Day 1: A Parallel Self (with a twist)

I took a different take on this one because I found a lot of similarities between Yuma Tsukumo and Sakura Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura.

athletic, but clumsy

habit of forgetting things and often runs late

on a mission collecting special cards

magic "keys" worn around neck

older sibling they often bicker with, but is very protective of them

phrase for encouragement (Kattebingu/feel the flow; "I will definitely be alright")

others are drawn to their cheerful personalities

prophetic dreams

at some point had to risk losing their most important thing/feeling, which involves someone they’re very close to

rival character who also collects cards, but later becomes a close friend

I also want to acknowledge that Astral and Flame from VRAINS, who have very similar personalities, are both voiced by Marc Thompson in the dub. That was the one of my biggest hopes for or the English version.

Something I love about M!iK and don't really see be often talked about is the morals of the story.

Shonen stories usually have to work under the same story restrictions of "power of friendship" and "we can accomplish anything by never giving up!", and while MIK certainly has that, I adore the way they twist it.

Yes, both tropes are present but taken to their absolute extreme. Power of friendship? Ok, here's a huge cast of characters who are all in some level Extremely Possesive of eachother. Never give up on your dreams? Alright, the cast are literal demons who feed on desire.

And the best part is that this is openly encouraged by the story. The story is saying "Yes, be selfish! Chase what or who you want without any shame! Take what you love and guard it ferociously because it's YOURS and no one is allowed to harm it."

Iruma's character growth is not connected to "how much more powerful can he get?" Or "how much better of a person can he be?". He's already powerful and he's already a deeply good kid. His growth is explicitly about how much more demonic he can be.

How much more tightly can he hold onto his loved ones and his desires.

How much more selfish.

Just how refresing is it to read a story where gluttony is a virtue and a goal?

Love her.
