Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi o Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 42 - The Uprising of the Nosey Girls

[HellJester]

I really doubt he’s planning to confess, and I don’t think he would have if Hikari hadn’t set the mood the way she did. He’s not that guy.

I went and re-read Chapter 38 where Yuu talks about being careful and not taking his shot until he's 100% sure. Hikari asks him if he ever reached 100% and Yuu answers "I don't know but I had the feeling that I have to say it today."

So I was wrong - it looks like Yuu hadn't pre-planned to confess during the festival because he wasn't at 100%. Instead, it appears the confrontation with Yami was the motivation for Yuu to go ahead and confess. I'm wondering if to Hikari, having witnessed what happened between Yuu and Aya then hearing Yuu mention he felt he had to confess now, it looks like Yuu is feeling guilty and that's why he confessed.

It's Yuu who liked Hikari forever and didn’t do crap about it. It hasn’t even been a year since Hikari developed feelings for Yuu, and unlike him, she, despite her complete inexperience with romance, tried her best and never gave up. Go read Yuu’s side story.

Sending signals isn't really "trying your best" even if you lack experience. Especially if the guy isn't getting them or is unsure. You're making excuses for her. But by all means go off and defend milady's honor. I say this as someone who has issues with all characters to varying degrees. Yami being the one I have the biggest issues with for obvious reasons.

Edit: Honestly the striking is pretty pathetic. 😂

I think Yuu just went on autopilot and was like "I'll deal with this shit later" and decided to go full steam ahead on the confession.

Oh totally - Yuu fully reminds me of folks I describe as "they're not intentionally malicious but" Like the cause of most of his problems is that he doesn't think two steps ahead about anything.

I'm eager to see their interactions with Seki.

Same, they have the same energy.

there's pretty much no chance that they get a happily ever

I think the main characters Hikari and Aya might get their happily ever after of having their friendship repaired.

Waiting 3 months for scene where girl changes clothes while chatting for 6 pages And who on the last page? Another new heroine kōhai type?

thank you for translating

Then gets all depressed and mad when she sees the guy she likes with someone else.

It's her oldest friend with her best friend, not two randos she has no relationship with.

Yeah, @Litreara is clearly incapable of actually discussing things and having their views challenged, and just has to shut down any dissenting opinions. It really is pathetic


Your take is pretty sensible fwiw, the people (one in particular) bending over backwards to paint Hikari as some perfect infallible character are just exhibiting the mental gymnastics (and/or cognitive deficiency) that I mentioned earlier in the thread lol.

She was the junior back in chapter 12 so not new.

I'm sorry but all your criticism of Yuu can literally be given to Hikari. Who had many opportunities to confess but didn't. Then gets all depressed and mad when she sees the guy she likes with someone else. The "but I liked him first" stupidity.

getting mad? did you not read 41? yami literally shit talks about yuu and hikari is the one who defends yuu. She is the bigger person there and already understood that both of them clearly have unresolved feelings. Like the angel she is to these two, she calls out yami for trying lie to herself about how she is as a person.

For the confession, fine, i can give you that, hikari chickened out with the amusement date confession. But that aint the same with yuu. Remember ch17, yuu admits that he has a inferiority complex to hikari. The whole reason he didn't tell her about him trying to go same school as her cus he wanted to catch up to her. He litterally does the trophe of the guy trying to prove that he's good enough to confess to the girl he likes. "If i get the top score, ill confess to her", but the thing about that is, its never about the girl he like, its about fueling his own ego. Yuu litterally admits he could never win against her. Hikari thought he was trying so hard for her, but it wasnt that. Yuu liked hikari for a long time, but its clear that he needed to be equal, or really feel better than her in order to confess to her. his insecurities are way worse than hikaris

and yes before anyone says, hikari can also confess, i ain't denying that, but the only person stopping yuu from confessing is himself.

Look, my guy, I’m tired of arguing about this. I’ve been discussing this manga for a long time, and to be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen you here. If you check the comments on previous chapters, you’ll see that I was there. I’m not about to go in circles in a long discussion, because that’s exactly what would happen. So just think of me however makes you happy.

Like I said, I've been lurking the comments mostly (I think I posted once about how utterly insane some of the Yami defense was). You've been consistently doing the same shit for pretty much every chapter. At a certain point seeing you push your own opinions as fact while shutting everybody else down without even an attempt at discussion gets a bit fucking tiresome. If you're not willing or able to have a conversation on a topic, why even bother posting? I wasn't rude or uncivil in any way in my initial response to you, only gave my perspective and inviting discussion - you're the one who decided to just shut it down, likely because you have no actual response to any of my points. It was only after that that I called you out for the dumbass behaviour.

Yeah, whatever, man. If you don’t want to see my posts, just add me to your ignore list.

Maybe you just need to have been in a similar place emotionally to understand it

Yuu's actions are completely understandable & fit together into a very realistic characterizarion of a person most of us have probably met or been. Where the clash comes in is the arguments that seem to deny he's a character with agency - even if he has very good to him reasons for the things he did, that doesn't absolve him of the responsibility for the harm his actions have caused.

Aya and Hikari also have very good to them reasons for what they've done that caused harm, but I doubt anyone would seriously argue Aya did nothing wrong by ghosting or that Hikari shouldn't have shot herself in the foot by building up grand expectations about the "perfect confession". Hikari and Aya should have also been more honest w/ Yuu about their feelings, but their dishonesty doesn't absolve Yuu of responsibility for his.

Tldr: Actions being understandable doesn't negate responsibility for the fallout.

Wild friends of the love interest appeared!
Yuu uses jirai-kei kouhai
IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!

I don't care about seeing your posts. It's actually kind of amusing in how predictable it is.

Anyway, since you say you're so tired of arguing about it (although I haven't seen any actual arguments from you, only reactions and childish responses), here's a secret for you: if you keep posting your opinions in every chapter, especially opinions as wild as "these normal things for an insecure teenager make him a total piece of shit", you're going to get people disagreeing with you, and you open the topic up for discussion. If you're tired of discussing it, you're under no obligation to keep posting. In any case, I won't bother replying to you any more, since there's zero point in having any form of discussion with people like you.

Yuu's actions are completely understandable & fit together into a very realistic characterizarion of a specific teenager most of us have probably met or been. Where the clash comes in is the arguments that seem to deny he's a character with agency - even if he has very good to him reasons for the things he did, that doesn't absolve him of the responsibility for the harm his actions have caused.

Appreciate the actual response to what I wrote. I agree that he is absolutely not blameless, and is responsible for his own actions, but aside from not telling Hikari about Yami once he knew I'm not seeing what he's done that's caused harm really. Can you elaborate on that part? Granted it's also been a pretty long break so I might be forgetting some stuff he did/said earlier in the series.

 

[Kaito57]

Of course they instantly decided that everything was Yuu fault… typical…

 

[jak]

He's done nothing wrong.

 

[Morwitz]

LMAO instantly back to shitting on Yuu again

 

[jak]

I recommend reading the side story chapters about Yuu; I’ve posted the links on the first page. I think you’ll enjoy them… Minor spoiler: across these five chapters, Maruto shows that Yuu kinda sucks.

What a dumb take.

 

[Litreara]

What a dumb take.

What a dumb reply.

Why this chapter felt like I missed some chapters
