With them still having about a year and a half of high school left before they can leave for college, the best solution given the current circumstances would be for Kurumi to give Naoi the spare house key she got back from Kokoro and let Naoi live with her at her house. That way it'd be way easier for Naoi to save money for their eventual move out plan, because Kurumi's mom is sending Kurumi enough money each month to support the basics. Clearly Naoi has had to completely fend for herself since her dad left at the start of volume 5.With the financial burden and parental issues, I think Naoi and Kurumi are going to eventually try and move out together in the future. Idk how that will work though.
Whilst I know it isn’t the end of it (as long as the manga keeps going) I think it’s at least put a pin in it for the time being. Kurumi knows when a situation doesn’t need to be touched, and the only real reason that she and Naoi were involved is because they were easy scapegoats in Mine’s mission to manage Isanuma. But, whilst Isanuma is quite naive, she isn’t stupid. Her and Mine’s situation isn’t viable long term and cracks will start to show. And who is the only person Isanuma could turn to at that point? Kurumi. And then Kurumi will have to decide whether or not to intervene.I felt a sense of dread through the entire Mine interaction knowing that it wouldn't be the end of it. Kurumi chosing to deliberately not tell Naoi about it just reinforced that dread.
Honestly think a lot of this stems from how Horie-sensei was handling his classroom. Covering up conflicts to make himself look effective is going to result in dysfunctional conflict resolution, so any sore spots just start festering over time.I’m starting to think that the school stuck all the crazy people in one class cus literally everyone has screws loose
Thanks for the tl
I totally agree that most of the conflicts regarding the main cast in this story are exasperated by the adults around them and that this is one of the core principles of this story, this can be seen in the very first chapters of this story where it shows us the consequences of the stifling of one’s will, high expectations, and the fear of letting people down and in are mcs case the results of doing so, and how all of these things can be caused by the adults in the lives of children. regarding the teacher he did make most of the problems between the students much worse and his behavior towards his students was Inexcusable, but was not the sole reason for the bullying or exhaustion the main character felt in the beginning of the story. I do believe that some fault does lie with the students themselves (excluding the relationship between the student and the teacher that was entirely his fault) even if the cause of these problems are the adults and I wasn’t trying to imply that the girls are inherently Anti Social I do think that any problems they might have with there mental health is caused by there parents inability or refusal to properly take care of their children, me saying that these girls have problems is in no way saying that it’s there fault or that they are just that way. really liked hearing your response to my comment tho even if it was supposed to be taken as a joke and was regarding both the teacher and the students given I said “ crazy people” and not “crazy students or kids” so thank you for taking the time to respond to me.Honestly think a lot of this stems from how Horie-sensei was handling his classroom.

Like the scene where Kurumi snaps in front of the whole classroom had a long buildup of obvious bullying that Horie was trying to ignore because he was "dating" the bullies. Naoi started pushing Kurumi to stop being a wallflower because Horie decided to push an inconvenient task off on one of his students so he could flirt with some of his other students. There are so many points where those conflicts could have been addressed before it escalated to that point.
It's easy enough to just say the girls have screws loose, but I think putting it that way makes them out to be inherently anti-social. The writing's gone through a lot of effort to show where the adults in their lives failed them or trained them to deal with their problems in ways that make those problems worse. They're basically just teenagers who haven't learned how to handle problems like adults, and the classroom looks crazy because their teacher wasn't acting like an adult, either.
Kurumi has shown signs of being physically attracted to Naoi since chapter 2. Though Naoi offering to free her/destroy it all together in chapter 5 is what made Kurumi genuinely infatuated with her, that I'd say later bloomed into friendship then love as Kurumi got to know Naoi more. Naoi on the other hand, as implied by one of the volume 3 bonuses, seems to be at least in part using Kurumi as an emotional substitute for Mona. It's possible Mona coming into the story is meant to help Naoi sort out her feelings, so that she gets a clearer idea of what she feels for Kurumi without projecting other things onto her.Kurumi being "in love" is a bit forced imho. Feels a lot more like attachment than love.
