the last arc was very sweet. something something the wish fulfillment of not outright looking for acknowledgement, but having ur efforts acknowledged. thinking ur invisible but having been seen the whole time. coupled with the amount of time they spent thinking about the other in apparent secret. sweet.
i can understand why the author considers yamabe her kindest character: she knows all of her classmates well enuf to matchmake, frets over the feelings of whoever left the OG letter as well as mia, appears to be supporting a ton of ppl and has a strong sense of responsibility towards them. im a grown ass adult and im still thinking wow role model.
anyway always appreciate reading the translator notes and thoughts here; it's obvious that ur picking up stuff ur really into and that makes it more fun.
