I love shoujo manga. It's really written with a girls heart in mind.

One of the main reasons Sei stays back after avenging her family's murder is her love for Okita sensei. Does it seem childish? Does it seem like something a young girl who doesn't know consequences would do? The kind of questions that pop into one's mind when it comes to motives of young girls that isn't about "goals".

Say this was a shonen manga, nobody would question a boys' motive of joining the shinsengumi, all he needs to show is loyalty to their teacher, someone they are dedicated to follow and get better with sheer will power and gumption.

Thing is sei shows all that, she lost her family, is an orphan, and comes with a strong resolve of even shaving her head to play the part of a guy to join the mibu roshi. She puts her femininity on the line for a cause. Her admiration and love for Okita sensei isn't different because she's in love with him. It doesn't make her any less "noble". I like the early volumes show sei growing and understanding her way around the mibu roshi while in love with okita, if anything it makes her resolve strong and to understand why she wants to serve under him.

Ofcourse later the narrative is brought along the lines of how is this any different from Okita's dedication to Kondo san.

I just always feel how girls agency to fall in love is questioned as something immature of a goal to start with. Is it immature? We don't ask the same question to a boy, where we accept they are still too young and will come to experience things slowly but surely.

Sei's love for Okita is enough of a determination to stay after avenging her family. I like manga established that fact early on. For her it's go back to being a girl and get married. Finding a purpose in life can be something that revolves around love.

Reading Yumi Tamura's mystery to iunakare, something that totonou states abt feminism is also abt liberating men and it got me into thinking abt kaze hikaru.

Okita slowly let's himself experience this emotion called romantic love, it doesn't make him weak, it made him strong and he is liberating himself from society's expectations of patriarchy as he let's kamiya be by his side as his protector and to rely on her. He doesn't have to think that he needs to provide for her as a man then only he is capable of loving her, or that it means he lost his resolve in his swordsmanship. He sees her as an equal to compete!!!!
