The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference.
This shit bummed me out lmao
Beautiful visuals, writing and characters were interesting and fun enough, but their relationship at best never changed and at worst actively got worse over time? Doesn’t even have to be love but like somebody else said this is like unrequited friendship lmao
I was anticipating there to be a delayed reaction from Tsukiko either at graduation or when they met up again.
Kind of a callback to her having a delayed reaction to a couple of other seemingly obvious things, like wishing school could last a little longer. Like maybe she’d have some kind of realization on her feelings while they were apart.
But nope! Business as usual. I like watching you swim, but that’s it. We are not friends. You’re like a fish to me.
There’s a visual on page 14 of chapter 8 that feels like it sums up their relationship fairly well.
And relationships don’t function if one person gives 100% effort and the other gives 2% so it is what it is lol.
