senpai was just living their life. She wasn't bothering anyone and even got shit for it (guy almost hitting her for saying not interested). I don't think Chihiro was really emotionally mature and was too fixated on senpai. This is on Chihiro more than senpai. Senpai was being herself. (Though and don't get me wrong I've been and experienced what it's like to be a Chihiro part 1 Chihiro only. I never went player for kicks.) Senpai was pretty open about how she viewed people and relationships as a pain. She didn't want to put in the effort. Or change if someone asked her to. She thought that was freedom.
Senpai was just living her life, her way and then she changed her mind. That's growth.
you're the realest comment out there. there's a clear difference on how their player-ism works. senpai was upfront about her view on relationships and commitment and far as we can tell chihiru isn't.
I definitely didn't think the end was anything great. Chihiro just couldn't handle rejection, or not getting her way cause really they were never in a relationship, relationship for her to feel like she was owned something out of her friendship with senpai.
That's really what the story's about: Chihiro's gay ass needs therapy. Lots of it!
to me she reads a bit like an incel... i was so happy for her when she seemed to move on but pt2 just makes u feel a deep sense of disappointment
