I genuinely have no idea how or why I managed to correctly guess that Tachibana had glasses and (presumably based on the B&W shading) brown hair tied in a ponytail. The WN didn't explicitly describe her physical appearance at all from what I remember. Funnily enough she's my type, too bad she's a total piece of shit.it’s a wholesome chapter, even AI gives the MC support so they can stand back up. Takayanagi-sensei is totally chad, he cares a lot and even apologizes to MC for failing to protect them during the bullying (teachers like him are really hard to find in other manga and in real life).
but you’ll be even more satisfied if you read the Spoiler Summary for Light Novel Volume 3, this meme will sum up everything that happens in LN Vol. 3 (i want to say it's similar to a scene from Crows Zero: Suzuran vs. Housen, but MC doesn't do anything related to revenge)
WARNING : Please Don't Click if you Hate Spoiler
Point Summary :
The Kondo–Miyuki problem is finally over. Kondo was arrested by the police for assault, resisting arrest, and other charges, and his dad was arrested too, accused of abusing his position, threatening civilians, and corruption.
Miyuki confessed everything to the whole class, she admitted the accusations against Eiji were lies she made after being caught cheating with Kondo. After her confession, she was labeled a liar and a slut, and she lost all her friends right away. She almost killed herself, but Ai stopped her, because Ai didn't want Eiji to be hurt again because of Miyuki.
Ai also told Eiji a secret she’d been keeping, she’s actually from a powerful family (Ichijou is her mom’s name, her real family name is Ugaki).
The only big problem left is the literature club president, Tachibana, but that's basically waiting to be dealt with because Takayanagi-sensei already has proof the lit club was involved in bullying Eiji. Chats between Tachibana and Kondo that Tachibana thought were deleted are being recovered since Kondo's phone was seized.
The last thing to sort out is Ai's family situation.

★ Tachibana (lit club president) backstory:
Tachibana loved writing since she was a kid. By middle school she started to think the world was like a story she could steer, that a little push from her would make things go the way she wanted. For example, she once baited Kondo to break up a childhood friend's relationship, just by saying the girl was pretty. Kondo, who liked hitting on girls and messing with relationships, went after her, and Tachibana felt like she could control everything.
Then she met Eiji and felt failure for the first time. She read Eiji’s writing and realized he was way more talented than her. After that, she tried to destroy Eiji's talent by getting close to him and trying to win his feelings. But Eiji is kind and loyal, so he never turned to Tachibana.
Feeling like a failure both as a writer and as a woman because she couldn't seduce Eiji, Tachibana chose another path. She tried to ruin Eiji's relationship with Miyuki by baiting Kondo again. Even though Kondo is now cornered and his actions are coming out, Tachibana's connection to him won't be easy to expose, because she had deleted the chat logs first.
★ Kondo & his dad:
Kondo ran home and begged his dad, who’s a city assembly member, to cover everything up. Kondo told his dad he'd assaulted a student over a romance issue, spread false info about that student online, and whipped up the soccer club to bully him. Police were investigating at the school. Kondo’s dad, who’s aiming for the mayor seat and doesn't want his name stained, told Kondo to hand the case to him and said he'd go to the school to sweep it under the rug. He planned to “offer” something to the teachers, and if that didn't work he'd use political pressure.
Kondo’s dad went to the school during break to talk with the principal and Takayanagi-sensei. He asked them to hide the incident and even threatened them, claiming he had connections that could ruin the school's reputation. But the school didn't back down, the principal slammed the table, told him off, and said teachers' job is to protect and educate students, they wouldn't bow to his demands. The principal said he didn't care if the school's name got stained, what matters are the students who graduate and become decent people. He warned Kondo's dad that a city assembly member should represent the people, not abuse power to crush them.
Unbeknownst to Kondo's dad, the whole conversation was overheard by provincial assembly chair Yamada, who happened to be at the school. Yamada's family owes a big debt to Eiji and Ai, because Eiji and Ai once saved Yamada's father, so Yamada listened in. The talk was recorded and became strong evidence of political pressure.
Kondo's dad's only plan to hide his son's deeds was to try to get Eiji's family to withdraw the police report. So he went to Aono's Kitchen to offer money, claiming his son's actions were just teen mischief and begging Eiji's mother to drop the complaint. She flat-out refused and told him to leave.
Angry, Kondo's dad escalated and threatened to ruin the Aono family's restaurant using his power, even hinting at revoking their license. At that moment, the former mayor stepped out of the restaurant, clapped, and mocked Kondo's dad, asking since when a city assembly member could destroy someone's business. He introduced himself as an old friend of Eiji’s father, and shamed Kondo's dad.
