Kanojo ni Uwaki Sareteita Ore ga, Koakuma na Kouhai ni Natsukareteimasu - Ch. 31

[18thMoon]

I’m sorry, but this is complete bullshit. Reina allowed her best friend Natsuki, and some random guy she calls her “junior,” to convince her that Yuuta was cheating on her with Ayaka. Instead of confronting Yuuta or having an honest conversation, she let her jealousy build up and acted on it. At no point does she say she tried to talk to him about what she was feeling. She never gave him the chance to explain, to understand, or even to realize that something was wrong.

What makes it worse is that she still expects Yuuta to confide in her whenever he’s going through something. That’s a one-sided view of what trust and communication in a relationship should be. Reina never told him, “Hey, I feel uncomfortable. You always go to Ayaka when something’s wrong, but I’m your girlfriend, you never open up to me like that.” If she had, there’s a good chance Yuuta would’ve understood and taken a step back from Ayaka out of respect for their relationship. But Reina didn’t give him that chance. She kept everything bottled up, let those assumptions and insecurities fester, and then let them dictate her behavior.

Not once did she try to understand the friendship between Yuuta and Ayaka. She didn’t ask to spend time with them or observe their dynamic for herself. Instead, she blindly accepted what Natsuki told her, even though Natsuki didn’t know Yuuta at all, and used that as the foundation for her beliefs. That isn’t just careless... that’s unfair. I understand that Natsuki may have just been trying to protect her friend, but making accusations about someone you’ve never even met isn’t support, it’s reckless judgment. Reina had every opportunity to think for herself, to get to know Ayaka, or at least to try to clear the air.

Instead, she acted on her jealousy. She embraced this “junior” in a clearly intimate way, seeking emotional validation from someone else. I don’t blame the junior, he was obviously interested in her, but Reina should’ve set a boundary. She should’ve had enough trust in Yuuta, and in herself, to shut that down immediately. But she didn’t. She let her emotions take control and acted out of spite. This wasn’t about love or affection, it was about trying to feel like she was on equal footing with Yuuta emotionally, even though Yuuta didn’t even know there was a problem.

Could Yuuta have been more attentive? Sure. Maybe he should’ve noticed something was off and tried to talk to her about it. But he’s not a mind reader. The burden of communication goes both ways, and Reina completely failed to uphold her side. Her actions weren’t just immature, they were intentional. She allowed herself to become emotionally involved with someone else out of resentment, and even though it didn’t escalate physically, the intent was there. If Yuuta hadn’t walked in when he did... who knows what would’ve happened next? Emotional cheating is cheating, and in this case, the line was clearly crossed.

Instead of trusting Yuuta, she put her faith in outside voices. Instead of protecting her relationship, she sabotaged it from the inside. Reina didn’t just betray Yuuta, she betrayed the trust their entire relationship was built on. And for that, I don’t believe she deserves a second chance. This wasn’t a slip-up or a misunderstanding. It was a series of deliberate choices made out of jealousy and insecurity. And when you willingly open the door to someone else while shutting your partner out, that’s not something you can just apologize away.

That’s just my honest opinion.

the funny part about all these comments is 90% of you would lose your fucking minds if your girlfriend was constantly hanging out with a male best friend whom you perceived to be better than you, but keep coping lol

The only difference is that we would communicate like a normal fucking human being and not act like this dumbass in the story.

 

[shadowsito]

Not going to make an essay; just want to say that I can see the point she makes but also that she is fucking retarded.

 

[UdenEmpati]

TRUE! Holy hell, this comment section is filled with projection and incel whinging.

No I'm not excusing what she did, it is cheating and it was bad. Seems everyone agrees to that to a degree.

MC also made mistakes by not confiding in his GF about stuff that is troubling him. Sure, he wanted to be a 'good' BF by trying to keep that stuff away from her but, like the GF said, that just makes the partner feel like you don't trust them.

Messy young adult stuff that people learn about as they grow up.

The people in this comment section, oh boy, treating the GF like she killed his dog or something. Yea, she cheated, yea she should have talked to him but y'all acting like nothing bad happened to her because of it. He broke up with her. Y'all acting like she should be quartered.

I bet more than half of you have never known the touch of a woman and, no, body pillows don't count. Touch some grass, talk to people, grow a heart, or don't, I'm not your dad.

