What was her endgame?
fucking around
Free drugs from her condition.
>>156334855
She accepted she can't change the way nip society sucks so she decides to quietly exist as a more pacific nihilist
>>156334855
Tried to save mc from his dumb faggot ways.
She failed.

Honestly they should have just fucked if they're so big perverts both of them.
She was nuts and thought the guy was an outcast like her. She was lonely and tried to bring him down with her but let him go at the end.
He NTR some guy and becomes a normalfag while she stays alone.
Good story, too bad the two parts of the manga don't mesh well together.
>>156336847
I actually really liked it coming to a climax and then simmering down with a time-skip.
>>156334855
to burn herself alive in front of everyone at the festival, didn't you read it bro?
>>156337141
The tone shift was so abrupt it was like a different manga.
To be as edgy as possible. A shame MC never stuck his dick in that crazy.
>>156334855
To get awful anime adaption.
>>156334855
Disrupt society as much as possible, there wasn't a real endgame.

I don't agree with the theory that the MC was just a normalfag who was putting up an act all along. It's true that, to some extent, he was semi-consciously trying to depict himself as an outcast through poetry, but it's very clear he genuinely felt detached from everyone and everything else in his town. So even though he wasn't as crazy and extreme as Nakamura, his feelings perfectly resonated with hers and he went to lengths he otherwise wouldn't have.

He is not a normalfag putting an act or crazy. He's an angsty and edgy teen pushed to dumb behavior by his hormones, you can find those everywhere. He's a pervert but the girl he was in love with ends up being the biggest pervert.
Nakamura is a damaged person, and that's why she can't fit in. When she see the MC's abnormal behavior, she thinks he is like her. But he is not. Talking to Beaudelaire doesn't make you damaged, just an idiotic delusional teen.
Nakamura would set herself on fire because she's in despair and wants attention from the society she despises. Kasuga is not hurting like she is, he would do it because of her.

I would've prefered the autistic theories that Tokiwa was actually Nakamura than that underwhelming and bleak shit that was the second part
>>156344177
Yeah that's exactly what I said, what's your point?
>>156341167
I like to think that they had sex in this scene
Is she better or worse than Aiko?
>>156344908
They totally fucked in the classroom dude
>>156345579
Punpun is the inverse of Aka no Hana; the boy is batshit insane and the girl is the hapless victim.
>>156346016
Punpun isn't insane, but he is certainly fucked up, and so is Aiko.
They're both victims at the end. Victims of their parents, of society, and the whims of life. It's a very bleak manga.
I'll never get why soe people put the blame on Aiko though. She's literally the purest character in the manga.
