panic! at the family restaurant

the yakuza bl (or bl adjacent) manga will save you

like i am thankful to the fans who point out how wonderfully positive satomi is, anyone normal when faced with "i'll quit when kumicho is dead" would have responded with "wtf?" but instead satomi goes to have a think in the toilet and turns it into a "so he's saying there's a CHANCE..."

the best part of being in famiresu fandom is reading the chapter and screaming and then reading everyone else's screaming and then rereading the chapter and then screaming some more

the way i just screamed

kyouji's sense of responsibility is so heavy... it isn't "i'll stay until kumicho doesn't need me anymore," it's "i'll stay until he passes." when he takes ownership of something, he'll do it to the end. he's afraid of forcing that on satomi. i get that... but i also want you to STAND UP, OLD MAN

can't stop thinking about kyouji wondering what satomi's definition of "forever" is. it's been two weeks since satomi said "it's better that we don't meet again." the years are long and so short when you are 43. if satomi needs me for two weeks, for three months, for four years, all of that is ok.

there is nothing to forgive, mistakes are a sign that the creator is there and was so excited to share it with us that even the desire for perfection was not a barrier!!!!!!!

you know what kobayashi sensei would do in this situation.... time for an invigorating run

狂聡　14話……

it is romantic to say "i'll be there for you, to clean up a murder / to pull an all-nighter / to stand up to your parents / to support you." but damn, it is staggeringly romantic to say, "call me anytime, to a mcdonald's late at night, to spend just a few minutes, of course those minutes are yours."

of course it's romantic to want to share someone's life with them, to want to hold them and touch them and support them. but it's a different kind of romantic to say, "can't you make just a little bit of time in your life for me? to meet up with me sometimes, so i know you are still alive."

it's not a bl manga where they're dating, it's not a shounen/seinen/josei manga where they're accomplishing anything together, they're not teammates or coworkers or even friends. they just want to be in each other's mundane (and not so mundane) lives.

what makes "i want to be with you forever like this" and "until you don't need me anymore, i'll be with you" so special in this context is that... what they want to do is just to see each other occasionally, to eat a meal, to have not even particularly fulfilling conversations with each other

kyouji expressing his love through food bc giving satomi fried rice at karaoke heaven was the only unambiguous gesture satomi ever accepted from him.....

i know it's supposed to apply to both of them but that line is so narita kyouji coded

kumicho is like "please take this dumbass off my hands.... i need him married and out of the house i can't handle hearing kurenai every quarter"

"anywhere is fine" is fine as long as one of you knows where you are going.....

"anywhere is fine, as long as it's with you" --> "it doesn't matter what kind of restaurant we go to, as long as you say yes when i ask" BUT ALSO "i will stay in this group with kumicho until he dies"

"anywhere is fine, as long as it's with you" --> i will accept anything as long as you give it to me --> satomi eating all the pork buns and then the burgers kyouji bought him even though he's not hungry / kyouji happily drinking a vanilla shake satomi bought him even though 18yo him overdrank them

I CANNOT WAIT TO REREAD THIS THANK YOU FOR SHARING

[cue mj lenderman's "she's leaving you"]
it falls apart
we've all got saizeriya shifts to do
it gets dark
we've all got yakuza karaoke competitions to do

"when will kumicho die? "what kind of question is that..." "k i gotta go to work" "ok bye" right after a momentous soulcrushing confession... who else is doing that

with the magical kaoru chapter and the mcdonald's convo here, there isn't a "setup" or a "payoff," the joke is so clearly observed in the moment and in the dialogue, so you want to luxuriate in it bc you don't know (unlike with a 4koma) what kind of dynamic is waiting for you in the next panel

maybe it's just been so long since i've had such a rush of emotion but i feel like famiresu chp 14 is so clearly the work of the same person who did sonohoshi, the comedic timing is so offbeat and disarming but in a way that makes you want to really linger in those moments

SHE IS OUR COMRADE... SHE WILL NOT LET US DOWN

can't believe my motto is now "when will kumicho die"

forgot this account existed... let's just say wym sensei makes me believe love is real
