I'm still not even sure what this is even about. It just seems random lol. But I'll still check it out though.

Friend, it's Ikuhara. With him, you never know what it's really "about" until the last few episodes.

Ah, none of that made the slightest bit of sense whatsoever.

But it's Ikuhara, what would you expect? You have to actually watch the show to get it!


and even after you watch the show, everyone will "get it" in an entirely different way :p

Why not bears?

[I understand that "bear hunter" is something that has a lot of cultural resonances in japan, particularly in the north; bears are large and dangerous, and given japan's geography wilderness often comes quite close to populated areas. Most guns still in private hands are bear-hunter heirlooms, and stuff like that. So I'd expect it'd be tying into that cultural complex, and also to bear-as-cute-symbol/teddy-bear, because this is ikuhara and tensions between how people see themselves and how they present themselves are one of his things...]

So if this is about humans vs. bears, and the humans are girls and the bears are boys, then this is a battle of the sexes? (With yuri, OC)

Except two of the girls are bears. Did you really think it would be that simple?
