Ozaki Kouyou - Blog Posts
You guys know what, I just got a midnight thought.
If we observe closely, then we will find out that four (main) members of Port Mafia had tried or wanted to leave it or have succeeded in leaving it.
First was Kouyou with the man, when she tried to run away but failed.
Second was Murase and Chuuya where Murase wanted Chuuya to leave Mafia but failed.
( I am pretty sure that if Chuuya had heard Murase's last words like Dazai did, there would have been 60 to 70% chance of Chuuya leaving the Mafia.)
Third was Dazai and Odasaku, where Odasaku on his last breath told Dazai to leave and he succeeded.
And finally we got Koyka and Atsushi, where Atsushi helped Koyka get out of Mafia.
So we can see a pattern here.
One wanting to leave but failed and dead, other wanting someone else to leave but failed and dead , another wanting other to leave, succeeded but dead and finally last on wanting other to leave, succeeded and alive.
This trying to leave Mafia pattern just got brighter with each attempt....
Just a midnight thought....
Kouyou!

getting to know you under different circumstances
it was a little funny how quickly my friend figured out that these were warmups for drawing the au versions of them
I feel like a lot of ppl don’t see that kousano is so interesting because of how they conflict with one another not because they’re like both mean women or something. for me it’s all about how on the surface they’re a bit alike and would probably get along but when it comes to their deeper beliefs they completely clash and that’s what makes it so angsty good. also the fact that their backstories parallel one another but had opposite outcomes is so compelling to me. Yosano was trapped and traumatized under Mori’s control but she was able to escape her situation. Kouyou was trapped in the mafia by the previous boss but her failed escape attempt only furthered her belief that people like her can never escape to a better life. which ofc is exactly what Yosano did. they’re each other’s antithesis in that sense which is why I love exploring their potential dynamic cause I think they would really ruffle each other’s feathers but respect each other at the same time. also there’s the fact that Kouyou straight up hates love because the one time she chased it she was only left further traumatized and so she closed off her heart (but ofc we see through her relationship with Kyouka that she can’t completely stop herself from caring about anyone) and all of the angst potential that creates. I could go on forever
How I feel after making a comic about mother feelings while having zero of them:

because we all need more fluff in our lives lately
Kouyou and Verlaine are so similar, no wonder they are both Chuuya's older sibling figures and Kyouka's mentors. Both are executives whose specialty is murder, and who we know have trained several assassins for the Port Mafia. They both encounter a teenager so much like themselves when they were younger that they decide to do everything to stop them from making the same mistakes they made, even if they end up hurting them in the process. They both genuinely believe that what they are doing is the best for Chuuya and Kyouka, based in their own past experiences, because they are so alike that, to them, there's no way that the outcome won't be the same. Their only interaction in Stormbringer is them fighting with each other, exactly because they disagree in what's best for Chuuya. Verlaine killed the flags to make Chuuya agree in letting the mafia, Kouyou was willing to kill Atsushi to distance Kyouka from the ada. Like, even their personalities are similar. I could totally see them being friends if they had met in a different way (but with the way they met in the cannon, I'm sure they still hold a grudge against each other. It doesn't matter that Verlaine understood the mistakes he made, and that Chuuya accepted him as his brother at the end of it all, they still don't get along and don't plan on doing so anytime soon).
“Chuuya is the second choice”
Let me prove you wrong:
1.The flags
Went against the bosses orders to give chuuya a good gift (his past) and also risked their lives for chuuya.
2.Verlaine
“He would chose Rimbaud” bro literally shot this man just so chuuya would be safe.
3.Murase
Wanted to return chuuya to the world of light
4.Adam
Programmed himself to put chuuya before anything and risked his life for chuuya (he came back though, I’m happy)
5.Kouyou
I honestly hate when people say she would choose Kyouka as if she can’t love two people equally. Like are we reading the same thing? She cares about chuuya a lot.
6.Dazai
“But Oda....” no shut up
the relationship that dazai has with oda and chuuya are two completely different things. Dazai just fulfilled a promise from a dead friend. Dazai trust chuuya with his life.
I hope Verlaine, Kouyou, and Mori are quarantining from the vampirism in Verlaine's depression hovel right now. I hope they're having the worst sleepover imaginable. If Mori uses Verlaine's electric kettle to boil fruit one more time, Verlaine is going to gut him like a fish. Kouyou and Verlaine ran out of slurs to call each other so Kouyou is making prolonged eye contact while systemically picking apart his rattan chair with her tantō. Verlaine has strangled Elise into dissipating four times.
Every time Chuuya calls to check on them, they act SO casual and unaffected. Verlaine is knitting Chuuya a hat from the hair Mori keeps stress shedding.
