What a bizarre episode...

It seems like such a strange plot choice to have Miura get up in front of everyone and reveal absolutely everything that happened between she and Jun to the whole school only a month or so after he tried to kill himself. He's at his most vulnerable and emotionally raw and she goes and does that? I accept that she had good intentions, but that's not how you help someone who's suffering like he was. And then Ono standing up there to yell at him some more? Has he learned nothing from the fact that he homophobically bullied a kid to the point that he attempted suicide? And why the kiss between Miura and Jun? Why would watching a gay boy kiss a girl give another gay kid the confidence to be himself? That made no sense. I literally have no idea what the writers were trying to accomplish with this episode. It didn't seem to match the tone the show was setting at all. It wasn't emotionally resonant, it was just weird.
