Dyed hair and natural hair, is telling them apart that much hard??
Or…people just judge fast, way of putting it making sense?

It's because Japan is incredibly xenophobic and values conformity almost to the point of fetishization. Many schools will force kids with naturally blonde or brown hair to dye it black repeatedly. (Basically not letting the roots show, ever.) Enough so that it destroys their hair, not to mention their self-esteem. Some have sued over it, which are the ones that make the news. There's probably dozens, or hundreds, for every one that's sued.

Even foreign children aren't immune if they're going to normal schools. They get a bit less shit about it, but there's still teachers who are just complete and total assholes about hair color. (And skirt lengths, and underwear colors, and...) Girls tend to get it worse than boys, because Japan's also really misogynistic. I love the country and the people overall, but they've got some serious issues.

New info, but it's atleast explains why her hair is red.

I'm guessing in-universe it's seen as brown, since it was blonde to start with. It's just colored red/pink for us outside viewers.

Mom's gonna wrap her up for Hino to take home.

Thanks for using Lil' Bear Dinner Delivery Service.

I think the Lil' Bear's dessert.

I thought it'd be fun to have that ending all in one image, so here it is:

So Koguma takes after her mum.
Hino chan is in for a treat.

Koguma's a quarter, and she's ready to go in the slot. After that, she'll be spent. ¬_¬

Nah a lot of people are extremely malicious, either as entertainment or legit just to be a dick. I remember back when I was little there was a girl with a hereditary disorder that made her hair scattered with gray at like 10 years old in my class, and everyone was judging her for getting highlights. TELL ME HOW YOU CAN HIGHLIGHT INDIVIDUAL HAIRS.

Thanks for the chapter.

Oh right. Japan have that weird prejudice about foreigners or anything related like half children. It really close to racist tbh.
