Status Updates From Wind Breaker, vol. 2

suo really said i’m gonna teach this coward a lesson and i’m gonna do it in the cuntiest way possible. AND i’ll do it with tassel earrings on

so sakura is just casually bringing out the best and most emotional in suo and all sakura can think about in turn is how he can get suo to take him seriously in a fight…….casually of course

suo ragging on kanuma’s immaturity and seeming almost ageless himself is reminding me so much of zeno. that paired with the kindness and the constant smiles and the emotional intelligence but also the icy wisdom and potential ruthlessness

okay so i am admitting in this very moment that i’m a basic bitch and suo is my favorite character so far. fucking sue me. i just love mysterious, incredibly perceptive and emotionally intelligent characters who have the capacity for great cruelty but choose to be kind most of the time. his design is also sick. AND he’s voiced by mahito’s va so really i stood no chance

so that’s…….intimate! and gay it’s definitely gay

again, the context of how this all ends really makes moments like these hit extra hard. togame looking so empty when arima loses bc he knows that it means he’s gonna have to step up and be the monster to compensate for how unhinged choji’s acting. and umemiya clocking ALL OF IT

if a shonen doesn’t approach all of its fight scenes with this ethos then i generally want nothing to do with it. i like that the narrative of this manga allows for a very direct discussion with that element of the genre

oh my heart aches at how clearly togame cares about and worries for choji but feels like he has to shroud it in this overly apathetic badass speak

having already watched season 1 and knowing how choji’s story plays out, umemiya striking at the core of it IMMEDIATELY hits extra hard. he’s not a pushover but he is so deeply empathetic. but choji won’t even begin to hear it until they’re in the middle of a fight
