I want to preface this by saying I’ve never felt grief from a loved one before. This may have a hand in the way I interpreted this chapter and I’m happy to have a conversation about this
So this arc in blue period is about grief right. The centre of this arc is Sanada’s death and how it affected those around her, whether they were friends, family or even those who worked with her. Yatora and Yotasuke, like us, are outsiders to this case and we have to watch their thoughts alongside Momo’s, Hachiro’s and Yakumo’s feelings.
At this current point of the manga (chapter 64). We know the tragic fate of Sanada. Her death was heartbreaking and it shaped the characters like Yakumo to become the person he is in the present.We see that grief manifests in different ways. The two major examples is Sanada’s mother and Yakumo.
Yakumo holds on to every possession that reminds him over her. One of them being her brush. We see it battered and tape holding it together. I like to think that it represents his mental state. He’s constantly happy and covers the cracks with his jokes just like the tape on the handle, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that he is grieving the loss of a friend and who he considered a role model.
On the other hand, we have Sanada’s mother who initially did not want to have her daughter’s works to be sold changed her mind as Sanada’s popularity grew. She wanted people to see her works as she saw them which is fine. It is opposite to what Yakumo does despite them both suffering from the same person’s death.
Yakumo saying that Momo’s dad didn’t understand him was not out of malice but Yakumo was grieving in a way unlike what Sanada’s family were doing.
My favourite part is the bit where Yotasuke asks why Yakumo isn’t allow to continue grieving. Yes maybe some people have moved on from her passing. We see one of Sanada’s old classmates who do not share the same sentiment as some of the other characters.But allowing Yakumo the freedom to grieve on his terms is a truly beautiful scene. Grief is different for every individual and Yamaguchi doesn’t aim to put down anyone. She instead gives a more human approach as grief is a complex feeling that should be approached as such.
