This manga scratched an itch in my head I didnt know needed to be scratched, but at the same time its just ass. I dont know if the author wants us to believe that shiinas friend is selfish and wrong or if that is how the main characters see her, but it feels so contradictory to see a character be portrayed in a negative light when they speak nothing but facts. Shiina just wants to kill herself for no reason other than the fact that death is edgy and cool. I dont condone bullying but I really dont feel bad for her when she gets called a freak. People dont just start murdering animals because their mom told them to seek death. Its actually cartoonish, who tries to kill themselves because they "want to die". She just wants to die for the sake of dying. Its incredibly selfish to use the murder and torture of other living beings to substitute for your desire and "lack of ability" to kill yourself. I'm not saying she should, but if she has time to go to an abandoned school to murder animals and people, she has time to kill herself. Shiinas friend is not to blame because she cant and will never accept her. Who in their right mind would stand back and watch their friend torture animals for fun? Thinking that death is so cool and "supremacy" is frankly an insult to the living and people who actually commit suicide. People dont kill themselves because its fun and cool, they do it because they feel theres no way out. People dont kill themselves because they want to die, they do it because they dont want to live anymore. Its painful, and every frame shiina shows up in feels like I had my face spat on. I hate the MC even more. He can just watch Shiina break a womans fingers and barely does anything, he has no right to act morally superior towards her friend. How is Shiina surprised that people who decide to commit suicide are scared of being stabbed in the stomach?? Loving someone doesnt mean accepting everything they do, it entails changing eachother for the better.
