Woah, this hit me harder than I thought it would. I wish I'd had an epiphany like that, a moment of certainty. But every time I thought I'd found my vocation, I eventually lost interest. And so I became that boring adult. I wonder, what should I have done differently? Maybe try harder to listen...

@dingus I find that incongruence interesting. It's not even contradictory, it's just tribal thinking: you only empathise with those close to you. That's the problem Paul Bloom discusses in Against Empathy, and why we should be careful about letting our feelings dictate our moral values.

Such saccharine happiness, but I love it. I will think of it as fanfic though (even though it's technically canon), because life is never so perfect, and I feel like this detracts something from the story. I'm glad I finally came around to reading the manga. Made me think about some things, gave...

I think I'm starting to get insensitive to some things, after being exposed to so many great stories. I've found this good, don't have anything in particular to criticise, but I feel like Kimi No Na Wa. (Your Name.) is the ultimate and unsurpassable incarnation of this kind of "lovers doomed to...

The brother???

Ah, the power of love. Overcoming any plot devices since times unknown.

Wait, are they both working there now? Otherwise it's just too much coincidence.

Wait, wasn't he supposed to remember them? Why did he act like he didn't know who they were?

Well, that's a surprisingly ok explanation for such an arbitrary rule.

So he does believe his dad is innocent. Hmm, interesting. Don't like how he inherited that messed up Malthusian worldview, and I don't like this typical Japanese cliché of "I'll only fight for my friends", but I'm giving it the benefit of doubt for now.

I'm glad I'm not reading this weekly, this starcrossed lovers drama is starting to get repetitive.

Aw so wholesome.

YES

These call centres are great, except if you have telephonophobia.

Wow the last chapter was emotional, but this one actually made me tear up a little. Nice touch with the brother. Also, he can be real smooth sometimes, huh. Good instincts.

This was a good emotional chapter.

Someone once told me they hated headpats, because that's something you do to pets. Just something to keep in mind if you try that on your girlfriend. 😜

Yup, just as I predicted. It takes real strength to work through life's hardships, but being strong doesn't make you invulnerable to ostracising. Everyone needs a supporting hand to get through that. It saddens me just how insensitive people here are. It's this kind of attitude that causes a...

I wonder why coffee is considered an adult beverage but tea (green tea) is fine. They are not that different, both have caffeine and both can be addicting. In fact I'm pretty sure a ton of young Japanese people are addicted to it (the stuff is everywhere!!!).

Oh no