Then Yamada showed up and played the recording of Kondo's dad, proving the abuse of power. Cornered, Kondo's dad tried to apologize with a dogeza (formal apology on the ground), but Eiji’s mother refused. She said they wouldn't withdraw the police report, and they'd even add a new one for the threats.
Kondo's dad realized his political career was over. As he tried to leave, a fancy car blocked him, Ai stepped out. Her presence wasn't like a normal high school girl, her aura put pressure on him. Calm but threatening, Ai warned him not to touch Eiji or his family. She revealed she's the daughter of a high-ranking official, and that made Kondo's dad pale, since Ai's father could destroy his career instantly.
★ Kondo’s capture:
Kondo had been told by his dad not to leave the house, but he panicked when the police came. He tried to run, and officers chased him. During the chase he threw things to slow them down. He ran toward the school and a crowd formed at the gate. Police yelled for people to stop him. That’s when Imai Satoshi, Eiji’s friend, stepped in and tripped Kondo, knocking him down and causing his head to hit the pavement.
Imai didn't want Kondo to ruin Eiji’s big moment that day. Soon after, police arrested Kondo right in front of the students, and many filmed the arrest on their phones.
★ At Aono’s Kitchen after school:
Eiji came home to family and Ai, who’d already been at Aono’s Kitchen. The former mayor and Yamada, the provincial assembly chair, were also there to celebrate the award being given to Eiji for saving Yamada's father's life.
Eiji was asked to take a dish prepared by his older brother, while Eiji’s mom asked to speak with Ai alone to say thanks for supporting Eiji during his hard time. She’d heard about the bullying, Kondo’s lies, and Eiji’s near-suicide. Ai said she actually felt saved by Eiji. Eiji’s mom said she considers Ai like a daughter and asked Ai to see herself as part of the family.
During the celebration, Eiji’s phone buzzed nonstop from messages on the site where he posts his novels, praising him. He even got an offer from an editor who wanted his story in an anthology and asked to know about other works he writes.
★ Kondo’s dad faces party consequences:
Kondo’s dad was summoned by the party branch head to be held accountable. He was asked to hold a press conference and apologize publicly. His rude behavior toward reporters became a hot topic. Feeling cornered, he thought his political career was over and felt abandoned by the party. In desperation and anger, he threatened to expose secrets he knew.
At the press conference, reading a script, he apologized and said he'd consult his lawyer. But reporters pressed him, and under pressure he admitted he’d bribed the branch head to help him run for mayor, claiming his money put that person in position. That confession turned the press conference into a party bribery scandal.
Then the party’s secretary-general, Ugaki, stepped in and revealed the full extent of Kondo’s dad’s wrongdoing, showing proof of the corruption and the sums involved. Kondo’s dad panicked and tried to flee, but police arrested him outside the hotel where the press conference was held.
★ Miyuki’s fall:
That day was terrifying for Miyuki. After Kondo's arrest, classmates asked why the guy who “protected” her was arrested. Miyuki couldn't keep pretending. Pale-faced, she admitted she'd been caught cheating with Kondo and then falsely accused Eiji out of fear. The class turned on her coldly. Humiliated and overwhelmed, Miyuki left school.
Outside, her phone flooded with hateful messages calling her a liar and a slut. She sank into shame and guilt, realizing the consequences of her actions.
At the hospital where her mother was staying, Miyuki found her mom watching the press conference of Kondo's dad's confession. Miyuki had to explain everything, how she betrayed Eiji and that Eiji almost tried to kill himself because of it. Her mother was devastated and ashamed.
Though weak, Miyuki's mother tried to get up and apologize to Eiji’s family, but hospital staff stopped her for health reasons.
Miyuki went home, changed into her school uniform, and couldn't forgive herself. She thought if she hadn’t betrayed Eiji, her life might be different. She planned to end her life, remembering Kondo saying the rooftop door was broken and couldn't be locked, but the school had fixed and locked the door.
Ai confronted Miyuki in the corridor and stopped her. Ai didn't want Eiji to be sad again, she didn't think Miyuki had the right to hurt Eiji more.
★ Tachibana tries again, but is watched:
Tachibana was shocked when Eiji's novel, the one she thought she'd destroyed, became #1 on the web novel site. Her pride shattered when she overheard Eiji and Ai talk about a publisher offer. Tachibana followed Eiji to a cafe and saw him meeting an editor. Eiji’s work had been included in an anthology and he was offered more. Tachibana, who’d tried to imitate Eiji’s style, couldn't capture the same feeling. She wanted to badmouth Eiji to the publisher but stopped, she never gets her hands dirty directly. Still, she started planning a new way to bring him down.
