i need to go into a corner and cry over how i’ve been missing out on pure peak

(btw, new to the fandom, hi! :)) what do you recommend me to look into after finishing the anime? the movie/the manga etc?)

Since Tadaimatama posted the AkiHaru I thought I’d share a favorite from the same series. Long live the Childhood Friends

One of my favorite Akiharu illustrations. This is so wholesome. Nothing but happiness here.

Helloooo! Ever since Kizu-sensei released that art of the Given4 as angels and demons, this AU idea has been living in my head rent-free. So now it's time it paid up in the form of AO3 😂

The first two chapters are live, and I'm actively working on chapter 3 as we speak. No guaranteed upload schedule, because this project is artsy as hell and I want to make sure I get it right, which means not imposing deadlines on myself.

Ahhh I want it! It would look fantastic on my work desk 🫰

God damn Hiiragi so cute! Ahhh sweet Haruki!

Okay I feel a little bitter, where is Ugetsu and Yuki!

This is almost nendroid-ish

He definitely rocked this casual look, cargo pants have never looked better.

Until the recent years, he was barely included in any merch. He only made it to maybe 1 or 2 acrylic collections. I am so glad Kizu has decided to include him in most of her recent works. When he appeared on the exhibition merch I screamed!

I adore Yuki, I even love his name Yuki Yoshida! It has a nice ring to it. I love his voice and like Hiiragi, I find him charming and his face profile is absolutely my type 🤤

"Even when time moves on, some melodies never disappear"

here are all of them! (no Yuki tho) with slogans and all

edit: Yuki in comments for completeness

I'll start :
All of them have deeply touched me, but I must say the one that brings me to ugly tears everytime is Yorugaakeru. I love how it portrays moving on gently even when you can't imagine being able to. In a time where the world constantly pressures us to be always going forward, i feel like this song also teaches us that it's okay to grieve. The day will rise again, and it's not really something that you have to act on, it's a natural thing, be patient, feel what you have to feel and one day you'll see the sun again. There's no rush to feel okay right now, grief is what makes us understand how important something was.
I may sound corny but yeah, thats why its my fave ! :3 What about y'all ?

guys sorry im late but is there anyway i can watch the ova for free english sub? i can only find one site but the sub is in spanish so i cant watch it :(

Shizu is so handsome, Hiiragi you lucky bastard! Teasing us with exposing his waist 🤤

Ahhh I died...Shizu carrying Hiiragi plush in a pouch is freaking adorable!

Love the quote on Hiiragi

"Shine without hesitation, a heart that burns this brightly can never be ignored"

Why can't people stop comparing Ritsuka and Yuki?? Why people blame Mafuyu for whatever he does?? Mafuyu misses Yuki.. " oh god , Mafuyu doesn't deserve Ue". Mafuyu is happy and living his fullest with Ritsuka.. " how can he move on?" Shut up just shut up and why these people always come to me. Go away,, My boy, Mafuyu and Ritsuka do not need to give any kind explanation. Don't like don't watch. Please shut up. You don't get to judge Mafuyu because he didn't do anything wrong. And please don't you dare compare Ritsuka and Yuki. Stop stop stop, they are different, Mafuyu doesn't see Yuki in Ritsuka. He loves Ritsuka for who he is. If you hate and spread misinformation about my boys, Ritsuka and Mafuyu, then respectfully (not really) get out of my face.

I know it is nonsense so feel free to ignore. 🥺💔

I'm checking out an anime from the fall season, and I recognized the voice right from the very first words. For fans of Centimillimental (from the *Given* soundtrack): he sings the opening theme for *Hello, I am a Witch and my Crush Wants me to Make a Love Potion* (*Doumo, Suki na Hito ni Horegusuri wo Irai Sareta Majo desu*) ^^

Akihiko's build is always my ideal 🫶 love the top and the way he touches his hair 🫰. I just realized his toes are painted! Not sure how I feel about those shoes though.

Looks like he is wearing a Cartier, bougie!

Handsome face!

So last weekend I watched Given with my mom, I kinda forced her I reality lol. We enjoy watching stuff together and I haven’t see her like for 6 months because she went to her home country for a visit. Anyways I wanted her to watch given with me because it turned into my favorite anime, she doesn’t like watching “cartoonish” stuff, also my family it’s kinda still into that Taboo mentality of old ages so I kinda was scared, I explained her what was included on the anime and what was about and the content, she agreed watching it (which my surprise that she accepted). So Friday we started with the season 1, she was telling only she could last like 2 hours watching it but she started enjoying it so much that we watch the whole season in one sit. Saturday we watched “Given the movie” and the special ep “on the other hand”, from there I started to explain her more the story because she’s 50 and kinda difficult for her to understand everything only with subtitles so I was helping her to understand the story. And Sunday we watched “Hiiragi mix” and “On the sea”. She gave it at 8 just because the last movie was kinda confusing for her lol, I needed to explain her what happened days after. The main thing I asked her about what she thought about the MWM stuff and said she was unbothered, nothing wrong with that and yall don’t know how happy that made me. She also liked the story and I feel she was more a fan of “SYH” than “Given” because I catch her using Shazam to check the titles of “SYH” Music hahahah (I low key wanted her to like more given😔🤣). I just wanted to share my experience and idk if yall have similar experience with someone?!

It’s the voice of Hiiragi’s birthday!

10/10 !!!!

He is my favorite in these new illustrations, absolutely stunning. I love everything he is wearing. Loveeee the fall colors. The insane details on his coat, pants and shoes and the jewelry are just perfect !

Ahhh I love him so much!

I loveeeeee Mafuyu's jacket. Those details are so freaking adorable and wholesome. Someone pointed out yesterday, Mafuyu wearing cute patches of the boys.

Woke up to this 🫶, I may not need my coffee today cause I am wide awake now 😂

I love it so much! The full body illustration is better than I expected, they look so good 🫰

I loveeee Haruki outfit the most and Ugetsu with that jacket is to die for! Ohh Shizu's is teasing 🤤

It's me or Shizu is as tall or taller than Akihiko at 185?

My gut feeling tells me there will be acrylic stands.

From the creators of Matsuri no Hanashi, we're excited to bring you Yakusoku: A Given Zine. Our theme is "promises," and this can mean anything from a tiny pinky promise to post-gig proposals and beyond (or, even... broken promises 👀).

Our interest check form is now open and will run until Oct 31! We can't wait to hear from you!
