She said that was from a competition "a few years ago". That girl is older than him now. We already know her.

I mean, getting some drama into the story for the sake of whatever is fine, really. But it's so fucking badly done that it's insulting. We're getting the same lame "going away forever but actually not" trope twice in very short succession and now super control freak helicopter mama shows up out of the blue after not being the least bit relevant for 45 chapters and because that is not enough, sudden arranged marriage. Not just did the author completely change the tone of the manga after 30 chapters, he is doing it in such a stupid way that I can't even see how any of his readers can like this except for those who just love to see the wreckage burn.
Really makes me wonder why the author went this way. Were the popularity rankings so bad that he tried to change the concept in hope of avoiding to get axed? Did the author just get into mental health issues (seen that happen before)? Was this planned? I'd really like to know.
