TERRAFO REREAD: VOLUME 12

So yeah,the moment arrived. Here it is, in this volume is the chapter that DESTROYED me when i first read this manga. But at the same time, is one of my faves because of its cover and all of the Michelle/Akari moments 

As always, do not expect a reliable summary in here and beware of spoilers from volume 12 onwards.

First thing Amelia worries about after waking up is if they were able to get in contact with Earth. And I think this says a lot about her as a character. She doesn’t worry about her state, even though she was about to die. Amelia just want to know if she was able to help her teammates. 

Mainly sharing this as a reminder, because in future volumes Daniel tells Michelle her voice was the reason they were able to save them. It’s because of this, the moment Amelia was able to fix the transmission, the one who sent a message to Germany and could explain the situation was Michelle. As fort the rest got in contact with Earth during 10 seconds, Shokichi’s not sure if they reached USA or Japan.

So we have to thank Amelia because they were rescued due to her.

I hate Kai, Bao and everyone inside that ship with all my might. But I must say I still like its design

I HATE HIM, LIKE REALLY HATE HIM. FUCKING SEXIST AND MISOGYNISTIC BASTARD. FUCKING COWARD THAT ONLY USES DIRTY TRICKS BECAUSE HES UNABLE TO DIRECTLY FACE ANYONE CONFRONTING HIM. IF HE WASN’T FOR HIS FUNGUS POWER HE WOULD SPEND THE WHOLE SERIES CRYING UNDER  A BLANKET BEGGING TO BE RESCUED.

Sorry but just thinking about him, what he has donde to Michelle, to Akari and what he’s doing to Shokichi, puts me in a bad mood. I can’t stand him. Nope. 

I really like this drawing of Liu. Till this moment he has been shown as someone evil and suddenly, this. His human part. Crying for Akari. 

This part confused me a lot the first time I read the manga but now that we know that his prioriy all this time was to keep Akari from being captured by China, betraying both the ANNEX project and his own country. Now we now what this means, how he’s asking his enemy  (Joe) to save Akari from the Kuzuryu, because he prefers him to die rather than be used.

If there’s something I really like from this series is this kind of details. How something so small that doesn’t seem to have any importance, is in reality telling us something about some character that is going to be relevant in the future. 

Headcanon: Bao has a thing for hitting buttons with all his might.

Aaaaaaaaaan let’s start with the pain :________________________D 

BEWARE, BEWARE!!!!SHAMELESS SHIPPING FROM NOW ON, YOU’VE BEEN WARNED, SHAMELESS SHIPPING!!!!!!

it hurts me to see Michelle like this. The whole series even when she’s sad or angry she at least has a vivid expression. She’s a fighter, even on the verge of death. But here she’s utterly defeated, she just can’t keep going. Michelle has given up, and it’s quite clear just by looking at her expression. We can’t blame her she’s been supporting everyone and now it’s completely overwhelmed. She’s the kind of person who always want to protect the ones around her,and in her current condition that’s not possible. Michelle’s not used to depend on anyone so when she feels she can’t be dependable anymore, she breaks down.

Remember when some volumes ago I emphasized that I love how Michelle and Akari support each other? Here is another example. As she has  given up and Akari’s condition is not as bad as hers and he’s aware of that, he’s the one getting up to fight. 

And when he decides to fight for her, the only think she can do is ask why is he doing that. let’s remember that Michelle was someone who grew up alone, not having a lot of friends, focusing in her studies, her future, the mission to avenge his father. She’s always been alone sho for her it’s inconceivable that someone wants to risk his life for her. Michelle is someone who grew up with the idea that she doesn’t deserve to be loved, and Akari is proving her wrong.

Akari telling Michelle that she shouldn’t say sad things while he’s crying. That it’s soo sad for her to die on her birthday, or dying wihtout loving anyone, that oveall you want her to live...That’s beautiful. But that’s also stupid, you moron, she loves you! Dying without loving someone, he says, you dense idiot , I say. 

Also you it would’ve been great that you just told Michelle that you love her, that’s enough explanation. Thank you.

IT. KEEPS. HURTING. Since the moment he decided to protect her she has been looking his back.That’s why she was the only one who realized, and even though he just told Michelle he wants her to live, she acts instinctively to save him. She doesn’t think, she doesn’t say a think, she just let he body and her reflexes work instead.

Also, it’s great seeing in a seinen manga a woman jumping in front of a man (who is not her son) to save him for a change. It’s unsual.

These two pages are the ones that always make me cry. Even more than the next one that I’m going to share, when she “dies”. Akari was the first person Michelle felt like hugging, and it has been like that since the day they met. And it was not insant love, it was becase she sees herself in him. They know and understand each other in a way anyone else can’t. 

She, a similar way he did just some pages ago, thinking he is the person she wants to survive the most, it’s a prove that she love him. Romantically or not, let’s leave that aside for a moment, but she really loves him. 

Michelel is so happy because she thinks she has been able to save him, she uses her last words to tell him to not cry for her and to run away; and her last strength to caress his face and smile at him. She’s amazing and deserves all the good things in the World. 

Akari is devasted. He doesn’t want to believe it (no one wanted to believe this when it happened, you should have seen me). And even if this double page is not as sad for me as the previous one, it’s still devasting.

That’s it. Here is when something inside Akari breaks and he completely loses control. I hate seeing him like this, mainly because I can get an idea of all the pain he’s feeling because of Michelle’s death, an he does not deserve it. None of them deserves this.

Headcanon “Bao has a thing for hitting buttons with all his might”: confirmed.
