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.
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 she'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.
It is so hard to forgive yourself, it doesnt matter if you just say it.
Trully doing so and feeling free from guilt is not easy.
I feel for this girl so much.
