Free Punch Manhua

As Yamada sat in Mr. Takahashi's living room, fidgeting with his fingers nervously, he couldn't shake off the feeling of vulnerability that washed over him. The man who had always reprimanded him at school was now sitting across from him, offering a cup of hot tea and a warm smile. "Yamada, I know you're going through a tough time right now. But running away is not the answer," Mr. Takahashi spoke softly, his voice filled with genuine concern. Yamada felt a lump form in his throat as he tried to hold back the tears threatening to spill out. No one had ever shown him this kind of kindness before. He had always been the rebellious troublemaker, never deserving of anyone's care. "I--I just don't know what to do anymore," Yamada finally admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. Mr. Takahashi leaned forward, his expression softening even more. "It's okay not to have all the answers right now. But you're not alone, Yamada. I'm here to help you figure things out." And in that moment, as the weight of his struggles seemed to lessen, Yamada felt a glimmer of hope igniting within him. Maybe, just maybe, he could find his place in the world with the unexpected support of his teacher. And as they sat there, sipping tea in the quiet living room, a bond began to form between them - one that would change both of their lives in ways they never imagined.
