He's gonna fall for the prick who turns out has a tragic and beautiful backstory and therefore deserves forgiveness and love, right? Can we have that revelation in like chapter 5? Maybe 4? The earlier the better.
Common sense says, boys that act like assholes because they "like you" don't deserve your time. Don't associate or try to "fix them", you'll just self destroy.
EDIT: chapter 6 huh? Not bad.
While I find this really sweet and I really want to know more about Chiaki's story, I can't help but cringe. Like when the little boy was negging her or at ch 11 when she suddenly brings out a wooden sword. When I was younger and Taiga did it in Toradora I don't remember rolling my eyes, would I be cringing if I were to read that now? Don't know honestly. What I do know is that I'm dropping this, I'm clearly not it's target audience and that's fine, I can see how it's loved by others, hope it brings y'all joy.
That entire first volume was amazing, that's how you open a manga! And at the cost of sounding mean, I read so many mediocre korean manhwas lately that I forgot how beautiful this media can really be. Characters and backgrounds are just so beautiful here. You could print those full page illustrations at the end of the chapters and sell them as individual pieces. Only thing is that sometimes the dialogue gets lenghty, like it was a novel. It says it's based on one but they really could've done a better job adapting: some panels are overwhelmed by speech bubbles, especially from the second volume on, where you would expect less exposition. But overall its enjoyable and the art makes up for its flaws. It really makes you appreciate the time and the talent put into this.
We don't know how effective it really was, and we don't know what else was shown, but if you're this famous and an uncredited defamatory documentary like that (assuming it's entirely along the lines of ShE's a PsYcHo REEEEE) is supposed to ruin your career you either have really really REALLY shitty PR or you weren't that important from the beginning. VIP swim in this kind of scandal everyday, heck some people are even paid to plan these stunts and keep the celebrity relevant. How cool would it have been if when she called the boy she was like "Oh, so that was your plan? A bunch of nobodies slandering the top actress? Cute, thanks for the clicks, I'm fucking number 1 to 10 top searches on google. Dumbass."
The shortest amnesia arc in the whole history of literature.
