Instead of landing on either side, the coin just decided to keep flipping on its edge forever.

Classic Kodama, bad person x bad person. At least you know what you’re getting everytime.

No, no. The characthers being horrible people makes for a good plot.

Wow. welp, that's Kodama for ya. I got into the habit of listening to "Hey" by Pixies everytime I read something from her, it feels kinda fitting. I liked this one to be honest, I knew what I was in for from the beginning though.

I'm glad it's just oneshots nowadays coz if this artist made a whole series then it's gonna be terribly depressing

Well, the moment you read a Kodama manga, this is what you signing up for, also, as someone already said, she gone easy on these 2 as we know she can do worse.

Agreed. It makes the story more interesting, well to me anyway.

Love Kodama's works. Unique author. Shitty people trying to make connections. This is so realistic. Good stuff.

This one is kinda mild by her standards , though.

Hahahahaha Kodama really drove in her taste for horrible, cute women with how many times she mentioned it in this one. It was fun.

It really isn't realistic, the thing that actually puts me off most of her works is how weird and unrealistic her characters usually act, although I guess I should give this one some credit as it is probably one of her more realistic ones. The gold digger turns out to be a poor girl desperate to get out of her situation and the "nice girl" friend turns out to be an entitled creep, this kinda thing is far more believable than some of her other stuff.

I'm fairly sure Kodama wrote in an afterword or something somewhere that she likes writing terrible people

This was so plain. Nothing new, no improvement. It's Kodama with her slutty, terrible bitch.

I want a psychological explanation why humans are attracted to bitches and bad boys (for heteros). I've experience this at work too, there's this annoying client that even though they're not that important I was so eager to get them sign up?

I feel like "beautiful girl with a horrible personality" describes the love interest in almost all of Kodama Naoko's stories
