I would have liked to talk about the flaws of the characters in this manga, but I'm too tired for it.
Regardless of the recent few frustrating character developments, it is still a good story.
The only thing that I fear is that they may try to whitewash Ushijima's character by either framing it as false rumors or false accusations. Or by portraying him to be too much of a "victim" to be a perpetrator (kinda how they whitewash Naruto villains, oh Pain a full-fledged adult who ruthless committed genocide out of his free will was actually the good guy, because at the last moment he gave a sob story, yup, yup)
I get it people in bad situations and bad influences do some bad deeds, but Ushijima's whole shtick was very organized, bullying from elementary school, the whole original Nina observation and kidnapping plan, he should completely be held accountable for all his actions. I don't like the idea that others need to be his friend first, forgive him and look past his actions.
Urgh. Ahhhh.
Ushijima bad. Idk what to actually say.
