| I just finished episode 18 and I'm just in utter shock as to how the writer has glossed over the fact that a character was physically assaulted... Not just any character btw. A high school kid got slapped straight in the face by a college student... It even left a bruise as well. Did I just interpret that scene wrongly or...because that is so far from okay. And the other characters reacted to it like nothing happened as well... |

I guess the author's not the only one that glossed over it, because I watched this anime, loved it, yet I genuinely don't remember seeing this. |

| @Daviljoe193 Well, it happened in episode 18 and it's kind of hard to not notice lol. She has a bruise in the next episode and no one even mentions it! It's bugging me so much... |

| Just read this scene in the manga and it got glossed over because Yano wanted to gloss over that chapter of her life. She meets with her ex boyfriend to break up with him, in his frustration he slaps her and it just solidifies her feelings towards him. I guess the slap is to demonstrate Yano doesn’t stand for any bullshit and cuts off abusive people right away. |

It was just a weak slap from a weak man, and she stopped the relationship right there, it was meaningless for her to even talk about it. The point there was that she grew out of the crappy relationships she was used to.
| @FreedomKME Clearly not weak because it left a bruise smh. There simply is no way to normalize this. I get that Yano doesn't want to talk about it, but Yoshida who is pretty much bullish and isn't that much aware of social cues, I thought she would at least say some line about how she's going to beat up the ex-boyfriend or something. It just felt so jarring to me. |

| Domestic violence gets handled in Japanese media differently than western media. I don't think the slap was glossed over but seen with a different focus. |
| Characters do take notice of it, though. Everyone looks shocked when she salks into the classroom. They just feel awkward about asking her about it. |
on | I remember this. Made me sick. |
