From Hoshikuzuu Scans:Rokuse, a janitor who struggles with stuttering, meets Takashina. Takashina is...
Ridiculously absurd. What kind of message is the author trying to say? That it's ok to act out like a teenage girl at a professional workplace because sempai didn't notice you? That it's ok to jeopardize your team's work because of your own personal desire to get close to a work colleague? That it's ok to strike them physically over a perceived slight? And what's even more absurd is that the guy actually APOLOGIZED to her wtf lol he should have sent her ass to HR which is what that behavior deserves. This reads like something written by a teenage girl honestly and it's so so so bad. The author must have no understanding of what workplace etiquette is irl. Also, I've met people who stutter. People. Multiple. I'm almost certain they'd be embarrassed to be portrayed in this way- as this defeated, always so timid, hiding away and always afraid type of person. Most people are resilient and always find a way to rise up beyond their handicap. Yes I imagine they're insecure about it but goddamit they try to make it not awkward for people they interact with. Also, most people never point that shit out out of politeness so it's unrealistic that this kid has gone on living all the while hung up on getting embarrassed as a child over his stutter. Like come on people aren't that fragile ffs. This kid just has a perpetual victim aura like you wouldn't believe and he always uses his stutter as a defense which is absurd and insulting. When you meet someone like this, please have the kindness to tell them that it's not their disability that's the issue, it's their defeated victim attitude that makes them a pain. Society (adult, grown up people society, that is) doesn't have the energy to belittle you for your disability. It's insulting to put your guard up like you're anticipating that every person you interact with is out to emotionally hurt you or something.
