My Dress Up Darling S2 Episode 8

Comments

There is also difference between how you spell 'boku'. One is used by basically kids (i think lowpitch>highpitch) and the other by adults in formal situations (highpitch>lowpitch). In terms of anime: Boku is used by characters that sound humble or little kids.

12:45 You both look slightly puzzled, so here's a simple primer based on my understanding: In Japanese, there are three widely-used first-person pronouns, what in English would always be "I" (or "me" with bad grammar or some dialects). One is "watashi" (wah-tah-shee), which is favored by females, but also considered the polite word to use in formal speech. There are some uncommon variations (mostly being archaic, I believe) like "washi" and "atashi". Another is "boku" (boh-ku), which is favored by males, usually younger ones. It's informal, but not impolite. It's somewhat uncommon among girls, and seems to have a big overlap with the girl being a tomboy. Lastly there's "ore" (ore-ay), which is very strongly favored by males, usually teens or older. It is informal, and can even be considered a bit brash or rude in some contexts. It's really uncommon for girls to use this. It's also common among young children, girls especially, to not use a first person pronoun at all when it would be called for, but instead to refer to themselves by name in the third person.

I think the manga Wes is thinking of is Kuroko’s Basketball.

Here’s another testament to how much love CloverWorks put into this show. They expanded a character who only gets one off-screen mention in the manga, Aoi, into the narrator of the infographics.

Oh that's why! Of course. I was just thinking why was Wes hallucinating her age. lol

03:38 - I think you may be confusing Suzuka with Shinju. Suzuka met Marin at her first cosplay event (S1 episode 5). Shinju (Juju's younger sister) on the other hand is indeed still in middle school despite having very mature looks for her age.
