By Spring - Vol. 3 Ch. 18 - You reap what you sow

[Spiryts]

Oh boy, author fail really hard while forcing this BS drama, when some other guys talking about geting a prostitute, no one give a F, but when one girl say the a poor boy get a prostitute. then everyone immediately believe it that, yeah right, just wonder if author is a fan of domekano shit, because this forced drama looks too similar.

@Spyrits mob mindset and bullying the weakest were always a thing. What happened here was already foreshadowed in the first chapters when Yuri snapped and told a bunch of guys that the rumors were true and that there was a boy from the school who bought her, there's also the scene where mom almost snapped at Souta in chapter 4, so to call it forced is overkilling it. There were signs that shit was gonna go south for the MC since the beginning, also that school as a whole is a hivemind that orbits around the school idol, so if somebody does something offensive to her, he's doomed. It's not about him "buying prostitutes" or not. In the end, it's all about him being the ugly duckling of the school and not being like the other beta orbiters.

It ain't the same bragging about banging a whore with the people you trust and can keep a secret, with being socially killed by a scorned bitch that everyone in school beta orbits around her with baseless rumors even teachers don't buy it. And given Souta has no friends there, he, and us saw this coming.

Man shes giving him the face that hes the same type of scum that buys her

Please let karma hit that girl

@jak not sure if it would be rape if shes prostituting herself my guess is her dad was someone she dated got her pregnant and left her for a prostitute

@LordTrollbias I'm scared what home life will turn into when I think he will no longer be his moms sweet little angel but the filthy spawn of his father. Hes definitely going to get hell at home and at school.

@Tamerlane We gave too much credit for the author.....😆😆
Apparently black n white chars are better accepted by readers....(n prob easier to develop as well)...

 

[Arosntha]

Time for some good ol' Japanese psychological abuse

 

[WhisCalifa69]

Quick reminder just in case: authresses are good with delivering cliffhangers and then subverting expectations in the next chapter (Chap 5. cliffhanger, Chaps 9-10 cliffhanger, Chap 16 cliffhanger).

We're possibly overblowing the suffering part too much. There was build up for shit going straight to hell, but those moments were quickly dampened.

Cliffhangers are there to just generate hype. We're possibly in for flashbacks and Fumi going helicopter mama with slight emotional incest, but not going full Chi no Wadachi levels of despair. Teacher will express his doubts and finally put two and two, im positive.

Maybe i'm being way too optimistic.

@XNovalX Um it was MC Fault if u look back in a few chapters or better yet check my comment at the Chapter 17 because it all make sense. But that doesn't Yuri didnt have to bring up the whole class to tell about it so in other words both arent great in simple terms.

 

[Remy88Lebeau]

Oh man that look from his mom. Also how could he look at that B in a positive light. She started the rumor and then told where you eat. If after this chapter he still sees her in a favorable light, he is a bona fide idiot...idc how old he is.

 

[WhisCalifa69]

@Remy88Lebeau he's 14 and is kinda retarded, both social and emotionally due to how he was raised. He's that extremely naive.

 

[GTX1080Ti]

I imagine he will apologise to Yuri which would make it even worse. But something tells me his mom might just drop him out of school instead.

Her look was like "now you've done it". This guy was literally breeded like a beta.

 

[WhisCalifa69]

@GTX1080Ti hopefully, if he apologizes, he also makes things clear with Yuri that he only wants to be friends with her bc he loves somebody else...

Spoiler

...after that, the next day, a couple of corpses are found under kasuga bridge. They seem to be brutally and repeatedly stabbed in different sections of their bodies. The female one shows signs of being brutally ravaged in a sexual way.

 

[KochengOren]

Apologise to Yuri? She is down right evil man. You felt betrayed, and then turn the whole school against him?
You don't know how he felt, if you never in the same position, as poor as him, can't stand up against anything.

 

[NGOtaku]

rip my mans

 

[Dark_Tifanny69]

Oh gawd no. Poor miura, all he wanted was a nice relationship. Now he supposedly broke the heart of a snobby bitch with a superiority complex. Now's he suffering consequences he doesn't even deserve.

R.I.P.
HERE LIES MIURA'S DIGNITY AND SENSE SELF-WORTH.

 

[WhisCalifa69]

Next chapter will give mixed opinions about Fumi's character and her reasons for being like she is... and a light of hope for Souta might be turned on.

@Dark_Tifanny69 if you knew how bad things will become before they turn good.

 

[GuitarLegend]

@WhisCalifa69 I don't see that light anywhere hahaha XD Give us a few hours to post the chapter

 

[lazserbqaz]

Should Haru rescue Souta from his hell ASAP or at least be his light?

Seems the only way out for the both of them is to “force the issue” although it could cost Haru her whole school life, and Souta could be outright targetted by society..

 

[WhisCalifa69]

@lazserbqaz Souta already lampshaded the "light" part in ch. 16 (he said a really cheesy line there).

Even though somebody attempts at force the issue, how would it work? Teacher only has suspicions, but can't act bc he still has no solid evidence other than Souta's bullying, and even if that's the case, he can be at disadvantage bc Yuri status will make higher ups believe her over a teacher. Haru is at clear disadvantage, as Fumi will for sure tight her leash on Souta and rat Haru out if they meet... and don't forget Yuri. She's the most popular bitch at school, i can bet even higher ups obey what she says and her family seems to be the respectable type, cops would believe her in an instant if she rats Haru out when they meet face to face.
And don't forget Matoba.

 

[lazserbqaz]

@WhisCalifa69

So, Souta used up all his chances back in chapter 16?

I thought of other ways, but I agree that the two of them will be ratted out...It’s just the authors seem to break down Souta to show some type of bad culture here in Japan(I live here for almost 10 years straight) and has seen tons of issues myself not seen on tv.

It may be a bad idea if Haru sneeks and and hides Souta away from everyone, “they do it” and move away to something peaceful; because Haru is near 18(or is she?) and Souta is mere 14 and the police are like (fill in the blanks)...

I guess I’ll wait for more chapters if that’s the case since I started reading this, and to confirm my guesses.
