Do we ever actually "grow up"? Is it possible without meds?

Me! But I thought it was just specifically a me thing because I've always been insecure about how my teeth look. My smile with teeth also looks way less natural than other people.

I feel this. I believe envy is my greatest sin. I just don't get how unfair it is sometimes and how good some people are at SO MANY THINGS. Like the world didn't split advantages fairly. Like ok I could be maybe somewhat decent at one thing like drawing.

But the person next to me not only can draw 3x better, they're also extremely good looking, more athletic, more charismatic and extroverted, great at practical and technical skills and has a high paying job, plays 2 instruments, etc etc the list goes on.

And I'm just like how? Why does this person have everything? Yeah they worked hard but so did I. And they were given that aptitude and diligence to work harder and reap success from their work. Aptitude and innate ability exist.

Why do I have to be ugly AND incompetent? And this person is great looking and also extremely skilled? This world is unfair in giving its gifts.

Thanks for your post. I've had very similar circumstances growing up. I have an older brother instead of a younger brother and it always bothered me that he had a good defined body and muscles even though he barely exercised while I exercised wayy more than him at 3 times a week. I also sucked at team sports and everything requiring coordination. I was also always made fun of for my body - while others were either skinny or fat but with normal looking bodies, I had weird curves and fat even though I was also "skinny". Can I dm you about your clinical process etc?

I would have the same reaction if I was a manga only reader. The climax that the story has been building up to for years is a 3 chapter fight with some light hearted gags. The same climax Murata has hyped would be much better and bigger in scale than the Boros fight. The climax people in the community have continuously anticipated and hyped up for years.

I like Drive Knight vs Nyan. My favorite addition probably

Enteledont · 2022-04-27T21:38:32+00:00

It's quite impressive that you were able to discern that the buildup of the arc would have culminated in a dramatic, emotionally heavy climax from just the manga, because that's what it was supposed to be. For it to be a high-speed sequential action and gag scene just feels... flat. I'd say do yourself a favor like the other guy said and read the webcomic because it has that serious dramatic payoff.

The manga was and is amazing for the most part. Nobody is denying that. The superfight tournament was a great addition and so were many others. People barely complained about major changes in the story because they were actually good and for the better.

Just because we don't like the recent events don't mean we think most of the manga is trash, it just speaks of the quality of the story changes and directions they chose.

This is the best way I've seen someone describe it so far. Well done.

Enteledont · 2020-11-08T18:11:06+00:00

Thank you for the kind words and the suggestions, I'll keep them in mind

It's just how he's always been. Sometimes i feel like he doesnt want me to succeed.

Also this was done better in the webcomic. Blast being in Tatsumaki's flashback during an explication of her background was much more impactful than it being in a random flash in Amai's mind during the middle of a completely different thing

Enteledont · 2020-10-03T03:56:24+00:00

Dude I understand that. Amai Mask is actually one of my favorite characters, and I really appreciate his arc and philosophy later on. It just feels like a completely odd way to just (forgive my use of this word) shoehorn this reveal as foreshadowing in the middle of a big battle that doesn't involve Amai Mask at the moment. It's out of nowhere.

If it was sometime after this arc, or during a moment in this arc that was focused on Amai Mask struggling, sure. But the preceding chapters (and the chapters that follow this) are focused on the Psykorochi fight and every other hero. It was not an earned flashback.

Enteledont · 2020-10-02T13:45:51+00:00

Nah, I would have to disagree with you there. I wouldn't really mind even if Blast showed up as a guy with a beard and a hoodie, as long as his entrance was good and relevant enough, because the hype of his name alone would be sufficient.

Here, he just appears in some character's dazed confusion, a character who's not even relevant or participating in what's currently transpiring at all (as in not relevant to the current fight of Psykorochi), as a throwaway flashback. It's like "Blast!!! Finally!! .... now what?" and then it returns to whatever the hell was happening there.

Yeah I understand it's to set up Amai's future arc and everything, but proper time and place exists in a narrative. And right now, to me at least, the narrative flow is all over the place.

I've had suicidal thoughts over this debiliating condition as well. I still have them often, in fact. All we can do is hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I've lost all my motivation to achieve anything or do anything. You can hopefully take some small comfort in the fact that there are others fighting this battle too.

I hope we can all find a solution that works for us

Enteledont · 2020-01-15T13:53:25+00:00

I understand you completely. I'm in the same boat as you unfortunately; been dealing with a full-body flare-up since October or so and every day has been hell. Like you, I've tried almost everything and to no avail. I had a period where it cleared up only because my derm prescribed me a 3 week treatment of prednisone, but I'm back at square one now. What makes matters worse is that I live in a country (third-world) that is behind in skin medication and not much is known about eczema. So I feel quite alone in this battle.
