Boku no Ikezu na Konyakusha - Ch. 20.2

[Nehona]

Classic spineless self-sabotaging MC in a manga. This can't end without him autistically shouting his REAL feelings at her after fucking up, huh?

I will point out, the MC has been confessing to her SINCE CHAPTER ONE.

She's the one who NEVER told him she likes him. Not a single time. So it's 90% her fault, really.

 

[Ibri]

Honestly realistically this shouldn't do much beside hurting her feelings

I SWEAR TO GOD IF THIS GOD DAMN POINTLESS DRAMA LAST LOBGER THEN A SINGLE CHAHPTER I WAS LOSE MY MIND!!!!!!

"I know you just told me you chose to be with me of your own will, and that you chose the school that makes you happy, but I agree with your brother that you should do the exact opposite of what you think you want. Because we know you can do better than that."
…
"Wait, was that bad?"

Did you even read the chapter? She literally said it was due to her grandfather. She said nothing about it being for Sorata.

And why didn't the autistic bitch FMC never say her own feelings?

 

[Senros]

We were so close!

This one is on both of them.

Miyuki has never been clear about her feelings and she is from Kyoto, where people often mean the opposite of what they say.
Sorata has no confidence in himself, so he can't believe Miyuki might actually like him and wants to be with him, not because that's what her grandpa wanted, but because that's what she actually wants.

If Sorata were to ask her if she means the things she says or if she being 100% from Kyoto and meaning the opposite, then he might start to realize she likes him. If she told/showed him she likes him in a way he can't deny, then he would have a bit more confidence and all of this wouldn't happen. If at least one of them tried to actually understand the other person, instead of guessing what the other person wants/feels, then things would be SO much easier for both of them.

 

[biologist]

Yooo. Mah boi Sorata I am on your side.

 

[DragonEmpyrean]

I'm betting that it will end up being neither of these 2 that will resolve this issue, but actually one of her family members instead.

Someone will put 2 and 2 together, look at how much of an empty husk she has become because of familial duty, and go:

"Hold up, are we actually ROYALLY fucking her up emotionally by putting all these burdens on her? Are we just doing way more harm than good?"

i highly doubt it honestly

 

[DragonEmpyrean]

Rent a girlfriend levels of fumbling

nah fam nobody can fumble like that besides Rent-A-Cuck

 

[Erbakhan]

Are you fucking kidding me

About some comments her that portray it as if she was hiding her feelings entirely. I decided to check the first chapters again since that wasn't my impression and imo she really hasn't, she is super reserved and easily embarassed about outright saying stuff but unless you interpret half the things she says as the opposite (which of course the MC is doing) I wouldn't say she has hidden them.

First chapter she asks him on a date (and I would consider getting close and whispering about getting a photo alone together next time flirting), second one she asks him on a study date where she deliberately switches sides to sit beside him and then moves closer to sit so their arms are touching then tells him how he has always be different than the rest (after complaining about how others treat her), the declaration of baking the cookies with all her feelings in chapter 5 after detailing the effort she took to make ones he might like, in chapter 6 on that class excursion explicitly pulling him away to be alone with him to take the promised photo of just the two of them (though her not showing him that second photo would be an instance of her hiding her feelings)... She is also just smiling at him a lot.

Like I don't blame him for the misunderstanding, that is the premise of the whole manga and it is explained why he misunderstands. But in all ways except direct statement about feelings I would consider her the one that shows her feelings more obviously among the two. So I find some comments a bit odd.

God this boy is a f***ing idiot. The dense romance MC is such a tired trope.

Tf did he do? He essentially asked her if she really liked him and she gave a wishy-washy response. It's dramatic irony. See, we know that she does, but he doesn't and needs direct reassurance of that.

To avoid this, she should've responded, "I went to Tokyo brcause I wanted to be at the same school as you." But she didn't, and now he thinks she doesn't like the arranged marriage.

Thanks for the chapter.
Please Miyuki, just once, say what you feel. You are ruining your relationship by not being direct.
Hopefully she confides in merry and will be told the correct answer (just say what you think about the guy you appare tly love once). Merry was always very bold and direct, surely she knows thks secret tip.

 

[hurafloyd]

Not sure why you're calling Sorata a fucking idiot.

He's not the one who has been incapable of speaking their actual feelings to their fiancee this entire time.
That would be Miyuki.
And even here, she could have pushed back. But did she? No. She just said "okay then" and walked away.
Sorata has been under the impression that everyone around him thinks he and Miyuki are a terrible match and that she's wasting her potential because of him.
Even those middle school friends of hers that they met at the diner a couple chapters back said as much when they found out what school she was attending in Tokyo, and when they found out that Sorata was her fiancee.

Do you just not read the manga chapter by chapter? You're not the first person I've seen try and lay the blame entirely at Sorata's feet, and I'm just really confused as to how you seem to have missed the mark so badly on the actual dynamic between the main pair of this series.

Dont expect much of some readers, they are just looking at the cute pictures and not reading (or understanding) the manga at all.

I would only add that Sorata is only partially to blame since he should be more open about himself. But I suppose I shouldnt ask that much from a teenager with so many insecurities, so his behaviour and decisions so far are coherent with said insecurities.

 

[silencers]

Everytime stupid tropes happen in a TEENAGE romcom, y'all be acting as if they're adults. They're kids, they don't know better and they make mistakes all the time. Like, ALL the time.

 

[Vissions]

I have a feeling next chapter she is going to tear into her brothers. But yeah, I am ready for this arc to be over. I she knows MC had been greatly influenced by her brothers. Still, it's irritating.

 

[Akiles117]

No god, please no! Nooo! NoOoOO!

 

[Georgesmorge]

Theyre both to blame but Miyuki has been roundabout with her feelings since they were kids. Sorata seeing how uninterested Miyuki was with him must have been a big part of why he has insecurities about their relationship. She needs to straight up tell him that she likes him and is happy with their relationship. Maybe even tell him she still wears that fucking ring, of course your finger is gonna get bigger as you age "I dont want to tell him I still have it because hell think I got fat." are you retarded?

True. As much as I love Miyuki, this is on her. Frustrating as his reply to her last question was, Sorata already said what he felt about his insecurities. Miyuki should've stayed and talked more about it and her actual feelings, find the middle ground, and reassure Sorata just like what she did in the beginning of the chapter.

But hey, they are teenagers and immaturity is part of being a teen.

Regarding TL story, been there done that. Now I'm talking to my Gunpla to help me debug a ML model prediction.
