Let's be honest, most "shonen/seinen" love stories nowadays are not this spicy and focus solely on self insert and tropey fmcs most of the time. I appreciate this, even if sometimes induces me berserker rage. But man, I miss the fluff. It was so fluffy I could die.

 

[essensue]

To put it another way Hikari is like a dog who doesn't leave you tf alone even when you yell at it but really loves you ALOT

Yami is like a cat who knocks over your vases for no reason other than "fuck you"

Ah, you're new at this I see. The vase was actually a distraction so that when you step in her puke in the other room, it's a surprise. Aaaaalways thinkin'.

 

[LordofAlI]

Honestly I just want Hikari to be happy in this manga. Idk if we'll get any happiness with anyone right now.

You know...I think you're actually pretty spot on this shit got some fucking spice that DOES make me super anticipate the next chapter with both dread and intrigue

The only thing I'm worried about is that it'll continue being an angstfest with NO levity anymore like it's gonna get exhausting if Hikari is just going through pure emotional misery she doesn't deserve constantly from now on

Like we only just got back to the present so I'll give it time Hikari just got a tsar bomba sized emotional nuke dropped on her she ABSOLUTELY gets the right to be depressed as hell for a bit but man if she's like this till the end now it's gonna S U C K

Also yeah I 100% miss the fluff- I'm PRAYING the author gets a balance going- maybe she breaks down in front of Yuu and they have an honest talk about what's going on/what he went through with Yami then leave alot the angst between her and Yami or something (that shits gonna be GOOD though ngl)

Maybe that's super wishful thinking though

GOD same Hikari like I said previously- can be...a bit much but she's genuinely such a kind and sweet person I can't help but adore her a ton and she deserves happiness

Yuu I 100% think is going through some shit after what happened with him and Yami (I've been ghosted before I can't imagine how much seeing that person again suddenly would fuck with me) so I'm very willing to sympathise with him and understand what he's going through as long as he actually gets development from it

And Yami...god Yami is such a fucking mess man and not in the hot way- she self sabotaged the ever living hell out of herself with Yuu pulled that "prank" with Hikari who STILL became her BEST FRIEND after something so fucked up and has been NOTHING but nice to Yami and even after knowing Hikari is in love with Yuu her childhood friend and Yami even ENCOURAGING her to confess her feelings to him what does she do??? FUCKING KISSES HIM

And I don't wanna hear anyone pull that "well Yami doesn't owe Hikari anything she can do what she wants with Yuu it's his choice!" Like that still doesn't make it ANY less shitty what she did or any better of a friend GOD YAMI IS FUCKING AWFUL...but do gotta admit I can't WAIT to see what happens between her and Hikari now

Nah you're actually meant to slip in the puke and and crack your head THAT'S what she's best at after all hurting everyone around her!

As much as I hate to admit it, Seo Kouji usually knows how to juggle slice of life and telenovela bullshit, the problem is most of his mangas are too long and start to meander in very questionable stuff and loves to give me aneurysms, Kimi no Iru Machi is good stuff up until halfway. Fumizuki Kou also comes from that school of giving the fanservice and also be very dramatic. It's sort of an abandoned kind of manga since I suppose it doesn't sell as well as pure fluff of fanservice, not that I would want to be in that position since making your readers either very happy or very unhappy is part of the genre.

But yeah, this one is very unbalanced. My main problem with this manga is it was only fluff for quite a long time, then totally switched without any kind of regard of what the reader was expecting up until that point.

Maruto just had to have her think "this is my best friend's crush" then kiss him rather then go into autopilot and kiss him, then stop and think "oh no, this is my best friend's crush".

I've never read any of Seo Kouji's works, maybe I'll have to check some of there stuff

Y E P it was SUCH a shockingly harsh rugpull the balance is basically non existent it went from PURE fluff to really hard angst real damn quick- and I'm really worried it's here to stay so we'll be stuck with 100% angst from now on basically and it'll basically just be-

Hikari who's a complete sweetheart going through emotional misery she doesn't REMOTELY deserve

Yuu who's going through his own shit and won't just be fucking open about it

And Yami a self sabotaging dumpster fire who fucking ruins anyone she touches at this point

I wanna have faith that now is when we're gonna start getting proper development for both the story and characters, now that we're in the present again and that after this festival we start seeing some more balance but that might just be wishful thinking

Maruto just had to have her think "this is my best friend's crush" then kiss him rather then go into autopilot and kiss him, then stop and think "oh no, this is my best friend's crush".

Okay I guess to be a LITTLE for Yami we really don't have much context outside of a kiss happened and they we're having an argument to some extent for all we knew she might genuinely have felt guilty immediately after what she did

Honestly if Yami confesses what she did unprompted and shows genuine remorse for portraying her friend's trust I think it would go a LONG way in developing her character and show she is genuinely capable of being a better person

 

[story645]

for all we knew she might genuinely have felt guilty immediately after what she did

Probably definitely, but it also feels a little self serving given that Maruto had her have enough awareness of the situation (he's Hikari's crush) that she's actively choosing (rather than impulsively) to betray her friend.

Someone had a post a while back about how Aya ghosting Yuu was making the decision for him on how he felt about her family drama, and I feel like Aya not telling Hikari about Yuu is much the same - Aya had decided that Yuu/Hikari was endgame w/o actually talking to either of 'em about it. And then, understandbly but still, couldn't stick to the choices she made for either of them.

Even I don't know where I'm going w/ this, probably that I'm about 50/50 on a totally nihilistic nobody learns anything & everyone falls back to their patterns ending.

 

[awtystic]

I got through half the comments so maybe someone mentioned it, but why does everyone think Yami initiated the kiss with Yuu?
It would seem weird that she kissed Yuu only to then slap/yell at him?

My take is that Yuu started the kiss, Yami got into it enough to wrap her hands around him only to then realize what she was doing.

Does Yuu suck for not being honest? Yeah he does.
But we are missing too much information and so can only guess at this point.

I do think that it's over between Yuu and Hikari romantically, and probably as friends.

Check ch 21 again man you'll see her slapping and initiating the kiss with yuu

 

[ComNguoi]

I honestly have no idea why you're saying this to me. I've been saying for ages that Yami and Yuu deserve each other and that Hikari should cut ties with Yami and move on from Yuu.

Sorry my bad. I might have read your msg and misunderstood it.

 

[habla]

Spoiler

After getting my hands on her photo and name, I pulled a little… well, pretty malicious prank and registered her info on a sugar-dating app.

Then, in less than a minute, messages started pouring in. I played along with some random guy, arranged a meet-up, and left her standing alone at this station square… Yeah, thinking about it now, that was seriously messed up.

I deleted the account right away, but if someone had already saved her info, it’d be a permanent digital tattoo. And if word got out at school, one of us would probably get expelled.

What a speed typist Yami-chan is... This is pretty dumb ngl
but also I hope the "permanent digital tattoo" comes back to bite them in the ass, it's such a doujin scenario

Imagine Hikari is the one who gets in trouble

I wouldn't put it past this mangas perpetual quest for more angst lol

(I'm laughing now, but I'd be fucking PISSED)

You all seem to be missing that right now it all depends on what Yuu told her and what caused the slap.

 

[habla]

Imagine Hikari is the one who gets in trouble

Oh, don't worry, I did in fact I hope so
I will be so mad at Yami and I'll enjoy every moment of it

 

[Roylan]

Yall remember when this was a 9+ rating? yeah me neither

 

[ComNguoi]

Wait so they didn't even see each other the whole time. Tf

Sorry Yuu was too busy banging Yami, I mean who can blame him
