As someone who minored in journalism and uses all the knowledge that I obtained from school to start this blog, it hurts to see how far journalism as a whole has sunk. People will twist anything for attention and approval. Meanwhile, this sh*t stain of a journalist thinks he can just insert a tiny camera onto a rooftop and take a picture of Tsunagu and Mari without their consent. These are the types of cameras that Korean women are afraid of when they go use the public restrooms because of nonconsensual shots! What this guy is doing a crime, yet people are quick to blame Tsunagu all because he’s a beastman and that makes him an easy target. Yukihiro is too nice because I’d be slapping him because violence is non-consensual, just like Kinari’s actions!

The fact that the school isn’t really doing much for Tsunagu sucks. He’s been working hard to attend human school so that he can achieve his dream of being a doctor for the beastfolk, yet because of someone’s lies, they’re considering a leave of absence for him. It just shows that they aren’t really willing to accommodate beastfolk and don’t really know how to deal with situations revolving around prejudice…yet it was the school’s decision to take in a beastfolk as a student. It feels hypocritical… Fortunately, the class aside from those two jerks don’t believe in the article as they know Tsunagu is a good guy. I honestly like that Ochi kicked one of the jerks’ chair when they were talking bad about Tsunagu, which shows some positive development on his part.

I honestly am happy that Mari is not written as a weak-willed shoujo heroine because she’s not moping about the circumstances, but is trying her best to help out. I get that people might be questioning why she isn’t speaking up by telling people she wasn’t assaulted, but people might just make more nasty assumptions and would probably gaslight her as well. I’m glad that she was going off on the guidance counselor Hamashima, who’s voiced by Ryoka Yuzuki who voiced Taiki’s mother in Blue Box, Ino Yamanaka in Naruto and Satsuki Kiryuin in Kill La Kill.

Man, the whole slanderous article bit really soured my mood. I can’t feel happy for the Yukihiro and Kisara moments. They’re so cute, but the bitter aftertaste of what happens afterwards sucks. It’s funny how I want Natsuki Hanae to voice more villainous characters and this asshole is probably the most vile out of his repertoire so far…and he’s from a furry shoujo anime! I’m going to end this review here before I blow my lid off completely. Let me know your thoughts on this episode!
