lot of mixed feelings. i feel like reactionary adult supremacy and sexual teleology is presented without much criticism, and although many of the actions that ultimately take place give the appearance of challenging these ideologies, I ultimately think its still framed within a coming-of-age storyline about how they'll eventually grow out of it and assimilate (both chuuni and amatonormatively), and the Real Adults allow it because of this fact. the initial ring presentation is anthropology cute.
