i wouldn't really call it a parody of marimite or strawberry panic since this is how girls, at least the majority, are in an all girls school. except they don't pretend to be elegant ojou-samas in front of teachers. they don't sit up straight. they slouch. they feel pretty much at home. they ask for pads/tampons in the middle of class even in front of male teachers. they think having a yuri relationship is totally fine and they're not disgusted by it. they have these "girl crushes." but once they graduate, bam. "bye bye girls. i'm on the other side now."
anyway, this was really entertaining. riri's an interesting character. i like girls who can cheer themselves up. dat fighting spirit. and it seems she's aware that she's falling for aoi.
Speaking from experience, are we now? Haha.
Well, that's certainly true. Media truly does skewer the views of certain environments. Just look at how different high schools and teenage life are on the screen. Some shows just really don't seem plausible. (Okay, but who wouldn't want a Marimite or SP kind of school?? Lol, it's so hilariously great.)
On that note, I think even in co-ed schools the "bam, bye girls, I'm on the other side now" thing still happens. For some it can be a much needed revelation, for others, it simply is just an afterthought, like "oh, that was just a 'best friend crush, no big deal.'"
But seriously, who doesn't ever have a homo-erotic moment in their lives?
