Made me remember how cliquey and fake people were back in high school :/. It’s crazy 5 yrs have gone by since then.

then once you leave you come to realize just how little that stuff matters, high school is a strange time

Did… didn’t I read this chapter already? I n ver read the web version of this story, only the book version, and I have the distinct feeling I’ve already read this chapter.

God forbid someone like stuff that isn’t tied to gender norms

It’s shit like this that causes people to keep their interests closeted until like college

Yeah people are acting like you don't find those kind of fakes and clickes in the work place too

Urgh, teenagers/young adults are troublesome. so boring

Everytime something like this happens to me I just get more and more not-wanting to interact with people.

We'll see how true of a friendship Miki really developed with those girls, it really doesn't have to be a 8-80 situation, though it could be.

Thank you very much for the scanlation.

True, but I think school is unique in both how encompassing it is for the people in it, while being short enough that you don't really have a chance to do anything but at first try to adapt, and if it fails, best to just wait it out. Workplace is often bigger and more, how to say, task-structured, you have your closest coworkers and direct boss that you have to learn how to cooperate with, then farther rings of people who don't matter that much, but you can still befriend some of them. And often you can ignore the work's social side to large degree, get your work done, take your paycheck and hang out with your buddies from local bowling club, fellow fishers, aerobic class, or even friends from high school or college who are still nearby.

Also, in high school there is no formal hierarchy among students (outside of older/younger in Japan etc.), so it develops its own social world, while work is more structured.

If what I'm understanding about this is in the right place and her friend is actually being really toxic (at least just basing on those panels and viewing them in a negative light), then all I can think is how much of pain it can be to be around them. I find it hard to deal with these type of people without getting angry... They come up with these interpretations and narratives about you AND also spreading it to other people to isolate you. I understand Miki so well, sometimes I wished they'd just have the nerve to ask or confront you directly without involving other people. It's so exhausting.

thanks for the translation!!

I was hopping the friend would take what she heard all in good stride, and talk to Miki about what she heard in private .I don't think that's gonna happen based on the last page.
