I'd be glad if she change her appearance to her past self. But either way I'm fine.

Some guy got her drunk and broke her in college. If I recall correctly (not gonna go back and find it) she had a sports scholarship. That guy turned her into what she is today and ruined the future that she had to that point. He probably got tired of her once he'd changed so he dumped her to move on to another target.

Or maybe I just read too much of the wrong type of thing.
You might be confusing things. We haven't seen more than a few hints of what happened to her.

I'd say you're thinking in the right direction, but personally I don't think you're going dark enough.

My thoughts are that the first guy who got her drunk and 'had sex' (see also; raped) with her spread it around that she was a lightweight drunk and an easy lay, so the same thing likely happened to her on multiple occasions, to the point that she (unfortunately) got kinda used to being used as a sex toy. Just look at her reaction when they went to karaoke together. She was fully expecting that he had brought her there to have sex, because that's a fairly common use for karaoke booths (at least in hentai) for young people. There were likely some incident(s) that finally broke her spirit and made her drop out of university to come back home, and she's been basically a hikkikomori ever since.

That might also be why she changed her looks and maintains that change, because if you remember, she said that she changed how she looks. She likely doesn't want to see how she "should" look because it would bring up traumatic memories. It's a pretty common coping mechanism.

As someone who also left high school in triumph only to spiral into my own self destructive hell, this manga has a way of punching me in the gut that feels unjustly close to home.

That said, having been helped by others out of the place that spiral left me, watching her slowly climb out as well is similarly uplifting.
Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

As someone who has been where she has been, I hope there will be a next time where we can do our best.

Coming to terms with how things turned out has not been easy, but learning to let go of the past so that we can move forward is such an important step.

It makes me so happy to see folks here cheer her on.

(Thank you)
