Dendroposting 1.6.

It's been a full week since I finished volume 18 and over that time I've gotten increasingly more disconsolate about Shu and Sechs and literally the What In The Hell Is Your Relationship.

Like I thought Shu joking about Sechs' letter of challenge being a love letter was just Kaidou having a little bit of fun at my expense but the more I think about it, the more I think about the conversation leading up to the start of the battle, the more I think about the conversation after the battle, the more I think about the actual events of the duel, the more I am marinading in the ambiguity of exactly how the two of them feel about each other. I did not expect to get "without love, it can't be seen"'d by this silly shonen light novel series.

"It didn't hide his face whatsoever" and "At this moment, he abandoned his second goal" and "We're not just about killing each other" keep bouncing around in my head. Shuichi Mukudori, the man that you are.