"he broke up with her" isn't the same sort of bad thing happening as what she did to Yuuta, fyi. That was more just the consequences of her actions.
Failure in communication is the actual problem here, yes. Yuuta's not entirely blameless, of course. But he also wasn't the one who cheated. He was clear about his relationship with Ayaka, and made the effort to have Reina meet her and hang out together, and even said "I'll stop seeing her so much if it bothers you because you also matter" - and Reina told him not to worry about it.

"Messy young adult stuff" is correct, but Reina was absolutely the issue here, because even Natsuki told her she had to figure out how she felt about it all herself, and instead Reina let herself be goaded into "experimenting" with some random horndog kouhai who would've promised her the moon if it meant he could get in her pants. And she did that in front of Yuuta's house on their one-year anniversary date.

I think touching grass is less important than reading comprehension, in-context, currently.

 

[cogniferous]

Please tell me they don’t end up back together

Spoiler

again, if the spoilers are right, nah

The only difference is that we would communicate like a normal fucking human being and not act like this dumbass in the story.

this is easy to say as an outsider, but talking about this is essentially admitting you don't fully trust your so(which let's be real, if it's not a long term relationship, you kinda don't), and a lot of times this will lead to a breakup

I don't agree with the other people here saying you can't maintain a friendship with someone of the opposite sex, it really depends on the person and what that friendship entails tho

super succinct for how much you had to cover, and I wholeheartedly concur.

The only thing I'll push back on is that Reina's "junior" was absolutely an opportunistic horny scumbag who would've promised her the moon if it meant he had a chance to get in her pants, and I blame him slightly less than I do Natsuki, because she's ostensibly Reina's friend - and he straight up said "I'd never cheat on you" while trying to get her to cheat with him.

So I hope he was left blue-balled after Yuuta caught them that day lol

 

[DexDK]

Yeah no, F*** off Reina. If you were that jealous, you should at least let him know. You were the one who said he didn't have to interact less with Ayaka when he offered to. B****!

 

[CynicalPepper]

I wonder if they're actually trying to make us sympathize with her or are just digging her hole. Even if it isn't physical cheating, its 100% emotional cheating lmao. Get her out of here lol

 

[UzunBoyluCuce]

I don't agree with the other people here saying you can't maintain a friendship with someone of the opposite sex, it really depends on the person and what that friendship entails tho

What do you mean by what that friendship entails?

yeah imagine asking your GF about the friend and she says nothing and then showing her picture and asking them to meet which she also seemed fine with all that while her shitty friends are feeding her terrible advice and she never once tells the MC about anything

MC literally couldnt have done anything better other than being a mind reader, how is this a hard concept?

I think they're just talking about how the protag didn't confide his troubles with Reina first, which he probably did to not worry her but it's definitely one of the few things she can be understandably anxious over here. Still nothing next to her own actions though

Ah yes, there is always one comment from a simp calling people incels and using ad hominems because a fictional woman is getting called out because of her stupid actions and hypocrisy.

 

[Nitrouse]

If I remember right from a comment read if this is the right series then in the original Renia push the guy to the ground right after the mc finds them holding hands and Renia did not know the mc was their it also turns out that Natsuki was trying to manipulate everyone to ruin their relationship with the mc because she hates him.

sounds like Natsuki, so that could be correct lol.

That Girl should touch some Grass and get a gold of herself. She drove her "bff" into unhappiness just because she didnt like her BF. If one of my friends would try to pull a stunt like that, he had a broken Nose or even worse.

 

[MrJerk]

is the author trying to light our gas? the junior had no right to say nothing, bro just brain washed her, same for the glasses friend, the fact that you dont have a friend from the opposite sex doesnt mean any other person dont have them. this is stupid and if by any chance the MC decided to forgive his Ex.. thats just poor writting

 

[Nitrouse]

Ah yes, there is always one comment from a simp calling people incels and using ad hominems because a fictional woman is getting called out because of her stupid actions and hypocrisy.

And in the same comment he said that ppl "should touch grass" etc while also saying he isnt our Dad. Kekw.
You either condone it or not. The whole comment makes him look like a clown.

