“Choosing” a honmei is like going to the cat shelter thinking you’ll go for a cute kitten and a deranged dumpster rescue clings to your jacket and yowls until you take it home. And now you are stuck with a gremlin that wasn’t your first choice but somehow means the world to you.

@thedayshedied I have seen multiple people refusing to see the comparison, so no, it is not directed at you specifically. And it's not offensive, just naive. The similarities are very obvious, especially when you think about mitsu culture. Heck, even paying 5000yen for a 2shot to (cont.)
