at this point, if i were a practicing physician or psychiatrist, i would give every patient that reported idiopathic and treatment resistant syndromes of this type a modestly-dosed magnesium pill, a vitamin c pill, famotidine and ceterizine for a month before trying anything else. i am going to say with confidence we will see a big swing back towards "actual real physical etiologies have been abandoned in favor of a purely psychological-traumagenic and individualist theory of mental illness and its treatment and this was a mistake".
obviously mental illness is real and exists, and it often responds to psychoactive medication, im not debating that. im saying there are also a lot of diagnosed-crazy people (not everyone!) including myself who are walking around with mast cell disorders, collagen disorders, occult infections and basic vitamin deficiencies which are, if not entirely responsible for the mood/personality/cognitive disorder, making things a lot worse.
i do love when a movie depicts a fucked up body horror origin story. yeah i was amorphous sand for a while. yeah i was a walking nervous system for a while
I am so utterly fascinated by โSakiโ, the 18-year-running mahjong manga in which you, the reader, become gradually, frog-boilingly aware (over the course of nearly two decadesโ worth of mahjong tournaments) that none of these girls are wearing underwear and most of their boobs are slowly expanding.
I need you to understand that I have, like, an anthropological level fascination with this comic. From the perspective of someone who is also a comic artist and writer, two things delight me about it:
the fact that I understand completely how an artist gets from โthe fans can have a little hint of skirted asscheekโ to โthe pussy is completely out on center pageโ over the course of 18 years; and
the way in which the pussy being out is treated by the characters and diegesis as being utterly unremarkable.
Okay. Point 1. The frog-boiling.
Let me put this in perspective for you. There was already a meme about how the characters in โSakiโ donโt wear underwear when I was in middle school. I am thirty now. Okay? And itโs still going.
In the time since, this has stopped being a joke. It is now indisputable canon. This is not because anyone outright says it at any point. Itโs because the underwear ran out of places to hide. Iโm obsessed with this thought: somewhere in the over 20 volumes of โSakiโ, there is a panel in which underwear was objectively deconfirmed. And it would be so hard to figure out where that panel actually is. Maybe the artist didnโt even realize it when she drew it! The frog? Boiling!!
And of course there is also the breast expansion. I donโt know how to put a spin on this. They are just expanding. Like, this happens a lot with artists: you define a character as being, in your mind, โthe one with the big boobsโ, and over the years you emphasize that trait further and further so that the signal doesnโt get lost in the noise. Itโs just that normallyโin like a wildly popular manga series about mahjong published by literally Square Enix, for exampleโnormally there would be a point at which the boobs stopped getting bigger. Like, an editor would step in or something. Or you would get to the point where you cannot draw the character in the same panel as her mahjong tiles without her breasts spilling over the tiles, and youโd go, โWell, this is now untenable.โ
That did not happen. There is no ceiling. The frog is soup.
Point 2. The complete and utter mundanity of all of this.
Itโs like this, okay: thereโs no shortage of trashy ecchi manga out there. Thereโs a million other comics doing wildly bawdier things with wildly more improbable bishoujos.
The vibe with โSakiโ is different.
Itโs hard to explain this, but it feels like the world of the comic is fundamentally uninterested in the fanservice happening on the page. I cannot describe it as โleeringโ, because I cannot conceive of a person in the story from whose point of view one would leer. I think the artist is probably into itโI canโt imagine anyone is making her do thisโbut โSakiโ the comic has no opinion on the matter.
There are essentially no male characters in โSakiโ. Like, there was one guy? Kind of? At the very beginning? But he is gone now. They put him back in the toybox. He does not exist. It appears to be some level of canonical that in the world of โSakiโ, almost all humans are women. Those women are sometimes romantically into each other. According to comments the artist has made on Twitter (which I cannot source), they have lesbian baby technology, so itโs no problem. Itโs so much not a problem that the story is about mahjong, instead of any of that.
So, like, the fiction here appears to be this: this is the, like, meta-narrative of the fanservice of โSakiโ, right: itโs just normal that they donโt wear underwear and their boobs are arbitrarily big. Itโs been normal. It was normal before the story of the manga began. Itโs just how things are. Nobody bats an eye about it, and if they do, itโs in sort of a lesbian kind of way so like whatโs the problem, we love lesbians here. This is literally normal for girls.
The fanservice simply diffuses into this all-encompassing aura of disembodied, ambient sluttiness. The framing of the panels demands you acknowledge it, and the story demands you already be over it, because itโs mahjong time now, and weโre playing mahjong.
Do you get??? why Iโm so fascinated??? Are you not a little enraptured???
Anyway, I have no idea how to end this weird post. I guess the conclusion is that women stay winning????
I have so many questions... How does one SUSPECT a manga character isn't wearing underwear? Like, sure, boobs are front and center amd you can see them get bigger panel by panel but how does this work for panties? Are there just that many upskirt shots?
Also how do you keep a manga about Mahjong going for 18 years, what??

Road rage is so bad because it's the same rage anyone would feel at a computer working wrong, (slow internet, program not doing what you want, whatever), but it raises the stakes to "possibly literally life or death".
Basically it works by containing the power of the mexigan jumping bean to fire the cylanders inside of the wheel hydraulics and create a massive jumping force
Had a dream a dragon mutual sent me a dm like "hey i jusr wanted to let you know you should kill everyone in your situation" followed by a "sorry the dragon rage took over"
