ようこそ実力至上主義の教室へ・１冊 | 230-248 |
I finished chapter 7! what an eventful day + night for the gang! I don’t recall whether I understood that the 堀北学 scene happens the same day as the disaster study group AND 櫛田's heel turn. i’m getting a bit of a sense of how i’m supposed to be taking in 綾小路 and why the anime is characterizing him the way it does. in two cases, he thinks only really about the physical danger somebody is in, and there’s some line past which he’ll intervene and otherwise it’s not his problem.
actually, in and after a text message scene (yay! practicing reading fluent text-speak!!) that’s not in the anime, he literally calls them 他人事 (somebody else’s problem) in his thoughts, which i thought initially was a 義訓 reading but apparently may not be? but then he’s really quick and careful about how to manipulate people: invoking 櫛田’s possible displeasure to diffuse people going after 堀北, and then giving 堀北 equal parts tough-love and “let’s save the 赤点組” pep talk after her brother is like “you won’t ever make it to class A”
