I'm glad that Ai went to meet Kaeda and was able to see through her. If she didn't, I think it would have haunted her the rest of her life. I still wished she threw away the pendent though. If not her herself, then for Gon.

I could see that for Kaede's sake but keeping the pendant is a powerful decision as well. It shows how little meaning it has for AI now. Throwing it away could carry the feeling of AI needing to distance herself from something she can't resist.

It makes sense. I get that throwing it away would give it too much value. But If it has no meaning to her, keeping it doesn't make sense as well (might just be me, but I don't like to keep useless/meaningless stuff). She could sell it and buy something nice for Kon for example.

To me, it makes more sense if you think about it as a matter of control. Kaede was using the idea of fate to take control away from Ai and make her feel powerless (which is a typical goal for an abuser), saying that even if she throws away the pendant it'll just wash back on shore or otherwise make its way back to her. By keeping the pendant, Ai takes control of where the pendant is and thus what its meaning is

I honestly think this is pretty interesting writing. The first six chapters never show Hana's perspective, which builds her up as a mysterious, confident antagonist. The first time we do actually get to see her inner thoughts, she's confused and clearly misread the situation, which just makes her pathetic and immature instead. It feels very true to how real people seem like they're in control at first but are really just messed up inside

It's such a trip to watch someone on this forum get upset on behalf of a husband character because his wife will supposedly leave him or cheat on him in a later chapter. I wonder if it's a first. Ohsawa Yayoi might be breaking new ground in ways she doesn't even know.

I'll be incredibly bored if Harutaka ends up doing an unsympathetic heel turn as an excuse to justify the girls getting together. I want to feel terrible about his undeserved suffering

The About Names part is about a nonbinary person, right? Not sure I've seen a lot of that from Japan.

I think Japan tends to prefer the X-gender umbrella term. I also get the vague feeling that they feel like labels are kind of constraining in general though
