>>3079397There are definitely many things to discuss and theorycraft about, but I think it makes you look at the series in a more in depth, analytical way, rereading chapter to spot plots-relevant details, etc. That is more or less how I approach the series now when it comes to the threads.
Before the TV show aired, I never caught any thread here and had essentially an isolated exposure to HnK and Ichikawa's other manga, which created a very melancholic, hard-to-put-into-words feeling, like a dream you only half-remember. Her short stories still somewhat make me feel that way.
