What are your interpretations on this?

I’m gonna be yapping anyways

I think the colours like u said, and also symbols represents human’s nature. In the end I think she finds solace that both she and Okamoto were the same. Maybe they both didn’t know who they really are, or can’t be their authentic selves either.

Everytime Hayakawa was in a panel with someone, the people are not drawn as distinctively as Okamoto, like they don’t have expressions and allat (maybe the artist did this intentionally or nawt but wtever). I think this could be signifying that they were similar or found something familiar with one another, though I don’t have much more evidence for this aside from the fact that I interpreted their conversation together alone to be the most intimate and meaningful because like I said,, they r both drawn distinctively and detailed when together.

We often connect rainbows as a sign of something ‘positive’, like what the students were trying to link Hayakawa to. I feel as though their uncertainty in placing her on a specific colour also represents Hayakawa’s inability to know her true self, hence she believes she’s greedy, because if she can’t find out who she truly is, might as well just make everyone believe that she could be anything. Rainbow is representing how other perceives her maybe, but black was truly her nature,, sooo she thinks she’s greedy because she wants to be perceived as something different and who she desires to be, as though stealing another personality

How I thought that Okamoto could be similar to her? It’s cus she changes how she perceives Okamoto just like her classmates did. She jumps from saying he was orange and he was a sunset, but then claims he’s yellow and sunshine. This could be interpreted as something else, but I thought she was also uncertain just how her classmates were judging her…

In the end it shows the end of the rainbow, rather than the whole rainbow. I think this subverts the idea of a rainbow being a positive symbol and rather it ties to that one popular belief that the end of the rainbow is ‘something that is hard to achieve’. To Hayakawa, being her authentic self seems to be difficult and hard to achieve perhaps

Whereas for Okamoto, instead of there being sun, there was rain. This could contrast Hayakawa’s perspective on Okamoto earlier, and maybe they both share similar experiences. Okamoto’s true symbol wasn’t the sun, but rather the rain. And only Hayakawa can understand that, which is why she suddenly says he wasn’t yellow, instead, he was just like her.


uhh yap over
