What a cool chapter. Thanks for the translation!

Sometimes, even if we're truly sorry, you can't magically gain the forgiveness of others, and that's fine. All you gotta do is take that shame with you as a lesson for yourself.

 

[Hadski]

Great realism, not the reality check we expect since irl we don't have that figure that Koharu took upon herself

But still great realism, bad and good things will happen no matter what

Do Japanese say "break a leg"?

 

[lolfacesayshi]

Stories without instant forgiveness. Good. The real world isn't that easy, and asking for forgiveness shouldn't paper over everything.

Some scars don't go away, as the chapter title implies.

 

[MagnaDrake]

Absolutely heartbreaking, in a good (sort of) way. This is the closest to real life portrayal of friendship breakups I've ever seen in a manga.

i really hope kanba is a girl of many interests

I don't know, sometimes they do resolve themselves this way. Again, the issues here are relatively minor by comparison to some extremely violent or excessively degrading acts of bullying, but also this manga is about people who the first time around could not actually resolve these problems anyway.

 

[Pandacyborg]

I like this. Oftentimes a sorry isnt enough, at least not at first.
Also I don’t think any of the boys stand a chance here

 

[razorshaleh]

he so strong, can lift koharu using only one hand and in this chapter, there is character development from hozue

thank you for translating

 

[shwiftyshfifty]

- smells like yuri

 

[Luke_chase]

I have no idea how I’m gonna cope wen this starts releasing monthly or whatever

 

[Lunkli]

Until our souls cross paths once more in the boundless sphere of fate, Hozue.

ironic that the speaker is the one who have done it

ironic that the speaker is the one who have done it

That's why I am asking, it could be that there's a saying in Japanese that means something to that effect but doesn't mention breaking your limbs

I think it's "ganbare!" as a cheer, maybe? Not bcs she has a broken leg, i don't think she intent to say as sarcasm

After Years of being looked down, this chapter satisfied me tbh.

Now imagine that a person who used to bully you, years later suddenly shows up and apologizes to you for every harm done. In fiction, that sorry could have resolve everything and the bullied would accept it. But reality isn't often as sweet we think. The bullied would straight up crash out (valid tbf). Though there wasn't any bullying (I think) but tomboy's action were not justified at all. And I still hate when characters out of a sudden gets redeemed, even if they, let's say Killed an entire Nation (I may have exaggerated a bit, but you get my point). For me the Tomboy's Redemption is bullshit and I still don't like her at all (though the author did it intentionally, for which great writing as always or I am just an idiot, I think later makes sense). I always hate power hungry peoples and they always do is harm others for their fun. Her character has a simillar coincidence, but the same can be called for her lackeys, who shouldn't have any redemtion at all. Either way, I am looking forward to her future character arc.

TL;DR: The Tomboy's redemption (For me) is straight up BS.

P.S It would be fun to see a manga written on the perspective of a former bully. A silent voice do count but I want to read others to. And again pls read this and take this take with a grain of salt. I don't want to harm anybody here with my wordings or my saying. Afterall this is my opinion to begin with. And if u want to chatgpt the whole comment, do it. And I should mention it English is not my first language so my grammar or wordings will have some mistakes here and there.

Edit: I might get flamed with comments where it says I didn't read the chapter very well, to their dissapointment I did and saying on that basis. And they have every right to say that because they have free will

 

[Haydrion101]

Ngl I genuinely appreciate someone told her to stick her "sorry" where the sun dont shine. Makes this feel less one note! But I'm proud of her fer trying anyway, not everyone can give it their all on an apology tour. uwu

Do Japanese say "break a leg"?

They don't. I think the original script just says "Ganbare", but NOT saying "Break a leg" in an English script portraying theatre work is definitely weirder. I chalk it up to translation choice.

I don't think you have to worry too much about being flamed, but I think you're having a bit of trouble with your English?

After Years of being looked down, this chapter satisfied me tbh.

Using "satisfied" here would mean that you liked the chapter and feel good about how the story went. It suggests you had concerns about how the bullying was going to be handled, but that you're happy about how the story treated her.

TL;DR: The Tomboy's redemption (For me) is straight up BS.

This suggests the exact opposite. It would mean that you don't like how the story went, that you think this development is cheap, annoying, and fails to take the harms of bullying seriously.

For me the Tomboy's Redemption is bullshit and I still don't like her at all (though the author did it intentionally, for which great writing as always or I am just an idiot, I think later makes sense).

This would mean both ideas at the same time, where you say the the tomboy's redemption is bullshit (bad) but that the writer did that intentionally and it's great writing (good). These aren't completely contradictory statements, but "bullshit" is quite a strong word, and would tend outweigh your more positive comments.

You also talk a bit about bullying in real life and redemption arcs in other stories, but you seem to come to any conclusions about them or relate them back to this story. So it's a bit hard to understand what your actual feelings are about the chapter. You come across as being quite ambivalent about it, having both positive and negative feelings, but then you make multiple statements about "not meaning to harm anyone with your words" and "getting flamed for your comment", which suggests that you believe this comment to be much more strongly negative or controversial than it actually is.
