History Manga / HyougeMono

AnAesop: The series has a recurring theme that art is subjective and people will take from it the meaning they want to take, not what the artist intended for them to take. This happens multiple times in the series, where someone tries to use art and aesthetics to give an important message, but instead ends up being interpreted in a completely different way, often tragically. Best exemplified when [[spoiler: Master Rikyuu sends his daughter a message in a poem intended to tell her to forego revenge for his death and to live a long and happy life, but she instead interprets it as a message telling her to seek revenge, which ultimately gets her killed.]]

I have known many people throughout my life. My relationship with everyone of them can be broken down to one-sided plunder or lavish generosity but with you, (killer), it was ''dar e receber'' (Por: Give and Take). That is the relationship I wanted to build with all people. Do you grasp my meaning? .... 'Tis love.
