Doesn’t matter, the point is he still was beaten haha. Also he was beaten till bloodied, that is not right at all (not saying you said it’s right, just adding it here).
He didn’t give just one punch but multiple unnecessarily. And to cause bleeding, yeah Skylar went too far. Both were wrong clearly but readers love to pick and choose.
i mean to be fair it looks like he tells cirrus to stop repeatedly but he doesn’t and skylar hits him like 3 times. and generally manga artists draw blood and bruises to just depict that they have been hit, not necessarily to show the severity of it. still not okay but i’ve seen waaaayyy more people making skylar out to be evil when cirrus went just as far, maybe even more so, especially with the controlling behavior AND chucking him in the neck with a cup AND clearly not respecting his boundaries at all
What do you mean that authors draw blood and bruises to depict they have been hit? Not to show the severity of it? Well it is showing the severity so I don’t get what you’re saying.
Idk about who’s worse and who isn’t but I do know that they’re both wrong and Skylar didn’t help by triggering Cirrus’s trauma by beating him up while knowing Cirrus has trauma related to physical abuse.
Whereas Cirrus didn’t know and unintentionally hurt Skylar. As for the controlling behavior, I agree he went too far as much as Skylar did. I just don’t promote physical violence. And Skylar has a habit of hitting even before Cirrus threw a soda can/juice at him.
i mean literally what i say?
ofc i also think they’re both in the wrong but i also see so much of excusing cirrus’ actions because of his obsessive attachment to skylar.
i also don’t agree that cirrus was completely innocent in bringing up what happened in middle school. he’s not dumb he obviously knows something hurtful happened in middle school that skylar doesn’t want to talk about. it’s also been shown that he’s extremely manipulative. so it’s not an oopsie by any means imo.
still not okay to hit him with a bottle tho.
The author clearly showed the severity of it so yes. I think you’re confusing explanation vs excusing. There may be some excusing Cirrus’s behavior but there are also those who excuse Skylar’s behavior. So it’s not just cirrus fans.
I never said Cirrus was innocent. I’m just saying he doesn’t know the severity of Skylar’s trauma to realize the full picture. Nor did I say it’s okay to hit him with a can of soda/juice.
if you know it’s not okay to hit something with a bottle then shouldn’t it be obvious that skylar punching cirrus multiple times (check the sound effects, there’s multiple POWs) until he’s bruised and bloody is wrong? it doesn’t matter what cirrus said, that doesn’t excuse skylar literally assaulting him instead of using his words

i just read ch101 and omfg you guys in the comments made it seem like skylar just straight up started beating cirrus out of nowhere
