Summary of translations of the Spy x Family EYES ONLY fanbook. Character comments by Tatsuya Endo
Damian
Damian's character is inspired by the manga "Hana Yori Dango" (also known as "Boys Over Flowers") by Yoko Kamio, specifically Tsukasa Domyouji.
He was originally a nasty guy who bragged about his status, but soon became a nice guy.
Endo originally wanted him to be a nastier character.
Lin says that Damian and his lackeys are true friends and that Damian's whole story to come should be done with care
I don't know if many know this, but it's known that Tatsuya Endo is a fan of the shoujo genre. And the fact that he based it on a Yoko Kamio's character excites me *doki doki*
Tsukasa and Damian already have a lot in common for example:
They are both haughty.
They both brag about their social status
They like to make fun of others
They have a personality uhm…. complicated?
They are never with their family ( one of the main reasons why they are both like that )
And the most important of all… ¡They are in love with unique girls, they received the fist of love!
But here's something that catches my attention, Tatsuya Endo said that the coming story for Damian should be done very carefully. That means that Damian's character is really going to influence the story a lot. And guess who else he will influence? That's Anya. I don't want to rush to say too much but the way things are going in the manga Damian and Anya's relationship is really moving forward. Damian is willing to protect Anya from danger. And that has been shown many times in the manga. Even though he often says that Anya is very annoying and more unpleasant things, he really appreciates her a lot and cares about her. And I don't know if you have seen the anime/manga of Hana Yori Dango, well, the real villain of the anime is Tsukasa's mother, once Makino and him start a relationship, doumyouji's mother does everything to separate them. I don't know if Endo has something similar in mind for Damian and Anya's story but it's going to be interesting.
Finally, I don't want to get ahead of myself but I'm 90% sure that Damian and Anya will be together in the end and I'll tell you why? Because they complement each other too much and for example Damian is very serious and mature for a boy of his age, Anya is very immature and is not serious at all (but well she is only 4 years old) But what I mean is that Damian has that seriousness that she lacks, and Anya has that joy and spontaneity that he lacks.
Anya has influenced Damian a lot and in a way changed him, the same thing happened with Tsukasa, he met Makino a girl totally different from the ones he knew and she changed him. Damian appreciates Anya a lot but she appreciates Damian? At first she thought he was an annoying brat and to some extent she still thinks the same, but Makino also had that thought of Doumyouji but as she got to know him those thoughts changed and in the end she ended up falling in love with Doumyouji. Probably something like this will happen with Damian and Anya, she will get to know Damian and little by little she will start to love him the same way he does. But for this I think there has to be a time skip. So we can only wait for the evolution of one of the most popular spy x fmily couples. ♡
Am I really the only one who saw the similarities between Maxton hall and Hana Yori Dango?? I saw nay I smelled the similarities the minute I saw the trailer. Like highschoolers in the most expensive school. Ruby and Makino are both poor and in a scholarship in a very expensive school. James and Domyouji both have complicated family situation but can have comfort in their sister Lydia and Tsubaki. I think the only difference is that Ruby's family actually loves her very much and doesn't expect her to be their way to financial stability unlike Makino's family who'd sell her to Domyouji and become rich instantly if they could. And James actually doesn't bully people nor Ruby he tries to get her in trouble but doesn't actually sick people on her to hurt or bully her like Domyouji had done. In fact he actually gets in trouble for his own actions unlike Domyouji. As mush as I love Hana Yori Dango and all it's live adaptations all from different countries it's still pretty problematic with how Domyouji is an over the top bully and although he changes it's hard not to judge him for how out of control his behaviors were. James however never hurt anyone. Which makes him so much better on my books like ugh bro fell in love in an instant then didn't hesitate to show everyone he likes her rather than be an emotional cripple that's in denial of his feelings.
Hana Yori Dano - Tsukushi/Tsukasa edit using Lenka's Trouble is a Friend
This is only my second time editing like this. It's still a rough process for me. I don't have the skills to fully convey what I'm seeing in my head, but if I don't post it, I will never finish it. I really wanted to use the whole song; I even have specific panels I'd use, but I just don't have the time or skill level required to take on a project that big without getting overwhelmed. So please accept this small bit with a grain of salt 🙏 thank you!!
Does anyone who know english and japanese have this manga reference book - Hana Yori Dango FF ?
Me and friends never found any fan translations of this book... I wish someone kind enough translate the character texts and guide 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
P.S. Not that my english is great.. it's not my mother tongue and ironically, I'm not that great in my mother tongue language paper as well as english subject paper just like Tsukasa... (Messed up idioms and proverbs and other flowery language 💩) 🥲
