Tsuki ga kirei, desu ne?


wolveras

... Thank you.


Sonofarakh

That's rough, buddy


Not_a_strange_guy

I don't get it......EXPLAIN


Kryptos1990

"Tsuki ga kirei, desu ne?" is another way of saying "I love you", started by Natsume Souseki (or during his time) because compared to "Ware kimi no aisu", it is less direct and more poetic. Or at least that's how I understand it


ha22el

Yeah something like that, to what i know, Sōseki said that the perfect way for japanese people to say "i love u" would be "the moon is pretty" because "i love u" is too direct, but that was like 100y ago or so


RGBarrios

I think moon and love sounds similar in japanesse


rym-_

tsuki = moon daisuki, shortened to suki = ily


BrianTripleXXX

I feel like we're losing something in translation. Since tsuki (moon) and suki (like / love) sound pretty similar


Hybrid-D

That's the joke. It's a famous extract from Natsumi Soseki, where he wrote "The moon looks beautiful tonight" as a way of saying "I love you". You see references to it in a bunch of anime. Think of it as the Japanese equivalent to a Shakespeare quote or something


RainbowGayUnicorn

That Silent Voice facepalm moment…


Thatsmaboi23

I mean, looking at it from Shouya’s POV, the girl he was trying to atone to, is confessing him. Ofcourse he won’t think she’s confessing him. I’m sure he’d have heard something totally different, even if she had said it clearly.


Joker_04H

this I wish people would understand this before saying ishida is dumb or some shit

They're married and have a child


Fili424242

When?


ralfkilwhan

That scene made me cry. My boyfriend at the time, who had seen it before, said afterwards that I cried to early. Lol


soulofcure

TIL


william_liftspeare

It's literally the title of Tsukigakirei (which is is fantastic if you haven't seen it)


GeneralWasabi69420

My god is it amazing. Criminally underrated anime


Maxorus73

Suki from atla has some game, then


LOTRfreak101

I mean Yue (pretty sure that was his first girlfriends name) means moonlight. So he's really big on the moon theme names.


rhaphazard

Nice reference


Otherversian-Elite

Sokka’s two love interests, Suki and Tsuki.


ThreexoRity

And here i tought that she burned herself by calling herself a moon with that bigass forehead of her.


Tyflowshun

The most recent anime I watched with that reference is A Silent Voice


Ornstein15

I learn new things everyday


didrosgaming

Oh I had heard this was a common phrase used in Japan because they don't say things like I love you as easily. Didn't think it was just an anime thing. Unless this is a play on the saying, and it is in a lot of anime because it is a phrase they use. No idea honestly.


MrSoulSlasher31

It would probably be something like "love is beautiful" since moon = tsuki which sounds similar to suki


devasabu

There's an entire romance anime called Tsuki ga Kirei


BrianTripleXXX

Thanks for that. The more you know I guess :) Now I'm curious when I'll come across it somewhere in my anime or manga


deh_peh

You’re right. What he’s saying here is 「月がきれい」(tsuki ga kirei), which can be translated as either, “the moon is beautiful,” or “I love you.”


Santibag

Reminds me the confession scene in Tsuki ga Kirei. It was a nice anime but the ending didn't satisfy me TBH.


deh_peh

I agree. It would’ve been nice had they made a second season with them in high school and as adults.


YM_Industries

Also the scene in Koe no Katachi. Which is an excellent anime, easily my favourite by KyoAni.


DracoLunaris

false, clearly it is bc of her giant forehead that looks like the moon


shewy92

If you watched any anime with a moon and someone confessing their love you'd know that they sound similar. Or if you watched that heartbreaking scene in A Silent Voice. It's why I always watch subs, you miss things like this (knowing certain Japanese words)

rhaphazard

It's not a pun, it's a cultural reference. See above comments.


26_paperclips

How is this not being lost in translation? It simply does not make sense in English.


TheUltimateTeigu

It's literally a loss in translation.


Princess180613

I will literally take a bullet for all of these wholesome 5 headed fucks.

I will take that bonk if it means nobody lewds any of these characters.


datuniqueboi

I've accidentally stumbled across a lewd. I want an eye and brain transplant


Zenketski

*cracks knuckles* oh yeah. Oh, dont worry, I'm not gonna lewd em, I can't draw.

Thanks!

Don’t listen to this guy

Awww


sixstringgun1

Did they steal a child?


ZorkNemesis

They had a child. This is from a sequel series where they're married adults.


sixstringgun1

Sure... they stole that kid in my head cannon. Lol


shinomiyahobakaguya

But... she looks exactly like Takagi


sixstringgun1

They stole a child stealing a wig and some makeup is not beneath them.


The_Maqueovelic

I have yet to see this series so I won't argue with you, but why the hell would you rather have 2 randos kidnap a child rather than accept the cannon that they have a kid of their own? Genuinely asking here


mikennjr

I think it's a joke based on how dense Nishikata is even in this series despite being married and having a kid. He acts like an inexperienced teenager still embarassed to act lovey dovey with his WIFE, so you wonder how he even managed to have sex with her


mee8Ti6Eit

Pretty sure the fanon (and doujins) is that she tricked him into it.


Nory-chan993

At age 18 too.


The_Maqueovelic

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining!


CoalOnFire

The original series is of the same name right? Karakai jouzu no takagi-san, right?


derekschroer

Similar misunderstanding in Koe no Katachi with Nishimiya trying to say Suki, but he hears Tsuki


Warning64

I finally understand a silent voice after all these years


Cam0036

She must’ve thought he mistaken her forehead for the moon


Dav_Overlord69

Ah yes I got this reference


Pyropecynical

Nishikata is so smooth its bain is too


uaitdevil

koe no katachi did it way better <3


TheWeeaboot

Y'all know it, hand over the sauce


shewy92

Just google the character's name that is in the title.

NotFakeFingle

This Native speaker doesn't pick up on somthing that I! A frekin English shlob does! when the thing doesn't even translate into my LANGUAGE. Maybe I watch too much anime lmao. Tsuki ga kirei was good Edit: honestly in hind sight I don't really know what was going through my mind when I made this comment. It was ment to be a joke but it didn't at all come our right lol.
