Good translation but I wish you kept the religious/death symbolism of the phrase you translated as 'awaken', it works but it kinda loses some of the charm, y'know?

I really needed this today. I was having troubles preparing my meal cause the vegetable were too. But this EDGE might just do the trick.

My, this amount of nonsense is just right for a one-shot, I'm not even mad the cause of bullying did not even make sense

Surprised I'm the only one posting about this but has blond really killed mc's angel? There aren't any frames showing him beheading her. Based on what I understood she got punished because she has directly interfered. Well at the very least that's my interpretation.

Him saying "Now you're just like me" also makes more sense in that context.

This seems strange to me cuz blondie experienced a similar level of pain losing his angel, implying at one point in time he was probably a good person too til he lost his angel maybe?

I could even understand the angle of blondie bullying mc cuz he was annoyed by his lack of spine or something but it seems strange to change it up to that he's just a piece of shit in the end instead of actually coming to an understanding with each other. I did like the juxtaposition of their fight taking place in a playground with kids tho.

Remind my of some early one-shots of Fujimoto Tatsuki and Ishiguro Masakazu. His mangas are controversal but they show undeniably talent and bold skills.

calling this kid putting his bully in 50 different jars for god knows how long "justified" is crazy lmao. plus, the fact that blondie didn't get his powers taken away for tormenting the MC for what may have been years is equally crazy. this is just edgelord shit for its own sake

I think it might be a little deeper than just an edgy revenge manga, because MC basically becomes like Sada when he causes suffering a response to his own suffering. "If you're having a rough time, does that make it okay to bully people?" (page 18).

I was somewhat expecting MC, upon knowing that Sada is bullying him for a (flimsy) reason, to somewhat turn the other cheek, but I guess that's tough to ask of the victim so I'm not surprised at his reaction. That's superogatory.

I don't see why everyone dislikes the girl; it's obviously not enough, but any harm from a weak apology stems from her ignorance, not her malice. "No good deed goes unpunished."

(I think if any of them are more deserving of punishment it would be Sada's friends. Not in terms of causality, since if Sada wasn't there the bullying wouldn't have happened or be a lot less, but in the sense that Sada is doing it out of anger, whereas his friends find genuine joy in being malice. Sada reminds me a little of Punpun when (rot13 spoiler) junpxf n thl bire gur urnq jvgu n jbbqra ornz sbe qvfyvxvat uvf sevraqf znatn (bofgrafvoyl vg'f orpnhfr gur thl jnf yvgrevat).

(The fact that Sada is the root cause of MC's bullying more than his friends I think paradoxically makes him less guilty, since Sada "needs" it, whereas for his friends MC's suffering is just a fun diversion in their lives.))
