TS Tensei Bishoujo Netora Reiko wa Netoraretai - Ch. 4 - The Start of Summer

[1idd0kun]

Did you just choose to ignore where I said that Reiko is setting up future events by finding candidates to fill certain roles for the eventual scenario?

Reiko is setting all that up, yes, but she's not following NTR archetypes. At least if we're talking about the characters. They aren't based on NTR archetypes. You could argue the "story" that Reiko is setting up follows the usual NTR plotline, and sure that seems to be the case. But the characters she's choosing look like a bunch of pretty boys (and a pretty girl) than a group of NTR characters.

Funny thing is, the prologue with Reiko as a male is more inline with actual NTR archetypes. Reiko male version totally has the NTR vibe. But he's not part of the story anymore. And Reiko's efforts to set up the NTR of her dreams look more like she's unwittingly building a harem.

black bars and white light rays, really? and it was not even anything proper lewd, i am losing faith on this.

 

[Rumimi]

this manga is soooo peak omggg 😭
love all the tropes and characters so far
and kazuma flavor now? yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

Why is the English censored like that but the Chinese one isn’t? That makes no bloody sense.

When was there a Chinese version? I don't see it.

 

[Playerbase]

So yeah, for everyone wanting the uncensored version.

The Chinese TL doesn't have censoring (atleast the 4.1 and 4.2 chapters)

Also kinda surprised that
Chii-Chan(The Main Shota) doesn't have blonde hair.

Since I vividly remember the novel describing him having wheat-gold hair(or something similar)

This is the second time I see someone mentioning the Chinese version but the only versions I see on this site are Vietnamese and English?

Oh wait a minute.

My bad actually, my eyes don't look for details that much(and the last time I saw a Vietnamese work was so long ago) that my brain thought it was Chinese(maybe due to the style of art).

So correction, Vietnamese TL had the uncensored parts(mostly uncensored, but atleast not as censored as EN TL).

The brainrot never ends...

Someone said the Viet team redrew it themselves?

You could just ask try asking directly, tho @shimakazevn speaks (well, writes) in English as well

 

[tiniestkid]

Ok I know everyone is discussing the black bars,

but wtf is going on here on page 20??

you can refer to my post.

the source chapter, i.e what they post on their app and no where else, cause no tankobon yet.

has those black bars on them. And I triple check around and seeing 0 country has the manga license yet so the VN TL is 100% redraw/edit, which the EN TL won't do.

I checked with the raw/source from the app and it has censored.

Pretty sure those tl either redraw (doubt) or just put it through some type of program.

 

[Senros]

Gotta catch them all

Nothing there to censure at all. Goes to show how pervy the uploader is to bother censuring

Geez, go and check the official source, then we'll talk

 

[EchoGirl]

Geez, go and check the official source, then we'll talk

I wonder if the magazine? will tone it down next time/not make it obvious (b/c the big bars make it seem worse than it is) but feels like a missed opportunity by the artist to not do it on purpose and draw some kinda troll design/angles to cover it versus the standard (altho if ppl keep commenting maybe you should put it as a footnote in the first page of ur next chapter if not edit this one, or maybe dm the viet team if you can and ask if you can use their redraws)

Getting the hunch this won't ever ACTUALLY go full NTR, but just be a collection of jabs at the different character archtypes found in NTR hentai.

Yeah at the start I hope but now I think she will keep making excuse not till high school or would ruin my plan, she'll fall in love with MC and live happy ever after with him

 

[legendaryswordsman]

I mean we've seen plenty of series where 'male pervert gets harem'. This is essentially 'female pervert gets harem'. In that way, I see it as refreshing.

Thanks for the scanlation.

It does have a refreshing feeling, but then u realise when push comes to shove she will do nothing and always make excuses

 

[legendaryswordsman]

This is dragging, feel like NTR is never going to be happen at this point. Would hate to see some lame cop out

In first couple of chapters I hope for that but then I realised she is just going to keep up ntr prototype but never follow through. I already figured out that she will develop real feelings for mc

 

[legendaryswordsman]

Or the universe gets in her way every single time.

No way she will end up falling in love for real with the male lead and won't want to hurt him

 

[legendaryswordsman]

The flip side is that there's an actual narrative to this with a professed end goal from the protagonist.
So it does require some sort of conclusion to the journey. If it's not "full NTR", then it needs to be something like a subversion of the genre itself that plays out toward an end point, and not just a series of loosely-connected vignettes that make a run of all the tropes and archetypes & iterations.

So in that sense--I think we will see Reiko's plan actually culminate once she's collected all her targets and participants--probably around their 3rd year of school, if I had to guess (haven't looked at the source material to see where it's at/if it's concluded).
But, whatever she thinks is going to happen, won't. Whether it'll be a false alarm and no actual NTR will happen, or it'll be some "reverse Uno" where Reiko ends up getting cucked, or some other option, is up for debate.

I personally like the reverse cuck route. Reiko's entire character revolves around being the perpetrator, both before and now, and the amount of effort and diligence she's putting into setting all of this up just screams for an unforeseen factor to come in and knock her tower to the ground right at the moment of triumph.
But, this is playing out with a lot of comedic elements, and it's all but setting up the potential for everything to get subverted right when the protagonist least expects it. She's the epitome of genre-savvy, and so if this is going to be an actual critique of NTR stories, Reiko will be the one to actually 'suffer' the story's climax.

Otherwise, it'll be shooting straight, and she'll succeed in all her plans, and I don't know if that sort of payoff to something this long-form would feel satisfying, as it becomes entirely predictable at that point (that's admittedly pretty influenced by my subjective take based on the genre being depicted and its controversial nature, though).
Maybe if she has to suceed through interference by someone who also has meta-knowledge of what she's doing, giving her a proper "rival" that exists outside the setting in the same manner she does? I could see it working that way, and then Reiko becomes a proper heroine (albeit a despicable one) for whom the reader would root to "succeed".

But I think it'll go the critique & subvert route, setting Reiko up for her ultimate defeat.

I'll be very curious if it ends that way quite a way to go, but for now the ending I predict is she fell for male lead over time and will keep making excuses not do ntr stuff, eventually realised her feelings and get together properly

 

[legendaryswordsman]

This is literally the 4th chapter.

There's a ton more NTR tropes that have to be established and prepared, per the protagonist's self-stated goal.
It's also a long-form manga, and (likely) deconstructing the NTR genre in its entirety.



If you're bored and expecting actual NTR to happen, I suggest finding some doujin to read over on the Numbers Site. Might be more your speed.

I don't think it's so much bored it's thinking ok she has this big plan for high school, but when it comes to it will be to cruel in her eyes, she will already have fallen for male lead so they will end up as normal ISH couple
