Ah~~~ It's incredible to finally get to see Nene-chan truly converge with Yugi-sensei... Every panel feels rich and choked with tension, as a reader. There's so much going on... I'm loving Nene-chan's earnest squealing and /// flustered emotions, this handsome older Amane, it's not fair to her at all... Somehow it's, silly shennanigans, romantically thrilling, heartwrenching, and frightening... Delighted by the shifts in presentation, easygoing sensei, kinda clueless, weird bug, but then, grim ghoul...
Hard to believe I was ever concerned about interacting with an older Amane (a while ago, before this arc, but nevertheless)... well, I was entirely disinterested in the concept of, a perfectly normal successful guy, just having friends, a career, etc. That's not 'Amane' to me... An Amane that could live without Tsukasa felt antithetical to me. But er, it seems it really IS antithetical, as this Amane is so very cursed, and connected to his otouto still.. Of course, of course-!! It couldn't be 'everything's normal'... He's not normal! Whatever the clock keepers attempted, I think it is foolish, there's no way you could erase Tsukasa and bisect the twins... There's no undoing this.
It all makes me feel, incredibly at peace, the manga doesn't compromise my sense of the characters... Even when it greatly surprises me, it does so in a way that is so so so exciting, and only adds more depth to what I've understood to be true. Enriching!!
Idk what else to say... I'm just amazed by how much I feel rewarded on all sides of my ship, like... Nene-chan thirsty for Yugi-sensei-!!! (as I knew she definitely 1000% would be!) and Amane, besot by the memory of his precious baby brother that [redacted] when he was 4... Losing his minddddd...
