Kimi wa Yotsuba no Clover - Ch. 21 - The finishing blow

[GoufTroop]

Do teachers just not exist in these stories?

 

[Phantaminium]

Satisfying as all hell ending for Yae. He is broken beyond repair and still got away lightly for what he tried to do, I think getting to the instigator will be difficult but it's almost guaranteed to be someone from his past? That makes the most sense at least.

Friendship
FATALITY

 

[Septazia]

Good day for a cover change too.

Do teachers just not exist in these stories?

Yeah this is a bit silly, this guy needs to be taken out of school, take some meds, get some counseling.

 

[silverpetricof]

I hate you (100x).

Thank you for the translation.

 

[n3na3]

i feel its not the end for our bomb... he'll definitely scatter shrapnel our way

 

[GunsmithNoob]

...the worst she could say is no?

Don't know guys, kinda have a bad feeling. Few more chill chapters before a storm never seen before

 

[Lewd_Beast]

I'm so use to light and fluffy, so this is a departure for me, but I am riveted... Transfixed... It is gloriously dark and I am so here for this.

LOL, Japanese teachers are known for not giving a shit about bullying, either because they have little rights and could become targets themselves (Why Japan has so many movies about it), or because they just don’t care.

Like that case in Hokkaido where a student was sexually bullied really badly for several months by senpais, even hung upside down naked in the bathroom, and other stuff, which some teachers witnessed and did NOTHING about, not even report it to the school board. Or the infamous 14-year-old Saaya Hirose case who ended killing herself, which, as cruel as it was, the entire board was aware of, and yet they did nothing about it, confirmed by the chairman himself.

And that’s just two fairly recent cases.
Whenever you read a manga with bullying and see a teacher solving the situation, you can find Japanese comments saying shit like "Bullshit, the teacher wouldn’t do anything in real life!"

 

[Bonzalez]

Would prefer he died but I'll take this

Nah this is much better. If he died he wouldn't have to face how horrible he was and how he caused all his own pain. Now he gets to suffer indefinitely

 

[Magnus_Prime]

Ouch.

 

[Orenji-kun]

From my point of view, it seems like he doesn’t really love her at all, maybe he just too lonely and need someone similar be with (of course this dumb ass don’t even know what the friends is and mistake it with love) and of course he’ll keep her to himself

Not defending this shit but i just think there more than one perspective to look inside this fucked up, psychopath brains

Yeah, he tried to bulldoze everything she said because he doesn't love Yotsuha at all, he's "in love" with the delusion of a perfect partner that will make him eternally happy that he projected onto her. He's traumatized by the broken home he was raised in, but instead of trying to break out of that cycle of abuse, he chose to cope by deluding himself and repeating that cycle by abusing Yotsuha and Uichi while justifying his abuse to himself as just him correcting Yotsuha's "mistake" and making sure they end up together because they're "destined" to be together. That's why he's so hopeful when she says they could be friends instead, all he really wants is someone to help him coregulate his emotions, but all his current friends don't do that because he created those friendships through manipulation so no one knows the authentic Yae. That's why once Yotsuha made it undeniably clear that she wouldn't be that perfect partner for him and wouldn't even be a source of emotional regulation as his friend, he lost all control and started physically attacking her.

His murder of Uichi didn't happen in this timeline, so he hasn't crossed that line here, and he's young so he can still turn things around for himself. IMO he's a child so as long as he doesn't cross that line where he'd be tried as an adult for his crimes, this is more on the family that abused him and the community and school system that failed to protect him and get him out of that abusive situation or at least provide the help he needs. Unfortunately, people just like him act like this both as children and well into their adult lives when they can abuse their power over other people on a daily basis....

why are there no teachers in this world who notice the bullying or just friggin are there to witness what is happening right now

Because in Japan having a teacher do nothing is the most realistic outcome. You have to understand that something like this, horrific levels of bullying with the intent for the victim to literally kill themselves, happens all the time without teacher intervention.

 

[pushpakg]

Good riddance

 

[Bananimal]

Yotsuha dropping triple diss track on a Tuesday levels of hate right here

 

[GambierBay]

She did it! She saved her man!

 

[Sakuyadorf]

Daaaamn girl came in with her own
Imagine Breaker
nice job

 

[ezzhead]

It's totally deserved here, but I'll make the joke anyway:
"The worst she can say is 'no'."

Soooo much worse than no. Yae would rather be dead man, now he doesn't even have the will to kill himself.
