That last scene feels weirdly dark for a reunion sex moment... but I liked the happy ending I guess.
Exactly what I thought. I really loved this, but the last scene portraied it so weirdly. Maybe it was just supposed to show her "dark" side. Since it was kinda a role reversal. Or it was a unfortunate artistic choice to portray nighttime.
Also, I wish there was a lesbian bar where I live -.-
She was just being sexy. They both revealed their hidden thoughts from High School and realized they were always down bad for each other. Meanwhile, she's unbuttoning her shirt--it worked as dirty talk. Nothing dark about that, I don't think.
I was thinking the same thing. Admittedly, the way the scene is drawn kinda undercuts the sexy vibe, but that’s just down to the artist being a bit inexperienced. The intent seemed pretty clear,
IDK I wouldn't say it undercuts the vibe at all! There's something about passionate, intense feelings that come straight from the gut, that have to be suppressed in polite society: they feel dark, and they come from a place that language can just barely touch. I think it makes total sense to express them like that--especially lesbian feelings, because they're often painted as predatory, a betrayal of the supposed sisterhood that women are supposed to share, and so you have to be very careful filing off the rough edges and making them presentable or keeping them hidden, as Kano here has long done.
But now that she knows Matsumura is also a lesbian, and also wants her, those feelings can come to the surface. And in this case, she's been harboring them a long time, and is expressing them straight from the gut. It can be very intimidating, but as you see here, if it's a welcome feeling, one that reaches a similar place inside you, it can also be very hot.
