#souboutei must be destroyed

[raviniaraven]

Y'know one of the things I really love about reading Souboutei is that there's a cast of incredibly talented characters that are the top in their field, and they're all not as powerful as the 1 man with good mental health and coping mechanisms. They all nearly die and Takoha is just like there to be everyone's therapist. He even sits with the owner of the house and chats with him like "you should process this shit dude"

anyone else who is reading "souboutei must be destroyed": the character designs are like, hilariously insane right? it feels like each character comes from a different manga. but specifically baki, yu-gi-oh, hunterxhunter, rumiko takahashi works, tezuka, and even maruo suehiro.

Does Souchi somehow care about his siblings deep down ? Also, did he enjoy the cake his cousin gave him for his birthday ?

Hello! Souichi ain't in at the moment, but this silly guy named Frankie Frankenstein* can provide an answer best as he can.

I think... in a lot of ways, Souichi was an incredible pain in the ass of a kid. But not in a way that's too special to just him. When you're young, wanting to be special, especially if you got the kinda dark tastes that maybe are weird to other kids... you don't always know how to act right.

So to me, as a humble fan, I think that Souichi probably really just wanted his siblings to think he was impressive, and cool. I think it's very telling that in his fantasies about being a scary grown up running a house of horrors, he still invokes his family members, you know? Like the selfish 'one day they'll see!' kind of stories a kid tells himself.

But I think that selfish desire to be impressive and scary shows he at least cared what they think about him. Maybe when he's older, they still won't get along! If he never stops being a pain until they're all adults, they'd probably still be in their rights not to want to hang out with him.

But then again, maybe those kinds of relationships are easier once you don't all live in the same house, too.

And I think he very much enjoyed that cake. I think the fact that his cousin hadn't given up on him entirely meant a lot to him; maybe more then he's really any good at saying.

I like to think when he's older, maybe he'll thank her properly. I also like to think maybe one day he could meet Oshikiri, and those two could calm down a little by being each others weird goth friends.

...Ah! Incidentally, for any Ito fans, let me humbly recommend a manga I have become very fond of! "Souboutei Kowasubeshi", aka "Souboutei Must be Destroyed" by Fujita Kazuhiro. You can find it on mangahere (which should have any ito chapters that lead to broken links on this blog, incidentally! My bad.) and i've found myself incredibly gripped by it. It reminds me in all the best ways of Black Paradox in it's mix of absurdist and horror, but much longer form. And maybe more... optimistic, maybe....? Well you'll see what I mean if you find it interesting. Not without it's flaws, but what is.

Ah! Hold on, I do have a message here from Souichi himself I think...? Lets see if I can read it through all the black ichor.... ah! Of course.

"Kyahahahaha!"

thanks for giving me the brainteaser "could goku destroy souboutei" to think about while mowing the lawn today I put way too much thought into answering that

adam and i briefly debated this and i said that the problem is that goku would let the aliens out so he could fight them and the comic would be "goku must be destroyed"

hey vyra 😊 i was wondering if you have general manga recs? you know me and my tastes... reading helps me keep my head grounded but i ran out of things i remember wanting to check

HMMMM HI PAPLI

i feel like i could only rec manga that i can't imagine you READING THAT'S THE PROBLEMGHGHG hmmmmm the problem is that i can only name story with horror element for some reason right now...(though it's just visually and not gore)

on top of my head hmmm let me just remember my all-time classics..(personal ranking)

dorohedoro of course but really ultraviolent, Ghost & Lady? absolute all-time favorite literally on my desk you might like it, Souboutei Must be Destroyed by same author honestly never left my mind then again, also has bits of horror and EVEN sci-fi...

now there's this shonen that, was just so feel-good and the tragedy was so well i thought i don't know, it's still an all-time favorite yknow? im: great priest imhotep
