What's with all that hitting between girls? Is that some kind of stupid trend? That kinda ruins the mood. Why would you ever want to hit your girl? The one you love above all things! Damn that's insane (

A significant percentage of households feature regular physical violence between family members although I imagine it is a bit more rare in Japan since violent crime as a whole is less common there. Also there is a huge difference between a slap vs serious domestic violence were lasting harm is the norm. Having said this, I completely agree. You should never strike your loved ones.

I don't think the author intent is to take the hitting seriously, It feels like it want to be a gag (like here) but most mangas switch the drawing style to highlight the comedy, it doesn't really work here with the serious style.

It really feels inappropriate to make jokes about smacking each other, when the first half of the manga was about abusive relationships.

^Also this.

The chapter has been updated with the correct incorrect pronoun.

Maybe it's all some intricate meta-commentary about how fictional romance tends to blur the line between abusive, stalker-ish, and otherwise unhealthy behavior and supposed "romantic" gestures by throwing them directly into contact with each other. ^^

That seems a bit too deep for this manga. It's more likely that the feminine character expressing their feelings toward the masculine character through violence, is such an accepted trope, that the author put it in without thought.

A man beating up his woman, is a bleak portrayal of domestic abuse. A woman beating up her man, is comedy gold.

The art style of in this manga makes it more intense, but hitting your love interest cliche has been used in many romance genres and portrayed as comedic, this one isn't able to do so because of lack of frames.

The beginning chapters of the manga did have an angst feeling to the abuse because of the parents, and certainly was violent when the friend and sister (thinking her to be a man) punched her.

But that last page had way more unexpressed emotions in that hit than violence. Because for Iori, after having constant toxic relationships and becoming numb to breakups, finally found someone who simply wanted to stay by her side, thats all she wanted and she is filled with happiness. She's even ready to beat up someone with a bat to get her girl back. Even after all this Minami thoughtless says something like "Are you really okay with going out with me?". (There are times when thoughtless words uttered by loved ones become way more painful than being stabbed by a blunt knife). In that moment Iori reacts the only way she could, she reacts impulsively and slaps her. You can't have someone like Iori remain calm and collected when they hear something like that from the very person she loves! There is no way she could have responded to that situation with a "I love you" or kiss her to reassure Minami.

Everyone is recognizing Minami's tragic past but are completely overlooking Iori's toxic experiences with relationships!!

Um... Am I the only one wondering why the Imouto is still referring to Minami as if she were male?

Maybe the author just has a thing for seeing girls a bit roughed up, so they put it in whether it be for comedic or serious purposes. I mean, what?

Maybe. It's an intriguing possibly. If that is the case, it's deeper than what I was giving this series credit for. Honestly it's deeper than what I give most series credit for. I'll have to reread the earlier chapters to see, if I agree.

After rereading the early chapters, I have to disagree with Rahvindra's theory. Iori has always been a little violent with Minami. So I'm sticking with my original theory.
I was also reminded, that Iori was messing around with married men. So, it was partly her fault for having bad relationships. I think it is much more likely Iori was unconsciously choosing relationships, that would fail, because she is gay, and unable to fall in love with a man.

Iori's little sister with, Minami's psycho ex. (sjgh) Sure why not, I mean there is only so many people, in the world, so they were bound to meet sometime.

The sister probably knows Iori's past with ALLLLLLLL those male lovers. Now that she heard Iori has ANOTHER ONE, and the instant the door was opened she saw someone with short hair, ofc she would be thinking it's a man.
