Thank you

Who? Rino or Yurina? If Rino, I agree. But I have a suspicion you're talking about Yurina. And it's SAD that you don't realize that you're likely one of the reasons there are people like Yurina, if that's the case, on TOP of how you're being an ableist arse. Blame the victim for fighting back 'TOO' hard or not fighting back, but never task the bully with taking responsibility for their actions. THEN wonder why victims of bullying either internalize the psychological damage the bullies have inflicted on them or attempt to seek revenge or even wonder why the victims are so emotionally confused that they don't which path is emotionally better for them to take. Guess who THAT opinion makes not the 'moron'? Yurina, you say? Then, in that case, DING DING DING, you are FINALLY correct... for ONCE.

honestly I don't remember the manga to this post its been a while also if you have strong opinions put a name I sure as hell wont patronize you for a good opinion "to each his own right" or did you think I would be a bitch about it? this way we can talk more about it in discussion

ok I reread (skimmed) the 1st chapter and I remember and yes I was talking about yurina and I was very blunt but it was because on the type of character she in any shoujo manga ( I was getting tired of it and was looking for a good story but I grew out of this type of manga, it aint personal) I don't know about u but if you were bullied like that and didn't mature in a way to not give a shit about something a kid said years ago then fine but you don't go for idiotic immature cliché revenge and have it back fire on u cause it's been done before ( its like that proverb "he who goes seeking revenge better dig two graves" or "be careful you don't find what it is you seek") (〜￣△￣)〜

I think so, too. ( Just butting in your discussion ╮(￣▽￣)╭ ) I think we all did dumb or bad things when we were small, especially when you are a kid you don't really realize, that you can hurt somebody so much with those words. I think if he/she apologized sincerly that you should let it rest. Keeping that hate won't make you happy either. That doesn't mean you shouldn't fight back as a victim.But in that situation years after there isn't anything to fight back anymore. Just a guy who wants to be forgiven.
That doesn't mean that they need to become best friends forever( I would understand if she doesn't want to see him again) but to just keep the past being the past.
To get you revenge and hurt/bully somebody who bullies you makes you two the same (again this doesn't mean you shouldn't fight back, but there is a difference between fighting back because you are in a stuation where you are bullied and 'getting revenge' years after)

*somebody who bullied you

let the past be the past that's exactly what she didn't do and why I called her stupid, I understand trauma but time heals wounds but if your still wound up u clearly need professional help right?

id also like to point out that ive never seen bullying before in my life and I'm 20

In the case of Takaya, him being sincere and wanting to apologise and be forgiven was not good enough. He’s clearly still arrogant, selfish and immature.
All his actions that are considered selfless (such as waiting for a long time at the station for her) were actually quite selfish. There were more about getting closer to her and less about helping her move on. He showed concern about her wellbeing (e.g. being worried that she may have gotten into an incident) only when he is not the one who caused the suffering.
At no point did he did anything that shows that he’s at least trying comprehending what she had gone through. The closest thing he did to that was in Chapter 2 when he said that he is sorry of what she had to go through and he will make it up to her. It was said in an insincere manner and it’s done mainly to further their relationship rather than any reconciliation. He acted taken aback when the subject of what he put her through was brought up, as if there’s something wrong with her if she didn’t forget her trauma in a split second. Essentially, he was still belittling her trauma (until end of chapter 4/start of chapter 5, after she ranted at him) and he never properly apologised in the first place.
I hate the fact that she was trying to get revenge (although I’m not angry at her because I sympathize with her) but I think it’s important to call him out on all the things mentioned above and that his change in character from childhood is, in a way, not complete and not to the extent that it’s good enough (because of what’s mentioned above).

I agree she should move on but there’s a difference between saying one should just move on and saying the same thing whilst belittling her trauma. Though you had said you understand trauma, I think your tone implied that you don’t and that you are downplaying what she had gone through. I don’t think that was your intention but tbh I find it hard to interpret it any other way (and the fact that you mentioned you were never seen bullying before kind reinforced that interpretation). I also hated the fact that Yurina tried to get revenge, but I won’t be angry at her (or call her stupid or a bitch) for that because I felt for her for what she went through, although someone should have stopped her.
Whilst she shouldn’t have gotten revenge, I think it’s important to call out on Takaya (Yurina did this in end of chapter 4) that while he was sincere in making apologies he was still selfish and arrogant. He changed since childhood, but one may argue that his change was incomplete. He didn’t even try to express any intention of wanting to empathise what she had gone through. He acted self-entitled as if there’s something wrong with her if she didn’t instantly forget everything he did to her in the past. The times he showed concern for her were when he wasn’t the source of her predicament. His actions were all more about him advancing his relationships with her rather than about helping her move on. Those were not the behaviour of someone who wants to apologise.

when I talked about "getting trauma" I was referring to the understanding that yes there are dark things that prevent people from moving on or reacquiring thoughts that impair peoples decisions. And yes I did belittle her "trauma" if u could even call it that when I think of trauma I think of the serious shit like rape battery and assault so yea it was belittled
a bunch of elementary school kinds even if there were chants I still don't think it serious,
her parents should have been aware and received counseling like a normal person
or are u telling me that if this was your kid u would have been oblivious?
theoretically she should have been fine and a strong independent women at the time of her new age
hell children with cancer or no legs or arms are born and get ridiculed and in the end when there adults end up being really strong people saying they wouldn't change how they look
her shit doesn't even compare to real struggles
