Ch 90 - Small misunderstandings
I can’t believe the dumbass takes I keep seeing. It’s 2020, people. Take a chill pill and think things through please.
“Mika’s I love you wasn’t a love confession because daisuki can be used among friends!1!”
While だいすき can be used among friends (the same way you can say “i love you” to your friends), it is also used in love confessions (i.e. Hinata Hyuga @ Naruto, Kagome Higurashi @ Inuyasha. Syaoran @ Sakura used “suki” which is even less heavy) especially in a context like this. Self-sacrifice followed by a love confession is quite a common trope.
The context makes it obvious that it’s a love confession, like the examples I gave. Why would Mika need to say that to Yuu if it was just in a “friendly” way? Especially after all those years together? You won’t find a single example where someone says “daisuki” to a friend when they’re fucking dying for them.
“B-but he didn’t use the word “ai”
Funnily enough, and as if Kagami needed to spell it for you people, Ashera precisely uses “愛” (ai) to refer to Mika’s love for Yuu and tell him he gave up his life for him to live on (notice that Yuu started crying again when Ashera told him that).
And it’s not like there was no proof of Mika’s feeling before. The fact that I even have to write this is… it’s really shameful.
Once again, if Mika was a woman, this wouldn’t even be an argument.
What’s worse is that I see many of you just… accepting this?
Guys, I know you’re used to being disappointed but this is the one time you should open your eyes and stop bowing your heads to the heteronormative pov.
Guys… guys, pls. Mika’s feelings for Yuu are canon. Mika being mlm is canon.
But 1. Yuu hasn’t answered (and he may never be able to), and 2. those may have been Mika’s last words (for now but who knows what awaits us).
I know chapter 90 was a bit difficult to process but take it easy. Kagami’s recent tweets seem to imply that the real story is finally beginning (whatever that means, gdi Kagami what do you have in store for us now?!) so it’s not really time for this dumbassery.
