This is like watching gundam for boys. Yes there is horrors of war and PTSD but you get a giant robot and chicks dig giant robots so yeah it is half and half honestly.
Also aging up in front of the TV panel could be a piece on its own
It may seem like pointless drama but has anyone ever seen a mother in law concerning herself with the distribution of domestic chores in a yuri manga? We are breaking new ground here people!
Oh shite. Just realized the "Part 1". Also seeing Kaoru being happy for her sister to coming to the sad realization about their relationship has been a roller coaster. Like we forgot about it too. So it really uses the glacial pace of the manga for plot purposes.
