>>3059979For the longest time I've been living under a rock, barely caring about anime at all and laughing at the concept of waifus. It wasn't until I saw the series in early 2017 that I realized that it finally hit me and there's no going back. Of course I didn't want to realize it first but why would I want to lie to myself? My life has been going uphill since then and as silly as this may sound, I like to think that it's no coincidence. For me, Mami became a clearly defined ideal worth fighting for - something I didn't even know I've been missing before I watched the show. I don't care that this ideal is fictional and unattainable, the sole awareness of Mami existing as an idea gives me strength and motivation to improve myself.
