The victims and perpetrators responses (in my limited knowledge) are realistic, like someone said unfortunately stuff like this does happen, so I do like that about this manga, ESPECIALLY how in the end it shows the MC isn't actually happy, he's just hurt and learned how to mask better
I COULD be wrong and I could be over analysing/giving the author too much credit, but I actually don't think it was rushed at the end or that it took a sharp turn, I think the MC was in a VERY dark place and he got better but he was no where near healed. I think he really did just learn how to mask better (partly for his dad and a little for his friend), he's able to "function in society" now but u can tell at the end that he's consumed by guilt, convinced himself that he likes his abuser, and not actually happy
THAT SAID, AHHHHHHHHH I WISH IT DIDNT END LIKE THAT!!!!!! I really wanted MC to get better, I wanted MC and the step bro to never see each other again, I wanted the step bro to get the help that he needs and also be held accountable, wanted the best friend to grovel a bit more (MAYBE get with the MC), I WANTED THE MC TO BE HAPPY!!!!!!
sidenote: sorry mom character, I thought u knew what was going on so I STRONGLY disliked u, but now I see that she DIDNT actually know what was going on and actually tried to help when u found out, also LOVE how the author was like "helping ur friend is great and all, but sometimes ppl need professional help" (obvi this was a bad example, BUT STILL ADVICE IS STILL VAILD!!)
