Please don't tell me the story will be about ryuji from now on

i only like the mc and his journey into being an artist,i absolutely don't care about ryuji and find myself skipping the parts with him,i was glad we didn't saw him much the past episodes but this week's one was ruined because of him for sure.

Woww this was really intense. It's only when it ended that I realized I kept my breath, and could finally breath in again. My heart keeps hurting, I feel so much for both characters. The drama is rightly dosed, says enough to understand what's going on, without telling exactly what's wrong so the viewer fills in the blank and inputs his own reasons, often from remembering their teenagehod.

Loved the discussions and thoughts around colors too.

Oh and I was shipping Yatora x Yuka since the beginning so these moments are pure gold :3

That was an ounce of good direction from the show, had me worried a little as well.

Goddamn is Ryuuji hot. A very intense episode, especially with Ryuuji's family drama. Wonder what is going to happen at the beach if they ever make it there. A lot of off-model drawings in the 2nd half of the episode.

You just made me decide to get the manga with that picture alone! Thanks!

You're welcome! I'd start from the first volume (I'll assume that you did) because the anime changed a lot of scenes and cut through content to fit everything into one season. The manga goes much more in detail with the art-related content and what more. There were a few more beautiful panels I wanted to post but this one hit the hardest.

Anyway, have fun ^


Even as anime watcher also realized some cuts like I don't think Yatora interacted with Fumi Kamiyama before this episode or have I forgotten about her?

As much as a hate to be that guy, but as much as I tried I couldn't sympathize with Ryuji. The main reason is the sheer amount of guilt and manipulation she throws onto Yaguchi. It isn't his fault that he "always hides behind doing the right thing" (and yes I understand how Ryuji can resent him cause he can never truly be able to understand or help her although he tries to) but Ryuji having the expectation that it is someone other than herself's responsibility to better her situation is ridiculous. She expresses resentment to someone incapable of helping her when she herself isn't helping herself. It would make more sense if the character was activity trying to work on her mental health or something, but for someone who does nothing but express her own self loathing to resent Yaguchi for not being able to help her is in my opinion toxic.

I had the same thinks.

By the way, the the anime translators cannot decide if she/he is a boy or girl. Some characters use male's forms and some female's. At least in Polish subs.

If I remember correctly, pronouns like she or he are not used often in Japanese, so it is really difficult to translate. That also leads people to misunderstand some things (I remember reading a review where someone hinted that Yatora was doing wrong by referring to Ryuji as a "he", but that's just the way it was translated)

I want to see their pantings and the drawings in the sketchbook, they only let us take a little peek at it.

I feel like the scene at Yuka's home could've been very emotional but unfortunately the delivery didn't do it.

I'm sure this is a problem because of the anime adaptation and that the manga is different for this part but Ryuji's character development so far is kinda lame in a way that I just don't really understand him, I mean we barely have any information about him or his psychological side except that he's struggling because of his appearance and how he wants to dress like the opposite gender and being rejected in a romantical way and by his parents because of that, that's all so far If I'm not wrong, so I'm really looking forward hearing more of his story and especially regarding art.

Ryuji's character development is my favourite part in this episode. I really thought Ryuji was going to jump in front of the train.

Yuka just wanted know he has someone that would go that far for him, and that's why it seemed so selfish, he wold never want yatora to jump with him, but knowing he would was probably going to make him feel better. And thats just selfish, but well, everyone is sometimes

I felt the same way… yes its sad and wrong what is happening, but its not like yaguchi caused it and hes not a punching bag to throw your issues on and punch him for..and i dont get the lets drown together and stop me from throwing myself in front of a train.. that to me is almost manipulation to a point,,

I did like the background story neverthless and i do feel sad that his/her parents dont support at all but grandma does.. but yeah it didnt hit me hard somehow.. the rejection part and the X were more interesting parts to me

ngl that fatherly slutslap was well deserved and long expected. tough love ain't domestic violence considering the context of her disrespectful attitude.

Amazing! I really loved that they focused on Ryuuji's struggle and on the bond between Ryuuji and Yatora. I mean idk how close they were, but it was nicely done. It was very emotional and I got anxious at the train scene!!!

I really despise people like Ryuji's parents, they stopped growing and understanding anything about her they kept pushing their ideals and what they wanted without even asking and knowing the fundamental problem or existential crisis going on with her.
