Probably him drifting away from her in middle school. The acid only just made things worse physically.

If you engage in violent actions — even as an act of self-defense — you could face serious charges:

Assault: If your actions do not result in injury, you may still be charged with assault, which carries penalties of up to two years in prison, a fine of up to ¥300,000, or detention.
Injury: If your actions cause physical harm to the other person, you could face up to 15 years in prison or a fine of up to ¥500,000.
The Japanese Penal Code defines these offenses as follows:

Article 204: “A person who causes another person to suffer injury is punished by imprisonment for not more than 15 years or a fine of not more than ¥500,000.”
Article 208: “A person who commits an act of assault is punished by imprisonment for not more than two years, a fine of not more than ¥300,000 or detention.”
Even if the other party started the altercation, the difficulty of isolating a single act of violence means that both parties are often held responsible.[Source]

It's surprising how Japan doesn't have a law for acid attacks where's they have a lot of cases for it. Knowing Japan they wanted to solve it under the rug.

The scar could have been changed to something different and still not affect the basic story majorly.
Nonsense.
Those comments are referring to JUST this current chapter
The injury was introduced in just this chapter. And some of those comments, including the one to which I responded, expressed surprise at a flashback that effected a dramatic tonal shift.
Re-read chapter 2 and tell me Mikoto filling the glass to the brim isn't supposed to be levity. chapter 3 and tell me that Takase's interactions with the class president isn't supposed to be funny. Re-read chapter 4 and tell me that Mikoto's reactions aren't drawn in a comedic fashion. Re-read chapter 5 and tell me that them acting childish together isn't supposed to be cute and heart-warming.
Not all attempts at comedy are comedy.

It simply isn't worth anyone's time to get a person lacking empathy to see that something fails as comedy because of its lack of empathy. You're in that share of the audience who weren't increasingly disgusted with the MMC. 🤷

But, for one reason or another, the writer came to realize that he was losing or would lose too much of his audience if he didn't make some significant change; hence the retcon.

Maaan I don't want to have to migrate to 30 different websites or worse, to create a discord account.
I hope you'll change your mind about leaving this site.
Regardless, thank you for the scanlations! You do quality work so I hope you wont get too discouraged.

Nonargument. I accept your concession.

You conveniently ignored my points which were: COMMENTS ARE USUALLY FOCUSED ON WHAT HAPPENS ON A CHAPTER PER CHAPTER BASIS SO IT IS HARD TO JUDGE HOW IMPACTFUL IT IT IS ON IT'S OWN and; THE SCAR ISN'T THE REASON WHY PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THE MAIN FEMALE LEAD, IT IS HER ATTITTUDE!
Not all attempts at comedy are comedy.
This statement right here is proof that you are disingenious. I point out comedic aspects of this ROM-COM (LOOK AT THE TAGS) and all you can reply with is, "nuh uh".

Oh look at you, we've got a bleeding heart over here. Just because YOU don't find the comedic aspects of this manga funny, doesn't make it a comedy. Also, just because something is funny, doesn't mean you can't SYMPATHISE with the characters. (The word you are looking for is sympathy. Empathy is more about feeling their feelings. Unless you are saying you've been in a similar situation as the characters).

Anyways, it is clear that you are set in your ways and just want to lecture others rather than listen to people's points. Otherwise you would've used actual evidence rather than base your argumentation on feelings.

Calling that a concession is infra-sophistry.

Those points were an attempt to change the subject; I simply returned to the actual issue.

No, it's a simple fact that an attempt at X is not automatically X.

Don't pseudo-quote me. My response isn't disingenuous; it's a refusal to do the work to overcome your lack of empathy. To the extent that you found the earlier chapters comedic, you are psychopathic or sociopathic. I cannot do much about that. 🤷

QED.

Not at all; my first comment on this issue was brief, not a lecture; my subsequent comments have engaged you minimally, and been shorter than yours.

Just because you can't argue against my point, doesn't make it a logical fallacy.

That's a dodge if I ever seen one.

You haven't proven that it isn't a comedy while I presented both chapter examples and used the tag system to prove that it is.

It isn't disingenious eh, then why resort to calling me nonempathetic? Why use ad hominen to discredit my character rather than my point
This only came about because you started with the grandstanding and ad hominen attacks. See:
It simply isn't worth anyone's time to get a person lacking empathy to see that something fails as comedy because of its lack of empathy. You're in that share of the audience who weren't increasingly disgusted with the MMC. 🤷
Before this, I did not make one character judgement of you because I wanted a civil discussion. I thought I could understand where you're coming from, but clearly you weren't looking for civil discussion. Why else would you attack my character?

