Houkago Hokenshitsu Chapter 3 Discussion

No kidding! It's literally bugging the absolute hell out of me, not knowing who all these people are, and why they appear they way they do in the dreams, especially Sou and Midori (I think that's the name of the girl with braids..)



Seriously, I'm kicking myself now, because I could've read this soooo much sooner, but I always pushed it off.. Now I find myself having a hard time between cheering for Kureha/Mashiro or Sou/Mashiro! Ahhh..



And I find it funny how Kureha says "I want you to be a man" and stuff, but I can't help but wonder, if she would feel the same if Mashiro wasn't half female..



I'd like to know WTF is with Sou's sister, too! She leaves notes for him in his desk, and just knows everything that Sou's doing, or who Sou's interacting with.. The hell?

Ikr? Well, this was another fucked up chapter. That girl with the braid had a hole in her face in one of the brief scenes. I wonder what that was.

                        I wonder what the 'dark knight' guys secret is since they all have one.

what's really been bugging me about this manga is the whole setting/premise thing, like.... i mean i GET the whole dream = inner turmoil, having to solve the problem to graduate aspect, that's cool, but i'm wondering if it's actually the same as literally graduating? like idk where to draw the line in this manga's universe when it comes to dreams vs reality. only a few students are chosen to participate from what we've seen (i'm guessing the nurse chooses those with emotional/personal problems though i have no clue how) so do all the other students have a normal third year graduation? is dream graduation separate from academics, because the plot sort of implies otherwise as far as students going missing/'graduating' without any explanation (the girl in mashiro's class, people in the kendo club), and the girl we were just introduced to with the braids and her dream self being holes in her head and heart seems to have been held back a year because of her dream problems??? it makes the correlation between graduating from your problems and graduating from actual high school super confusing, and i don't know whether to just take this as it is and try to enjoy it despite it being unexplained, or whether i'm missing something. i'm cool with stpries that are purely fantasy but even then it's still lacking full explanation, and I feel like setting should be more fleshed out before we start meeting and connecting all these characters to their nightmare selves. i hope they elaborate later...
