"Запутался с тобой: Сад 100 трав" Аки Аои

Однажды сестра Марселя поранилась в лесу, собирая травы. Марсель не знал, что делать, пока не появился устрашающий рогатый демон, предлагающий помощь - в обмен на обещание. Теперь, десять лет спустя, Марсель возвращается в лес, готовясь к смерти. Но вместо этого он находит совсем другое: нежную душу, дружбу... и, возможно, нечто большее.

Очень приятный однотомник с работами, не известного для меня ранее, мангаки Аки Аои. Приятная рисовка, лёгкое повествование, немного романтики (всё, что и должно быть в добротном сёнен ай). В томике несколько коротеньких историй и одна главная. Читается легко, на одном дыхании, вообще не пожалела, что купила.

Spring 2024 anime review!

It's time for my annual anime season review! I had a lot more shows to watch this season than last, which at times got a bit hectic! It's not quite done yet but it's done enough that I think I can put this up. Warning: Long post incoming where I ramble about the many anime shows I watched and personal reflection about how Going Through It™ affected my watching.

Laid Back Camp Season 3: My fav of the season, I'm obsessed with these camping girlies and any more time with them is always a treat. The combo of the suspension bridge arc with the wacky over the top arc is a fun jarring one, and the last trip was so sweet. Rin and Nadeshiko felt even gayer this season which is impressive, they're the most girlfriends to me, Chiaki and Aoi too (or maybe I should just ship full camping polycule???) It was only a few second scenes too but I love that they added Aya into the later arcs as well. I've been in a rough place mentally for a while and it kicked into a new gear this summer, so the comfort vibes of the show hit differently. I'm a super anxious person so chill times where everything is OK is such a nice escape from the world. Shout out to the OP/ED for being my favs this season! Also highly recommend both sub and dub, because the dub cast is SOOOO good once more. Celeste Perez is so fantastic as Rin, and Morgan Laure Garrett does an incredible performance as Nadeshiko. The whole cast is so great I could ramble on and on about them.

Whisper Me a Love Song: Not technically done yet as eps 11 and 12 are delayed, but in spite of the production woes this one has my heart this season in that "I love the manga and am happy to see this animated, I am hyperfixated, and warts and all I love watching it and get way way WAYYYY too sensitive about it seriously chiral go touch grass instead of having anxiety attacks about an anime" kind of way. The voice cast is SO perfect and everyone fits their characters so well and it's a treat to see the manga adapted. Himari and Yori's fluffy relationship was so sweet and I teared up a lot at their big moments. My beloved Aki got so many delicious angsty scenes while also showing her as not a bad person, just someone who's caught up in a crush while heartbroken about her true love leaving her (a true love that she didn't even realize was true love). Speaking about that true love, Shiho getting to be a feral cat storming into the proceedings is a treat, and I love that we get to see her earlier in the anime than in the manga.

The downsides ofc are the production that delayed two of the episodes, and now has the last two pushed to a later date, and my big qualm is the festival getting skipped over (well still kinda animated in the visual comic they released with the voice actors doing great on it), that's a bummer. I can see structurally what they were going for, 6 eps for Himari/Yori and 6 eps for the very popular Aki/Shiho storyline, and having the 'lost' ep voice acted helps a bit. But ughghggh even with all that...IDK it's still my babg and they're my babygorls so I'm rooting for 11 and 12 to be really great and for me to not engage with any fandom discussion about it LOL. Like I said this one had my heart this season, and when something latches onto your heart like that, I think it's good to cherish that a bit.

Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night: I heard the buzz a few episodes in about this and was hooked pretty quickly. The animation quality was great, I adored the characters, and I loved the queerness in it with the nonbinary talks, trans yakuza ladie, the kiss, and while I wish they went more in on the romance, we still got a lot of queerness that I don't want to count out. It's another case where I really need to disengage with what people think about something when it's special to me (that might be the moral of the season, honestly). My big downside for this is it got a little too stressful for me, the big fight towards the end of the show kept me up at night. I might be going through it pretty bad if watching anime does that to me BUT we stay silly.

