“I’ve decided I can’t live the life of a priest any longer.”
“What?” Hwa Pyung tries to ask, but his mouth is full of rice and eggs and maybe something else Gil Young would rather not think about. Choi Yoon just takes a sip of his black coffee.
Being the most rational of the three, and also the one with her mouth empty, she decides to take the lead.
“Choi Yoon, stop playing games.” As if the man would recognize a joke even if the joke possessed him. “What do you mean, not a priest? Are you going to leave the church?”
“Since the church of Christ is where I’ll always lay my faith and hope,” he answers, solemn like always. “and since the sacrament of the Holy Orders is an indelible mark in my soul, I won’t ever leave it. But I can no longer keep the cassock without tainting it with lies.”
“Stop being philosophical, it’s too early for it, I don’t have the energy.” Hwa Pyung finally swallowed, and Gil Young wants to argue he’s a fisherman now – he must wake up earlier than that usually, no? “Just… what the hell are you saying, lies? You’re the best priest in this whole nation, or your prayers wouldn’t be able to banish evil, you-”
Choi Yoon doesn’t let him finish: “Hyung. I’ve made my decision.” He raises his eyes, looks at both of them with the intensity only he can muster. “Lately, I can no longer keep my hearth true to the vows I once took. I must step aside.”
Oh. Oh. Gil Young understands immediately. Oh.

Here’s a tribute to my beloved Ryu Sasakura, Aiba’s character in Bartender.
WARNING: It contains spoilers.

Sometimes you will find a most beautifully written story on ao3
To the Death / The Rambutan Tree by T-Boy (tehtariqk)
Hang Tuah/Hang Jebat, T.
A fairly straight-up retelling of the Hang Tuah story, from his first meeting with Hang Jebat, to Jebat's death at Tuah's hands.
Here are some titles that I feel deserve more love than they get!
From the New World - This anime was a masterpiece. Paced and well-planned, the show entangles you without you knowing until its too late. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to sink their teeth into a psychological fantasy that leave you with a strange mix of innocence and uneasiness.
Princess Jellyfish - A love story between a confident and fashionable crossdresser and an awkward, introverted girl. This is golden!
Welcome to the NKH! - Just the right amount of humor and psychological torment to keep every viewer enthralled. Is it a conspiracy?
Monster - What happens when a promising young doctor saves the life of a boy who was fated to die? A gripping thriller of justice and revenge!
Bokurano - A group of kids become the chosen pilots of a robot faced with saving the planet, a beyond awesome experience for them!…or so they think. They sign the binding contract and now each one of them must pay the price.
Wolf’s Rain - As legend has it, wolves will open the gate to Paradise in a dying world. This anime is a gripping, heart-wrenching tale of an unlikely pack of wolves searching for promised Paradise. Out of any of the shows on this list, Wolf’s Rain is worth watching. It is a legend it its own right.
Samurai Champloo - THE MUSIC. The music alone should be enough to draw you into this epic tale, but in case you need more persuasion, know that this show revolves around the two most badass fighters in town and their quest to help a girl they are indebted to find the samurai who smells of sunflowers. Ugh its so gooooood.
Mawaru Penguindrum - Weird and comical sum up this anime pretty nicely! It is a fun watch that you will find hard not to binge on once you start. Stay with me people: An alien penguin-hat grants a girl her life back in exchange for her two bothers’ help in acquiring the Penguindrum (whatever that is). I know what you are thinking, but please give it a try! You won’t regret it!
Eden of the East - “This nation faces a great crisis. One among you must save us. I cannot tell you how. I cannot tell you why. Should you fail, you will be eliminated.” 12 people have been chosen to save Japan, each given a phone with 10 billion yen on it and the simple instruction to save Japan–their lives are on the line. Despite this harsh description, the actual show also has an element of humor, so don’t be afraid to jump in! Noblesse Oblige.
Steins;Gate - Many of you have probably heard of this and thought that is was too stuffy or complicated for you, but I’m here to tell you that you will watch this show, make it to episode 22, and then thank me. YOUR WELCOME. Sure, this show takes some getting into, but once you delve deeper into the plot, you will find things falling into place. It has unconventional characters, a really great romance stuck in there, and a pretty refreshing, sciency tone. Enjoy.
Nodame Cantabile - To think that so many people have not seen this gift to humanity sickens me. Nodame is most assuredly the most interesting and unique anime character to walk this little anime earth. There is music! There is romance! There is SO MUCH HUMOR! There are 3 seasons!!! You can’t really pass up this opportunity to watch a legend.
Hunter X Hunter (2011) - This is the only long-running shonen series I will ever watch. This is a series for those of you who like action but not fight scenes that span multiple episodes and like actual character development and good animation consistently throughout the show (I swear its perfect the whole way). Gon wants to be a Hunter just like his father and he meets Killua, the boy-assassin (an resident cinnamon roll), Kurapika, the last of the Kurta clan hell-bent on revenge, and Leorio, a guy who wants to strike it rich. Follow these four on a journey you won’t forget!
