"it's my comfort media" and the media in question is the most angsty, tragic, heartbreaking shit you've ever consumed

nabari no ou has unique approach to many of its themes, but the most interesting one is miharu's story arc. like, his mom had basically said to him "don't love anybody, you might lose them and it'll hurt super bad", then she died and he spent years being depressed and apathetic, keeping his distance with everyone. then he meets a person he accidentally falls in love with (platonically or romantically, it doesn't matter) and he can't be apathetic anymore, but then he loses them pretty much immediately. and it hurts so so fucking bad. so bad, that the universe is kinda fucked up now. like, bitch, your mom has warned you! but yknow, the moral of the story is that even if it hurts, it's still much better than not to care. so, don't listen to your mom (but she was right). cool, bye.

So I started reading nno recently, and when I got to Yoite's introduction late in volume 1, it unexpectedly unearthed a long-forgotten memory from deep in the back of my brain.
Back in like 2013, I got really into the world of D.Gray-man fanart/fan comics on deviantart, which led me to something called ✨The Miserable Anime Boys Club✨. This was a goofy crossover comic about the extra-tormented male main characters of various series coming together to form a support group of sorts.
I don't think I'd ever heard of nno before finding that comic, but Miharu and Yoite were both recurring characters in it, so this was functionally my introduction to the series. They kinda stuck out to me despite being minor background characters, especially Yoite. In particular, Yoite's fucking hat burned itself into my brain, to the point that just seeing the original version was enough to dredge the memory of this comic up from the abyss.
This is because Yoite's hat was drawn like this:
I don't think he ever once spoke in the comic, and they never showed his eyes. He was just there lurking silently in his giant hat.
Please come experience this relic of my tweenage years with me

i’m just saying, if you’re growing weary of the fast paced shounen, where you’re not allowed to mourn and sit with the loss of beloved characters, nabari no ou is right there.

Okay so here it is
For the past 2-3 months I've been working on a little passion project of mine.You see my love for spreadsheets has no bounds so I've decided to make this: a spreadsheet documenting all nno fics from ao3 along with all the percentages and other info as a sort of end of year treat :)
The stuff below is just me rambling about some of the workings v
This is quite the improvement from the last spreadsheet I made (blue period). My main issue was relying too heavily on the ao3 filters which would miss out info making it inacurrate. So what did I do. Sat down and documented every single fic in the fandom as to not miss anything out. It was quite long let me be real. But I managed to get everything I wanted down. I still think the last spreadsheet was more diverse since I cut out a few categories BUT instead I focused on the authors since they deserve the world <3.
Anyways enough from me hope you enjoy this and have a happy new year wherever you are 🎉
