[Project] (KH)Re:born!!!

I've been wanting to do a pinned post talking/rambling about my projects, so I'll do it now while I've still got some free time!

Anyway, for various reasons including wanting to keep it simple (for goldfish brain reasons), @amiahoshi and I decided to call this project "Katekyo Hitman Re:born!!!". We call it either Re:born!!! or KHRe for short. I also tried editing a title logo out of it some time ago (inspired from the og logo) for whenever it will be necessary!

Actually, I've just been tagging posts under this project under #khre (since mid-2023) because when I type #khr, I'll immediately remember to also type #khre. Anyway, more info below! (Ein from the future: it will be long)

Note: For any typos/grammatical mistakes, sorry not sorry this is just me rambling, so no beta we die like Tsuna did every time Reborn shoots him in Daily Life Arc.

TLDR: This project has become like my creative sandbox playground. The KHR brainrot is still going VERY STRONG, and has been for the past two years. I can't believe I didn't discover this series earlier. I am so normal about KHR.

It's also inspired from T//oky//o Gh//oul's title, where it had "T//G:re". And it really just emphasizes the "Re" on "Reborn", meaning "again, do over".

In KHR, besides being named after our fave baby hitman Reborn, this concept also connects to a lot of the themes in the show, especially with Tsuna and his Dying Will Mode. Then there's also the whole Vongola 10th generation, who seem like the reincarnation or the "second coming" of the Vongola 1st generation. I'm sure there are others I haven't noticed yet or just forgot to mention here!

Anyway, KHRe is sort of a similar universe to canon, but not exactly the same. There will be additional characters, which are mostly our OCs from the Oniyanagi yakuza family for now, then there will also be modifications/additions to the story/lore as well (e.g. certain arcs/chapters will be rearranged, certain events will happen earlier). Tsuna retains his protagonist role in KHRe as well (im so fond of him), but he will also be joined in this role by the twin bosses from Oniyanagi, Kana and Kurumi.

Kana and Kurumi's addition here really puts the emphasis on the "Re", because their individual overarching stories provide more interpretations to the word itself "Reborn", which adds onto Tsuna's.

The tldr of the premise so far is that Oniyanagi and Vongola are business partners, so shortly after Tsuna met Reborn and Gokudera, the twins and Yui (their right-hand man) transferred to Namimori. This is so that they can help each other to grow and with their respective training as well to become future bosses of their Family (Tsuna doesn't want to become one of course! lol).

Along with Kana & Kurumi, three of their guardians (incldg Yui) tagged along with their move to Namimori, while two of them remained in their previous city of residence (Tokyo). In their guardian line-up, they currently have an empty seat for the Sun Guardian and they're still actively looking for the one fit for it. Perhaps they'll find them in Namimori? (Spoilers: Yes, they will. Their full line-up is here.)

So far, the major ambitious projects I have under this one are as follows:

Oniyanagi Wiki: This is a wiki site I made in Miraheze. I'll put it in public mode once I finish cleaning up Kurumi's character profile. We plan on compiling all character/group/story infos here for KHRe, which will also include AUs and alternate timelines. If there will be a lot of story divergence with certain canon characters, we'll also make a page for them there too (from the top of my head, so far, it will be Tsuna, Hibari, Enma, Kyoko & Haru). This is the project I've made most progress on so far, I learned a fair amount about making wiki pages hahaha.

KHRe Webcomic: A webcomic that features KHRe's story. Just like canon, it starts with Daily Life Arc. Right now, I'm just thinking of drawing intro chapters for Kurumi, Yui and then Kana for it. But I'm also tempted to just go full-fledged webcomic retelling of majority of KHRe lol like just for deadass committing to the bit. I just really think it will help me improve my art a lot because it will force me to draw other stuff I haven't tried to seriously learn how to draw before (like have you seen the improvement in TOG Webtoon's art style??! Damn...I want that too.) KHRe also has stories that continue past KHR's final arc. I want that high school, TYL and alternate future timeline content too y'know! I think I want to finish drawing at least one chapter by Q4 2024, I'll have a lot of time to focus on this after my exam on June.

Into the Looking Glass: This is a Horror RPGMaker game in the planning stage and it features a prequel story for Kurumi's childhood (around 8-9 years old). Long story short, it does follow the classic formula of a small kid exploring a scary/creepy place by themselves. Don't worry, she will also have a companion or two here! (So...just like Ib.) The title is very much still subject to change, but I referenced Alice in Wonderland for it. Because it's Baby Kurumi (Alice) stumbling in an otherworldly place (Wonderland) and the events that take place moving forward changes her life. I already have a plot and ending(s) in mind, just need to write a script. This will take a very long time to complete, but I wanna finish it eventually because I'm also a big fan of Horror RPGMaker games and I've always wanted to make one (this is my chance! I alr have a story! Just need to write and execute it!). Here's a very old concept art of the baby! I'll draw a new updated one when I get the time (the only biggest change here will probably just be the eye pupils, which really isn't much).

