Shoujo mangas are like that. They let the girl be treated bad only for the sake of the plot at that moment
I remember there's this one manga that the girl literally got bullied and treated like shit and if I remember correctly she did get raped (?) and she literally forgave everyone and didn't seem fazed at anything that would happen to her.
Woah, that's....... terrible!! Why do they do this for??
Well, you could take the nasty route and just say "it's way easier to wrap it all up nicely".
Or you could try a nihilistic approach and counter with "ah hey, when even the father of a Rapist calls the rape of an unconscious (!) girl " 20 minutes of action" for which his son shouldn't be so harshly punished, then how are mangakas and writers supposed to right (t)his wrong".
Or you could try shutting both eyes and ears adamantly and persist on "but it's just fiction, this wouldn't go down like this in reality at all".
I guess (in my humble opinion), we all like our (fictional) stories in a different fashion, which is all fine and well. But since we're all different, there's some things that move us differently, some things we can' t overlook or chalk up to "that's how the story goes" and that's still fine, I guess.
If anyone longs for a more realistic approach to Nike's looming PTSD - that would be an arc in itself. Not funny, sweet, cute or thrilling.
"the arc where Nike tries to gain control over the water coming out of her eyes"
That was very poetic, and it makes sense thank you
So, just saying..... is she gonna act like she didn't almost just got raped??? I love nike but if the manga artist makes her go right back to normal I won't be happy, if it was me I'd at least stick close to Livi and get very anxious if separated even for a a minute if that happened to me...
