ManuTheBloodedge, much first-world suffering is self-caused. People choose to suffer. It is a choice. Especially if they choose to keep suffering long term. Feeling pain isn't a choice, but suffering from the pain can be.
All you people complaining about Shiho when this is the reality of being a high school young woman who is a perfectionist. I am that woman, and I lived that life, and I made the same stupid decisions and lost similar relationships. Yeah it doesn't make for a good story because it fucking sucks to be living that story as that person. But it's fucking reality. The tag in this is "drama".
Not everyone has the emotional support they need to get past self-inflicted suffering. And Shiho definitely doesn't.
Take Shiho's friend's advice she gave to Himari near the end of this chapter. She's a moody person who probably has a mtfthr gene mutation and needs folate, vitamin b and glutathione supplements. She's lost not one but two beloved friends. It's hard to get over that and yourself at that age and even into adulthood. Again I've lived this life.
I think this author is actually wrapping this manga up better than I anticipated. I just read the last five chapters all in a row. Good stuff so far. Writing this can't be easy let alone also drawing it.
