Thoughts on Episode 7 (With Major Spoilers)

Taiga practices his kanji in the hospital. Writing = healing. Also, notice the warm yellow lighting in the shot.

This is very sad because the student is burning with resentment that Manami hasn't been ruined by Taiga. Both the student and Manami are dressed alike which would suggest they are essentially the same person but Manami stands in a beam of sunlight.

This is like lying inception: Taiga lies to Manami, she knows it but goes along with it anyway, Taiga figures out she knows but both of them keep the lie going to the end of the call. They aren't ready to be together yet. But their tie isn't severed either. Also aieeeeeeeeeee 😭💔

Unexpected plot twist: Manami is moving out and the changes that have already taken place inside her are affecting her entire family. The house is flooded with sunlight, her mother is wearing yellow and her father looks a lot more frail. But Manami still has growing to do (notice the half-down hair)

Meanwhile changes are happening for Taiga too but he feels a bit behind Manami at this point. Rather than choosing to leave The Joker, it's the manager who tells him to leave. Also, this dude is totally going to turn out to be Taiga's father, yes?

Manami chooses to put Taiga's hat away in the closet with her childhood dolls as if he's something that she needs to outgrow. But Taiga keeps Manami's hat with him at all times. Who's doing the right thing: Manami for trying to move forward into adulthood or Taiga for keeping his feelings for her close to his heart?

Wow, all the catches above are wonderful, thank you!!...many things that I missed, especially the hat things! And the madonna. Basically everything lol. Wow. I noticed the train plays a prominent roll, the bar goes down and red lights flashing, and trains going opposite where she is going, and finally when she breaks away from Daddy, she's going in the direction of the train. Someone pointed out in Ep 9, taiga rolls off a wall and the noise makes a sound like train tracks.

I really appreciate your comments but I have a request: please don't mention anything that happens in episodes after 7 even if it's a small detail. I know it's hard not to when you're excited about the show but I'm trying to have a space to discuss the show without worrying about getting spoiled and I'm sticking to watching on Netflix. Thank you!
