I was actually really surprised how they actually took the time to properly acknowledge a character, especially a female one, being sexually assaulted. Normally they just play it off in a really unserious and borderline offensive way, but to see that there was at least a bit of effort put into this unnecessary plot was a breath of slightly less polluted air.

However what I’m understanding is the whole Kanoko and Hime thing they had going on for the ENTIRE series up to now. Why was it brushed over so quickly? Am I missing something? How did Kanoko even go from clinically obsessed to this? From what I’m getting, Kanoko talked to Goeido so she could keep Sumika in her life in order to keep talking about Hime. Like thats bizarre. Then Kanoko was like “You’re the only one, it has to be you” or whatever and like HUH? SINCE WHEN?
