I had the same thought!

I must admit that being a non-Japanese, it was initially hard for me to fully appreciate the wordplay & Haiku that was being discussed. But it got more & more interesting as it went on. It was also surprisingly heartwarming & hilarious in parts. I ended up enjoying the first episode :)

Please try to watch from the subber's website rather than streaming sites that take away the fansubber's credit / hard work. ECOTVsubs subbed this :)

Thank you once again for sharing.
That must have been really hard. I cannot imagine all the pain you went through. Sending you a BIG hug!

I am no one to advice you, really, and I want to apologize in advance if I have overstepped my boundaries. But I want you to know that while it is great that you've learnt to rely on yourself for your own happiness, it does sound like that's coming from a place of wanting to protect yourself from any hurt that may come from attachment to others. Please do not do that to yourself.

Have you considered speaking to a counsellor or a therapist? I really think that might help you not only deal with the trauma & pain that has come from the assault, but also provide you a safe place to share your feelings. If you are unable to afford those kind of services, or are too scared to approach one, try to watch some basic therapy sessions on YouTube. Again, this is just a suggestion coming from a place of concern.

Dr K is a brilliant psychiatrist from Harvard - you may consider watching some of his therapy sessions on YouTube. They have been extremely helpful for thousands of people around the world.

Watching E6 filled my heart. To see that everybody loves Masora & cares for her. I cried so much. Just a simple act of kindness can make such a big difference in a person's life.

I can't recommend this drama enough. It brilliantly captures what a community is, and what it means to support one another and spread love.

I also feel that she'll pass away on the last episode :(
But I trust that the show won't present it at a tragedy, and will celebrate the fact that she lived, the good she did, the people she loved & the people that loved her :(

I hope that Keisuke won't have an affair with Sakurako. Don't want Nami suspecting him either :-

E5. I really want to watch the drama Keisuke is writing. It sounds so bad that is good XD
Also, I googled 'brain cooling' and apparently, it is a thing. I had no idea lol

You are fast! Thank you <3

I need more scenes between the leads. They are the only reason I am watching this.

I am sorry to hear about what happened. It takes a lot of courage to share, and I am proud of you for being able to speak up here. Thank you.

Please know that you do not need to be embarrassed of yourself. It is not your fault and you are as beautiful as you were before the incident. Also I know it is easy for me to say, but not all guys are the same.

If possible, please try to seek out a mental health professional for help. If you need someone to listen to you, you can DM me and the least I can do is to listen to you.

You are not alone, my friend :)

Whether it is sexual assault, or bullying - they're both HUGE.

Not directing it at you, but to anyone who thinks that bullying is ok, but sexual assault is not, they're both crimes, and should be condemned. Yes, the degrees are different but they both consist of behaviour that violates another physically & emotionally. Even if he only bullied, it doesn't make what he did OK. You shouldn't be making an exception for either one.

His repentance would be getting punished. But I doubt that will happen because he'll either pay them off or just issue an apology. Not to mention, the statute of limitations might also have expired.

Leaving for the military or leaving the industry is not enough.

Exactly. And such blanket admissions presume that one is admitting to all the allegations against them. That is how the law works. If he was responding only to the bullying, he should have been SPECIFIC.

I will recommend more if you like these :)

To the writer of this article, no where does his apology make it specific which crimes he's admitting to so I believe the headline of this article needs to be changed. He didn't just bully, he sexually assaulted girls as well.

His apology (at least to me) wasn't specific, so I believe that he admitted to everything (both bullying + sexual assault).

Please correct me if I am wrong. And if I am right, please do take note of this, correct the article, and report things for what they are.

No, his apology was very vague. He didn't specifically admit to bullying or sexual assault. He appeared to be admitting to everything (at least to me).

Bullying and sexual assault do not count as stupid things. THEY ARE CRIMES.

EXACTLY.

If he was exposed back then, he would have been punished by law. So people saying that he's apologized & we should let him be - I say NO. What he did wasn't a normal mistake that teens make. HE COMMITTED CRIMES.
Also, that apology did not come from a place of his own guilt, it came because it was damage control. Because he was exposed.

Regardless of how old you are, regardless of what you went through in life, regardless of what someone else did to you - BULLYING AND SEXUAL ASSAULT IS NOT OK. There are people who suffer serious mental trauma from such incidents, or even resort to suicide, and YOU'RE SAYING IT'S OK?

Would you say the same thing if you or your family member was bullied and sexually assualted?

Great! Hope we don't have to wait too long for the next season.
