i can not believe i woke up this morning to see aki hayakawa back in chainsaw man in 2024. i’m going to lose my mind I MISSED HIM SO MUCH. CSM 182 YOU BROKE ME AND HEALED ME.
they make me so happy…itafushi i love you
kny if the Kochos were the main characters
skip and loafer has done it again. i am a WRECK. shima has become one of my favorite characters EVER written and this chapter just made my love for him so much stronger. his growth has been highlighted for so many chapters and getting to this moment where the truth of the incident is revealed was incredible. he had buried his true feelings all these years, all for his mother’s sake. younger shima had so much pressure with no way to let it all out for so long. however, because of the new path he has created, he finally had the courage to face his past. he has grown to the point where he can confidently say that he isn’t miserable anymore. that he’s finally okay. he performs for his past self now, to show younger shima that it does get better, that there are happier days to come. stl 68 was so moving, you can read it over and over again and never stop. shima has come such a long way from the beginning and i can’t wait to see what else is in store for him.
i did not expect to be so obsessed with killugon in 2024 but here i am. these two care so much about one another and became so close in such little time. it was fate that these two met during the hunter exam arc. as individuals they mean so much to me but watching their relationship grow & deepen is so special. i love them a lot.
i love & hate how i get so invested in a series because i’ll binge it uncontrollably because I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING and then when i finish/catch up i feel empty. happy that i found a new series that i’m OBSESSED with. but now i have to wait for a new chapter. even worse is when there’s nothing else to wait for BECAUSE IT’S OVER.
katsuki bakugou has been a favorite of mine since i was younger. watching him develop throughout the years has been so emotional for me & seeing him change is so beautiful. he’s an incredible character that i’ll love forever. he saw his weaknesses, acknowledged them, and grew to become a better person & hero. his development didn’t happen overnight. it was written so perfectly. he changed slowly over time and watching it happen was amazing.
