Shizuka really got done dirty here


Both Chigusa and Ren are trash ass kids, and yes Ren that was 100% in your head cause not once did she ever say that she was into you, you made that assumption all on your own

I dunno - the fact that Kusunoki seemingly learned nothing from that incident, and behaves around Keisuke exactly as she did around Ren while ...I guess being surprised that history might be repeating itself, doesn't really fill me with confidence that this won't devolve into more of the standard formulae of romcoms.
I find it difficult to believe that she seemingly just isolated herself all throughout middle school and devoted zero time or effort in trying to figure out what went wrong. Even if she thinks it was her fault (laughable, but whatever), lacking the level of introspection to simply question the events and think about how to do better, just doesn't make sense to me - even if she was just entering adolescence.
We are shown she's an intelligent girl who actually is capable of analysis after the fact, so just being told "oh and then she went on for several years as an isolated otaku with zero friends" only to be pretty much the same person, developmentally, come 1st year in high school just....feels super forced for the sake of narrative.

But I just feel bad for Otobe in all of this. She did her due diligence and asked to make certain that she wouldn't be stepping on Kusunoki's toes if she went after Keisuke - and Kusunoki parroted the same line about "not getting romance".
So if she's worried about all of this now, that kinda indicates she does know that Keisuke has feelings for her, because why else would this even come up for her? Except she spent all that time denying it, and hanging onto him in the same way she did in this flashback, and thus the fallout is kinda her fault, this time, by way of not being proactive.
you underestimated trauma.

Classic "I hurt them", when it's the opposite 😐

Also, it's weird how she now decides to hold back her friend said that, because neither of them has the right to decide who he ultimately likes, almost makes it look like the person says "Okay, so you like him, fine you can take him", it do be icky
Same can be said about the brat lol. He acted with such confidence that she liked him, and thought that all he needed to do was take of the "nuisance" between them.

Also hypocritical to act like both sides don't do that. It happens in mixers all the time. Someone calls dibs on who they like and try to pursue them. No one was invalidating him, he was just on his high horse and got knocked down lmao.

I am anti-snake bitch but ngl some part of me thinks snake-bitch romance would make for a more interesting manga
Nah not really it'd be annoying as those shitty mangas where the heroine is a complete cunt but gets her way all the time and the MC is just a little bitch that goes along with it because plot.

It's basically for plot manga readers with no self-esteem or boundaries thinking it's "interesting".

1. Japanese school bullying is vicious. She got traumatised by it and she was growth stunted on this particular matter.
2. Do people expect traumatised middle schoolers to do psychoanalysis on themselves and others and pull themselves up by their bootstraps?
3. Now the situation presents itself, Kusunoki has a chance to overcome this trauma and grow.

Good Old Japanese Public Ostracization Over Rumors !!

I swear, it's like 99% of the Anime Mob Population are just waiting on stand-by to just exclude anybody over anything !!

"Hey, I heard that guy once colored the sky on his drawing with a slightly darker blue... LET'S EXCLUDE HIM SOCIALLY !!!"

This type of thing seems implausible until you actually experience it in real life. Sometimes it feels like 50% of people are factually insane and lack empathy. And then another 50% will just go along to get along once the crazies set the tone.
