Makes me wonder how bad she bungled that whole fashion change.

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

So are they going to reveal why she's feeling so down, or is it really just a case of her finding "adult life" too hard?
It's not like I don't understand if the later is the case, but the series had been seemingly implying that it was something more.

This series is utterly confusing guess we’re getting a reveal soon

 

[AzulDusk]

Well it may be confusing, but at least we see her become happier each chapter

 

[SpudWumper]

Thanks for the TL!! Love this series so far, excited for some backstory, whatever it ends up being!

 

[radstylix]

I'm hoping it's because she's neither smart nor sporty enough for college to maintain her scholarship rather than some douchebag taking advantage of her or something.

 

[Labucay_san]

Yeah not gonna lie I was o expecting more of a "embrace the new me but knowing the way I dress/am are not my true self". but at the same time her past is traumatic so it's a way to move forward.
But still I'll call that a downgrade.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I hope she gets her hair fixed soon, good grief its a mess.

People say the series is confusing when it comes to her past, yet in ch 18 she literally said what happened to her.

the problem is that 18 gave a general outline that was already implied throughout the other chapters. what we really want is the full story. what exactly happened that was so traumatic that she ended up this way.

My uncle experienced the same thing this girl did. He was very sporty and outgoing but the moment he started university he couldn't handle it and now can't go anywhere thats too far from my grandma's house. So her situation was simply anxiety

Well let's hope that's the case. And sorry to hear about your uncle's circumstances.

That sounds pretty common for high achievers in high school who go to uni for the first time. Usually it's more about gifted kids going to top colleges and realizing they're nothing special.

Sometimes less is more but the author usually do give it to us bit by bit.

 

[radstylix]

We'll find out eventually. It's bad storytelling to just dump someone's lifestory and in real life you just look like a crazy person.

 

[Candymon]

I can relate to her situation, where after university the workplaces I went through chewed me up and spit me out. My case isn't as severe as hers, as I moved into a small old apartment by myself instead of moving back in with my parents (I haven't told them much), but it's been such a relief to finally have the space away from toxic places and people for the past four years. Am I still embarrassed about things? Yeah. And it took much longer for me to come to terms with my situation than I'd like to admit. But instead of running off to wherever society pushed me to go (sometimes even off metaphorical "cliffs"), it feels so much better to wander at my own pace and actually enjoy the journey.

 

[Dariark]

Her hair really shows how messy is the state of her mind right now~
I just hope it's not that kind of traumatic experience. I read the tags, but I'm just too weak for that kind of development.

At this point I half suspect she'd discovered in uni that he had been her rock and without her closest friend she ended up alone in uni + the rest of chapter 18.
