Miyagi & Sendai are one of the most intriguing characters I've come across. The physical & emotional dynamic between them, especially how they are so intricately intertwined, & their often-mixed awareness, or decision to suppress those emotions are just fascinating. Their perceptions of each other, their self-awareness, & how their mindsets are shaped by the society, the environment, as well as the cultural expectations is also really interesting. And the way they uniquely communicate non-verbally through physical touch is truly mesmerizing. Their relationship is so complicated, fragile, fluid, deep, somewhat real & so raw...
Thank you, 羽田先生, for creating such complex, layered characters & bringing this whole narrative to life.
