I like that Sirone wasn't actually... alone his entire childhood. We didn't see much of it, but he apparently had some really good friends that still care about him after years of being apart.
Can we just acknowledge how adorable they are, too? Like, all his friends: the villagers, Rian and his sister, kinda Amy now though the tsundere is not my preference— but ESPECIALLY Iruki and Nade in c.65!! Iruki and his irritation at having been bested by a Sirone who's only been learning officially for less than a year, and Nade with his cheezy, cringey "Precious little mass!" talk. Adorable.
I'm glad he took a leap of faith and finally told someone. For someone as honest as Sirone, he wouldn't have felt comfortable calling himself their friend had he continued to keep it a secret. All over, a fantastic feel good chapter (until the end, obviously. Can't have a season end without angst!)
This and many other websites are a fantastic way to keep in touch with others. People you know personally, people you've met recently and connect with...
Times are difficult right now and I understand that not everyone feels safe.
So, I just wanted to support everyone by saying this:
To everyone who may be affected by the outbreak of COVID-19, of which there are many, I wish you and your loved ones a speedy recovery. Let's remember to stay safe and practice the safety measures put in place by your government and the WHO.
If you're experiencing mental health issues and difficulty in managing those feelings and thoughts, know that you are not alone, and that there are still resources available to you for help.
To any who might want to share this, feel free to copy and paste.
Edit: my account might be restricted, since they explicitly say to only post in regards to manga, so: Does anyone have any suggestions on manga similar to Tomodachi Game? I really like that heavy psychological aspect mixed in with games. Bonus points if it includes a male lead with a traumatic past! I've read Liar Liar already. I think that's what it was called.
Otherwise, just your favorite manga to date? I read literally everything. Limit of 3, otherwise I know the lists will go on for eternity.ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
I do wish the village would have made a decision to raise awareness about the Woolks.
Their society has been mentioned to be a Kingdom, and any royalty or protective services should be made aware that such dangerous creatures are encroaching on their territory, unprovoked and in masses. Even if the royals didn't care, if they were half intelligent they would know that it's only a matter of time before they HAVE to care.
I feel like it was kind of brushed off since Sirone intimidated them into leaving (if only temporarily), but it's an issue where the cause should definitely be looked into.
