Dame Ningen no Aishikata - Vol. 3 Ch. 14 - A girlfriend who works in the shadow with a useless human

[Saikeno]

No one beating the Makima Expy.

Did some someone say "bourgeois"?

I believe in a two-wife solution ✊

Neither of them deserve him.

 

[xXPenisXx]

Really need a manga for a dumbass like Miyabi to win. Cute, stupid, bratty, remorseful, fantastic body. She can't win this one, so I need to get my fix elsewhere.

 

[misopogon]

Competition is making her more unhinged

Not!Nagi mogging Not!Kana in her own game. What a (not so for me bc of the raws) 5d chess move. Not!Kazuya telling the same turtle man Uzume was the girl who rejected him in high school felt like some counterpart to his brave confession chapters ago.

We are near the miniarc climax moment where those 2 end fighting and Shinba has to man up and let Miyabi know who's the person he loves and wants to be with right now. Although Miyabi and her emoting teruterubouzu may not be the freakiest obstacles... Onesho-sensei is the one who may end being the most... weird obstacle.

Wondering when will Hizumi's eyes recover or gain their light... or more precisely, what will Shinba say to make her dead eyes recover it. Right now she looks like Nagi in her gomennasai/dejected/angry mode with those opaque pupils.

It almost feels like the author should have put another chapter between this and the previous one, also, when is he planning to tell her about the kiss?

 

[nxneil13]

IDK why but in my head, my mind interpreted the end as the cf yelling at the end "YOU SLUT, U EDITED A YOUTUBE VIDEO WITH HIM! HOW DARE YOU" lol

 

[Njin]

This is toxic beyond belief. I want more

 

[FiddlePop]

Imo, Hizumi is one of the better done menhera/Yandere in the recent years

She is manipulative, abusive but doesn't have that Aizen level foresight and doesn't seem to be doing illegal shit

 

[Exceleratorr]

Am I the only one who thinks Miyabi is way healthier for him

The funniest shit is that the author consider Hizumi as neither of both. Not even a tsundere.

...he simply sees Hizumi as a devoted girlfriend.

Both are pretty terrible and a literal obstacles to his self improvement. But he is comical levels of bad at everything he does (just check every panel while they were at the amusement park, he is fumbling literally everything) so MC himself is kinda the most unrealistic character in the story. I refuse to believe anyone can be this pathetic. Woman like the other 2 are dime a dozen in contrast (except being willing to settle with a birth error like MC).

Yeah, what can I say…good writing.

The whole thing seemed like Hizumi never existed and Miyabi was having the time of her life. Everything was going according to plan. Until…

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!

She got DEMOLISHED is such a subtle and crude way. Scenes got replaced with Hizumi in the video. Damn, that’s cold and I really didn’t see that coming.

Hizumi was shown, sure, but couldn’t really make anything of her plan.

That’s so cruel, man. I feel bad for Miyabi. She got bombed.

Good chapter, man. I like this manga. I rarely comment. Seems like run of the mill but it got that special sauce, I don’t know.

 

[CulR]

This is the first time in a very VERY long time that I've seen a manga where introducing a love rival a bunch of chapters in has actually propelled it to greater heights. It is crazy how much better it is since Miyabi showed up.

probably because the rival is a punching bag this time—not just for the viewer, but for the characters too. Author set her up to stand no chance, and it's so much fun! My favorite part about her are her earrings and her fatalisee side.

Can someone explain to me what Hizumi did? I can see she got involved in the editing somehow. But what was the reversal about?

Next chapter explains what happened Hizumi and Shinba speedran the previous dates in just one day and turned the outing into a vlog, but unlike Miyabi's mindset, Hizuni's was about making new memories, not erasing and rewriting them. Miyabi actually gets fkn pissed, goes to attack Hizumi in a ragefit and we get her backstory

You misspelled Keikaku as p-l-a-n.

She just seems like a narcicist who chased fame over those who loved her, ended up learning the bad parts of becoming famous (the ammount of insincere attention) and has crawled back to the person that gave her sincere attention, but is still too much of a narcicist to admit it. So not optimal, but basically one heart to heart and a few apologies away from becoming normal.

Hizumi does seem to have way more bagage at the moment, but that's probably just a consequence of being the main character since she has to be the one with the deepest backstory and motives. She'll end up getting "fixed" to some extent or Shinba will just accept the way she is and that will be it if I had to guess.

I may be biased because I currently like Miyabi's character more (as per my other comment), but I'd love to see a manga with a character like her as the MC. Outside of maybe villainess reincarnation/isekai, redeemed narcicist who learns their lesson is an extremely underused trope for a romance female MC for some reason even though it isn't super rare for male MCs.

It feels like romance manga female MCs can only have more "virtuous" types of bagage like trauma or social anxiety and things like that instead of regular negative personality traits that they can fix when they self-reflect as they grow up. It kinda perpetuates the idea that good people were always good and just misunderstood and bad people will always be bad and irredeemable even if that wasn't the intention. It is one of the things that has always irked me about romance manga even after a decade of reading.

Crazy how shonen probably has more realistic personal growth stories than even seinen romance lmao.
