i really enjoyed getting this little peek into her past! old mariko is the best, but it's interesting to learn more about how she got where she is now like this
uguisudani: likes a boy because "he doesn't have bad intentions"
uguisudani: invites her rival to a date
uguisudani: "lets show mc how much prettier and better dressed i am than her"
uguisudani: helps mc out instead
uguisudani: gives up on all her plots when she realizes mc is nice and that she...
rereading and i love heeeeerrrrr
uguisudani is such a fun character. she really sees herself as some kind of mastermind manipulator, meanwhile her sinister plots are... talking nicely to her rival to find out what's going on, and running cutely in PE. oooh, scary...! what a cruel and evil mind...
I'd never follow someone unknown on a hike, but that's simply me being awkward. Taking shelter from the rain together with a stranger and sharing food and drink with them sounds nice though! Fellow hikers have got to take care of each other after all
Pierre-san really is such a brightly shining gem that's been hidden in the mall...! I really hope the fashion show works out well for them, or at least gives them a sense of having tried their best while actually enjoying the process
Chouko really is such a complicated person - it's so refreshing to get this kind character in the shape of an old lady! I love her. This manga supports women's rights and women's wrongs ❤
A bit surprised at the other comments, I honestly loved how this story played out ^^'
It's messy and bittersweet, and the way things were left halfway unresolved feels real and honest to the characters. That being said, I'm looking forward to seeing how things develop in the sequel!
