Sawada originally appeared just randomly annoying, but now I wish they could just adopt her into the Hori household as a junior kid.

MC is literally a model human being. Probably the best character in this manga. His existence alone carries this manga. He alone is the honored one

Sawada originally appeared just randomly annoying, but now I wish they could just adopt her into the Hori household as a junior kid.

To be honest, that's pretty much how most of the additional characters after the initial four or five were. Like the Student Council trio? Originally despised because they seemed like they were trying to publicly shame Hori for a mistake they didn't realize one of their own members made. Now they're an accepted part of the friend group.

It's like the characters are introduced in an exaggerated, extreme fashion, then normalized and naturalized into the cast through subsequent appearances.

The main problem with Honoka Sawada is that she's a second year, so far less likely to be seen in or near the same classes as the rest of the cast, who are all third years.

Kind of a shame she doesn't have her own friend circle in the school- one of the prior manga I read introduced a little sister for one of the main trio of the cast when they advanced to the second year of school, and she came in with at least one best friend in her class and is in the same class as a supporting character for another of the main cast's group who is initially resistant to making friends due to her underworld hitman upbringing (same as the one she's connected to from the main cast).


Anyway, I remembered her being sympathetic from the anime after her absurd introduction, so I didn't really mind her that much here- figured she'd prove to be sympathetic once again. I really do like the image of her as being an adopted little sister for Izumi, for sure, and this was nice to see. I know I saw the scene with the scarf before, at least.

I really didn't like that her storyline, like these of so many other secondary characters, went nowhere by the end of the manga.

Fair. Was about the same for the anime, too, disappointingly, but was kinda hoping it wouldn't be the same here, but I'll probably keep going, anyway. Still got some amusement out of what I'm seeing, and I don't give up on things easily.

Though do we even have all of the chapters up here? The 'Final Chapter' line on the main page says it should be 133, but we only have up to 127. Where's the remaining six chapters? Admittedly, I'm still a ways from that for now; I'll see if I have to go hunting down other sources when I get there. I know the webcomic is spotty as hell on MangaDex, with some hundred chapters, but then it skips up hundreds of chapters so it goes from 147 to 161 to 175 to 298 to 425... So many skipped chapters? Is that even right? So confusing. I just figured this was a more polished version, so I figured I would just read this, anyway.

Yeah, Isumi is a replacement for Honoka deceased older brother that she cared for when he was alive... hope she will be a recurring character and both Izumi and Kyouko will help her move on.

Wow. Sudden character developme~~

annnd Kyouko did 180°.

I'm a professional speechreader, I'm pretty sure Izumi has said "After I kill you, I will rape your corpse. Don't worry. I'll be gentle.".

Yeah, not really. Ignoring bullies doesn't guarantee them suddenly stopping, seeing that the usual methods don't work, they will find more tormenting methods to get on your nerves. First hand experience.
