| The panels were beautifully done, but that POS father blaming Toki for his daughter's injuries triggered me hard. That's something I never understood about Japanese culture: why would a teacher be responsible for students after hours if it's not a school sponsored event? |

| I feel bad for Toiki sensei, but I don't like how she called the Chidori students creatures. Sure they have some bad apples like those kids who were "teasing" Mikami and Matsukasa, but from what I'm gathering Mikami tried to protect Matsukasa, so labeling the entirety of Chidori as "creatures" is just wrong. The father was in the wrong for blaming the school and Toiki sensei for the situation cause it was outside of school hours, and he should've just taken legal action against the kids who pushed her. Demonizing the whole school, both Chidori and Kiyoko is wrong and the father should've known better. Great chapter regardless and I'm glad we finally get an explanation about the incident that caused this whole mess between the schools. Mikami is fine in my eyes, and the true villain here is that pretentious father who didn't even bother to find out who he should actually blame. |
| Falling into the Romcom hole. Shonen still my favorite tho. |
| What a massive waste of time, this is what the drama was all about? What a lazy, disappointing writing, this arc needs to end. This manga too, before it gets really fucking bad. Such a shame. Panels do be peaked tho. |

| As a beginner teacher, Toki didn’t have the shoulders to withstand such a blow. She believed there was hope, but it vanished after the revelations. That said, if this is the trauma that explains why the present turned out this way, I find it a bit "light". I was expecting a tragedy involving a death, but it’s probably better to leave it at that. |

idk why people saying shi like it's "terrible writing", "arc is bad", "better left vage", etcetera. I mean, it truly is good thing it was like this.
1. the thing about the reaction being disproportionate was the whole point, sensei is a bit of an unstable person and we saw that the whole arc and these 2 chapters of flashbacks, she is very shy and can't handle chatting with lots of people since their grandparents died. If you put a person like that in a situation where a close friend gets injured that badly, they feel guilty and then the dad gets mad at you because something that wasn't their fault but they feel guilty about it and then get told that she is gonna transfer, it's obvious that they wouldn't be in a pretty good spot about the situation
2. Those students of chidori were all ah 😭, yeah, the guy went and said sorry to the dad but then at the end of the chapter he doesn't seem conflicted at all and said that he doesn't care anymore after saying that they won't be in a relationship with those kind of people. Bro, they discriminated against the students of kikyo and yeah, it isn't all of them, but even the group of rintaro said that there were some people still doing these kinds of things, it's normal they got in that relationship between the 2 schools, it's a safe measurements but even then both sides of students still thinking like that because of the adults that instilled those kind of thoughts and we even saw that in the past of the manga with those violents interactions at the very begging
3. We all saw since the presentation of toki she is very influential in kikyo, if she is unstable about chidori I think it's obvious they're gonna have a bad relationship with chidori because of she. Why am I saying she is very influential? well, you see. In her WHOLE PRESENTATION we saw that students love her (I guess it's since she admitted that she is a very nervous person) and she seems like a bestie to the principal, if she's saying during classes that chidori is bad students obviously are gonna believe her easily because of her reputation, but as we saw in the whole manga that's as easy to defeat if you meet with another student of chidori far from school without knowing and he is a good guy
4. lastly I wanna talk about it isn't "a big deal", someone got badly injured and may get a problem on the shoulder for the rest of her life, I know it isn't sexual harassment or something like that but wym it isn't a big deal??? if you got bullying every day for a whole year to a big chunk of students and then someone got badly injured because of the same guys bullying from the very beginning it's gonna be a big deal 😭. And then saying it could be bigger?? I know we came from mangas like kaguya-sama, where the families were fighting like crazy (I didn't like it but it is another story), but these are normal students in school, it's not like we are doing ww3 or something like that because of 2 schools Jesus Christ.
to sum up, I don't respect people who don't like this writing and think it isn't a big deal because I'm pretty sure they don't care about bullying at all and they didn't get the attention span to enjoy this wonderful manga and understanding why this truly is a good writing that got it's bases from every single arc we saw beforehand. Yeah, I'm mad about some people at MAL, so what? this is my opinion about that.

| @Edward7215 Some people are making way too big of a deal out of this, saying things like “the manga should end because of it,” which is just stupid. At the same time, it’s also not very insightful to say you don’t respect people who didn’t like this writing choice. I still love this manga and think it’s one of the better romance series I’ve read, but I also didn’t like this reveal. It felt a bit melodramatic and not as grounded as the manga has usually been, which is something it’s done really well up to now. It’s okay for people to disagree and give criticism, but going overboard on either side doesn’t really help anyone or lead to meaningful discussion. |
| Right. Well it wasnt as severe as I thought it was. With how they've all reacted to this I was expecting someone to have been killed. Im 50/50 on my thoughts now. On one end I understand why the teacher personally hates Chidori so much but from a school standpoint that was two students. I mean yes from what it sounds like there was definitely more rougher students but it doesnt sound like there was ever any major incidences and from how they describe the incident it was the boy fighting back against the two, then accidentally bumping into her and her falling. If they reveal more info to say it was intentional then that changes it but so far they havent said that. It feels like too drastic of a shift to full school lockdown away from them and this overall hatred for chidori as a whole. Especially the level of hate we see from students during the early chapters. Like they brainwashed them into hating the idea of Chidori. Tbf though Ive hated this conflict from the get-go and am only in this for the cute romance which is why Im glad this conflict has so far only ever had two major dramas. When Subaru initially found out, and this here. Other then that its been cute wholesome highschool romance. (Plus I guess when the other girls found out but I class that as minor) I just hope after this we get back to the cute stuff but Im getting the feeling this series is coming to a close especially with it being now 173+ chapters. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| so this was it? the big reveal? kinda lackluster, i expected a heavier backstory with more involvement from toki-sensei given her super strict demeanor and stance on the two schools' relationship. But also very in line with the whole manga, everyone is overly apologetic, unrealistically and annoyingly so, so i can't say this was a complete surprise |
