Nah, Akari is straight up nuts and then had the nerve to use cutting as an excuse to manipulate Kyo into dating her. That shit never sits right with me and it just makes me hate Akari. There is nothing to justify in this chapter. I’m glad Chiharu got involved (even though it was forced) to try to diminish the “relationship”.
The lesson here is never manipulate people into dating. It’s fucked up!