Train to the End of the World: I didn't realize until I saw a post about it like yesterday that this had the same director as Kill la Kill and Gurren Lagann and in hindsight yeah that tracks. This was such a wild ride, I love a good journey story and this scratched that itch well. A group of girls go on a weird, hilarious, and heartfelt journey via train through a bizarre world? It made me really want to write a journey story. Funniest show of the season by far, crazy visuals, fun action, each episode being a strange little journey on its own helped the vibe.

The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio: This was a really cute one, bubbly gyaru x stoic girlie is a fun dynamic. Going by the structure, I assume this was the first 3 light novels adapted, since each arc was 4 eps IIRC. I hope the light novels get translated here because I'd love to see where the story goes next. My downside to this is this one also got STRESSFUL stressful in that like social kind of way as the main duo deals with stalkers, assholes online, shitty voice directors (I hope that voice director that was giving Yasumi a hard time gets super fired in season 2) and that took away from the fluff at times. Still was a definite highlight of the season.

Nijiyon Animation 2: Maybe even weirder than the first season, I was really glad to get more of this one, weekly 3 minute adventures of a wacky gay harem really is good for the soul. I love the vibe of like "yeah we're doing this premise this week let's just go with it" that a lot of the episodes had. Do Season 3 cmon!

Vexations of a Shut in Vampire Princess dub: I am a big stan for Vexations, and this dub has not disappointed so far (I think just one or two episodes to go for it), VERY well cast with Brittney Karbowski (of Railgun fame) putting in a STELLAR performance as Komari, showcasing all the facets of Komari's personality, like her spoiled bratty princess side, her anxious about being plopped into a dire situation side, the theater kid performance that helps her through this, and many other sides, it's really fantastic work by her. Vill, Sakuna, and Millicent are standouts as well (every Millicent scene I needed to pause afterwards because wow 🥵).

I also watched the back half of Dungeon Meshi (which is so big rn that I feel like I don't know what to add? It's great!), the new Spice and Wolf which was nice, Bartender: Glass of God which was VERY chill, and a coworker friend rec'd Condition Called Love, but I did not really enjoy that one.

All in all despite the bumpy road, I was really happy with this season and got SO much yuri. I do still need to watch Girls Band Cry and will rectify that soon, I just had way too many shows to watch at once.

Next season I am mainly looking forward to My Deer Friend Nokotan, and started watching Suicide Squad Isekai mainly for the ED lol. Next season big goal also: Chiral touches grass and her hypersensitive ass stops getting so worried about what other people think of the anime she watches and to just enjoy the anime hyperfixation while it's in full swing like this.

Witch Hat Atelier by Kamome Shirahama wouldn't look out of place in Kadokawa and Enterbrain's magazine Harta. In fact, Shirahama's previous series Eniale & Dewiela ran on this magazine.

Other licensed titles from the magazine include A Bride's Story by Kaoru Mori, Call the Name of the Night by Tama Mitsuboshi, The Coppersmith's Bride by namo, Delicious in Dungeon by Ryoko Kui, Go with the Clouds, North-by-Northwest and Ran and the Gray World by Aki Irie, Hakumei and Mikochi: Tiny Little Life in the Woods by Takuto Kashiki, Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto by Nami Sano, Hinamatsuri by Masao Ohtake, Immortal Hounds by Ryo Yasohachi, Nicola Traveling Around the Demons' World by Asaya Miyanaga, Stravaganza: The Queen in the Iron Mask by Akihito Tomi, Touge Oni: Primal Gods in Ancient Times by Kenji Tsurubuchi, and Wolfsmund by Mitsuhisa Kuji.

I hope Aoi Horus no Hitomi by Chie Inudoh and Vlad Drăculea by Akiyo Ohkubo would get licensed too. Both are historical manga series starring rulers but they couldn't be more different. I love Inudoh's vibrant world of ancient Egypt in Aoi Horus no Hitomi and Ohkubo's Vlad III, Stephen III, Mehmed II, Ilona Szilágyi, and Radu III in the grim world of late medieval Eastern and Central Europe and the Ottoman Empire in Vlad Drăculea.

yuru camp s3

I was a big fan of the first season of Yuru Camp, and I think it was a beautiful thing if it had been a standalone season. I knew there was a second season when I finished watching S1, so I had no clue what they could have even done. S2 was fine in itself, just more of the girls doing their camping thing, mostly Nadeshiko’s adventures into solo camping. I like the series fine so it always baffles me to see how popular the girls are. 

