"I love you." Ritsu Onodera, April 2024

I love coffee, books, and Masamune Takano; not necessarily in that order.

Hello! I'm a long time sih/jr fan. I was hoping to maybe get a link to the main lame scans server so I could talk with other fans? I have tried every link on reddit, discord, and tumblr that I could find and they all seem to be invalid!

I'm currently only in the release server however that's just for releases and not for social interaction.

Unfortunately I am no longer in the server, but I’ll ask my friend who is still a mod if they can hook you up!

[literally-ritsu]

Oh shit I have to change my description

[literally-ritsu]

NO FUCKING WAY I THINK HE FINALLY SAID THE LINE

[literally-ritsu]

Ritsu: Fuck my boss

Takano, throwing up his hands in frustration: What do men want!

[literally-ritsu]

Tf is this?

[literally-ritsu]

Bruh I don’t even like this goddamn manga anymore but I poured years of my life into this bs better believe I’m gonna be popping bottles when RitsuBitch finally confesses

[literally-ritsu]

So have these bitches confessed yet?

Favourite colour: Orange. Like, traffic cone orange

Last song: I've been listening to multi-hour eurobeat mixes on youtube, BUT the last single song I listened to was The Cult of Dionysus by The Orion Experience

Currently reading: Real book-wise I'm still reading The Girl from Widow Hill by Megan Miranda. For manga/manhua I've been keeping up with Chainsaw Man and Netkama Punch! and for webnovels I've been reading The Villain's Attack Plan and The Swordmaster's Youngest Son pretty religiously.

Last movie: I tried to watch Piggy (2022) today, but the last movie I actually sat and watched and finished was Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken (it was supposed to be background noise but I was very distracted by the animation style cuz it reminds me of those kroger commercials but with actual artistic passion behind it)

Sweet/spicy/savoury: I like them all, but the best are sweet/spicy combos and savory food.

Currently working on: I typed out an answer for this yesterday that was about me bugproofing my apartment because the bugs coming in from outside are getting really annoying. Today, though, I'm doing adult things like setting up my student loans account and taking phone call interviews from the government and making cookies. In a long-term sense I'm working on myself because I haven't really had a creative bone in my body since winter so no big projects.

tagging um. @literally-ritsu @ravenpureforever @suddenlycoveredinhens and @waltzfantasia if you guys feel like it

Hi Mari ily 💜

Favorite color: purple! Like this ——>💜

Last song: last song I listened to was Dandelions by Ruth B. I… like it a lot and want to dance to it with a certain someone 😳

Currently reading: Uhhhh lots of renga fanfics lmao, and if it counts, the webtoon My Starry Sky. A few weeks ago I reread Heesu in Class 2. Been binge reading a lot of comfort things lately it’s a good time.

Last Movie: I went to see The Sound Of Freedom, last Sunday. I thought I was gonna throw up, but it was well made and super powerful.

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: I may have a sweet tooth on occasion but you best believe I am here for savory & spicy supremacy 😤

Currently working on: Well, currently is a bit generous, but I am idly jotting down what is eventually going to be an original novel a few sentences at a time. Check back in a few years 😅

Thank you for the tag Mari but I was gonna tag my wife and you did it first so we have beef now 🔪

[literally-ritsu]

Do you still have the link for your server?

Hello! If you mean the SIH server, I’m actually no longer a member. Sorry about that!

[literally-ritsu]

Okay but no because listen I need y’all to hear me I have so many thoughts about Taiga Hirano it’s driving me insane:

The thing is that Hirano loves Kagi.

So much. So earnestly. He wants to see Kagi happy and make Kagi happy. He wants to stay by Kagi’s side for as long as he possibly can. Kagi inspires him to do his best and that’s only something that can be called love.

The thing is also that Hirano is not in love with Kagi.

(Yet.)

They do love each other. That’s never in question. But right now Kagi’s love is a lit bonfire (bright; consuming; get too close and you’ll get burned) and Hirano’s love is candlelight that’s barely starting to flicker into existence (soft; steady; needs just a bit more effort to get started) and they are both love but only in the same way the sun and the moon are both light.

At the moment, Hirano isn’t where Kagi is. He has no idea what it means to love someone romantically. He’s getting there, slowly, but Kagi is already so far ahead of him that anything stronger Hirano does start to feel has the potential to come off as a reflection of Kagi’s love instead of his own independent feelings and that comes with its own set of problems.

I don’t know if the manga will actually go there, but I can definitely see Hirano struggling even once he does accept that he has some type of feelings for Kagi. I think he’s going to worry a lot.

Do I like you?

Or do I like that you like me?

(We all know the answer of course, but it’s always easier to say that from an outside point of view)

Am I making any sense?

Tl;dr: Hirano’s journey to discovering “What the fuck is romance” has me in a chokehold and feels like looking in a mirror he is so aro/demi coded that it’s not even funny oh my god.

(Am I just aro-ish myself and hardcore projecting?)

(The world may never know)

The first time Kagi tells Hirano he’s in love with him, his stomach rips itself from above his intestines and plummets somewhere far beneath the dark, cold earth faster than a lightning strike.

Hirano has never been what any sane person would refer to as in touch with his feelings.

(Or: I think people are way too hard on Hirano and I think he’s in some heavy denial but what do I know)

This one is FANTASTIC. Anything that portrays nostalgia even .05% more realistic than they actually are is Brilliant.

This one is so good and I never even really got into hybrid child but it’s amazing

This one owns my fucking soul and I reread at least once a year (but probably more often)

And this entire series is absolute gold! Pure nostalgia shenanigans!

There are others… but I’ll never publicly admit to them 😉

In waiting for sih updates I’ve started to read other bl too. Have you read Sasaki and Miyano?

OMG!!!!!! When the anime came out I was kind of skeptical about it and put it off for a while, but then I was curious and gave in and I love it so much!!!!!!! I just started reading the manga it is so precious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
