VERY fast waka running at incredible hihg speedLast thread: >>3912860
I wonder if Matsui is one of these mangaka that are aware of the fanart their series get even if he isn't active on socmedia.
Part of me wants a game of this series with the possibility of different outcomes and routes.

It's a shame i can't bring myself to like the MC's design. This qt is top tier however.
Just discovered this artist with like 10 followers. Not a fan of Akiie but this is some cool art and I am a sucker for cool art
Modern day pop up store AU
WARNING: Strong feels.
>>3917162LOOK AT HIM GO!!!
>>3917231The comics and art with the brother are kinda kino.
>>3917277Kunitoki deserved better. may the uncle burn in hell forever amen
>>3917357Watchman is my favorite rando of the series. Would list Moriyoshi too, but I assume that Moriyoshi will eventually and hopefully do something important.
>cute shotas>pretty traps>ikemen>old man yaoiThis series really has it all. It's fun seeing the variety of characters all getting posted in the same thread
>>3917422why is there so much art about his armpits
>>3917530they're his charm point
>>3917492>pretty traps where?? no tokiyuki does not constitute
>>3917572Post timeskip Tokiyuki definitely counts as a trap. I sometimes mistake him for Ayako.
>>3917572Akiie?>I sometimes mistake him for Ayako.Same

>even Munehiro is getting art
>>3917942I saw this too, we are cursed. I guess the new fans are catching up with the manga. Funny how every crazy killer gets some fans. Some anon in one of the old threads mentioned Kazuo Henmi once and yeah that's basically it and he also has fanart. Though Munehiro is scarier in my opinion.
Glad that the puppet bondage scene in the manga (and now also anime) inspires adequate art
this show is incredible
>>3918360Glad you like it Anon!
>>3918384I am not only saying "I like it", if you get my drift.I mean, emphatically, this is an important show.
>>3918394>this is an important show.I know. I genuinely love this series since the first chapter of the manga in 2021. Just very glad to see other people appreciate the series properly as well. It tackles a lot of topics and themes that stick in my mind along with having a varied cast of protags and antags.
>>3918394>>3918409Yeah it sometimes says something quite important that sticks and it does it casually and just moves on to the next act that focuses on the characters themselves again. It's a very varied series and not just regarding its characters. And the themes it has are handled well and get brought up again instead of being forgotten together with the premise at some point, which actually happens in a lot of other manga I read. The anime even enhances all of that by dialing up the visual metaphors and creating an appropriate atmosphere with its directing. Best new example would be the dialogue between Tadayoshi and Takauji and how they cut it and positioned the characters.
Rat
>>3918409>>3918416More people should watch it.
>>3918518Agreed.
>>3918518Probably the setting or the clash of comedy and dark content that filters them. Personally getting the impression that it's the first since most seem like they haven't even tried it yet.Oh well I forgot it might also be the designs. Sausage fest anime are always like that unless the designs have the mainstream look like Free. The rest needs time to be noticed, if it gets noticed, that is.
There's a youtube channel that translates /a/ episode threads into Japanese so that the Japanese audience can see what westerners are saying about certain shows. One of the nicknames that anons gave Tokiyuki is "takoyaki" and this Japanese artist thought it was so cute he drew fan art of takoyaki tokiyuki
>>3918618>There's a youtube channel that translates /a/ episode threads into Japanese so that the Japanese audience can see what westerners are saying about certain shows.racial slurs included?
>>3918658I want to know how Japan translates "fag".
>>3918665okama
>>3918667Kinda expected this, there aren't many options I think. It's weird to imagine calling other anons okama to insult them or use it as a neutral suffix as we with fag.
>>3918669maybe "homo" or "gei(gay)"? idk much about jap slurs
God I wish this was two cours.
>>3918658No. One time he used one of my posts but took a sentence out of it to avoid using the word fag. And I don't remember seeing him using any posts with stuff like nip or nigger.
>>3918674In our defense, the TES threads are surprisingly civil so far. Fag aside. But fag can't even be considered a slur on 4chan. I'm a TES fag myself.
rape.
>>3918796phallic
>>3917204All the boys are cute, but him and masky thief are top
Best antagonist in a while IMO

Sorry anon above, didn't mean to quote here >>3918810
I wonder what kind of role he would have had if he survived. Dammit Godaiin.
What a lightweight
Ichikawa deserves better.
i jinxed it by saying i liked the show's politics before it was over. Critiquing the the samurai ethos is something that has to be done with laser precision - because it *is* worthwhile to be willing to die for a cause, and people *do* remember it when people do this. Although discussing this is beyond the scope of /cm/. But even just as a matter of pragmatism, a warrior who is willing/hoping to die gloriously in a battle is more likely to survive, and win, compared to a coward who fights half-heartedly. There are valid criticisms of samurai spirit, and convincing a bunch of bullheaded samurai to make a tactical retreat which will help win a battle later, instead of dying as pointless martyrs is one thing.But I'm not sure I liked Tokyuiki and Kojirou's horseback conversation. The reasons for this are too complicated to get into here, but it's worth posting here anyway. The intentions of the show might be good, but this last episode felt a bit funny to me. Possibly just fumbled the intended message. I was wondering where they could go after 10 was such a strong episode, so maybe what they meant to say suffered from being rushed into one of the last two episodes. At worst, there might be some bad intentions mixed with the powerfully good intentions shown in the last episode. Interested to see how it comes together with the final Ep. Of this season, at least, any news if this is getting a season 2?
>>3919757I am not sure. There is a difference between bravery and the acceptance of a possible death and blatant daredevilry. Seeking a glorious death isn't bad, or at least do I prefer it over people that abstain from having principles in favor of opportunism. But there are times where it means a lot and times where it doesn't. They didn't plan to win the war, they outright wanted to run into it to die. Again, not bad per se. But they would have gotten their families killed with them, whether they want or not. Nothing would be gained from it and whether an audacious person will be remembered for their death heavily depends on a lot of circumstances. We know the popular heroic deaths, but I can assure you that there are thousands, millions more that nobody remembers the name of, let alone the cause of death. Even for soldiers and courageous civilians of our current times. In this specific case it was way more reasonable to retreat and join forces with the other rebels to participate in a future battle where they can actually kick Kiyohara's ass and get what they want.
>>3919757>Critiquing the the samurai ethos is something that has to be done with laser precisionNo it isn't. Almost every culture has had some kind of warrior code. But most of those codes didn't result in teenagers feeling obligated to disembowel themselves at the first sign of defeat or suicide bombers becoming official military doctrine. >willing/hopingThese two things are completely different and cannot be conflated.>compared to a coward who fights half-heartedlyAnd this is precisely the false dichotomy the series is rejecting. Dying isn't courageous and retreating isn't cowardly. I'm pretty sure this is even the main reason for Matsui making Tokiyuki a dangerslut; to make it abundantly clear that he isn't motivated by cowardice. He wasn't mad at Hoshina because he was afraid and thought everyone else should be too. He was mad because he knew better than anyone else there how utterly pointless and wasteful their sacrifice was going to be. And the conversation at the end is about the same mindset. He's telling Kojiro that he is never going to be the kind of lord that will intentionally seek out and lead his men to a "glorious" death and wants to know if he's OK with that.
Predictable.
>>3919757>But I'm not sure I liked Tokyuiki and Kojirou's horseback conversationMy brain didn't even process anything from that conversation, I was too busy UOHing over their cute friendship.
They made the chibi Sadamune too moe in the new episode.

I want a full doujinshi about this
