It starts with a (very traumatized) Hara saying absurdly dichotomic statements, just in regards to how scarred and hopeless she is at the begining of the manga. The story goes on to show how she's been affected by being raped and controlled by Hayafuji, how she perceives herself as the culprit and not the actual victim, all while showing the progression of the ones around her.
This is a manga about trauma, about rape, about the feeling of total desperation and feeling like there's nothing that can save you. It's about how far we can go when we're desperate (like Misato or Reina), but also how we freeze in those same situations.
In the end, she's finally able to start building her happiness with Niizuma, start a new job and regain her own self.
