Matakara What R U Hiding... - Blog Posts

Something I find fascinating is the way Matakara just refuses to take off his rose colored glasses when it comes to Arajin. Matakara is a kind, sincere and thoughtful guy, ready to fight injustice, so you would think he would not stand someone with a personality like Arajin. But that's not what's happening here. He always talks about the "super cool and kind and strong Ara-chan" even though this description could not be more removed from reality. Even as "Matakara's childhood friend", Arajin didn't have the strength to defend his opinions or protect Matakara (and the bullies make fun of him for that!)

I wonder what Matakara is seeing in Arajin, that we, the viewers aren't seeing yet
