The one I actually hate is kawai. She's improved at the end of the Manga but God was she painful to watch.
Yeah same
She is so narcissistic and the sad fact is we don't even know if she's going to truly change considering how she likes to victim-blame herself.
I don't hate Ueno as much as other commenters seem to. She escalate situations until it's serious and need to be adressed. Ueno was the one treating Nishi the most like she wasn't disabled, like she was a normal person who simply had a difficulty to hear. I like her!
For one, she's been the most honest through all of the manga. Things she likes, hates, that she's a bad person, she's been super honest.
Also when she said Nishi didn't communicate, it's not that she was pointing out she was deaf. She said she didn't even attempt to tell others what she felt. Ueno was one of the first to point out/know that Nishi was fake smiling and always put the blame on herself, never defending herself like she should have.
People who are sad Yuzuru let her beat Nishi don't understand Yuzuru knows all Nishi's bulies, and that Ueno was the one who acted the most like Nishi is independant. Sure hitting Nishi was bad, even Ueno knows that, but she was prepared to get hit as well, Nishi still has arms to hit with and defend herself (definitively not saying hitting her was ok).
So while Ueno was definitively a bitch, she's one of my favorite character and I'd love to have her as a friend.
