Typical japanese work dragDoes kinda feel like the group is forcing Ruri to do this. Girl folded pretty quickly.
It felt partly like she folded so fast because she is considerate to others, just like her best friend (or was it a classmate) pointed out in an earlier chapter. She saw how happy Maeda was and how much she wanted to do it. I believe that also swayed her a great amount.Does kinda feel like the group is forcing Ruri to do this. Girl folded pretty quickly.
To impose unwanted responsibilities on yourself and make your life more difficult in order to make other people happy and help them. Kindness and altruism really often make people easy victims of other people's needs.It felt partly like she folded so fast because she is considerate to others, just like her best friend (or was it a classmate) pointed out in an earlier chapter.

What truly bothers me tho is that others want her to do it because she didnt slack off like others, because she had other things to do too. Basically dumbing more work on the efficient workers to make sure they have less. Sidelining her to the comitee because of her dragon traits is ok and understandable, this is more like the typical lazy group pushing all the work to someone else.
Jesus, so far the most unrealistic part is that apparently all these high-schoolers are emotionally mature, considerate people.
Honestly, yeah. To the point I want to rant about it. This entire arc has been a downward spiral in my opinion.Anyone else feel like this arc has been dragged for too long and there hasn't been enough dragon aspects like discovering new powers, yeah same.

I already talked a bit about the unrealistic portrayal of high schoolers and the fact that Ruri is a pushover, bu there is more problems with every chapter.
First is the lack of adult presence. There is a supervising teacher somewhere, right? It feels like if an adult (an actual, not idiotic adult) stepped in, a lot of the "conflict" would not happen in this arc.
It gives me the ick that this arc basically promotes the idea that you shouldn't be assertive, and that giving in to social pressure will make you a better person. It feels slimy.
And obviously the disappearance of dragon content. That's what attracted most of us here in the first place, why is this gone? The one shot introduced Ruri's father for fuck's sake!
It's like the hiatus was a sign of things to come. The honeymoon period is over, and with every chapter I feel closer and close

I had my fair share of people like that who I thought were my friends.That's why I called it manipulative club activity. People want to appear friendly, active and motivated, but in reality they are simply gaslighting other people into participating in something that only they themselves are interested in. One of my childhood friends was practically a PhD in this. Every time I refused to go with him wherever he wanted, I suddenly found myself not caring about my friends and acting like an asshole to everyone.
Yeah. At times like these, I understand very much why the Japanese value “trust” in friendship so much.I had my fair share of people like that who I thought were my friends.
Best way to deal with them is to just say no and let them cry and whine. Unfortunately, when you're younger and impressionable, you don't really know how to deal with that type of person.
