Kimi no Kami ga Ki ni Narunda - Ch. 5

[baconbanana]

The FL called her ex by his given name Shuta instead of his family name Kusaka, when he just called her by her family name Miyashita.

I think the ML could overthink this in the next episode...

 

[Yuural]

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

He looks like a psycho to me... Handsome, focused on outward appearance, smug but in control, possessive, dead eyes.

I think their ex partners were cheating on them with each other

10 miles of dick

The manga abruptly ends when Mr.Wongburger returns to Dick Planet.

I remember I used to read a lot of fan translations from japanese to english done by various south east asians, and those south east asians really struggled with participles.

She absolutely knows about his feelings and loves teasing him, it's like a very light s-dere flavoring to this story.

Thanks for the scanlation.

Sooner he'd realize and admit it, the better

Oh, this one is just sad. He quit his club because he wanted to spend time with his girlfriend and she breaks up with him for quitting the club.

Happens a lot with teen relationships tbh. When you date someone from your school, there's a decent amount of it that's just about status and social dynamics more than it is about love and relationships. Clearly, in his ex's case, she was attracted to the idea of dating someone good at baseball and whatever that did for her perception about herself than actually being interested in dating him as a person.
I don't really think there should a value judgement there, this is just how teens navigate these kinds of social dynamics, true teen romance is rarer in real life than fiction, so this depiction here feels very true to life in many ways.

Yeah, I'm gonna tap out here. Cute manga but I'm not a fan of this cornrows plotline, there is cultural significance behind the hairstyle not just 'street style'. They have been used across Africa for a long time, and even when slaves were taken, they were used to store information (escape routes) and food like grains escaping, to see it reduced to just 'street style' is more personal for me.
Imagine if people referred to Kimono's as random exotic clothes, would be disrespectful to the Japanese, yet they have no problem being slightly racists to others. Cute manga but I personally cannot overlook this. I'm only putting this here cause I think it's something worth saying even tho I know the fandom of a manga is likely to insult me over this. But hey, if at least one person learns then I'm happy (they don't even have to stop reading the manga, as far as they know it's more than just a 'cool street hairstyle' with significant cultural context behind it, I'm happy).

Like I suspected, she is very much into him.
If this is bait...

What? Also that "escape route" thing is literally fake lol

Imagine gatekeeping a hairstyle, or even worse, being gatekept out of a good manga bcs of it.

FMC is realizing MC is a lot more gullible and pathetic than she originally thought. I don’t think she sees him as a “man” or potential love interest at all.

MC thinks he actually had a girlfriend but clearly that wasn’t true. It was a secret and they never actually spent time together… so what… they just exchanged Line messages occasionally?

That’s a secret pen-pal at best. Maybe a punishment game that dragged on?

I understand, being unique, having your own gimmick etc. is good and all but the artist is pushing it too much. Just make it a starting point to get characters know each other or at least provide about some sub-culture info like My Dress Up Darling...

Your crush realising you're stupid

She kinda went along with it

Bro fumbled big time. But if he's cool with it like this, I don't mind.

Thanks for the upload!

just do your hair, dude like what's with all that

The sub plot about their exes feels more like a red herring than an actual plot point.

Then again, there's a chance it does become one for drama's sake.

that one passing compliment a girl gave you that you still remember 15 years later

as much as you can obviously have any reason to want to stop reading anything, I think it's kinda dumb to call the manga slightly racist for not going out of its way to explain the cultural significance behind a particular hairstyle, when the focus for every hairstyle shown so far has constantly been on the aesthetic rather than the cultural side.

It's one thing to say that you didn't like it being referred to as "street style", which is fair (even though I think it's a reasonable way to refer to it for someone who doesn't know anything about the history behind it, which I don't think you need to know to be able to talk about or to use that hairstyle), but calling it racist (even "slightly") is going way too far, it's not disrespecting the history of it in any way, it's not even really talking about it at all

The hairstyle itself is a red flag if we go by manga tropes.
