I love that Ashita no Joe utilized this narrative structure. I don't know if Kajiwara/Chiba did this on purpose or if they just did it intuitively, but a chiastic structure (ring composition) is a classic narrative technique and it's used even in small moments here. It's found in many famous works of literature and it is a brilliant technique. I don't know if anyone else has thought of this, but it's something I noticed!

And nooo I misspelled 'chiastic' as 'chiasmic'...well, please ignore that.

Here's a follow-up! I REALLY wonder how much of this was intentional and how much was intuitive.

Ashita no Joe is symmetrical! Symmetrical!

“Lord Byron gets up at two. I get up, quite contrary to my usual custom … at 12. After breakfast we sit talking till six. From six to eight we gallop through the pine forest which divide Ravenna from the sea; we then come home and dine, and sit up gossiping till six in the morning. I don’t suppose this will kill me in a week or fortnight, but I shall not try it longer. Lord B.’s establishment consists, besides servants, of ten horses, eight enormous dogs, three monkeys, five cats, an eagle, a crow, and a falcon; and all these, except the horses, walk about the house, which every now and then resounds with their unarbitrated quarrels, as if they were the masters of it… . [P.S.] I find that my enumeration of the animals in this Circean Palace was defective … . I have just met on the grand staircase five peacocks, two guinea hens, and an Egyptian crane. I wonder who all these animals were before they were changed into these shapes.”

— Percy Bysshe Shelley on the lifestyle of Lord Byron (via timemarauder)

the fun thing about having a mental health crashout in your thirties is that sure yeah you're crashing out, but at the same time there's a part of you standing across the room smoking ben affleck style, going yeah yeah you're crashing out. you crashed out before you will crash out again can we wrap this up yet. and the most annoying part about it is that they're right, and that that does Not stop you from crashing out even a little. love and light on planet earth.
