but for real mako doesn’t seem to be too bothered. Is she trying to ease him off the gulit? Mako are you trying to not make asanuma feel bad for not knowing about how you’ve lived alone all this time? MAKO don’t make me sad about your past all over again, you don’t have to shoulder everything!

Yes asanuma is precious, and a fanboy, and adorable, these are all true.  But to me the thing that really makes asanuma wonderful is how open he is and how much he tries for the people he cares about. After getting the info he sought out, he didn’t just leave or get scared, he tried to equal mako’s commitment. Im sure there’s a pit of insecurity he’s dealing with now after realizing how much mamoru, makoto, and the others have on their plates atm. But instead of letting it consume him he’s forward to mako, he let her know how he’s feeling. And despite those feelings he tries so hard to show mako he wants to pay her forward. He doesn’t have their powers but he’s pushing for more, he indirectly asks her “what can I do for you?”. He doesn’t have to do anything but yet because he cares about these people so much he seeks a future where he can give back. And his determination to stay by their sides is the best way he could help

Without even talking about it I can tell the dynamic unazuki and motoki have with each other

Mako the secrets! You’re slipping mako!

Yeah mamo let usagi decide herself!

Yes mako how dare they try and come for your crown! Destroy the imposter!

This is a really cool panel though, so hey if we’re going to have them be taken away at least have it be like this

Well it was to be expected, but at least mako put up a good fight! you tried sweetie!!
