am i the only one who’s confused

I would take any reason to re-read Octave, tbh. That would be fascinating. But let's be glad that lockdown 4 and 5 won't happen, so it'll remain just like the dream here.

I'm also not sure if it's just the transfer to a more digital medium, or her growth as an artist, but everything is wayy cleaner and cuter in these oneshots. Not as drastic as something like Kishi Torajiro, but still a really noticeable difference. Really glad she's creating content again, I need to go sign up for Galette...

House of Lilies.

My Twitter happens to recommend me this thus I decided to read it again.
I'm actually more fascinated by the accomodation she stayed. It looks like a typical hotel room except there's a divider in between to separate the kitchen and the bed.

Uhh.. actually,my interpretation for this manga is just simple:
Hoshi san didn't do well for her presentation on that day so she felt really sad.
So Hoshi san's inner desire to get herself feel better is to take a day off, go to a hot spring with someone she loves (in this case, Noushiro san but the real Noushiro san has a boyfriend so she couldn't.. only dreams), get acknowledge for her hard work, and have a good sex.

Instead, in real life, she fell into a deep slumber for two days. Of course,when she woke up, it's just a wishful thinking but she felt better after that "dream" that looks real to her(so she can face her reality again).

In short, daydreaming/wishful thinking is a beautiful antidote to cope with a harsh reality.

P.s. I think it only applies to some people,not in general. Please take it with a pinch of salt, thank you.
