This brought back a lot of uncomfortable memories of my pre-teen and teenage/puberty years. Teenagers can be so callous and cruel, borne out of ignorance. I'd like to think people can grow up and their mindsets can change but it's so hard to say. So many people are shaped even before that and stay mostly that way. Heavy read but it is definitely a way for the mangaka to exorcise her feelings of growing up in an inherently patriarchal and misogynistic society.

A retratação de uma garota na adolescência, sendo hipersexualidade e punida pelas impressões que todos têm sobre seu corpo. Hibari tem apenas 14 anos e, aparentemente, têm um corpo “mais desenvolvido” que suas colegas. Logo, todos têm uma reação a ela. Sua mãe assume que ela já é grande o suficiente; seu pai possui comportamentos estranhos, quando estão sozinhos; os colegas da escola fofocam dizendo que ela é promíscua ou que ela é arrogante, pois não têm amigos; os homens mais velhos ficam fantasiando sobre ela, olhando-a a onde ela passa; e até as mulheres mais velhas se recusam a vê-la com humanidade, pois guardam ressentimento e inveja de uma garota tão linda.
Tomoko Yamashita consegue retratar sentimentos muito bem. E aqui, ela colocou a percepções de todos a Hibari para apresentar a história de Hibari; pois foi os olhos de outros que definiu a vida dela. Também é perceptível que todos vêm nela apenas o que desejam – um dos homens fica fantasiando sobre o olhar da menina ser libidinoso, quando na verdade, ela nunca o olhou diretamente; seu tio viu nela, a fantasia de que uma adolescente o desejava, quando ela apenas queria um lugar para passar tempo longe de sua casa. Ninguém queria ver ela, por quem ela é... O máximo que queriam fazer é sentir pena ou tristeza pela situação, mas não a ponto de fazer nada para ajudá-la.
A mangaka está nos dizendo: “Que vergonha a nossa, comportarmos assim. Não podemos desviar o olhar e fingir que não é conosco.”

A tale of how accepting apathy from yourself and others only exacerbates misery. Every character is guilty of this, some more than others. But it’s also not hard to infer how each got that way. It’s a very pessimistic look at the issues it presents, but not an entirely untrue one, unfortunately. Pretty bleak.

[Sarah Pether-Hamill · Rating 5 out of 5]

A deeply uncomfortable but honest look at misogyny.

Each chapter from a different character and their point of view of main character Hibari. Hibari is living in a body that is “too adult” for her age and the people around her resent her, judge her, lust over her or outright hate her for it.

Heavy source material but handled in a deft way.

5/5 🌟
A brilliant, emotional and frustrating picture of girlhood and the preconceived notions that belong with growing up. Tomoko Yamashita grasps the heart of the issues and breaks into it, painting a relatable yet gruelling scene. Absolutely love everything.

My full review will be on volume two, but dear God this hurts in so many personal ways.
Trigger warnings for sexual harassment and assault, the characters are in junior high.
