@yuricandykiss I love how it breaks the composition that the other covers had where Mai prorgressively got more confident with the relationship but was still a small part of the piece and then on this last her hand basically part of the full picture, like she's on the same frame as Lily
Welp atleast we got I will love you till your dying day this july😭 And I'm glad that they seem to be confident enough about its success the project to already release figures

@mizitski Yeah I totally got it bc when I read the comic it was my reaction too😭 Like, we don't have a lot to work with rn so I just want to sit back and observe but at the same time I found that part to be a bummer
See, this is why I hope we get some heavy recontextualization as to why the dynamics have been the same as the og universe so far. I know that it might be the point they are trying to make but-
I had sm grace for till in the main world bcs hes horribly abused by the aliens and he’s obsessed with mizi as a coping mechanism but in a modern au NO EXCUSES he can have a crush sure. But BACK off she’s obviously with sua she does not want you dont even THINK about it
Atleast the ZOMST au kinda has a cycle theme going on that justifies the repetition of the events but for the high school one it doesn't seem as interesting (so far given what little we have been shown ofc).
Some things can naturally make sense as to why they are consistent (like Mizi's personality for example) but like op said Till's crush was so heavily related to his past in the alien stage universe, it being here feels soooo redundant at first glance.
