Ok I didn’t want to say it either because abuse themes are a heavy topic, and I didn’t want to seem insensitive, but it really is the stupidest shit ever. So instead of telling the guy who LITERALLY already likes you that you like him back, you ditch him and hook up with a new guy in high school and stay with him until he becomes an abusive asshole. And when the sweet guy who likes you comes back into your life, you chose to stay WITH the asshole until even he feels sorry for you and has to kick you out? Shit is crazy man, I just don’t get it.
Like genuinely can’t even sympathize with him cause he’s not even financially dependent on the bf or something, he COULD walk away if he wanted to but his stupid ass just takes it with a smirk cause he thinks he’s being strong by putting up with it, but the only reason he turned the nice guy down in middle school was cause he stood up for him???? And what it made him feel not strong and made him scared of getting used to being helped???? But he’s now used to being beaten instead and THATS a fine thing to get used to? and he turns down the nice guy down WITH THE SAME EXCUSE?? it’s hard to even root for their relationship when he’s so dumb
Honestly I agree
I really didn’t like yumis character, there was absolutely zero growth
this whole thread is disgusting. Yumi is a victim of domestic abuse. In the big year of 2025, so many people still being so uneducated about this topic and the victim blaming is just blowing my mind. Let me break it dow for u insensitive, horrible people. When ur in a toxic relationship, ur usually tied down by a feeling of nostalgia. this is more than just "oh but there's a nice guy, why doesn't he just pick him". Most victims in real life don't get out of this situation unless there is professional help (which in yumi's case, there was none) or if their abuser "releases" them. In Kan's spin off, he got shown some perspective so that's why he let go of yumi.
And also he didn't just "ditch" mayama for a new guy in HS, because of miscommunication he thought Mayama ghosted him...Mayama thought that too, the only reason Mayama didn't get someone else is because he had fully developed crush on Yumi, but yumi didn't HAVE to reciprocate.
Yumi had the most amount of growth in this entire manga. He thought he would be tied to Kan, but left Kan as soon as Kan broke up with him. He wasn't clinging onto the relationship like before and he left and started opening himself up to the idea of being loved/loving again.
*sigh idk what more to say to u people, hopefully u educate urselves from now on and stop victim blaming. I hope u don't do this to abuse victims IRL*
the ONE THING THAT I AGREE WITH that was said was how it's stupid that they made Kan seem like the "good guy". And the amount of people praising him in the CS for doing that forgetting he's a whole ABUSER is crazy
This is the dumbest shit ever I swear
Bro is repeatedly refusing kindness from the only person that is trying to DO something when he sees someone mistreated while everyone else is looking the other way (ehm the dumb boss that knows his bf hits him and she’s still like “haha just don’t fight” and still gushes and calls him a good bf over dropping yumi off at work on his bike?? Like wooow what an angel give him an award) in the name of “I don’t wanna be pathetic” like I have some news for you, you ARE pathetic and you’re stupid, do you think you’re being strong and brave cause you’re willingly staying in that situation??? I dOnT WaNnA Be PiTyABlE then STAND UP the fuck are you with him for?? You’re scared of getting used to being helped and treated well but it’s fine getting used to being thrown around and used like an ashtray, use your brain a bit and answer what is better to get used to we’re waiting
And in the end he couldn’t even do the “strong” thing of leaving him and somehow the abusive guy is the “good guy” letting him go??? Like he never got to do a “strong” thing like he keeps preaching, there’s no character growth, if the bf hadn’t dumped him he probably would’ve stayed with him so WHAT WAS EVEN THE POINT and in the end he didn’t even take it into his own hands to go after mayama, M was still the one to come find and confess to him and he wouldn’t have gone after him if mayama hadn’t SO IM PISSEDDDDD life just happens to him and the only time he speaks up is to push away something good
Anyway BRO LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME THE MAYAMA FACE IN CH4 AFTER YUMI IS LAUGHING AT HIM FOR COMING EARLY, LOOK AT ME AND TELL ME HE DOESNT LOOK LIKE A SIMS 2 CHARACTER
