"we may just be a little shonen'd out" i feel you guys. even though shojo is my favorite genre, if i stick to the same thing all the time it can get a little repetitive, so it's nice to switch up the genres every now and then.

2025-02-02 07:44:04 +0000 UTCHi, thank you for wonderful reaction! About been alone, I always think that people likes to be alone when they can choose to. But when you are alone with no choice, that's the time we can't endure. I'm grateful to all the kind and caring people around me and I can be alone without worrying about anything:) BTW, the arrow that Uo is holding in the start of the episode is one of the new years lucky charm in Japan. lol Have fun and take care!

2025-02-01 09:41:38 +0000 UTCHi J&J, interesting to watch this episode in the Lunar New Year holiday. Happy Snake Year everyone! Hope we will meet the snake Sohma soon. 😉 I believe there are many kinds of introvert, and one kind is people with high empathy. Empathizing with others is hard emotional labor, also this kind of people often want to maintain a comfortable vibe for everyone, which is exhausting. I think that’s why these people need to be alone to recover/recharge. Well…it is my case and I think you two might be similar. After all, from the scale of 1 to 10, in my opinion, you two have the empathy level of Tanjiro. Haha Speaking of various types of love, I feel there is a common feature in the true ones, accepting your whole existence. Tohru accepts everyone she knows unconditionally, regardless the good/bad sides, or the forms they are. This kind of acceptance must feel like a warm sunshine to the people who have been called “cursed” from the day they were born. I truly hope every person on earth finds themselves accepted and understood. :) Last but not least, like other people mentioned, I’m grateful for your reactions too. 🫶🏻 I’m also grateful whenever Shigure is on the show because then I can hear Gojo’s voice lol. I didn’t respond to your question about my name before, but I’m not Mikasa (obviously). Gojo Satoru is my tall husband (190cm) and Levi Ackerman is my short husband (160cm). Hence the hyphenated name. Haha

2025-01-31 16:37:35 +0000 UTCi am a very introverted person and am usually very happy on my own, but when i am with 'my people' i'm pretty easily social but my battery will run out and i'll need time to myself again. my husband is extremely introverted to where he doesn't even really want to socialize so i have to be his extrovert when we do things and that's tough 😂 it's hard to be an introvert when our interests are so extrovert coded, like going to concerts or talking to people online 😅

2025-01-31 15:41:47 +0000 UTC"We like being alone in the company of others who like being alone" 💯 So real! This is one of the many reasons I love this Patreon. Of course we come for the reactions, but the community is also 💖

2025-01-31 15:25:20 +0000 UTCHi J&J, Late comment and many have already said this- it makes us very happy that you are enjoying this show, having insightful discussions and loving the OSTs so, truely, thank you for sharing your Furuba journey with us. And thank you to our lovely patrons for your comments, fun facts and stories- I love reading them after each episode and it truely warms my heart and brings a smile to my face 💜 I watched this years ago and now rewatching this episode with you, my heart feels heavy. Tohru’s innate kindness, extreme selflessness and empathy may have stemmed from a place of deep love and understanding from her mother/ friends and those around her. But she also constantly worries about being a burden to others and hardly priortizes her own feelings like she was seen here crying alone sliently with a picture of her mother, before Yuki and Kyo came bursting into the house. And then she tries to cover it up. It makes me think about how her emotional and mental state must be. But thats one of the reasons why this show is so loved. As viewers we see how kindness changes another, but to be reminded that self-care is just as important. Thank you for your reactions J&J, and looking forward to Furuba Thursdays! 💜🙏

2025-01-31 10:56:04 +0000 UTCYou are hearing given names, nicknames, and family names for each character along with honorifics (e.g., -san, -chan). Here are some main characters you’ve met so far (given name first, family name second): Tohru Honda Kiyoko Honda Katsuya Honda Shigure Sohma Yuki Sohma Kyo Sohma Kagura Sohma Akito Sohma Momiji Sohma Hatori Sohma Kana Sohma Arisa Uotani Saki Hanajima Hatsuharu Sohma (new) INFJ here! I work and interact with 900+ people 50+ hours a week. I purposely structure my Friday nights through Sunday evenings doing things I prefer to recharge which typically includes a select few people or no people at all. A necessity for me! Thanks, J&J. Love that you love Fruba!🫶🏻

2025-01-31 02:35:44 +0000 UTCAs an introvert myself, i can relate so much! I'm not a very outgoing Person. Of course i enjoy the Company if i find friends i can be myself around, if i meet the right kind of people. I can be funny and even talkative. But it's like my social battery is just smaller than other's? I often need 2/3 days for myself too, because i have no energy. As much as i love meeting up with Friends, it's always a little stressful for me, like going to the restaurant, attending festivals or big Birthday and Family gatherings.. But like i said, that doesn't matter. When you get to know the right kind of people, they won't judge you for taking times off, like you wouldn't judge THEM for it. I have this Understanding and Freedom with the Friends i have, and that's enough for me to know it's okay❤️🔥 You Guys keep being yourselfs too, the right people will love you for that!🤗

