I really really love how much insight chapter 36 sheds on this moment.

Because remember, Hagure-sensei used to draw really brutal manga before. This guy grew up witnessing a really brutal and cut throat world, and that was the world he ended up writing about.

And then he got fired, because no one liked it. No one cared about it. No one wanted to read it. That is, until two girls growing up in that same brutal and cut throat world came to his room, just to ask if the fictional girl he wrote managed to find happiness. That's what motivated him to complete the story.

And how do you even come up with an ending chapter so fast? Is it because deep down you had secretly hoped for the girl to find happiness yourself?

Is it because you hope for the two girls in front of your eyes to find happiness?

I just want everyone to know that these two are the reason Hagure-sensei draws happy manga in the first place.

And in the end, his wishes aren't unreciprocated. Gab explicitly wishes for his happiness as well, right alongside Asa's.

Personal connections are seriously one of Arakawa-sensei's strongest points as an author and it really shows.

Everything about Gab/Gabby from Yomi no Tsugai, Part 1

Part 2 here Part 3 here

A compilation of everything we know about Gab/Gabby (I prefer Gab) as of now, starting from chapter 1. This is gonna get super long, so buckle up, people.

Not spoiler free, obviously.

1. She is a human shown with a shadow on multiple instances, and a tsugai user, her tsugai being a set of upper and lower jaws with many eyes and really sturdy teeth. We later learn that the tsugai are called Gabriel. They can also shrink to an adorable size

2. By her own admission, she doesn't "bite" (kill) children

(Traumatising them for life, however , seems to be a different story)

3. a) She and Gabriel are oddly synchronised, with her needing to make the 'gobble' gesture for Gabriel to be able to bite.

Other than Gab, Asa is literally the only one who needs gestures, needing to open her right hand to wield Kai's powers. And mind you, Kai is no normal tsugai

b) Unlike Asa, Gab can use either hand for this

4. She doesn't like Gabriel being called a monster

5. She's "used to pain"

6. She's very defensive of Asa

7. She's a) apparently right handed and b) apparently shit at drawing (while Gabriel aren't), because hating Yuru isn't an excuse enough for that atrocity of a drawing

8. She understands what Gabriel "say" to a certain degree

Continued in part 2, because damn the 10 image limit.

Everything about Gab/Gabby from Yomi no Tsugai, Part 3

Part 1 Part 2

A continuation of Part 2. Not spoiler free.

16. She calls Asa "my girl"

(Yes, this is very important. Yes I know that this isn't actually Asa. Hush, you spoilsport.)

17. She fought Akio when they first met, and is responsible for the mountain god's missing horn

Now, this part is pure speculation but I think they fought before Gab joined the Kagemoris, mostly because I don't think anybody tolerates that level of infighting

18. She drinks coffee. Yes, again, this is important- Ok, fine. She doesn't really understand Hagure-sensei's appreciation of human imperfections

(And she also chews gum while attacking Higashimura, btw. Sorry, this should've been in part 1, I forgot to include it.)

19. She's a fan of Hagure-sensei's manga because it doesn't have bad guys. (Her soft expression here is killing me 😭)

20. She's fiercely loyal to the Kagemoris, thinking of the clan as her home and declaring that she would even go as far as killing a parent to protect it

21. She wants Asa to stop constantly apologising and blaming herself for everything (and so do I, but this ain't about me)

22. She and Asa are homeschooled by Natsuki

23. She officially has been with the Kagemoris longer than Asa, as Hagure-sensei is familiar with Gab but not Asa. She has also been good friends with Asa for a long while

Aaaaand that's it. That's all we know about Gab until now. If you've read this far, I'm honoured.

Part 2

Everything about Gab/Gabby from Yomi no Tsugai, Part 2

Part 1 Part 3

A continuation of part 1. Not spoiler free.

9. She's very sympathetic when it comes to tsugai,

a) Thinking that letting one half of a tsugai survive alone would be cruel

b) Getting really, really mad about tsugai being mistreated, even being ready to kill someone over not naming his tsugai (though she's stopped by Asa)

c) Building a proper grave for the tsugai she killed

10. She a) is probably older than Asa and Yuru, and b) doesn't know her own exact age, but c) could pass for a 19 year old

11. She thinks Asa shouldn't have to dirty her own hands

12. Her tsugai are weirdly named

Seriously though, knowing Arakawa-sensei there's a backstory behind that kind of name. Not to mention that Gabriel being more of a 'proper' name than Gab (which I believe is an onomatopoeia of the 'gobble' sound? Fact check needed on this one, though)

13. She helps Hagure-sensei with his manga and is even paid for it (maybe she isn't that bad at drawing, then. Maybe she is just that bitter about Yuru, or maybe she's just bad at drawing people - I'm hardly in a position to be able to criticize her on that one. Or maybe she just edits stuff, idk)

14. Working for Hagure-sensei doesn't stop her from doubting him. Girl takes her Asa protection job seriously

15. She doesn't have an identity to use in the Lower Lands (the reason for this is unknown as of now), but is happy as she is

To be continued in part 3, because damn the 10 image limit.
