At this point with the way people are hyper analyzing and focusing on the English title of “Throw Away the Suit Together” and seeing this solely as a run away from the life sucking corporate workforce should know the Japanese title is “君としらない夏になる“ or properly translated “Into a Summer I Never Knew With You”.

While yes, the story’s catalyst was Haru being over-encumbered with stress by the perpetual work rejections and them running away as a result, it was never solely about it. From the Japanese title, it clearly is less work focused unlike the English one and more about a brand new experiences, the good and bad ones, during the summer they were on the island. Their time on the island also shows how important it is to realize running away from problems isn’t a permanent solution because they will have to face the reality of those problems sooner or later, and that in the end they didn’t let those problems break them apart.

I do think when the story releases in English, Seven Seas should rethink the localized title over to not give people a different expectations about the focus of the story.

Really hoping, if by some chance, this gets picked up as anime. Usually it would be some sort out there request, but with the state of Yuri being consistently picked one by one recently, I have hopes this one will too. It’s relatively popular, plus the bittersweetness of it all will provide a good enough draw for people to take with it. I just truly want another way we can immortalize Kaori, not just in the novel Shizuku is writing, or in this manga, but also her voice in an anime. I feel like even as a fictional character, Kaori is one of those special ones you don’t want to forget.

How come this manga has a yuri tag? There are no romantic relationships between the three main characters. Both the kitsune and the Ningyo protect Hinako at all cost but with different motives. At no times do these three show signs of being gay.

The author themself tagged this as Yuri for where you can read the series officially. It’s likely going to be very slow burn, with the romance aspect likely coming after Hinako is in a better emotional and mental state, because let’s be honest, romance or love is the last thing Hinako needs to be worried about when she’s like this.

Tbh, as someone who grew up with horrible parents, I tend to be more sensitive or particular with stories that write about “bad” parents, and I feel like their mom isn’t a bad mom. She was lacking a lot, but it didn’t mean she didn’t try for their children. I don’t fault her for the things she didn’t know how to handle or do with such a broken way of life before she had kids. And since she said her ex had tried to communicate with books after that conversation with her in law, it clearly shows that she tried to fix things before ultimately leaving bc no one had properly communicated with her on what she should do or how to fix it. Her in law probably scolded her but didn’t help her understand, expecting she would just know as if the mom was raised in any normal way to understand her.

I feel just as bad for their mom as her kids bc she did love them and they made her happy, but the thought of her incompleteness could negatively affect or hurt them caused her to leave bc she was unable to fix these things. Is she entirely blameless, no, I do think she should have tried to reach out to them in some sort of way after time passed to show that she hasn’t forgotten about them, but that’s not entirely on her either. If the father was able to send her something, he knew where she was and could also told their kids where she was or tried to explain the situation. Kaoru could have also explained to his sister about the real reason why their mother left as well before once he saw she was blaming herself. I don’t think the story has said at any point that Miss Sunflower or Kaoru has ever reached out to their mom or asked their father about her after she left either. All in all, this family had severe communication issues whether they were together or apart.

These two just gaslit everyone to think the cat was real and girlbossed it to existence lol

That’s a pretty hard dilemma right there, would you rather force one person bear all the pains and even endless death of a war or share that burden of pain and death in an entire army.

Probably will get people disagreeing with me, but any situation that forces one person to bear the responsibility or negatives in a situation like Mimi’s is one I can never go along with. Mimi may be immortal, but even so she shouldn’t have to bear the full burdens of war and sacrifices. She wasn’t responsible for the war, multiple people of differing factions were responsible for instigating and continuing their conflicts. Situations like this where one person basically is sacrificed, especially under the pretense of “heroism”, is something that just makes me root for mutual destruction or some external force to intervene.
