On the one hand, I appreciate that we got a chapter focusing on Rinne. I feel like her POV is fresh when we have pretty much exclusively seen things from Saki’s POV so far.
However, I am not convinced that introducing some new character and chronic health condition is adding a lot yet to the story. I would have liked to see Rinne’s perspective on Saki and Kanon more I think. I am willing to see where this goes though.
Also, pretty sure that every chuuni character starts this way…
On one hand it’s a decent way to show how Rinne changed since we first met her, on the other, this is the third character with an “unusual” health problem in a pretty small cast. While it’s not impossible, additions like this can easily lead to the character composition issue where suddenly all (or most) of the group are special/unique/whatever to a point where suspension of disbelief can be difficult (at least for me). Fiction has to make more sense and feel more “logical” than real life after all.
I’m curious how this goes.
Yeah, agreed. We are really starting to stretch the bounds of believability here between Tomita suddenly losing her hearing in one ear and then Kanon happening to find a deaf kitten and now Rinne’s new friend. This kind of scenario made a lot more sense in a series like Love’s in Sight!, since one of the settings is a dedicated school for the blind. So, it made sense that a large portion of the characters had sight impairments.
We can only hope this won’t become a regular thing for now, I guess.
