“Hurr durr I was betrayed once by a bunch of humans while they were in one of their most emotionally manipulatible ages and states therefore I can never trust anyone but my mom again”
What a stupid fucking reason. Come on author, give us something better than that.

I find that "weak" reason as to why he avoid "committing" social relationship very solid enough.
One day of "betrayal" and going down like that? Yeah... that happens... a lot in reality tbh. Like it happens a lot in children's social circles.
Did MC and his Mother handled it perfectly? Yes and no. Yes as MC got out of that place, who knows if it'll get more toxic or not. Also it is a major no, like what others said above, they just ran away from the problem but... it ain't a bad solution after all. Not the best but clearly not as worse as people make it seem.
I really can't speak for others in this comment section but I've been there both in MC's position and early, the supposed to be the target of bullying's position. So I'm at least relating to him at a personal level. Not that there's any more closeness than that. No harem and no cute Rei afterall... xD
Like @quagzlor said, yeah it f---ing hurts a lot as a kid to actually realized you just got betrayed by those who you trust a lot as a kid. Yeah at that point in life in childhood, I can't even trust even my parents since they basically dig deeper down the rabbit hole and end up making it hard for me back in my childhood days. Even to this day, I still have my trauma against teachers. I'm doing better but definitely not out of it either. I'm just putting a strong facade when interacting with 'em...
@monkey123 I don't know how much s--- you got back in school but I'm sure as hell any other kid would be at least terrified by that kind of s---. At least the least realistic thing about his situation was him not annoying people first to the abandon treatment he got since in this flashback I saw him as a happy-go-lucky yet lackadaisical kind of kid...

One will see "betrayal" his whole live. So what? Even before school I experienced it. Then I just thought "goodbye fucker".

it's hard to know if something similar hasnt happened to you how deep stuff like that cuts into your psyche like even years later you will doubt people and isolation will seem like the easier solution
but I'm more impressed that the ghost seems to be willing to stop her bullshit at this stage like I expect her to be back the wagon next chapter because plot

@monkey123 Just because everyone shit on you and you managed to "deal with it" doesn't mean that everyone else can. Try to look at it from other perspectives.

@monkey123 Then I gotta give props to you. You were a strong kid back then. maji thumbs up
But then, it isn't always like that everywhere. A kid can't just go "bye f---er" and go on with their life, especially with social circles like these that highly emphasizes conformity through the actions of a high authority. It can literally go downhill faster than Sonic trying to kick Saitama. Life's always not fair ain't it?
@endo54 It's the breeding grounds for "I'll destroy the world because she doesn't like me!!" type of villains... hahahaha xD

@monkey123
And that is very likely the reason he decided to refrain from going deep with social relationships, can't get backstabbed if you don't present your back to others.

Manga MC are such BITCHES.
I really hate to belittle anyone's childhood trauma, but as someone that was bullied and ostracized for years without giving up on other people, it's hard not to think, "Wait, that's it?" when seeing Reiji's single day of being failed by his classmates.
In fact, I feel like Reiji's mother immediately transferring him might actually have been more damaging to him than the other kids' actions. It reinforced the notion of avoidance as the right response.

I am pleasantly surprised with this chapter.
The fact that he doesn't have a trauma but trust issues and the way he accepts it is a perfect fit for someone at that age.
HE IS A TEENAGER NOT AN ADULT. T HE LINGERING TRUST ISSUES INSIDE HIM IS VERY NORMAL
The very fact that he accepts how petty it is more adult like.
AND MY BEST GIRL accepted his reasoning without throwing a fit.
I indeed can and will raise my expectations and ratings about this manga.