So I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that there was a S3. I think the first time I saw the trailer I was turned off by the “new art style” which is supposed to be closer to the manga, I guess? But watching the actual episodes, I don’t think I noticed it too much. Mostly only Aki’s change in hair but that was relevant to the story. (And Ena’s hair too, but I’m just going to assume everyone’s hair got longer from the last time we saw them.) 

I didn’t watch it as it was airing because Yuru Camp was something I liked watching a few episodes together at a time so I waited until the season was done.

I thought the opening sequence was very nice, with the linelessness. I kind of groaned at seeing the new girls, which, later would eventually be their new club members, I guess. 

I was never a fan of Aya. I think she just felt a bit too normie to me. I would have preferred if they just kept her as Nadeshiko’s childhood friend from her old hometown. Not that I’m lowkey salty about Rin finding a biker girlfriend, I just think that just because the series is centered around This Thing, doesn’t mean Every Single Character has to be interested in The Thing. (White Sands of Aquatope, the chef girl eventually working at the aquarium.) I wouldn’t have minded if Aya and Rin bonded over biking and biking alone, and maybe eventually decided to join them in a camp (like Ena at the Christmas camp), but Aya was automatically interested and invested, even though she had no prior knowledge or interest. So even if the bridge tour and biking journey was a different sight, I just wasn’t invested because I didn’t like Aya.

And then the retelling of the OutDoo Club’s camping. I get that because it was a retelling, they can goof off and exaggerate as many details as they could, but I thought it was a bit too goofy for me and I would have liked to have seen it play at in real time, as is. I guess that’s just what I expect when I watch Yuru Camp, something chill and relaxing, not fourthwall breaking. 

So I appreciated the yard camp/literal sausage fest episode and Chiaki’s solo camp more than any of the camps they had shown. I think I prefer seeing the solo camp segments, so like Nadeshiko making the trip by herself using public transportation (and finding a new found obsession to old style trains) and any time Rin goes by herself. It’s more calming to me to see what the individual characters are thinking when they are by themselves. Aoi’s bike adventure was pretty interesting too since I don’t think we see a lot of her inside thoughts. 

The group sakura viewing camp felt too short for me. I thought we’d get more time on it since the end of the season camps are usually a big thing (Christmas, Izu) but it was like, half an episode. Maybe because we’ve already camped with everyone and everyone is acquainted, and they spent most of their time on their own only to finally gather to show off their own sakura experiences. 

Oh, I like Sakura (sis) fine and I think her and Nadeshiko are cute, but I think we spent a little too much time driving around with them. I guess it could be iyashi, but I came here for camp iyashi not driving iyashi. Maybe because I don’t drive, I romanticize public transportation more. Or even biking feels more romantic. 

Also the girls that would I suppose eventually become their new club members, I feel like they shouldn’t have been in the opening. I think if they kept it as the chance encounter with Ena, and then Ena seeing them at the beginning of the new school year, you can kind of make inferences and then we can actually see them when season 4 hits. 

Anyway, I guess I feel a little bad, but I didn’t get as much relaxing vibes as I had from the first two seasons. I rated this season as an Average Okay, while I remember giving S1 a solid 10/10, S2 an 8. (I gave it a 9?) Reading the MAL reviews, I’m not alone in rating it lower than the first two seasons, but also there was a change in studio? So I don’t know if I blame the events that occurred in S3 or the studio change, which means that the vibes are different? Anyway, while they’re here, I’ll take S4 if they give it to me.

Weekly seasonal anime thoughts

Yuru Camp S3E08: Aki, Aoi and Ena’s Bus Camp continues. This was a mouthwatering episode! All the cooking and delicious-looking food made me hungry haha! It’s nice Toba-sensei again too.

The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio Ep7: I didn’t expect this episode to make me emotional! The reveal that Yubisaki is a big fan of Yuuhi Yugure and Yasumi Utatane was great because it made her character more interesting to me. I liked that she genuinely felt betrayed/sad that Yuuhi and Yasumi completely changed their image to their current ones. A lot of their old fans felt the same way so it was emotional seeing their fans still support them despite it all especially during the challenge scene.

