It puzzles me why some people are painting this as some kind of "escapism fantasy" where you save the girl.
Do you have to read so much into the intentions of the author and the use of PoV? Why can't it just be a warm simple story?
I rarely ever read this kind of "behind the scenes" psycho analysis in Japanese discussion. Almost like you know, people who are interested in and like the content talk about said content, and people who don't just move on. It's just a bloody manga short.
Yes I know there's some irony in my whinging about it too. But it's weirdly frustrating to see that contrast in the comments here vs on twitter and stuff.
