Hello folks, and welcome on back to Wrong Every Time. Today I\u2019m thinking we\u2019re due for a return to the charming drama of Skip and Loafer, wherein Mitsumi has most recently adopted her most prickly companion so far. In spite of initially distrusting Mitsumi\u2019s sunny disposition, Mika eventually found it impossible to resist sheltering our guileless little duckling, and even training her for the big field day volleyball tournament. And for her own part, Mika also added some welcome friction into this altogether cheerful narrative, emphasizing how many people simply lack the natural disposition to succeed in the ways Mitsumi has. Mitsumi navigates the invisible social minefield of high school by largely ignoring it; to someone like Mika, who had to change her look, her interests, and even her personality to fit in, it\u2019s understandable that Mitsumi\u2019s success would feel \u201cunearned\u201d in some way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, the truth is that sincerity simply works. Some people will scorn you for being simplistic, some people will doubt your intentions, but if you stick to your own truth, you\u2019ve a good chance of finding people who actually like you for who you are, and appreciate your earnest embracing of life\u2019s pleasures. Most of us don\u2019t have such instantly winning personalities as Mitsumi, but we\u2019re not monsters; all we can do is speak as honestly as we can, share what compassion we can offer, and accept that we can\u2019t please everyone. And fortunately for people like Mika, the Mitsumis of the world will always be there to lend a hand, if only we can keep ourselves from resenting them for being so dang upbeat and likable all the time. Let\u2019s get to it!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 6<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We again open on a return to Mitsumi\u2019s seaside home, this time presented courtesy of a video chat with her friend Fumino. Mitsumi\u2019s connection with her hometown is not an abstract thing, a simple spoken motivation – it is a persistent, active part of her life, informing her evolving feelings on her Tokyo life as well. In this way, the story maintains Mitsumi\u2019s presence as someone always a step removed from the hustle and bustle of city life, while also ensuring her dream of revitalizing this town feels tangible and relevant to her everyday emotions<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh boy, Fumino\u2019s got a boy she likes! And considering their village only has like a dozen children, I imagine it\u2019s someone Mitsumi knows as well<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mitsumi was certainly uniquely well-suited to the small town life. Someone like Mika would undoubtedly feel stifled and resentful of such a limited social experience, but Mitsumi enjoys knowing and being known by everyone in her community<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitsumi feels somewhat left behind by Fumi\u2019s crush<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut we <\/span>are<\/span><\/i> at that age now\u2026\u201d Mitsumi\u2019s lack of peer experience is often apparent in her reactions to situations like this – her knowledge is all hypothetical, and mostly reflective of an older generation looking back some distance towards Mitsumi\u2019s immediate life experience. You can hear her parents’ lessons when she speaks<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I appreciate Mitsumi\u2019s creepy hand gestures as she plugs Fumi for more information on love<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou want to see someone, but you run away. You want to talk to them, but you trip over your words. Sounds complicated\u2026\u201d Fumi\u2019s lovestruck behavior is of course uniquely foreign to Mitsumi, who has pretty much always said and done exactly what she wants to. Infatuation serves as an extension of adolescence\u2019s general painful self-awareness for most, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see if Mitsumi is similarly afflicted, or if she can embrace romantic feelings with the confidence she otherwise embodies<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAssuming I fall in love someday, will I be able to recognize it? I should ask the girls when I get to class.\u201d Well at least so far she\u2019s going about this in a profoundly Mitsumi-esque way<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But no time for that, it\u2019s final exam season!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGiven I\u2019m aiming for Tokyo U, I need to stay comfortably in the single digits.\u201d A plan that is immediately contrasted against Shima\u2019s conspicuous absence. Shima\u2019s lackadaisical attitude has mostly been an intriguing novelty to Mitsumi, but I imagine his total indifference to the future might actually spur her into mother hen concern eventually<\/span><\/p>\n

Yeah, the friction begins immediately. Mitsumi texts Shima the exam syllabus, and is shocked to then learn that he wasn\u2019t sick, he just didn\u2019t feel like attending school. \u201cBut that\u2019s skipping!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mitsumi is briefly caught up in her classmates\u2019 rumors of Shima being some kind of middle school street thug, but reminds herself not to take such rumors at face value. The color design aids the impact of the transition here, with the aggressive purple jacket and black background of her Shima fantasy cutting to the show\u2019s usual pastels, signaling a dramatic return to normalcy<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, her dreams are not so accommodating, and she soon finds herself envisioning a street biker Shima dropping out of school. I like how even in her fantasies of delinquency, Shima is still polite enough to officially inform the school that he\u2019s dropping out<\/span><\/p>\n

Absolutely fantastic face as she reflects on her dream while walking to school<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Shima is absent once again. A fine way to provoke Mitsumi into action<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to illustrating the differences in their life perspectives, this crisis is also forcing Mitsumi to consider how much Shima now means to her, and what a crucial aspect of this new life he has become<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, he arrives in school by lunchtime<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitsumi feels oddly betrayed by Shima\u2019s indifference to school, and doesn\u2019t return his greeting<\/span><\/p>\n

A long shot encompassing the entire empty classroom emphasizes the uncomfortable intimacy of the two stapling handouts after class<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should care more about yourself and your reputation!\u201d Here it is. Mitsumi cares more about Shima\u2019s future than he does, a presumption he never asked for<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cExams are important even to first-years.\u201d \u201cMaybe they are to you.\u201d For the first time, he actually pushes back<\/span><\/p>\n

