Whenever I lose faith in love

Among so many cartoons by Hayao Miyazaki, I love Howl as the male lead.

Not because of his perfect looks (even the earrings are so delicate), nor because of the voice of Kimura Takuya, but the precious thing is that he has the willfulness and timidity of a boy, and later became a man who guards the family.

The Witch of the Wild has been chasing him, in every way possible. Meeting Sophie and walking in the air is also to escape the pursuit of the witch of the wilderness. Even when he was lying on the bed weakly, he admitted that the gadgets in the room were all for concealment.

——This is like a boy, the first reaction when encountering difficulties is to hide.

Hal didn't want to face Mr. Sallyman directly, so he asked Sophie to play the role of his mother to help him block the knife.

—Look, the solution to a problem is to entice others.

Even losing his temper when he fails to dye his hair is like a child who is rolling around, "I don't listen, I don't listen!"

Such a coward, actually said, "Finally there is someone who wants to protect with life, and that is you."

Taking into account the increase in the number of people in the family, he will use magic to move a big house. There is also a room for Sophie that looks like her hat shop. He said that if he wanted to give them a stable life, he would be able to support his family even after picking flowers.

Really, gentle and firm.

He said Sophie's hair was the color of stars.

Think about it, if it weren't for him, just flirting casually, Sophie wouldn't have to become an old woman.

In the end, it is responsible.

Love makes people grow together, and neither of them is running away.

The kiss at the end made me cry.

Seeing the shadow of his boyfriend in him, he is not a perfect person, but he has the soul of a magician.

    Old Sophie: Huh?

    [Finds a folded piece of paper]

    Old Sophie: What is this?

    Howl: Give it to me.

    [paper burns leaving marks on the table]

    Markl: Scorch marks! Howl, can you read them?

    Howl: That is ancient sorcery, and quite powerful too.

    Markl: Is it from the Witch of the Waste?

    Howl: "You who swallowed a falling star, o' heartless man, your heart shall soon be mine." That can't be good for the table.

    [covers the marks with his hand]

    Markl: Wow! It's gone!

    Howl: The mark may be gone, but the spell is still there.

  • [Two soldiers are bothering Sophie]

    Howl: There you are, sweetheart, sorry I'm late. I was looking everywhere for you.

    Howl: Are you really? To me, it looked like the two of you were just leaving.

    [gestures with his hand, the soldiers are forced to march away]
