I was literally just talking to Clock about how jjk doesn't have a lot of romance in it and the only onscreen kiss is between the twins and now this is just romance all the way down.
I will say it's one thing with a series like Bokurano or Battle Royale where the point is everyone dies anyway so the writing is REALLY dedicated to making it fulfilling and worth caring in some way but in more action-oriented series when ppl start dying a lot really fast it makes me like
Shibuya arc in jjk actually started toeing this line for me too but bc it took like 100 chapters to get there first AND the vast majority of the cast until literally a couple chapters ago were all introduced in like, the first 20 chapters and just came back eventually
at some point in my life I misremembered csm's inspirations as jjk and devilman instead of csm and dorohedoro but actually reading csm only strengthened this mistake despite you saying it was dorohedoro 2 seconds ago
me: ok
