𝆹𝅥 HAPPY SUGAR LIFE

All his life it has been dedicated to his family, ever since he was a child he tried his best to help his mother, to don't be an extra burden in his mother's shoulders and it was until Shio was born that Asahi was able to know what was to have light in his life, he loves his mother, of course he does, but it was Shio who brought the light and happiness to their lifes

He would do anything for his family, he went away from home in an attempt to find a way to save his family just to lost everything, it was too much to handle but he was always sure that finding Shio again would be able to repair his broken life, and it was in the process of searching for his little sister when he have come across of you

At first it was nothing, just another person who he asked about any useful information of his sister, but you keep bumping into each other over and over again, and at the end you started to make small chats with him in those little encounters. It doesn't matter is if that sympathy or pity, Asahi didn't cared nor appreciate it at the start, he was busy and didn't wanted to waste time when his precious little sister was lost, but it was when he finally took the time to look at you that he realiced that you were someone special

You are a bright light iluminating his dark and cold life, you came with all your kindness to warmth up his life just like when Shio was born, and it was then when his obsesive love grew in an instant, he have already lost too much things to lose you too! He didn't even realiced how hard he was holding your arm the moment he realiced it as he was just stuck in his spiral of anxiety and fear, he apologized and let go of you just because he doesn't want you to end up having a bad impression of him, he needs you in his life but he doesn't want to extinguish that precious light that you radiate with, Asahi will try to hold back his feelings as much as he can for now just so he won't lose you too

The problem is that Asahi can't handle his feelings, he is obsesive and paranoid, by the moment he have realized how special you are he have been unable to stop thinking about you, his sister is momentarely forgotten as he is too busy following you around, he is slowly memorizing everything he is able to about you and your life, needed to be as close as posible but not making his presence obvious since he doesn't want to weird you out

Asahi tried to talk to you more and more, slowly winning you over out of pity (wich he didn't do it on purpose) as he ends up telling you about the hardships he has been throught just to tell you that your presence has been comforting, that you alone make him feel better, he is talking from the heart and with gentle words, he talks so sincerely that it is hard to notice the obsesive and twisted feelings from where this feelings come from

Asahi is paranoid, he is only calm when he follows you around and knows where you are and what are you doing, but the more time it passes the more his obsesive love grows and just following you around is not enough anymore, as much as it hurts him Asahi takes some time to be away from you just to be able to make up a plan, to be able to find a place to stay and a way to win enough money to support your life right before kidnapting you, he is not able to life without you and he will take you with but he swears he will not be like the man that gave him life, he rather be rip apart and be unable to see you ever again than end up being like that man

He is planning to continue searching with her sister once he has you, he wants his family back but he will not lose you now he will take you with him and then you, Shio and him will be a happy family

A/N: Little ago i read the chapter about the story of Shio's mom and everything it happened up until she abandoned Shio and i just say that now everything make sense, and that the Kobe family deserves way better ✋🏼🤚🏼

To The Unsung Heroes: Asahi Kobe

Of all the characters who deserve their own spin-off yet somehow never got one, this dude would absolutely be one such character.

Asahi Kobe is one of the main characters of Happy Sugar Life, and becomes probably the most major antagonist in the story by the end. As the main protagonist of this story is a terrible person who still has her nuances and decent qualities, it figures that Asahi is someone fundamentally decent who wants so badly to be a Good Guy but has darker qualities than he'd like to see in himself given his upbringing. As for why he and Satou would come into conflict with each other? Well, he's the big brother of Shio Kobe, the 8 year old kid Satou took in off the streets and is grooming to be her one true love. Yeah.

The firstborn child of Yuuna Kobe, born from when she got raped by his abhorrent, abusive louse of a father, Asahi hated seeing his mother suffer under his father's abuse and wanted to protect his baby sister from the worst of it, so he enabled his mother and sister to flee the house while he stayed there for five years, enduring routine emotional abuse and brutal physical torture from his father. One day he returns home to find his father dead from poisoning, and immediately after adjusts his goal to getting his family back together by finding Shio, who he learns from his mother that she'd left on her own when she began to fear she wasn't worthy of raising her, and also hopefully keeping his mother from getting sent to prison for murder, as it turns out she was the one who poisoined her husband.

