Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 41 - Everything, Falling Apart

[mug3n]

Fantasy aside, I think what Hikari is doing is not so much trying to get Yuu and Yami together but rather trying to help Yami to realize her true feelings and be honest/vulnerable.

Yeah, it lools like she's trying to make people around her to stop with the bullshit. The last panels Aya taunting Hikari looks like a setup for a final bitchslap to Aya.

Now, will that happen or Hikari will break on how horrible Aya is being to her?

 

[Kimochi-kun]

Thanks for the TL

Good to see Hikari confronts Yami about this

 

[mug3n]

"Bind him with your body"

Honestly with everything that Yami been through and seen with her own family, you'd think that would be one of the last kind of advice that she would give.

What she said is horrible, but also that's how a lot of the time happens with traumatic experiences, they normallze that. If you were abused there is a big chance you will become an abuser.

this is crazy work

Yami a shit

 

[story645]

Oh, that would be on the hope that she went back to school too, because during their time dating she never did.

Yes, which if he cared about Aya more than Hikari finding out would maybe be a risk worth taking. Granted, 'm also slightly baffled that he never put together that Aya chan was Yami sempai since Aya behaves much the same w/ both of them and he knows Aya goes to Hikari's school and was cutting class often enough that being held back was plausible.

And nobody gives a shit about my homeboy yuu getting fucked left, right and center.

Nope 'cause he is in a mess of his own making? Just about everything Aya said in her crash out is something she said passive aggressively while they were dating - he chose not to confront her on her "always lying". He also chose to go to the school festival knowing he could run into Aya to avoid a conflict w/ Hikari, and then chose to not warn Hikari about the potential conflict. Like it's not all his fault sure, but he definitely bears an at least equal share of responsibility.

Not sure if Hikari is hoping Yuu rejects Yami.

Same, in a lot of ways it's easier for Hikari if Yuu doesn't reject Yami b/c then Hikari doesn't really have to figure out if she can move past their relationship. For similar reasons, it's also a lot easier for Hikari to stay friends w/ Aya. Which also means it's an easy out for the author...

I don't think he's done with the foreshadowing yet

Sure, but I don't think the "bind him w/ body" is foreshadowing here b/c I thought (was arguing) that it was clear back in like the manga cafe chapter that Aya was feeling like Yuu was mostly only in it for the sex and that Aya was using physical intimacy to deflect from emotional intimacy, b/c emotional intimacy is more dangerous territory b/c the rejection hurts more.

 

[Starbright]

Wonder how things go from here will Hikari just still act like friends with them and act like nothing happened if so thats not going to work.

Also think the author should highlight that yami is likely bipolar and needs to get help. She keeps flip flopping on everything.

Curious what the conclusion with story be getting based off the title that Hikari and yuu won't end up together in the end. Will be interesting what level of relationship they will still have will they still be friends or become strangers to each other.

Will be interesting how Yuu will also process what will happen and wonder if he will hold resentment toward yami next time they meet.

 

[Rarez]

But for real tho, Yuu is kinda innocent in this matter, literally a victim of circumtances.

Pretty much. Unless you got a problem with

• A person not sharing what happened to them to an (presumably) unrelated third-party.
• victims not sharing what happened to them

Yuu is pretty much clean here.

Dude got ghosted and just let it go. And dude got assaulted and he's the problem?

 

[nogoodsumbeach]

Welp, Summer Comiket is scheduled for August 16–17, so maybe sometime after that?

August would also be around the time of the release date for the novel right? So yeah i agree, i think it would be around that time the manga would be back i think.

And out of topic, but i really hope the side story novel maruto gonna post during the hiatus is gonna worth the read. I wish it also include Yuu pov because god knows we all need to see what he is thinking lol

 

[Starbright]

Pretty much. Unless you got a problem with

• victims not sharing what happened to them to an (presumably) unrelated third-party.
• victims not sharing what happened to them

Yuu is pretty much clean here.

Is that something he should of been honest about especially knowing the results? It's one thing if he initiated the kiss but she forced herself on him. Don't really see him as a bad guy for wanting to keep secret that he was in a prior relationship.

 

[GennArc]

Hikari lowkey provoking Aya with naivety dressed up as kindness here.

I sincerely hope she does. I hope she becomes the type of character who knows kindness can hurt and uses it (while still being actually kind).
But until we know for sure, I will have to assume that Hikari is still being her naive kind angelic self from before. Which is my main gripe with her as a character.

 

[noleafclover75]

Man Yami is such garbage, been calling that out since the first backstory arc. Complete human garbage.

Good chapter though. See yall in a few months probably.

Edit: I do see Yuu in a much better light now. Still think he fucked up sticking his dick in crazy, but mistakes have huge consequences at times.

Hikari is probably the best friend most people could ask for. Yami doesn't deserve her, she needs her but she is trying her hardest to drive her away for sure.

If Yuu does decide to get back together, i hope he knows he is in for a lifetime of whatever she is right now. Most people can not change their ways. It takes a lot for that to happen and Yami has yet to prove she can change in any meaningful way longterm.

 

[GennArc]

Also Maruto just had to give Hikari all the lines that Yami wanted to hear from Yuu. This is just glorious. Can't wait for the next volume.
Feels like "I haven't thought a millimeter about the story from here on" is a cover-up for something, considering he already wrote a side story.

 

[mug3n]

Is that something he should of been honest about especially knowing the results?

Yes, he should have, this clusterfuck wouldn't have happened if he asked Hikari what's wrong with her when for 2 chapters she was gloomy and silent during the dance. He is the one that could have stopped this if he thought a little more about the people around him.

