Act-Age Chapter 94

I do feel bad for Hanako. What she went through with Kei’s dad is something no one, not another artist or another person, should go through. To be used and discarded like she was would be emotionally and mentally scarring enough to make anyone break down at worst, or stop doing what they love (creating art, in her case) at the very least. I think it’s admirable she was able to use what Kei’s dad encouraged her to do - incorporate flames in her art - for her own betterment. 

But that’s all I find admirable about her.

As I mentioned in a previous post, it really bothers me how Hanako provoked Kei, and continues to provoke her, to be as angry as possible. Hanako’s reasoning in this latest chapter just cements how selfish she is as an artist, and her past with Kei’s dad explains more about how she learned to be that selfish. Kei’s dad taught Hanako how an artist (or writer, in his case) can be so focused on his craft, that he’ll go to extreme lengths - using (sacrificing) another artist, another person (Kei’s mom, and family) - to make that work as perfect as possible. And Hanako perpetuates this cycle of the selfish artist using others to further her work, regardless of how it harms those people, as the director for Princess Iron Fan Team B. 

So while I sympathize with Hanako, I don’t like her any more than I did before this chapter. She’s still an adult using a minor for her own selfish advantage, at the price of Kei’s wellbeing. Hanako has the opportunity to be a better mentor to Kei than Kei’s dad was to her, but she chooses to put her desire to see her “vision” (that scene she’s waiting to create beyond the flames of her anger) come to life, instead of helping Kei grow as an artist. (It’s true that Hanako’s helped Kei develop as an actress in previous chapters, but to me, that’s only for the benefit of creating a more perfect Princess Iron Fan, not for Kei herself.)

I want to hope for the better. I want to hope that Hanako will realize she’s treating Kei the way Kei’s dad treated her, that she’ll shift gears and put Kei before her art. But I just don’t see that happening, right now. It just seems like Kei is spiraling further out of control in her effort to fuel Princess Iron Fan’s rage, and Hanako’s right there, fanning the flames.

I want you to show me that emotion on the stage.

Honestly this plan will blow on Hanako’s face. Back at the start of the series Yonagi already showed some psychological effects (sleep deprivation and slight personality change imo) of method acting, but Kuroyama made her experience other acting methods and meet other actors to get her off the deep end.  And now Yonagi was already driven to the point her siblings feel uneasy about her, only to get thrown deeper into the unhealthy method acting way.

The A and B groups alternate the nights, Yonagi either falls on the first night (and has to get support from her school friends. See chpt. 78) and pulls through or she stays in the deep end until the last show and falls. This obviously depends on which team will win, and thanks to this I’m in the B camp.

Speaking of all that, I don’t believe Hanako was actually with Yonagi’s father at any point. It seemed that Hanako knew him enough to be surprised about abandoning Kei and her siblings. Also I always thought their father was a director, but Hanako mentioning him getting rid of all the books makes me think he was an author instead.

On lighter a lighter subject! I made a version of Hanako with a black background, but I felt like it looses some of that shakiness Usazaki intended :/
