whenever i'm feeling down i find myself going back to my favorite shoujos for comfort. it just feels so nostalgic and comforting!! rewatching all your favorite scenes and even remembering the things you missed is so much fun!! sometimes all you need is some classic romance to make you feel a bit better <33
THIS IS SO CUTEEE AHHHHH
mitsumi found a friend!
thank you haikyuu official art for giving us smiley shoyo and poutyama. this is the best thing to wake up to!!!! I LOVE KAGEHINA
Touya when he was still the BIG brother and Shoto hadn't caught up 2 him in height💗
“Tomioka!”
i finished fishman island!!
although i wasn't hooked from the beginning, this arc really grew on me! i really loved seeing the straw hats together again after their 2 year break. considering how emotional i was from everything that happened in marineford, it took a while to adjust to the new change of pace in the series! but seeing how strong & confident the members were made me feel so proud!!
each member of the grew worked hard to become stronger individuals for themselves AND for their captain/crew. some members trained to become physically stronger, some took the time to educate themselves, and some did both! zoro, nami, luffy, & robin are my personal favorite straw hats, so seeing them as better versions of themselves made me really happy!!! i love how hard everyone worked, and you could see it all pay off in this arc!
once i read/watched more of this arc, i started to really enjoy the plot! It was a very different side of one piece that we hadn't seen yet, other than in the sabaody archipelago arc. it expanded on the prejudice & discrimination that fishmen faced throughout history. how the hatred finds its way to the children, which creates more hatred. i really loved the narrator's monologue during the scene where jimbei gives his blood to luffy. it perfectly summarized the painful history between humans & fishmen. with jimbei's selfless act, it begins a new path for fishman island.
personally, this arc isn't in my top 5, but i really did enjoy it! i found it to be fun and the plot very interesting. i also really liked that we found out what the ancient weapon actually was in this arc after hearing about it for so long.
overall, i really loved how this arc showed us how much the straw hats grew during the timeskip. everyone did their best to become stronger so they could be prepared for the journey to the new world. i find it beautiful how devoted they are to each other and to their captain. i'm looking forward to what's next!
i can’t begin to explain how much i love thorfinn. he’s just so kind, hardworking, amazing, incredible, and beautiful!!!!! he's come so far and i'm so proud of him!! from being so defeated to now eager to start his journey is so amazing. he looks so happy and determined to head to greece for a chance at his dream. i just love him so very much!!! <33
i loved this chapter. hak & yona’s love for each other is so beautiful and strong. not even the dragon gods can keep them away from each other. hak proposing to yona because he can’t stand to leave her alone to die. they have come so far from all the trouble in the first few chapters to now persistently sticking together no matter what.
soowon stabbing the body of the crimson dragon is such a bold & strategic move that no one OTHER than soowon could pull it off. by doing so, the dragons are out of the chalice giving hak & yona time to save the three remaining dragons. with zeno able to defend, soowon & zeno are undeniably an amazing team.
i love how hak & yona working together parallels to when it was the two of them against the world in the beginning of the series. just like it was the two of them looking for the dragons, the two of them will now save them alongside zeno & soowon.
i’m looking forward to the next chapter! i hope we’re able to see what yoon is up to and hopefully nothing too bad will happen to the characters (i’m sure something bad will happen anyway tho 💔)
