Hm....I'm not sure what to think about this chapter, especially Chisaki's 'confession'. She still wants to bully Ueno but only if Ueno is still onboard with it. If Ueno actually said yes, will Chisaki still get in the mood to continue bullying Ueno even after knowing Kanako's and Moka's thoughts about it? I don't think so.

I also know it might rub some readers the wrong way that Chisaki is again grouping the blame to both her and Ueno for causing the suffering of Kanako and Moka (i.e victim blaming). As shown throughout the manga, Ueno does blame himself for the bullying due to him breaking the trust he had with presumably his only friends in middle school, so I can see Ueno not completely disagreeing with Chisaki's take that the both of them need to take responsibility for their actions. That is also why I think Ueno wants to give an answer beyond bluntly telling Chisaki to end their relationship and dismiss her since she can't get aroused by anyone or anything besides bullying Ueno. I get it, it's not his responsibility to help Chisaki get aroused by other means, but it will be a lot easier for Chisaki to move on from him if Ueno do manage to set up a path for Chisaki to do that.

I also do wish Moka wasn't present for the talk as I wanted strictly Ueno and Chisaki figure out the future of their relationship together. She keeps popping up at the worst moments too. Give her heart some rest, author! Sheesh!

Ah well, on the bright side, depending on Ueno's answer, Chisaki can start mending the relationship with Moka right away. We'll see...

I thought he told Moka that he was moving next month. Did that much time pass already? Nothing happened in the meantime?

I’m tired of the victim blaming. It’s his fault for being weak maybe? Except that he’s weak because he’s been broken down for years by Chisaki. She also stated plainly that she’s ok with what she’s done and would rather continue to do it. Chisaki is an unrepentant monster.

He decided to move because he wanted this cycle to end. He wants to be different even though he probably doesn’t know how to change or what to do, he at least knows that his environment needs to change. He’s been conditioned to believe this is his fault because that’s what Chisaki was trying to program him to think. It’s not the truth and if he gets anything out of this entire mess, I hope he figures that out.

Also, why is anyone talking about Moka mending her friendships with the 3 bullies? How could she even begin to trust them or even feel comfortable around them anymore? They haven’t even faced her to apologize for anything they’ve done.
