He can't just beat Eno... Eno has the whole school on his side. No one cares about Karino because they're not scared of him while Eno blackmailed every single person there. Karino also underestimated Eno. He believed that his acting was working while Eno already knew what Karino was doing.
Oh, I don’t remember the blackmail part! Do you remember when that was mentioned? That could make a lot more sense but even so, I feel like his acting was way too out of character considering the Karino we had seen in other chapters like almost cowardly.. even in ch34
Apparently it's in chapter 34 but I don't think it was felt in the translation of the chapter. When Karino is talking to other members in that room they refuse to say anything because they're scared. Karino isn't a coward but , like Ogawa said, he was influenced by Azusa. He became a bit too naive. It horrible of me to say but I loved chapter 34 and even though I despise Eno he finally said something that our main couple needed to hear. "Falling in love with a target" I think it only then clicked to them both. I have no idea what's going to happen next.
Even after reading chapter 34 i can’t for the life of me think of how someone as smart and manipulative as Karino didn’t just get rid of Eno instead of needlessly torturing Azusa because he thought he was “helping” him by sacrificing himself instead.. lmao, honestly he was such a good character and this eno kid totally beat him.. disappointed and upset and not even happy that him and Azusa “reunited”
