I doubt the presumably part time job at the cafe pays anywhere near as well, even if we include the doubled income from them both working, and it's best to not to eliminate your main income source on the basis of counting on Makiro being able to hold down a job. I would guess that the cafe also...

I think only a couple of people in this thread have actually said things like this, while there are more of us discussing other aspects of the story like character motivations or plot speculation (which is, in fact, the point of a chapter discussion thread) or else questioning how it would work...

I mostly just like talking about series I'm following, so you're fine there and I wasn't meaning to express disagreement or anything. I expect that it will be taken seriously, but only in a manga fashion where the mental health issue leads to the person being extra nice and considerate to you...

It does seem like it contributed, not because of the sexual nature, but because of her essentially playing out a lovable alter ego who is much more together than she actually is and beloved by many. She did this in the tutoring and even in her personal life to an extent, but there's still more...

"I need to get my 10 hours of sleep", quality "me irl" moment. Of course how much sleep you need comes down to genetics and health issues, or at least this is what I tell myself every day to make myself feel better. I also liked that they acknowledged that it's not purely a willpower thing...

I feel like you are making this overly personal. I am responding to you, not "us". You are phrasing this like your opinion is the natural result someone who has experienced relationship abuse would have, without asking if I have ever experienced it myself. Therefore I am feeling pretty...

My argument has been that Kokoro's character is written to believe she is doing all these nurturing things and Kokoro's choices could be made to seem to be doing those things with different framing, not that she is actually 100% the same as those characters and there is no difference between any...

A lot of this would be framed as romantic in other works, eg, being jealous shows they love the person, pursuing them is being passionate, being controlling shows they care enough to want to protect the person, etc. I have a hard time thinking you've never seen any romance structured like this...

And now, my friends, feel free to share speculation about Naoi's future career. I am going with her either becoming a cult leader or gaining complete control of the yakuza. I'm glad we got a panel of Naoi grabbing Kurumi, as I was going into withdrawal last chapter. Kokoro's panel was no...

It seems like the parents have crossed the moral event horizon and we're getting a "disowning the gay daughters" arc, except both kids should now be fine without them. Mashiro should have at least one job remaining, enough to pay rent, and Makino would probably be motivated enough to work part...

I think it would be interesting if the head fisherman were either some kind of disgraced noble or the servant of one. That would explain why he's able to live freely despite being high level, which from what we've seen would not simply be recruited but would be targeted and 'managed' as a...

I doubt he does, but it's as Yajin says - co conspirators, not friends. If the kid has to choose between himself and Yajin, he will choose himself. This is rightly so, as from his perspective Yajin is a sketchy drifter with a knack for violence. That is not the type of person you put yourself on...

Thinking about this, it would be kind of interesting if Naoi calls her out for the idealized version and pushing her expectations on Kurumi and this actually gets her to reflect and figure out how to support Kurumi. Naturally only after a sufficient number of chapters of drama and Kokoro making...

I think it's safe to say she doesn't know still. She is blaming Naoi for anything that she doesn't know the source of harm and to be fair the injuries are actually from Naoi, so there's no reason to conclude that she got Kurumi's mom to pull a knife on her. If she's had any interactions with the...

It's more that they hide when they feel bad because showing weakness as a cat in the wild is very dangerous. Roughly the same reason they bury their poop/urine (unless they're trying to make a power move as a statement) and some try to bury their food dishes after eating - they don't want...

MC (main character): you are garbage and I'm c-c-c-razy, all I want is money to buy female escorts and to laze around rich heterosexual marriage candidate: iNteRsbesTinG

I think maybe we could argue that her initial frustration with having to check on Naoi and complaining out loud was kind of a rejection of, if not school rules, her role as an upstanding student who teachers can count on for things like that. It definitely was revealing about what the author...

That all makes sense. To me then, I think it makes sense that the first thing she considers isn't something that's a direct rejection of her mother, but rather a direct rejection of the 'character' she created. It's abundantly clear she's not ready to go against their dynamic in any way or to...

The reason why I thought you didn't understand is because, if you are understanding, then you seem to essentially be proposing that the character have an entirely different personality, motivation, and relationship with her parent, rather than just asking for the scene to be reframed. In this...

Wanting to steal the eraser, even though she could have bought it (and did), wasn't because she wanted something and was willing to resort to stealing, but because she feels burdened by the facade of perfection and wished she could do something 'bad' to be free of it for even a moment. The fact...
