And This Is Why I Simp For This Man - Tumblr Posts

All those people who say "we don't have enough role models of positive masculinity" my dudes do you just not know of Kazuma Kiryu? He's the single manliest character in all of mandom. He is the epitome of man. He literally punches tigers and deflects sword blows with his pectorals. The most hardened killers in the world tremble at the mere mention of his name.

He's also just the dudest dude. He's respectful, empathetic, shockingly open minded, good natured and great with kids. He's self admittedly shy and awkward around women but at the same time no woman could ever make the mistake of finding him threatening. He's not exactly the most open with his emotions but he's also clearly not averse to them either, in fact he's an extremely passionate and often quite vulnerable man. He's allowed to smile and laugh and cry and despair and run the full gamut of angsty J-drama goodness without it ever being implied to somehow make him less masculine. Also, and this is most important, he's a giant god damn DORK.

Kiryu's a man who gives everything from baseball to disco dancing his 110% at all times and is never afraid to make an absolute fool of himself. There is not a self conscious bone in his entire body. Were we all only so bold as to be as unapologetically true to ourselves as this great big beautiful doofus of a man.
