I'm actually going a little bit feral realizing that Sasaki's confession to Miyano happened almost simultaneously with Hirano determining that he does, in fact, 'love' Kagiura. On the same day, at almost the same moment, both couples found quiet, shaded places to try and articulate the way they feel about each other.

I'm going to go find somewhere to expire this is absolutely sending me

one day im gonna actually analyze the way harusono shou's work has influenced my drawing and writing style in the past few years, particularly for comics. cause i sat here staring at the last page from my previous post and that's. 100% a harusono thing. having a single frame that feels busy and packed with dialogue coming from and directed at different sources. these specific panels from hirakagi chapters 25 and 27 respectively come to mind.

things like having several strings of dialogues at once; a primary conversation and then a secondary, smaller conversation happening simultaneously in the background is a manga thing in general but i think they are such harusono trademarks as well. i read the manga in japanese for self study and i always pay special atention to these types of panels. not just cause i have to brace myself to do a lot of translating, but i also take the time to notice how these dialogues connect with each other, linguistically and visually. (though anyone could do it just by reading, but i feel there is a difference between reading with intention vs just breezing through)

like that second example has 4 interactions happening at the same time, with hirano having 2 separate conversations with ichinose, while also adressing hanzawa. and hanzawa having exchanges with both hirano and ichinose. crazy. (and the only way for the reader to know who's speaking first or answering to what is through following the natural flow of the speech bubbles and that is actually such a tricky thing to do as a comic artist, though visual cues like the text font and bubble design help).

i think this is how harusono is able to establish so many character dynamics and worldbuilding without taking space from the main story. the result are these highly busy frames but it's also what makes her works feel so animated and real and Alive.