 

[cogniferous]

What do you mean by what that friendship entails?

well someone like ayaka for example(as unrealistic as it is), with whom the mc is constantly hanging out with, while she has been single the entire time, it should be pretty obvious that she is hoping for more from the relationship, I'd say it's pretty much impossible to maintain a close-knit friendship with someone like this while also being in a romantic relationship with someone else

in order to maintain that friendship in real life you'd have to make it very clear to that person that you don't see them that way, give them a bit of time, and maybe then you could go back to being friends

in any case you'd have to acknowledge the romantic feelings the other person has to begin with, and manga mcs are really bad at doing that xdd

 

[blablablub]

Is this "society" person in the room with us now? Does their opinion really matter?
Can't you think for yourself?

 

[finalm]

Nah, all of these comments are just simply crazy. Do we even read the same chapter??? Just switch up the fck*n role, imagine ur GF is the one who has a male best friend that just straight far superior than you instead. And furthermore, he chose to ask her for a help when he was in trouble instead of even mentioning anything to you, and you just found out by accident after it happened. Communication?? Straight asking him if he is cheating?? Asking him to just straight cut-off his best friend?? Most of these actions would not exactly do you any goods. Miscommunication happens all the time, there are a lot of things that can't be easily communicate with and are much better not to, no matter what kind of relationship you have. Can't even really blame her all that much, all she did was trying to test if she will feel guilty or not on a whim if she is the one having an opposite gender best friend instead. Honestly, this mange deserves harem route ending judging by how the story is being told this far.

Why would it be such a big deal that the other person has their own life, social circle and close friends? What's the point even thinking of what-if's regarding them? There's nothing to be done if that were to happen, worrying about it won't help.

I truly get where you’re coming from, but the junior doesn’t owe Yuuta any loyalty. Think about it — if someone tries to get with your girl, what loyalty do they have to you? They’re not your friend. It’s your girlfriend’s responsibility to shut that down. If she claims she’s loyal to you and wants to be with you, then she should have enough resolve to say no and not even entertain the idea.

So honestly, I can’t fault him for trying. His goal is to get with her. Now, if he and Yuuta were actually friends, then yeah, I’d say Yuuta has every right to be pissed. But that’s not the case, they don’t even know each other. He’s just competition.

And when you’re in a relationship, especially with a beautiful girlfriend, there are always going to be guys who try to shoot their shot. That’s just how it is. So are you going to be mad at every guy who approaches your girl? You shouldn’t be. The focus shouldn’t be on the guy, it should be on whether or not your girl respects the relationship enough to shut that down.

That might not always play out perfectly... but that’s exactly why I believe Reina is at fault — along with Natsuki. They both played a part in letting things spiral. But the junior? I can’t really fault him for being an op. At the end of the day, an op doesn’t owe you anything.

oh yeah no, I'm not saying Glasses was a scumbag for betraying Yuuta or anything like that.

I just don't respect opportunistic guys like that in general, which is also my own bias-informed perspective.
And I still think he was less at fault than Natsuki who made judgment calls on Yuuta without ever having met him, and I fault her less than I do Reina who brought all of this on herself by just not talking to Yuuta and letting her inner insecurities fester until it all blew up in her face.

I don't even think Yuuta should be pissed at Glasses. It's mostly just his whole M.O. that I think is shitty.
And it's admittedly convenient to just point at the rando horndog interloper and be like "you're an easy scapegoat target so I hope you get punched in the face" for when you want to vent your frustration.

 

[DragonEmpyrean]

Don't know who's worse here, the cheating girlfriend, her bitch friend who tried to steal her ex after they broke up or the guy she cheated with

I’m sorry but what are you on about? Natsuki never tried to get with the MC

 

[UzunBoyluCuce]

well someone like ayaka for example(as unrealistic as it is), with whom the mc is constantly hanging out with, while she has been single the entire time, it should be pretty obvious that she is hoping for more from the relationship, I'd say it's pretty much impossible to maintain a close-knit friendship with someone like this while also being in a romantic relationship with someone else

in any case you'd have to acknowledge the romantic feelings the other person has to begin with, and manga mcs are really bad at doing that xdd

Let's be honest the protag ain't acknowledging anything in a million years, and seeing how they've known each other for like what, 4 years? Ayaka is too stubborn to confess herself.

On the other hand, this was the case during his relationship with Reina, but during the events of the series he's started to become aware of Ayaka too, so that may no longer be the case.
