I'm glad he managed to get out of the toxic relationship, what's really sad is that this hideous relationship has been going on since kindergarten, she had him waiting on hand and foot for years until finally he was hospitalized. If anything, that's a message from the universe stating, you need to leave or you aren't gonna make it into your 30s.
Exactly. Thankfully, our boy took that lesson to heart and dumped her abusive ass. Im also glad the author didn't try the redemption route and instead introduced an actual love interest.
@@SuicidalOne is it because you said "nah I'd win" that you can beat abuse or is it that you reflect the abuse back at itself to beat it? Then you said "throughout suffering and oppression, I alone am the abused one!" So I say " so if you are the abused one, wouldn't you loose? " Then you say " Nah I'd Win"
That teacher, a new one at that, really screwed up. What a lot of teachers don't understand is that respect from students isn't given just because they're a teacher, it's given on how they treat students. By doing what she did, she's basically lost all the respect her students had for her. They're not going to take anything she says outside of regurgitating textbook knowledge or facts seriously anymore. They may even resent her, which would be even worse. Basically, her only option is to ask to swap with another teacher now, and take her being stupid like that as a lesson.
Sad to think about how this can be a real thing. It’s also not uncommon. Someone’s being in an authoritative position that’s supposed to be impartial for professionalism’s sake yet having a self-righteous worldview can be a really bad combination. I guess the mangaka is also trying to highlight how ridiculous and counteractive it is to punish a whole class group in order to shame one person. Even though it’s been many years since, thinking back to teachers who took that same approach throughout grade school years always left me baffled. Sometimes it left me with the opposite impression too, and left me sympathetic for any kid the teacher was blatantly bullying by going overboard. It was also very disrespectful in not allowing a private matter to be handled privately between classmates and the teacher, or their parents.
It gives then a dopamine high, similar to crack cocaine, except without the risk of an artificial chemical overdose, where they have to keep doing that more and more, just to recreate the original high.
17:10 "Not everyone who works hard is rewarded, but everyone who has succeed has worked hard." This is truly an important lesson in life. We are always upset with ourselves and beat ourselves up if we didn't get what we felt we were rightfully owed from effort, even at our peak performance, so it is easy to feel jealous of those who get it especially if you believe they worked less than you did, but nevertheless you must remember they come from a different life experience and have still worked hard in their own way with their own set of pressures and limitations they do best to overcome, and so you must still pass on your best wishes that they carry the dream you both shared forward to something greater and meaningful, and at least you get to become friends for having the enthusiasm you both shared to begin with. I could go on but hopefully this makes sense. Thanks for reading my comment if you have.
I personally agree that not everyone who works hard is rewarded, but there are plenty of people who didn’t work for shit who got rewarded just because the dad worked his ass off all the grandpa or their grandma or someone else did all the work and the current person is just writing off their Coat tails
When your girl tries to mold you to their "ideal" type thats a HUGE RED FLAG the reason you got in that relationship in the first place is bc he likes who you are
Its ok for compromises to occur. But its not a compromise unless both sides do so. for only 1 side to do so without somehow benefitting from it goes against the concept. Its forced, 1 sided, unbalanced.
That's not even exactly it. She wasn't really trying to mold the Mc into her ideal type. The reason why she forced him to remain low key and dress up like a introvert was because she didn't want anyone to know that he was actually a giga chad. To put it simply, Hanabi is a dorodere. And She's particularly dangerous Dorodere because of her sadism and sociopathic tendencies. The MC was her possession, her trophy for her to gawk at and play around with. She was getting off on emotionally torturing him and having him under her control. This is why she's so thrown off, confused, and desperate when the MC broke up with her and began showing his true self.
This story feels super cathartic to me. I got out of a years-long abusive relationship a while ago and I'm still recovering from the psychological damage. Even though I'm out of school, I still find this story very relatable with the finding of new friends afterward, and unfortunately also the stalking.
Glad someone isn't suffering like me out there. Guys like us need to bond together to stop the madness. The girl I was crushing on was controlling and manipulative she tried to get me institutionalized, spread lies about me to the teachers saying I was stalking her, etc. She put my family through hell. My mother wanted to slap the fuck outta her. This girl was toxic AF and a pure narcassist. Later found out she was doing drugs after graduation On Facebook. Fucked up situation. Guess she felt bad for what she did. She messaged me on FB one time asking for forgiveness. I'm like you put me and my family through nine times of hell and gave me PTSD, insecurity issues, trust issues, phobia of women, severe depression, and trauma. I told her. FUCK NO.
I know this one. The Mc was really in a toxic relationship with the childhood friend. Since kindergarten she’s manipulated and made him feel useless. Anyone who thinks Mc should go back to his toxic childhood friend is either crazy or insane. She’s not even sorry one bit and is not even redeemable. I’ve seen stories where authors use the FmC’s toxic behavior towards the Mc to create some sad backstory of the FMC and expect readers to sympathize that her toxic behavior towards the Mc is justified
Oh my gosh somebody said it and not just me that was a horrible relationship and there were so many better options like seita and tiffania they were both best girls
I remember reading a bit of this a little over a year ago and I remember someone telling me that they get back together, that's when I stopped. I don't know why or how they got back together but there is no excuse on why they got back together.
