I Shaved. Then I Brought a High School Girl Home. - Vol. 10 Ch. 50

[pip25]

Well i get your point but i feel nothing about this, maybe is the narration or the drawings.

I think the problem is not that the flashback was anticlimactic, but the opposite, it went way too far.

Everyone hated Sayu, the few people who didn't hate her pitied her, the even fewer people who did not pity her died. All that's missing, really, is a pet dog that's run over by a car, just after her friend died. Misery porn is what I'd call it.

Kids run away from home for a variety of reasons. Some are trivial, making this option even more irresponsible, some are pretty heavy. But each of those situations feels genuine and human. Sayu's situation does not; it's designed to tug at your heartstrings with cardboard cutout characters and cheap drama.

Definitely relationship. Their age difference is not that big.

I'm still cheering for the co-worker but I don't really care how this ends. Anyone is good.

put Asami into the mix too, shes a good girl.

i still cant tell if they will go adopted daughter route or relationship route

both 💀

merry christmas and happy new year in advance

Thank you much for the chapters, and apologies for the weirdness of the ko-fi message.

I know "I Shaved… A High School Girl" isn't the real title, but for some reason that's how my brain always processes it in the first few microseconds. 😅

I feel like she doesn’t really appreciate the older brother for some reason. He’s the only one keeping this train wreck of a family together. He’s taking care of both the mother and the daughter and she just views it as pitying her. He’s trying his best and she doesn’t even feel like he’s family.

I wonder how many of the people currently upset with the manga, are at least partly mad due to this.

Those weirdos can stay mad tbh lmao

We don't really know much about him aside from the fact that he's quite wealthy. If I had to guess, he's basically never around to really protect Sayu. She never mentioned him protecting her from the brunt of the mother's abuse and at one point, the best thing he could do was to just give his little sister a wad of cash to finance her runaway. He has good intentions, sure but boy does he suck at brother-ing.

Thank you for helping me figure out what felt off about him.

A brother would invite her to stay with him for a couple of weeks, or find her a place to stay.

Someone who's playing chess with her as one of the pieces, gives her a wad of cash because then he has plausible deniability if his mother asks.

The events of her backstory are so melodramatic and extreme. If Sayu's perspective is meant to be accurate than that is really over the top. She had an unreasonable hateful Mother, distant Brother who pities her, a suicidal stalkeresque friend, an entire student body that hated her, and media and teachers that didn't question why bullying led to suicide. Did the kitchen sink hate her too?

If Sayu's perspective was just her one sided perspective where her interpretation of everything is super bleak, and her family do care about her, but have their own issues, but they find resolution, that would be some good writing. I guess I'll hold judgment until the end.

At this point though I just want Yuzuha and Asami to be happy.

wait isnt he like 30 or something? was he relatively young? man this series updates so slowly i must have confused the ages with a different manga

I figured he was in his 30s too. I don't remember them ever mentioning any ages up until this arc tho
