A program that should never be resumed.

Well I got to where the chapters were deleted, out of respect for Hana, I didn't continue watching the deleted chapters.

From what I read, from people who managed to watch until the end (actually the show is suspended and for good reasons. From what I read, Hana left this life when the show was still airing and Hana's mother accused Fuji TV since the producers had told her to slap Kai, that there would be no problem but Hana really didn't want to do it so she just blew his cap off. I mean it was all orchestrated by the production of the show and then the hatred became so massive. I can't even name the things that they put on Hana everywhere, even though Hana had a suicide previously attempt and the production knew it, they aired the entire episode to harm Hana more, this is not a theory, this was told by Hana's own mother. Days later Hana sent a message to her mother that she couldn't take it anymore and when her mother called the ambulance, it was too late. She even left several messages that she just wanted to be loved. Really too sad and disgusting on the part of the production that from the beginning only wanted conflicts).

Then I read that the show got heavier and darker and the commentators were too harsh this season. I read that the men who came in after Ruka, Peppe and Haruka left, only made things worse. I didn't want to see chapters where I saw Hana's last days, it seemed disrespectful of me. So I left it up to where Netflix left it and then I started investigating everything that happened. A tragedy that could have been totally avoided if it were not for Fuji TV's greed to want to create unnecessary conflicts.

Now, having closed this very sad case, I didn't like how they treated Ruka, like a totally stupid and incoherent boy, making out of place comments. Ruka was only 20/21 years old, you know. Many people have no idea what their goals are or what they want to do. Even people in their 30s. I also dreamed of being Sailor Moon and saving the world when I was little, we all have that Peter Pan in our hearts and also when I finished school I didn't know what I wanted to do or what direction should I take , I studied many things at that time but I didn't find myself in none (I am grateful that my parents never pressured me for these reasons and they were and are always there for me, whatever decision I made) until I was hit by a major depression and I knew that I wanted to help people by being a psychologist, I am still studying things that have to do with mental health, but getting to that path was long and hard. Why is everyone obsessed that you must have a dream or a fixed goal? That doesn't make you a stupid person. In fact Ruka grew so much that when he left he gave a speech in perfect English, when he came in he didn't know any English.

Peppe was another of my favorites, he was cheerful, positive, sincere and wise but I feel that from the beginning they treated him with a certain distance even though he knew how to speak japanese perfectly. I didn't like Kaori's comment about him, that at first he seemed smug and she didn't even want to see him. Let's see girl, he wasn't being conceited. He was telling the passion of him, you know how difficult it is to be a mangaka as a foreigner. Peppe was the presentation of perseverance and resilience. I admire Peppe a lot.

I don't even know why Kaori came in if she had a boyfriend.

I didn't like Haruka, I feel like she was too indecisive and felt like no one was on her level. She even did several questionable things like talking to Kaori and staying silent when Risako came in, even after her argument with Risako (which I think Risako was harsh but was realistic about issues about Haruka) she blocked her. You're 15 old? Even when Risako apologized and tried to understand her, she was still defensive with Risako.

I don't know in my opinion I only liked Ruka, Peppe and Risako. But really, I hate that this happened with Hana and the show. I hope Hana in another life you are loved and far from the hatred of evil people.
