As a cis-dude I feel like this anime wants me to identify with another character but I keep seeing myself in Shizuka. I don't understands why but I kinda like it.

I appreciate the perspective. You're totally right. I often feel pressured to be fearless or lead like Akira. I am sometimes supposed to be the badass warrior like the samurai chick. I'm sometimes supposed to be whatever sort of masculine Akira's best friend is. But I relate to Shizuka... maybe that's why nobody pressures me to be like her.
