All the Given hugs 🤗

All the Given hugs 🤗

These hugs are rare but when it happens, it's amazing. My heart feels so full looking at them 😭. I love every little skinship that I can get from the boys.

I may have missed some other hugs, so please share if there is more.

Ahh I miss them so much!

To all the pup lovers 🦮🐕🦴

Haruki with a golden retriever is soooo precious and it's so fitting too. I am probably biased as I have goldens myself.

As always Ugetsu looking sassy with a fancy dog

Shizu is holding a dog named Hiiragi 😂

The way that Uenoyama is trying to look cool while holding that pup is hilarious 😂

What kind of dog do you have?

Mafuyu - Pomeranian

Uenoyama - French bulldog?

Ugetsu - some kind of Terrier?

Akihiko - Husky or Alaskan Malamute?

Haruki - Golden retriever

Shizu - Shiba Inu?

Hiiragi - Toy poodle?

Little Mafuyu and Shizuragi ☺️

I love these faces so much. I just can't with little Hiiragi face haha. Bratty as ever. Not a care in the world and just does whatever he wants. I love him 🫰

The context of the first panel though 😭.

The boys phone holder 📱

Got these ages ago, these are very unpopular merch, people usually don't want them cause as you can see on pic 2, once the phone is on, it covers their gorgeous faces.

But I treat them like acrylic stands and I think they are gorgeous, the vibrant colors. A little pick me up on my work desk. They are also relatively cheap.

They are also huge, a quarter for scale. If you want bang for your buck, get these.

Poker on Ice, my place... Come on over!

I suck at poker but with these cards, who cares 😭. I'd fold at every Victor's card. I can't with the Makkachin card. I love it sooo much.

Repost, as I didn't know I couldn't share the link of where to get it. Sorry mods! I'll do better

New merch : Boys with glasses

Haruki looks like a gorgeous teacher that I would have a crush on 🥰

Shizu being a PE teacher 😍

Mafuyu somehow has that gentle piano teacher vibe...

Uenoyama feels like a strict homeroom teacher "Do your homework or I'll beat your ass!"

YOI on YAOI Day 🫶

Best juicy lips and seductive eyes. This iconic scene that gives the world nosebleeds and simultaneous heart attacks. I also screamed a little too loud during this scene and woke the entire village.

Apparently to achieve such lips you will need a $52 bucks Chanel Hydra Beauty Lip Balm 😂

Happy National Yaoi Day!

Side note : When first joined reddit, my noob self thought YOI sub is the same as YAOI sub. Haha.

The tsundere that strums his way into our hearts. Happy birthday!!! 🎂🎈

The one that shaped Given; Mafuyu's pillars and safe place🫶

"Your song shook me to the core!"

"I think the heart is similar to these strings. When the pain is too much to bear and you can’t breathe, it hurts, like the strings laid across your chest are about to snap. It’s just like when you keep strumming and picking at the strings at their very limit, and sometimes they snap. Sometimes you feel like they can’t ever be replaced. But if there were someone to replace your strings for you, like this… I feel like your wounds may heal just a little."

"You did so well out there."

"Hearts are like guitar strings. They won’t play sound if they’re too loose. You have to wind them up until they’re about to break, and that’s when they become a wave that hits your eardrums."

"The Mafuyu that was unleashed by that song yesterday was amazing. Even though the last thing I wanted from him was a love song, he blew me away. Where could he have possibly stored all that sadness in that skinny body of his? If there is a next time... I want it to be me."

Fun facts : Uenoyama shares the same birthday as Taiga Hirano from Sasaki to Miyano. Apparently August 1 is also YAOI DAY 😀

Of course he is high maintenance 🙂‍↔️

The most expensive lip balm I ever owned is 15 bucks. This Chanel bougie stuff is $52!

I love him anyway 🥰 but my poor ass won't be able to afford him haha.

If YOI ever resurrected, God damnit I will get that lip balm!

Young Sasha and Mikhail 🥰

I absolutely ship them. Old man yaoi for the win haha. I'd die for their spin off/side story. A girl can dream right? I have always thought that Sasha is hot 🔥!

I am not built for this 🥲nonetheless please enjoy Atsushi's face in HD 🙏

My niece and I with the Genius behind Given's masterpieces.

My noob self has never taken pics with anyone famous. This is first and probably my last haha.

I thought my fangirl mode would be at full blast and would prepare me for this but instead a robot took over😭😭😭

I never considered myself shy, I thought taking pics with someone famous should be easy. I thought I was bold. Well I was wrong.

I wanted to say thank you and express my love but I was so nervous and disoriented and ended up didn't say a thing! MAJOR FAIL. I didn't even take a good look at Atsushi's face.😭😭😭

To the one that I would give the world, Happy Birthday Haruki!🎂🎉

He is one of the kindest and the most selfless. He has the most gorgeous hair! I love Haru so much!

"Music is all about communication... You should communicate with him better"

"Then, let's make one tune into a song"

"What's with that end of the world look you got there, run down to the station and buy a new one!"

"If it's broken you just gotta fix it!"

"Ever since I fell in love with Akihiko, it's been like my prayer for something to happen..."

"I started growing my hair out..."

"I am somehow really lonely after hearing Mafuyu song"

I finally get to check this one off the list.

Thank you Centimillimental for an amazing night! Atsushi didn't disappoint! I think I screamed a little too loud when he sang Super Ultra I Love You! It's my absolute favorite song.

The bonus : very very cute bass player and guitarist and drummer is amazing as I could feel the beats in my heart!

Guitarist - Takayoshi Murata

Bass player - Kazuya Nagami

Drummer - Takato Nagashima

I have been wanting to do this for a while now, it was hard to find the right timing and location. But I am glad I pulled the trigger on this one. Life is shorter and later than you think so YOLO!

Some auspicious coincidences 🙂‍↔️

Today is 7/11/2026

Given first premiered in Japan on 7/11/2019

Centimillimental concert date 7/11/2026

Sunday morning with Akiharu🌻

I do not like mornings. But I do look forward to a cup of coffee with Akiharu.

🎵 Easy like Sunday morning 🎶

Romance on the haunted rooftop ghost 👻 🥰

Ahhh the tenderness ... It's little things like this that I love.

Akiharu may not have a lot but this is literally one of the most romantic illustrations ever.... No need for fancy dinners or diamond rings. Just a little picnic at the rooftop.

I am guessing Akihiko knows a little bit about stars now? Since he can play violin, drums and piano too!

I adore Akiharu.
