Go Akira and mom! >w< also her older friend is refreshingly knowledgeable about those important things like to be happy and comfortable with yourself, I'm really glad Akira knows someone like that
You know, those are not "feminine/woman" feelings, those are just human feelings.
Everyone likes that kind of attention and affection and earns for more, it's just that we have this patriarcal mentality in society that negatively separates things into masculine and feminine. It's dumb.
