Nice subtle drama in this one - Makio told Asa that it was fine for her to do whatever she wanted, and Asa simply didn't believe her. It wasn't even as if she consciously decided that Makio wasn't telling the truth - she just sort of automatically didn't believe that Makio really meant what she said, because "she's an adult." That's revealing.
Makio's and Asa's recollections of Minori started off notably different, and I expected that part of the central theme of this series was going to be them converging, but I wasn't sure which way it was going to go - which of the two was more accurate and which was less. So far, it seems to be shifting more toward Makio. Asa appears to have seen many of the same qualities in Minori that Makio did - just not in the same context or with the same clarity. I expect it's not going to shift entirely toward Makio though - that there are some things that she's seeing through her own bias, and it's just going to take more to get through to her.
Meanwhile, are Asa and Emiri growing apart? I can't imagine that, but at the moment, that's sort of how it looks...
That's just part of growing up though. I don't think there's anyone I was friends with in middle school that I'm still in contact with.
Right - it just caught me a bit off guard because when Emiri was introduced then their fight was so heart-rendingly resolved, it made it look like the two of them were then going to remain inseparable, but now Emiri's hanging with the cool kids and Asa's not.
Particularly with this series, maybe that's just how it's going to play out because that's how life really works, but still, it caught me off guard.
