I wonder if once this arc is resolved, are we going to just go to the next character to have trauma out of nowhere.

Mio is afraid to ask for help, fearing that her problems might make her a burden.
But this will definitely help her start changing her mindset, little by little—because what they told her was truly genuine. 😭👏👏
A round of applause for the lovely Koyuki, who continues to prove what a great friend she is to Mio—not to mention Akane, Touya, and, of course, her beloved Kurose! 💙

Truly unexpected, especially from how the series was going up until the Kurose Band Arc.
I commend the author for being tactful in its representation and not immediately resorting to the Kurose being a “knight in shining armor” role and just overcoming his own stuff in a quick manner. Instead resorting to the friend group doing their best to show that they genuinely care about Mio and are there to support her as a group.
I’m sure the time will come when Kurose will show up big time. But right now; this is what the story needs. To show that she has a support system at school to help her when she’s ready.

Hopefully after he gets his own affairs in order. Should have a much clearer head by then.

He needs to get his shit together 100p. You cannot attempt to be that support to someone with that level of depression having weak resolve. There is little to no room for uncertainty and fecklessness in this situation. I trust the author will do it the right way based off of what we’ve seen so far.
Listen, she could get better before we reach that point and that would be alright too. Just having that friend group alone is huge. It doesn’t have to go the route of Kurose getting it together and being the one to get Mio across the finish line of feeling better and being able to manage her depression healthily again.
If their romantic relationship materializes, it doesn’t have to be because he ‘saves’ her.
That was really sweet. Sending a video of them having fun showing Mio that they're close enough and within reach if she's ready to rely on them. But not too close where they're are encroaching or pressuring her to overcome her mental anguish. Or "saving" her as other people have mentioned.
I do find it interesting how both Kurose and Mio deal with their issues. They're similar in that they both start by distancing themselves from people. The difference is in what drives that distance.
Kurose's trauma made him unable to see the things going on around him. Not that he's self-absorbed, but he kind of blacks out and gets so overwhelmed by whether he's meeting people's expectations that he forces himself into situations that don't serve him. Eventually it boils over and he retreats into a hole, believing that isolating himself will avoid people being disappointed in him.
Whereas Mio can't help but see everyone around her. She's found her people and found happiness but is afraid of losing it all. So she creates distance to protect herself and avoid becoming a burden. That's why she insists on dealing with everything alone. She knows she's making people worry, but she prefers that than bringing people into problems with her own heart.
Thanks for the translation!

Yeah... but I'm not a fan of the execution. The whole "low battery that doesn't recharge" analogy instead of just saying she has clinical depression feels so... coddling. Kurose is more than old enough not to be talked to like that. And with how easy it is to find information on the internet these days, it's not like saying "she has clinical depression" would scare people their age or make them treat Mio like a leper... unless this is one of those cases where clinical depression is such a big taboo in Japan that we Westerners don't know about it, so it has to be treated with kid gloves.
Also, bringing it up while Kurose was dealing with his own stuff feels like a bit of drama overkill. The author could have chosen another time in the story to address it. Unless... the author is doing it now because there isn't much story left. Which would be weird, considering this manga is selling like hot cakes.
But that's just my opinion, which I'm sharing with Moz. If anyone thinks it was masterfully done, they're free to think that.

Probably the author trying to show it in a more simplified way that japanese manga readers will understand.
Japan isn't very good with mental health awareness, can't suddenly info dump some otaku with a bunch of medical jargon.
Even then, this simplified depiction is pretty rare in manga.
Story is not perfect though, far from it. Author needs to give the drama arcs more time to breath in between.

Understatement, they're actively and sometimes seemingly willfully bad at it.

Although not the country with the highest rates anymore, probably not even top 10 last time I checked, Japan doesn't garner that reputation as a country with high suicide rates for nothing.
Edit:
"A study published in the International Journal for Equity in Health conducted by researchers at UC Riverside and the University of Tsukuba found a stark contrast between Japan and the United States. When surveyed about individuals with major depression, 84% of Japanese participants expressed a desire to maintain social distance from them, compared to just 28% of participants in the U.S."
