, I see more prominence of the second approach over the OnS series. And that is why this fandom is so toxic and gives off such an unpleasant vibe.
However, this does not change the OnS story itself. As Takaya Kagami also said in an interview, as he will only write what he feels regardless of what his fans ask, the author is very sure of the message he wants to convey.
And readers who want to see this message, I think, have plenty to enjoy in this wonderful series!
Thanks for reading this and have a good day to anyone who comes across this post!

my problem with owari no seraph's writing, from someone who's been reading it since 2016
finally decided to revive this blog after it sat untouched for years and collected copius amounts of dust.... just ignore my old posts LMAO
anyways, i have a small list of issues that i think i've already posted about before? but i wanted to compile them all, and add on anything i haven't mentioned before.
*small spoiler warning for recent chapters & light novel*
the countless neglected side plots and characters. i understand that every side story will eventually get its time to shine... but when? i don't think i'd have such a problem with it if the comic updated more often, but i understand that kagami has other scripts to write and it takes yamamoto time to draw the beautiful art. but it's been years since we last saw characters like lacus welt, rene simm, seishiro hiragi, chess belle, makoto narumi and horn skuld. i definintely think it's a huge shame that after being present for like, 50 or so chapters, they just... disappeared. hell, last time yoichi's plan to get revenge on lacus was mentioned was over 5 years ago. again, if the updates were faster i wouldn't have such a problem with it taking so many chapters to finally get to the side storylines. but i just feel like it's been way too long at this point... this has already been stated before, but the lack of mistuba, kimizuki, yoichi, and sometimes shinoa's respective stories being addressed is also really annoying. it feels like they've been completely forgotten and neglected and like the comic is just 'mika & yu + extras''. i want to see yoichi get his revenge on lacus, i want to see ferid's backstory, i want to see mitsuba's relationship with her sister branched out more, i want to see chess and horn and how they're relevant to crowley's story, i want to see where narumi ran off to, i want to see kimizuki's storyline with his sister, and i know these will be addressed eventually, but like... when? to add onto this, i feel like new storylines keep being added on without old ones being addressed. the whole thing with mika turning into a demon, turning into a sword, finding out the first's past, and all of that. but then again, it took us years to finally figure out the first's past, so i trust that these side plots will also eventually get addressed! it's just very messy, and all over the place.
2. the same lines being repeated over and over again. i swear to god every couple of chapters they go through the same dialogue of "we're going to revive everyone and save all of our family members and save the whole world" and i just feel like nothing really happens after that? just from chapters 100-130 it's been mentioned SO many times and i just. if i'm missing something i'd appreciate it if someone could just tell me at this point because i really don't see why the almost exact same dialogue has to be said so often. i am perfectly aware that the whole storyline revives around the importance of companionship, friendship, and love, but it just seems futile for the same exact thing to be stated so often. i think when it's SHOWN rather than just being told is really nice, like how krul and ashera's backstory was played out, or how the love between paimon and bael was shown. we can draw our own conclusions and interpret the story differently based on what we see rather than being spoonfed the same information over and over again. ashera basically cursed his sister because he couldn't fathom living without her, and bael ended his life because he couldn't fathom living without paimon. i think when the love and importance of the character's relationships with each other is shown like this, rather than the same dialogue being restated chapter after chapter, the story flows much smoother.
3. the lack of character development. again, if i've somehow missed it then please just tell me because i can't find it anywhere. specifically in yu's case, because it's been YEARS. i will say, in the early volumes of the manga i definitely saw him undergo a huge change, because before he got put in the demon army he had a very sour attitude and refused to make friends. but after he found his new family, he did a complete 180 and made it his life's mission to live for them and do anything to save them, mika included (later on) but again, that was years ago and since then i've honestly been unable to see much change in his behavior. despite the numerous times guren has shown himself to be a shifty, shady person that's hard to trust, it doesn't go through yu's head. even after they had that huge fight around chapter 112, his anger towards guren wasn't even about the fact that guren planned for his family to be murdered by ferid! he rarely listens to mika, and he generally just goes off and does whatever he likes. i UNDERSTAND that this is just part of his character and personality, but my god is it frustrating to watch... i will say though, him bowing to krul and requesting her help to save mika was a nice surprise that i didn't anticipate. i'd really like to see more of that! more of him listening to other characters who desperately try to help him, etc.
4. the way female characters are written and treated. i understand that this is a shounen manga, but the only female characters in the series being used for fan service gets on my nerves a LOT, especially since they're not really that well written in the first place. also the dialogue and interactions between them... i really really hate that majority of the conversations between just shinoa and mitsuba are played off as boob jokes or something when they could be having legitimate bonding moments and building their friendships. like i'm not gonna lie, shinoa is an absolutely FASCINATING character to me. but i want to see the girls interact with other girls outside of topics that have to do with a man or just making boob jokes!!! (i've only read volume 1 of the catastrophe manga,) but going off of that, the way there could've been so much more attention paid to sayuri's character for example but a lot of the spotlight on her just consisted of either a. her boobs being shown or b. somebody talking about her boobs. i'm not gonna lie, one of the first pages of the manga being a naked 14 year old girl was ....?? anyways. and how could i forget about chess and horn! they're vampires that're hundreds to thousands of years old, and they can't even fall in love or feel romantic desire, but the whole blushing thing while getting down on their knees to suck crowley's blood from his finger? chess getting jealous of horn for being able to suck his blood? hello? like... come on. i will say though, i really like how krul's character is written. in my opinion, she's an example of a well written female character.
an additional note that's not criticism: my opinions on the new art style are kinda 50/50... i feel like for the adult/older characters, the tiny eyes and sharper/more realistic features can make them look kinda weird sometimes, especially their front profiles. but for the younger/child/teen characters, i actually really like it and i feel like it suits them! not having their eyes take up half of their faces anymore looks good, and it can also be interpreted as physical growth.
anyways, there are so so so many things that i legitimately love about owari no seraph, so this isn't me just shitting on the entire series. i'm gonna follow it through to the end, and i'm excited to see how that goes! i just think the writing could use.... some work.
*please excuse any typos*

