I agree, that's why I said "at most" if you want to be super strict, and some people around here REALLY are. Yeah, going to your crush like "hey sorry, I got caught up having a heated moment with my ex" is not precisely how you open a conversation.I don't think that's the reason he left. i think dudes phone is legit out of juice, got separated came back to Hikari's classroom to find her or get someone to contact her for him, and got into it with Yami (who was the one doing all the kissing). He just didn't mention Yami going all lickety-style on him because he wants to confess to her and that probably isn't the right time to tell her "Oh btw we used to bang".
I think it was explicit in the novelization of previous chapter that he did leave her on read and so she knows he's lying about the phone running out of batteryI don't think that's the reason he left. i think dudes phone is legit out of juice
Is not about being cool, is talking about a thing in a very obvious position of inexperience with absolutes. Some of you don't want to see the grays in the situation, and I'm sorry, I'm not for bullshit like that. Not everything has to be doom and gloom, full commitments or sunshines and lollipops, that's the kind of story we have here whetever is good or bad or you hate it.I really dunno why some people love to call everyone disagreeing with their insane views on relationships virgins, is it trying to make yourself feel normal when you know it's wrong, or to get potential victims to drop their guard?
here's my certified aging non-virgin advice: stay the hell away from anyone who tries to tell you what you need to accept to be ~cool and experienced~, you're better off being a virginseriously, sex is absolutely not worth putting yourself in danger
Ik I am the one who said they fucked last chapter but...Only 30 minutes makes alot of sense to me
What I want to know now is was that him wandering around or fighting with Yami
I use ChatGPT and Deepseek to MTL the raws as soon as they’re released on Note.can i ask you where do you read the novel? because the one i found is only 31 chapter. thanks
I do agree it likely started to become meaningful to him by the end, but wasn't part of the reason Yami decided to ghost him that she felt like he wasn't going to move on from Hikari? maybe he would've eventually if she hadn't ghosted him as you are saying, however that's also an issue.Yeah i gotta disagree on this.
Maybe at first he was only going with the flow but very clear by the end that the relationship has also become meaningful to him and i would argue he genuinely does try to move on from hikari during the time of him dating yami. There are signs too that he does care about yami during that whole flashback arc.
Maybe when yuu started dating yami he still hasnt fully moved on from hikari, hence why him not telling anyone about it but i could see a scenario where had yami not ghosted yuu, he does fully move on from hikari

...
Yuu: "Hikari..."
Hikari: "......"
Hikari: "Then, why didn’t you check LINE?"
Yuu: "Actually, um... my phone died..."
As if he could see right through my thoughts, he started making excuses for all the times we’d missed each other, even though I hadn’t asked.
But, you know, that’s a lie, right?
Because, just a moment ago, it showed as "read."
Yuu: "And then, I was wandering around the school... before I knew it, it got completely dark..."
Truth is, you probably forgot about me until you checked your phone, didn’t you?
You only started frantically looking for me after you saw the notification, right?
Are you really that shaken up that you’d tell such an obvious lie?
Yuu: "The cultural festival’s over, huh... I’m really sorry."
Yeah, it’s over.
While you were kissing Aya-chan, you know.

Fair, I'm reading as much as I can from his character with just the things we have, I mean, tbf as far as we know he might have clearly rejected Yami and now he's feeling confident about being fully committed to starting a relationship with Hikari.I agree with the sentiment, but we don't know what's on his mind for now. Also, those things develop with time, going on dates or having a lover to have a change of pace is a thing and is not like he is moving from a grimm past or he being a shitty person or anything like that, he was dejected about his first crush.
We don't know how things would evolve since everything broke apart, but to assume his relationship with Yami was not significant for him is a big stretch and a mean assumption. We don't know, but it's not like he is a playboy or something. Is like bashing Yami for ""stealing"" Yuu during the flashback.
Feels like Maruto gonna give more drama so who knows next chapter she might accept his confession this manga has just been full of thrills and surprises it's hard to predict what happens next chapters and you don't know what Marutos next move isMaybe it's the English language but he likely refers to the past. So his next words in the following chapter will be '... but I've found someone else'. It is a little ragebait for the readers.... And reading the comments - it worked.

Is that actually the case, or just her taking everything the worse possible way?Excerpt from Chapter 36 of the novel (MTL):
Full chapter’s in my post in the Chapter 36 forum thread.
As @nogoodsumbeach pointed out, this “but route” doesn’t make any sense. It’s really odd for Yuu to say, “I’ve... liked you for a long time, Hikari!” only to follow it up with “...but I’ve found someone else.” Not only does that feel completely inconsistent with the tone of the scene, but it’s also an unnecessarily hurtful thing to say in that moment. Plus, if you read the chapter in the novel, there’s no space for a “but” anywhere in that scene—it just doesn’t fit.Maybe it's the English language but he likely refers to the past. So his next words in the following chapter will be '... but I've found someone else'. It is a little ragebait for the readers.... And reading the comments - it worked.
OH NO NO NO YAMISENPAIBROS
NO
NOT LIKE THIS
Didn't hold her back during the kiss
Stood at his window for half a damn hour while Hikari worked up the nerve to ask him out
Talked about Hikari all the time in between boning Yami
Well, he didn’t say “My phone died and I had to recharge it.” He said, “Actually, um... my phone died...” And since Hikari’s phone showed that he did read the message, it seems pretty clear to me that his phone didn’t die—he’s just lying to her.Is that actually the case, or just her taking everything the worse possible way?
He loved Hikari but with Yami he worked to get over Hikari..Hikari had him in the friendzone until a year ago. Any man would have tried to move forward after being stuck as a non love interest to the girl youve been pining for. Hikari has tried to set him up with other girls. He develops actual feelings for Yami and that's why when she ghosts him it's hard for her. They shared their difficult circumstances and moved forward with each other. So Yuu's done nothing wrong except lie about the Yami kiss to avoid a hurtful conversation.Yuu literally fucked Yami countless times while supposedly being "in love" with his childhood friend the whole time. What's to stop him from doing it again? Clearly love doesn't matter to him lmao.
