#whatever fujimoto ends up writing i think i’ll be happy . unless it winds up being ‘abuse victims are incapable of love’

truly tho if I'm being honest, I feel like the idea of Denji truly ending up with anyone is really trivial. I like where the manga is going with Asa, that's really cute tbh, but I feel like obsessing over who he should end up with is really dumb because there's a whole point in the story that Denji craves intimacy above all else, not necessarily romance, he's just so stunted in his maturity that he thinks romantic/sexual intimacy is the only one that exists. Himeno, Reze and Makima all intentionally play on that because he's easy to manipulate, which was the point... Meanwhile, Aki and Power give him the love and support he didn't know he was craving, and end up making that dream of Denji's come true even if he didn't realize it at first, because that was the point of their family (even if Makima constructed it). My point is that people like to treat Denji and his love interests as a "will they won't they" situation, but it's really about Denji exploring what he truly wants in his life and ending up on the radar of people who want to take advantage of that vulnerability.

Sorry that was long but this has been On My Mind.

NO EXACTLY ‼️‼️ i LOVE the idea of denji and asa ending up together , they’re more or less the same character ( family’s dead , don’t fit in , secret devil in them , etc ) but ultimately whether or not they do doesn’t matter too much to me . that’s not to say im not rooting for it SO HARD because truthfully they’re adorable and i want to see more of them , but the people who are so hopefully optimistic that we will see denji settle down with a girlfriend / someone to raise his pseudo-sister are completely blindsided . whatever denji’s idea of love is has been permanently altered against his will . bah . fuck you makima
