And once again, what garbage friends

It's sad that communication and understanding didn't get across among them as kids. It's easy to label her friends as garbage but I don't think they had malicious intent, they were just being very immature. It never crossed their minds that what they said might be a burden to her and that while she may have a different way of dating, it's fine for her to go at her own pace in her own way. From the impressions we have of her friends they strike me as a group who date like a hobby, its something they do for fun with casual importance. For her though, she wanted to take it seriously while at the same time too not losing the sense of self she's developing. They are in different places and sadly her friends are not mature enough yet to just listen and support, they're still caught up in their own world.
The one bit of good advice they gave though was to talk to the bf to try to get things across, but her reaction is realistic for a 15 yr old girl. Even though talking about it may have helped, that takes some skill and maturity and even if they had talked the end result still may have been that she wasn't ready to date. As for him, it also would have been nice if he had been able to encourage her to share her honest feelings rather than just quietly accept the breakup, but when you're scared, hurt and don't know what to do that's easier said than done. Relationships have an inherent messiness to them now and then so I thought this so far was a well handled depiction of how a teenage romance might go. It's not just about feelings or caring for the other person, a lot of other things come into play, especially since they're so young.

Damn, this shits good
She cares too much what others think. If she had done the relationship or actually talked to him when the issue was starting to become an issue things might have turned out different. It's good he's really understanding. Her friends were really pushing her into a corner and didn't understand people go at their own pace. I've met people that have rushed their relationship and it didnt work out, but I've also met people that have rushed it and worked out (not as common but it happens). They were still young so they had a lot of time to figure it out. They can even figure it out now. Just shouldn't let anyone try to tell them how their relationship ship should be because they are the only 2 people involved.

if only she knew that he liked her the way she always was...
yes she shouldn't have listened to the people that didn't even know her, and communicated with her boyfriend instead. but she was just a 15 year old child.

Oh no... it has been revealed that... the manga has bad writing and the author is making shit up because they don't know how to write a story!
The reason for breaking up is stupid. But what is even more stupid and illogical is that the boyfriend HEARD EVERYTHING, and DID NOTHING TO REASSURE HER. All he needed to say was that he loved her for who she was and that she didn't need to do all those extra things for him. He just needed to tell her that she could be how she was normally, similar to when they were first together. He just needed to tell her that she can ignore the stupid opinions of the other girls. That's it! Problem solved!
Instead, what happens? He doesn't do anything, just nods OK to the breakup, and waits many years until they somehow apparently meet at the same college. Wow, what a dumb story.

Aww I just want to give her a hug and tell her that she's not wrong to feel the way she does. I've been in her shoes and similarly just cut things because of feeling or worrying about being in-genuine, rather than talking things out. Loving this story so far <3
