It's kind of hard to expect random guys on the internet to have any sympathy (or was it empathy) for a fictional character when they cannot relate to the pain and suffering the character is going through, especially for something they know nothing (and care nothing) about like lady problems.
Oh, man, I could not imagine. I have one near my age who wads the things up is gobs of TP (enough that I can safely tear plenty off to remove snot buildup in my nostril tips), another who's just started in however many past months, and then my mom. Gah, and them raving about it (mostly in jest, but I'd imagine the dramatics of such joking exasperations is magnified by 4srs emotional factors).

Only if your parent(s)/guardian is terrible. She's acting like it's something she's never seen or expected. Any parent worth his or her salt would have either given her the low-down, or taken the poor kid to someone who could.
I'm not going to claim I can understand at all what menstruating is like, but given an educated and remotely articulate elder, no stable girl would flip out like she is.
I had a feeling I'd eat my words. I WAS gonna say, "Unless Hikari's, like, ten years old, her mother's an asshole". So if you're right about her age... Sorry 'mom'.

if he never made a move on Haruka (who likely hit puberty a loooong time ago), there's no way he's gonna be interested in someone at an even earlier stage.
An ex of mine didn't know. It was before we met but she told me the story. Apparently her dad wouldn't touch the subject, her mom assumed the school would cover it and the school didn't get to sex ed in time. This would've been the 80's, and it was still a touchy subject for the schoolboards back then.
She seriously thought she was going to bleed to death.
It'd be pretty freakin scary and even with good parents, talks about this stuff is very intimidating for them.

The common human trait of over-reactiveness concerns me. I've only ever been minorly concerned about mysterious bleeding, and fine after realising its cause.
ok... I'll jump past all the sympathetic stuff (which I actually agree that even if she is fictional you should feel at least some sorrow for her) and take note that the drawing style is gorgeous... just wish it was in a better situation...
Lol.! Yay for Hikari! All you need is a vibrator to ease ur pain XD
Since this got flack, I will defend it. Orgasms ease menstruation pains. Now, insertion is usually not that comfortable, because blood is an anti-lube, but clitoral stimulation is an excellent source of relief. I know... I've helped *ahem* relieve some pain in my time.
