It's a little scary how much of myself I see in Takako. Throughout middle school and high school, I lost a lot of friends (no one died, that I know of, fortunately). I became increasingly obsessive when it came to the few people that didn't leave, at the same time I found it impossible to become attached to anyone new. Even now, I tend to 'go overboard' way too often.

Anyway, I think it's incredible how easy it is to relate to these characters. That's probably not the best thing when I think about the genre their story falls under. This series has certainly been a positive experience, even with all the horror and nausea it filled me with (I think my own story will only benefit from watching this, and soon, from reading the manga and novel translation if I can find both).
