That might be her step father, definitely has to be since she has a different name. Right guys
You might be onto something. She was "Takagaki" (according to Shizuki) in middle school, but in high school she's "Hebikawa". Plus, I remember her mentioning to Kusunoki that she doesn't like being called Hebikawa - implying that she may not like her stepfather.

Oh shit oh no oh no
I know I was saying "I hope her backstory is more than just 'I've always been a bitch XD'", but this might be really bad
I don't think it's that kind of manga. It'll be a misunderstanding and return to fluffy stuff soon.

I mean... that's why it's confusing why people hate her. She's a fun character and the series would be positively milquetoast without her.
she is objectively a bad person lol MC aside why is how she treated the FMC just forgotten about? She genuinely doesn’t view other people as anything but tools, that is not how normal people act

Don’t understand what makes her a fun character tbh maybe that’s just me

Everyone in this manga is boring except for Snake-bitch. MC's hangups are dragging the story down, "m'lady" tomboy is bland and a 3rd wheel as far as tomboys go, and I still have no clue why FMC's self esteem is so low. She seems to be secretly athletic though, so what gives?

Snake-bitch, though? Just the right amount of conniving while making sure not to strike below the belt. She'll reach behind you with her noodly reptilian limbs and stab you in the back with a pleasant southern hospitality smile on her face. She's the ultimate chickenshit heel for a manga like this.

Bruh, why does everyone hate Hebikawa so much? For what, saying hello to MC in the hallways during middle school and him becoming devastated that she wasn't the angel he one sidedly imagined her to be? She was just a fairly typical girl in the social rat race of middle school continuing on to high school. Almost everyone is a little bit two faced to create in- and out- groups in socialization. It's not like Hebikawa set out to antagonize him-- she didn't even remember him-- and his trauma is the result of his own narrowmindedness.

And it's not like Hebikawa's going to steal MC given the title of the manga unless the author is unfathomably based
In my case, it's because she invited Kusunoki out saying she wanted to be friends. She then bring her own friend and pretty much proceeds to ignore Kusunoki the entire time they are out. That's pretty much bullying

I fully agree with you, but people basically saying she doesn't actually stab anyone in the back are the weird ones. They get the interesting villainess and then pretend the "villainess" part doesn't exist, what is even the point there? All that's left then is girl who wanders around while wearing menacingly smug smile constantly. Is it because they dislike the MC or something?

Also how do people claim that someone who gets on bed on top on someone in sick room who clearly hates that, and then warns them to stop trying to escape, is normal and typical.

First that childhood friend romance manga, and now this one... Is getting sugar daddys (daddies?) that common in Japan??

Most of the time they're high schoolers too...

I'm calling bait. I don't see this manga going that deep into the sugar daddy life
I'm also gonna call bait. Idt this is that type of manga lol.

Though, the author can throw the book to the wall like the wholesome childhood friend romance manga, thats running right now did.

Like I said before, the moment Hebikawa becomes a viable love interest or MC decides to like her again, the author has lost plot on what he's writing
theres no way MC gonna like her again, she isnt FMC, but If The First thing happen i may drop

It could be bait but if they continue this compensated dating thing, it feels unnecessary.
