i miss early part 2 asa, as a lonely and awkward woman myself i loved her portrayal but now i don't care as much for her

Asa’s writing in early Chainsaw Man felt more layered because we were constantly in her head, navigating her strange, personal thought processes. Something like her talk with Yuko about killing her neighbor, or the full page of her thinking happy people should just die— objectively, based on the current writing, Fujimoto would not write such important, personal moments. He would just have her say out loud “Sometimes I wished happy people would die… but I don’t feel that way anymore.”

Her internal dialogue revealed a character who was deeply insecure yet weirdly self-absorbed—someone whose “arrogance” was a defense mechanism for her depression and alienation. The back-and-forth exchanges with similarly weird people like Yuko or even Haruka highlighted her awkward, rambling way of viewing the world, making her feel like a fully realized person speaking to other fully realized people.

Now, though, she seems reduced to a plot tool, existing primarily to amplify Denji’s angst. It’s not that she’s been entirely stripped of personality, but the focus has shifted so dramatically that she feels less like her own character and more like a reactor to his personal struggles. It’s honestly hard to see this Asa having those strange, erratic thoughts that the early one did. She is just so, so, so flat. And all her conversations are so, so, so flat. The nuance of her perspective—the narcissism, the bitterness, the vulnerability—has taken a backseat to her place in Denji’s life. Dear God, even her relationship with Yoru is portrayed as the most nothingburger of all time. How can you even do that?

I’m just so disappointed with this character. Isn’t that strange? I can say a lot “I didn’t end up liking her” but no— I did. I love early Asa. She is a character in a story and serves it well. Late Asa is not the type of character I would spare a second glance towards. She is so banal. It’s almost like Fujimoto lost his endearment for her.

Comments left by Kentaro Miura (author of Berserk) on Young Animal Magazine when he was drawing Berserk and commentaries at the end of the book.

This has been shared before but it is well known that manga authors have brutal schedules they have to work under. So many have died before old age due to health issues.

To quote Junji Ito:

“Sleep is very important. Everyone get enough sleep. Many manga artists die young and it’s because they don’t sleep. Your best ideas will come to you when you’re sleeping. Please everyone get some sleep.”

Remember Manga authors are human beings that deserve better work conditions in their industry.

Let me add here that Master Miura paid attention to his time and health especially the last decade. His editor, his team and his colleagues cared dearly about him.

Honor him by taking care of yourself as well and value your time here.

RIP Master Miura.

Thank you for all the hard work.

Karaoke nights at resistance's base be like:

visiting family

"Hey, Dad. Raph. Donnie... It's been awhile. How are you?"

Leo walked to the base of the hill, where his family was buried. He gazed at them, the familiar feeling of that warm emptiness filled his chest. They were gone, but not gone.

He felt their presence, as he sat in front of the graves. Leo made the graves at the times they died, almost as if not making a headstone would prevent their deaths.

Leon felt guilty about their less-than-stellar headstones for his family, but the lack of resources prevented him from making a good one, especially for his twin.

"Same as always, huh? Yeah, nothing seems to change with you guys, heh... Don't worry, I'll trim it up soon, I know how you like it tidy, Don. Love you guys. Bye, Dad. Bye Raph. Bye, Donnie. I'll see you guys... soon."

DONNIE DARKO richard kelly, 2001

A bunch of sketches I have done, trying to find a way I would like to draw the turtles. As you can see, I don't have favorites (I'm obviously lying). If think that any of the expressions or the poses in the second one are familiar, it's because I used some panels from Chainsaw Man as reference.

I got excited when I saw that there were watercolors in the Medibang(I love using watercolors in real life art) and I ended up also doodling Katana Man, Makima, and Laura(my OC). For Makima, I didn't use references, I tried by memory, that's why she's so weird.

I will eventually get some real art done, I swear-
