Status Updates From In the Clear Moonlit Dusk, ...

proud of ichimura for outright admitting that he’s jealous but i fear he needs to use more words than that to really show yoi the depth of his feelings!! his character is so interesting though, i love seeing his walls go up when he’s scared or insecure cause it’s so obvious that that’s what he’s doing. he’s SO avoidant and i’m sure it comes from his distant familial situation

yoi and ohji are reading SO platonically oh my god it’s actually hilarious
and ichimura doing the absolute most cause he’s jealous and panicking?????? peak comedy

okay. idk if this manga is REALLY interested in exploring non-binary gender expressions but there’s something about ohji focusing SO much on yoi being a girl here that makes me feel icky. especially with that flashback to ichimura calling her “incredibly beautiful” with no gender attachment whatsoever. he’s the only one who seems to encourage yoi’s gray area rather than shoving her into either binary

ichimura could very easily be just an annoyingly cocky mmc who the author expects you to give a pass cause he’s hot, but these moments when yoi reciprocates even in the SMALLEST ways and he fully reboots and then bursts into the biggest smile????????? it really reframes his bravado as a protective layer. literally all she did was WAVE AT HIM and his brain did a hard reset
