"Because you never know when to accept you are plain wrong ... sigh. "
That It's funny coming from you. Also, me a few minutes ago "Actualy .... that is much more reasonable. I buy it"
"Shamiko just said she wanted a smartphone, but not why."
But she said what she want. That was my point, she said what she wanted and Momo ignored that and began to look for other options because they were better, totally ignoring Shamiko's wishes.
"None of it was related to safety, only to getting the best price for the features she actually wants."
Of course, that was a part, but it is obvious that she also think about the safety of Shamiko, for some reason she put the GPS.
"(The GPS thing was not related to buying the phone, she just did it afterwards)"
She literally mentioned it at the beginning https://mangadex.org/chapter/788455/2
"You are saying Momo needs to be a mind reader and act on information she doesn't have AND see through Shamiko's lies .... you are extremely unreasonable"
No. I am saying that she should be more attentive to Shamiko's emotional state to avoid things like this https://mangadex.org/chapter/788455/5 before they happen. You don't need the ability to read mints to notice such blatant signs.
"I have trusting Shamiko to actually tell her the truth is not a mistake and not Momo's fault"
Did you ever hear the saying "If you cheat me once it's your fault, if you cheat me two it's mine"? Just trusting her knowing that she is never honest is incredibly stupid on Momo's part.
"The fact that she is very concerned and oblivious might be seen as a minor flaw, but that's just because she is not super social"
You like too much to minimize Momo's defects. Leaving aside her great social deficit, my complaint is that she has not done anything to try to solve those socialization problems that cause these misunderstandings, or has put herself to reflect about them.
"Momo has been exceptionally patient and nice in this chapter, almost a bit out of character even"
Momo is always super nice with Shamiko. I don't see anything different in this chapter.
"If Shamiko had been honest none of this would have happened = ergo Shamiko's fault"
And if Momo had only bought Shamiko the phone that she wanted since the begining none of this would have happened, which, acording your own logic = ergo Momo's fault.

What can I say? It seems that one of the things that Bug and I have in common is our passion to defend our view points 😅.