Dungeon Meshi ep21: whoa, this episode is very interesting!!! We’re introduced to 2 different plot points and it is very exciting! Very curious about the elves and Kabru. Also Laios being the prophesied hero that will defeat the mad magician and be the new king?!?! 🤯🤯🤯

Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc ep1-2: I’m genuinely happy that Demon Slayer is back! This season is a great one for character interactions between the cast and it sets up a lot of plot points for the final climatic battle with Muzan.

Hibike! Euphonium S3E07: the buildup of Mayu and Kumiko’s relationship continues to be so good! Kumiko attempts to get closer to Mayu since she felt guilty about being on guard around her and in this ep, she finally understood why she felt uneasy around Mayu. Mayu reminded her of her past self during middle school. The visual storytelling in this ep is amazing and it really shows the distance between Mayu and Kumiko. Very good stuff!!!

Loved seeing Natsuki and Yuuko again as well!

Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night Ep8: this was another heartwarming and emotional episode! JELEE’s first anniversary live didn’t go as planned but they managed to pull it off together. I loved that Kiui was the one who suggested the idea of an online live. The idea that we can connect together despite being in different places is very relevant. The scene with all the JELEE fanarts got me emotional! However, with Kano’s identity being exposed and her mom reaching out to Mahiru, things are about to get messy for sure.

Whisper Me a Love Song ep7: things are getting intense with Shiho and Aki! I do love Himari’s relationships with Momoka and Shiho though. They have such a fun dynamic. Though Shiho doesn’t know that Himari’s girlfriend is Yori yet…

As for the production issues, it definitely sucks seeing the production fall apart but personally, it doesn’t stop me from enjoying the show. I hope people will support the manga as well the anime staff too.

Seems like there is a weird tug war going on with the tags of YGO female characters in Pixiv, because I don’t think there is this many pictures getting deleted. I guess some Western fujo got really mad.

***

Anyway, looking at the main girl tags, it seems Aki is by far the most favourite, with Asuka going in second, and Yuzu being a rather distant third. All of them had more pics tagged for them, but the number keeps fluctuating rather anormally.

For the lesser girls, Kotori seems to have slightly more fanart than Aoi, though that gap will likely close sooner than later, and Romin has fewer than both, and I don’t know if she’ll reach her initial surge of popularity ever again. None of the lesser girls currently have more pics tagged for them than Serena, though, and Ruri is not too distant from Romin. 

(I haven’t looked at Anzu’s tag, but most of her heyday was with the original manga’s fandom, and most of the fanart for that is in like old message boards. Look to 2ch archives if you are brave I guess.)

Among the bracelet girls, Rin has by far the least amount of fanart, though that seems less of a issue of fanarts themselves, and more of an issue of stuff not getting tagged. Also her design doesn’t leave room for much fetishization I guess.

As a general rule of thumb, it seems ARC-V characters, and their Decks are more popular than the show itself. Much like the Western side of the isle, most of the fandom seems to going by their fanon interpretations than the canon interpretations.

This is kind of a weird situation, as this implies we are stuck with legacy support for ARC-V characters for a while, because the characters are simply too popular, but since they are more popular than the show itself, Konami must actually continue to go through the trouble of inventing actual new support for the characters, instead of simply referencing stuff from the show in new cards as it traditionally does.

Of course, Pixiv is less of a barometer for fandom popularity than 2ch is, but going there outside of leak searching is not something I can recommend.

Tsumasaki Ni Kourozu, by Aoi Aki. Released around 2000.

Summary :  Iwai Arata was recommended by his professor to work part-time under a rather eccentric mycologist, Dr. Murota. The mycologist seemed hard to approach at first. But slowly as he got used to Iwai's presence, he became friendlier in his own way, showing Iwai a whole new world and giving him guidance in life. Iwai eventually develops feelings for the socially inept Dr. Murota, and he in turn realises his change of heart towards Iwai.

While this kind of mentor-mentee dynamics is well explored in fiction and mangas in general, this story stood out to me in the haunting quality of the mangaka’s art style, the slow paced and natural resolution of the events and the realistic depictions of the character’s emotions and development as people. It’s never over the top, the events play out in a way that seems earnest and real and somehow the two central characters seems believable and as close to life as it gets.
