finished the after the revolution manga bc i somehow found it at barnes and noble yesterday?? (i never thought i would see utena merch just out in the wild like that, it kinda jumpscared me. it was also the only copy there) and it was. it was ok

i just kinda of took it as a 'its hard to leave behind your past' (or i guess your coffin) kinda thing given with how the student council all get lured back to ohtori academy again 20 years later, end up in their old uniforms and dueling again, like they're falling back into old habits after leaving.

i think i liked touga and saionji's story the best though, they kinda go back to their old ways, find the painting of anthy, stab akios ghost and kill him a second time (big fan of akio dying in any way) and then said painting of anthy changes to one of anthy and utena together

so idk. i think it was fine for an anniversary thing. im just glad i have another official utena related thing now, considering how sparse merchandise for it is

i don't really like when people say dungeon meshi is accidentally good autistic representation, because while i understand not wanting to make conclusions without explicit confirmation from the author, there's always the weird assumption that non-western authors somehow don't know about things like neurodivergency/queerness/etc. (on top of the assumptions that east asian authors are somehow more naive or oblivious to "western" social issues).

given that dungeon meshi started being published in 2014, it's not really a "work belonging to its times"—it's as contemporary as any other media we discuss on this site, which means it should be fair to assume it engages with contemporary topics (and at the very least, you shouldn't say that the representation is accidental with so much confidence)

but anyways, the chapter "perfect communication" in ryoko kui's "terrarium in a drawer" is some of the most straightforward autistic representation I've seen, and from now on I'm going to assume that laios's character writing is absolutely intentional in that regard:

if i could begin to be half of what you think of me...
