Oh, boy, oh boy. I didn’t expect the next chapter to be different yet still captivating. Within Plain View is about Nanao, the brother Mitsuha is looking for. This section looks at Nanao’s life as the older brother to Hiromu and their “brotherly” relationship (I’ll have to admit that it took me several pages to realize that these are two totally different characters from the first section. Yeah, the hair of Nanao looks different from the Nana of the first section but I really didn’t pay to much attention. I just thought he dyed his hair or something. The characters look similar – my mistake). I like this chapter for 2 reasons.
1. I was really drawn in to Hiromu’s situation and the feeling he has for Nanao. He’s been trying so hard to push them back and hide them Nanao but much to his surprise and relief Nanao has feelings for him as well and finally they are both able to be honest with one another and express how they truly feel. The story between the two of them really resolves itself very nicely.
2. Now here’s the second awesome part about this section. It is revealed that Mitsuha is actually a writer and has published quite a few books about his many travels. Now, how does this tie into the story. While . . . Hiromu is a fan of Mitsuha’s work and while visiting the Mikasa Hill Foster Home to find out information about Nanao, Hiromu learns that Nanao’s older brother is Mitsuha Kawase (who has been looking for him for years). The lady at the foster home also tells Hiromu that due to a fire 5 years ago the foster home has no idea where Nanao resides (someone knows and that Hiromu. I wonder if he told the lady at the foster home?)
Maybe section three will tie all the loose ends together . . . .
