She is relatable, yet laughably pathetic in her way of thinking. I don’t hold it against her at all, it is natural to seek revenge in order to get some type of comfort against those who’ve wronged you. Except she targeted any man who gave a damn about her appearance, to make them understand her pain. It is her way of coping with her trauma and the memories of her ugly past. So when she meets Suguru, who doesn’t care about her appearance, she thinks that he is too good for her, and that she isn’t worthy of his love. So pitiful and meaningful, this story really shines light on women’s feelings.
hit to the feels, this deserves at least a 9.0 rating wtf... anyways i love manga that explores childhood trauma and the weight it carries to adulthood. this story was amazing and i think we can all learn something from any one of its several themes and messages.
It's very relatable to want to get revenge on the people that have called you ugly, to prove to them that you aren't. But for her to go so far as to get revenge on ALL men (even those that don't know her) and torture them is far.. but I admire her. She doesn't actually have a bad personality like she said, she was just hurt and scarred. And when she finally met the only guy that liked her for who she is, she felt that she needed to leave because he was too good for her.... I'm sad.
Wow, great. I love it. These complex feelings, this hate, this determination, this turmoil and this love in the end. Incredible how much meaning the author was able to put into this one-shot. And I love the artwork of Harumi sensei. And the end was so touching it almost made me cry.
Very sad, but powerful and meaningful. The story wouldn't have had the same impact with a happy ending, but I wish I could see more of this character. She's interesting, and her story begs to be examined further. Oh well. I wish I could see her ripping out the hearts of those dick guys from before. It kind of reminds me of this horror manga that I found hilarious, about a girl who starves herself to get a guy to like her, and after she gets super skinny, he's into her, but as they kiss, she gets incredibly hungry from starving herself so long and eats him. That's how all guys like that should be handled.
It is not easy to get over a traumatized childhood especially when the cause of the trauma pertains to one's looks. It takes an extraordinary mindset to find one's way out of the shadows of the detested past and the lingering memories. The main lead is someone like that but I think that by hurting other men, she is also hurting herself especially in the case of the last guy she dated. It is like punishing herself and the others for not being loved as she really is. it is too bad that the story revolves only around agony and not salvation.
