Damn something is seriously wrong with all of you who commented before me lol
The MC is of course not a good person but sheesh wishing for her to die? I really I’m glad I don’t know any of you in person if for stuff so small you would be glad someone else died, seriously what psychos
I agree. Koharu isn't a simplistic "good person", but her motives and behavior are, for the most part, credibly human and even relatable. I mean, she
IS shallow, selfish, spoiled, reckless and hypocritical... But her flaws are no more pronounced than than those of most people. The story admits and accepts them, and as a result, she's a more three-dimensional character than most hero-type manga protagonists. I like her, for the most part, even when she's not very likeable.
Koharu does fuck up in this chapter. She spits out Madoka's secret in the heat of a confrontation, and though she feels self-righteous about it, she also seems to understand that she's crossed a line. We could call this the creation of "shallow drama", but we could also say that it's the basic substance of fiction: people dealing with the consequences of their flaws. If everyone behaved perfectly at all times, there would be no stories worth telling.
