OK, Hozue is awful but she didn't do anything as awful as we probably anticipated. I guess this might make the redemption arc just about tolerable.

 

[ErikaSheltear]

Wait, so she’s not responsible as to why Koharu stopped going to school? Doesmt seem like she did anything else besides publicly turn down her present and unfriended her.

I forgot to mention, but I love how Koharu looks in the first page.

 

[MagnaDrake]

Despite everything Hozue did to her, Koharu still tried to mend their relationship, up until their final friction at the highschool announcement.

Koharu is strong.

Reminder you can still feel bad for an asshole.

She's partially responsible. Hozue basically excommunicated Koharu with zero explanation. Getting your closest friendship broken can and will take a toll to your mental health, especially if youre a socially awkward middle schooler.
Based on previous flashbacks also, I'm guessing Hozue's two followers did some bullying/harassment to Koharu. Then Koharu just completely broke after the highschool entrance exam.

Nah can we kill this bitch real quick?

Thanks for the chapter.

Enough of Hozue, this teacher is great. No extra work after being done, you don't even have to help the others. Just you, your free time and the computer.

all she need is a lesbian sex

What exactly did people expect from this kind of story ? This is a light heart story not mess up like other bully stories.
What happened in her past ? Because is this enough to make mc quit school ? I feel like something missing or this is it.

 

[booterror]

Nah she can still get fucked. Shes a chump.

As someone who had a horrible school experience, I have very little sympathy here.

 

[Hadski]

Nah man, NAH! you don't fucking deserve Koharu

 

[Rafalga]

So the real reason is still not shown. She has started taking long breaks from school unbeknownst to this bitch so we are still not introduced to the real culprit. This doesn't, in any shape or form, lighten the bitch's involvement however.

 

[Tic_tac_potato]

Nah screw redemption arc's, I'm lowk jumping this girl😭😭😭

 

[ItsTikki]

Aw man, the feeling of wanting to feel "better" than your peers, It's so relatable and cringe. I'm excited to see how things turn out.

Thanks for the speedy tls!

She didn't quit in middle school, she quit later after she got harassed by those jealous that she was friends with a hot dude. Losing her friend and being ostracized before sure didn't help though.

To answer the big question of why Koharu stopped going to school and socially withdrew, probably nothing specific. Oh sure there were events and things that happened, but as we saw there was stuff independent from Hozue that are unseen so it couldn't have been her and bullying lackies feels like a stretched cope since it would've been mentioned. It was likely a snowball of things, but ultimately(and what trips people up and why they can't fathom or lacth on to things) is that Koharu just stopped even trying to interact which the narrative has made EXPLICITLY CLEAR was the ultimate factor and problem.

The WHY is clearly insignificant and irrelevant and the main point I'm seeing here and what trips people up is that at the end of the day it's up to YOU to make these changes and most importantly THE EFFORT TO INTERACT AND CONNECT with people and stop making excuses for why you're not even bothering to do the bare minimum. If you've Magus of the Library it's the same things Sedona and Master Ganan tell Theo, it's scary and hard and probably hurts sometimes but if you don't power through and do something you're going to STAY alone and blaming "insert any number of excuses" is just you passing the buck for your lack of effort.
