On the one hand, I find it one of the most psychologically profound and complex works that delve into trauma, sexuality, and gender identity, especially from a female perspective.
On the other hand, I hate how it reduces the entire concept of femininity and womanhood to "attracting men and having sex with them"...
I understand that the protagonists have a limited perspective due to the trauma they suffer, and that it's more of a critique or satire of the sexism in Japanese society, but I would have liked them to also show femininity from a perspective that doesn't involve men...
