Manaka- don’t you think you went too far?! Everyone in the classroom is too scared to bully and Yumi has been reflecting on her actions with so much guilt!
Aizawa- I see this as an absolute win.
I like that they addressed Manaka’s mentality on what Shiori went through. He preaches taking the high road but, in actuality, that really does so little and even admits that his way of doing things have little to do with Shiori’s sake and is more for keeping the social harmony because of his privileged life of being not bullied. Of course, Shiori never faults him for it and even forgives Aizawa himself for procrastinating on stopping her bullying because of his conflicted feelings on his trauma, but pretty much all of the main cast (sans the bullies and all the obvious toxic adults, of course) admit to and take responsibility for their faults.
Shiori’s mother admits to prioritising her standing with her husband over her own daughter. Yamazaki admits that being around Suzuki has also made her toxic. Aizawa admits he let his prejudices get in the way of doing the right thing by Shiori. Yumi admits that she didn’t communicate her resentments on her life’s circumstances and vented them in the wrong way. Manaka admits that maybe his way of viewing how to handle Shiori’s bullying might have been a little shallow and idealistic (Manaka was so quick to make assumptions all series too. He never apologised to Aizawa though for labelling him a creep at the start though).
This series is so great and though we’ll probably never get the final volume, I’m happy.
