I really don't like her as a character, which is odd because I quite like Lion, but there you go. Just about everything about her makes me roll my eyes (metaphorically speaking; I've long since gotten over physically doing that), and I find her story tedious. Yasu-as-Beatrice is slightly more interesting, but she completely destroys Beatrice's character and reminds me of what a shame it was that the best character in the series was killed off three episodes ago and never came back.

I'm just not able to accept this new character is "really her" (for whatever permutation of translation you want to ascribe Yasu-to-Beatrice in the first place), and I find that to be a major failing on ryukishi's part. I've couched this post entirely as my opinion because I'm sure other people have no problem with it, but meh. I'm really thinking more and more that he killed the dynamic in the name of literature, and I'm torn two ways about that.
