seisub reel around the fountain.

seishirou drives a white van. god this is so. idk what to say even

hokuto would use actual swearwords meanwhile subaru wouldn’t even say heck. at 16 at least. that is my take.

‘darn it’ and ‘what the heck’ in this tokyo babylon translation so unserious. like this is life-alteringly traumatising work of fiction i think we can handle damn and hell…

clamp manga ranked by how they portray the concept of soulmates from cardcaptor sakura (love is a beautiful thing! even if your soulmate doesn’t love you back the same way you can still get joy out of being around them!) to tokyo babylon (having a soulmate is literally the worst thing that could ever happen and will ruin you)

tokyo babylon is about how soulmates are Real and the worst thing that could ever happen to you

i do think tb is the best clamp plot twist because it works so well thematically with the idea that subaru’s story is just another tragedy and he is just like all the people he’s been helping… hurt not just by seishirou but by the city itself because things like this happen in tokyo every day!! thesis of the whole manga in a way…

ashura-ou could have just not had kids but nooo he had to be a freak about it and go down the cannibalism route…
