| I was giving it some thought and I think that as overdone as childhood friends to lovers is, this series does it well! The idea of it in itself is endearing. Two people that grew up like siblings hitting an age and having feelings emerge. Feelings that conflict with their idea of their relationship and who the other person is. Normally I think this trope is done through one always having feelings for the other, I see the kind where the girl gets the guy to promise that they will get married when they are older quite often. Perhaps this is my inexperience in the genre talking, but regardless, as slow as this dynamic is with Izumi and Kazusa, I think it’s awesome because it takes the first approach. I especially adore those moments where the tension between them is cut and they fall back into acting like they did when nothing was different, when they remember the person on the other side is still the same friend they’ve always had and feelings may alter that but can’t destroy it!!! It’s sweet. I particularly adored how both Kazusa and Izumi looked out at each others windows at the same time. It’s an adorable moment… “Thinking about you” x2!!! I did love seeing Izumi think of the time he thought of Kazusa as a girl too, Kazusa had to do similar about when she started to feel different about Izumi. But, Kazusa had a shift over that trip. She has finally decided to be confrontational with her feelings, going so far to toss the keychain that represents her feelings across the gap between their houses with resolve! Later, she decided to take the lead role of the literary theatre performance and told Sugawara her feelings with a conviction she has lacked up until now. A moment that gave us a textless page to think on how Sugawara feels over this. I think she’s been shown to really care about Kazusa and Momoko at the least, and enjoy her time with them, and want to help Kazusa, I don’t think she likes Izumi despite some personal moments with them, and if anything I think she may feel some jealousy over Kazusa’s resolve. Kazusa’s love is attainable and she has the courage to seek it out, whereas Sugawara seems to still be stuck on her failed love with Saegusa. I’m not sure, it does seem that pillow fight somehow inspired Kazusa to lose her insecurities and her fear of Sugawara, and come back after the trip a new person though! It feels a bit jarring to me, I’ll admit, although perhaps putting away those feelings and being content as a group was all she needed to move onto her next form of attack! Sonezaki also had a nice moment, we saw the club stole the initial urban legend idea but put a twist on it, to connect the hearts. The way Sonezaki got the idea for love being hearts colliding rather than any kind of trickery being that beautiful and uniting pillow fight makes me think they had their hearts collide there as friends. :) I started writing this paragraph expressing that I wished Hongou and Sonezaki would have a better relationship built up with the other three. I feel these two have an awesome camaraderie between them, being older club members, and with stuff like Sonezaki, still repressed, wishing Hongou luck on losing her virginity, or them going to the bookstore together, and Hongou poking fun at Sonezaki since the beginning. Yet these two have personal plotlines that are mostly disconnected from the other three, Hongou/Yamagishi and Sonezaki/Amagi are kept secret. Whereas Sugawara, Momoko, and Kazusa are all linked together, since the “who would you “do it” with” scene they are all working with each other for the Izumi plotline in a sense, coming to Kazusa to support her. This made me feel like the characters were divided into two groups, three characters that feel close, and two that feel close without too much of a bridged gap despite moments like their passionate fighting for the sake of the club or the pillow fight/Momoko and Sonezaki talking over the trip alone starting to do this. But, I think this is fine. As much as my first thought was that I wanted them to be like the Straw Hats, these aren’t a pirate crew who are together all the time, this is a school club. They primarily see each other in the club room, they have prior relationships going into it. They don’t have to be best friends, rather they all come together and find a place where they can feel at home. They can appreciate each other in that sense and that may be perfect. It feels realistic to have this group of club members not all being intimately close with each other after all, and their passion and drive to care for each other and their club still works fine! Plus, maybe the Amagi and Yamagishi plotlines will branch out and envelop the others when their time comes in a satisfying way! |
