To be honest that opening felt a bit too rushed. The socially stunted MC who spent at least 20 years not being able to talk to strangers then suddenly able to give a speech where she owns the jealous girl and everyone claps? That feels too easy. The speech fit her chatacterisation (awkward, earnest and out of touch) but everyone's reply to the speech was way, WAY too positive. During highschool she was isolated to the point that she became a hikki. There is no way that a class that creates that type of environment would also turn around and unreservedly support the loser MC like that. It feels like wish-fulfillment at that point.

I am totally fine with the class choosing her as the rep, as she was the person who stood out the most.

tbh i kinda agree, i don’t really have a problem with the speech or her becoming class rep but having everybody clap after the speech was kinda crazy especially with the negative connotation the three words “and everyone clapped” has, though that idea as a whole is probably more western

i think it recovers okay after this point though, but don’t quote me on that

Ah, sorta sloppy generic start but I'm digging how she's able to reflect and try to improve. I'll keep reading ig

Dialogue was a bit weird in the class case.
She said the thing was aimed to her, but the chuuni pick was posted by herself to make clear many kidshad a weird phase.
The fat picture being taken like that from everybody, I'm all for being fit instead of obese, but damn, it was like they had posted the kid doing a crime, weird.
Even with japan culture not praising people that let themselves go it was a strange read.

I kinda get the feeling too, sometimes. I look at my parents and suddenly they look old.

bodyshaming someone using their picture in primary school when they were literally kid. such a loser move that only after you have run out of moves do you consider this with strong dislike.
