Who? The friend? I don’t think she was bad, she was honest and straightforward with it. Maybe she can be seen as bad for leaving her friend, but I don’t think so, especially not a child. Being friends with someone that suffers from depression easily transfers over that negative energy and affecting them as well. It is sad but you cannot expect friends to act as a psychologist for you.What a bitch
That’s definitely what she needs. To start with someone that would just listen to her would be great, as we see here that she doesn’t feel like she can talk to her mother about things. Bottling things up will only make things worse in the long run.I want to give her a hug and a proper therapist
I wonder about the motives of that overwork.Guessing she overworks like crazy
It's listed as one series on Pixiv. I'm going to report the alternate Mangadex entry since it's just causing confusion.Isn't this scenes from the prequel manga?
I think some authors go overboard with the amount of suffering they inflict to their characters, as if they felt a need to reach a certain threshold of misery to carry a point across. I mean, it's easy to add multiple scenes of hardcore bullying, parental abuse or romantic rejection, to the point it looks artificial and becomes hard to relate to.tbh I expected things to be even worse, somewhat happy it's not what I thought.

The average person's troubles tend to be less spectacular than that, so I think a subtler touch with implied imagery is a good fit here.
does seem harsh but it is odd that she's saying 'stay away from us' when she's not even the one crying, unless they just wanted an excuse to exclude her from the friend group, we don't know if the friend crying would've forgiven her/been wiling to move on unless she said something super harsh assuming she lashed out (tho she seemed to have the lethargic kinda depression as opposed to the manic kind where she'd do something 'risky' bc someone not caring if they live or die)Who?

I agree. Her friend actually "broke up" their friendship in a very mature way. Stated why with no blaming, and set boundaries. Pretty surprising for someone their age.Who? The friend?

She was definitely bad, just not the explicit kind. Words hurt, and hurt even more for someone who is suffering, their brain will just turn the most simple friendship end as the biggest deal of their life and something that will scare them from developing new bonds because they're worried "its gonna be the same as with X-chan". It's true that no one is responsible for "strangers" but lacking the empathy of making it a slow cut, transitioning back to classmates slowly n stuff instead off just throwing away someone who thought of you as a friend for who knows how long because of 1 thing is just cutting open the wound but blaming the bacteria for making it hurtWho?

From the little they said we can infer that this is not the first time our magical girl has hurt one of her friends in similar way, and it looks like that girl was really hurt by whatever happened as she keeps crying in the background. Not wanting to be friends with someone who keeps hurting others is reasonable, and it’s not their responsibility to endure that just so she could feel less bad about it. Personally I would find it worse if they just started ghosting her.She was definitely bad, just not the explicit kind.
