Very good advice. If you don't like being by yourself but want to be more comfortable by yourself a book really does help you not think about it

This author knows the issues of Japan's current "don't stick out, don't speak out" culture way too well.

I swear this author must have studied actual medical psychology at some point.

 

[JKTV]

Oof heavy I love it, I hope the next chapter focuses on her too. If not, hopefully her next chapter will be soon

 

[Lobo]

Thank you for your hard work translating!

It's good writing that the problem isn't necessarily neatly solved, MC just helps students deal better with their issues.

And it mostly avoids black and white stuff, outside of stuff like molester arc. For example, in this chapter the gals' group wasn't painted as cartoonishly evil. The tallest girl was being a bitch during conversation, but others called her out on it, and, probably because I'm not a fan of moral police students in manga, I don't dislike her much - who cares about sitting on tables, and it feels to me that the previous issue with Kouga could be caused by something minor as well. And we don't even know what happened with Jun-Jun, and if it really had to do with school at all.

theres always 2 sides to the story, i hope we get the teachers perspective cause she seems choked up about this too

 

[Soneca]

Really nice to see a new chapter of this series, and it went by quite fast, I barely felt the 54 pages.

Thank you very much for the scanlation, Good Try Scans.

FUSJIMI HAIR DOWN !!!!!

I feel like this is maybe the weakest chapter in the entire series. It was like 10 pages worth of content stretched out to 5x that by just repeating everything over and over with no elaboration on anything. The issues with the focus character aren't really elaborated on, nothing with the teacher is elaborated on. I know that not everything is going to be spelled out and solved but I can't help but compare it to something like Tasogare Memorandum which always felt like it managed to tell a complete story in each chapter despite only giving you bits and pieces of what's going on.

This series kind of lives and dies on whether the central issue/character of a chapter is engaging and this and the last chapter were just kind of flat.

M.I.L.F
Man I Love Fushimi-san

 

[KitRagnell]

[Lustrist]

oh man this reminds me of someone i knew for sure

 

[ErikTheRed]

I wonder how our flawed understanding of the situation will be challenged next chapter.

Maybe the author really is just having a poor showing, but the repetition, where the character's negative thought loop reinforces her own internal assumptions over and over again while she gets no real external insight, matches so closely to what it actually feels like to be in that headspace. I can't help but feel like the author has done it on purpose. I think it really highlights the issue to help readers in similar situations see themselves in the character.

It feels to me that the lack of elaboration on the teacher and the missing students are the author being gritty and real, showing that you're not always going to get the full context or the answers you need to personally achieve closure and that sucks, but cyclically obsessing over it on your own is only going cause harm. They show her spiraling and then they present a tool (reading novels/thinking about something else) that you, the reader, might be able to use if you find yourself similarly spiraling.

So to me, coming in to it with this perspective on the author's intent, I actually thought this was a really strong chapter compared to some of the previous ones.

Thanks for the chapter! This series is always so good
The author does a really good job at presenting the issues in a way that's at least understandable even if you can't entirely relate to it.

 

[SpudWumper]

needed this

The author was quite masterfully showing the passage of several weeks: all her meals in different places and Kouga's name being pushed down in her latest contacts feed...
