![]() ![]() It didn't feel like Takako was mocking Shuu in the process but rather writing a sequence where the audience would sympathetically nod along and remember all the times they did something similar. I loved Shuu's Cinderella sequence where they get so wrapped up in wrongs committed by their sister that even nice things that happen afterwards feel like tragedies. ![]() Based on what I remember from that age and what I see in the kids I work with, the kids I babysit, and my own cousins, she perfectly nails that combination of having real problems and worries and exaggerating other things for the sake of giving yourself something to worry about. ![]() Of course, having a story that follows two gender-questioning children from elementary through, I believe, high school is new in and of itself and even if it wasn't for that I'd still be singing Takako's praises for just how well she writes all of her characters. As noted in the summary, volume 5 is where the manga finally rejoins with the anime so this is still "all new" material for anime viewers, although given how many years it's been all of the story feels new to me. ![]()
