#casually took out his old school uniform and burned it in some random ladys fire

[liquidstar]

all of the previously untranslated "dear society" suddenly got uploaded to mangakakalot a couple weeks ago out of no where so yes i DID read it and yes i DID cry doing so. several times in fact. i really liked it.

#(these tags contain spoilers) #a lot of the visuals were genuinely so cool too #like the way metaphorical immediacy was used to symbolize emotions was just perfect #i especially loved this one scene in the early chapters where hanakos telling kanesho who she likes #and is drawn as if shes stabbing him in the chest #and there isnt a cut back to ''reality'' for it- its fully depicted as if thats whats going on even though the audience clearly #just a metaphor #sometimes it was literally what was going on top of being a metaphor though. like when he just like #casually took out his old school uniform and burned it in some random ladys fire #the timeskip was also funny bc he was so ''damn. i hate society but i participate in it. curious.'' #also i like how hanako wasnt the wife foreshadowed at the start #like his initial crush on here was obvs pretty dependent but not in an unusual way for young teens lol #but it shows that that doesnt really matter passed highschool. like he said himself his world grew #i also really liked mizuho he was just a really cool guy #i fully expected him to be a bait and switch douchebag but he really wasnt. he was just cool and supportive #even when he got dumped! like #kanesho apologizing bc he likes girls and cant force himself to be in a relationship w a guy #(and mizuho at the time interpreters this to mean hes a lesbian) #his response is just. you have nothing to apologize for.... #ALSO a big fan of kino he was just such a great mentor for kanesho #obviously w different experiences like kino says. hes a gay man and kanesho is a trans guy so its different #but theres overlap and solidarity. they were both unfairly ostracized at school and kino was such a great support bc hes BEEN THERE #when he graduates and leaves his uniform for kanesho w the note ''now its your turn'' #dude. unreal. screaming crying throwuing up #loved the school nurse too she was just so supportive and nice. thank you school nurse for being cool. sorry i forgor your name