@@peacemaker5030 That's one thing I can agree on. To me, I prefer Saito x Tiffania since she has a much kinder personality. I really didn't like the pairing between him and Louise, and wished he ended up with Tiffania instead.
What his ex is just genuinely crazy especially going after his new interest also man this author really hits us with these cold ass one liners with a full page shot
For anyone, wondering no, he does not get back with his childhood friend instead, the childhood friend tries to do something by the end of the story, but if she breaks her leg ends up in the hospital see you later, regrets or action, but the MC straight up tells her to never show her face ever again in front of him. He does not even go to the hospital to visit her. She also gets expelled from school and in the end he gets together with the glass girl
Pretty sure the author must know a lot about narcissistic abuse to write these characters. She displays all the traits of the abuser while he displays those of the victim.
Cliff hanger much mate. Awesome story I can’t wait to see what happens. Part two please I hate unfinished stories as I always wonder what happens in the end
Hana got exactly what was coming for her. She was toxic and obsessive over the guy she supposedly liked. I'm surprised Souma was able to hold himself back so well against her antics. Great story, and Fumi is areally adorable girl.
This story makes me incredibly sad, mostly because I can relate to the main character. I've had problems with self worth for a long time, because I've been told that I suck at everything and was made fun of for my physical appearance so often that I just accepted it. Because if I accept it then it "won't bother me anymore" and if it doesn't bother me anymore then people have no reason to remind me of what's wrong with me. I am unable to accept any compliments given to me (not that it happens often), as much as I appreciate them. I can never accept that I am more than who I think I am and because of that I am unable to change, to better myself. I've been stuck feeling like this for years now and seeing the few friends I've made do well in life makes me happy for them but at the same time jealous that I cannot achieve the same level of success that they have, because I'm not good enough. All I do now is pass the time with anything that will get my mind off of my problems and just hope that something happens that will improve my life. But that's not how life works, if I want something I have to work for it and I know that. But whenever I decide to do something my mind instantly shuts it down because it feels like its too much work for what it's worth and it will likely fail anyway. Because I am me, I can't be happy, I can't do anything right, nothing I do is ever good enough. I am destined to sit around and escape till the day I die. That's why this story makes me sad, because once the main character cut their hair everyone admired how good he looks and became interested in him. But I don't have long hair that covers my face or good looks hiding underneath it. All I have are the things that people would point and laugh at until I gave in. Now I don't know what I'm doing and don't know what I should do. I don't expect random people on the internet to care, and I'm sure I'll get made fun of for venting on a RU-vid video. But I don't care anymore, I just want to vent somewhere and it ended up being here. Sorry for wasting your time and I hope you have a good day wherever you are. Take care.
Hey dude, I'm sorry you feel this way about yourself. I don't really know your life, or what you're like, but I know a lot of people who've felt the way you do right now, and I've even felt similar things myself when I was younger. Since I don't know you, I can't really give you much advice, but I want to encourage you not to give up on yourself. You CAN change. Your environment will definitely be making it harder right now from what I can understand - I'm assuming you're in school, and I can tell you from experience that school is not a great environment to allow someone to grow and change as a person. But I promise you that NO ONE is truly a lost cause. I won't lie to you, change is hard. Especially when you don't see the point, and when you don't think it's possible. But don't give up on yourself. Try and remember that the way the world treats you is NOT a reflection of who you are as a person, it's just a reflection of the kind of environment you're in right now. I know it's easy to think that you're a lost cause, or that no-one else can really understand. But I promise you that there are many others who have felt the same as you, and have made it through and had their life improve. I wish I could help you better, because I know this feeling well. But at the end of the day, the only thing you can really do is keep going, and keep trying to be better, and change for the better, and keep trying to be kinder to yourself. If you can just keep going, I promise you that life will change one day.
@@apollo___ I actually graduated from high school almost 5 years ago now which makes it feel worse. I've had plenty of time to figure things out yet I am almost exactly where I was 5 years ago. All the verbal abuse I received was all throughout middle school and high school and still affects me, as stupid as that sounds. I can't find anything within me of any value and I don't even know what I thought I had way back when. I just exist, and it makes me feel selfish. I understand that nobody will truly know me from just a RU-vid comment and appreciate you trying to help.
@@chipppsinspace1163 As we've both acknowledged, I can't know you through a youtube comment. But what I do know is that things CAN get better for you. You could be a thousand times worse than you are now, and things could still get better. NO ONE is beyond redemption, or growth, or change, or a second chance. I also know that whatever you're feeling is OK. It's not a sign of weakness to be hurt or affected by things around you. You're not weak because the way others have treated you has got to you. These feelings are shared by so many. Know that you are not alone. Keep trying, it's all any of us can do. Even if you feel guilty for existing, keep doing it. Even if you can't find any value in yourself, keep trying to be kind to yourself. Even the worst people in history could be saved, could change. I really believe that. And trust me, you're not worse than Hitler. I know I sound very dramatic, it wasn't really my intention to channel the spirit of a motivational speaker haha. But I just wanted to let you know, a complete stranger who I'll never know nor understand, that I do believe in you. And I want to tell you that you shouldn't give up on yourself.
