Finishing up the month with World Trigger. Man this series went on a hiatus for several years but I never gave up. And my faith was rewarded!! World Trigger is a weird case, where it's actually really popular in Japan, but less so in english speaking circles. So... It's not niche?? I haven't really met many others who also like it though, but I love it to bits still.

All the main characters are goobers, but Kikuchi is my favourite still. Smart ass idiot. Socializes like a cat ass. It sounded like he was talking down to MIkumo at first, but Tokieda said "oh you guys had a conversation, that means you guys are friends". Several chapters later these fuckers are messaging each other on LINE... he really is just a cat...

Also it's funny when there's a bit of a cocky, rude-ass character with a backstory that would justify being insecure, but they straight up aren't. He's gotten over himself, he's hot shit now and he knows it. It's not hubris if it's true. The pool is too oversaturated with fake-confident characters that are secretly insecure, I think people are just projecting. THE CONFIDENCE DOESN'T NEED TO BE A FACADE!! SOMETIMES ITS REAL AND JUSTIFIED!!!!!!!
