A word of advice from someone who has been through this shit over and over. Don't try to justify how you feel about the story, it's your own personal experience. Share it, and if someone is attacking your take away from the story, they're just trying to make you sympathize with their own. Ships are garbage, no matter what you say, as long as you think it's cute, fuck whatever anyone else says. The author will never care about what you have to say, and someone as vindictive as Fujimoto might as well go out of his way to hurt your feelings. At the end, just cherish the characters who managed to find a place in your heart.
