It's okay. Sometimes I let chapters pile up because I hate being drip fed story.
It's good that went to jail but what exactly was her crime. Tachibana may have planned the whole thing but it was Kondo, Eri and Miyuki that actually did everything. Kondo went to Juvie because he was the one who defamed, attacked and harassed Eiji. Tachibana just sent Kondo to Eri and Miyuki. So what was the crime Tachibana actually went to jail for?
Umm... I think most people would rage seeing NTR in their manga. Something about having a good girl be stolen and corrupted by a total piece of shit would enrage the common person.
If I remember, she tried to silence Eri (Eri finally got proactive after Endou send her that picture of Kondo with Miyuki.....wearing a Necklace that she gave that POS the day they "became official" as in the day he corrupted her into betraying Endou and became HIS woman! Eri KNEW he was seeing other girls, and it hurt her, but he "always came back" so she CONVINCED herself that meant something....it was seeing her GIFT re-gift like that on Miyuki that finally cemented it once in for all that there was NOTHING deeper about Kondo! Kondo got some of these girls thinking he's a "Jerk with a Heart of Gold" but what Ai and ESEPCIALLY Tachibana who in her case is the SAME can see is what he truly is "A Jerk with a Heart of JERK! He's an assshole with NO REDEEMING QUALITIES! There is little to NO good in him and YES these types exist! Trying hard to make you THINK they have something REDEEMING just so they can continue to exploit or take advantage! They are right in a way for you being a FOOL as there is a POINT before you have to accept that "someone is a POS, and in Eri's case, she ENTRAPPED herself in this loop! I mean I don't hold it against Endou to fucking ignore her when in High School she TRIED to reconnect after what she did and similar to Miyuki ONLY because things didn't work out for her, hell during that time after Kondo DUMPED HER and fucked up, she STRUGGLED to get into High School while Kondo got in just fine just to show if it wasn't already shown how much his VICTIMS suffering mean NOTHING to him! Just a reminder once his SUFFERING starts and that should be incoming in the Manga! He deserves FAR WORSE yes, but either way HE DESERVES WHAT HE'S GETTING. But Eri didn't even THINK of Endou the whole time, she TRULY treated their relationship before like it meant NOTHING, then at her lowest she thought he'd be WAITING and she would RECONNECT just like that! It was like an INSULT to what they use to have! Like that TRAITOR FRIEND who dumped you as a Loser, but the second you get famous, SUDDENLY you're childhood friends again and NOT as they said "an eyesore they felt FORCED onto them till they finally DUMPED YOU cause instead of "Drifting apart" they have to be dramatic and MAIN CHARACTER SYNDROME about it!! Instead of STICKING to ATONING after Endou gave her a BURNING HOT SHOULDER, realizing she had to make up for her bad actions, she just ran back to Kondo to beg him to take her back! ) I don't need to tell you the MEANING behind "silence" now do I!
Kind of sad seeing how her life fell apart all because she gave Kondo an Ear, she lost EVERYONE, and after the Picture, well she was ACTUALLY considering Suicide to escape the FAILURE of her life she let that POS drive her to! Thankfully she finally had a SECOND WIND Mentally/Spritually to realize she just can't DIE yet and let KONDO live on knowing he will move on from her death and not feel ANYTHING from it! She had to teach him a LESSON for fucking with her! This is what lead to her involvement in the main plot! I'm sure Tachibana was a HUGE WTF to her! Namely in that Kondo only targeted her because Tachibana OF ALL PEOPLE! And all because she wanted to be seen as the SMARTEST in their year! It's still ABIT of Eri's fault for falling for Kondo's whims! Again with Miyuki, his bad behavior SHOWED OFTEN but like her, it's only when that NASTINESS is directed at THEM do they realize this was his nature and it's their OWN FAULT for ignoring the OBVIOUS Red Flags that WERE NOTICABLE but they chose to ignore it!) It's likely also the same with Eiji once he discovers her involvement, he couldn't believe his Sempai did all of this to hurt him and for PETTY AND Super Petty Reasons
Hell Endou had a moment of HESTIATION when he was going to send the two pictures to the girls, before he's rage at Eri's past actions and STILL BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THE POS and Miyuki in his eyes "being Eri 2.0" in what she did to Eiji that made him shake that hestiation and send it to them. The point was to destroy Kondo's SUPPORT PILLARS as without the girls, AND the Soccer Club he already dismantled by turning them all on each other! Kondo was alone and had no one to bail him out! At this point Endou is unaware of Tachibana, he SUSPECTS her existance as the 'one behind Kondo" but isn't aware of her identity at this point!

It's more the behavior changes and how much BULLSHIT the story writer allows in order for the plot to work that drives me nuts with "That Genre!"
Interestingly there is a WHAT IF to be had here
Tachibana had gotten over herself or been more pragmatic, AKA she JUST LET EIJI BECOMING A NOVELIST BEFORE HER GO AND JUST CONGRATULATED HIM FOR HIS ACCOMPLISHMENT like a GOOD SEMPAI would!
Pros
- Miyuki and Eiji never break up, or Eiji goes through ANY of the shit he was forced to go through. And sadly that's about IT on Pros to be honest
-------
Cons
Sadly this means the fate of the SACRED MAIN STORY was needed for EVERYONE'S SAKE! And lets be real, even if Eiji is happy now, especially with Ai. Everything with Miyuki will always be a hole in his heart even Ai can't fill....but maybe in the far FAR future after much Atonement, he and Miyuki can try again.....as FRIENDS that is! And if that happens, Miyuki will have to always WATCH he and Ai's happiness from the FRIEND Distance (though hopefully at that point, it won't hurt AS BAD because she's accepted this fate was her own damn fault and she has no one to blame for it! At best she should be happy for Eiji at least
And I'm unaware but hope Eri and Endou can PROPERLY put the past behind them and move on after reconciling (Friendship isn't even an OPTION! But Endou can FINALLY completely smother that rage he had since he betrayel, and Eri can take her first step to atone! First attempt failed because they BOTH knew Eri wasn't the LEAST BIT SORRY OR REGRETFUL for what she did and said that ended their friendship! She cannot fully blame Kondo for that, it was her own foolishiness & Entitlement that brought about the WORST in her! Kondo only had to be a WHISPER and even after he made a fool of her, she DARED to try to cling back to Endou without even a HINT that she was going to atone....even had Endou been DESPERATE and forgave, you KNOW without a TRUE apology and atonement, Kondo if he was feeling BORED would leave a CHANCE he might take her back and she'd betray him AGAIN because in her heart as shown when she RAN BACK to him after Endou rejected her that what she felt about Endou TRULY was still there and she was clinging to someone she KNEW, someone who was SAFE for her own selfishness (the same thing effecting Miyuki at the moment, she has YET to fully accept WHAT she did wrong, but in time she WILL realize it!)

-------
Cons
- There is a HUGE Maybe that the possibility Miyuki WOULD cheat being there! Her weakness to Kondo and Peer Pressure means it's only a MATTER OF TIME before an event like KONDO happened
- Eri will never be free, because Kondo never went after Eiji, Endou never had to step in! And Eri remains ever a fool till the inevitable happened....she graduates, and remains the POS Thrall till she ends up homeless and destitute! You can guess that will be when the POS completely abandons her.
- Tachi swallowed her pride ONCE, nothing's saying she'll keep doing it and will might try her stunt on some other unfortunate
