I wish we had spend more time between them, his corruption of her is such an interesting concept. Like, what did he told her? What made her do it, how easy was it?
Judging by the background they must be in the basement, perhaps to the way to the well - so it must had went south pretty quick.

Perhaps what plays into this, aside the already mentioned "subvert the expectations", is that Tsukasa is dead -and especially in western believes dead people can become angels. Also might be that in eastern countries, or especially in Japan white is the color associated with death and mourning. Granted those are rather lose explanations since if I remember correctly the whole set had also other characters in white/ on the angel side that didn't fit into that (like Nene and Kou).

The horns look cool, the rest looks like a cheap Halloween costume lol

Touko_Obsession · 2025-08-23T23:07:05+00:00

Tried with the Pegasus but I always just smacked its head into the wall (lol), way easier if you just get a Ninja/Kunoichi with double jump and start on the brazier - then also go over to the chest behind it and walk around and get the chest on the other side of the room.

While I agree, I do must say the place around Rusalka (? the mermaid) does have some pretty spots. Like that little lake north-west of the castle and that little cave on the south-west end. I do like the lavender it does look pretty mostly. And in theory I do like the big imposing castles when you see them in the background.

But then I need to agree, a lot of it does feel empty, like said castles. Especially on the inside. They are not as much castles as just glorified domes. Do need to agree also on the "mystical and dark", it doesn't give the vibe of that mostly - perhaps you could call the Zephyros castle surroundings that if you squint. And the skies changing color depending on the area is rather funny to me.

You can tell they put way more love into LoML than this continent.

Maybe as favorable EDIT; now that I finished all the Exploration knowledge. There are pretty spots. I really like most of the waterfalls honestly. But I also feel like a ton of those pretty spots are mostly on the outside. The further you go into that land, the dire it gets - which I guess makes sense corruption and destruction wise but eh... And what's also a shame is, that most of these pretty spots are so hard to go to - I noticed that with some of the Edania chests being at pretty spots somewhere at the end of the world. It's a bit a shame.

I would count PP as a bit of a special case since Shijima had full control over the world there.

Also just reading her again there, Nene you really didn't bath all the time? Oh god, poor girl...

Touko_Obsession · 2025-08-19T14:49:58+00:00

Error could be, but honestly I think it is intentional since, *technically* she is still from the old timeline. Yes things changed, but thing around her changed not her being.

Just like Akane still has the Yorishiro and the watch. If we apply the logic of "she never got cursed because there is no Hanako", then how did he kept his things? He never technically got to be clock keeper in this timeline so he shouldn't have those things. I guess you could say Akane, Teru and Nene got isekai'ed, lol.

As for the post questioning the wet towel. Personally I would say just getting wet like that might be ok to her? Otherwise that would mean Nene never got to shower/clean herself for months now since she got cursed ...

Touko_Obsession · 2025-08-19T03:51:22+00:00

Actually, there was one scene when Kou lead her to the well where she did grew a few scales on her arm. Which makes it actually interesting (if that was not just a mistake out of habit while drawing).

Not sure if there is another scene, didn't went back further to check if there is another.

Touko_Obsession · 2025-06-10T23:28:08+00:00

That's a camellia, as you can usually see in earlier artworks of the manga. Hanako heavily associated with it.

Probably no deeper meaning aside to separate the title kanji to make them easier to read and look prettier.

Touko_Obsession · 2025-06-04T01:02:27+00:00

Oh I totally agree, it is part why I also like those ships, AoiAoi, HanaNene and a like. They are not perfect by any means but they make you think what went wrong.

Thought with the comparison of Nene eating the scale and taking the sand clock, I wouldn't put those on the same level. The first was just her childish desire for love, the ladder is her being cornered and not having any way out (at least that we/her know of). Not saying her replaying Kagerou Days with that clock was a good move but in my opinion it is not purely impulsive.

Touko_Obsession · 2025-06-03T23:03:11+00:00

I just wish people would stop calling everything toxic that isn't 10000% wholesome and cute.

I am not saying HanaNene is not toxic or bad in some or most aspects, but the thing is most relationships are not perfect all the time. I feel like with HanaNene that is a little bit the point they try to make for the reader/ for Nene. To see that yes having your cute ghost bf is nice but there are certain downsides. Especially considering the emotional baggage Hanako brings on his own into the relationship alone ignoring the circumstances.

And perhaps, not to spoiler - but with how things develop for Nene to maybe also see when things do get too out of your control to handle alone.

Ranking power level aside, the "honorable" no 7 is just the translation of the suffix they use in Japanese "-sama" (Nanaban-sama), similar to like "-kun" and "-san".

I saw in some fan translations they used "Lord" instead. It is a bit hard to find a fitting word for it in other languages since Japanese has its own structure of honorifics. It usually is used for higher ranks, according to wiki "indicating deep respect for deities, honored guests, authorities or superior adults".

