my god. i cant imagine reconnecting to my first adolescent gay love of my life lolol honestly takara and ema are actually being pretty normal and sane about everything, All Things Considered. loveeee the nuanced portrayal of these women lol esp in ema. shes like… insecure and repressed and petty and jealous and hides it all under this thin veneer of meekness. Like shes known she liked women since she was 14 and then stuffed it down because she was too pressured by her mom and society to fulfill her role as a “beautiful woman”… its gratifying to read an older gay woman struggle with all these repressed parts of her. i also love hario lol i love that he’s equally as flawed and sympathetic… like yes they have a good rapport as a married couple but what do you mean he chased after her for like two years even when she said no? no one else thinks this is kinda weird and troubling lol? love his moral dilemma of having the mantra of “i promised i would protect this fragile woman.” so then what happens to his role when she starts being less fragile? he’s clearly afraid of this new person that ema is becoming. you can’t really blame him, but you can’t really blame ema either for her circumstance lol it’s hard to be gay AND have an overbearing mother!!!
anyways one thing i will say is that it’s hilarious that ema is being so obvious and takara is like “She only has straight feelings for me i thinmk :(“ Which is very true and real. another thing is that i am extremely invested in whatever love triangle shenanigans are happening w the side characters lol i hope there are side stories!!
so glad i read this now rather than sooner so i could binge right up to confession … however i do think its gonna get worse before it gets better. excited!!!