Luckily, the school noticed Tachibana’s suspicious behavior, thanks to Endou Kazuki telling Takayanagi-sensei that he saw Tachibana tailing Eiji when he went to meet the editor. Endou also said Tachibana was around back when Kondo caused trouble in middle school.
Takayanagi-sensei grew suspicious of the lit club, because Miyuki had said her affair with Kondo started from a club member. Sensei called a meeting with all lit club members, and their identical alibis looked scripted. Takayanagi-sensei also kept chat logs from the lit club that were on Eiji’s phone as evidence.
Tachibana thought she was safe because she'd deleted chats from the server, but Kondo’s broken phone was seized by police and data recovery is in progress.
★ Ai & Eiji relationship reveal:
Ai sees Eiji becoming a successful writer and gets scared she might be left behind, so she rushes to get closer to him, even inviting him to her room. She flirts and hints at doing something “wrong” that night, but Eiji just hugs her. Eiji senses Ai’s pain and comforts her, promising he won’t leave her and will stay by her side. Ai is happy, cries in his arms, and asks him to go somewhere the next day to show him something.
The next day they skip school and visit Ai’s mom’s grave. There, Ai reveals her true name: she’s not Ichijou Ai, she’s Ugaki Ai, Ichijou being her mother’s maiden name. After her mother’s death, Ai was bullied by jealous classmates because she was known as a survivor of a tunnel collapse, which increased jealousy. In high school she moved away, started using Ichijou, and lived alone in a mansion her family prepared.
Eiji doesn’t care about her real name and promises he’ll love her anyway. From then on they call each other by their real names.
After returning, Eiji asks his mom why Uncle Ugaki rarely visits Kitchen Aono. It turns out the party secretary-general Ugaki has ties to Kitchen Aono, and maybe that’s connected to Eiji’s father.

Back in elementary school, the main group of bullies had figured out a way to game the Zero Tolerance system by starting fights and then having one of their group tell a recess teacher that their target had started the fight—with several other "witnesses" all agreeing. They'd only do this once or twice a month, and none of the teachers did ANYTHING about it from when it started in 4th grade all the way through 6th grade. Actually, that's hyperbolic. My 4th grade teacher would "punish" those of us getting bullied by keeping us inside during recess, helping us finish our homework early, letting us read in silence, and sometimes even getting us treats since the Zero Tolerance policy wouldn't allow her to "show favoritism" by only punishing one person.
But other than her, none of the teachers cared enough to look beyond the surface, even though it was always the same group of kids reporting the fights, with one kid in the middle of a schoolyard fight ring being blamed despite looking like he'd just had his teeth rearranged while everyone else looked peachy.
I almost got expelled in 6th grade because of those absolute wastes of space, and had to pull off a complicated, multi-step plan straight out of a freaking JRPG in order to get the Vice Principal in position to hear the ringleader of the bullies gloat to me about how he and his friends were close to getting me thrown out and how smug he was that the teachers kept kissing his ass while helping him kick me while I was down.
They still didn't punish them. Suddenly, while I was no longer being threatened with expulsion, it was suddenly "too close to graduation" for the "poor dears" to be expelled, because they're "just kids being kids" and I should "be the bigger man" despite, y'know, BEING IN THE SAME MOTHERFUCKING SCHOOL YEAR. In a room that had the principal, vice principal, my teacher, my parents, and a cop, I told them that if they didn't even try to keep that fucker away from me for the last four months of the school year, I'd "be the bigger man" by beating his ass black and blue. I'd tried being peaceful for three goddamn years and got nothing but shit for it.
He didn't bother me anymore after being transferred to the other class, and then we went to different middle schools, but I kept to my promise. He tried to restart his bullshit in the first week of high school and I picked his 4"nothing ass off the ground and slammed him down hard enough he couldn't breathe. Fucker didn't bother me again.
So yeah, growing up in the ghettos wasn't fun, especially when everyone's first assumption was that I was being racist just because I'm white, and the teachers in this manga are a goddamn fantasy that I couldn't have dreamed up in a million years. It's super refreshing.

★ Tachibana (lit club president) backstory:
Tachibana loved writing since she was a kid. By middle school she started to think the world was like a story she could steer, that a little push from her would make things go the way she wanted. For example, she once baited Kondo to break up a childhood friend's relationship, just by saying the girl was pretty. Kondo, who liked hitting on girls and messing with relationships, went after her, and Tachibana felt like she could control everything.
