woah, unexpected random TL, much appreciated!

unfortunate that there is a random sob backstory to somehow easily redeem and explain away this disgusting pos character? Also, seems the actual pedophilia and cheating will just be shoved aside without being adressed ever?

Unlucky, thought this would go somewhere interesting with only 10 chapters total. Guess this vile cheating abuser gets away not only scot free but rewarded. Meh.

Why do people always take sad backstories as an attempt at redemption? They are there because most people actually have stories behind them being a PoS. It doesn't justify their behavior, and I don't think the authors try to do that either.

Because some people hate certain characters so much that they can't accept anything portraying them sympathetically, just look at previous chapters discussion, with the way some hate Ami you'd think she's some serial killer / rapist or something, she's basically worse than Hitler, which is funny since she's not even  that bad.

I also find funny the idea of redemption, like, redeem what exactly? Yeah she's kinda of an asshole, but that's it, all that'll happen is that she'll become a better person thanks to Rei.

The story more or less presents Ami as a troubled individual that makes a lot of bad decisions, some people unfortunately instead sees her as some vile unrepentant monster that deserves to suffer, they simply can't deal with the fact that version of her only exists in their head, cue whining about the story direction since she'll never suffer any consequences, if anything the story is about Rei saving Ami.

I don't necessarily disagree, since, like many others, I'm really not keen on betrayal.
But it was already shown that Rei is aware and is deliberately jumping in, so now I'm probably more annoyed with her lack of self-respect, rather than anything Ami does.

Oh neat this is back

The concept of omurice seems good minus the ketchup but i think i'd rather just have like a fried egg on the side of a rice bowl

Dang imagine asking ur daughter to lend you money, i guess she did mention a part time job earlier on but still (that said unless they're staying at some nicer hotel or so it's kinda bs for a school to have it be a required payment for each student as opposed to some optional thing like a club that'd have some sleepaway/training camp)

Lol, no, if you actually went back and looked at the comments you would see that people saw this bullshit from a mile away. It's the most basic trash story line you see in garbage psychology stories and this pos is no different. Ami is a vile unrepentant monster that deserves to suffer, you're just mad that everyone else saw it from chapter 1. "Mommy/daddy isn't perfect" is the worst kind of excuse for these type of people. And Rei is just your classic doormat yuri MC too stupid to be left alone for fear that she might forget how to breath.

this.

People have got to understand that when you have a person who makes a bad decision that causes collateral damage, the people who got hurt aren't forced to ever forgive them, though not forgiving may itself be a bad decision sometimes.

The thing they are expected to do is treat the person with basic empathy and a deserved amount of respect. The moment people stop seeing other people as real humans who think, feel, live, and fail is when the line is crossed.

If someone was neglected by their parents and took things out on you and the people around them, you're allowed to feel hurt and distance yourself, but you're not allowed to take the easy way out by hurting them back, nor are you allowed to blame them for anything besides the things that hurt you. You absolutely can't escalate the situation.

If you find out about the reasons the person hurt you, what you should do is acknowledge their experiences and not make those worse.

After what happened in the last chapter, this is where it's going? Justifying her attitude.
No matter what happened or is happening in her life, there's no excuse for her crappy attitude. Rei deserve better and Ami better parents. Not a girlfriend or a sugar mommy.

Congrats. You're an enabler. "Oh, you being bullied at school? Well maybe you should think about how maybe that bully's dad didn't hug him enough the next time he pushes you down."

Don't excuse shitty people for their shitty actions. They deserve to be called shitty people and reap their shitty consequences.

Huh, this just got licensed so I wasn't expecting the TLs to continue

Last chapter the teacher portrayed herself (and Rei) as victims of Ami's freewheeling spirit, but if you think about how she's both married and, well, a teacher, things probably aren't on the up and up on her end. Though there's only 3 chapters left so I doubt they'll tackle that

People think giving a font for Amy's shittiness is excusing it. I rather see it as the author showing how Ami had an immature reaction to being hurt. Her mother's "love" hurts her, so she consciously pays that hurt forward to Rei, denying her the simplest requests (it's fucking lunch alone how hard is that to do??) and playing with her puppy love devotion.

I was saying to give that bully basic empathy, to not ignore their humanity. Give them deserved respect, which can be not very much, depending on their actions. You're not allowed to hurt them if it's the easy way out. If there is another way, like getting a trusted authority to force consequences, you have to take that option, instead of continuing a fight. You're able to defend yourself until there is a way to leave the situation. You can act in a way that doesn't escalate a conflict.

You're allowed to feel hurt, and allowed to give that bully negative feelings, so yes, people who do shit things should be getting their justified consequences, it's just that they don't deserve to be dehumanized, or something like being beaten up. Call them a shitty person or human garbage if they deserve that amount of respect, but don't forget the "people" and "human"

Who the hell was saying they weren't human? Guess what? Humans can be pieces of shit the derserve everything coming to them. In fact, it's the most human thing about them. You are writing off every valid criticism under the guise of not dehumanizing them. We have every right to deny them empathy, we have the right to deny them respect. Telling us we are not "allowed" to treat the drawing like shit while giving that very character every excuse to continue their shitty behavior is hypocritical AF.

Ami deserves a boot to the side of the head next to a very long stretch of concrete stairs. And I'm allowed to say that about fictional characters.
