Was re-reading last chapter. Translator changed a few text bubbles on page 2 and 3. And now it seems less of bullying and more of that guy just being very very dense and not fully realising what his actions does to Koga. Though doesn't change the fact he's an ass. šŸ˜‘

Ok now Iā€™m confused. HE LITERALLY TRANSLATED HER LYRICS!

This is either a big misunderstanding or the most neutral bullying ever
Yeah, I don't think it's so much bullying as it is just a very dick move. It was clearly not (yet?) meant to be seen by the 'public' by the 'author', so you don't just go and spread stuff like that without even asking.

In our Western view, this doesn't really look like bullying. Maybe of a blunt way of complimenting her. In Japanese culture, this is a very shitty move to do and absolutely not done. Japanese culture has a "honne", your inner true feelings, and a "tatemae", how you act expected from the society. She wrote a song about her true feelings and it got exposed. Hence their fierce reactions.

"Don't look down on music!" Uh, it's really the girl they shouldn't be looking down on, right? Priorities.

I think I know how Koga feels; I can relate to her so much. I wasn't a cool guy in the class. I was a quiet one, in fact. But I loved rock music. Then I learned how to play music. Eventually, I played in the school festival. Then there was a delinquent; maybe he got annoyed by the fact that a not-so-cool guy was playing a rock song. He shouted "rock my ass!" while I was performing.
You'll get stronger, Koga! And someday, I hope you don't have to hide your cool side anymore.
