So I love it when one character is locked up and another isn't.....like...I love this trope.....although it's only really cool in fantasy....

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH Y'ALL.

Okami.... I love him. I love him. I love him. The way that he loves Mariko like....perfection...absolutely perfect. 

Mariko literally carrying all of the world on her back, solving all the problems. She has the brain cell.

I really liked how the magic and the setting developed. 

I love it when people realize that they're stupid and wrong. 

That epilogue... All the heart eyes.

All the pretty words....I love a guy who can say really pretty things about love ok.....I'm fine... Okami is really smooth.....
I love feuding families and the drama that goes with it.
