I HAVE A LOTTT OF DISORGANIZED THOUGHTS but the short of it is like. i'm just REALLY REALLY invested in what's been presented so far...

and i'm also just REALLY invested in all the presented fairy tales and what they say about each character. i find it really really fun and telling of their characters... especially because the bookmark in Peter and Wendy means... eichi never finished it

and the eichi wataru conversation in the first chapters was also insane. it makes me wish i understood eichi more deeply as a character so i could write essays about what his lies mean and what the "boundaries" between his idol and real self blurring means, if it's actually happening, etc... like Wow

eichi's division of himself has always been so interesting, like with Supernova and his relationship with chiaki, we see a lot about how much heroes mean to him despite his apparent hatred... and so seeing this but with fairy tales makes me very intrigued. tokusatsu is often cited as escapism, fairy tales are also often cites as escapism, and the same goes with idols as well... i'm interested in how they connect to what another and why idols touch eichis heart so deeply compared to the others, or why eichi feels so hurt and betrayed by the others while not for idols. im just very invested in these details...

and packing this all in such a simple prologue of tori flipping through fairy tale picture books... i really love its set up! im so excited for part 2!
