Destroy It All And Love Me In Hell! - Vol. 3 Ch. 12 - A Promise

As if Naoi would've stood you up. Have some faith!

Also wtf kinda games is this girl playing? Playing some 3D chess just to score a date.

 

[WolfenLady]

Trash school, trash students, trash teacher. No wonder Naori was skipping, no wonder MC wanted to be done with this bullshit 🤦🏽‍♀️

Summer vacation looks like it's leading to major relationship changes all around.

Kurumi's going through serious development. She's being more observant of others and their motives. She's being more assertive in her interactions with other people. And she's experiencing new feelings, like when it looked like she was tearing up when she thought that Naoi stood her up on their date. I think we're getting Naoi's backstory soon since Kurumi saw Naoi's dad abusing her. I guess he really doesn't work if he's shaking down his own daughter for money. Naoi was trying really hard to get away from him so that she could have her date with Kurumi. She was probably worried her dad destroyed her chances and that Kurumi wouldn't give her a second chance after getting stood up once. But luckily fate had other ideas, so now Kurumi shows up to deepen her relationship with Naoi.

As for the plot with Sensei and Isanuma, I'm kind of not 100% sure where it's going. Could Sensei really be dating high school girls? Maybe, but it's also possible the person he was seen with was the red-haired woman from the chapter 11 cover. Maybe she's just someone he doesn't think is socially acceptable to date, because he likes to keep up appearances. But keeping up appearances by agreeing to go on a date with Isanuma is almost certainly going to backfire on him. If the red-haired woman is his girlfriend, she'd dump him for cheating on her, even if he's only agreeing to the date to buy Isanuma's silence about her confrontation with Kurumi in chapter 10. And if they're found out, then he'd almost certainly try to push all of the blame onto Isanuma for suggesting the idea to begin with. He seemed super uncomfortable with her attention this chapter even once Kurumi was out of the room. He's a horrible teacher regardless of what's really going on with his dating life.

Isanuma almost feels like she's getting setup for heatbreak on purpose by Mine. What's Mine's motive? She might be in love with Isanuma and wants to destroy her crush on the teacher. Or maybe even Isanuma's life so that she becomes all Isanuma has left. Kurumi may have just been a convenient pawn in this plot, maybe because Isanuma was jealous of her seeming perfection already. Plus, it would give Isanuma more confidence to do something foolishly reckless by thinking Sensei would accept dating a high schooler. Mine seems to smile around Isanuma when her face is normally hidden. She blushes around her alot too. This might all be a form of twisted love.

And finally Azuma. She's secretly been an important character since chapter 1. There was a ponytail shown when Kurumi was shoplifting. And in chapter 3 Azuma seemed very wary of Naoi. So she might've seen both Kurumi almost shoplifting and Naoi recording the whole thing. In the background we've seen her growing nervousness of Isanuma's increased animosity toward Kurumi. Her increasing isolation from her friends, like when she was left out of karaoke in chapter 8. But she still tried to be a good friend in chapter 10 by trying to stop Isanuma from doing something to get herself in trouble, even though Mine was conveniently nowhere to be seen and did nothing to help. And how Azuma has some choices to make. Mine and quite possibly Isanuma are likely mad at her for telling Sensei about Isanuma bullying Kurumi. And to make things even worse, she finds out that Mine was a manipulative liar and rumor-monger all along. And then that same liar trying to shame her into silence. Only to take yet another blow when Isanuma turns out to be a hypocrite who happily dates Sensei after treating Kurumi like absolute trash for thinking she did the same. Isanuma's animosity was out of jealousy, not because she looked down on the behavior. But there is hope. Mine doesn't realize that Azuma has a hidden Ace up her sleeve if she chooses to use it. To go to Naoi for help. After all, who better to get evidence than the person she saw filming someone shoplifting? Fight fire with fire.

I love hearing other peoples comments and interpretations though. But thanks for the shout out.

Straight girls love to fall in love with the middest men.

I read this chapter twice but hadn't noticed Kurumi tearing up so I'm glad I read your analysis.

 

[Kanami-chan]

Bitches and whores

 

[ScarecrowB]

Manga sure likes to overuse the "Just apologice to your bully, you don't want to escalate this, do you?"

Just call their bluff, "Of fucking course I do, bring the cops in."

Well, everyone's so used to doormat Kurumi that they didn't expect her to call everyone else out. Though things could get more interesting from here. Kurumi was basically loitering out at night in her school uniform. Possibly could be mistaken for schoolgirl prostitution. And she may have just beaten up Naoi's dad, which I'm sure he'll play the victim if so. So the teacher could be in for a world of headache. There's no way he can hide all of this.

 

[Lustrist]

wtf is this blue archive inspired ass subplot

 

[emmadrew]

With Kurumi living by herself and Naoi's whole situtation, I wonder if we're setting up Naoi moving in with Kurumi

 

[EchoGirl]

i mean, idk how diff it is in japan but for the most part the punishment is left up to the school (tho JP schools/stories are notoriously infamous for looking the other way), but i guess if they're rich enough to afford a lawyer and bring the parents into it as well (although i'm surprised there'd even be time for normal relationships let alone bullying if ppl are trying to pass class but depends on how hard the education lessons are i guess). tho i half expect some backstory of naoi being in the yakuza family or so lol

 

[sebaasdf]

I love Kurumi's dead eyes, goes so well with her design an the manga art style in general

 

[deathpigeon]

Like, this is just kinda what the school system is like. Which is the point of it being employed here since this comic is deeply critical of the school system.

 

[Chikaon]

I didn't expect to get so much focus on the bullies. Tbh I don't really know where the story is going now with the introduction to the bullies' motivations, but I'm intrigued to see how it'll all tie together.

 

[Colonel-Picquart]

Of course the teacher would think to offer a date to buy a student's silence to protect their own reputation. A student, we should add, who he thinks is the full and only victim.
Safeguarding is a foreign concept to him it seems.
Though finally a manga that understands how fucked teacher student relationships are!

 

[Skater901]

I think the wording is kind of off between Isanuma and the teacher when talking about the date. Isanuma saying "in exchange for" makes it sound like the teacher did her a favour, but in thinking about it, I'm pretty sure she did the teacher a favour by letting him keep this quiet from her parents so it won't reflect badly on him, and in return for her letting him keep quiet, she wants a date with him. But it initially sounds like he's done the favour to her, so it's confusing that he's promising a date when he's the one doing the favour.

I had to overthink that to get it to make sense, sheesh.
