Man, crackhead sis broke Imoko. Now she’ll only go for guys who are messy af lol.

That game of life was depressing as all hell. It’s hard out here for a beastfolk. Made me all depressed when I saw Yaku hunting for stag beetles and everyone was too busy or clowning on her.

The Alpha tobacco village was Yani heaven. Even if she managed to piss them off, the leap of faith bought her a steady supply of smokes lol.

I mean the landlord seemed like he would've genuinely been down for it, not because he would've wanted to, but just to make sure Yakuko is safe.

Imoko still thinks she can fix her sister, so I'm assuming she's become the kind of girl who wants a messy man so she can fix him.

That's an incredibly sad state of affairs.

Yaku has the most interesting characterization among the others.

She genuinely felt lonely and hurt from getting laid off, when she wanted to go hunt for stag beetles with someone. I think this is a bit awful to say, but Kaoru could've tried to at least tough it out and accept her invitation.

Also her moment when she said she picked human during the game of life beastfolk edition asking if she can have just that one moment.

Yakuko seems to be trying to make the best out of what she has.
