>What is happening right now
It is revealed that Amarariruku are fragments of Shine's (Teru's older sister) history. Specifically, the revived members are people Shine has helped or met before. Shy goes to Amarariruku to piece Shine together and resolve what exactly happened.
Stigma is an extension of Shine - the cultivation of her negative thoughts, isolation, and the period before she gained her heart via Shy.
This is where it becomes a bit hazy for me, since I don't read runes.
I read somewhere that for Amarariruku to be destroyed, Shy also needs to disappear. So Iko goes into a hero-saving journey, which is where we're currently at. Specifically, Iko walks into a room full of Shy fragments that represent her feelings. Shy is wishing everyone a farewell, but Iko smooches her to stop her nonsense.
On an unrelated note, I've been really enjoying Shy's opening for season one. Shiny Girl is a good song.
Oops, my bad for the Reddit spacing. Anyways, my favorite arcs so far besides Iko and Shy would probably be related to Aika's and Shine. I think the parallelism is well-written. Miki Bukimi tends to be a bit melodramatic with his backstories, but I think this goes for the superhero genre. 500iq to tease Aika's crush on Shy to just be an extension of her feelings for Shine.
Also, not going to lie, Lady Black's disability representation was really touching. I think about it often and I'm glad that Miki wrote it that way. Even if it was weird that Lady Black was literally walking with her stumps for one of the scenes
>>4448310 He was not even trying to hide it. They're using heart bracelets to "connect" while naked. God, I love the figure's posing so much. The gesture is simple but floating, as if they were gently reaching out with feather touches. It almost reminds me of the Creation of Adam painting.
>>4448844 >the Creation of Adam Huh it does feel a bit similar. And if you took the second panel out of context you'd be forgiven for thinking they're about to kiss. Normally I wouldn't get my hopes up about an actual kiss but seeing as Iko already planted one on a clone I can't help but still hope a bit.
>>4485800 >speech about finding the courage to tell others how you feel despite being scared or embarrassed over the two of them giving each other Valentine's chocolates Laying it on pretty thick here, aren't we?
>>4496093 >>4496094 I sorta hope that Aki at least gets more art and fics with Teru at least. With what I saw from her recent chapters it doesn't look like she'd get Teru in the end like I hoped.
>>4509715 I haven't read the manga, I just know the protagonist went on a date with a boy at some point, there was a lot of discussion about it back then.
>>4509723 Pretty much what I expected. >>4509725 I don't get what you're on about, I saw it discussed in multiple places with screenshots at the time, so I'd been curious about whether it would get any follow-up by the end.
>>4509723 >>4509729 Again, what boy, what date? I read the whole series up to the latest translated spic chapter and I remember none of this shit you're rambling about.
>>4509731 All I remember is that the date had already happened in the manga when the anime was announced, it was a low key thing, but it got people wondering if the series was safe.
>>4509749 Yes, that's the level of intelligence of many people; they assume too much and believe intentionally malicious misinformation, while ignoring the true merits of a series.
>>4509775 The very act of introducing them already delivers yuri; the content of the series itself is what supports and does not contradict yuri, even if it is not explicitly stated at the end.
>>4509828 A series in which het love is textual and expressed, even with kisses and talks about marriage, while yuri got one random kiss that wasn't even properly followed up on and with no tangible relationships by the end is pretty pathetic for "yuri".
>>4509883 >>4509971 Which makes your complaint worthwhile, if it weren't for one small detail: the whole damn series, if the whole series in question didn't exist, I would agree with you, but since the series exists, I can't do that.
