This has to be one of the worst series ever. The characters are a disaster; Kiyo just doesn't make any sense as a protagonist, there is just no god damn emotional development, just absolutely nothing. He is just dead. The Antagonists (Nagumo in particular) are an absolute joke who do nothing to improve his emotions or even draw out a chirp from Kiyo's heart. They are just there to be edgy, useless and one dimensional. Koenji is just a boring narcissistic Gary Stu who never does anything apart from being a childish hindrance to those around him. I am so tired of hearing how perfect and flawless he is. Who gives a fuck about a flawless character? They just do nothing to influence the main character in any shape or form. They are completely irrelevant to him.
The Girls are dogshit who have no meaningful development or personality. Kiyo's so called girlfriend knows excatly what kind of broken person he is, yet she refuses to do anything to improve the situation and his life in general. She is just holding him on a leash, knowing that he would never abondon her on his own. How can anyone call this love? He should kick this parasitic bitch out asap. Horikita is the one exception, and I really hope she and Kiyo continue to develop some kind of meaningful relationship with each other. But sadly I can't get my hopes up. The author is just incapable of doing anything to improve this whole nonsense. No, now that Kiyo has finally showed some kind of reaction to anyone, of course he must transfer to another class. Why, god damn?! It just doesn't make any sense! If these kids are supposed to be the future of Japan, it's a sad one indeed. It's like Kinugasa doesn't fundamentally understand how to write a story that makes any kind of sense, or what that even means. Or how relationships even function or what character development is. They are all in their own echo chamber and it's all so stupidly random. I can absolutely understand that he is getting a lot of hate for this garbage. Please, the only thing I want to see in this series is for someone to save Kiyo from himself and give his life some kind of meaning. It's just unnecessary painful. I really regret wasting so much time on this. It's getting worse with each volume. |

Volume 12 came out this week. The reactions are mixed but still a good volume. There are a lot of shocking things that happened; both good and bad. I definitely did think Ayanokouji was going to THAT to Ichinose after her examination against Horikita. If there’s any spoilers, post it (even if it’s short).

Yeah, she's disgusting. They say she offered Kiyo physical relations with her if he didn't participate in the exam. But that kind of thing was expected of her, for me the biggest disappointment was Kanzaki begging Horikita to give up the exam.

It was the last exam of the year.
It was an exam similar to the one in volume 4 year 1. At a certain point in the exam, Kiyotaka and Ichinose face each other. Kiyotaka expels Maezono (someone from his own class) and then begins to show his true colors to Ichinose. He says that everything he had done for her so far was for his own benefit and that he had only used her. She is mentally destroyed. As an additional point, Chie (Ichinose's teacher) says that if he loses the exam on purpose, she would give him privileged information or could start a physical relationship with him. And when Ichinose defeats Horikita, she cries and he hugs Horikita, something similar to what he did with Kei. A lot happened, but Kiyo revealing himself to Ichinose was the most striking point of the volume |
