The symbolism in chapter 32, with Takeda as Arita's sun... augghhh my heart...... I legitimately cried. They're both so precious I love them so much, and I love the "love" they have for eachother too. It might not be the same conventional, advertised sort of "love"-- but I wonder if this is a conclusion that they'll reach at some point? That this, too, is love? I'm not sure. To me love feels like a pretty boundless word, and label-free feeling... but again, that's more me. I just genuinely look forward to seeing how their connection develops with time <3 I'm super happy Takeda took Arita for a walk, to air out both of their thoughts. I hope they keep being able to communicate at times like these, even when they don't understand eachother's feelings 1-to-1.

The only "bad" thing I have to day about this manga is I wish we saw more of Takeda and Arita interacting between themselves; some times, it feels like they think about each other a lot, but we don't actually see their day-to-day that much. We need more chapters like the aquarium one!!

And remember, kids! Being different people inherently means being different! You can never 100% experience things the same way someone else does; even moreso with feelings.
