i love the art and the main characters but i especially love how the book handles a couple side character’s depression and their history of it. you can see how it reflects many of our own households with the younger generation being more understanding of the complexities of it and the older generation wanting to help and loving the person but being so lost at what is best to do. honestly, i might be just as excited to see how that turns out than the main arc

yay for queer backstories! i love that akari and ayano are receiving individual development and the primary focus isn’t on their relationship right now.
