Akira was given a task to perform -- take something that doesn't belong to him before the end of the season.

Akira failed -- presumably by a matter of minutes, given the direction things were going prior to the reset.

As punishment for his failure, Maya was taken from him.

Yes. As you very well know, people are reset when they die, and if you remember correctly, Maya had sustained a mortal injury already. It just took a bit to run her through.

Because the death of the protagonist's mentor is a common trope in literature, often used to increase emotional intensity and develop the storyline.

On a serious note, I doubt it's solely the work of Pareidolia, who sent her into oblivion by the snap of his fingers. Maya has been purposefully shaken up emotionally for a long time, from the scarf incident to the scare room.
I'm guessing that whoever directly resets the world can somehow influence it and make changes, consciously or not. For example, after the scarf incident, Maya becomes more emotionally open to Sensei on the roof, leading to the destruction of the neighboring school and changes in cycles she hadn't seen before. It seems that Pareidolia's goal is to change the cycles even more and Maya was in the way of that.

On the note of resets, we obviously know Reset 7 is coming on the Halloween update (0.44). Every reset has consistently had a Happy Event to go along with it:

After the return to form weirdness that was “Arms Bent Back” in the last update, I’m really hyped to see what this inevitable Reset 7 Happy Event will hold.

They’ve always been an aspect of this game I always looked forward to due to how strange yet informative they are lore-wise.

On the other hand, Otoha slander needs to stop. She did some dumb shit but nothing too damning, middle of the road on the "bad person" scale really
Otoha stocks might go up now that she's not wrapped up in her relationship with Rin.

I feel like we missed out on a crucial part of her character because she was so tied to Rin from the get go. Now we can finally meet the dashing Otoha she supposedly always was.

Or things will just continue to get worse because that's a thing this game likes to do
Tsuneyo is bottom tier, and Nodoka is top tier, any other opinion, is not only wrong, but also dumb to smoke.

I feel like she gets hate because her "crimes" are so mundane. Kirin and Nodoka's blackmail schemes are cartoonishly cruel and early game Yumi is a walking trope, so it's easy to write what they pull off as just stuff fictional characters do. But jumping into a relationship you don't care about, being controlling and abusive over it, while secretly pining after someone else? That's just normal shitty teen behavior. And she doesn't have some overdramatic backstory justifying it. So it feels more real, and therefore worse.

I'm never forgiving Otoha and her only redeemable feature for me is her ass. That's what we call everlasting bias, I'm dying on this hill.

I particularly dislike that Selebus has her sexually assault Niki right as she's getting into her relationship with Akira again (and although it isn't straight up "cheating" since Niki was clearly assaulted, it was not pleasant to watch the first time, nor her entire arc refusing to listen to Niki saying no - even Akira is more respectful to Yumi after he assaults her), then years later she steals the violin scene with Maya from Akira as well, and is disgustingly flirty about it.

First Niki, then Maya. Next we'll find out that her deal with Sekai poetry is that she was her first crush or something. It's like Selebus keeps pushing her onto Akira's real girlfriends/actual partners.

My problem with Otoha was never mainly related to Rin, that was just the final verdict.

Stealing the violin scene is obviously an unfair thing to hate her for.

The Niki kiss was wrong but in the scope of this game, isn't even a highlight. She got caught up in the moment, misread things, and gave into her emotions. She admitted as much and apologized then wanted an honest conversation about it which Niki was right to deny. Molly had a similar incident but no one ever talks negatively about her and she definitely didn't handle the fallout better. And what do you mean Akira is more respectful about his assualt on Yumi? He brings up the fact they kissed all the time.

Otoha is not a great person but I agree with MaoKamui that she's definitely not an outlier. Otoha's crimes are laughable compared to Kirin, Nodoka, Akira, and Yumi.

I mean, to call a bias "unfair" is redundant. That's exactly what a bias is. I call it a bias in the first line so that there's no doubt that this is particular to me, and not a balanced view on the character (as I often present here).

You're fine. You can hate anyone you want for whatever reason. I'll still use it as an excuse for discussion. Even if I disagree with the reasons, your opinion is still valid. But I never said it was "obviously wrong". I said it was unfair. Which I stand by and think you would agree with.

I am, however going to say you are dead wrong about Akira being more respectful. Half of Yumi's dialogue is basically telling him to go away. Even if you think she's secretly a tsundere that needs help, Akira's disregard for her wishes is very not okay.