Just because you write less words doesn't mean you don't want to lecture others. A lecture is one-way communication. Someone listens, someone speaks. I wanted an actual converstation, two way communication. The fact you claimed to engage me minimally shows that you did not want a two way discussion. You wanted to preach your truth and make others listen.

What makes it a fallacy is that it is a non-sequitir; what makes it infra-sophistic is that it is in willful attempt to mislead.
That's a dodge if I ever seen one.
No, the dodge is in your trying to steer away from the point that the comments express surprise at the retcon, in illustratiion of the point that it's a retcon.
You haven't proven that it isn't a comedy
Exactl because I see no point in trying to overcome your disorder.
I presented both chapter examples
Your examples proved attempt.
the tag system
The tag system simply demonstrates that someone believed that it was comedy.
why resort to calling me nonempathetic?
Because your lack of empathy is why you didn't recognize the motivation for the retcon, because that lack of recognition in turn played a role in your recognizing the retcon as such (the other problem being that you really didn't know the scope of “retcon”), and because your lack of empathy is why I don't worry about changing your mind.
Why use ad hominen to discredit my character rather than my point
The point wasn't to discredit your character; the point was to answer you. If a color-blind person insists that no difference can be found between red and green, part of the response is to note his impairment.
This only came about because you started with the grandstanding and ad hominen attacks.
No, it came-about because you magically think think that if no one pointed-out the simple truth about those earlier chapters and your reaction to them, then you'd be just fine.
I did not make one character judgement of you because I wanted a civil discussion.
Oh, I don't know what judgment you made, but you surely made one; what you didn't do was to express that judgment. But you decided to play a game of brinksmanship about your character in finding amusement in the suffering of a character, and IDGaF about offending you.
Just because you write less words doesn't mean you don't want to lecture others.
Your mistaken hypothesis lacks evidence.
A lecture is one-way communication.
That's not all that a lecture is. And I have very little interest in communicating with you at all, exactly for the reason that you pushed me to give and then so infuriated you.
You wanted to preach your truth and make others listen.
No, I wanted to answer and did answer the query by another commentator about why the scar was suddenly introduced out-of-the-blue.

It is clear that we won't agree on anything. You are too prideful to admit fault and are just replying for the sake of ego. There is no point in continuing this.

As the credit page states, it's been a good ride with Mangadex but we are pulling out.
It hurt so much when I saw over 40 chapters that we've worked so hard on, just get Thanos snapped away. this series survived but who knows for how much longer. So we are moving to comick for the time being. Uploads will also be available on reddit on r/manga.

Oh yeah, btw fuck Kakao, greedy fucks
That’s a CYOA clause. Nothing has changed. They took down OPM when it was DMCAd like they had to for survival, just like they did this time, only this time it was a massive DMCA spanning multiple series at once.

The readers who will never pay a cent for their entertainment are probably already using unscrupulous aggregators that allow official release piracy and defend themselves by switching domains over and over again. Switching from MangaDex to the next moderated-yet-permissive site will only delay so long, if the lawyers are motivated enough.

Most scanlator groups drop series that get official releases, either when the official release is announced, first comes out, or catches up or even suddenly surpasses their progress. That’s normal, if the intent is to make people be able to read a series they love in a language more people know than Japanese. The sad part is how terrible some localizations are. Continuing on, or straight piracy, in such cases is morally, if not legally justified. Fuck the localizers who take glee in changing things to suit their own narratives and preferences. Piracy, or ignoring DMCA, can’t happen here, to protect the rest of the series that go unnoticed or willfully ignored.

I heard some series in the takedown have no official release, and unless one is planned in the near future, the companies do this at their own folly. It lowers their access to market research, to stifle their chance to grow a potential audience effortlessly, to find motivated fans who will buy content from Japan to support the series and author, and will generally push people towards the content of more permissive companies and towards those sites that hide from DMCA by switching domains.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

A retcon doesn't have to be a flat contradiction. Nothing in this story has denied that one of the characters is a child of Zeus; but if such a declaration is later made as if others have always known, that will be a major retcon.

This story suddenly had an element presented that, in a plausible telling, would have come much sooner, and would have been associated with the injury rather than with the start of high school.
So you’re making up bullshit, and there was no actual retcon. Thanks for finally telling us your real answer.

No, there was an actual retcon, but some people don't even know what “retcon” means. (I quoted a proper dictionary.) In particular, a retcon doesn't typically introduce a contradiction (as one fool claimed), though it often attempts to resolve a contradiction.
