Ufufufu, well, funny story is that I've actually been reading a lot of shorter series that are like 6 or so chapters long. But I wasn't feeling very inspired to review them, and maybe I'll regret it later when I accidentally reread them because I didn't document reading them the first time. However, life gets in the way of things that you really want to do like binge-watching anime. I've got finals looming in the coming week and fear hasn't been stricken in my heart yet, but I know that it's coming. With all the studying I've been doing in this sedentary lifestyle my back has been hurting quite a bit. Only the Lord knows how broken my body will be at age 75 *cries*.
{Spoilers, but it's slice of life so}
Ah, I can't really say how much of this manga I really understood. I think with these shorter series they can go various ways with how they narrate and this one was definitely a thinker. It was about this girl whose mom passed away and was left with a man that wasn't her biological father, but still really loves her and about their happy life together. But it also tied in the girl's childhood friend that she somehow still stayed in contact with and his rather strange turn of events? And it also tied in the father's relationship with his family? It was definitely very nuanced in that it was very much so "how much can you read in between the lines?" or at least that's what I got from it. And because of this I spent quite a bit of time contemplating and trying to puzzle out exactly what I was supposed to get from this. Honestly speaking, I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to get from this.
Is this a bildungsroman? Or would classifying it as such be taking the easy way out? I think it's an introspective coming of age narrative to be sure, and perhaps it's so crazily put together in order to prove the point of the tumultuous life she's led? You can see from the number of question marks in this post that I'm still trying to piece it together. But really I might not come back to this to think more because ~finals are looming~.
Even though I was nothing short of confused about this series I think it was a pretty cool read :')
