You understood wrong I thing.
She invited him to the confession room - not the other way around.
Hikari totally should have said she saw the Yami kiss before the whole confession 100% just as I believe Yuu should have mentioned he dated Yami the moment he found out that Yami and Hikari were close friends.
None of what you said is a demerit against Yuu. He finally saw his ex-gf after over a year of her ghosting him after their beach getaway. Especially given how troubled her homelife is with her stepfather, of which, he still didn't know Yami resolved. So, for all he knew, something troubling could have happened to Yami. So, I think it's understandable that Yuu would prioritize Yami in the moment over Hikari given that the last thing he heard from Yami before the beach, was screaming, shouting, during their late-night talks.
He was going to confess to Hikari no matter what. In fact, the entire reason why he even went back to the classroom was to get Hikari. Him meeting Yami was coincidental. Him trying also trying to confess to Hikari after that emotional rollercoaster is also very human.
Go read again chapter 36 and 37, anyone with eyes can see she is distressed and distant for the entire time, and when she looks like she is going to confess she just says let's go home, yet he went all in with his confession when he should have stepped back and think about what's up with her and her strange behaviour.
You mean the meeting Hikari called him to, where Hikari said she had something to tell him, and instead Hikari tried to leave without saying anything?
Hikari's "I've got something to tell you" act followed by her going silent and then getting upset with him because he doesn't read minds is getting OLD. Apparently Yuu has had enough of being expected to stand around for half an hour in silence.
But when Hikari isn't open about it, it's fine?
Trying to set him up with other girls and even getting annoyed at him for not going anywhere with them pretty much makes her middle school self an ignorant child.
No, I never said she didn't make any mistakes, but being clammy about her feelings is the worst thing she's guilty of. Yuu is withholding info that would devastate Hikari if she found out and he just keeps going along with the confession as planned like the self-absorbed dweeb that he is. Like I said earlier, Hikari's mistakes are orders of magnitude softer than Yuu's and Ayami's.
Well, I'm of the opposite opinion. I think they were both in their own right to not confess their feelings until they were certain it wouldn't ruin their friendship. I don't think either should be blamed for not being open, especially middle school Yuu who saw how hopeless and one-sided it was back then.
Which has nothing to do with what he did in the past.
Dude, it's not that hard to understand. After they met she is silent and distant, totally the opposite of what she is usually is. It's obvious something's up with her.You mean the meeting Hikari called him to, where Hikari said she had something to tell him, and instead Hikari tried to leave without saying anything?
Strongly suspect Yuu was getting tired of being jerked around by two girls expecting him to be psychic, and decided to lead off with the most important thing he had to disclose since Hikari reneged on saying anything at all. And got a sh*t sandwich for his effort.
And who said the girls didn't make mistakes, of course they did xD. Everyone here made mistakes. This is a theme throughout the story, they are teens without experience and they have their own particular situation that could explain it. But you are very headstrong into exculpating Yuu of his own mistakes for some reason I don't understand.
That's one person saying Hikari didn't do anything wrong.
That's two persons saying Hikari didn't do anything wrong.
And here's you making the third person to claim that Hikari didn't do anything wrong.
She may have been clued in that he likes her romantically? Which could've maybe caused her to see him in a different light - unknown, Yuu just decided for her that it's a lost cause. Which running theme of this manga - making decisions for other folks instead of talking to them is bad.
Dating the girls she sets him up w/ is a very strong sign he doesn't care at all.
The excerpt you quoted says he hung out w/ those girls a few times & was then awkward. His behavior could very much just be read as he didn't have chemistry with that specific girl, especially given he keeps saying yes to the set ups. The way to make it clear he's not into it is to say no to the setups altogether.
@wozbond said:
Yes? Like the reason Hikari rejects the confession is b/c she doesn't want to start a romantic relationship w/ Yuu off on toxic grounds and the reason that she is so hurt here is b/c this upends what she thought her relationships with Yuu and Aya were.
Aha. Hikari not actively going after Yuu throghout the story is not a mistake for her, it means fucking Yuu over, that's a good one. If she forgot to give back a book Yuu lended to her, is not that she forgot but she's fucking him over for not returning his book.
But suggesting he is tired of girls pushing him around because damn bitches when nothing like that happened is not being biased, I suppose.
