vinland saga 218 broke my heart. i have no clue what is going to happen in the next chapters. all i know is i don’t want thorfinn to cry like that ever again. literally the worst thing i could ever see. thorfinn works so hard and just wants to be happy but is always having to deal with something awful. i feel so sick.
i found this chapter so heartwarming!!! seeing how excited mitsumi is for her family to visit her was just so adorable!!! i also loved how happy her family was to go visit tokyo! the scene where mitsumi finds her younger sister was so beautiful. mitsumi is such a great older sister and person. just such a comforting chapter! <3

i love skip and loafer so much!!! it's one of the best new mangas being released, and the anime captures the beauty of the manga so well. characters like mitsumi are so hopeful and hardworking that you feel inspired to be just like her!! she's someone everyone can look up to, her energy is so infectious i can never get enough of her character! shima's character is so amazingly written, and his journey of self-discovery is so moving. shima is taking the time to find his interests and navigate his feelings toward friends/potential partners. it makes me so emotional to see how much effort he puts into bettering himself, and you can't help but root for him!! mitsumi and shima are one-of-a-kind characters that remind you of how special youth is. i will always love shimamitsu and skip & loafer!!!!!!!!!!!
i can not believe i woke up this morning to see aki hayakawa back in chainsaw man in 2024. i’m going to lose my mind I MISSED HIM SO MUCH. CSM 182 YOU BROKE ME AND HEALED ME.
THIS IS PERFECT I LOVE ITAFUSHI
lets just ignore canon for a bit longer
skip and loafer has done it again. i am a WRECK. shima has become one of my favorite characters EVER written and this chapter just made my love for him so much stronger. his growth has been highlighted for so many chapters and getting to this moment where the truth of the incident is revealed was incredible. he had buried his true feelings all these years, all for his mother’s sake. younger shima had so much pressure with no way to let it all out for so long. however, because of the new path he has created, he finally had the courage to face his past. he has grown to the point where he can confidently say that he isn’t miserable anymore. that he’s finally okay. he performs for his past self now, to show younger shima that it does get better, that there are happier days to come. stl 68 was so moving, you can read it over and over again and never stop. shima has come such a long way from the beginning and i can’t wait to see what else is in store for him.
