The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You - Vol. 17 Ch. 141 - The Cat That Wants to be Adopted

[chrisvanart]

A cute 21-year old girl, sitting in a box wearing a cat costume and 'adopt me'. Very lucky this is 100 girlfriends, in any other world this would have gone wrong terribly.

I thought all the author had to do to make new characters was to make them unique but he found a way to make them weirder. (Commented after seeing the first page)

Depression cat...

Tama's mom was 100% correct

Try 50% correct. While what she said wasn't exactly wrong on a technical level, its not the kind of thing you say to someone going through suicidal depression and was making a cry for help. The whole mentality of "grit your teeth and bear it" and trying to trivialize struggle as just being "part of life" is one that is very damaging to a persons mental health, and makes it feel like they aren't being seen for what they're going through.

It's why what Rentarou tells her is so important to Tama: he's not invalidating her feelings, he's recognizing that she, like everyone, has limits to what she can go through, and that everyone's threshold is unique and should be treated as valid.

It's also what makes Tama's decision to find a part time job even if she hates working an important moment, her threshold has changed because she now has something in her life aside from the soul crushing monotony of going through the motions: she has someone who sees her and is willing to be there when she needs him.
