I absolutely f*cking love this new arc that it starts to tell, so much so that I had to take a break so I wouldn't get too emotional reading it. The arc starts to expand on the situation of both the MC and fMC's family (parents on both sides are alive btw!) and I can say that it does an amazing job of gripping you and really feeling for the characters involved. I related to a bit of it, especially the fMC's internal monologue in Chapter 125, so it got me quite emotional. I'm not even done with the arc but it's incredible on its own so far, the interactions during this feel so human. I feel for both sides of the conflict, the character's actions are painful yet real and human. I understand what they're trying to do despite, in my opinion still being wrong to a degree. I really feel for Shiori here, she's been basically abandoned all her life by her parents. But the reveal that they weren't just being awful parents, they had a reason despite me not completely thinking it's a valid reason to neglect your own daughter, it's very human. Shiori's reaction to this is chilling although the anger comes from out of left field but I think it can be described as just an absolute ton of bottled up emotions and feelings and that's also human. I can feel for the parents for both characters completely yet I still disagree with their actions and I love having characters like this, it's peak character writing to me. Both Shijo and Touma are great characters and I love them, all of the character interactions are just great and feel natural. I feel bad for Shijo as her love situation is rough to say the least. Touma is the typical quirky bro character and he gets some development as well. Minami-sensei is great aswell, appears first as a flirty teacher character but quickly is given development and turns out to be one of my favorites. Legit all the characters get some love from the author and it really fills out the story nicely without feeling forced at all. The other two film club members interactions are funny and great, I want them to get more love from the author although they're such minor characters I doubt that'll happen.