Then she met Eiji and felt failure for the first time. She read Eiji’s writing and realized he was way more talented than her. After that, she tried to destroy Eiji's talent by getting close to him and trying to win his feelings. But Eiji is kind and loyal, so he never turned to Tachibana.
Feeling like a failure both as a writer and as a woman because she couldn't seduce Eiji, Tachibana chose another path. She tried to ruin Eiji's relationship with Miyuki by baiting Kondo again. Even though Kondo is now cornered and his actions are coming out, Tachibana's connection to him won't be easy to expose, because she had deleted the chat logs first.
★ Kondo & his dad:
Kondo ran home and begged his dad, who’s a city assembly member, to cover everything up. Kondo told his dad he'd assaulted a student over a romance issue, spread false info about that student online, and whipped up the soccer club to bully him. Police were investigating at the school. Kondo’s dad, who’s aiming for the mayor seat and doesn't want his name stained, told Kondo to hand the case to him and said he'd go to the school to sweep it under the rug. He planned to “offer” something to the teachers, and if that didn't work he'd use political pressure.
Kondo’s dad went to the school during break to talk with the principal and Takayanagi-sensei. He asked them to hide the incident and even threatened them, claiming he had connections that could ruin the school's reputation. But the school didn't back down, the principal slammed the table, told him off, and said teachers' job is to protect and educate students, they wouldn't bow to his demands. The principal said he didn't care if the school's name got stained, what matters are the students who graduate and become decent people. He warned Kondo's dad that a city assembly member should represent the people, not abuse power to crush them.
Unbeknownst to Kondo's dad, the whole conversation was overheard by provincial assembly chair Yamada, who happened to be at the school. Yamada's family owes a big debt to Eiji and Ai, because Eiji and Ai once saved Yamada's father, so Yamada listened in. The talk was recorded and became strong evidence of political pressure.
Kondo's dad's only plan to hide his son's deeds was to try to get Eiji's family to withdraw the police report. So he went to Aono's Kitchen to offer money, claiming his son's actions were just teen mischief and begging Eiji's mother to drop the complaint. She flat-out refused and told him to leave.
Angry, Kondo's dad escalated and threatened to ruin the Aono family's restaurant using his power, even hinting at revoking their license. At that moment, the former mayor stepped out of the restaurant, clapped, and mocked Kondo's dad, asking since when a city assembly member could destroy someone's business. He introduced himself as an old friend of Eiji’s father, and shamed Kondo's dad.
Then Yamada showed up and played the recording of Kondo's dad, proving the abuse of power. Cornered, Kondo's dad tried to apologize with a dogeza (formal apology on the ground), but Eiji’s mother refused. She said they wouldn't withdraw the police report, and they'd even add a new one for the threats.
Kondo's dad realized his political career was over. As he tried to leave, a fancy car blocked him, Ai stepped out. Her presence wasn't like a normal high school girl, her aura put pressure on him. Calm but threatening, Ai warned him not to touch Eiji or his family. She revealed she's the daughter of a high-ranking official, and that made Kondo's dad pale, since Ai's father could destroy his career instantly.
★ Kondo’s capture:
Kondo had been told by his dad not to leave the house, but he panicked when the police came. He tried to run, and officers chased him. During the chase he threw things to slow them down. He ran toward the school and a crowd formed at the gate. Police yelled for people to stop him. That’s when Imai Satoshi, Eiji’s friend, stepped in and tripped Kondo, knocking him down and causing his head to hit the pavement.
Imai didn't want Kondo to ruin Eiji’s big moment that day. Soon after, police arrested Kondo right in front of the students, and many filmed the arrest on their phones.
★ At Aono’s Kitchen after school:
Eiji came home to family and Ai, who’d already been at Aono’s Kitchen. The former mayor and Yamada, the provincial assembly chair, were also there to celebrate the award being given to Eiji for saving Yamada's father's life.
Eiji was asked to take a dish prepared by his older brother, while Eiji’s mom asked to speak with Ai alone to say thanks for supporting Eiji during his hard time. She’d heard about the bullying, Kondo’s lies, and Eiji’s near-suicide. Ai said she actually felt saved by Eiji. Eiji’s mom said she considers Ai like a daughter and asked Ai to see herself as part of the family.
During the celebration, Eiji’s phone buzzed nonstop from messages on the site where he posts his novels, praising him. He even got an offer from an editor who wanted his story in an anthology and asked to know about other works he writes.
★ Kondo’s dad faces party consequences:
Kondo’s dad was summoned by the party branch head to be held accountable. He was asked to hold a press conference and apologize publicly. His rude behavior toward reporters became a hot topic. Feeling cornered, he thought his political career was over and felt abandoned by the party. In desperation and anger, he threatened to expose secrets he knew.
