All them feels. He can't hold them all.

The mc's affection is pretty blatant, but I really like how understated yet obvious her interest in him is, so far. Like she's implying some big things in ways that are realistically easy to miss in his position.

First of all, her teaching him involves them hanging out every single day for the whole summer, and initially she just wanted him to make time and show up, solely for that purpose; the make-up assignments only came into the picture after the fact.

Then, beyond that: Her long term plan, as mentioned in this chapter, is for him to be able to do all the hairstyles for/with her that she can't handle on her own. Which like, if you actually think about the implications of that role (especially coming from someone who changes her hairstyle every day, sometimes multiple times a day), it's basically the same as the "I wish I could eat your cooking everyday" trope.

Except in this case he's being taught how to cook first.

Thanks for the chapter

She's training him

what I'm liking a lot about this, is how he started developing an interest in her for something normal that now is growing into a common interest. Just a bit worried how persistent the topic of exes is so far and what it'll lead to.

Thanks for the chapter!

i think i read a manga with the similar premise, but in that manga the guy is the one that fixes the girl's hairstyle

 

[statflow]

lot of nice little subtle hints here

I think the talks of exes are a red herring. he said he and his ex barely ever hung out. she said her and her ex only dated for a month. they probably both have 'dated' in the traditional sense but never had anything deep.

and then more, she said "since you've finally taken an interest in your hair" as if she's noticed (that he can look nice) all this time and been waiting for him to notice as well. she didn't flinch when his juniors (who respect him) called her his gf. and then she said "nah, just a friend...right?" the question towards mmc is the good part lol

there's also that mmc seems to be admired but doesn't have a ton of confidence himself. unassuming, and can compliment her naturally without ulterior motives.

this is some good shit.

I wonder what made Miyashita break up with her boyfriend. I mean, at first glance, her ex looks pretty handsome, and there don't seem to be any signs of abuse or major red flags from him towards Miyashita

thank you for translation

Had a brainwave while reading this chapter.

So, Shuta, Miyashita's ex, is from a different class (class 5). So is Nogawa, albeit her class is unknown.
Now, I've had this thought. What if Shuta and Nogawa are both classmates in class 5? And what if there was some sort of tension between them, perhaps related to Miyashita in some way? Nogawa's reaction to seeing Miyashita in ch1 is pretty suspicious. Sure, it could just be attributed to her being surprised that someone was watching them fight, but the way she rushed past Miyashita implies there's more to it.

As we know now, absolutely nobody knew about Suzuhara's relationship with Nogawa (despite the implications that they might've been dating since their 1st year of HS and possibly earlier), and it seems Miyashita's even shorter-lived relationship with Shuta is similar here. Given Miyashita's expression when he told her that his relationship with Nogawa was practically nonexistent, it seems something here hit home. Seeing Suzuhara act that way at the end of this chapter, it may be possible that something about what Miyashita told him about her relationship with Shuta also hit home. I think there's potential for them to bond over some form of a shared frustration over shallow relationships with their exes.

This is all just a random thought, though, and me throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. Hopefully if Nogawa shows up again, whatever drama that may ensure won't last long. I'd prefer she not show up at all, but some of the more subtle hooks I've seen seem to imply that she will be coming back.

10 miles of dick

Dude that's so fake. Unless she is some kind of spirit/symbolic stuff (author mentioning nobody ever noticed her wild hair changes).
It's just such a fake character, no personality just a proxy for the author to go with overused tropes. I know you like me & I'm teasing you, please do my hair nothing weird about it, oh we just bumped into my ex, no biggie haha, seems like you care lol.

 

[GEEGEEE171]

Not what I expected her ex to look like lmao.

 

[phorx]

So he was dating his ex girlfriend for a year but nobody knew about it and they never went on dates? Huh? I’d say he was a hidden side piece but even that would be generous.

Meanwhile he thought he might be a little bit special by being brought to this shop only to find out that’s not true. This guy’s self esteem must be rock-bottom.
