Yamazaki, unfortunately, is hard at work patrolling the mean streets of his small town tonight, and he wouldn't want it any other way.

This might be controversial, and I don't want to get too political in this wholesome romance story, but Takeuchi will not be getting my vote either.

It might have been twenty or so years later for me, but I still remember making that same discovery that there are people online interested in the same thing as me. I've long since cut down on my internet usage but those were some fun summers

I spent too long trying to make a Japanese pun out of "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" but fortunately I found a slogan that hits just as hard.

And your point about the Eighties - continue to be on the lookout for that as the story continues.

And thanks for the notes! When I wrote it, I had police station in mind, but I can see how it could easily be confused with train station (and why that would be a touchy subject)

That's not too far off for me either - I watched that Bebop episode far before I knew it was a Rolling Stones song

Yuka - future Hoshinaut?

I've long since dropped social media, but Fall 2016 was probably my peak usage of it. The clown hysteria was everywhere, partially a joke, partially not.

And this is my first foray into political satire (and what a time to try it). Will it approach things with the grace and subtly of a feather or sledgehammer? Only time will tell. And that's not the last we'll see of the screen (big plans coming).

You ever have a moment while writing where you insert an inside joke knowing that nobody else is going to get it? That's what this basically is. There's an old Runescape machinima from like 2008 where a character, in reference to the crimes committed by a pair of murderers, ended every sentence with "Ha ha. Boys will be boys." in this ominous drawl. I haven't seen that video in years, but I still remember it distinctly, so into the story it goes.

That's the meta reason. In-universe: open to audience interpretation

It's certainly a relatable feeling. My thoughts on home shifted an incredible amount (in a positive direction) between high school and college

Had a bad feeling all the way back during her first POV chapter when she said she couldn't tell anybody about her future. Unfortunate to see the prediction came true (for her, I mean. Story-wise, I'm interested to see where this leads)

I would love to do a story set in Imperial Japan one day. Would definitely have to approach it the right way though. And if you couldn't tell yet, postwar Japan is my favorite part of Japanese history to study

Don't think I've rode a bike since middle school, but if I were to ever ride one again, it would be if I found a place like that

One day you'll reference an anime that I've seen and it'll be a beautiful day. But you're certainly giving me a nice backlog to watch. As for the train crossing itself - that was inspired by a line filled with similar melancholy in the film The Place Promised in Our Early Days

No need to apologize - I appreciate any and all comments. The contrast between a destructive war and a slow-motion economic decline lasting decade(s) is fascinating to me.

And thanks for sharing the anecdote - provides a really interesting perspective to things. Glad you can still see fine. It's funny - vibrancy is a prominent element in all of this, but I never thought about the possibility of things being too vibrant. As for associating nostalgia with vibrancy - this won't be the last time that theme appears.

Left most of my thoughts on Chapter 17, but really - this was a great read. Thelian and Chika were a great duo and I like how we gradually learned more about her as time went on. Great side characters too - Thundrakar and Thelian's dad are still my favorites. Regarding the themes, I thought you nicely balanced accepting Chika for who she is / Chika adapting to the world she's in. Thanks for posting this.
