So somehow when Satoko doesn't live her life exactly as her mom would like it's meant to hurt her mom? Sometimes it's so aggravating how people can be so self-centered.
Thank you both so much for TL and making this available for us to read! I'm such a fan of this series, and I feel like the author is trying hard to make it not just happy-go-lucky slice-of-life, but a real story of friendships and relationships amongst all kinds of age groups and peoples. Thanks!
I really don't like how she doesn't have the insight to know that what she considers as standards in her time are not applicable to standards in theirs. She'll literally be raising someone who will be weak and susceptible. Although it's definitely good to adjust and understand how much...
Wow. that is so screwed up. Not only did the older brother force her to apologize for something that wasn't her fault, but from the start, the younger brother planted evidence to accuse her of stealing?! No. no no no no no. They don't get to be forgiven, not easily, if at all.
I like how the author is very honest in providing enough detail into her thought process that we can clearly see where she lacks insight into her own thought process. I think it made all the times when she didn't seem all the more painful to read.
