Pretty great first couple of chapters! Certainly a lot of new information in just a short few pages added to Angel Beats. Pretty crazy.
I found it pretty interesting that the story is being told by Hinata to Otonashi, and how the SSS of course have their own uniforms. Makes me wonder who made them. And why Yuri hates the old ones so much. ^^
So, Hinata’s death is told to us almost immediately. I also find it peculiar that he knows the moments before he entered the afterlife pretty clearly, and Yuri tells him he should (after she stalks him through hallways and kicks him off the roof) remember dying- Which is no longer the case come the anime. Someone else must have amnesia in the future. :o We also see a bit of foreshadowing to Yuri when Hinata calls her out on her homicidal ways and she freaks out. -3-
We get the pretty obvious Hinata x Yuri OTP throughout the whole thing with the talk of love and all. Really. They just… Fit. But they never want to really admit it to one another. Yuri is reluctant to accept him, along with most anything due to how she separates herself from anything that promotes happiness (as Hinata notes, anyways), and Hinata constantly states how he finds her pretty and all- Fighting himself over finding her attractive at all due to her attitude… But I think he likes her~ Wants her to never be alone and be happy. He would give his life for her!.. If he wasn’t already dead. And even when he gets himself hurt, it looks pretty clear that Yuri cares for him. He even helps her tons with planning and all. Plus she likes his ideas~
Other things are of course Ooyama and his being smart enough to figure out that they’re all dead on his own. Tenshi being names by Hinata, why she made her abilities (to protect the principal, who’s been attacked -countless- times now, and by Chaa!) All very interesting!
Also worth note- Yuri knows about other people being obliterated. Just like ‘Tenshi’~
