skip to loafer chapter 64 analysis // spoiler

the desire to be loved that distances her more and more from people: we are finally starting to understand a little more about yasaka's past.

unlike what I thought, the first spark that gave shape to the kyoto arc didn't come from shima or the girl groups, but from one of the most enigmatic characters in skip to loafer: yasaka.

we always knew very little about her and how her story unfolded. all we had was the understanding that she was a very lonely person with a complicated family situation and someone who sought people's love. and now, together with mitsumi, we are starting to understand more about where she was going with when she said that mitsumi had always been too loved to not care about what others thought.

yasaka clearly has a great desire to be loved, but she doesn't know exactly how to make people create stronger bonds with her. she believes that by being a person who is liked and desired by everyone and making these people feel good, she will get everything she wants — and this illusion may have been the result of a troubled relationship with her father, something that I believe is possible due to the small flashback she provides us.

she wants to be loved, she wants people to look at her with affection and not disapproval. being loved, pampered, praised is the way she understands love, something probably the result of a strict upbringing, where demanding anything more would result in a disappointed look. to escape this, yasaka always acts like a good girl, who gives double meaning answers and only says what others want to hear. the superficiality of the love she receives is enough to soften her ego and feed her well-being and the superficiality of the love she gives is enough to protect her from getting hurt.

but of course all of this is just a time bomb that is very close to exploding. yasaka puts on this persona of someone who does not want to be completely understood, but is unable to separate her frustration from the desire to form more meaningful relationships. she is not only shielding herself from people forming more mature relationships with her, but also doing her best to maintain superficiality so that her mask doesn't fall. another thing that solidifies this for me is the central page of yasaka surrounded by “affection” and gifts, showing exactly the loss of her childhood and the desire she still carries within her.

and what I like most about all of this is how mitsumi, someone completely opposite to her and who barely knows her, tries at all costs to cross this barrier that yasaka places between her and the world. by not allowing her to leave and insisting that she stay with the group, mitsumi is basically confirming to yasaka that it's okay for her to have her flaws and receive disapproving looks: her presence is still required and she is still a person who complements the group as a whole.

I really like how sensei is always willing to put two completely opposite characters so that they can externalize their flaws and fight against their barriers — and the relationship between mitsumi and yasaka is exactly another great example of this. on one side we have mitsumi, who grew up surrounded by love and affection, that’s why she’s so sure of herself and doesn’t need to seek validation on others. on the other, we have yasaka who craves affection so much to the point that she will drown herself in any small glass of it.

another thing i want to point out about this chapter is how being in love can blind you for flaws of the one you admire so much. when ujiie realized that yasaka isn’t the perfect girl he always saw, the first instinct he had was to deny it: of course his goddess wouldn’t have a flaw!! she’s 100% that girl he idolizes and loves so much. but what if this was all something he made up inside his mind?? how will ujiie deal with this heartbreaking of a confession?

another month blessed with another gorgeous chapter. sensei keeps surprising me more and more and can’t wait to see what she’s keeping as a secret from us. thank you so much for reading 💛!!

Skip & Loafer 64: Heartbreaker

We're back, I'm glad we took a little time last installment to let the school trip breathe but now we're largely dealing with what was set up before that. Cheri. The girl who came off as pretty manipulative before and this time ended up being very mean. Leading two guys on pretty openly and indulging in them being hurt by it. I will say, I like that we didn't take the road that would muddle the message here by having the guys be pushy or fighting each other or whatever. They just moved on.

But Mitsumi saw all of this. And wasn't just going to let it go. Prompting this very telling response from Cheri. And of course this leads to Mitsu deciding Cheri needs to be the latest recipient of the charm bomb.

All told, I think I see where this is headed and it's on brand for Skip & Loafer. A peaceful but real look at teenage struggles. And this one is one I've seen a fair few times, especially with queer youth, but it's poorly understood. The telling thing was the glimpse behind Cheri's very hard to read demeanor.

I get the feeling she feels unloved at home. Probably some degree of cold parents. A lot of young people who have experienced rejection respond by proactively seeking it. They act in ways they know are wrong and hurtful because they've learned all relationships get that way eventually. So why not be the one doing the hurting? Here's hoping she comes around, though for drama's sake I wouldn't necessarily mind seeing someone Mitsu can't charm.

Completed/Caught Up:

 Scums wish (47 chapters + 6 side stories) & Scum’s Wish Decor - (6 chapters with 1 extra story) - is the manga original manga worth the read? I would say no because the anime does a good job and I would recommend watching the anime and then reading decor afterwards. Now this series is very flawed and I could probably make  post about how there are some really terrible characters and I’m not a fan as to how the author handled them, but man this has some juicy drama.
