47news interview with Tamifull

Really shows why Tamifull is one of my favorite mangaka. She's very level-headed and amazing. "How Do We Relationship" is such a refreshing series!

The Palace Perspective: Nanami Kiryuu at the Heart of the World

As the author once wrote, "Utena would be a fine show no matter what, but its focuses outside of orientation are what make it so lastingly, vitally precious to me. I’ve seen a lot of people say 'what an amazing gay show, shame about all the sibling shit' about Utena, while I've always been 'what an amazing show about sibling shit, I guess the gay stuff is also worthwhile,' and that is, I suppose, the palace perspective. (...) Essentially, Utena is a Gay Show if you wanna call it that, sure. But it is not a cutesy gay show, it is far more than the love story at its core, and its baseline Representation factor is both somewhat shallow imo and also not why it matters to me."
