Ah, yes, codependency! Kido and Mihiro on the other hand seem so chill tho, good for them.
The author didn't need to make Kido's scene with Takeru into sexual assault to get the point across but... seeing as Yusei SA'd Takeru as well, I'm just gonna guess the author isn't well versed in what SA is. Other than this, it's a pretty cute story.











Atp I think I trust this author enough to handle a high stakes plot... but honestly it still bothers me when plots get this complicated this late in the run. The world tree was already pushing it for me, but this season ending felt straight out of a different genre. I just wanted to see Phil learn to love and trust those around her, man, why we gotta stick a game system and deities in there too...
But, well, I really like the storytelling here, so I do trust this isn't going to plummet in quality altogether-- buut I do fear it might take a toll on the emotional development of the characters.
