My team and I will gladly see it through to the endThanks for picking this up. This is definitely a manga that deserves to be finished. Great translation!
Thank you for sharing your story and providing insight on how divorce has affected you and those around you.Kinda a interesting chapter, my parents divorced when I was in highschool so this one is perhaps the most relatable for me. I had a similar experience as sensei where the divorce wasn't...messy or anything, I didn't suffer or something. I still love both my parents but I think the most stressful part of the entire thing was my mother being concerned that the divorce was going to effect me mentally.
I recall when I came out as Bisexual, my mothers first response was to ask if I needed therapy, because she thought it was because of the divorce. She thought that my parents falling out of love when I was 16 was going to somehow fundamentally change me, I always thought that was odd. I love both of them, but at the end of the day, relationships sometimes end and I was old enough at that point to not really be bothered by it.
In inverse of that is that when my father DID remarry, I was also old enough that I didn't see her as a step-mom, just "the person my dad is married to." She's...fine, and her family is okay, but being older means that socializing with her and the family is more of a formality in order to be around my dad.
Just felt like sharing since this is the manga for introspection and all, thanks for picking up the story.
Ppl be narrow-minded. It's realisticI relate to this quite a bit, I grew up with little to no contact with my dad, and that was fine by me. I thought it was perfectly normal for some people to only one parent, until I moved and the new school I went to wanted to put me in counseling because of it. Every day, I would be asked, "any sign from your dad?" and every time I would answer, "no, and I don't care." I can't say I agree with the message of this chapter, because at the end of the day these people are creating nonexisting problems because of what really is their own narrow-mindedness.
I feel like, that polite culture goes too far in this regard. Like, in manga at least it's the friend who pushes past social norms to check in and almost insert themselves. There is sometimes initial backlash or emotional outburst then a come around but cause there is no close friend in this case it falls to the teacher. They even go so far as to juxtapose the teacher's response with the friends response which was interesting cause the friends are on first name basis.I'm glad to see it back.
The thing with everyone around being considerate and saying "I'm sorry" and in the end making athmospere being awkward is always that they don't really know what they're sorry about. They do know that they shouldn't pry and in the end they never ask you about how you feel, what you think, how you hold. And you yourself, if asked you would've thought and talked about it, but seeing them being cluelessly considerate, get annoyed and close up, saying to yourself that nothing is wrong. Ultimately it's the thing that disconnects you from other people, and even from yourself.
I'm glad to see that sensei managed to connect with his student this time. It's that manga, after all.
Last panel hits hard
