True, her appetite is indeed insatiable....whole lotta incels in here.
Completely agree. Not only is it human but it's especially so when you're a teenager and you're unsure of what you want to do next. When you're having a good time with your friends, you never want that time to end. But then they start getting into relationships, going to different schools, advancing their careers...they have less time for the silly days. Sure you can make an effort to meet up and keep in contact but it's different and it's challenging. I feel like that's what Chii's character is; she's someone who realizes her life is changing and hasn't come to terms with it. But I believe that's where this is going, figuring that out and moving forward.I read it as she's aware he likes her and also deeply insecure about everyone around her changing while she stays the same. Thematically, Chii is a high schooler in her final year who insists that despite being 17-18 she is still growing, which...that's not happening. She wants to be a youtuber, and says she is going to travel overseas when she graduates. You could see these as realistically almost impossible and/or just in general very childish desires. She doesn't want to grow up yet, while meanwhile all her friends are leaving her behind. I'm not sure how clear this is to other readers, but throughout the manga, Chii clearly hates the idea of change, hidden under the veneer of being the somewhat annoying "gropes other girls boobs"-type character. In other words, Chii is not very mature, and dealing with a situation which requires more maturity than she has. It's very human, y'know? Am I the only person who has felt like everyone else was aging while I stayed the same in the past? No one? Any non-Chii haters around here?
Right, yes. Like, just on its own removed from the context of the other couples if the manga was "about this," I'd probably like a growth story of someone being extremely immature and insecure about her place in the world.You're completely correct, but you're forgetting a critical aspect to this whole thing: Teenagers are really, really fucking annoying.
Chii is the archetype of the eternal manchild (or whatever the female equivalent is), the person who can't let go of the past, who's all talk and big dreams but makes at best a token effort following up on any of it, and generally is just someone you eventually outgrow as a person. This is coupled with her crab in a bucket mentality, where instead of supporting her closest friends and the changes in their lives, she wants to drag them into the muck of her standstill attitude with her, keep them from developing. There's also the fact that Tokio is just kind of a decent guy who doesn't deserve being ignored/strung along like this. And finally... this chapter honestly makes things worse, because it seems to recontextualize everything as Chii being completely aware of this, and that's just inexcusable.
It started because everyone thought she was going to be the annoying lesbian trope. Then she turned into the selfish, childish unaware teenager. But now she's a self aware girl failure so the damage has been done.Man, it's fucking weird how everyone hates Chi like if she shat in your cereals and fucked your wife on the cold side of your pillow.
Trying to remember when it started, and it might just because she made a scene and was a little jealous when Anjou got with Seto. Yes, she was a little immature but she's a teenager, that's what they do.
I think that's where the contrast is nice. Ana held back on the thing she's unsure about - giving her all to graduate - while Chi is holding back on the sure thing (she knows Tokio likes her). Different flavors of how change is scary. I really hope the next chapter gives more insight on what Chi actually feels for Tokio.Someone compared her to Anna but Chi is actively avoiding romance to the point where she might reject Tokio.
