So when I said some of you guys can't read, what I meant was, "Some of you guys can't read the literal words in the chapter".
Are you taking the line the line "Then you would've fallen in love normally, gone out with someone normally, and become happy normally" as her saying he can't date someone else? That's weird, why are you taking it that way? She just knows if she did that, it would be easier for him to get over her but she still wants to be his friend and she knows that its going to be a little awkward, but that doesn't matter.
You guys complain about her not changing but her arc is to accept that things will change but to also accept that its okay to move at her own pace. That all of these changes; love or going to college, aren't going to inherently break her friendships. "Things will never be the same. I doubt I'll move at the same pace as everyone else." "But I love them just as much" Literally the words in the page last chapter.
Again, if you just don't like it, think its a waste of time, whatever, your opinion is your own and I'm not taking that way. But if you want to analyze the text you could at bare minimum read the fucking text. This shit is literally spelling everything out loud.
Ok mate, the wording is actually as follows:
"You belong to me forever.
If I tried to make you hate me, to push you away... The you would've fallen in love normally, gone out with someone normally and become happy normally...
You really... Are so clumsy."
"But it's too late now. You're stuck with me forever. Just like we've always been. Forever. As my brother and my foodie partner."
While the last 3 sentences can be read like you make it out to be, I give you that!
But the first part? It literally says 'Yeah my boy, I could let you go and have normal relationship with someone, being happy. But bad luck, you're mine and stuck with me, though I'll never be your girl.'
Sorry, but the way it is written I do get why so many readers are hating on her and this 'conclusion'. Her showing real growth would, imho, been her doing a Frozen Theme Song move and let that dude's heart go!
"I won't ever be your girlfriend. But once you've come to terms with that, I'd be delighted to keep you as my foodie partner and brother." <- Something along those lines and well, everyone would read what Chii said the way you read it?
And yeah, my personal opinion and interpretation.
But being high and mighty about people's reading (comprehension) without even quoting the whole damn speach? Not so grand a move, imho.
