Man I sure hope so. The first book expends a lot of pages on the wonders of this magical boy (and a little bit of time about the misgivings he had from it). The second one is nowhere near as coy about its thesis: singular heroes must necessarily cause, either directly or indirectly, a lot of suffering, and do a lot of evil, to be become singular heroes. Maybe magical boys aren't a thing we should celebrate so much. The idea that singular people can so embody goodness that we need to build statues or found religions around them is really a thing that needs to die in global society. Celebrate the act, not the person doing it.
