Status Updates From Taiwan Travelogue

It’s clear that even if Chizuko and Chizuru are closer than they were at the beginning, there are still many secrets that Chizuru is keeping from her.

Chizuko and Chizuru seeing another Mainlander-Islander couple right when their feelings are on the cusp. The myth of two students being hidden away by the gods so that two factions could live in harmony which relates to potential Taiwan-Japan friendship, but this ignores the social subtext required of a Mainlander-Islander couple. Also the reversal of the use of an Islander slur on the Mainlander is so good.
