tbf, crowd judgement can be absolutely crushing and stressful. Most people wouldn't be able to completely look past it anyway. The desire to blend in and be a part of the larger group is one of the core instinct of human after all, the feeling of being an outcast or got selected and target out is pretty scary to most peopleAt this day and age, why even bother what anyone thinks with your life choice?
It's not them living your life, it's you.
Also, why does it feel like page 3 and 4 are missing something in between? Then comes page 23 with broken glass. My brain is confused.
This is clearly all just an intro to a loooong Tenjin arc, that they'll solve first (maybe Akari will even work through her feelings for him again) before solving the "fight" between her and Jirou. It's not a fun point, but a point nonetheless. Bet Shiori gets exhumed as well before the end of the story. I'm in for it allBefore anyone calls this pointless bs drama, its NOT.
Not only should this lead to good development but also... this is such a couple "fight". seeing this is super sweet in a way
