Kusunoki-san wa Koukou Debut ni Shippai Shite Iru - Ch. 38 - Turns out, Kusunoki is really that beautiful

[Desertking1]

Poor MC, hopefully he can still ask her out later. He tried at least.

Swear to god if they bring in snakebitch I’m getting a brick and a ticket to Japan.

Stop crying

 

[Desertking1]

This MC is such a loser. Literally all of the girls we've seen so far are way better than Kusunoki by far. And she even friend zoned him. I hope the author can break through the chain and make him end with Snek or even the other girl. Cant go wrong with either. The FMC in this series suck.

you hebihaters can't stop talking about hebi even when she isn't in the chapter. maybe you lot are more obsessed about her than the average hebifans here. it's a sign of a compelling character though which Kusunoki obviously isn't.

Reading the comments it’s actually all snakebitches complaining she wasn’t in the chapter

rich coming from you who without fail keeps shitting on hebikawa in every single chapter. maybe for a coomer who faps 10 times a day like you, Kusunoki being this blank of a character that exists solely due to her appearance is more of your speed than Hebikawa who actually makes people engage with the story

Nah I like her story of putting effort into to change herself and grow and I think she and MC have good chemistry coming from the same direction. Being nice is not the absence of character. If Hebikawa ever actually gets an arc I might stop dunking on her but that remains to be seen, until then she will continue getting dunked on as all annoying characters should.

For one thing, always have an understudy, you dopes

For another thing, Keisuke is pissing me off lately. He‘s so shallow, falling for Kusunoki only after he realizes how hot she is

Speaking facts. And they are so emotional

 

[olivetho]

the girl who said Shizuki can't be the replacement because he wouldn't fit Usui's size prolly forgot to consider that Irie herself has quite a huge chest of her own so I totally think it won't go as smooth as we know even if Irie eventually agrees

actually looking at the previous chapter, that girl is also a decent bit taller, so it might just cancel out.

 

[the_Bear_from_Bearcave]

she might be a prick but remember that she put so much hard work writing the script and directing it and thus she has done more work than Kusunoki ever did.

She also almost fucked everything up several times, only to be saved by someone else's effort. Seriously, she sucks, she's a bitchy boss that doesn't understand that conflicts are harmful for the teamwork, but when it comes to her work she pushes it on other people. And I remember liking her at first for being decisive, and defending her in comments of her first chapter. Turns out I was wrong about her then.

 

[GooseBolt]

Fun twist, wonder where this'll go. Also it's so entertaining to watch the SnakeWar happen in the comments lol

 

[Mangamusa]

Pretty obvious he's gonna end up with Hebikawa

 

[Chronigan]

All fun and games until you learn that he's actually a thoracic surgeon.

Is he trying to become an erotic mangaka too?

 

[JashwanthGeass]

This one reminded me of Blue Box anime where Taiki plays the role with Hina(snow white).

Hebikawa - a child who is being taken advantage of by her stepfather - has an arc that is built around breaking her belief that everyone around her is secretly a scumbag. There have been entire chapters dedicated to explictly highlighting "this is what Hebikawa's arc is about".

Except her arc is super flat, her behavior is the issue and she’s never had any consequences from it which is paramount for a good redemption arc. And no the thing with her stepdad is not a consequence, it’s a circumstance.

This is an odd rebuttal. "She's never faced consequences from it" would be a legitimate criticism only if her redemption arc was supposed to be over.
With that said, her stepfather being able to prey upon her due to her twisted worldview is indeed a consequence of her having that worldview, which is why the mangaka straight-up presented it as being a consequence of her worldview. "It's not a consequence, it's a circumstance" is a statement that relies on the inaccurate premise that "a circumstance" is mutually exclusive from "a consequence", when in-fact a circumstance can be a form of consequence, as it is in this situation.

Except the abuse is not a CONSEQUENCE, it’s a cause of her behavior. It’s not like her stepdad went “wow this girl is a two faced bitch, I should molest her”. A consequence would be like, her getting called out and becoming a social outcast. Hell she didn’t even miss out on her birthday cake.

I’m not saying she’ll NEVER get a proper arc and become a likable character, but for now she’s just a mean girl with a sad backstory who still gets to be popular and suffers no drawbacks for her behavior. She is right up there with Ayami from the childhood friend manga for characters who kinda just suck as people.
