Finished 86 volume 1!
Really, REALLY loved that epilogue - this new strong, capable Lena is just absolutely perfect.
Seeing that final double spread in print was also beautiful, stared at it for a whole minute.
Lots of interesting developments, starting V2 on Wednesday!
Speaking of Romcoms, I'd just like to remind everyone that Kaguya is THE Romcom. I honestly don't think I'll ever see something that'll top it in the romcom subgenre.
It somehow manages to have comedy that'll make you die laughing but also characters that can be taken seriously.
Still crazy to think how popular the Tomozaki LNs are in Japan yet the anime got such little viewership 😔
Because of how on the nose the theme of racism is in 86, I feel like it's treated as a show that lacks any political depth by people and like...come on??
To name a few things, Theo's rant at the end of episode 3 highlited Lena's hidden bias.
(Mini thread)
One day I'm actually going to make a thread talking about the whole idea of 'morally virtuous' characters, female characters in particular.
Definitely something that I've always wanted to talk about in depth, being a Hinami fan and all.
