This story really solidified my preference for angst like 8 years ago when I shouldn’t have even been reading it lol. There’s something about seeing a character be shaped by a negative environment and how they react to the stress and how the people around them see them changing that gets me way more interested than fluff/comedy/etc.
And after all these years I still love Shoukichi but he’s so selfless and caring that it makes me
