the wardrobe storytelling in the show 'contrast' is subtle but loud for eyes to see. especially in the episode 5, all the teenagers are wearing trendy clothes, outfits associated with youth and playfulness, however, akira has a more conservative/grown-up style. it can be showing his reserved nature but it also tells that akira only hangs out with a grown-up aka the man grooming him (kanda). kanda has totally shaped akira's approach and outlook towards life.
i want to see if akira's style changes as he makes it out of that groomer's grasp.
