Are they just gonna let Sayaka hitting another student get swept under the rug? I mean, if she gets more out of hand, they could just keep her quiet with that. I'd assume the school is still strict enough to suspend / expel violent students.

And I do hope Matsuri meddling is about issues with Harumin and not just another protect Yuzu thing. I want some more HaruminXMatsuri development rather than focusing too much on some new potential couple and Yuzu/Mei, who are practically engaged already. I do like Mei more now but her being able to speak a little of her mind rather than looking like a dying puppy all the time is probably the most development you could expect out of her.

The school cannot magically detect the incident unless someone present reports it. Which for various reasons they're declining to.

I thought magic could sense any form of violence in the school. Faulty magic sensors, I say.

Hey, lowest bidder.

I don't expect Sayaka to get off scot-free of what she was doing she going to have to face the consequences of her actions. She going to get some kind of punishments for the actions that she took, like I don't know like suspension or kicked off the student council.
(I'm not familiar with punishments in Japanese schools)

Were you not paying attention or something. She isn't going to face squat unless someone actually reports her, and for now none of the people aware of what went down have a reason to do so.

I was paying attention. You're just not understanding where I'm getting at, I'm not even going to bother explaining it.

You talked like her suffering due repercussions for that assault & battery was some kind of automatic given, which obviously isn't the case.

I'm not going to start an argument with you, so let's just agree to disagree.

Wait... Mai just... matured and... became a better partner, a better school president, AND a better PERSON!?!? Who is writing this manga again?

Also, Mei continues to be my favorite character. She's grown so much and is trying to face a problem together with Yuzu for the first time since the election arc. I can't wait to see how she deals with Sayaka.

Yea seeing her give such a nice response saying that they will solve the issue together was pretty moving.

Mei is such a stud!

damn yuzu's forehead really out here bigger than my aspirations in life

Matsuri is so broken-hearted. Why can't Harumin give in?

I still really wish sabu would give Harumin something to do
Like holy shit why does she keep benching her mvp? It's a travesty

"With great power comes great responsibility" well, in other words, she knows that if she uses the most cool headed character in the middle of the conflicts of Citrus she won't deal with anyone's BS, she will slap some truths and facts in their faces and therefore, drama will be killed too fast... so yeah, off to the bench you go!

How exciting—Mei and Yuzu are determined to move bravely forward together, putting them in the same position they were in, (checks notes) 37 chapters ago.

If the train keeps moving at this rate, I may need to sit down.

You really can't let us have nice things, can you? I get it, you don't like Mei. You can at least refrain from mocking those who do like her.

Also, when Mei said that to Yuzu the first time, she wasn't being honest. Because she knew, or rather believed, at some point she would have to leave Yuzu to marry her fiancé and live up to her responsibilities. Now that she's found a new path, her declaration to work together with Yuzu is truthful this time.

Even if you don't see it that way, let me see it that way. Let me have my own opinion without passive-aggressively telling me I'm dumb.

Saburato really makes us wait for the juice but God bless her for I have been fed

Wait, are you telling me, after so long, they're finally going to work together on something and act more than cohabiting acquaintances? lmao

You’re taking this ludicrously personally—it’s not that I “don’t like Mei,” because Mei doesn’t actually exist. What I’m mocking is not you (go ahead and thrill to any supposed development to your heart’s content) but Saburouta’s ridiculously inconsistent writing and glacial pacing.

Far from disliking her, I’ve always thought Mei was the only truly interesting character in the series (Yuzu is likable, but hardly interesting). What I’ve disliked is the botch job the author has made of her characterization, with Mei’s behavior at any given point based on the needs of a rather wandering and unfocused plot rather than on a plausible simulation of an actual human being.

Readers have worked far harder at rationalizing Mei’s actions and attitudes than the author ever did.

Romanticizing abusive relationships again. Poor Sayaka, it's not like she just punched someone on the face because of her immense insecurities and internalized homophobia, let's try to help her now too.
Because abusers have reasons for their actions, so let's try to understand them, help and fix them while suffering and while they don't even want the help.

...how the heck is it an "abusive relationship" when the violence was directed at an outside party. (That said third party decided to not take offense is their business.) The tensions within the relationship are of a completely different character.

It's not a "direct" relationship, it's the idea that Yuzu will start becoming friends with Sayaka, and Sayaka is presented as someone we should feel sorry for instead of staying away.

Plus, Matsuri did everything on her power to get Sayaka pissed enough to get punched by her. She just never expected Yuzu to throw herself in the middle.

This. Sayaka wasn't even trying to punch Yuzu in the first place, and while her violently losing her shit at Matsuri is hardly commendable behaviour it can't exactly be claimed to have been unprovoked as the latter was going out of her way way to push her buttons.

Not seeing how snapping under deliberate provocation is somehow grounds for declaring Sayaka an irredeemably abusive person. Anger management issues perhaps, but Yuzu's whole goal is to try fixing her obvious stress problems anyway.

Lol. Straight up punching someone because they faked being flirty with someone you don't even date is a major red flag. The other girl didn't even care about it. That's exactly what an abusive bf of one of my friends did. Guess what. He later was abusive to his gf too. It was Sayaka's sick jealousy, which irl slowly manifests into abuse.
Of course this won't happen here though, cause it's a story and real life rules don't have to apply.

I just hate how this type of sick jealousy getting romanticized and influencing some readers into thinking it's normal and that means the person must really love them. It would be easier to spot it if the story was with a guy doing it for a girl.
Also how Yuzu is portrayed. She just got punched, was threatened about her relationship with Mei, yet she doesn't even care about it, instead she goes "wow poor girl must be suffering so much". And this behavior is portrayed as something positive.
