See? This is what I am talking about ... the series starts with him having a very strong physic response to "attractive women" with the psychological reason being because he believed he was betrayed in middle school by a attractive girl.
The funny thing is at no point she actively hurt him, she treated him nice because that made her look good, she didnt like him and that was all in his head, she also only confirmed that to her friends ... she didnt public humiliated him, string him along or did anything else.
And yes, there are people here that act as if she is a shoujo villain character and yes, she is targeting Shizuka in the sense she wants validation to her belief that there are no good girls, Shizuka seemingly have no flaws ... outside how is currently giving a lot of mixed signals to Keisuke that is, funny how that seeingly isnt a issue.
I got no clue why this comment section has such a huge hate boner for this girl. she pulled one practical joke that every middle schooler has done before its not that deep.
How do you people get that "she hasn't hurt anybody" nonsense when story shows multiple times, including even her internal narration, that she knowingly hurts people when she thinks that will get her what she wants, even when it's just satisfying her curiosity or proving a point.
This Reddit comment from previous chapter is pretty detailed in showing how she's consistently behaving like a dick most of the time, but here are my own two main points just to remind you quickly:
a) she initiated badmouthing Kusunoki on purpose with her two goons she clearly brought just to be able to do that, despite knowing girl is just bad at communication, she literally says that in her inner monologue, just to get her isolated and hurt. She expected Kusunoki to be hurt and therefore angry at her, that's why she was so surprised when she got apologies instead. She in turn only apologized because she got curious again, and she still shows no actual remorse, and still only plays friends with her so she can force her to show her "dark side"
b) when MC vomited, she realized it was in reaction to her, as she clearly told him, and yet instead of trying to avoid that reaction, she cornered him when he was resting after getting sick, even climbed on top on his bed to prevent him from escaping (that's really fucked up behavior BTW, imagine this scenario with reversed genders), making use his trauma on purpose to force him to explain it, trying to invade his privacy and drag potentially painful memories, just because she was curious. Again, she was acting in harmful way with premeditation just to satisfy her petty whims.
And , Exile, why would Shizuku giving mixed signal be an issue, when not only she isn't sure herself what's her relationships, but he also was pushing her onto his guy friends as well? They are both friends and loners without lot of experience in relationships of any kind, but they both still clearly care a lot about each other, what more could we want? That doesn't compare with being two-faced or bully at all.
