sanju mariko chapter 27 is so funny to me like, wdym Kurahara was aura-farming/mewing/nonchalantmaxxing 24/7 and mariko-san showed up and broke her mewing streak 😭😭

i hope the future chapter show more of mariko and kurahara i loved their dynamic of lively determined old lady and nonchalantmaxxing young adult LMAO.

kurahara was harsh as hell but she (and galio) is the unfiltered honesty that mariko-san needs to further her growth instead of the stagnant nicety the other characters gave her at the beginning of the series!!

the new chaoter was just updated a few days ago i cant wait for the next one im gonna cry omg

okay this scene actually broke my heart like.... umiko-san my belove i want u to be happy

anyway my personal projection of this scene ahead!!

damn i lowkey understand why umiko-san was just a lil bit disappointed seeing that she didnt make it, but feel like absolute shit after seeing Kai's being selected, cuz i was kinda in a similar situation to her a few times before lololol

idk if this is jealousy or envy or just-me-finally-developed-self-consciousness-due-to-being-growed-up but recently when i see my peers getting awards at stuff that i dabbled in, i kinda feel like shit LOL

yes, im happy that my peers got the achievements that they deserve!! however at the same time, i cant help but feel like shit being presented by the reality of my limited skills haha

when umiko lies down and says "wrinkled hands" it hits me so hard i sobbed. she had spent her whole life basically living for other people, and when she had time to do something for herself, that free time feel so limited. I WANT HER TO BE HAPPY AND DOES ALL THE THING SHE WANTS!!!! the scene where she just looked absolutely devastated made me lost my mind, i physically cannot see her being sad 😭😭😭

anyway the impressiion i got from this scene is that umiko-san feels trapped by her lack of time and the limitation old age has on her.

cant wait to see how chapter 29 is like!! im super curious about kai's reaction, i find it really sweet that he calls to check up on her. im curious to see how this is gonna affect their relationship. if my interpretation of umiko-san's feeling of self-consciousness pairing with jealousy(?) is correct things might be awkward between the two lmaoo
