Ki ni Natteru Hito ga Otoko ja Nakatta - Ch. 179 - A Proposal On Trial

[Serenata]

"but from now on,
I'll work really hard to be honest with you, Aya-san."

y'all want them to talk about all their relationship problems in front of everyone, when they just found Aya's little brother that was MISSING.
I understand that there's a lot more that needs to be done, especially from Mitsuki. I really liked this chapter and I hope that we can get more of them communicating, and hopefully understand the band thing, to know what happened that day.

This is the most rational take yet, people bitching about why they couldn't go deeper in this WEEKLY 4 PAGES WORK in front of EVERYONE are insane, is like they're forgetting that after this, they have to go back home and live together, of course they'll talk but there's a place and time for everything, but with only 4 pages, what you can show and say is limited.
Anyway you'll all come back next week anyway and probably talk trash some more so I won't bother with pointing out more of the obvious, you know I didn't like the angst of this arc (or angst in general) but you know what I did? I just waited, and I didn't comment about it but now that we're in the final parts I am very happy.

Welp there's the conversation. Time to pack it up.
But what about the stuff with the band?
I said pack it up
Did Mitsuki just shift the blame back to Aya?
Nope Pack it up
So all the build up tension, no conversation and drama lead to a small courtroom gag?
Pack it up! They are getting married, go put on something nice cause we're going.

If you don't see that drama starts -> obvious solution is ignored -> additional characters are involved -> love rival bait -> beach episode -> additional drama about side character -> boom! main drama solved! is a bad way of writing, then I can't help you

You haven’t even read my comment properly why would I take your word on the writing?

I didn’t say anything about criticism of the story.

 

[aoibhemanga]

I would feel much better if this was only the beginning and not the entirety of The Talk. Probably just one entire chapter of Feelings (TM) would get me the catharsis I feel this story deserves.

With that said, in micro the chapter was in excellent form with good flow and well-timed humor. I particularly enjoyed the faded green for shocked Aya

I think we don’t quite have enough pages for a five chapter volume yet so we’ve likely got a good few installments left to tie everything up.

 

[Trevoga]

This better not be the entirety of the resolution. No way these two dumb bitches can actually talk it out and understand each other this fast.

 

[Jackal-Lantern]

I actually laugh at the people saying the resolution is fine or the fact that it being 4 pages worth is fine, as if the conflict and drama wasn't stacked after stacked. If you're cool with it, then fine... Just some folks prefer something more satisfying, and it simply wasn't delivered. Plain and simple.

You literally said people criticise the arc because of the release format. No. They criticise it because it's badly writen.

 

[TanyaTheEvil]

I love that last panel, "Verdict, they loved each very much"... Thanks for the chapter and translation

This isn’t the last chapter…

No, there are literally people in this chat and on damn near every other chapter’s chat complaining about “I waited months for this” or some similar line.

Even half the complaints about the actual story are often taking what’s written so far, projecting it into the future and getting angry about how they think it’s going to go.

Some of of you would have sat in Michaelangeo’s studio, looked at a half finished David and complained how shit it was and how unfinished it looked. If you don’t have the patience to see how things pan out then go away, you don’t need to subject everyone to your hate for the story you think is being written every week. Judge the arc when it’s actually finished.

 

[iikaido]

Th… that’s it?!? And low key almost blaming the victim?!? And nothing about Mitsuki’s post-concert behaviour?!? Goddess, I’d almost have preferred the proposal being genuine. I know it’s only four pages, but it has been literally months and volumes of bullshit to be resolved like THIS! AND it was done as a jokey “courtroom” both sides are wrong gag! This is seriously not okay people! Especially with the amount of what appear to be impressionable minds who read this! It’s genuinely alarming!

Lmfao I just like my cute fluffy yuri being cute and fluffy I never thought they had a serious problem to begin with maybe it’s been to long since it started the drama but a simple talk was all they needed in my opinion and they just did. Not to mention she’s playing guitar which was one of Anya’s issues was she was playing like she was trying to fit in with that group.

THEY FINALLY TALKED IT OUT LET'S GOOOOO

 

[DMBLaan99]

Lol, alway fun to see those who just want drama and no nothing of what a real healthy relationship looks like. Yes that's it, because there really wasn't anything more to discuss in regards to the actual relationship portion. Literally nothing beyond a misunderstanding Mitsuki had because of her depression had ever happened. There were no victims, there were no "villains". They do still need to talk about why Mitsuki was depressed in the 1st place, but that's not the kind of talk you have right there in the middle of the bar. Read the room, lmao!

 

[AndreaMS]

I find the comments funny because as a lesbian this actually checks out for some people, some couples of early twenties lesbians are literally like this.

Also of course its not 100% resolved, they communicated and know each others feelings now and are happy about that but these things take time, Mitsuki now has to show that she can properly communicate and if she keeps that communication thats how this will actually be resolved.

 

[Jackal-Lantern]

This isn’t the last chapter…

Who said it was?

 

[AKPsyche]

People can complain all they want about the drama being concluded too quickly, but I'm just happy my yuri is green again. They at least had some communication, finally.

 

[Tyrn]

Reading this thread makes me realize that some people have a hard time separating fiction from reality. In general you should NOT use a twitter manga as a model for adult relationships. None of this is real.

But I have to say that I keep being disappointed by direction this series has taken. The proposal was premature and now the author is walking it back. All the conflict and resolutions feel "forced".

 

[luigiymario2]

Lmao, I guess the proposal got skipped for now? But! Glad they were able to talk to each other about some of their concerns, hope they deal with it a bit more later on, but I think they're finally starting to get on the right track!

 

[Orpheus7]

To those who say "they'll communicate later" ok but like what if they don't? If I turned off the Yuri filter, they are technically borderline toxic the last drama was Aya self harming herself and at no time does she communicate with Mitsuki about it till it got really bad and Mitsuki FINALLY notices. I don't even remember how that resolved I just know it ended in a similar "here's a sweet moment look at them be all couple y~". Communication is not in these girls skills list.


ALSO I WANT TO ADD, I CALLED IT 20 CHAPTERS AGO. IT WAS AYA'S FAULT FOR BEING TOO CLOSE TO SHU. BUT NOOOOO ALL OF YOU DOGGED ON MY BOI MITSUKI SMH

 

[TheNoteBlock]

The 4-page format was perfectly fine at first, but it really does not work for more dramatic storytelling. Everything post-timeskip has been very severely limited by it.

Glad they talked it out though, even if this resolution was way too quick and easy.
