ALSO SHE HAD A HARNESS ON?? Like what is bro doiiiiiiingggg . I feel like the author really wanted to give her a “not like other girls” job that she could be passionate about. Which sometimes works for her when they have a neat tree fact or smthn, but other times feels extremely contrived (an arboriculture tournament? Televised by a hospital? Hyped up to be unnecessarily high stakes? What in the corporate PR stunt absolute nobody asked for??!)

Ahhhh… oh no I hate to say it but that’s probably why I’m not vibing with this subplot. Not a fan of the sports/cooking anime. Like, too unnecessarily intense? Like, the more the author tries to make it dramatic the less I give a shit whether the kids win the state ping-pong tournament or whatever . I wanna like em but…
As someone who has actually done tree climbing in a harness and helped family take down branches, everything about this scene is so fuckin dumb I just can’t
Love the series though. Absolutely adore it and get hyped every time it updates. But this scene…? SO dumb. Idk why we’re getting so unnecessarily dramatic over arboriculture.
