Atsushi: Black and White Stripes

Chapter 88 begins with Akutagawa giving his life for Atsushi, and Atsushi not really knowing or understand why, especially the meaning behind his actions. This is really typical of Atsushi who fights to protect people, and doesn’t really understand them.

“The desperation of an ordinary man”

Honestly speaking, Asagiri the author loves Sigma. I am truly happy as a writer to be able to create such an enemy character. I like him so much I ended up putting him in Mersault, which is not my original plan. That I feel a little sorry. Anyway. “If I become desperate, I wonder what I could do?” - is there anyone who has never once thought about that? No one. I’m sure we all have that thought. “Maybe if I put my mind into it, even someone with no talent like me could break through all the walls of this world.” Sigma is the one who took on this statement and faced a huge wall by himself. As a character on the enemy side on top of that.

If Sigma had been a protagonist on the side of justice, it would have been a beautiful story that ends with something like, “That’s right. Even an ordinary person can defeat a huge enemy.” However, since Sigma is an enemy character, it is possible to dwell on the question “What is the actual truth?” in the end. The brutal truth. I want you to see what lies at the end of the path he has shown us, and the outcome of his vow to “definitely win” here. And I want you to try and think about the “desperation” that will gush out of you one day and about how it will end.

I've had a chat with a woman named Suad and she's trusted me to share her story with you all.

Suad is a young engineer from Gaza who was excelling in her field, and had recently been told that she is pregnant. She had a bright future ahead of her until disaster struck and Israel and their constant bombings destroyed everything she holds dear.

She and her husband are now living out of a tent like many Gazans now. They have had to struggle to find food and water, and not only this, but Suad is also trying to nurture an unborn baby without access to adequate food and the prenatal care that a pregnant mother needs.

She is fundraising now to get herself, along with her husband and their family members out of Gaza. They require $20,000 to get out of Gaza and an additional $8,000 for transfer costs and living expenses in Egypt.

(ID in Alt)

As of right now, they have made only $2,732 of their goal and their situation is urgent. Suad is now nearly 9th months along and will be giving birth to her child very soon in very dangerous conditions for both herself and the baby.

Please donate whatever you can to this fundraiser, and if you cannot donate, I urge you to share!
