Glad you liked it.I praise you on invoking the sword of damocles, cause it's exactly what is is now that I think about it lol
Eh, i dont think it means much that she is better in that regard then the worst character in it.However, I think she's one of the most well rounded characters, we're all sidecharacters in other people's stories - but if you compare her with Futaba, then you see what really is being a sidecharacter. Chika is actively changing her life through these "sidestories".
Yeah, here i have to disagree, she didnt find those things. Sel just gave them to her. Finding would include searching. But the rich mother figure basically deus ex machinaed into her life. And the job she got without any real work done we have seen. I mean compare that to the struggle yumi did goShe finds a mother figure, she gets a better job to take care of her sister, she finds another apartment to also take care of her sister and in pursuit of the life she wants with her boyfriend, she turns out to be an actively great person in her aftercare with Rin, she keeps trying to have Yumi grow and is (maybe overly) keen on bettering herself in relation to how she deals with Akira (blaming her lack of experience in relationships and not measuring up to him).
through to get her job. Yumi did deserve her job. Chika just got the job because sel wanted that to happen. There is no struggle with her, no work, she just gets stuff and it never ever feels like she did earn those things. And that is my main problem with her. Just look at when chinami got sick, that could have been a struggle, but nah, it just got solved by the reset.
I disagree that it is understandable. This storyline could have already been done and finished. I mean her denial borders on been pathological and i am just annoyed by it at this point. And in her relationship she is either lovey dovey making already decisions in her mind about their future together. Making decisions alone -just think about she demanding him to take care of chinami when he wasnt even able to take care of himself at this point. But it is not as if she actually gave a shit. Or even wasted a single thought about his needs and wants. It is always just about her and what she wants. She doesnt even know the guy and i dont see her even give a single fuck about that fact, or even acknowledge it. I mean when it comes to him, i would even go so far to say that she is worse then Ami in just having her perfect image of him and just deny everything that would contradict this image.I agree we're stuck on the denial gag with her, but that's understandable story-wise cause if that shit went down it would cause everything to go down with it, and we need a little more time for the story to reach that point. But even that is somewhat understandable too, because you can interpret it as she trying her hardest to believe in Akira's intentions as to compensate for her own inadequacy in the relationship (in her own naive mind).
Huh, now that i think about it, i wonder if her mother was also like that and this is why her baby daddy left her.
