Yancha Gal no Anjou-san - Ch. 216 - Tokio-kun Doesn't Want to Collab

[xanon]

Chi and Toki aren't my favorites, but it's nice seeing a glimpse of progress.

And it should be a crime to get a pile of fries like that! Bottom half is gonna be room temp by the time you get to them. Cold fries suck!

We are also full, Chita... Full of your crap.

Liked this chapter. A lot of realizations coming and some good progression here. They're walking a tight rope in their relationship that's a little harder to parse than the other two couples. This event is forcing some uncomfortable choices though and that's a good thing.

Her reaction to their being called "business partners" was very important. It really shook her in a way and I'm assuming because she realized how impersonal it sounds. Hearing someone else call out their closeness but also distance must have been a bit eye opening. Definitely going through some struggles there and I wonder how they'll evolve passed it.

Not being able to eat sucks though, although her version of not eating is eating "only" 4 plates. Looking forward to the next one.

I forget if we've gotten any sort of history/backstory for Chita, but I almost kinda wonder if all of this eating is her just masking/running away from deeper issues, that may (or may not) have been hinted at previously.
The sudden "I'm full" sorta feels like she's been "eating her emotions" all this time--whether it's fear of change/growing up, her distance from Tokio and from her other friends (the latter being in the process of moving forward with school/relationships/life), or just general dissatisfaction with her lack of channel growth and stagnant position in life, or something.

I agree that hearing a "random stranger" pinpoint the exact impersonal dynamic she has with Tokio--someone she's known since they were children--was significant. I don't think she's actually internalized why it affected her so badly; she did go back to just stuffing her face, after all (again--"coping mechanism", maybe?), so I definitely don't think we're even halfway through whatever moment Chita's having, much less if it sees her having moved forward in some manner, all said and done.
Of the three pairs though, Chita and Tokio are the least developed. I feel like the expectation is for Chita to "grow up" and get into a romantic relationship with Tokio, though I think it's fine if they don't go "conventional" and actually stay friends, but with Tokio becoming an actual partner and close friend.
Whatever the case regarding that, I think the priority is for Chita to actually grow up a bit and get over her fear of change and learn to be less selfish/self-centered when it comes to all of her relationships. Toyoda & Anju are moving forward in their lives, but Chita keeps trying to drag them back to her position, and that's not healthy for anyone.
Maybe Tokio's role will be there to help Chita in that general effort - and whatever "role" he takes at her side, I guess we'll see.

I am in the wrong comment section, somehow.

 

[vanCham]

Oh m. I would have never thought i'd come to like a chapter with Chii. But i genuinly enjoyed
page 13 and

Spoiler

the FUCKING EXISTENTIAL DREAD ON THE FACE OF THAT SUPID PROTO-FATTY.

Get rekt, lardlady.

 

[Crystalball]

I think the worst thing about her characterization is who cares about some viewer chasing brat.
The psychology of a wannabe Youtuber isn't very interesting.

 

[danvolodar]

She finally getting called out. Also not even saying they are friends, just business partners and her not correcting that fact... BRUH, the fucking worst. They have k own each other since they were younger. Could have said."We are childhood buddies" or "He is the little brother of my best friend, so he is more like family then a friend."
Bit no... She just let Business partners be a thing.

She's cold like that.

sadly I just don't care about these side pairings. They're just not as interesting as the main pair and it feels like we get 9 side pair chapters for every 1 main pair.

Toyo and Inuyama are absolutely great, no worse than the protagonists for sure.

 

[brndndss]

good chapter, haters gonna hate.

the 1 thing Chita could count on to keep the 2 of them together, gone. now shell have to actually process her feelings instead of just swallowing them

 

[CommanderWeeaboo]

Toyo and Inuyama are absolutely great, no worse than the protagonists for sure.

To each their own, I personally don't enjoy them as much.

 

[K_Takuya]

Buncha hateful weirdos with one-liners gonna be in the comments as per usual.
The panel exactly after Nyakopi call their relationship as only business hits like a truck.

Hum... This part kind of makes sense to her.
I mean, in her weird logic probably a foodie comrade is more valuable than a friend

 

[Alcion]

We hate Chii because she all her relationships is just down to her needing attention without her reciprocating. She uses others for her own gain, whether just emotional or sometimes monetary, and expects others to just be fine with that.

 

[draxdeveloper]

We are also full, Chita... Full of your crap.

They are my least favorite, but I don't hate them.
But I was 100% sure that someone would say this, lol

 

[Oculunus]

She's losing her powers! Is it time for Chitan to stop leading Tokio on and confront him properly?

 

[PhoolCat]

preggo

 

[Tarage]

Whole lotta incel in this thread.

 

[MarMar37]

The two side couples continue to be way more interesting than the main one.

That's pretty much her entire arc rn which is why it's kinda dull. All we really know about her is that she's scared of change which is why she doesn't like her gal pals getting boyfriends and focusing more on their future instead of playing.
This could be relatable and a fine arc but the problem with Chita is that we've only seen this selfish side of her, we haven't seen much good from her or any decent reasoning why she's so scared of change. I feel like if we got any actual depth tied to her insecurities and more of her positive traits people would come around to her more

 

[Rekdeksek34]

Honestly I was expecting the vtuber to have an attraction towards tokio which would explain why she only ask to collab with him. But damn she wreck chita's whole world.

Also I feel a chicken onsie would fit chii better since tokio is in a fox one.

Agree. We got a lot that's forcing her to realize things. Finally, progress.

Her reaction to the business partners thing said it all.
