Characters & dialogue are the reasons why you read a Yoshinaga story, in these stories we get overviews of the multiple lives of this relationship between Tamaki and Amane, across different eras, genders, ages, etc. calling it overviews not to say she is glossing over them but that they are showing us what we need, and they are enough to stay with us as valuable and memorable pieces of storytelling. What I like the most about her character work is how reasonable these people are. They are hard to pin down with a single adjective, especially ones as common as nice, good, or bad. They
...
make decisions based on their interest at the time, instead of how they could have been described in a character sheet, or if there is a conflict, we understand why their personal character led them to lie, to be cold, or to hide. I believe, and I think Yoshinaga may as well, that as humans we have a general tendency towards "nice", towards generally avoiding conflict, and towards generally looking for results where we can make the most people happy, but at the end of the day, humans are humans, and life is life. We can't live ideally, but we can try to make do with what we have. Total satisfaction in one's life is already a difficult mountain, accruing another soul in your journey, even your most cherished one, might inevitably end in tragedy
