To this day it blows my mind that when Naoko Takeuchi and Yoshihiro Togashi started dating, Togashi looked haggard to the point where he told an assistant that police regularly stopped him on the street for looking “suspicious”. And Ferrari-driving, couture-wearing Naoko still gave him a chance. The man was swimming in a pile of trash
looking like THIS
And he still married THIS WOMAN
His personality must be great
@nightstitcher that picture never fails to kill me. Like...the scene in hxh greed island arc with the trash...that was real...
Her taste is exquisite to say the least