 

[Catbowl]

It took me a few rereads (plus checking the novel chapter) to grasp that Yami doesn't actually expect Hikari to believe her crazy cover story, since she knows Hikari saw the intense breakup+kiss. In the heat of the moment, she wanted Hikari to witness the extent of her hidden feelings as she gave them up, but then afterward she regretted shoving it in Hikari's face like that. So she's long-shot hoping that if Hikari correctly recognizes that she's giving Yuu up, Hikari may humor the flimsy cover story and just take Yuu without digging up the raw truth again in all its gory detail. But that would be the same as accepting Yuu's earlier confession for expedience, and Hikari already decided she doesn't want to roll that way, so Yami really had no chance of avoiding this reckoning.

 

[Rarez]

He is the one that could have stopped this if he thought a little more of the rest around him.

We should be blaming Yami for this right? If Yami just let Yuu go it would have been smooth sailing for everyone.

Yuu fully got roped into this. Dude was (presumably) fine being friends with his ghostin' ex.

 

[Litreara]

Same, in a lot of ways it's easier for Hikari if Yuu doesn't reject Yami b/c then Hikari doesn't really have to figure out if she can move past their relationship. For similar reasons, it's also a lot easier for Hikari to stay friends w/ Aya. Which also means it's an easy out for the author...

I mean… but how would that even play out? Based on Yuu’s conversation with Yami and his confession to Hikari, I just don’t get the sense that he has any romantic interest in Yami. Yeah, because she witnessed the kiss, Hikari thinks he was lying about the confession—which he wasn’t—and she also believes Yami is lying about not having feelings for Yuu—and she’s right about that. But Hikari is kind of acting based on a misunderstanding. So I don’t see how Maruto could make it work, in a way that actually makes sense, for her to act as a bridge between Yuu and Yami when Yuu doesn’t even want to be with Yami. He wants to be with Hikari.

 

[Starbright]

Yes, he should have, this clusterfuck wouldn't have happened if he asked Hikari what's wrong with her when for 2 chapters she was gloomy and silent during the dance. He is the one that could have stopped this if he thought a little more of the rest around him.

Was he suppose to figure out that was on her mind and know that she saw them kissing?

Personally I think his faults are only two one being easily allowing himself to get with another girl if he ever hoped to get with Hikari down the line.

Second being he should of known with how erratic Yami was that she would mess up their relationship which she did so to me that was the only rational reason for him to preemptively let her know things.

 

[HereForErotica]

NOW YOU KNOW I FELT LAST CHAPTER LMAFO. THIS MANGA MAKES YOU WRITE ESSAYS

but for real, I still think Yami is the worst between her and yuu. Im open to yuu growing and getting some redemption, but he does not derserve hikari. Litterally yuu and yami should just get back together and let hikari find someone actually good for her.

I will say as someone who picked this up very early on I wasn't expecting the twist and I really didn't like it because I had no faith in this becoming anything more than ragebait, but the latest chapters have definitely salvaged it.

imo Yami is basically textbook garbage and easy to hate but the saying 'don't stick your dick in crazy' exists for a reason and not only did Yuu go all in, he had the getaway of a lifetime and then threw it all in the trash by acting like nothing happened when he ran into her again. I don't see them getting back together but i agree that he doesn't deserve Hikari regardless of growth

Pretty much. Unless you got a problem with

• victims not sharing what happened to them to an (presumably) unrelated third-party.
• victims not sharing what happened to them

Yuu is pretty much clean here.

Dude got ghosted and just let it go. And dude got assaulted and he's the problem?

One wrong party doesn't automatically mean another party has to be in the right. If you just let go of a good relationship after the other person straight up disappears then you couldn't have cared much about it if you didn't put any effort into at least finding out why or if they're okay, and her being a crazy bitch doesn't invalidate her anger at his general casualness and dismissiveness over it all. Yuu getting assaulted doesn't suddenly erase the other shit he's done and make him innocent

We should be blaming Yami for this right? If Yami just let Yuu go it would have been smooth sailing for everyone.

Yuu fully got roped into this. Dude was (presumably) fine just being friends with his ghostin' ex.

There was no closure between them. Being friends is one thing but he was basically brushing it all under the rug because it was convenient for him now that he was going to go confess to Hikari.

I mean… but how would that even play out? Based on Yuu’s conversation with Yami and his confession to Hikari, I just don’t get the sense that he has any romantic interest in Yami. Yeah, Hikari thinks he was lying about the confession—which he wasn’t—and she also believes Yami is lying about not having feelings for Yuu—and she’s right about that.

So I don’t see how Maruto could make it work, in a way that actually makes sense, for her to act as a bridge between Yuu and Yami when Yuu doesn’t even want to be with Yami. He wants to be with Hikari.

Exactly why Yami lashed the fuck out. Yuu basically got his rocks off and moved on easily.

Was he suppose to figure out that was on her mind and know that she saw them kissing?

Personally I think his faults are only two one being easily allowing himself to get with another girl if he ever hoped to get with Hikari down the line.

Second being he should of known with how erratic Yami was that she would mess up their relationship which she did so to me that was the only rational reason for him to preemptively let her know things.

I agree but those are two pretty major faults all things considered imo and directly connect to the whole "he doesn't think of anyone around him." Hikari absolutely deserved to know that he'd gotten with Yami as soon as he knew they were friends, regardless if he knew that she knew they kissed or not.

 

[PhilPhedora]

Hikari needs to ditch those snake-ass trashy losers and get with an upstanding, wholesome and loyal boy (me)
