also: I don’t know why she was sent back to the past. Maybe it’s because she deserves to go and fix the things she regretted. Maybe it’s because of some supernatural stuff. Or maybe it’s because it was in order to save not only her future, but also everyone else’s.
Like imagine her friend’s future is she didn’t regressed? Her childhood friend would probably become socially isolated due to his old photo being posted online, his section making fun of him, and his only friend—distancing away from him. Her first girl friend—would’ve probably grown up to become a person who embarrass people online just to make herself feel better. The classmate who’s always absent—probably would really drop out, focus on multiple part time jobs in order to support his siblings, and would sacrifice his education for his family. And so much more.
She’s a blessing for everyone there. I wonder what the real explanation for her regression though.
Maybe its because I’m older compared to them, but if I was in their position in my current age (yk the problem or having fights with friends or classmates) I probably would’ve just cut them off and move on with my life. Like, I just couldn’t be bothered dealing with any of that stress or emotional drama.
That’s why, I think this manga is so pure and beautiful. It shows how people learn to navigate through friendships, through ups and downs, and forward their lives. When friends fight—some give their-self time to think things through, some will just run and face it immediately, some just needed push in order to face it, and how each people face it is simply beautiful. They fight, they talk things through, and they make up. And its fine if you no longer want to be friends with the people you fought with after reconciling—being friends isn’t everything, just knowing that you’re no longer enemies is enough.
I think that part about this story is a thing that some of us adults no longer go through which is why it’s beautiful to see it presented here. (i now feel super old with how i phrased everything…)
