KAITO really just made the last chapter of ao no flag and then peaced out forever
#88 - Ao no Flag vol. 7
Ao no Flag Volume 7 Omake
today’s KAITO’s birthday and good on him I guess for not using social media (at least w/ an account tied to his status as a mangaka) literally like at all but at the same time... is he alive? No other project has been announced and I check in time to time on his pixiv and nothing. I worry :(
whenever someone posts taichi’s smiling face from the last chapter i’m like no, stop, that’s illegal
this wasn’t very subtle, but I laughed. a lot
“I hope, at least, that the future your choices lead you to...”
i backtracked on this part looking for the end of the thought, but the series of panels that follow speak loud enough themselves. and i felt stupid, like, oh duh, it’s obvious the end of the thought is something along the lines of “brings you happiness”
...and then i cried a little. i love anf so much. it’s affirming and good and will stick with me forever. usually it’s the tragic, fucked up endings that stay with and affect me most. happy endings are good, but don’t usually have the same sort of impact. not with anf! damn, THE most happy of happy endings and it knocked me flat on my ass. amazing.
i am very bad at fandom, and i get increasingly worse the more important the canon thing is to me. and i've never been a blogging sort of person. it takes too much time to sort my thoughts out coherently and i barely have time for just checking what’s new. anyway all that to say i’m still desperately obsessed with anf but don’t know what to do with this account. every time i reread bits of anf i notice something different, and i can appreciate more what kaito was going for. it’s the sort of storytelling i love, or can relate to wanting to tell myself, though i would never be able to show so much restraint. i finally got to read the afterword and i respect him even more now.
i wrote most of my thoughts on anf and everything left unsaid in a number of fics that are in varying stages of completion, but none 100%...
i want to finish the fics i started more than a year ago! god some of them i started writing 2 years ago. from a combo of general depressive episodes and health problems specifically fucking up both of my hands (also why i haven’t drawn in forever), i can never seem to be able to really sit down and put in the time and effort to finish them.
i do think about them and anf nearly every day though, geez
“best friend or lover.”
