Manga Quotes

“While you were sleeping, Nirei and Suo brought those gifts to you. And I made this for you. It's because someone else that's not you... made the move. You sleep and rest and when you wake up there's food and water." "Wh- whatever. I can buy food by myself, too." "That's not what I'm trying to get through to you. Even if it's something you can do on your own... if others are doing it for you... then you're freed up to do something else. Every human can only do the things limited by the time on their clock. There's only so much you can do on your own. Well... I say that. But letting others do things for you... relying on them... is always a bit scary at first.”

“Hey Sakura? What're your thoughts after listening to Kaji?" "I-I..." "There's a lot I can't do. I do a lot of things that make me look pretty pathetic or lame. But I'm not scared. That's because everyone here will accept me, no matter what I do, so I can do anything without having to worry. That's why I think it's okay for me to do the things that others can't. 'It doesn't matter how stupid they may look', 'I still like him'. Everyone has those close connections. We depend on others and let them depend on us. We forgive them, and they forgive us. That's why we're all together. That's why it's okay, Sakura. Trust Kaji. Trust your friends. And jump right out there with everything you've got!”

“Inside me, there is an organ more important than my heart. Although you can't see it, I feel it going right through my head and down to my legs, and I know that it exists inside me. It's the one that lets me stand up and walk forward. So that I can walk forward, without ever trembling. If I stopped here I feel like it would break...My soul would break. Even more than if my heart stops beating, to me that is the most important. Even if I become senile and my back gets bent, I still have to walk forward.”

“By the way, Kanji-san. I heard that Roppo-Ichiza doesn't have many members. If you'reup against a crowd, then you could've asked Sasaki-san and the others for help." "We'll be fine. Roppo-Ichiza's a lot stronger than you think. It's true that we've got fewer people than a team like Furin. But we make up for it with the best of the best!”

“The Japanese have two words: "uchi" meaning inside and "soto" meaning outside. Uchi refers to their close friends, the people in their inner circle. Soto refers to anyone who is outside that circle. And how they relate and communicate to the two are drastically different. To the soto, they are still polite and they might be outgoing, on the surface, but they will keep them far away, until they are considered considerate and trustworthy enough to slip their way into the uchi category. Once you are uchi, the Japanese version of friendship is entire universes beyond the average American friendship! Uchi friends are for life. Uchi friends represent a sacred duty. A Japanese friend, who has become an uchi friend, is the one who will come to your aid, in your time of need, when all your western "friends" have turned their back and walked away.”

“All beings so far have created something beyond themselves; and do you want to be the ebb of this great flood and even go back to the beasts rather than overcome man? What is the ape to man? A laughingstock or a painful embarrassment. And man shall be just that for the overman: a laughingstock or a painful embarrassment… (…) Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman—a rope over an abyss… What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end: what can be loved in man is that he is an overture and a going under…”

“Why...? Why didn't you say anything? I know that you were hiding something. But I never asked. I didn't think I needed to. I trusted you to tell me when you really needed help. All you have to do is say it... and no matter when, no matter what, I'd be there to save you. You can at least count on me when you're going through a tough time! You're not going to get away scot-free the next time you even think that you're a bother! You have absolutely no idea just how much I love you!”

“Someone that has things will never understand those with nothing!" "Never understand? Really? Well of course how can I understand?! It's not like you understand me either! If our environment is different, then what we think, and how we feel, will all be different. No human can fully understand another person's situation! But what I do understand is that you must've been suffering a lot. That has nothing to do with how we're born, what gender we are, or if we have everything or nothing!”

“I'm sorry. I didn't know anything about you, but I acted like I did. You know, here, on this street, I'm able to do what I like most. But in the past things were different. I was just like you. I was suffering so much. But there were people who reached out and helped me. The reason why I am who I am today is all thanks to them." "So what?! Well, good for you! Is that what you wanted to hear from me?!" "I don't know the details about why you don't have anything you like. But you're just like my past self. I can tell that you're suffering just like I did. That's why... I want to help you!”

“Hey. I've just thought of something which I shouldn't think about. Hey. Whoa, wait a minute. I feel like I'm thinking of even ore things I shouldn't. After all, I can't want, nor wish for it, because I'll never get it. Even though there's no way that guy's life will belong to me. Why am I this upset? We met more than ten years ago. But even on the day we first kissed, and the day we first slept together, somehow, he has never... told me he likes me, much less that he loves me. I've never said it either. And yet, I've only told him to stay by my side. I thought that was enough. I hate this. Why am I fixated on that man? I don't want to realise that now. That I want him to love me. I want him to love me. I want him to love me so much I could die.”
