I've watched what exists of the anime a few times now and I'm waiting excitedly for more to come. I love how all the characters feel (literally all of them but also especially the main cast), they're all massive weirdos in exactly the way that every real person is some kind of massive weirdo.

I'm actually a huge fan of Kabru even though I feel like I might not get along with him. Because, like... I know what Kabru is. If Laios has the bad-with-people knows-cool-facts therian autism, Kabru has obsessive-social-charter "I've finally solved people" binging-psychology-articles-on-Wikipedia autism. I've met so many people like him. I think I've qualified as him at more than a few points in my life. He's got low-empathy swag. He's quiet and unreadable and vaguely menacing but that's not because he's, like, a sigma male on the grindset, he's just got a touch of the ol' hypervigilance trying to profile everyone he ever meets so he knows exactly how to act and exactly how to feel and exactly how to get through the unbearable experience of Other People to earn what he needs with minimal pain.

I don't think estrogen would fix Kabru, but...
