How To Talk About Given As A Piece On Housing Precarity And Poverty And Not Sound Like A Mad Person
#institutionalize me if you will. there’s so much interesting stuff going on in akihiko’s storyline that I think is well-done#except for the total tonal dissonance with the first arc and the fact that It Is Like That#a story about a person with limited income who becomes dependent on an unhealthy relationship for financial and housing security#slash a story about a homeless person who doesn’t fit the idea of homelessness is something you do not see a lot.#it’s a common phenomenon in the world very rarely explored in fiction#and you wouldn’t expect the Edgy arc of a romance series to go into as much detail as it does with that economic reality#now if only it didn’t have the fuckin whiplash of cutting to the rest of the series#to clarify I like the arc in isolation but the way it’s done as a romance skeeves me out#kelsey liveblogs manga
