| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Coulda been a pretty mango if it didn't feel so incomplete. Cuz it was as much for the rape-victim girl as it was for Hiroki and his internal struggles. Sadly, someone decided that despite it started with adult Hiroki coming back to his hometown it was OK to end within the flashback that the main story actually was. (which woulda been fine if it had actually received any completion there. #JudgingYou look from Miki and crying Hiroki didn't make for much of a an ending tho. We've known all along that he did regret it all, nothing new there. Wasted potential is what this manga is. |

| Agree with you, that initial scene didn't have much sense if they weren't going to continue it, anyway it was a good read. 7/10 |
| Appalling manga. It gave no entertainment even only for the shock value. The mangaka could be more cruel on this manga, but it turned out into a chicken than a raven. 2/10. The downhill was worse than falling from a cliff. It's painful. |

| Pretty sad manga, and I agree that the ending wasn't completely satisfactory. But as far as 'Girl in Concrete' adaptations go, I was glad this one had a somewhat happy ending, while still being respectful to what actually happened, and highlighting how horrific it was (without sensationalizing it). Even though it didn't happen in the actual event, I was glad that the girl was saved in the manga. And how they focussed on the fact that the boys were given such lenient penalties, since that actually happened, and it was what angered people the most about the case. Probably why this didn't upset me as much as 'Shin Gendai Ryoukiden' did. That was a whole new level of horrifying... |

| The ending was a disappointment to me. The manga started out so good and yet the ending felt so short (?), rushed and incomplete. Nevertheless, it was a good read. ☆ |
| Well, I did find something didn't follow the event of the life late mrs junko furata at the those point, but I relief the author make some changes on the plot of the story for avoiding from criticism. nevertheless, I wasn't sure if the chapter is ended on chapter 35 since it has chapter 36 coming up. |

| It has similarities with the late mrs junko furata issues. Fortunately it only have 35 chapter so far. |

| What an abomination of a story. The most infuriating aspect were definitely the characters and it's truly upsetting that we have people like that in our society. It's not the cruelty of the perpetrators, that got me mad, but the selfishness, cowardnice and incompetence of the bystander. At least the ending nailed it. Justice cannot be served for such a crime and things proceed as they always have. Aside from that, the story was devoid of proper substance. |

| Honestly i expected more, pretty romanzed for a good ending, I was expecting it to be more gore and dark :/ I've read the story of the real case and I actually vaccilated to believe it, truly horrific...with the 'people' who did it now free... |
| I’m glad the victim survived. I recognize the manga makes a remark on how lenient the sentences were, but I can’t accept the way it came to that conclusion. I was motivated for the sister to find her, as if we were living through her. It broke immersion by having her act in ways that made no sense at all. She followed a creepy guy TWICE, and goes to a random house where her sister is being held hostage, unaware if what the creepy guy said is even true, after being assaulted by the creepy guy’s other creepy guy acquaintance? To top it off, her asking very obvious questions to her immobilized sister was extremely annoying. We didn't need extra shock value. It reads as tone deaf to the true victim's memory. |
| I remember reading about Junko Furuta's case and the horribly traumatizing things the perpetrators had done to her despite their young ages and I was left absolutely mortified and disgusted. This manga was successful in making me feel the same way to an extent even if this story wasn't as brutal as the real thing, which is saying a whole lot... I can't say that I enjoyed this but it really got the point across. Every delinquent in this manga were irredeemable scumbags save for the guy who actually helped Sachiko find her sister and got hit in the head with a baseball bat as a result. The injustice behind the outcome of this horrific event has left me angered and frustrated towards how easy it was for bastards like them to do things like that and only get a fraction of their victim's suffering as a punishment. If there are //people// who are capable of doing this to another person just because, to hell with them and their rights since they can't be considered as human no matter who they are. |

| I dislike Junko's sister, and I feel like she acted stupidly. However, she was acting on her emotions after all and acting purely on emotions never leads to anything good. I hope that nothing like this event ever occurs again, but the unfortunate truth is that a lot worse things are currently happening that nobody even knows about. |
