A collection of famous quotes by manga characters that color our works and illuminate our lives!

I’ve been… found.Menma (Meiko Honma)

You found the menma.

This is a famous quote from the final scene of Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day.

When Menma (Meiko Honma), who died after falling into a river, has her wish and regrets fulfilled and is about to pass on, the moment they finally say “Menma, we found you!” during one last game of hide-and-seek and she disappears in tears makes me cry no matter how many times I watch it.

The trick to living happily in this world is to stay ignorant and foolish.Quanxi (Chainsaw Man)

Chainsaw Man is a manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto that gained popularity when its anime adaptation aired in 2022.

Quanxi is a Chinese Devil Hunter who came to Japan as an assassin targeting the protagonist, Denji.

These lines are addressed to Kishibe, with whom she used to be partners.

They carry a warning that one shouldn’t stick their neck into anything too dangerous.

When the desire to know and to expose the truth becomes too strong, you may find yourself sinking into depths you can’t return from.

Sometimes, to live happily, it’s necessary to pretend you don’t know.

I don’t want you to be killed by demons. If possible, I want you to live a long life. I truly mean that.

This line is from the Hashira Training Arc of the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and is something Muichiro Tokito says to Demon Slayer Corps members at the training grounds.

Tokito’s attitude toward the members is strict, and to them he was someone to be feared.

However, in this scene one of the members discovers that while Tokito is training them, he is also rigorously training himself behind the scenes.

The member declares that they’ll push themselves harder, and upon hearing this, Tokito opens up about his true feelings.

He’s strict so that none of the Corps members will die… In this single scene, Tokito and the members truly connect.

There’s no such ridiculous idea as saying life is meaningless unless you leave something behind. I just want you to live, I just want us to be together—honestly, that’s enough for me now.Shinobu Morita

Words to read when you're struggling in life: 'Honey and Clover'

This is one of the most iconic scenes from a manga set at an art university.

addressing Hagumi Hanamoto, who has injured her most precious right hand—the one she needs above all to create—Shinobu Morita, a genius often called an eccentric, delivers one of his famous lines about her future.

For someone who loves making art more than anything and lives her life entirely through it, the weight of those words lingers deeply in the heart.

If someone says they believe in you, don’t think about anything except living up to it!Inosuke Hashibira (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba)

Demon Slayer is beloved by both adults and children.

Even though the story has concluded, its popularity shows no signs of fading.

Demon Slayer is inspiring for the way its characters keep learning and growing, even as they experience repeated failures.

This time, I’d like to share a quote from Inosuke Hashibira.

When you feel like running away from pressure or escaping from reality, remember these words.

There’s more to this quote, too.

If you’re curious, let this be your chance to dive into the series.

I’ll stay here, but if we meet again someday, will you call me a comrade again?!Nefeltari Vivi

[LOB] Vivi: Parting with the Straw Hat Crew

A famous quote from One Piece.

After defeating Crocodile in Alabasta, when the Marines surround them and Luffy’s crew are escaping the island, Vivi calls out to them.

As a princess, she can’t leave the country and worries whether she can still be their comrade, but by silently raising the X mark—their symbol of friendship—she sends them her resolve.

It’s a quote about how true comrades can understand each other without words.

Talent is something you let bloom; sense is something you polish!!!Toru Oikawa (Haikyu!!)

Haikyuu!! is a volleyball-themed work whose appeal lies in its wide array of characters and the heat of its matches.

Among them, Aoba Johsai High’s captain, Tooru Oikawa, appears in the role of a formidable wall to overcome, and his words convey his determined approach to competition.

They clearly illustrate a captain’s mindset: how to act by drawing out his teammates’ talents, honing their instincts, and linking it all to victory.

Because these lines belong to Oikawa, who is portrayed as a hard worker, you can truly feel the strength of his conviction.
