idk i cringed very hard at the fact that all this omega-ism is pretty transparently xeroxed from feminist struggles and women’s place in a patriarchal society. it seems women are still at a disadvantage in this story’s world, whether we believe our unreliable narrator at all or not. this is very silly and all but i prefer omegaverse works that gracefully reconcile the primary sex with the secondary in terms of worldbuilding. still very entertaining though, will be reading regardless of anything i said (￣∇￣")
Isnt that what omegaverse is anyway? The whole concept is basically just women’s struggled imagined on men
You have to remember where this is being published. This work is probably the entry-level feminism study for so many young fujoshis in Japan, and is one of the rare few omegaverse works that bluntly doesn’t provide a happy family ending to the characters. Its value is in opening the doors to young girls to feminist concepts in a digestible way.
how did they get from going no contact at the end of ch4 to being buddy-buddy and soaked in the rain at the start of ch5?? from context there was supposed to be a welcome party from the baseball guys for hozumi but we never saw that.. i’m confused..
I really think that 5 explains why they are NC.... A flash back of why they are NC
Lmao I think I accidently pressed the dislike button. But yeah, theres a sudden jump and it just gets explained later rather than showing the party. Made sense to me after that but very much a weird way to have shown it.. like why didnt they just put it before? Could also be possible they didnt think of that scene till later so it was a sudden further explanation for them getting into a cold turkey stalemate
i feel like it’s all slowly coming together! we finally get a tiny bit of a grasp on things. it’s always been about identity, hasn’t it. i wonder how hayashida will tie everything in
