Hiii, it’s Monday again!
Every week I tell myself that I’ll get more stuff done and end up not succeeding. So instead, last week I told myself I wouldn’t overdo it and got fucking sick 😭 The universe is sending me mixed messages.
But also! More people purchased Mob/Idia doujin while I wasn’t looking hehehe thank you so much for your support once again! I am super happy you got it and I hope you enjoyed reading it.
Anyways. Replies! Sorry, only recent asks again this time. Twst and Blue Lock.

Heeey Ryu, I was wondering if you, by any chance, are fluent in Japanese?
You seem to know a lot of Japanese media, and I’m curious :0 Of course you don’t have to answer, but IF you’re fluent in Japanese, how did you learn the language? Cuz I’ve been struggling personally.
Anon! Unfortunately, I am not fluent in Japanese at all :( I really wish I was, but I am just a dumb gaijin with an online translator and a dream. I can’t even read hiragana/katakana very well (Katsu can though hehe even though Katsu is probably going to deny that)
So I can’t really give you any specific advice, buuut what I can say is that consuming all kinds of jp media (anime, interviews, manga) and translating it for your own consumption certainly helps. While I don’t really know Japanese, I have a lot of random tidbits of knowledge just because I spend a lot of times googling stuff like “[insert Japanese phrase] meaning” + compare translations in different translating apps just to make sure I understood it correctly. When you are invested in something (again, any kind of media), it can seriously boost your learning speed.
Also, follow a lot of jp creators just to always interact with the language or maybe even with the said creator. Everyone talks about how important it is to communicate with people to learn languages, and I feel like this is actually very true.

A list of tops and bottoms in Blue Lock, please 🙏
ASKING REAL QUESTIONS, ANON!!! Yes! What a good opportunity to talk about it hehehe.
I’ve highlighted those who we are the most interested in, i.e. those who we already have some sketches with. For now it’s like this:
Tops: Isagi, Reo, Zantetsu, Shidou, Yukimiya, Karasu, Gagamaru, Aiku, Tokimitsu, Naruhaya, Igaguri, Wanima bros, Nanase.
Bottoms: Nagi, Rin, Sae, Chigiri, Bachira, Niko, Ego, Hiori, Barou, Aryu, Raichi.
???: Kunigami, he just keeps giving us mixed messages, I can’t believe just how much this man confused us. And Otoya as well, but his antics feel intentional – “never let them guess your next move *deepthroats the first person he sees*”
The rest we either haven’t thought about or didn’t really discuss all that much… We also haven’t touched anything after ch150, that’s why probably a lot of people are missing.
Still, I hope I’m not missing anyone important. We’ll probably update this later.