KHRe Test Game (no title yet): Less ambitious than previous three. This will be a very short RPGMaker Game with Tsuna as MC. This is just me testing and learning the features of RPGMaker before I go do more work for Into the Looking Glass. The game is just about Tsuna being invited to the Ninomiya Estate by Kurumi and he has a very "fun" time there 😂👍✨ (just like a normal Daily Life Arc episode~). It won't be horror, but maybe for Tsuna it will be 😀 So far, I managed to make a map for Tsuna's room (and some other parts of the Sawada Residence) for the intro scene hehe

As for other projects that are less ambitious and more doable in a shorter time, I do have MV Projects for KHRe plus a few shorts (like this one) I plan on drawing them in. I listed my priorities here (along with the major projects) and will try to update when I can (ideally, at least monthly...but definitely not for June 💀).

That's all for now! THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK!! (seriously...because this turned out so much longer than I thought it would be 🗿...I will now proceed to hide under the rock again).

Any questions are always welcome and very very appreciated! 👀✨I really just love talking about this series, OCs (mine and others') and my projects!

REVIEW | "Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko" | B3 - Boston Bastard Brigade

It’s often the kindest people that are the most gullible. Yet even when fate deals them a bad hand, those folks will still bet it all in hopes that the table’s bluffing. Win or lose, the best revenge to enact on rough patches of life is to keep on living well. That is the big lesson in the forefront of Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko, the latest film from director Ayumu Watanabe (After the Rain) and Studio 4ºC (MFKZ).

Based on the novel by Kanako Nishi, Forutne Favors Lady Nikuko focuses on its titular character (Shinobu Otake), a single mother to daughter Kikuko (Cocomi). She’s a big woman, whose loud personality makes her the talk of the small fisherman’s town. Yet her gentleness and kind heart has no bounds, a trait that Kikuko knows can be both her strongest and weakest point. The two take things day-by-day, as friendship conflicts, the discovery of boys, and a mysterious aspect of Nikuko’s past take the two through life’s strange-yet-relatable motions.

One thing this film does right is the presentation of Nikuko herself. At first, it would appear that her weight and personality are some sort of comic relief, which they do have their funny moments. But Nikuko is not a character meant to be laughed at, but rather with, as she tackles hardships with a big smile and plenty of food ready to consume. In a way, she’s very reminiscent of the late Louie Anderson’s performance of the endearing mother Christine in Baskets, one that looks to be funny at first before transforming into one of the best & brightest characters around.

Kikuko, on the other hand, brings a realistic portrayal of a girl on the verge of womanhood. She embraces her tomboyish ways, with hopes of never getting her period and having her body stays the same. But a new glimmer of life comes into her life when she gets closer to classmate Ninomiya (Natsuki Hanae), who brings forth some of the funniest and expressive facial expressions not seen since 2018’s Asobi Asobase. Nikuko’s daughter also deals with conflict with her friend Maria (Izumi Ishii), as the two middle schoolers deal with finding their place in school in ways that counter one another.

[filliteapot]

i live for josei manga! it seems like there are so many series that never get a release outside of japan tho. :( what are your favorites that you would recommend?

Okay, I made some lists in the past and I’m not taking any of those I had put there back, but I wanted to make a new list of recs for a while, so I guess it’s high time to do so.

All time recs: 

Ikuemi Ryo’s works: my faves are Kiyoku Yawaku, Taiyou ga Miteiru, Principal, Anata no Koto Wa Sorehodo. But. Pretty Much everything by Ikuemi is worth checking.

Tamura Yumi’s works: the obvious 7seeds and Basara aside, I beg you, read her Neko Mix Genkitan Toraji. Also, she has some quality oneshots like this one.

Okazaki Mari’s works: & (I didn’t like it when I first tried to read it, but last year I opened it and it got to my heart), Tomodachi Ijou (second oneshot is something I reread to feel better) and Suppli (love from the first page I saw)

Nishi Keiko’s Otoko no Isshou (it has some things I don’t rly like reading about and yet it owns my heart) and Koi to Gunkan (sadly, translation was dropped)

Umino Chica’s Honey and clover (and 3gatsu no Lion)

Higashimura Akiko’s works: Kakukaku Shikajika (her best work imo) and Tokyo Tarareba Musume

Yazawa Ai’s works

Attention: I know that some of these go as shoujo or seinen but it’s just bc they were published in shoujo/seinen magazines which doesn’t change the fact that these are Josei Authors to me and frankly I don’t give a damn about how they are labeled so no need to tell me about it. Thank you very much.