2025-01-30 21:57:17 +0000 UTCLoved everything about this reaction! Thank you for the shoutout Jared & Jordan and for giving us the opportunity to share some gratitude ☺️ Tohru is love in physical form. To people like the Somas especially Yuki and Kyo who struggle loving themselves and who have trouble expressing their love - Tohru is the perfect guide. Being around her is opening their eyes and showing them that they are just as important, their feelings matter and they can do what makes them happy without feeling guilty. In return, they’re starting to put what they’ve learned into action by helping Tohru. She rarely asks for help because she doesn’t want to be a burden, but they show up for her anyway. They become her pillars of strength that she can lean on like when she moved back to her Grandpa’s and today when they ran back home to spend the new year with her. I also love how Uotani and Hanajima work behind the scenes to make sure Tohru is always taken care of. It definitely makes a difference when you’re surrounded by the right people. As an introvert, I completely get what Jared is saying. I love being alone, my family are a bunch of introverts too lol We can be social when we need to be and go out when we have to, but best believe we already have a set plan in mind on what we’re going to do while we’re there, who we’re going to talk to and what time we’re leaving 😂 Since our family is big and we were raised together, we always joke around that we have no friends because we‘ve always been each other’s friends. I have 5 close friends - all introverts and we don’t hang out often, but our time together is always fulfilling and refreshing. Interesting how the people we surround ourselves with can impact us in such a way! Happy Year of the Snake! 🎇🧧 🐍

2025-01-30 20:18:54 +0000 UTCHi J&J! Happy new year to you and all of this beautiful community. I wish you the best! You mentioned, at the beginning of the episode, the arrow on Uotani Arisa's back (the blonde girl ^^), it is called a Hamaya and it's one of many traditions for the New year in japanese culture. "Hama" in hamaya stand for destroying evil and "ya" is arrow. So basically, it is an arrow that you can find in Shinto (japanese religion) shrine in order to "shoot down evil" and bring good luck to you during the year. The tradition wants that when you visit the shrine on the 1st day of the New Year you bring the old arrow that protected you last year and a miko (shinto's shrine maiden) will give you a new one to protect you for the new year. I had the chance to do it on 2023 (year of the rabbit) and exchange it last year (year of the dragon) and it's so cool that i don't know if I want to exchange it next time I have the chance to go to Japan ^^. Maybe I will take a new one, you never have enough protection after all ahaha! I think it’s also important to mention that in Japanese culture Christmas, unlike occidental culture based on Christianism, is for couple or maybe friends (mostly couple i think) and New Year is for family with a lot of traditions, foods and activities to do with your family (some were mentioned in the episode, like watching specific shows, eating Soba noodles, and watch the first daybreak of the year). Knowing that only deepen the sadness that you feel for Tohru and the loneliness that she must feel as everyone go back to their family. In my opinion, it also shows how meaningful the return of Kyo and Yuki was for her and how now they are her family. That was long sorry about that ^^. I will finish by saying that I’m grateful for the life that was given to me so I can feel (good or bad vibes^^), enjoy my hobbies and appreciate beauty in all forms and spirits. I’m also grateful for the laughs that I’m able to share with my loved ones who accept my dorky, ditzy, sarcastic mind ^^. Finally, I’m grateful for your reactions which see beyond good graphics and good fight scenes (don’t get me wrong I love it too ^^) and are able to see the real emotions, lessons and morals that the mangakas are trying to teach us with a beautiful glimpse of their culture (icing on the cake). Bless you and have a good dive in your emotions with Furuba, Let’s go!

2025-01-30 20:17:33 +0000 UTCHow fortunate that this reaction came out on the second day of Chinese New Year! 🎊🧧 Happy year of the Snake! 🐍🎉 Tohru’s friends’ full names are Arisa Uotani (blonde girl) and Saki Hanajima (wave girl). Something to keep in mind so you don’t get confused in the future. ☺️ Also back in episode 7, Hatori said that he’s the family doctor, but that he mostly babysits Akito. This is because Akito is prone to getting sick, so Hatori spends a lot of time looking after him.

2025-01-30 18:56:43 +0000 UTCThis episode is so so heartwarming just seeing Kyo and Yuki running as fast as they can to get home to Thoru, touching to see the care and love they have for her 🥹 and thank you for the nice words earlier they meant a lot and the questions and for opening up what you guys are grateful for it made me really think about everything there is to be grateful for and made it easy to open up for me and others. 🙏
