SAME! a lot of her inner monologue of "why are you like this?" is so fuckin relatable. high school was roughhh. you keep trying to tell yourself to stop being weird and just act normal, but you can't control your emotions and you get in your head about it. there's no guilt trip manipulation shit happening, it's just a teenager being overwhelmed by her own emotions who hasn't learned how to control them yet.

you often see in manga authors attempt this trope and it turns into a disaster, and instead here it's just completely realistic. I really appreciate it tbh. people are messy and impulsive especially when they're 16. yom-sensei really seems to understand that.
Fuck. Even as a guy, I relate to what she's doing. I know what I'm doing is making it worse, but a part of me is like "I've already dug myself a hole, backing out now will seem even more pathetic. Just commit." But massively regret the following day and hate myself.
But that was when I was a young teen, and am extremely glad to have grown out of it (even if it took 5-8 years), though the regrets still occasionally come back to me.
"The worst morning in history."
I don't even know exactly what's going to happen, but way to say the black clouds are upon me at this point in the story. I wish it weren't so, but one look at the comment counts of future chapters and the ratings count there's no way to spin it as anything positive.
This, unfortunately, was not the worst morning in history for Hikari. The worst morning, for her, only happens a couple of days later, when she sees the boy she likes, Yuu, ends up kissing Hikari's best friend, Yami.
