#akihiko given

[pocchi-poket]

I'm reading the 10 years later given manga, and akihiko is the perfect description of the average artist's life

[yaoi-islife]

name: GIVEN

[thoughtssvt]

given - lost in translation

we know that when the band was just uenoyama, haru and kaji the band was named "the seasons" because they all have the kanjis for the seasons in their names, but here's the breakdown :

uenoyama : 立夏 (rikka - given name) meaning first day of summer

haruki : 中山 (haruki) ; 中 (haru) meaning spring

kaji : 秋彦 (akihiko) ; 秋 (aki) meaning autumn

they could've kept "the seasons" with the inclusion of mafuyu, too, since

真冬 (mafuyu) -> 真 (ma) - true ; 冬 (fuyu) - winter

but did you also know that pain is endless 🥲 because

although yuki's name uses the kanji 由紀 (yu - reason, cause ; ki - chronicle) it is also a homophone for 雪 (yuuki - snow)

so

"just like the snow in the shade that hasn't completely melted, i continue on with these feelings inside me" (first line of fuyunohanashi / a winter story / mafuyu's song)

winter can exist without the snow but snow can't exist without winter ദ്ദി ꒦ິ꒳꒦ິ )

🧡✨Given Hugs✨🧡

Words can’t express how much these hugs mean to me.

So tight you feel nothing bad will ever happen to you, a shield against the world.

So meaningful that not even a whole volume could say as much as they do in one frame.

They are regretful and apologetic, thoughtful and caring, envy and pity, sadness and love, embracing and understanding.

My addiction to this anime's absurd! I see and see over and over again without getting bored, every time the opening plays or I hear Mafuyu's voice singing, I shiver all over

So, when I'm watching Given, please don't disturb me
