Kind of an exposition backstory dump there. Came off really flat for me, and I can't put my finger on why. Maybe a lack of build-up? I wasn't given the time or knowledge to start hating the dad -- a mark on her neck isn't really enough for me to start thinking abuse. Idk. Feels like I can sympathize but can't emphasize.
I feel bad for saying it, but I think I'm just waiting for either a trainwreck or for this best couple to get shipped. Still think this manga's great despite my reasons.
