She seriously vexes me...

[-.-.MajorMangaLover.-.-]

Her personality sucks! She's such a crybaby! Tons of people have been through horrible things yet they fought through it! She doesn't even try!

This thread is not just to complain:: I only just finished chapter 5.. I think.. but I don't want to read anymore unless someone tells me her personality gets even a smidge freaking better!!

I really have to say I dont agree with you, the only thing that vexes me about her is that she has'nt slapped her ex yet, or yelled at him enough, and to have to live with that kind of power is.. really difficult., its hard having to be around someone that hurt you like he did, I know, Ive been there. but ,people have their opinions, i really think you should keep reading.

While it's true that many people have fought to overcome terrible experiences, you also have to consider the fact that not all people are born with that kind of tenacity. Everyone has different levels of what they can and cannot deal with. I'm sure that in Shuri's case, the darkness that came with being able to read minds made everything that much worse. Riki's betrayal probably just added to the pain of all the other betrayals she had already experienced. So I guess you could say her inability to forget is understandable.

That said, I have to admit that I don't particularly like her either -__- I don't hate her, but she kind of freaks me out with how excessive she can be at times (like when she shoved the gun in the mouth of that singer's ex-boyfriend, and when she -warning, spoilers up through chapter 9-

shot the gun at the car's gas tank and almost stabbed Hiro's mother with a needle

). I mean I get that she's upset, but it makes me uneasy. I know that she's supposed to seem like a character who has a healthy sense of justice, but (to me at least), she also has kind of a meddlesome vibe? And yes, I suppose I sometimes do feel skeptical and think, "you hate all men because of that incident? really now?"

she doesnt hate all men...she just dislikes having a intimate relationship with them

but yea sometimes she takes action without thinking of the consequences

i think she is annoying but she is pretty justified. she never actually got through her psychological trauma w/ riki. it's terrible what he did. it seriously WAS RAPE!!! their first date and he RAPES HER!! and she still goes out w/ him! she's pretty twisted herself. though i just wish she wouldn't push away youta. if minori really does get together with youta then i don't like her friend very much either.

At first, I really liked the main character. I thought that she was a strong, independent girl who has been seriously injured and is now trying to adjust to life as well as she can. I liked how calmly she picked herself back up after her traumatic experiences and the fact that she didn't lose herself to self pity. I like how she tries to stand up for other women who she perceives as in the same spot as her.

But.... the overall presentation of this character is too weak, and either the plotholes are too obvious or the mangaka was just really really lazy, but... for a mind reading girl, she's surprisingly dumb.

For example, she seems to never think through her actions carefully (e.g. shooting a bullet into a car's tank and sticking a needle in a woman's arm). You would -think- that after being led into a dark room in the back with three guys and getting raped there, she would learn to think twice.

Also, it annoys me how she classifies the herself before as naive. She is NOT naive. She's stupid. She may have been naive at one point, but after that, she just becomes stupid.

Naive, is where you don't have enough experience to back yourself up, which is why you fall into traps. Naive is where you are childlike and innocent, guileless and foolishly believe whatever other people set you up to. And to a certain point she is.

But after that, seeing as she still doesn't learn from her mistakes, I'm saddened to say that this character is too weak for me.

I'm going to stand by the first commenter's point. I refuse to read this manga until the main character grows some brains.

I don't hate here, and I don't necessarily agree, Shuri is damaged, but like others have said, not everyone can just pick themselves up just like that...and I think she's being fairly strong, I mean she' working in such close proximity to her ex that was the one that traumatized her, I know I can't do that....I've been in a similar situation as a child and I can say that I can maybe talk to the person, but there is no way I want him anywhere near me enough to touch me, and Shuri ans Riki have been in situations where they have been in close physical contact and even though she's had breakdowns, she's still strong enough to try....
even the author has said that Shuri is a hard character for her to work w/, but that she wants to make her grow...and we have to take into consideration that even before she literally gets raped by Riki she was already somewhat damaged, with her parents apparantly being neglectful and in the middle of a bitter divorce and losing all her "friends" once they found out about her power....that's hard for anybody to deal with, and then you add that your first love abuses you, it takes a lot of willpower to get out of that hole...but she's getting there....

If you keep reading, you'll see that something horrible did happen to her to make her that way. Plus, she's not that weak. Way better than many shoujo heroines.

I also have to disagree with you, well not with the crybaby-part (because she is), but I don't think it's bad. I recall many heroines that cry, because the guy they loved, rejected them and now they hate themselves, oh, and everything else of course, too.
I have a person very close to me, that went through the same crap and suffered a lot. Okay, she's not extreme like Shuri, so it's not like she hates now all men. But yeah, it marked her a lot.
And I think Shuri has a good reason to act like she does. Of course, I think it's too much whenever she freaks out, like idealistical already said.
But all in all I can't say that I don't like her. I will just get mad, when she suddenly changes her mind and gets jealous of her best friend and Yohta, if they would get closer. I get irritated, when people are jumpy and of course in Manga it's still possible for the heroine to get the boy. Everyone has to conform to the little princess.
