ngl i'm still kinda sad over how disappointed i was by the last arc of shikimori's not just a cutie, it just felt like retreads of previous chapters and a lot of wasted opportunities to flesh out the secondary & side characters more...

#yet another subject that gets my urge to make video essays going bc god i have a lot to say about this actually #there were so many fun potential dynamics we could've gotten to see but didn't bc the manga focuses so heavily on shikimori & izumi #which yeah they're the main characters & ( only ) couple but the way the side characters are barely focused on in the last half >>>#was at the detriment of the series i think #like inuzuka & kamiya should've gotta a chapter together to explore their dynamic #also saruogi & hachimitsu apparently they ride the same train and the author just. didn't play with that???#it would've been fun to see how those two would try to navigate interacting w/ each other #( i also think they’d make a cute side couple which i think the manga would've benefited from )#( them or kamiya & nekozami those two feel kinda gay to me )#i'm genuinely curious if the author was dealing with burn out w/ the series near the end it did run for over a 100 chapters after all #i'm going to stop myself from continuing to ramble in the tags but UGH it's just such a bummer to me!!#i really liked the manga at first i'm so sad that i ended up feeling so frustrated by it #mj.txt