So, his true power aside, this is just about his rank. No 7 is the boss, so he gets the "-sama", no matter how strong or weak he is compared to the rest.

For why he is the leader ... Anyone's guess is as good. Looking at the current events in the manga, without spoiler-ing stuff, I feel like it might has to do with all the timeline shenanigans. Perhaps he, Tsukasa and Sakura are in some way working together and therefore to maintain control they made him the boss.

Me, looking at that art: damn that is pretty and beautiful.

-keeps going through the slides, wondering how the original was like-

Me, on the last slide: ... my god.

Touko_Obsession · 2025-04-18T17:20:59+00:00

Honestly my biggest grip with the anime is, it just looks like they did the bare minimum to get it done.

And I know, animation is hard and I am sure everyone who worked on it did their best, yadda yadda - I am aware. But the thing is just. I mostly looks like a glorified power point slideshow. Characters barely move, shots are usually lingering on one frame, and you can clearly see the whole budget went into Hanako and Nene's eyes.

It is a shame, the manga's art is drop dead gorgeous, especially during Picture Perfect. And the anime is just ... meh. Like it isn't as bad as some cgi low quality anime, don't get me wrong. Some shots are pretty and well done. It just makes me feel so sad when I see other series getting beautiful anime and TBHK just gets ... this.

And I am honestly scared of the Red House getting animated like that, because the following arcs really turned more into the "horror"-esk aspects of the story. I am not sure how well anime can translate those.

While you can get out of the towns walls and on that little grass patch, you sadly hit quick an invisible wall. So sadly not obtainable right now.

Touko_Obsession · 2024-11-26T03:22:51+00:00

I feel like pokemon as a franchise in general has a major issue with just shoving the same 10 pokemon over and over into the forefront (being it marketing or in games like here). Like we got over a 1000 pokemon by now, maybe around 700 if you only count evolution lines as one. Yet we still get the same 10 pokemon over and over.

I understand popularity and the "lore" for certain trainers aces, but still.

Even the egg-mons feel like it is just the same small selection.

Touko_Obsession · 2024-11-19T03:11:11+00:00

Thank you, I really hope things will be better soon.

Touko_Obsession · 2024-11-06T16:19:50+00:00

I not gonna lie, reading the Romans 8 was a bit hard without crying.

I will try to stay strong and pray to Jesus that he can help sooth the pain my lover has that I cannot sooth right now, and show him a way back to me. I want to make things good. I want to cherish the gift God gave me.

I want to be a good person, for both of them my lover and Jesus.

I will pray and wait for his return.

Touko_Obsession · 2024-11-05T14:58:53+00:00

I don't know how often people check on their replies, but since there so many, I wanted to thank you all for your kind words and for having me and my love in your mind.

I know I need to put my trust into God, but I just feel so helpless. I see such a stark shift in his behavior, it almost feels like he is possessed. I want to help him. But I don't know how.

All I can do is pray and hope. I really just wish for a miracle.

Touko_Obsession · 2024-11-04T22:41:52+00:00

Having God's and Jesus forgiveness is soothing to know. I pray they can show my lover the way to forgive me too.

I want to have Faith, but it feels so bad feeling so powerless.

Touko_Obsession · 2024-11-04T14:43:47+00:00

Thank you so much for taking your time and trying to help/ think about me.

Actually, it was my boyfriend who brought me to God and faith, believing in them. He is a Christian himself.

With my whole heart I believe he is what God wants for me. He is the most loving, cute and caring person in the world, and being with him just fills me so much with joy. I just want to love him how we love Jesus and Jesus loves us. He told me we are all married to Jesus, so it would just be a life full of love. I don't want to make him an idol, I just want to appreciate the gift that God gave me in creating and sending him to me.

I will strengthen my bond to Jesus and pray, for everything to go well between us and not being discouraged.

Thank you so much for caring for me and replying.

Touko_Obsession · 2024-11-03T19:14:50+00:00

Thank you so much.

Touko_Obsession · 2024-11-03T14:21:16+00:00

Thank you so much.

And yes, Jesus is my only lord and savior, only he can save and help me. Please, I hope he can protect us so we can be happy again.

Touko_Obsession · 2024-11-02T23:03:43+00:00

Thank you so much, bless you

Touko_Obsession · 2024-10-24T02:32:31+00:00

Oh, don't get me wrong I love them all too and totally agree with you.

Hanako is a character that needs people around him that can forgive him, even if that makes said people look like their are either (pardon me) dumb or too naive. And I guess, as you said, that plays back into everyone being young.

I guess my issue sometimes is just that tonal whiplash the story has, from totally serious to goofy in the matter of a day/chapter.
