My Love Mix-Up! Vol. 9

It's ended today in NA, and I'm sad. But also fuming because of how Minekure sensei toyed with my heart. I nearly put this volume down and walked away from the story. But I'm glad I suffered through the hell because the other side is beautiful. Ending a romance series can always be a struggle because the story isn't ending, you're just choosing to bow out from it. But I think this finale does a great job of addressing that. It puts a lot of focus into the transitional period between high school and college, and uses that to separate the characters to signal the "end" of the story. I think it works really well because they tease you with some of the life afterwards as well. It's not just "oh we're done goodbye" but it shows that the story has continued despite us not experiencing it.

All in all, I have a lot of love for this series. It's funny, down to earth, romantic, and important in regards to the exploration of sexuality and love. This whole thing started from a dropped eraser with a name on it, and it's really something to remember that and see where we've ended up now. Like a drop of water becoming a wave, almost. It's sad to see it go, but much like the time capsule the cast buried, I'm sure many (myself included) will return to revisit this series with fond memories of it.

Kyoto 京

12:20pm-12:40pm

We then went to The National Museum of Modern Art.

Artworks pictured:

The Spy Surrounds the Sky (1974) Ida Shoichi

Present Location - Existence A (1970) Kimura Kosuke

Adagio (1958) Yokoo Tadanori

I thoroughly enjoyed the MoMAK, which incorporated a diverse variety of Modern Art from a vast array of artistic practices. I was particularly drawn to the three works pictured above, which all featured female figures within them. I was very impressed by the curation of the exhibition, as the works were presented in a way which had an engaging flow for the viewer.

Another thing that gets to me about Kieta Hatsukoi as I rewatch it is the expressions. Ida’s expressions are central to reading him as a character, since he isn’t able to sort out his feelings verbally, and Aoki is nothing but expressive, yet still there are so many little expressive moments to catch. 

Ida’s small moment of relief and joy when Matsuchi recognizes and puts names to his feelings. Hashimoto’s friends looking excited and surprised in the background when she approaches Aida. Ida starting to smile even before he grabs Aoki’s hand. The exact moment at the overpass when Aoki’s face turns from hesitation to relief. The silent anger from Ida, Hashimoto and Aida as Aoki talks about Mr. Okano. Toyoda’s slight smile as he asks Ida if he’s okay with leaving things as they are. Aida looking back at Hashimoto and grinning when Aoki mentions unrequited love charms. How relaxed Ida’s face is for the entire time he and Aoki sit together watching the lights. It’s a good show!!
