My Favorite Fruits Basket Quotes Part 1—TOHRU

(My first volume has been lent out and not returned, so we don't have the classic plum quote, sorry)

A lot of these are kinda sad bc I really love the part of the story where we learn about Tohru's inner demons

"I believe it, too. I want to hold every memory in my heart and believe in it. So that I become strong enough to stick it out, and to one day overcome them...until they become precious memories." (ch. 23)

"For me, it's always the people around me who give me the strength to go on." (ch. 30)

"Just like you've listened to all my whining, Kyo-kun, from now on I want you to let me hear your complaints. I want you to tell me when it's hard, when you're scared, when you're weak. I want us to be able to confront your troubles together. Together...just like we've been doing. I want to live, eat, study, and struggle together! I want to be with you!" (ch. 33)

"After all...you have courage in your heart." (ch. 38)

"Maybe the truth is that no one is born with a 'reason.' Maybe that's something each person has to find on their own. A reason for being born, a reason to stick around, a reason to exist. I think everyone has to find it on their own, and decide it on their own." (ch. 45)

"I have a feeling that I can't even find the words to describe." (ch. 48)

"I want to protect them. I want to use all the strength I have to protect the paths they're walking on." (ch. 67)

"I can't give up. Something...there must be something I can do. I want to believe that. I have to believe that." (ch. 67)

"The warmth in our hearts is proof that there is light. It's so small that it seems like even a tiny wind might blow it out...but the light is definitely there." (ch. 72)

"My heart aches. It feels like it's going to be torn apart. Is it because my outrageous wish doesn't stand a chance? Is it because I know that some wishes just don't come true? Even so...I'll keep wishing." (ch. 75)

"Every night greets the dawn. There is no night that goes on forever." (ch. 99)

"One step at a time...I want to unravel these mysteries, these truths. One step at a time." (ch. 99)

"I know I'll have to do something when the time comes...but I think I already know what I'll have to let go of." (ch. 108)

"My heart was breaking on my way home that day. I was crying ugly tears because I could feel it yet again...the feeling of something fading away. Fading away into 'memories.' And even if I don't forget the loneliness and sorrow that tore me apart, the memories themselves are fading, too. No matter how much I try to hold on, no matter how many times I swear it to myself...time moves on, and they begin to fade. It's cruel." (ch. 114)

"And that 'me' is becoming a memory, too." (ch. 114)

"I'm ashamed. I'm dishonest, weak, and dirty." (ch. 114)

"I can't. Stop...don't go anywhere. Don't leave me." (ch. 114)

"I'm sorry...for being such a coward." (ch. 114)

"I can't get the words out. I have to gather up my courage. Courage...it's time to be brave. I'm not going to put the lid back on. This feeling...can't be stopped anymore. It's time to be brave." (ch. 114)

"If change is part of life, then it's such a cruel kindness." (ch. 121)

"I've decided...I can't remain at a standstill anymore." (ch. 121)

"Neither people nor feelings can be bound, frozen in time." (ch. 121)

"Just as all good things, happy things, fun things must come to an end...scary and sad things will also come to an end. Always. Even if you can't believe it when it happens, please...please don't give up. Live. I want you to live. You might make mistakes or lose your way, but please...please live. Don't ever stop moving forward. Please...that's all I ask. Don't give up. Even if I'm no longer at your side." (ch. 122)

"I do want to be with him. Not being able to...breaks my heart. It breaks my heart." (ch. 129)

"I've always been lousy at hiding my feelings." (ch. 129)

"I could hear those words dozens of times, hundreds of times, thousands of times...and I would still think this is like a dream." (ch. 129)

"I really love you...and that love is invincible!" (ch. 129)

"I'm so thankful that you're feeling this pain for me, in my stead. I'm so thankful..." (ch. 133)

5 Very Short Manga That Will Fuck You Up for Very Long

Manga is a medium of opposites where black and white is colourful, and less is more. The shortest manga tend to stick with me the longest, their lack of specific details and explanations make the FEELING left behind that much stronger. I rarely have much to say about this kind of manga. If it’s only 5 or so chapters just read it for God’s sake, and get that FEELING. Reading a synopsis for a short manga basically gives half of it away, so instead I’m gonna go through each of these and try to convey what specific FEELING they make you FEEL.

#5: The Gods Lie

5 Chapters / 1 Volume Paperback MangaDex MyAnimeList 

When I was eleven I skipped school in the middle of the winter and went to the store instead. I bought a sleeve of oreos and sat on a park bench, just eating them there alone. No reason for it that I can remember. That’s the feeling that “The Gods Lie” will leave you with. Oh yeah, if you were hoping these feelings were gonna be like “catharsis” or “bittersweet melancholy” I’m sorry to disappoint. When I said specific feelings I meant specific.

#4: Downfall

8 Chapters / 1 Volume Paperback MangaDex MyAnimeList

Think of your wildest dream. The thing that will most likely never come true, but if it did you would be the happiest person in the world. Thought of it? Okay now imagine that it sucks and is terrible… stupid even. Downfall or “Reiraku” is actually just Asano Inio’s life after finishing Oyasumi Punpun. It’s about how much he hates being a Mangaka, and I relate to it heavily because I really hate writing this blog. Downfall is like the feeling of when you get something you really wanted but then turns out you’re still you, the same prisoner in the same old flesh. Eventually you will find a new goal to delude yourself with but that transition SUCKS boy.

#3: My Broken Mariko

4 Chapters / 1 Volume Hard Copy MangaDex MyAnimeList

It is rare to find a true example of sigma male literature, it is even more rare to find sigma female literature. While I’m not gay and/or a woman, “My Broken Mariko” really left an impression on me; I imagine it’s an even stronger impression for a sigma female reader. Some people say this manga romantisicizes suicide, but it didn’t make me want to kill myself at all. This manga will make you want to go out on your balcony on a cold night and smoke a whole pack of cigarettes in one go, not in a gross old man way, but like a cool doomer girlboss way.

#2: The Man Without Talent

6 Chapters / 1 Volume MangaDex MyAnimeList

If only I could find rocks like these… Yeah. What feeling is this? I don’t actually know. Dude I don’t think I want to know. What the hell. It’s like when you drop a glass in the kitchen and just watch it shatter to pieces as it hits the floor. Then just staring at it for a while before taking a deep breath and lethargically cleaning it up. Why didn’t you catch it? Why didn’t you at least try to catch it? Man if only I could find rocks like these…

#1: I Sold My Life For Ten Thousand Yen Per Year

18 Chapters / 3 Volumes Novel MangaDex MyAnimeList

If you ever feel like maybe you’re enjoying life a little too much, you can always turn to “I Sold My Life For Ten Thousand Yen Per Year” aka “Three Days of Happiness” aka “Stare at the Ceiling and Wonder Where It All Went Wrong Tutorial”. I can guarantee after reading this nothing will be funny for like 3 days at least. Peak fiction.

I'm snowlin trash hehehe