At the press conference, reading a script, he apologized and said he'd consult his lawyer. But reporters pressed him, and under pressure he admitted he’d bribed the branch head to help him run for mayor, claiming his money put that person in position. That confession turned the press conference into a party bribery scandal.
Then the party’s secretary-general, Ugaki, stepped in and revealed the full extent of Kondo’s dad’s wrongdoing, showing proof of the corruption and the sums involved. Kondo’s dad panicked and tried to flee, but police arrested him outside the hotel where the press conference was held.
★ Miyuki’s fall:
That day was terrifying for Miyuki. After Kondo's arrest, classmates asked why the guy who “protected” her was arrested. Miyuki couldn't keep pretending. Pale-faced, she admitted she'd been caught cheating with Kondo and then falsely accused Eiji out of fear. The class turned on her coldly. Humiliated and overwhelmed, Miyuki left school.
Outside, her phone flooded with hateful messages calling her a liar and a slut. She sank into shame and guilt, realizing the consequences of her actions.
At the hospital where her mother was staying, Miyuki found her mom watching the press conference of Kondo's dad's confession. Miyuki had to explain everything, how she betrayed Eiji and that Eiji almost tried to kill himself because of it. Her mother was devastated and ashamed.
Though weak, Miyuki's mother tried to get up and apologize to Eiji’s family, but hospital staff stopped her for health reasons.
Miyuki went home, changed into her school uniform, and couldn't forgive herself. She thought if she hadn’t betrayed Eiji, her life might be different. She planned to end her life, remembering Kondo saying the rooftop door was broken and couldn't be locked, but the school had fixed and locked the door.
Ai confronted Miyuki in the corridor and stopped her. Ai didn't want Eiji to be sad again, she didn't think Miyuki had the right to hurt Eiji more.
★ Tachibana tries again, but is watched:
Tachibana was shocked when Eiji's novel, the one she thought she'd destroyed, became #1 on the web novel site. Her pride shattered when she overheard Eiji and Ai talk about a publisher offer. Tachibana followed Eiji to a cafe and saw him meeting an editor. Eiji’s work had been included in an anthology and he was offered more. Tachibana, who’d tried to imitate Eiji’s style, couldn't capture the same feeling. She wanted to badmouth Eiji to the publisher but stopped, she never gets her hands dirty directly. Still, she started planning a new way to bring him down.
Luckily, the school noticed Tachibana’s suspicious behavior, thanks to Endou Kazuki telling Takayanagi-sensei that he saw Tachibana tailing Eiji when he went to meet the editor. Endou also said Tachibana was around back when Kondo caused trouble in middle school.
Takayanagi-sensei grew suspicious of the lit club, because Miyuki had said her affair with Kondo started from a club member. Sensei called a meeting with all lit club members, and their identical alibis looked scripted. Takayanagi-sensei also kept chat logs from the lit club that were on Eiji’s phone as evidence.
Tachibana thought she was safe because she'd deleted chats from the server, but Kondo’s broken phone was seized by police and data recovery is in progress.
★ Ai & Eiji relationship reveal:
Ai sees Eiji becoming a successful writer and gets scared she might be left behind, so she rushes to get closer to him, even inviting him to her room. She flirts and hints at doing something “wrong” that night, but Eiji just hugs her. Eiji senses Ai’s pain and comforts her, promising he won’t leave her and will stay by her side. Ai is happy, cries in his arms, and asks him to go somewhere the next day to show him something.
The next day they skip school and visit Ai’s mom’s grave. There, Ai reveals her true name: she’s not Ichijou Ai, she’s Ugaki Ai, Ichijou being her mother’s maiden name. After her mother’s death, Ai was bullied by jealous classmates because she was known as a survivor of a tunnel collapse, which increased jealousy. In high school she moved away, started using Ichijou, and lived alone in a mansion her family prepared.
Eiji doesn’t care about her real name and promises he’ll love her anyway. From then on they call each other by their real names.
After returning, Eiji asks his mom why Uncle Ugaki rarely visits Kitchen Aono. It turns out the party secretary-general Ugaki has ties to Kitchen Aono, and maybe that’s connected to Eiji’s father.

I used to imagine that Tachibana will look something like this, until the reveal of Endo's ex-girlfriend who also has a twin braids, the only thing I was right was her sunglasses:

I have to say it's kinda hard to sell the "guy pushed to the end of his rope by bullying" line when we're only a couple chapters in and his mom, friends, and teachers have been nothing but supportive.
