Status

I’m not sold on Shougo being “reformed” tbh. Reading the last page at face value tells you he is but his personality tells me otherwise.

“If it hadn’t been for Fujieda-san vouching for him, he’d likely still be in the dog house.” That right there tells me Shougo would have done anything to prevent himself from becoming an outcast, including saying he loved Yua when it’s obvious he doesn’t. Not to mention he came inside Yua when she told him not to all the while thinking, “I need to pull out, but it’d feel pretty good if I didn’t, wouldn’t it?” He’s only thinking about his own interests.

“It’s almost like their feelings are mutual. Hmm, I sure hope so.” The fact the side characters are bringing up that notion of doubt should tell you something. And in the last panel, Shougo isn’t holding Yua’s hand, just letting it be held, which sums up the relationship IMO. He’s not into it; just there to keep his status.

That last panel. Dude is still a top-tier prick. Fujieda can do way better.

I think it quite interesting to see all the comments here pretending to be high and mighty as if we all wouldn't have done what he did in his situation. Personally I see the class as being as complacently asinine as him, but maybe that's just my age and I don't understand how these kids behave anymore. Everyone involved in this story made me feel sad.

Wow, what a piece of trash her boyfriend is. And for him to shout at her like that in class? That's not something to look forward to in the future.

She's cute though. I hope she really does dump his ass someday. Prick.

Get his ass

I'm surprised his face is still intact after acting like a complete jackass for so long

Quite the rollercoaster this story was, it's a shame hentai in anthologies are so limited by page number. I feel like the MC could've gotten a little more of his just desserts before "changing".

Hopefully we get a sequel to see if Shougo changed or he just played lip service so he can continue hitting that honey pot and keeping his status at school.

Another time, place and artist, this could have gotten really ugly. Luckily (for him), Shougo was able to correct himself and start treating Yua as more than merely a status object.

"Bad End" barely averted (this time) ... in the long-term, we hope so.

But he was a dick at least he changed for the better.

Damn... this girls nearly ruined his life... And her tears... they were hurting my heart...