If I’m dead dead dead honest! I never really cared about Angel Mikaela until this very moment. He’s so kept in the dark and innocent that it’s practically a crime to have killed him (ironic how it’s not) I don’t hate either him or Paimon.

If I had a nickel for every time a blonde and black haired gay dou had to thru the tragedy of one of them dying in a fight to escape and then getting turned into a vampire I'd have two nickels. Not a lot but weird that it happened twice

Just thinking about how Yuu was going nuclear on everyone to find a way to save Mika without sacrificing everyone else and yet he was still more compassionate than Shinoa and Guren
Shinoa coldly ordered soldiers to destroy a base's food resources with no hesitation, Yuu decided against invading that base for food to find food somewhere else hopefully where he didn't inconvenience people. Let me repeat that for you, Shinoa ordered to destroy a base's food resources when they're in an apocalyptic set with very limited food and no water.
And then Guren, while I understand he was trying to make a point, he literally used a child as a human shield. Yes, Yuu stopped himself before hurting him and Guren proved his point, but why risk it? Why risk it when your last encounter had Yuu proving that you don't know him as well as you think you do? What was he gonna do if the child actually died?? Oh right, Guren doesn't really care much about sacrificing children if he has to.
Guren and the squad are making Yuu out to be a monster that's going insane yet he's currently the most kind and compassionate out of all of them. In a way, while I was very excited for it, it makes me glad that Yuu didn't end up having a corruption arc.
And I didn't talk about Mika but it drives me insane that all of them think it's Mika fault that Yuu is going against them just bc they refuse to believe Yuu would ever betray them, like, it must be Mika's fault, right??? (When they all have betrayed Yuu at some point before, hypocrisy much?) When Mika is actually on their side?? Or was before Yuu talked him into helping make a plan of their own. But still, Mika was literally the first one to tell Yuu it was fine to choose humanity over him right in front of all of them?? But Ig they just forgot about it smh
