Idk how I should feel about this, but shoutout to the young woman for stepping up for the kid. They both deserve better ngl. Such good souls.

That pain and fearful dread when she crawled to the closet to avoid her brother’s anger, that was tough to see. The multiple panels made it excruciating.

Only because she had managed to crawl there and be spotted by the older girl, the older girl became aware of what she was about to let happen, and decided not to fall victim to the brother’s schemes.

The punch was amazing. The brother was so baffled, that there was someone who would raise a hand against him, as he’s used to being praised and girls served on a platter for him and his friends. With this, he realized how stupid the things he was doing with his friends really was. Maybe he thought he was untouchable as long as he kept up his grades and appearances, and it came crashing down.

I’m glad the girl was finally found. Her entire family focused on the brother’s grades, and not much else. At the dinner table, Maho just exists as something that the brother can be praised for helping, or otherwise a hindrance to his studies.

I think we missed out a clue of context, with the tv somewhat obfuscated, but I can see the largest text on the tv screen is katakana spelling STRESS. I’m guessing over upcoming student exams like the brother’s situation.

I like how the older girl suddenly realized what was going on when she hid from her own mother, seeing as the girl was hiding in the closet from her brother.

I’m glad they showed the parents confronted by authorities. The dad just shrugs off blame by trying to appear too incompetent to blame for the situation, and that they couldn’t be responsible if there were no signs. The mother is just humiliated, saying nothing but hiding her own face, as saving face is what’s important to her.

I found it sad that the older girl still found it in herself to apologize for punching the brother, as if a part of her still feels like what they both endure isn’t completely absurd.

Very tough road ahead for them both, but they know they aren’t alone now.

I love the concept. The execution on the other hand was not as I great as I was hoping but it was still good.
