| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This show continues to impress me. But, Tsukikage is using Maya IMO. I guess she wants the best for her, but I don't think it was right to burn the clothes and letter. |

| I'm surprised this hasn't really been discussed here before.. thanks for starting, usasoldiern! ^_^ I randomly picked this series but.. wow, I really like it so far! O.O It's not like I've watched a whole lot of shoujo before (recently, at least) so I guess I was taken aback a bit.. And it's only been 4 episodes. For once the rival doesn't seem annoying, either. usasoldiern said: This show continues to impress me. But, Tsukikage is using Maya IMO.

I also thought slapping her mom was somewhat.. unnecessary, although I understand why she did it. Still.. she sure is possessive of Maya already. o_o |
| Yeah, I'm trying to spread the word about this show. |

| I'm caught between thinking Tsukikage is well-intentioned in her actions towards/involving Maya... or whether she's just, as insan3soldiern said, using her for her own benefit or personal satisfaction or something. In any case... still really enjoying this show. :D Didn't think it would be so awesome when I started watching it, but I've definitely been pleasantly surprised by the consistently good quality of these couple of episodes. |
Lorezhno said: Did you miss the part where Maya ran away without even asking her mother if she could join the troupe? Now her mother probably would have said no, but the mother came around after hearing Tsukikage. So it would be safe to assume that Tsukikage could have convinced her to let Maya join, but she didn't do that. Instead she allowed Maya to join her troupe after obviously lying about getting permission from her mother resulting in her mother storming in to take her back. Something most mothers would have done. Now she was seriously out of line threatening and throwing the boiling water, but it's still her child. But the resulting break from her family was clearly something she was aiming for. They both did wrong, but in Maya's best interest would be her joining the troupe. The mother calls her useless and is ashamed of her, is that what a mother does? And Maya would break with her mother if that was the only way to pursue her dream. She actually already did it when she ran away. Under Tsukikage she had a better chance to stand her ground and pursue her dream. And Maya did ask her mother but got denied. Yes, we don't know if her mother would agree if Tsukikage talked to her. I strongly suspect that her mother wouldn't agree, still. Bc the situation would be different, as Maya would be in her home and Tsukikage can hardly force her way in and take Maya away. Now, the mother had to accept that her daughter won't be coming home. She didn't have much choice anyway than just accept. Ofc, it's wrong of Tsuchikage to burn the stuff, seems quite possessive to me. While Maya's mother didn't appreciate her, Tsuchikage does see the talent though I doubt that she appreciates Maya truly either. But at least, Maya gets to pursue her dream, sth she'd never be able to if she were to obey her mother. |

| What an intense episode. That confrontation between Tsukikage and Maya's mother turned into something else, slaps and boiling water were the main attractions. I understand Tsukikage wants to make focus by severing her ties with her mother, but I still think it was a horrible thing to do. |

| Tsukikage reminds me of those mothers that dress their children up and force them to do beauty pageants. They want to live their dreams vicariously through that of someone that is easy to manipulate to their will, someone that can grow up alongside them. I think Tsukikage is only using Maya for her own self-interest, not Maya's. It particularly leaves a sour taste in my mouth that Tsukikage burnt that box. I hope Maya personally decides to keep contact with her mother. I believe their relationship can be salvaged. I think of it like this. If another person were to come around and meet Tsukikage's standards for the "perfect" actress, Maya would have nowhere else to go. Maya would not have the means to attend a different school, and she'd be stuck living unhappily at home. It's a very morally grey situation in my opinion. This really, truly is Maya's one chance to make something of her life. Aside from Tsukikage, I do feel sympathy towards Maya's mother. I understand her fear, as Maya is jumping into something she has had little experience with beforehand aside from watching some movies and plays. To a mother, that would be absolutely terrifying. Whilst she did say some fairly nasty comments to Maya, she has resolved to giving her this chance to become someone. While I may dislike Tsukikage, I am still heavily invested in this show. I think these types of characters are rarely depicted in anime, so it's cool seeing them put to use here. Furthermore, the fact that the show has firmly established that this is quite literally Maya's ONLY CHANCE to become an actress is good, as it adds some rather large stakes to her pursuit of acting. Looking forward to more. |