And though it was only a light snap, and he didn\u2019t even really mean it, his words erect a swift wall between them. Mitsumi rushes out before he can apologize, both of them embarrassed in their own ways – Shima for letting his ugly underlying feelings show in a conversation with his precious friend, Mitsumi for assuming too much, and believing she knew Shima better than this<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cHe must hate people prying into his life, like with the child actor thing.\u201d Fortunately, Mitsumi\u2019s actually got perfectly reasonable emotional intelligence, and immediately recognizes her mistake<\/span><\/p>\n

Tragically, she\u2019s at the same time certain his works were actually a retort to her dismissive framing of his perspective back before the entrance exams. Our own personal preoccupations create frequent misalignments of perspective like this, wherein we assume others are speaking in terms of our own most inescapable memories and regrets. Only earnest communication can resolve this, but at this point Mitsumi and Shima are suffering from being a little <\/span>too<\/span><\/i> earnest, from challenging each other on one of the topics where their perspectives are least aligned. Frustratingly, even learning what topics to <\/span>not<\/span><\/i> raise with certain friends is indeed a crucial aspect of developing bonds; you\u2019re not going to agree with people about everything, so you gotta learn where your productive conversations lie<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, that\u2019s probably what he meant. He probably wasn\u2019t mad at all. Anyway, I\u2019ll find out tomorrow.\u201d A very healthy mindset<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Shima isn\u2019t entirely sure he <\/span>wasn\u2019t<\/span><\/i> holding a grudge. Oh boy<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou, a class officer?\u201d \u201cMaybe I should leave.\u201d Shima\u2019s desperate for advice, but his old friends likely won\u2019t be able to offer it. Mitsumi embodies an approach to life he\u2019s becoming increasingly enamored with, but doesn\u2019t yet embody – in contrast, his friends all expect the old shiftless Shima, and are quick to chide him for genuinely engaging with his scholastic life<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou oughta cut that out. It makes you seem like behind that smile, you\u2019re mad as hell. It\u2019s scary!\u201d Nonetheless, some ruthlessly pinpoint advice from his old friend<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s the best friend I have among the girls. So I guess I just didn\u2019t want to hear it from her.\u201d Shima is accustomed to tuning out demands he change his ways, but Mitsumi is important to him, and so he always listens to her. Having her specifically turn into another vector for shame was what made him snap<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really see the point in \u2018clearing the air\u2019 sort of talks. If things are fine, they\u2019ll be fine. If not, no talking will fix them.\u201d God, what a self-satisfied, self-defeating approach to personal relations! A perspective that reflects his prior total indifference to having genuine close bonds; he\u2019s perfectly happy just drifting apart from anyone who gets close enough to actually hurt him<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that you\u2019re talking about any kind of relationship is headline news.\u201d As his friend mentally notes, his preoccupation with this Mitsumi situation means Mitsumi is something new, something that means more to him than his previous philosophy of indifference can handle<\/span><\/p>\n

And of course, Mitsumi isn\u2019t <\/span>actually<\/span><\/i> able to push this disagreement from her mind at all, and thus greets Shima the next day with a crazed half-smile and bloodshot eyes<\/span><\/p>\n

With neither of them able to bridge the gap, the two discuss the weather and That Is All<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitsumi\u2019s new plan: stare daggers at him around corners and over worksheets until something randomly changes<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She\u2019s even desperate enough to try the old \u201cmy friend has a problem\u201d gambit with Mika<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was coming from a place of concern!\u201d Mitsumi\u2019s confidence in her approach to life makes it that much harder for her to accept blame for the current situation<\/span><\/p>\n

Mika gives her one crucial hint, asking her if she really said what she intended to say. Was it scorn for Shima\u2019s attitude that she wanted to express, or something more precise?<\/span><\/p>\n

I like the increased use of perspective shots as we move closer to the resolution, drawing the audience that much further into the uncomfortable headspace of our leads<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI want you to come to school because it\u2019s boring without you around. That\u2019s what I really wanted to say.\u201d There we go. Don\u2019t undercut your feelings by framing them as some arbitrary secondary effect of your life philosophy – tell Shima that he\u2019s important to you<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to this confession, Shima responds by equally respecting her anxieties, assuring her that he\u2019s not actually in any danger of dropping out of school. He previously saw making himself clear to others as simply too much of a bother to handle, but he <\/span>wants<\/span><\/i> Mitsumi to worry about him, wants her to understand him, wants her to know he\u2019ll be okay<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m used to people making up wild stories about me. But Mitsumi\u2026 I don\u2019t want <\/span>you<\/span><\/i> to believe them.\u201d He was able to handle the rumors because he didn\u2019t care about others, and thus didn\u2019t care what they thought of him. But for once, he deeply cares about the approval of another<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t made up with someone so dramatically since grade school!\u201d Shima can\u2019t help but see the humor in being such a clich\u00e9<\/span><\/p>\n

And at last, Mitsumi feels those sparks!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

Ah, what a delightful episode! Our adorable leads had their first fight, and as these things often do, it ended up leading the pair of them to a greater level of intimacy and mutual trust. Shima\u2019s conflict here was as much with himself as with Mitsumi – he\u2019d essentially walled himself off from the painful prospect of intimacy altogether, meaning forgiving Mitsumi required opening himself up to all the pain and confusion of once again putting your self-image in the hands of another. But fortunately, though Mitsumi might not know anything about romance, she\u2019s still as trustworthy a confidant as you could hope to find. Buoyed on by Mitsumi recognizing what she truly wanted to say, each was able to acknowledge how much the other meant to them, offering one of the most charming reconciliations I\u2019ve seen. These two are just too friggin\u2019 adorable!<\/span><\/p>\n
