Now this was shitty, huh!
If someone asked for a phrase to define this series it will be either "you know what?... Nah, forget it" or "should I tell her?... Nah, better later (meaning never)"
At the beginning I really liked this series, I liked the characters and the "relationship dynamic", obviously slow. I repeat, AT FIRST. Then at some point they fucking started to strike us with so many senseless metaphors and monologues and Freudian shit I didn't get at all, and not because I am stupid but maybe because I'm uncultured? Maybe I should have read Kant o Descartes before approaching this masterpiece?
When chapter 17 came out, I was still saying to myself "wow this series is so good" for some reason (mainly because of all the ocean and fishes drawing) and by the end of it I said wait, they haven't made a single advance all this time? Aya never made the approach she intended, did she? Tsukiko keeps treating Aya like they barely knew each other, right? Even after going on "dates" and hosting her at her house, etc.
The graduation scene was the real and undeniable proof that the whole point of this manga was to make no advance at all in the main relationship, when Aya says something like "shouldn't this be memorable or something?" And Tsukiko goes like "hell nah bitch I don't even know you"
I feel like a really lost my time and the author lost a really good chance to make a nice manga cause they had some very good characters (at first) and an interesting pace (that actually became infuriating at last, but well). Obviously I'm no mangaka, I just express what I feel at this point like a fan, and if somebody actually enjoyed this, I don't intend to make them feel bad.
