Da Tang Pi Zhu Ji, The Pearl's Chronicles in the Tang Dynasty, or whatever title they change it to post production of the live action, caught me by the throat last week & i binged the entire series within the week. which was just under 240 chapters? something like that

cute story for most of it, interesting premise. tomb-robber robs the freshly built imperial tomb of the late dynasty's princess who died from unfortunate circumstances at a young age & when he digs her tomb up, he finds that she's been buried alive. it's a very T for Teen story up until it's not when the plot pivots & changes perspectives to a mercenary sent to guard one of the princes

& i'm going to go back & reread that part specifically but huoqi-lang is Such a sex pest & it was So refreshing to see a grown woman behaving like a grown man & the vast majority of the characters not really batting an eye about it because the character is hired help on the same mission as them. her androgyny & her bisexuality are so important to me for reasons i can't articulate very well. the way it's not this passive ability she possesses, but it's something she actively does. pursues women & men in equal measure for the fun of it.

& that while she continues to pursue one of the most valued and important people in the book by the end of it, that there's no indication that she ever stops her proclivities and inclination towards just being a sex pest to the general public. i love her, your honor

“Kunimasa is literally a sacrificial lamb” THAT’S WHY THERE’S A SWITCH-UP IN PERSONALITY THIS LATEST VOLUME

He Knows something we don’t & instead of being a mature adult (he’s a damn kid there was No chance in hell he was Gonna be a mature adult), he’s choosing to go out with a Bang and live his life as if he were just a normal kid with a normal relationship and normal expectations and living out the fantasy Norio had wished for since the first volume

[qourmet]

"i don't get why this series pivoted to side stories totally unrelated to the main characters" valid! totally understandable! but have you considered they're actually relevant to the main characters and what the author has in store for them

this is about kotobuki tarako's "love pistols," btw

i'm doing like. a lot of personal logging on the canon of this series & it's undeniable that this series took a Hard pivot from trashy yaoi BL romance that it initially started out as to something more mid-fantasy Drama (that still has outdated trashy romance reminiscent of the 00s-anime shoujomance genres), i'm not going to deny that (it happened around volume 5-6ish). & people's gripes with this series gets Really compounded around volume/s 9-10 cos the story Absolutely segues away from Norio & Kunimasa to whatever it is that Manami & his groupies are getting up to at any one given moment

but i think there's a strong possibility that whatever is going on in these two volumes has a lot to do with whatever it is that one of the original duetagonists, Madarame Kunimasa, is clandestine to do for the rest of his natural life.

for the fact that this series gets a published volume once every 3-5ish years (at least in the english-speaking sphere), there are so many plot threads that just don't have conclusive ends, such as:

What is the importance of the Madarame family/clan and why are they such strong central and political figures within the canon?

Why is Madarame Kunimitsu (Kunimasa's grandfather & Makio's father) so pivotal to the plot of the series? I get it's because he's some Big Bad that stands in the way of his children's happiness, but outside of that plot, where does his importance lie in the wider world? What makes him so important?

And what does Kunimitsu want specifically with his chosen heir? What legacy will that heir be expected to shoulder?

going through the 10th volume is giving me some major déjà vu for the 7th volume & eldest son daughter Shinobu's story with Pride First, of a plot line with a character of the Madarame bloodline (Shinobu) tasked with monitoring & keeping track of a volatile True Soul and either tweaking it or altogether locking it in order to prevent any kind of self/destruction. It's a task/job Makio (another blood Madarame) has been observed being a part of multiple times throughout the series, & in volume 10 there is a blood-Madarame (Mibu) who is tasked with monitoring & locking a particularly volatile True Soul, alongside his partner Omikado

my point is all of this points to a potential future for Kunimasa where he becomes inducted to this specific family business & his need for a particularly hearty partner to both procreate & work with. Either that or that Kunimasa is a very literal sacrificial lamb that will have to be saved by his over-eager boyfriend operating like a magical girl protagonist.

What Do HuliJings Eat, Wrong Answers Only apparently

@cerbykerby just gives & gives idk what to tell you

[saisai-chan]

soooo i'm thinking about maybe reading/watching eyeshield 21. could you maybe lend some insight as to what could make it appeal to the reader/watcher? like, what would make me enjoy it? also, do you recommend the manga or the anime? i know this was a lot, sorry. but thanks!

oh god, don’t watch the anime LOL it doesn’t adapt the manga well at all.

read the manga. it’s drawn by the same guy who’s currently redrawing the One Punch Man series, Yusuke Murata. the art is fantastic.

as for the story, it’s sounds like a run of the mill series, but that’s where the normalcy ends. the Quarterback of the American Football Club (aka Hiruma Youichi) uses things like blackmail, kidnapping, and shooting people with one of his (many) guns in order to get people to join or do things for him, and that’s just the beginning.

Hiruma kidnapping Monta.

please note, Hiruma’s name means “Devil in Plain Sight.”

the series is crazy fun and it’s got a TON of energy, heart, and action. the characters are all unique and fantastic- as mentioned, the quarterback carries a mini artillery around with him at all times, and he has enough blackmail on people that he owns his own island. (it never comes up, but it’s canon). 

HELL, AT ONE POINT, TWO OF THE CHARACTERS CHASE A MOTORCYCLE DOWN, AND WIN.

then there’s Sena, the main character, who’s incredibly cowardly at first and only good at running–which is GREAT for becoming the new running back of the team, which is why Hiruma wants him on the team. and then the catcher is Monta, a short guy who looks more like a monkey than a highschool student, and the only thing he’s good at is catching.

Each team they face has their own theme, some examples being the Deimon Devilbats (main characters), Oujo White Nights, Seibu Wild Gunman, Taiyo Sphinx, Kyoshin Poseidon, Bando Spiders, etc. and when a team has a theme, it goes ALL OUT. with attacks, outfits, and the school even designed to fit into it. 

and each character is completely unique with their own weird quirks and talents and backstories. and all the main characters get their own moment to shine with their own development and growth, even a lot of the characters from opposing teams. in fact, sometimes you can’t help but root for the opposing teams.

trust me when I say that you don’t have to understand football at ALL in order to enjoy the series. It takes you through babysteps so you understand the basic rules and such, and then it goes completely off the rails. 

i’ve never cared about football before reading this manga, and even after i can’t say i have much of an interest. but the series ALWAYS gets me pumped up about it whenever i read it. it’s a series that gets me invested in a sport i don’t even care about.

the series is just fantastic and crazy and full of a lot of fun and heart and emotion. the art is BEAUTIFUL and the characters are all so enjoyable to watch. it’s seriously a great series.

and also, Hiruma is hilariously, insanely chaotic. 

(he’s actually super smart too, but he uses stuff like mind games and crazy plays in order to intimidate his opponents and to catch them off guard. and it’s beautiful.)

anyway, 

please read Eyeshield 21. it’s fantastic. i promise you won’t regret it

The thing I wanna know about Wei "I am missing an entire internal organ and no one can ever know" Wuxian is. How did he manage to keep that under wraps when literally the primary mode of transit in his social circle is flying sword. We know he was still going to parties and stuff. "I forgot Suibian at home" can only work as an excuse so many times. Was he just dramatically late to every event so no one had to see him arriving on foot. Was he taking the bus.
