Did he get hard at the thought of killing someone?

Yes Reiji, get Mao to regret messing up Nagi’s life while also just walking away from her to have his own happy life without accountability. Another revenge arc that I didn’t expect but I welcome it. Thanks for the translation.

 

[Litreara]

Welp... I don't know how I feel about this. Actually, I know, I feel like this murder-revenge plot is kind of shitty. Mao's death is not a punishment. I think it would be better if Reiji tries to expose him to destroy his life, but it is what it is.

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[Kyrokis]

Glad to see I was right. And now Reiji has found a meaning in life.

That's his inner-Yuko coming out, can't really imagine after what he did to Yuko and Yuri that he'd settle for exposing Mao, and even if he did, then what? Reiji is acting on his anger right now, while a major mistake, I can't imagine he'll actually get to kill Mao, his life would be over.

Wouldn't be surprised if Yuri takes the fall somehow.

 

[unfilteredjw]

Holy. Shit.

 

[Camillionaire]

What the fuck is even happening anymore.

Thanks for the translation!

Reiji is gonna kill Mao, and then what? What does he think is to gain from that?

 

[koihara]

Was there really a need to create a final villain? I don't know, I don't like the direction it's going

He gets to be prison buddies with Gen

Look at his face in the last panel, he had the same look on his face when he was shoving his mom and demanding answers. He's fucking enraged, logic is not even a concept in his head right now likely.

Let's wait and see, can't imagine Reiji will become a muderer.

 

[schifferjack]

Wait who's mao again? Is that Nagi's uncle?

 

[Key_news]

I know this story is mess up but this time I'm looking forward to what Reiji does to Mao, instead of killing him, I want to see Mao's daily life turn into a mess and misery.

Finally, the story becomes fun

I... maybe?

Since you posed the question, I'm reminded of a segment in Sensei's White Lie, where the heroine remarks that she hasn't had a period in the longest while (because, presumably, the life of sexual trauma and the consequent stress that she's had since shortly before the beginning of the narrative). She was also unwittingly building a rapport with one of her homeroom students up to that point, and upon considering that she desired his company (as in, at the point they found themselves kissing for the first time), she found herself menstruating again (that, and/or she experienced a genuine arousal for the first time in a long time, this being signified with the invocation of the idea of menstruation).

It's odd how I've seen this kind of sexual symbolism-- a linkage between reproductive function and will to live/something of that sort-- potentially twice in manga. Certainly, I personally haven't seen this kind of literary device in American stories, and I reckon it's less common.

Reiji is in his "X GON' GIVE IT TO YA" arc of the tragedy manga. Took long enough.

Boutta pull up on Mao like

Alright, I think I'm out. This is just going round and round in circles and I just read it in diagonal anyway. I never think about it when it doesn't pop up in the feed anyway.
