"Once upon a time, in a world where mermaids would sing sailors to their deaths, making them feared and hated by the humans. A young servant girl would find an unlikely friend in the ruins of an abandoned ship. Will their friendship rise against the test of time or fall in the pressure of their nature?"
A bit of a random, underrated take.
I like how Mare and Evangeline's animosity toward each other is not caused by them wanting the same man, a.k.a. the Calore brothers, but simply the clashing of two alphas trying to out-alpha each other whenever an opportunity presents itself.
How dare you...😠

The Summer Hikaru Died Chapter 48.4
The Summer Hikaru Died Chapter 34
I'm so curious as to what the other side would look like, given Yoshiki will be joining "Hikaru" and their memories would influence the appearance of the other side. And since "Hikaru" would consume/let pass the entities through him to get them to the other side to hopefully join back into the life cycle again, instead of closing the hole like last time, which makes me worry: how will those two get out, or firstly, will they even get that far as to free almost all the souls that are stuck in the hole before it tries to fight them?
I'm so worried for all of them...🥲

TSHD/HGSN Chapter 32.1
When you're about to enter a hole made up of all the eyes and souls sacrificed over the centuries in hopes of preventing another catastrophe and saving the villagers, but you've just reunited with your beautiful goop boi and you're feeling romantical✨️.

Oh boy, did I miss these questionable conversation starters that would catch anyone (non-TSHD watcher, anime watcher, or even manga reader) off guard in The Summer Hikaru Died. Never change, Mokumokuren, never change.😌
TW: TSHD/HGSN Chapter 48.4 Spoilers
Well...damn
Side note: Very relieved that it doesn't look like clusters of eyes, me and my trypophobia ain't surviving that.
I know Cal is often labeled a dense, indecisive brickhead.
He rarely does anything unhinged compared to Mare and Maven, who were in an unofficial race on "Who gets to traumatize the other before one of them taps out (we all know who won and who survived)."
But whenever I see this photo of the Red Queen Limited Edition of these two dancing, staring into each other's eyes, I feel romance but also, doom. Because all I could think about was knowing that while he taught Mare how to dance under the moonlight. In the shadows he was building a sounder device to neutralize her if she ever went rogue. It was so effective that when Maven used the sounder, it left Mare incapacitated for days and made her see pink for a couple more.
Maven only brought that up once to Mare as a manipulation tactic and never again. Not in the epilogue scene in King's Cage, where Mare and Cal were in a moral disagreement. Not even in Cal's POV in War Storm did he ever think of or feel guilty about what his invention did to the woman he loves.
I swear, I'm still upset at how his character and writing were handled, but at the same time, relieved that Cal did not get his hands on enough resources to create a deadly weapon, especially with his earlier belief that the "ends justify the means."
Side note: With how the sounder operates and Cal at one point mentioned to Mare that she reminded Julian of his mother, Coriane, Cal most likely gathered information from Julian on how Mare's abilities work and insisted on Mare training with them to keep a close eye on her and gauge her limitations.

Maven rarely gets invited to sleepovers, not because his mom is a strict, overbearing helicopter control freak and he acts like a know-it-all brat, but mostly because they woke up in the middle of the night to see this blue-eyed beauty sleeping next to them like this:
When a Giant Eye is growing threateningly large on a mountain that could potentially harm every villager in the town, but your beloved Eldrich Goop is back by your side, in a good mood and wearing clean, intact clothes, you need to serve him a genuine smile and words of affirmation.

He got 99 problems, but at least they're together👬
🙃 Don't remind me, dude. Even Yuuki and Maki have forgotten Yoshiki a few hours before the fireworks. Like, Yoshiki's dad is the only person who seemed to remember him, AND I'm still stressing about those two closing that giant eye portal. Asako seeing the impurities and Tanaka facing off against Satou. 🥲🥲🥲
"HIKARU" IS BACK! HIS OTHER HALF IS BACK! HE AND YOSHIKI ARE BACK!
TW: TSHD/HGSN Chapter 48.3 Spoilers
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY! HIS WHIMSY IS BACK!!! Look at him! Look at him gleefully pointing at the spot where heads disappear. WE ARE SO BACK! LET'S GO!
Oui oui, "Hikaru" enjoys eating so much that his comparison image shows him with slightly fuller cheeks. Yoshiki needs to carry like 12 pcs of Shiitake buns with him at all times. ☺️ Feed your eldrich.

I just love the not-so-subtle signs that Mokumokuren is being very hands-on with the anime adaptation. I love this series. 🥲🫠
"Hikaru" getting his Welcome Home 🥹
I remember a post about this anime original scene from TSHD episode 11, where "Hikaru" is being welcomed home by Momma Yuki, and on the surface, it's a heartwarming scene between a mother and a son, but given "Hikaru's" guilty expression, he knows the "Welcome home" and the gentle smile aren't for him; they're for Hikaru.
The Summer Hikaru Died Episode 11
That's why this moment is so impactful for "Hikaru" cause now he knows her kind words and caring gestures are directed at him. Momma Yuki sees "Hikaru" as he is and acknowledges him as her own.

Still not over this scene and just this chapter in general...
TW: The Summer Hikaru Died Chapter 48.3
I'm not surprised at all that these were her first words to "Hikaru." Especially with her unresolved grief over how her husband disappeared and was later declared deceased, with no clue where he is. She has every right to at least know what happened to her son. Where is Hikaru?
I couldn't fathom the sheer amount of grief, shock, pain, and loneliness that fell on her in just the span of a few hours. Cause she lost her husband and, unknowingly, her son soon after, her immediate family was gone, and she is facing this deity that took over her son's body. That is a lot to process in a short amount of time.
Yet, here she is, hugging "Hikaru" and accepting him as her "son" as well, even when she barely has any clue what kind of kid he was. Momma Yuki, the strong, lovely being that you are.
