#shit has me writing “intriguingly circumspect” unironically

If I could identify any coherent thesis behind SHOSHIMIN Series, it's how the world is often unfair and cruel to those who don't fit in. Implicitly, then, it is also about how the world is often unfair and cruel to neurodivergent people. In fact, if I can identify a commonality among the conversations here, it's that none of these people are "normal," and they are continuously striving for a normalcy that they don't have. Often by trying to impose it on others. Such is common among friend groups with a lot of neurodivergent people in them, unless care is taken to avoid it.
The extremely mundane "detective work" provides something of a hook (and while I haven't seen it, I believe it also calls back to the author's previous series), but these are only indirectly, I think, related to the show's actual point. Who can say, though? It might have some other cards to play, SHOSHIMIN remains an intriguingly circumspect work.
