"they want to change and drop their addiction/urges but they still feel joy when they try it again meaning thats what they really wanted", it's a long process dumbass, it's not said-and-done thing. really wanted to punch this guy.

lmfao at all the incels in the comments here
I don't honestly really mind that but it is kinda worrying the amount of people that look at what Ueno did and consider it too little
are you guys forgetting what Japanese culture does surrounding confrontation? Like with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ba_no_kuuki_wo_yomu for example, what Ueno did just now in this chapter is already impactful, smh 🙁


anyway thx for the tl, wonder what direction the author'll take

I’m going to be a contrarian and say that Ueno shouldn’t have stepped in here. Does he really know what Moka wants? Or is it wishful thinking and he’s just trying to make sure that he still has a chance? Who can say?
She confessed to him, and obviously was distraught by what happened when she met her ex. That, plus the flashbacks Ueno remembered during this very chapter, I think it's obvious she wants help.

Maybe in the end she'll decide to go back with him, and that would be that. But before she decides, helping her figure things out, helping her not be pressured by her ex, is the decent thing to do.

In any case I think he should be focusing on his own path rather than trying to help others right now. It’s like he’s drowning but also trying to help another person who can’t swim. They’ll both drown.

This guy can barely function and he’s stepping up? What is he going to do if the ex refuses to listen?
Sometimes helping someone else is the best way to help yourself. The new perspective can be helpful. And we're social animals. The feeling of accomplishment when you help someone who needs it, maybe that's what will help Ueno gain confidence to deal with his own troubles.

New route reviled??! OwO
I think Ueno despises him.

Nah man... I hope I am wrong, usually story like this are like roller-coaster, this moment's it felt the peak of the moment but next chapter, it could immediately went downhill

"His bitch" or not, Manaka is his friend.
Or maybe she wants to be the one to overcome her past without someone (especially Ueno) stepping in on her behalf?

In the end she’s the one who is working on changing. Her efforts lose meaning if she just gets rescued.

Help can be unwanted, but most of the time it's appreciated, isn't it?

We haven't seen enough yet to know in this case.
