Kusunoki-san wa Koukou Debut ni Shippai Shite Iru - Ch. 52.2 - It's not... "just a favor" anymore (Second Part)

[Argon2409]

Hebikawa update: she only appeared as a flashback

 

[mgRdr]

"Wait he's getting more attention, and that means I can't have his attention, no he's mine!"

And look, romance or no romance, but she's been sidelining him in favour of hanging out with her new group of friends

Snek after loosing because of Kusonki's plot armor

snek should've moved on a long time ago from MC, she deserves to lose

 

[kodakato]

Welp time to wrap up there'll be nothing left since it's mutual. Slithers away sadly 🐍

 

[Hauberk1800]

Kusunoki realized anything can happen

She was scared to acknowledge her feelings because she might lose her friendship with Keisuke. Now doing nothing feels like she might lose her friendship with him as well. It's definitely trope-y but it still feels grounded in her character arc

Thanks for the tl

"Oh no, they guy i've been ghosting might have other prospects, good thing that all i need to do is just saying the word. I'm in the title after all" type of deal.

Why would she lose her friendship with him if he dates someone else?

 

[Hauberk1800]

Why would she lose her friendship with him if he dates someone else?

I think that she thinks in ultimatum like that because of her past trauma with a friend liking a friend. She isn't well socialized so she doesn't actually know what might change if he started dating someone combined with she might actually like him in a romantic way, she still isn't sure but she is equating not making a move as possibly losing him and she can't afford to lose him who she is even closer to than the middle school friends she lost.

Tldr doesn't know enough about social rules to just be his friend and not freak out if he did "get taken away" which wouldn't actually happen

Shoots were fired last ch and now in this ch hell yea we eating really good right now

 

[ShionVaynex]

Called it long ago - she wouldn't do a thing until it looked like she'd be left behind.

Wish it weren't so predictable, because having her be genuinely not interested in romance with him would have been very novel. This whole "I don't know or understand my feelings!" only to purposefully sideline him only to then get upset when it appears others have interest in him is just ....kind of exhausting.

I'd prefer she just make up her mind and stop lying to everyone and herself. She wants so badly to not hurt anybody, but all that's doing is screwing up the calculus for all parties involved, and the more she ran away from the truth the more pain it was going to cause.
So in that sense, at least, I'm glad to see things are finally starting to get underway.

Reminds me of another manga.

Where the first girl lost because she doddles and got rejected after confessing, while he was in love with her in the beginning.

another girl swoops in and they actually starts dating.

genuinely curious if you recall the name of it, because that sounds interesting.

Unless you mean the one that coined "Botan" as a verb, in which case I've read it so never mind.

 

[Trolliconics]

Holy shit
Is something finally going to start happening
this series has been slowing down from all the date chapters
And kusunoki denying her feelings for an eternity wasn't helping things
The plot can finally do shit beyond the tropes and make things happen
I start to wonder why i love this manga even tho it's the most tropey thing known to romcom

 

[Kaito57]

SHE FINALLY STARTED TO BELIEVE !!!

 

[sterven]

Too late team 🐍 all the way

[PandaVinChan]

For me, she's way too late. Being the winning heroine set in stone by the start is too easy every event works for her. If Snek actually changes and becomes more honest and true to herself, I could easily see her winning over Kuso-girl on a long run, but like every rom-com we already know whos winning. I think thats one of the first times I really wish the FMC loose for the others heroines

 

[Isobe-jan]

nothing like competition to make you get your game on

 

[MiguelH224]

leave it to Keisuke's chad aura to move the main plot along just when you thought it was hopeless

"Chad aura"


Hilarious....

 

[Kagimizu]

And ding, ding, ding! The train is leaving the station!

To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if she still wavers and flip-flops here and there in the future. Even if she's becoming more aware of her feelings for him, the trauma she felt from losing her friends over a complete misunderstanding isn't going to go away all of a sudden.

And while people might find it boring or predictable for her to only recognize her feelings after realizing someone else might take him away first, it's unfortunately quite realistic.

Where SNEK???? Chapter needs more SNEK 🐍
