The Crow and lookalikes pt. 2

Karasu (Yu Yu Hakusho card) / Koji Nanjo (Bronze Zetsuai) / Atsushi Sakurai (front man of BUCK-TICK)

I just think they look alike, okay?! Actually, Atsushi is my muse for my SO, Karasu, in my imaginary world. I saw a resemblance when rewatching YYH as an adult and being obsessed with BUCK-TICK by then (I often referred to the band as muses for my original stories by then, too).

Karasu (Yu Yu Hakusho manga+anime) / Koji Nanjo (Bronze Zetsuai) / Atsushi Sakurai (front man of BUCK-TICK)

Also, I prefer manga Karasu to the anime, if anyone was wondering … much more handsome, better proportions, younger looking, and such … I like the way his character is written better, too. Togashi’s art style is more visually appealing to me, and I like to see the way the original author intended the story to go, too.

Pics and description taken from FB: “The character Koji Nanjo from the yaoi manga “Zetsuai 1989” was inspired by the rock musician Atsushi Sakurai.

According to the synopsis, Kōji Nanjō is “one of the most successful rock stars in Japan, with his hauntingly beautiful voice and very attractive features. But beneath all the fame and glamour, he is a damaged and hurt young man who has absolutely no happiness or interest in life.””

My comment on FB: “These have been on my wishlist the past few years!
