I finished golden kamuy and now there’s no point to life
Golden Kamuy is a beautiful, poignant, and heartbreaking manga about loss, trauma, survivor’s guilt, sacrifice, the cost of war, and whether you can ever really find salvation for the sins you’ve committed. All while reverently depicting an indigenous group whose culture and language are slowly dying out.
But also…
…it is a manga where two men fight each other by jerking off and use their cum as a weapon until a third man gets the cum in his eyes.
we’re leaning real hard into the ogata is a cat metaphor and I’m here for it
well I’m now officially past the anime and things in golden kamuy are SO WILD
oh i also read takopi’s original sin over the weekend and…damn. that shit was dark.
well I’m now officially past the anime and things in golden kamuy are SO WILD
shame on me for forgetting about this scene
THE SEA OTTER SCENE IS BETTER IN THE MANGA THAN IT IS IN THE ANIME
I’m in love with sugimoto’s summer clothes

anime ogata has nothing on manga ogata
…definitely wasn’t expecting that
