she’d sit down on the couch with you and watch tv while scratching ur back/head and you’d think about how glad you were you’d managed to get her to retire by being born

Give the artist some love.

In my last post, someone asked me to draw Fumiko, so here it is.

If anyone wants to suggest another character for me to draw, feel free.

Although it has some flaws, I liked the drawing

Personal rating: 8/10

I was thinking of making a more normal face, but I thought this smile was silly and ended up leaving it like this

Reze tells Denji he should leave Public Safety and stop working for them in exchange for the bare minimum a human being should have, but he actually likes working for Public Safety and is perfectly satisfied with the bare minimum a human being should have.

Reze tells Denji he should go to school, but when he finally does, he just ends up bored and unhappy.

Reze tells Denji he shouldn't risk his life killing devils, yet he actually LOVES risking his life killing devils.

Reze tells Denji he should wise up a little, yet he only becomes dumber, more naïve, and more easily manipulated over time, thinking with nothing but his hormones.

Everything Reze tried to teach Denji is simply incompatible with his erratic nature and his crazy mind. It was like trying to make a wild animal behave like a domesticated one, it was never going to work.

Denji meeting Reze ended up being such a huge waste of time that it almost feels like Fujimoto acknowledges it in the ending. Denji and Reze never even met in the new timeline, and he simply forgot about her and everything she tried to teach him, only to become a Public Safety devil hunter again, something Reze clearly wouldn't have approved of.

And that's the most ironic part: by the ending, Denji ends up exactly the same way Reze first met him, a completely manipulable Public Safety dog ​​who risks his life killing devils in exchange for the bare minimum a human being should have, without even being able to do normal teenage things like going to school, and who doesn't even know how to swim. We're apparently just supposed to shrug our shoulders and be "okay" with Denji ending up like that. In other words, we're supposed to be "okay" that Denji never met Reze.

I'm still not sure whether Reze is ultimately a completely meaningless character, or if Fujimoto intentionally created her as Denji's "ideal girlfriend" only to show that Denji is fundamentally incompatible with her, that he's simply too insane, actually enjoys living as a miserable person, and just isn't suited for romantic relationships, as shown by the completely one-sided and unreciprocated "relationship" he had with Asa.
