enstars is so funny akira is actively hitting us over the head with a brick that says 'mayoi is the phantom of the opera' yet has none of the messaging the novel has and i'm playing 4d chess trying to figure out how this is going to relate to mayoi backstory

#point of poto is that society hates ugly things and lik #to a degree that's what mayoi is about. her 'ugly' thoughts and own internalized self loathing #but in comparison to 'erik is literally a yellow skinned skull' she is not that (yes i recognize this is for marketing reasons)#like i do think it's a fun way to explore 'ugliness'. mayoi is ugly on the inside but as a result from her (potential) upbringing #but i do prefer leroux's message. as heavy handed and all at the end as it was #it's been mentioned mayoi's family 'owned' the es building or whatever i don't know shit about lore #which is implying that like. we've had some phantoms for a while #shinkai cult is all well and good but hear my insane 10pm ramblings out #offshoot of sakuma clan. hence the fear #they remain in the shadows but must still remain out of sight of their family...#im going to be very off base when we finally get mayoi backstory but i can hope and pray #sage talks #can i give mayoi mommy issues. def bc it relates back to the poto thing and not because of anything else
