^^ Actually I think I don’t remember any instance when Utena actually confessed her “love” to anyone? I mean her having fun with the Magical Girls could technically count as just “violence” but is sexual through our eyes. Maybe she just think “being vulnerable” is the thing reserved for lovers or something?
And I am still kind of down that her ship with Sayo is “canonically” shot down, but frankly nothing is really set in stone and it’s not going to stop fan artists (lol). Not to mention when they straight up denied the ship, Sayo wasn’t even there in person. Which…is sort of weird, because fundamentally it’s her who’s pursuing this so-called “romance” or “sexual relationship” or whatever. And with no one supporting her, the future tensions from her would be rather strange to see as…it’s not really tackled seriously more than some BDSM fling so far?
But whatever. I still hope the author’s doing well. Has been a year and a half since the last chapter…
Edit: I just like crack-shipping if you ask. Sue me.
