is it just me or "if you don't have money you shouldn't have children" an extremely good idea?
I would say it depending on how you look at it. That word can be look at multiple angles. Poor people shouldn't have children, so only rich people can have children is also another way to look at it. I think it depends on how you raise your child and the environment they grow up. Of course having a lot of money is good to have not only for raising children but also for yourself.

You know, I don't really like Manaka-kun and his sense of self-righteousness. I know he's somewhat meant to be the voice of reason amidst all the chaos that takes place around Suzuki-chan. But bearing in mind that he never even once tried to "do the right thing" using the proper channels like reporting to the teachers or authorities about his friend being bullied. And don't say he had no idea because he clearly could see that she was being bullied. He saw how she became more isolated and was progressively getting more and more depressed. Sure, he never abandoned her like Yumi and he stood up for her a few times. But he never actually tried to actively bring a stop to Suzuki's bullying. So it's pretty rich coming from him to question sensei's intervention which ultimately put a stop to the bullying.
What's he done? Was he going to wait till she self-exits before he could report with concern how she was miserable and possibly being bullied? He stood up for her a few times sure, which all the more shows he should have been aware she was getting bullied. Yet it never once occurred to him that he could report what he's observed to a counsellor as a concerned friend, or even to the police?

In fairness to manaka, he admits thats just his point of view as an outsider looking in. He even acknowledges that has basically no comprehension of how different his mentality would be if he were the one in that situation. Which i find respectable, he knows his opinions are being completely based as someone who is not being bullied and going through all that mental anguish.

I think that's part of the point though - even the "good guy" characters in this story are flawed, either through their action or inaction. In this case he's the foil to Aizawa. While Manaka offered support while the bullying was happening, he couldn't/didn't take any decisive actions to do anything about the source of the issues. Meanwhile Aizawa permitted and even enabled bullying in order to gather evidence and end things in the long-term. Ultimately though, both ended up being important and necessary to save Shiori.

How can he have been this uninvolved to not even realize who her teacher is like he is much more stupid than the teacher could fathom like even he was shocked at times.