Same here. She never once loved him and if anyone says she loved him then they’re insane. What she did to him doesn’t even show a hint of love. It’s just toxicity and emotional manipulation
I remember this one. MC broke ties with his toxic childood friend, became popular and got new friends with maybe the glasses girl being intended as a love intrest
if there's any girls like this, just know: My dad knew a friend that had a cousin that killed himself because of things like this. His girlfriend convinced him into thinking he was garbage, and that "he deserved to die", he killed himself afterwards. That same girl is now in prison for life. I went through a similar experience, but for me, it was all private talk. A group of girls In my old school I went to created a whole hate group chat based just off of how they hated me. The teasing like this got so bad, that I started to get panic attacks, and then I cut off all relations with them and left the school. A few years later, they're still the same people with the same hate group, not advancing 1 millimeter towards anything except evil. Think about how what goes to others, comes back to you. It's not all things that come back to you, a ton good is unpraised, but that doesn't mean it isn't right, it just means that Satan is really distracted with spreading evil. Moral of the story: this is hypocritical because I'm not perfect, but do what Jesus would do
I don’t see how that’s crazy, I dont know much about Shibuya but if it’s anything like a dangerous neighborhood then is it such a surprise to say “Oh duuuude saying as long as it’s not the hood is crrrazzyyyy!” 🤔
Bro why every story like this the secret girlfriend that doesn't tell anyone that she's dating the class nerd always every time must give depression and break the nerd heart and always must give him emotional damage?
Have caught up to current chapter. MC tricks otaku girl into telling the truth on social media. Uses the screenshots to exonerate Best Girl to class. Sensei feels like shit for jumping to conclusions and reinstates class trip/camp. Then MC takes Best Girl to playground to reveal his toxic relationship with EX. Best Girl starts crying and is sad she didn't notice it sooner. MC asks why. Then Best Girl says, "Because I've always loved you." And now it's waiting for next chapter time.
The only problem I have with this argument is well… you know the Balkans right? Especially in villages, we only have one way: every is an asshole so there are no assholes. Edit: or rather ironic assholes.
wait wait a f****** minute she doesn't allow him to buy a freaking double cheeseburger?! she's even more brutal and more unmerciful than I thought like god damn?!
I think the irony of all of this, is that even though Hana is a psychopath... she genuinely does love Soma with all her heart... just in her own evil, miserable way.
Its good my bro dont be an simp like 95%of the boys be an man and if a girl treat you bad leave her immediately its an leason to all boys and girls for the girls:treat your man right For the boys:dont be an simp if she treats you bad leave her and maybe get revenge if she did really bad things
Idk why he thinks his ex is wrong about his classmates. Only the glasses girl expressed any interest in getting to know him before his glow up. His class sucks. They completely ignored him and now want to hang all around him. Glasses girl is the only one that seems like a decent person.
It's so refreshing to see a romance MC that finally breaks out of its shackles of abuse from the girl. The amount of times where romance mangas would romanticize abuse is so irritating(looking at you,Nagatoro). It's definitely the change of pace that I've been waiting for so long.Seeing the MC finally living a carefree and happy life makes it so much better.I also love the drama that occasionally happens between him and the wh*re. Overall,I really enjoyed it
Yeah to Nagatoro's credit, the only real solid "bullying" is in the first couple chapters. Not excusing it mind you, but Nagatoro has had bad experiences with men in the past, hence her treatment of Senpai due to thinking all men are creepy perv weirdos. And then when she realizes she's being shitty she eases up. Everything past that I would just designate as "teasing" rather than full-on abuse and bullying. But she definitely bullied him the first few times they met. Then there's *this* bitch from this story. Hooh.
Who would ever want to stay with someone who instills a toxic and depracating mentality on you? The type of people who manipulates you into thinking you're worth less than you actually are to make themselves look good at your expense should already be a major red flag to you already.
Man im getting sick of these cliffhangers every time I get into one of these Mangas it ends in the best part feeling her to make new freinds is the worst ending its so annoying now I have to wait forever for another recaper to recap this like the lv 1 kid and the beat girl merchant 😠
@@alexdhamp Sadly that's a pretty popular habit with these sort of channels especially those that use voice to text of some sort with a script. They do it mostly to just pump content.
I just realized. Souma is Komi in a sense. Both were not so talkative until a certain change happened. And he makes all men and women blush with his looks and smile so there's that.
The cool thing is their story’s are reversed with Komi being naturally shy and having a good friend group to break her out of her shell souma having to give up on a friend (or rather girlfriend) to get out of his shell
