skip and loafer 72 thoughts
every new skip and loafer chapter gets better and better. i loved kanechika’s opening monologue in the beginning of the chapter, i thought it was a beautiful introduction to shima’s performance!
shima was incredible. frankenstein is one of my favorite novels ever so seeing shima perform as the monster was just amazing to read. from the moment shima first talks about getting the role, we’ve known he felt deeply connected to the monster’s emotions. the shima before was ashamed and upset with his current self but now, standing on that stage performing freely, he’s starting to become the person he always hoped to be.
so much development & care has been put into shima’s character. the writing is so beautiful and realistic. it feels like each chapter is leading us to shima’s fullest potential. i’m so proud of how far he’s come. shima’s performance has opened up so many doors for him to face the problems he’s been avoiding and i can’t wait to see how he pushes forward!
the ending of the chapter made me so happy!!! shima rushing into mitsumi’s arms is SO SPECIAL!!! we’ve seen their relationship start off slow, eventually dating, breaking up, and now shima accepting his feelings for her. it makes me so emotional to see shima acting how he wants instead of trying to act how others would prefer. i’m never getting over this!! it was the perfect ending to a perfect chapter!!!
