He has the same bland expressions like our goat Troy from PR Megaforce (?)What i can’t over is how mc has like one expression no matter what emotion he’s feeling
The threat itself is also so overstated and overused. The idea that someone can release a video and it immediately becomes viral and everyone in Japan sees it, can identify the person, and his life will be ruined. Even though the subject is a child, and a victim.Let me get this straight: this guy has a photo/video of your childhood friend when she was a child and nude, and he's threatening to upload it online unless she prostitutes herself for him?
Does nobody in this story have any functioning brain cells?
The material itself would already be considered child sexual abuse material. On top of that, he's committing blackmail, extortion, coercion, harassment, invasion of privacy, and several other crimes. The guy even stole a phone. At this point he's basically building a criminal record speedrun.
What makes this arc so frustrating is that the solution is painfully obvious: call the police. Tell a parent. Tell a teacher. Tell literally any responsible adult.
I'll let you in on a secret too: people who don't understand what "media literacy" means, are unlikely to understand what "functional illiteracy" is (three-cueing, anyone?)I agree with you on this, the majority of people don't know what that term means and just use it because it widespread in the mainstream communities (since it also became some kind of meme)
I’ll let you in on a secret: the word you’re looking for here is “functional illiteracy” (I hope you've learned something new today).
Btw, I'm pretty sure that neither that guy (who clearly gave me a confirm of this with his comment) nor you (I'm pretty sure of this too, but I'll still give you the benefit of the doubt) understood what I said in my first comment.

And don't worry, I understand what you meant with your first comment, you're just plainly wrong.
Every one of your responses oozes this smug, smartest-guy-in-the-room attitude, so don't be surprised that people take exception to that.
I'm pretty sure you don't, but i won't waste my time on it (since the other guy completely misunderstood my first message and you didn't give me any counter-argument on it, which makes me think you haven’t understood it either and this new comment of yours only reinforced my first impression)I understand what you meant with your first comment, you're just plainly wrong.
Sure, dude, think whatever you like (or whatever suits you best) at this point I don’t care.Every one of your responses oozes this smug, smartest-guy-in-the-room attitude, so don't be surprised that people take exception to that.
It's even worse when you realize they basically had to destroy Hanabi's personality and logic of how things were to make this arc work.The threat itself is also so overstated and overused.

It would get taken down immediately, and he would go to jail since proving it was him would be simple, plus it would expose all the other crimes he did.
Even if some people save it, the kind of people that would keep it and share it among themselves aren't going to be making a big deal out of it due to how illegal participating in that is. As in, pointing out that you can recognize a victim of CP means you watch CP yourself. Kind of like recognizing a porn actress in real life, you wouldn't shout it out, and that's not even a crime.
Really? She ruined 10 years of the MC life and now she is in trouble (and getting other people involved) just because she is dumb so now everything is ok? I don't think minus minus is plus in this case.Welp, all's forgiven. Hanabi best girl.
Hanabi was acting weird before the pimp, and what makes it funny is that she doesn't seem to be getting worse at all after what she is going through. My issue is not what happened to her, it's the execution in my case. Everyone except the MC seems to have no brain (Including Kirigaya, there is no way that this is going to end well for him).Completely butchered? Brother.....she's been pimped, before that she was already feeling remorseful for how she used to treat Souma, this whole experience she went thru kicked that remorse into high gear
It's crazy after reading these past few chapters you just chock it up to "for no reason"
Media literacy is so cooked
Kinda feels like Hanabi has changed a lot. Maybe too much.
It's a start. She clearly is trying to be better. I don't know if it means he'll forgive her or even want her as a friend, but it does mean something.Hanabi apologizing. That's good.
It's even worse when you realize they basically had to destroy Hanabi's personality and logic of how things were to make this arc work.
In the earlier arcs, she was perfectly capable of plotting, manipulating situations, and thinking ahead. But now, somehow, she couldn't come up with anything to make this complete moron take a fall? Not call an adult, not gather proof, not set him up, not use the fact that he was already committing a pile of crimes against her and the MC?
No, instead the story goes with the worst possible route: everyone suddenly becomes stupid, the plan is absurdly bad, and the villain turns into some hentai-level evil caricature just so the drama can keep escalating.
That's what makes me worried about continuing this series. We already had an attempted SA against the MC with the crazy lady from work, and now his childhood friend is being abused, with the story being vague about how far it went, all for a very weak plot device.
So at this point, why should I trust the author not to take the worst possible route with the MC and the FML too, especially if dragging out the suffering helps milk the drama longer? This arc is not just dark. It's absurd.

clarification, read with cautiousFrom what I heard the web novel did not not have this arc the author of the light novel added this arc and even went as far as to have Yukishiro getting raped as well, It looks like her getting raped was removed in the manga version, And the author of the manga is the same author of other work's were rape is used as a punishment for the female characters.
I saw a comment that said that happened in the light novel versionclarification, read with cautious
In the light novel 2 Yukishiro it's never raped, i've seen all and never found something like that, so I'm not sure where did you get that info from
