Aaaaaghh, it's one thing to not be able to stand up for yourself, but to let other people threaten and insult him in front of you??? I just hope Tsumugi solves this one

    Here’s the thing though… it’s true that he did stalk her, so even if she says that it’s okay, they’re not gonna believe her; especially if she said it while her “stalker” is right next to her. By letting them take her home, it seems like she’s giving in, but it actually gives her more ground to stand on, because the implied “threatening element” (Ikkikun) is not present. Now all Tsumugi needs to do is tell her family to cut the bullshit. And given that she is an adult, her parents can no longer keep her at home, so if they try anything untoward; she can choose to cut them out of her life for good.

    Granted, I don’t think cutting her family out is the right choice, because it will only allow the family to perpetuate their beliefs about her situation, which could lead to them causing further harm.

    I agree with you there, my problem was more with the "he was violent with her" part, than the "he's a stalker" part. I think this is a really good plot development and I think something like this needed to happen at some point, I just hope this won't end with him rescuing Tsumugi, but with Tsumugi standing up for herself.

    Aaagh, after the latest chapter, my point stands. Good plot, good character writing, I'm just on a Watsonian level frustrated with Tsumugi. She's trying to cling to every piece of affection in her life, without considering how that might harm her and her loved ones in the long run. Again, good writing, but God is it frustrating

    Mmmm… I don’t think she’s trying to cling to every bit of affection in her life. She just wants to have an amicable relationship with her family, and not have things end in a burning inferno like her past relationships. My guess is that she’s going to try to make things work and then if her parents don’t comply, give them an ultimatum.
