Hirayasumi - Ch. 77 - Biting Your Cheek

[Tds-PdV]

I was thinking “we’re about to have some background love triangle…” and the author was “nope, it’s out in the open now”, and even then it’s not crazy dramatic or anything.
That’s a nice touch and so on point with how this series goes.

 

[Friendly-Sentence710]

Oof.

 

[xyzzy]

I just want these boys to be happy…

 

[eviljackspicer]

A whole month? Girl, come on. I've lost a bit of respect for you. Just put the guy out of his misery and let him move on.

 

[Sky_Ravager]

It's times like these you wish manga culture wasn't so heteronormative. If concepts like bisexuality or polyamory weren't most likely so thoroughly alien to the author, there could have been some interesting developments.

I think adult (and specifically male) friendship struggles with life, love, time, regret and lonliness is way way WAY more interesting than some poly drama shit. that shit belongs in trashy harem manga.

That's the thing, though: right now, there is "Oh no, I can't choose between these two guys who end up getting awkward because of me!" drama, which, to me, feels pretty trite and narrow-minded.

And I can 100% believe that poly relationships are handled with the subtlety of being bashed on the head by a shovel, but that's because they're trashy harem stories in the first place, not because of the subject matter, which I wish was portrayed with more elegance, realism, and open-mindedness.

Poly is trash

Like my pops used to say, monogamia o balazo.

A whole month? Girl, come on. I've lost a bit of respect for you. Just put the guy out of his misery and let him move on.

While it's not great, we've seen how she's so busy that she barely even has time for herself (Ishikawa probably doesn't know though)

 

[cokelemon]

Did Hiroto figure out that Ishikawa's attitude changed after mentioning Tachibana? So Hiroto knows too, right? Otherwise that would really suck being treated so coldly suddenly without knowing why

 

[fuzzy.bumblebee]

Oof I feel so bad for him, now that he had finally seemed to find a good connection with someone They all need to have some serious conversations

 

[Nolzi]

Damn, at this rate they won’t become eskimo brothers

 

[ilusatus]

Will Ishikawa keep the fight or forfeit?