Stories I mention less often:

Konishi Asuka’s Haru no Noroi

Watanuki Yoshiko’s Manatsu no Delta (a real jem imo, keeping an eye on this author from now)

Fumino Yuki’s Saraba Yoki Hi (I feel like when Ikuemi’s TGM ended the Universe tossed this one to me bc it knew I needed something else with the same lvl of pain and ability to make me rage and want to die while reading but not dropping the series)

Omoide no Toki Shuurishimasu by Tani Mizue (story) and Yamaguchi Izumi (art) - I read it years ago on otakumole, not sure if there’s     translation anywhere else.

Hozumi’s Usemono Yado

Ninomiya Tomoko’s Nodame Cantabile

Katsuta Bun’s Chikutaku Bonbon and Daddy Long Legs (oneshot collection)

Kazuno Tani’s works (Her oneshot In The Pocket is the right mix of slice     of life and fantasy-or-was-it-a-dream-like experience which I appreciate     so I want more of her works)

Ima Ichiko’s Hyakki Yakoushou (not romance, darker fantasy with  Japanese folklore creatures)

Kodama Yuki’s works (her stories are not my 100% faves, but I love the art and the nostalgic atmosphere)

Morimoto Kozueko’s Koudai-ke no Hitotobito (for the humour and The Poor Little Bjorn)

Yoshimura Akemi’s Bara no Tame ni (the main romance annoys me so much but this series overall does have good things so I’m putting it here)

Tanikawa Fumiko’s works (cute romance oneshots mostly)

Things that caught my attention that I still need to check out myself:

Ikebe Aoi’s works (Zassou-tachi yo Taishi o Idake)

Nanamaki Kanako’s works (Minato Machi Neko Machi)

Yoshinaga Fumi’s Ooku (an award winning thing, I’ve read the first volume and wanna continue bc it is interesting indeed but I can’t read it with a lighthearted attitude)

Shimura Takako’s Koiiji (I feel like I’ll be raging a lot while reading about unrequieted love and bad life decisions but I’ll check this one)

Opening a New Rubric: Things I Want Translated

Sugita Kei’s Chouyaku Hyakunin Isshu: Uta Koi. I yelled about it so much last year, so I want to mention it here too. The anime for Uta Koi is a rec too, but the manga has more stories and contents.

Okazaki Mari’s Suppli (I’m that “let me in” meme but “let me read it let me reaaaad” as this story got me caught with raws only - I knew it was over for me when I saw this page)

Kuramochi Fusako’s Tennen Kokekko and Tsuki no Pulse (in love with her style and wishing to get Tsuki for personal reasons)

Itoi Key’s Hana to Hoho (I loved the summary and Nishi Keiko’s comment on it, would love to read it one day) 

Isoya Yuki’s Nagatan to Ao To (for the sake of Yearning and Food)

Iwamoto Nao’s works (they look so interesting and I love the style)

Nemu Yoko’s Sandaime Kusuriya Kyuubee (several oneshot collections of hers are translated, but I’m not really into them, and I want to read her longer series much more)

Ikuemi’s new series: Ichinichi Nikai and her adaptation of the novel Eine kleine Nachtmusik (looked through chinese raws > cried bc of Ikuemi’s powerful storytelling getting to me even past the language I don’t understand at all)

Anything by Katsuta Bun

Webtoons - I’m (sooo) not a big fan of this format but there are good josei-like stories in it so I decided to mention them too:

Yaggug’s Unlucky Mansion

Go Ara’s stories (some of them are pretty much pessimistic but ugh they hurt me and left a mark – yeah I’m looking at you, Teenager Younghwa)

Kim Ji Hyo’s Hans and Emily (I got such a good fairytale feeling from this one and loved the style)

Uni life stories like Cheese in the trap or Love Barometer (I enjoyed them pretty much in the past, though I haven’t finished both stories yet)

This is it. For now. I’m not sure what you expected from me when asking about josei recs, but I guess now you can see how much I love talking about it. :“)

Of course, the new josei suggestions (and asks about stories in general) are always welcome.

KHR Hanami Event 2024 Day 2 ❄️ : Thaw (Source for the base ref is here!)

[einsatzzz]

"My alone feels so good, I'll only have you if you're sweeter than my solitude." —Warsan Shire

[einsatzzz]

a whole family of them terrorizing my brain

from L -> R

Kurumi (Boss/Sky): A super charming and outgoing fashionista who possess extraordinary strength and a friendly nature. She specializes in hand-to-hand combat, but does have a greatsword.

Minato (Storm): A hot-headed and mean delinquent who loves fighting. He's not the right-hand man, but he wants to become the right-hand man really badly. He has a personal grudge against Yui.

