今存在しているわかりやすいジャンルに当てはめて理解しようとする人が多過ぎてもどかしいですね。
何かに当てはめようとする時点で、グラデーションの部分を切り落として一括りにしてしまう傾向があるように思います。

ひかなつは、キャラクターの背景や心情から来る深みとホラー要素が合わさっていて、何度も読み返したくなる素晴らしい作品です。
クィアな要素が孤独感や疎外感、そして切なさを苦しいほど感じさせます。
もう本当にひかなつに夢中です。

ご多忙かと思いますので、お身体にお気をつけて頑張ってください！

it's a story that I wish existed when I was Yoshiki's age, lol. it's such an honest and emotional exploration of the fear, loneliness, and lack of belonging that most queer kids experience growing up. I'm glad u shared this story, I'm sure plenty of queer kids feel seen + understood because of it 🧡

this is sooooo pretty and sweet and full of love it’s giving me cuteness aggression 😭😭😭😭

since I'm caught up with the manga, I do get that romantic love is not even that sort of love that he feels, but translations ignoring that possibility feels iffy. especially because it was to the point that the translation sounded kinda unnatural. who would ask if they seem cool at that moment? lol

I think people are upset because some translations took away from that ambiguity. they attempted to exclude one meaning, mainly, the potential meaning between lovers. "I think you're cool" or "we get along well" ≠ "I like you".

canon frobin is great bc half of it is heartfelt "existing isn't a crime" stuff and the other half this dril tweet
