@lfscruz I agree. He was kinda in the wrong because he hit her, she was also in the wrong for going off on her own. She needs to understand that what she did was wrong.
@lfscruz He's just a high schooler himself. He's not even a socially adept one. It seems to be hard for him to pull that off. I mean, he even decided to rely on a kindergartener's dodgy advice to be able to just speak with Chiho again.
This is the only part of the manga that I didn’t like. He shouldn’t be pandering to her because he’s teaching her that she gets whatever she wants by sulking instead of learning that what she did was wrong. Yotsubato did this lesson much better.
