Akane is the kind of girl I've always wanted to meet. It might sound strange to say that about someone who only exists in a story, but somehow, she managed to awaken feelings in me that I didn't even know were still there.

She has something that calms my heart. There's a gentleness about her that makes me want to stay close, even when nothing is happening. Just watching the scenes where she appeared, I felt that, for a few moments, life became less heavy. The world seemed a little less cold, a little less empty. It was as if, for a few minutes, reality ceased to be as gray as it usually is.

And perhaps that's precisely what enchants me most about her. It's not just her appearance, nor a specific characteristic. It's the feeling she transmits to me. The feeling of being in the presence of someone I could love calmly, someone whose presence wouldn't require me to be someone else. Someone with whom silence wouldn't be uncomfortable and ordinary days could still have some meaning.

Sometimes, I think about how strange it is to find comfort in a character. But perhaps this says more about me than about her. Maybe I've spent so much time searching for something I can't find in reality that, when I finally caught a glimpse of it in a story, my heart simply clung to it.

Akane reminds me that wonderful people exist. Kind, special people who can make someone's life more beautiful simply by being present. The problem is that such people seem extremely rare. Maybe there are many out there, hidden somewhere I haven't yet reached. Maybe one day I'll find someone like that. Or maybe I'll spend a lot of time searching and never find them.

And that possibility, for some reason, is sad.

Because when I look at her, I can imagine what it would be like to find someone who awakened that same feeling in me. Someone who would make the days seem lighter. Someone whose presence would be enough to silence the loneliness a little. Someone who would make me think, even on the hardest days: "Maybe life isn't so bad after all."

Maybe that's why I like Akane so much. She represents a possibility. A reminder that what I desire isn't completely impossible. Even if it's rare. Even if I might never find it.

In the end, I think what hurts me most is knowing that I can close the story, turn off the screen, and go back to my life, but I can't take that feeling with me. It remains trapped in that small world, while I return to mine.

Still, I'm grateful for having met Akane, even if it was only through a story. Because, for a few moments, she managed to make the world a little more beautiful for me.

And perhaps that's the closest I've ever been to finding someone I'd truly like to meet.

Even though, deep down, I know she can never exist in the way I'd like.

But I like to think that, somewhere, people like her exist.

Rare, perhaps.

Distant, perhaps.

But real.

And until I find one of them, I think I'll continue to hold onto this little hope.

What did you think?

You know what I'm talking about. Novel readers, if she finds out, please tell me how it went and what her reaction was?

I was happy to see this dynamic again, under different circumstances. This scene manages to connect the end of the work with its BEGINNING, and only those who have seen and remember the beginning know how powerful this will be. I'm glad Sanemi survived to see something he never hoped would happen.

Uma das melhores músicas do M4rkim, tá maluco, muito viciante. Não entendo como tem gente que não gosta das músicas de Blue Lock mano, pprt. Eu mesmo, nunca fui fã de futebol, nem ligava tanto e dei uma chance. Hoje em dia, eu entrei tão no hype de Blue Lock que estou acompanhando o mangá semanalmente, tá muito foda.

Nada contra os jogadores, mas o MH faz música de animezinho e do nada lança músicas de jogadores reais. Pra mim é tão vergonha alheia quanto ao Rap do Felca, pqp.

MH só se aproveita do hype, fato. Me surpreende o tanto de gente que escuta isso. Eu, pessoalmente não faria uma música me passando por outra pessoa real. É muito humilhante.

Qual o grande problema do jogo dos irmãos canibais que que se amam até demais?

The Coffin of Andy and Leyley é o jogo é um RPG psicológico, feito pra adultos, que é muito criticado por ter... bom, conteúdo adulto?

"Ah, mas o jogo tem incesto!" Game of Thrones também. Então a fandom de Game of Thrones apoia incesto?!

"Mas o jogo tem assassinato!" E GTA, Call of Duty e qualquer outro jogo de tiro, sei lá.

"Mas o jogo tem canibalismo...!", amigão, tem literalmente uma série super famosa chamada Jefrrey Dahmer que é sobre um canibal real, e não um bonequinho 2D cartoon.

"Mas a fandom é tóxica e romantiza tudo isso! 😭" É... bem-vindo à fandons. Tem gente paia na fandom de Undertale, na fandom de FNAF, de Omori, ou de qualquer outro jogo ou série. Então porque que o problema seria The Coffin? (Tem esquisito até na de My Little Pony...)

"O jogo tem ritual satânico..." você conhece Cult of the Lamb?

"Mas o jogo romantiza tudo isso e a relação deles!" Cara, durante o jogo inteiro, mostra o quanto a relação dos dois é tóxica. Em todos os finais, ou eles acabam mortos, ou acabam totalmente depressivos. A não ser que você acha que é romântico ver dois personagens se DESTRUINDO mentalmente (eu não sei se eu posso chamar isso de romantização).

Dito tudo isso, o jogo é incrível rapaziada, ele cumpre perfeitamente o desconforto e terror psicológico e faz você duvidar sobre quem está certo ou errado. Deem uma chance para obras que a grande massa julgam antes de tirar suas próprias conclusões.

I personally liked it more or less. I mean, compared to the light novel, Ichika seemed much scarier and more hostile in novel.

Anyway, what really disappointed me was that they cut the punch. Man, Ichika punches Kushida so fast and hard in the face that she only notices the pain and that she was punched when she's lying on the ground looking at the sky. Damn! That scene is awesome! It didn't deserve to be cut.

And it also seemed like Kushida followed Ichika of her own free will; they should have left a couple of seconds of the scene showing that Ichika is literally DRAGGING her.

That said, a really awesome episode. Nanase vs. Ayanokoji was peak.

the same sky

the same air that carries the breeze

the same moon and sun

the same tears

with your pure smile and mine

the same time that passed took you away

and forgot me...

Episode 10
