Unbelievable chapter.

One fascinating point I always found about japanese art, be it visual mediums like manga and anime, but also dancing and singing, is how much emphasis there is on capturing 'beautiful things'. The japanese just have this love for something that I can only describe as sitting at a bench near a beautiful little pond with birds chirping and the wind gushing at the sakura trees, petals falling everywhere. That moment of serenity, that's very much at the core of classical japanese art to me.

In this chapter, I see exactly that. The beauty of the naivete, captured in Miyako. As well as the beauty of Miyako's and Junpei's love that cannot seem to materialize as much as the universe seems to pull them together. It's really quite something to see how tragic this story is, while at the same looking so full of naivety and young love. The Nicolas 'hallucinations' have also been a particularly successful addition to the writing. Not many authors are capable of pulling this off, but I think here it works great. This sort of mental transformation inside Junpei and obsession with the role oozing out into his subconciousness.

Overall, if I had to describe this ch in 1 word, it'd be: Beautiful.

I appreciated the chapter as well, but I feel like Junpei is getting low-key lost in his numerous girls... You could say I'm just bitter because I'm a zealous Natsuki supporter, and it's true, but I'm also genuinely frustrated at how all these conflicting emotions and ongoing love stories are holding Junpei back.

Junpei being a talented, impulsive, and generally honest mess of a person is what makes this series so good.

(I said honest, not self-aware.)
