My Top YasuBou moments

Okay so there are the obvious flirty moments that get ~no homo'd~ in canon, and the Those Two Guys moments where they're just riffing on each other, but a lot of my favorite moments between them are the ones that hint at something more serious, the trust and admiration between them, so without further ado--

right from the beginning!! this Very Serious moment, and everything hinges on the premise that he cares for Yasuhara. not saying it's romantic right from the start, but that's some quick bonding...

(he's begging)

"it was really, really difficult" but he did it, he left a whole-ass job behind because Bou-san relies on him

listen I also love the panels before and after this--Bou-san making light of his injuries at first to avoid alarming people, and then both of them turning it into a joke to lighten the mood. but I also love that quiet, serious moment in between.

AND THIS ONE. it's practically Yasuhara's m.o. at this point, the light-hearted insistance on getting his own way, and I love 1) Bou-san's aggravation because he totally recognizes it and he's aggravated at being a target and concerned for Yasuhara's safety, 2) the very Married storming off "do whatever you want!" and 3) again that shift to seriousness. Bou-san is trying to protect him by keeping him from going down to the sea cave, and he's just like nope, nope, I'm protecting you this time.

posted this the other day--Dad 1 getting annoyed at the kids' bickering, Dad 2 soothing him because that's just what they're like, dear, let them blow off steam

I love this totally in-sync joint interrogation. Yasuhara gets the ball rolling by drawing Naru in, then Bou-san takes over.

"you're a perfect flirter. always works on me."

bonus: still waiting on a non-flirtatious reason for that flower changing hands...

So I finished Ghost Hunt again

and I just realized

This is not just a cute panel to end the manga. The way they are positioned, everyone looking back as if they’re looking at someone. At us. Because they are.

Right here, at this moment we are Mai.

We see the mischevious Yasuhara with a rare smile. What are you doing all the way back there?

We see John’s openness, how he angles toward us. We won’t leave you behind.

Takigawa’s ‘just-checking’ posture. It’s like he’s waiting for Mai to run up to him, to hug him. I’ll always be here.

Ayako with the classic head tilt. Don’t go making trouble back there.

Masako, the closest to us. Her smile is warm if a little sad. Let’s walk together.

Lin, the fact that he’s turned back at all is a call to how much he cares. I see you.

Naru’s smile, the smug peek over his shoulder. I know you will follow.

This isn’t a group ‘goodbye’. This is a group ‘until next time’ and it’s hitting me right in the feels.

Crap quality but i rewatched Ghost Hunt for the 1001st time and felt the need to draw my favorite bass guitar playing Monk

Bou-san: I am a person who likes to think things through.

Ayako: Since when? I once saw you eat a marshmallow that was still on fire.

Bou-san's got this really chill aura, so loose fitting clothes suit him best. I had to take a screenshot on mobile... Is it blurry?
