I hate that I got spoiled on twitter 😒 but whatever!
The lesson is: avoid twitter. it is a Godless place.
uh . . . i dont know about this, i mean, we knew kitagawa was crazy over gojou, but did we see any sings that he was head over heels for her too?Cause i dont really remember seeing that, except maybe for the whole cosplay thing.
Dunno, i think this could have gone many different ways, and most of those were better than a random love confession outta nowhere.
Don't get me wrong, im down for romance between these 2 as much as the next guy, but i would have enjoyed it more if it made sense.
We absolutely did! Call it fanservice, but every panty shot or boob jiggle was Gojou's lingering gaze. From chapter one Gojou was attracted to Marin's body and her personality. "Someone from another world." Through the cosplay, he realized his feelings a little more. Shizuka -> "You were beautiful." Liz -> Boner inducing. Rei -> realizing the way he looks at Marin is the way he looks at Hina Dolls. Haniel -> Obsessive, Possessive, Maniacal gaze at her beauty. He was too insecure to put it into words, or even consider the possibility.
This series did a great job of tying each small arc into a grander series arc. This is an amazing story where the two leading characters have depth. We get a lot about Gojou's insecurity, his passion for craftsmanship, and his breaking down of his walls. Marin has enthusiasm, and confidence, but doesn't know how to make her dreams into reality. This is a story about two kids who fit together like a puzzle working out their flaws together. It's top-tier character development.
After this chapter, I re-read from the Rei arc, and the pacing is golden. If anyone feels the Haniel arc was dragged out, maybe blame the release schedule. The post-Haniel arc has only been 7-8 chapters, and we got the payoff we've wanted since the start.