What we see in the present day narrative of the series is continued suffering, misery, and failure for this poor kid. Despite his best efforts to locate his sister, despite his unwavering faith that his family can recover and he can at least find peace and love and true happiness with them, and despite his utter commitment to being a kind, strong, self-sufficient person, he ends up losing everything to a warped black hole called Satou Matsuzaka. Shouko Hida, who develops feelings of compassion and love for him and who he comes to cherish as well, is murdered by Satou after trying to help Asahi by taking photographic evidence that Satou has Shio staying in her apartment to send to his phone. Taiyou Mitsuboshi, the guy he initially believes might be an ally, turns out to not be that, and Asahi throws his own moral values to the wayside by physically torturing him and abandoning him at the mercy of another sexual abuser. When he confronts Satou and tries to take Shio back with him, Shio firmly chooses Satou over her own blood family. Even after Satou has died and there's nothing left standing between him and Shio, Shio proclaims to his face that he has all the love and happiness she needs just from carrying Satou's spirit and the memory of the "Happy Sugar Life" they had together inside her heart, leaving her family once more to go live for herself. To put it plainly, Asahi gambled terribly and in the end, he lost it all.

This sounds like just a miserable story of trauma and hardship and loss for a character so undeserving of it. But the thing is, when you look at everything in a larger narrative context and in the context of how different characters relate to one another, Asahi actually kind of did deserve to fail in the end. He was putting so much extra weight on his shoulders and pressing forward in his endeavor under very naive, fallacious, unrealistic thinking that Shio being his blood-related sister and their mother’s daughter, plus his due dilligence towards his family members and unwavering faith in a “happy family” outcome, and how much he endures while searching for her, was to be all the justification needed for Shio going with him back to their mother. Ignoring that this mother had traumatized Shio by emotionally and even (once) physically abusing her, abandoning her out on the streets in the rain, and making her think she was unloved and unwanted, so no amount of “but she’s a victim too who had good reasons for doing what she did!” from Asahi was going to make Shio want to go back to living a hellish life with that person, nor should it. While neither Yuuna or Asahi were ever close to the same level of abusive as the late, demonic Mr. Kobe, their own love for Shio was, in a way, another form of abuse for her. They put her on an impossibility high pedestal, exalting her for her purity, viewing her as their happiness, their hope, their shining "moon". Asahi saw her as the key to bringing the broken Kobe family back together and securing happiness for them, and was intent on bringing her with them whether she wanted it or not, too intent on placing way too much on his little sister’s tiny shoulders, all to relieve much of the burden for his mother he'd chosen to shoulder himself. He obsessively valued what his little sister was to him rather than who she was in general, something that Satou had learned to move beyond by the time she and Asahi had their big confrontation, which makes Shio choosing Satou over Asahi, to the point where Satou gets to have the last laugh even after dying, completely unsurprising. Asahi's quest was, in the end, the very definition of "ill-fated."

And yet, through all of that, Asahi nurses his wounds, keeps himself on his feet, and endures. How durable this kid is, physically, emotionally, and mentally, despite all the pain and trauma he's had to suffer through, is the most incredible thing about him. He's like a sugar jar that cracks a whole lot and even breaks a little, but never shatters. Similarly to Satou, he grew up in the worst environment, he would go to extreme lengths and even kill someone if he knew it would allow him to save Shio or Yuuna and do right by them. In spite of everything on the outside that burdens him, he is able to persevere in his constant internal struggle against all the trauma and inner pain his father’s abuse inflicted upon him, even after moments in which he lapses into that darkness within him and shows that he can behave in ways uncomfortably similar to his father. When he has to threaten someone, or even hurt them, Asahi is very much his father's son. But the fundamental difference between them: Asahi recognizes when he steps wrong. He becomes aware, pulls away, shows disgust, shame and remorse for having had that lapse, and makes a desparate assertion that he’s not like that monster, that he will not be like him. Such awareness of what he does and empathetic concern for the pain of the victim is something that was far beyond the late Mr. Kobe, but Asahi proves that his conscience still functions and guides him away from the path to becoming a cruel abuser like his father was.

Asahi's just a fantastic character who deserves more appreciation. And I gotta say, I prefer the way things at the end with him were handled in the anime compared to the manga, as it's given more ambiguity on how much time passed, Asahi’s tone when asking Shio to come meet with their mom outside and live with the family again is much more pleasant and less desperate, and we're not at any point shown Asahi still wandering the streets like a homeless bum, just looking out for lost animals that might end up like the sister he lost.
