Hell nah, maybe that was trying to paint her in a better light but nah, she's just genuinely a garbage human being 😐

"Lets keep it light" Proceeds to say she cheated on him going along with rumors clearly circulating, but then gets shocked when he goes and asks about it 😑

"I dont want to tell him, because then he feels sorry for me and that makes me feel pathetic", so lets go and tell him i cheated on him, because that makes not me feel pathetic, but him instead 🫡

All of this could've easily been avoided by her simply speaking, she ain't deserving a second chance no way in hell

What a dumb reason lol, she dumped him jokingly , swallowed the funny parts , told the bad parts , and bailed before he could finish his sentence. She's just dumb , now why did she nonchalantly l talk to him after meeting him again , why did she avoid him without clearing it up ? Did she never even stop to think , what happened here was her mistake and no his ?

That's... that's unbelievably realistic for how things snowball, wow.

...but the spiraling Lemon probably had afterwards and awkwardly staying away from Sunao so there was zero further communication...

Frick this, why does this manga have to call me out like this

In the beginning I wanted Lemon to win but now she just seems stupid. Still kinda wish that she's the one. I mean come on she's in the damn title
She is not in the title in the official release though. Original is "Good luck to you, bitch". This title is just localization. A bad one at that but publisher probably chickened out.

With the nature of chapter releases, we've had literal years to stew on what could've possibly happened, what could be going through her head, what the actual reason behind their breakup that sets up this whole story could be.

But like, at the time and in the moment, wasn't the situation already being called absurdly silly and stupid? I recall this manga sitting at a rating at or maybe below 7, with dozens of comments on each of its earliest chapters expressing these feelings.

Here's the reality of it: Teenagers are absurdly silly, stupid, and impulsive. It's easy to see now how analytical Lemon has always been. It's easy to see how every time she insists she'll get a handle on things, it slips out of her grasp. It's easy to see she's never known how to be honest with anyone, including herself, and very nearly got there with Sunao.

But she didn't. I'm so glad (or should I say I hope I'm happy?) for all of those people who've never repressed their feelings, bottling everything up until the least deserving people who you know would still support you become your only available targets when you finally blow up. It's stupid in the moment. It's stupid looking back. It's stupid being on the receiving end. It's stupid being the one doing it.

Yet it happens. You cut people off. You distance yourself from them. You go radio silent. Instead of drifting apart, which might never have happened, you burn bridges instead. You're alone.

Some people never really recover from this social and mental self-sabotage. I know I barely did. But from the outset of this story we see how Lemon managed. She has a wonderful friend in Natsumi. She's that impressive Lemon again to the people around her, with enough careful distance to not hurt anyone, or herself, again. And when she finally comes in contact with Sunao, her desires and regrets resurface.

She knows she's in the wrong, and it's wrong for her to reconnect with this incredibly kind, understanding, if initially completely confused guy. But fortunately for her, she's stuck in a body swap rom-com, which means there's plenty of time to yearn and attempt to make up for lost time.

I...don't actually want Lemon to win. I do want her to be able to properly apologize to Sunao and be forgiven by him, and most importantly forgive herself. I want her to be able to wholeheartedly support Natsumi and Sunao once these idiots are freed from the rom-com curse and once her relationship with Sunao becomes a tiny bit less complicated.

I hope she's happy.

Lemon characterization is good, but the way the misunderstanding happened is written very sloppy. And its kinda bad since its the main crux of the story.
Yeah, this is where I'm at. It's refreshing to see the female half of a romcom like this be so openly human, so deeply flawed as a person, as many of us are. And yet, the manga really did kind of stumble through the entire misunderstanding, like you said. I don't even necessarily think her being flippant and jokey about it was a bad way to do it, but it was definitely planned out pretty poorly.