Hiyori (Sun): A member of Namimori Middle School's Health Committee and an assistant at the school clinic. He would prefer to not get involved in illegal things like the yakuza. Unfortunately...

Yui (Right-hand man/Lightning): A genius mechanic and jokester, who often skips classes but passes anyway. He likes staying behind the scenes. He's also bestfriends with the Kana & Kurumi.

Rei (Mist): A seemingly perfect student but is actually a schemer beneath the facade. His hobbies include making money and conning people. He's an illusionist (unsurprised).

Shiki (Cloud): A snobby and moody nerd with a talent for sniping. He only follows the people he admires and rejects anyone else otherwise. He is bestfriends with Rei (actually genuine).

Rosa (Rain): A skillful and dutiful maid who smoothly handles both home cleaning and battlefield cleaning. While Kana & Kurumi are her masters, she also sees them as younger siblings.

Kana (Boss/Sky): A cold and asocial leader with a talent for killing. She cherishes her "family", especially her twin sister. An old soul that hates it when people get in her way. Don't get in her way.

Dunno if you'll enjoy this. But happy Birthday!

Have some Birthday OC questions! Answer whichever you want whenever you want!

How do Kana and Kurumi celebrate their birthday? How do they celebrate Yui's birthday?

What is Kurumi's favorite cake flavor?

What is Kana's favorite birthday present she ever got?

Does Yui have a birthday habit he likes to do every year?

And what's your favorite thing to do on your birthday? :3c

Thank you so much for sending this! I really enjoy answering OC questions !!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 (Also sorry it took me more than a week to answer djdgdnbsbs)

How do Kana and Kurumi celebrate their birthday? How do they celebrate Yui's birthday?

Other people in their circle get surprised when they find out about this, but Kana and Kurumi actually celebrate their birthday separately! Kana celebrates hers on December 13, while Kurumi celebrates hers on October 18. And it's always been like that for them.

Kurumi would drag her friends and family outside to celebrate! Among the trio, Kurumi's would have the liveliest celebration. On the other hand, Kana doesn't really actually care that much about her birthday, but she doesn't mind going along with whatever Kurumi and her family would prepare for her. She exerts more effort for Kurumi & Yui's birthdays.

Similar to Kana, Yui also doesn't care much for his birthday and would actually prefer if the spotlight isn't put on him. Kana and Kurumi usually just prepares a super private simple celebration between the three of them.

What is Kurumi's favorite cake flavor?

Kurumi's favorite cake flavor...probably something peach flavored because that's her favorite fruit hehe XD (also her name Kurumi literally means "red peach" hahaha)

What is Kana's favorite birthday present she ever got?

Anything she receives from Kurumi is a favorite birthday present hehe But I guess the most favorite one right now is the smart watch-bracelet that Yui & Kurumi made for her (Kurumi designed it, Yui then made it). She almost always wears it.

Does Yui have a birthday habit he likes to do every year?

Not really, since he doesn't care much about it unless Kana & Kurumi prepares something for him. He often even forgets about it 💀 (to be fair, Kana sometimes forgets about her own birthday too. It's all up to you on this one Kurumi 🫡)

And what's your favorite thing to do on your birthday?

I'm gonna be honest and say I usually don't really look forward to my own birthday, I often get moody around this time and the day really is easier to get ruined for me. But the one this year is way better than the last few years, so I'm actually pretty much feeling ok with it this time!

[einsatzzz]

San//rio Cafe Collab Reinforcements! This is one of the artworks I commissioned (skeb-style) from @azaracyy and it's so 🥹🥹💖💖✨✨ I really recommend commissioning her here! TLDR of the stuff Cyl & I talked about:

Kurumi helps out with serving the food! She's super strong, so she can carry several plates in one go. The pudding that Kurumi is carrying is a replacement for the one Tsuna dropped when he slipped. She does her job smoothly, they just strictly don't let her prepare any food in the kitchen.

Kana helps out with taking orders! She's very effective at keeping certain customers from having any ideas of self-entitlement (they're too scared). She may or may not be in an "assert your dominance" competition with some other members of the staff (e.g. Hibari). A fight may break out sooner or later.

[einsatzzz]

OC ask OC ask!!

How did Hiyori and Kana first meet? What was their first impression of each other? 🤩

trying to do something different and fun when answering oc asks! kind of like an ask blog? this can be like yui's version of haru's haru haru interview hehe lmao also yeah, this is inspired from gi/nta/ma XD the drawings can be inconsistent for this one as i'm trying to figure out how i want it to look while still making sure i finish it quickly

OC-tober Day 5: Relationships - Kurumi & Kana

Twin heirs to a yakuza family. Despite having contrasting personalities, they get along very well in a "if one of us dies, i hope i die first" and in a "if something happens to my twin, i'll kill everyone in this room and then myself" types of ways.
