Whisper me a love track hasn’t shied away from ‘Himari as a pet’ imagery, and whereas she might not have the ears and tail this time round, her puppyish angle is the middle of occasions this time round. Her candy nature makes Shiho really feel protected when she confides in her, and it makes Himari give you her ill-conceived, extremely naive plan to get SSGirls and Laureley to turn into pals. In Himari’s thoughts, all it takes is one good heart-to-heart to make all the pieces higher, and when that dialog about meals occurs, it could actually’t probably fail. However that assumes she has all of the details about Shiho and Aki’s relationship and the historical past between the women and their bands, and much more telling, it depends upon everybody having the identical candy nature as Himari herself. If she was one of many two injured events, sure, macarons and banter would remedy all the pieces. But she does not perceive that persons are rather more difficult than that, and her harmless relationships to date haven’t ready her for the deep anger and potential malice that Shiho carries.
That does not imply Shiho is a foul particular person. I’ll not take care of her as a personality, however she comes from a reasonably plausible background, the place an ideal storm of disappointments and expectations mixed to make her who she is. Does she blame others for her shortcomings and perceived imperfections? Yeah, I would say she does. However that is common and it permits her to discover a solution to cope, even when it is not very wholesome. Nonetheless, her use of Himari this week just isn’t a “good particular person” solution to act. It is fairly traditional Shiho: she’s stunned, feels betrayed, and acts in a approach that she in all probability thinks will put her in a stronger place. Her remark about having issues taken from her when she discovers Himari is courting Yori, proper earlier than she makes her ridiculous demand that Himari intervene in her feud with Aki, exhibits why she feels justified: she has Himari confided in, and although she in all probability does not. has romantic emotions for her (or not less than nothing greater than infatuation), when she finds out she’s concerned with “the enemy,” she looks like she’s been betrayed. It does not matter that Himari promised to not inform anybody about Shiho’s previous or that she’s courting the lady Aki favored as a substitute of Shiho; it hits too near Shiho’s insecurities. And so, as she often does, she lashes out.
Why does Himari settle for Shiho’s situation? It goes again to organising the style check to ‘assist’ Shiho and Aki reconcile. In her thoughts, she induced this case, and now it is as much as her to repair it. Is she eager about what Yori’s response will probably be? Perhaps not given her panic, and whereas we do not see any main friction between them because of this, it nonetheless feels a bit like skinny ice that Himari is standing on. In actuality, there’s nothing flawed along with her turning into pals with Laureley, and Yori handles it fairly properly, but it surely nonetheless feels prefer it could possibly be a bone of competition – or perhaps that is simply that I do not belief Shiho to behave correctly will behave as he ought to. to push. Because the story blithely strides by means of the supply materials, we’ll in all probability discover out eventually.
Judgement:
