This week
Yeah…somehow this normalization of domestic violence was what stuck out most to me about Asumi’s dad. It’s a shame because I have a feeling he’s supposed to be a more nuanced and mostly likeable character, someone who’s fallen on hard times, lost his wife and his job and become abrasive, because his mental health has taken a hit, but he still loves his daughter.
I wasn’t sure what to make of Mr. Lion given that the first thing we see him do is grope a middle school girl and then he hangs out with her while wearing a weird costume, but the realization that he’s a ghost somehow makes him less weird and more interesting.
