Yancha Gal no Anjou-san - Ch. 197 - Tokio-kun's Biggest Clumsy Act

[JumboWheat01]

Plot stupidity aside, I do kinda like her food-theme bedding. Imagine cozing up in a giant hamburger or camping out as a giant shrimp.

 

[Sindai]

Wait a minute, Chii owns a giant burger.

Chii's....burger...

CHII'S BURGER

 

[wandere]

I read it as she's aware he likes her and also aware that she's a shit person who's undateable.

I read it as she's aware he likes her and also deeply insecure about everyone around her changing while she stays the same. Thematically, Chii is a high schooler in her final year who insists that despite being 17-18 she is still growing, which...that's not happening. She wants to be a youtuber, and says she is going to travel overseas when she graduates. You could see these as realistically almost impossible and/or just in general very childish desires. She doesn't want to grow up yet, while meanwhile all her friends are leaving her behind. I'm not sure how clear this is to other readers, but throughout the manga, Chii clearly hates the idea of change, hidden under the veneer of being the somewhat annoying "gropes other girls boobs"-type character. In other words, Chii is not very mature, and dealing with a situation which requires more maturity than she has. It's very human, y'know? Am I the only person who has felt like everyone else was aging while I stayed the same in the past? No one? Any non-Chii haters around here?

you D:

Chii did. We have a community of Hurt By Chii, we meet every wednesday to lick each other's wounds.
You would not understand therefore, you are not invited.

...dang... well, I hope you guys get through it.

 

[Mangamoz]

Is Chii short for Chizuru?

You're completely correct, but you're forgetting a critical aspect to this whole thing: Teenagers are really, really fucking annoying.

Chii is the archetype of the eternal manchild (or whatever the female equivalent is), the person who can't let go of the past, who's all talk and big dreams but makes at best a token effort following up on any of it, and generally is just someone you eventually outgrow as a person. This is coupled with her crab in a bucket mentality, where instead of supporting her closest friends and the changes in their lives, she wants to drag them into the muck of her standstill attitude with her, keep them from developing. There's also the fact that Tokio is just kind of a decent guy who doesn't deserve being ignored/strung along like this. And finally... this chapter honestly makes things worse, because it seems to recontextualize everything as Chii being completely aware of this, and that's just inexcusable.

I honestly can't say for sure what'd be the best outcome for this arc. I'm curious enough to see it through though.

 

[Jackist]

Thank god she is finally going to come out of the closet and let out poor guy know.

Finally getting vindicated after years of people screaming this romance was going to happen when she's gayer than Big Al.

The modern day female equivalent to a man child is just being a woman under 30 who uses social media. Talking like a baby, purposely messing up words like an infant, acting spoiled and having temper tantrums is somehow, I don't know why, appealing to people on those platforms

 

[henman]

Gluttony is a sin. Moreover, it looks disgusting. Can we already get over it, please?

 

[Kknewkles]

Btw she's just afraid of things changing. She knew all along.
Let's keep this for the tally of predictions when things resolve. So much wild shit, you guys are something else.

We're out here. Just doesn't make sense to get into debates about it-- doesn't feel like they'd go anywhere. I imagine there's others who feel the same. Lurking and all that. I agree with your breakdown of her character, though.

Tokio, open your eyes : she doesn’t want a man, she wants a fridge lol

Zero media literacy from any of yall whining about the Chii chapters I’m begging yall to think for like 3 seconds 🙏 bless up

 

[Lex79]

I'm just waiting for the author to go back to the characters I actually care about.

 

[Crystalball]

"Chii ain't so bad! Y'all meanies!"
Remember when Chii tried to whore her friends out for views online?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Judging by how she read the situation and reacted accordingly by not uploading the vid, i think she knows the mature thing to do and when to do it. She IS mature enough.

She just doesn't wanna do it as long as she can.

This is probably why she put off doing anything at all regarding Tokio, and why he will be the latest remaining, and probably biggest constant factor in her life.

I think author meant to do that, so when she sees Tokio change, it'll give her the push needed to move forward.

The next chapters will probably be a very short conflict followed by conclusion of their arc. Let's wait and see where this goes.

"Media literacy" buzzword detected

Opinion discarded.

 

[yummyyummy]
