Why are shoujo series so... dramatic. I do have to applaud them for creating characters you can hate. A best friend who gave up on someone because of hearsay? An entire class that continues to badmouth someone after they drove her to stop attending school and almost commit suicide. Wowzers. Even if she had kissed the boyfriend, 1) he should be just has hated for going along with it (thought the rumor said she did it twice; at that point it had to be mutual if true), and 2) that really isn’t worth someone never attending school again. Regardless they never wanted to hear what she had to say or even tried to confirm the rumors. Mob mentality isn’t scary, it’s pitiful. 2 chapters in and already the entire school (mainly her class, but those outside involved as well) cast (baring the two main characters) are irredeemable and hated. Gotta give to these shoujo drama series.
