At least they were warded off with a well-timed accidental hosing down.
Yeah, nah. Hinagi is clearly just protecting her (future) brother-in-law. Specially after the last chapter. :smugnako:
But I can already see Youta inviting Houjou to go with him and the boys just so the two guys mysteriously "get sick" right before the festival.

Also, I don't get why he forgot that he's also nice to Urara. The class should've know that the five are already a group for a while.

Too bad he didn't manage to invite her. Maybe next chapter.

Ok, so we’ve known they like each other for 20+ chapters now

This mangaka could do the craziest thing right now and make literally anything happen to speed this up

With this pacing, we may actually reach handholding by 2027!
H*ND holding?! I can't believe you'd say that in here!

Unfortunately we gotta wait for them to bump into Rei-sama at the summer festival and Tohno to pick going with MC over his brother. It's gotta happen.

I got serious Bakemonogatari summer vibes from this chapter. It was impossible to not hear “Kimino shiranai monogatari” playing.

Leave my guy alone. Just women weren't enough and now the guys have became enemies too 😭. Putting that aside, I genuinely expected her to take a bite from that popsicle.
I see the usual "classroom guys who get petty jealous over the cute girl in class" shtick is being upheld in this series as well.
At least they were warded off with a well-timed accidental hosing down.

Knowing this series, I'd have actually expected them to support Tohno if he had admitted there's something possibly going on. After all, this series has three core ideas it's sticking to:
  1. Most of the burden on Tohno exists only inside Tohno's own mind, but Tohno himself sees it everywhere around him. That's how trauma works.
  2. Most of the girls approaching Tohno are only interested in Rei-sama.
  3. Rei-sama is awesome.
So, unlike in regular romcom with no such core ideas to follow, those random guys don't need to obey the jealous classmate trope. Nevertheless, Tohno can't really take such heat, no matter their intentions, because he's so crushed by his trauma. That being said, I could naturally be wrong as well, but this is my expectation.

Is it just me or is Fangirl getting more likable with each apparitions ?

Also, SHUT THE F🤬CK UP, YOU PATHETIC COWARDS !! JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE BALLS TO MAKE A MOVE ON HOUJOU DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO MEDDLE WITH OTHERS CHANCES !!!

(Why yes, I do LOATHE the "meddling fanclub members who can't accept someone else getting close of their oshii" trope, how did you know ?)

... Dude, the Math ain't mathing, here :question:

Tohno burden ARE the girls only approaching him to get to Rei.
That's literally the most concrete fact in the series and definitely not "just inside his own mind" !!

The "classmates are jealous mc is close with a girl" trope is so weird. Like, my dudes, they're not even dating and just friends being friendly, what are you jealous about? Are these guys really that bad with girls they can't even befriend them?

Nah. It is because he personally has turned the thing into a trauma, instead of the mere annoyance, which it really is. Amazingly much of his personality is already dictated by how everyone seemingly interested in him is, in reality, only interested in Rei-sama. Rei-sama himself treats him great and only wishes all the best for his little brother. However, mental health is a tricky thing, so an issue objectively small can become crushing for someone, like it has become for Tohno.

However, I was listing the core ideas of the manga, not Tohno's issues. So, if you see a supposed contradiction there, it doesn't mean anything. The core ideas stories follow often seem like that. Specifically, I was addressing the jealous guys scene. That doesn't fall under the core rules, so they don't necessarily need to follow any rules. The author is free to use them otherwise. If you consider this story as a whole, it's not like Tohno was treated poorly, let alone bullied. In fact, since he won't allow himself to trust anyone, he's the one treating others somewhat harshly, every now and then.

half of the population factually constantly trying to manipulate him is an objectively small annoyance? :wooow: you might not be socially normal broski
