i like the core of the story that is following a nice person having to be a relentless jerk because of circumstances. she hates it, everyone hates it, except her boyfriend who is now fantasizing about her brutally stepping on his face, but she has to do it because her dad is thousands of dollars in debt plus I like the moments where she plays some sort of useless scrub tier common card to seize victory, like it's neat that iirc she hasn't played so much as a modestly heavy monster card

Lemon Curdistan posted:No, she's playing assholish decks that are designed to win by making GBS threads all over her opponent's ability to do anything (which is not in any way fun to be on the receiving end of), and on top of that she's just stone-faced and looks miserable throughout the entire game. She's definitely not exhibiting the pinnacle of good sportsmanship, and just because real-life M:tG tournaments are assholishly competitive doesn't mean her behaviour is totally okay. Plus again this is a world where this card game is like, the basis for society so presumably there's some sort of untold honor and morality about it, since it's not just the hyper-competitive who get into it, but instead basically every normal person around. After all what's-his-face was literally going to university for this game - it's clearly something people put a ton of their lives and futures into. Manaka's doing the equivalent of those companies that buy up other companies, suck all the blood they can out of it, then leave it to die. Not really illegal, and a genuine strategy to acquire greater wealth, but basically everyone is going to tell you that the kind of people who'd do those kinds of things are giant heartless scumbags.
