This chapter was cool. They already sort of try to work things out with one another.

wtf is going on? I don't really understand the whole becoming one thing. I don't really get what Oshimi is trying to say with the symbolism.

I think what Oshimi is trying to illustrate is going beyond sex and gender. Their souls intertwine and return to a time of nothingness, but within that nothingness is the freedom beyond the shackles of sex and gender that hold us back and divide us. To go to the beginning, before we distinguished ourselves. When we melt together, we become one. But in the end, the two realize by leaving the oneness and live, only then can they find eachother.

Interesting chapter. For another time, throughout this series, we could see an unique way of storytelling. This time it was storytelling based on images, symbolism, and minimalism. To me, it looked very good.

Yes, I also had exactly the same impression. One of future chapters will surely reveal more details about it, so we might see whether our interpretations were right or not. For now, I can't think of any other interpretation, to be honest.

Yea, that sounds kind of nice when you read it. But the chapter was still a sex scene. And fuck, it was so try hard and boring. Like a virgin arts student, head full of flowers, romanticising horni into abstract artsy crap.

The thing with what you wrote is - you can totally do that and still display actual sex, like real, hot, deep, steamy sex, sweat, intimacy, closeness, all of that and then some. Doesn't even need much narration. Instead, we get swirly-lines wonderland.
(I'm not ranting about what you wrote. Just about what the author did instead of what they could have done.)
