Rihito capitulating and giving Noa a hug, especially in the context of this situation, is kinda like inviting a vampire into your house. The vampire ain't gonna leave when you realize the mistake you made

Don't envy bro's position. There's not too many options to pick, and most of them would've ended pretty poorly for their relationship/friendship

I know it's been said before, but Noa is a terrible person to be friends or even be in a romantic relationship with, but I still feel bad because that's her personality, and that's not something that's changed overnight, and I hope the mangaka actually explored that about her, rather than drawing the 500th gooner outfit RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Idk how to feel about this chapter lmaoo

Rihito seems to finally be aware of Noa-senpai, since he was heavily blushing and everything, but after seeing how Noa was acting... I don't even know if I want them to end together loll
Jump on the "Noa gets cucked by Negi x Rihito" train - the most hilarious ending.
The issue isn't Noa is being a self-obsessed clingy girl again. She has done similar things before. Rather the main issue is she's getting rewarded for it this time. In the past, whenever she acted out, Rihito would call her out on her behavior. This time she got a hug out of it.
My problem with Noa now is basically this. Yeah, no shit I know Noa is a toxic af menhara and that's basically the whole premise of the manga. But it worked as a gag and stayed cute because Rihito would smack her down when she getting too much, like a boss, so it was hilarious. But with him starting the give in, then Noa's issues aren't just a joke when it seems like it might finally be progressing to Rihito finally giving in to a romantic relationship. Noa hasn't had nearly enough development for the step into the romance phase seem like anything more than a horror shitshow of a toxic partner.

We're watching a man getting worn down by a crazy ass bitch in real-time and it's depressing to watch. :fml:

At least we got to see some more of his tsundere brocon sister. I want to see more of Reni because she's hilarious because of all that haterade she spews through that triangle mouth of hers, lol. :dogkek:

I'm a bit confused as to why people are kinda surprised...she's always been menhera and controlling, it's kind of the central conceit of the story that Noa needs to work on her personality.
I guess we've had too many chapters dedicated to her growth with Rihito that people just forgot who Noa is...

A lot of constant reactions of "wow she was too much" but it's like... she always was? From the very beginning? She's got problems 100% but the truth is whether that's too much or not is for Rihito-kun to decide. Tbh as long as her jealousy doesn't result in her actively harming the other person I'd consider it. She's pretty hot and dedication is key.

My question is WHY she doesn't think she's in love with Rihito. Even going full-on berserk when the idea of marriage for Rihito comes up. I guess it's just because if she recognized her feelings for him and pursued them, that'd be "too much progress" or whatever but man.
It's a defense mechanism. All her boyfriends left her after her real personality came out. She is an incredibly lonely person that is terrified of being left again.

While Rihito can handle her neroses, his flat personality keeps her from understanding his feelings for her. Which leads to outburst like this.

If only there was something they could do to prove to each other they would be together for ever.

Man I can't wait till our gracious gods translate next 20 chapters so there is less comments about Noa's toxicity and their relationship not being healthy enough.
Can I ask for some spoilers, please? Does she gets better?

you know, the author is trying really hard to make noa not likable
As much as I've made the thirstiest comments about Noa here, I can't help but agree. Kinda hoping the author would be redeeming her more at this point.

An interesting reaction I'm noticing in the comments, and I could be wrong, but people aren't surprised that she's unhinged. They're surprised by HOW unhinged she actually is. Like, every few chapters, they peel back another layer and we find out she's worse than we thought.

Personally, I'd figured that they would have her actually make more than 1 step in addressing her codependence on him. I really hope they start having her improve at some point and don't just go "She got better" on the last chapter

Ah... Well, I thought Noa was progressing with her mental health issues.
SHe was trying to get better on it, right? And then the author goes and "meh, forget about it"
author didnt forget dude, the story just developed into a new extreme asking noa "what will you do if rihito gets married" this is plain the reaction she gives to that question, which even in the context of the story her own answer was "i want him to say that he loves me" and rihitos reaction was "thats too importants to just say it like that" and gave her a hug instead something that even gets told its special enough to him, this is as on the nose in progress as you could get, are people blind?
