The bad ending foreshadowing is as stubble like a truck crash.

 

[Araragi_alan]

How horrible and terrifying was that. What a shame they couldn't stop him. Poor Ayano ...

 

[DesertStorm]

That last page is utter perfection and will actually make this manga a hundred times better!

 

[mrboxeater]

why is he shaking lmao

 

[bejad007]

both of them are broken, the impending crashout is subtle yet definitely there. damn, imagine the sex

 

[neozeed]

I love how much of a dope Fumi looks in Minori's imagination. She's great.

 

[Umbrum]

why is he shaking lmao

He's shaken up by confronting an adult man, you never know what to expect from someone who's as beyond of your understanding as a child molester.

Would the guy fight him? would he pull out a knife? did he make a mistake?

A normal person is not used to actual violence and this reaction is fittingly normal, basically he's also scared.

His face

I love that the first and last pages of the chapter somehow ask a question and immediately answer said question: Ayano's question (what he really wants), and it is for someone to stay by his side and make him realize he's worthy.

And the hand-grabbing and the momentary stop... I might be overthinking it, but that panel is amazing. A literal dilemma on whether he should chase after the creep to retrieve the photo (doing the right and "best" option) or stay by her side instead in her time of need (what she truly wants). That in that moment and the meeting, he realised that what truly matters is her well-being.

And what I like about his personality is that in his mind, he felt that he needed to be by her side not because he is a kind guy at heart but because it is his job as a manager to ensure her well-being and fill in the holes that others, like her mother, have left.

A girl for so long had no one to be by her side, and a guy who has an inferiority complex wants to be reliable and helpful despite his indecisiveness.

I love this manga because it has such a bittersweet feeling from their relationship. Two broken people who only need each other by their side.

last page is canon I don't care what anyone thinks.

Man it's a good thing I wasn't in Fumi's shoes. I would've started swinging. Japanese culture is just not for me as a red blooded American. I would've been sued for assault in seeing actual injustice in front of me and started swinging.

Jesus, that guy would be in the hospital if it were me.

Yep...And on top of that, he needs to explain to the higher-ups about a possible scandal brewing on their company's star.

Coupled with the fact that the perpetrator is still roaming free and he already had a scandal involving Ayano under his management, who wouldn't be shaking in fear of losing their job.

After this, her Mother has lost all hopes of redemption in my eyes. I hope the author doesn't bring her in later on and then tries to repair their relationship, a mother who couldn't come to her Daughter's side after such a horrific incident is no Mother at all and can never be one.

 

[Darklight99]

Jesus, that guy would be in the hospital if it were me.

You should know that no person ever has been impressed by keyboard warriors saying what they would've done in such situations.
