それでも歩は寄せてくる | Week 1 Discussion ♟

[ChristopherFritz]

こと is one of those things that you get used to over time. But it helps to get some extra information to kickstart that.

Here’s something I wrote for a similar line (in this case, wanting to learn about someone’s こと) in レンタルおにいちゃん:

@ChristopherFritz

Kanami thinks about all the things she wants to learn about Makoto-oniichan, about who he is. The wording for this is 「慎おにいちゃんのこと」. When referring to a person, こと sort of encompasses everything about a person, their essence. It’s the way the walk, the way they talk, how they interact with others, how they spend their time, why they do what they do. Wanting to know all about his こと means Kanami wants to know all about Makoto.
