[Chisako]

;-; good job mayu

 

[karolyn]

That was way more touching than I thought it would be 😭

 

[phoenixir]

So much strength. I think I'm getting teary

 

[TheBoll]

Damn ninja onion squad strikes again.

 

[Andraker]

Yes! Kill him with kindness!

 

[Abedeus]

@Andraker

Yes!

And then turn around and kick him in the crotch!

 

[JumboWheat01]

More damage dealt than any physical hit she could muster.

 

[Argih]

That's a strong woman

 

[attinat]

@Abedeus no no no

 

[stygianking]

;-;7

 

[arcsalvo]

That's nice of her, but her father probably thinks she's turned into a lesbian now, probably due to him.

 

[DjAlexDubCheck]

@arcsalvo A sweet revenge in its own way

 

[Keansor]

@arcsalvo Nah he's not her dad, not even step-dad I think. Just moved in with them as her mom's boyfriend. That said, the idea of him thinking she's gay because Yuki is like that is actually pretty funny.

 

[Ponkadelic]

damn, Mayu is so blinding...

 

[Glomoro]

Mama always said to kill them with kindness. This is how you do it I guess. The guilt in him for hurting her before is currently enlarged and eating away at him. Not that that's why she did it, but it is kind of a bonus I guess?

 

[Chimeracord]

Psa: if you were abused in the past, and your abuser apologize s you are not obligated to forgive them. Forgiveness is not a necessary step to recovery. It needs to be your own personal subjective choice to forgive.

 

[Pokari]

@Chimeracord: Agreed. And there's also nothing so hideously unaware as those who demand the right to apologize in person, for their personal closure, as this man already pretty much did in a previous chapter!

Honestly though I thought her "forgiveness" here seemed a pretty decent (if almost definitely unintentional) "I forgive you, but, to be clear, you're still a horrible person".

(Now, I think he's supposed to be a three-dimensional character who, like many who abuse in anger, was not in a good place at the time. Honestly though the realness of that has, if anything, made this more uncomfortable to read for me. Nobody is obligated to take care of someone who's been lashing out at others while they self-destruct. Well, that said, I think the author possibly recognizes all of that from what I've seen so far, thankfully.)
