This is an interesting approach to bully redemption.
I mean, it's the only valid approach, really. All Ryouya can do is apologize and then it's up to Yuuto to accept it or not.
Curious if they'll actually have any sort of friendship in the future.
Interesting redemption arc I like the mature bully who's don't some internal reflection and come to a realization that they were the problem. I can't wait to see how the fight ends.
As someone who had a bully turn into a friend, I'm interested to see where this goes. Both perspectives are very understandable, and thanks to talking it out with my other friends I was able to quell the suffering. But... knowing this story there's an entirely separate way this "fight" could go.
Man, if he sticks to his guns and doesn't forgive the bully I will label this MC the GOAT, way too many series just let terrible people off scot free when they decide to join the protagonists circle. Hell, it isn't exclusive to anime/manga though it does tend to be the worst offenders. If he wants to be redeemed let him work for it.
