I don’t understand why when it comes to Miyuki that some people are still trying to get ’Sympathy for the Devil’. No matter how much punishment she has endured, SHE DESERVES EVERY BIT OF IT! This was the very evil reality that she was trying to turn Eiji’s life into, only for herself to fall into the grave that she was digging for Eiji! She first lied to and betrayed Eiji… the man who loved her along with his family by her affair. Then when her affair was revealed and she could have chosen to stop the affair, stay with and comfort Eiji after being beaten by Kondo… she chose to abandon him and break his heart calling him a dangerous stalker to his own face! Then to protect her own reputation in school if Eiji exposed the truth, she allowed Kondo to photograph the bruises that Kondo himself had made on her wrist and accused Eiji of causing them while manhandling her! With the exception of Ai, Satoshi and a select few and the school staff, Miyuki had practically turned everyone else in the whole school into Eiji’s enemy with all of the lies that she allowed Kondo to spread! And she could’ve EASILY stopped the mayhem long before the consequences got severe by saying one phrase: “EIJI DIDN’T DO ANY OF THIS, IT’S NOT TRUE!”
But when the school investigation began, Miyuki instead chose to ride the lie until the wheels fell off! She only admitted to the truth of the matter after being cornered by her classmates after the announcement in the school auditorium when the facts and truth of the incident were being revealed and Kondo fled! And the facts were showing that the story that she and Kondo had concocted was a complete lie! But by that time, it’s too late for her to tell the truth about the story and still expect to be treated with mercy!
In my book and honest opinion, the ONLY person who is truly suffering unjustly is Miyuki’s mother… because she had absolutely no knowledge about what Miyuki was doing, but she however is legally still responsible for her daughter as her parent! But she is the only person who deserves mercy!… NOT Miyuki, NOT the soccer club, NOT the kids at school who participated in the mob mentality justice,(including the ones who posted pictures of his family’s restaurant business info on the chalkboard and promoted violence against him and his family), NOT the ones who left death wishes, broken glass and razor blades in his shoe locker… and sure as hell NOT KONDO OR TACHIBANA!!! And may the last two on that list burn in HELL!
