This series is pure dysphoria juice, bringing back memories and feelings I don't wanna remember
very realistic indeed
As one who seems to lack the clarity to recall such times, School Trips and the Boy Scouts for me are the most vivid and this chapter of Makoto's life does dredge up some of my deeper mud covered memories.
Bug Juice being my personal 'Currrrrrry RIIIIIICE' moment, and Makoto's "oh, so girls too-" is just...
~~I remember asking friends of mine when their breasts grew in because I was unknowingly confused why I didn't have mine yet.~~ The memories that cover my first decade have been more or less lost within my mindscape and can only be recall on off chance of things semi-forcibly ripping them up from whence they lay dormant.
Another detail that I recall from my own journey was the dread, and desire to shave, I felt when I first noticed my body hair darkening, and that's probably the moment I first noticed and started worrying about my gender identity (albeit I still honestly had no clue what I am/was at the time, so a moment where early knowledge was my crux). I can't wait to see what makes Makoto click personally, but this series is definitely getting my 'Hourou Musuko' award for making me relate too damn much.
