Okay this chapter is really good. Both character showed great maturity here.

 

[Mangamoz]

Wait wtf? The flashback skipped over how the magic body swap started?

Suspend your disbelief dude. Not everything needs to be explained in detail. Sometimes shit in stories just happens for narrative purposes. In this case it was so that Sunao could see what Lemon’s interpersonal relationships were like first hand, which broke down the false narrative he built around her actions. It was the spark that kicked off the plot, without it there is no story.

This is a character focused romance and at this point trying to “explain” body swapping would be derailing the entire narrative for no reason.

"Ready for youthful misunderstandings to become good memories…"
Sheesh, they could use that phrasing in construction, because it’s doing some real heavy lifting there…

 

[Nobi]

Oh come on. Resolve this cliff-hanger already.

HOWDOESMAGICENTERTHESTORY

Am I crazy? It literally shows us how magic enters the story in chapter 1. Sunao sees a shooting star, but forgets to wish on it before it disappears. It then cuts to Lemon, who is clearly, visibly wishing on it while it's still visible. We don't know exactly what she wished for, but imo it's abundantly clear that Lemon's wish resulted in the body swapping.

 

[Knighto]

this time I'll listen, why that it sounded like him apologizing too, like sorry for getting self ptsd from you??
just glad the flashback is over and surprised that Sunao is saying he moved over, I call BS, but we can still hope anyways

It did? I honestly didn't remember it at all.

Ah, I just now noticed your reply when I clicked my "show ignored content", sorry.

I don't remember why you are there I admit, I press the ignore button like its candy.

 

[qaaj]

The moment that never seems to arrive in any romcom which has a premise built on misunderstandings:

Sitting down, and talking. Like, for real.

It's almost harder to believe than the bodyswapping!

What, you don't think that having your girlfriend break up with you by saying that she's cheating with 3, guys then proceeding to completely ignore your existence for the next 3 or 4 years is just a youthful misunderstanding?

I'm sure it will make such a great memory. People really cherish being discarded and ignored by their loved ones, you know?

 

[poppinnow]

how many chapters could this drag on for ? another 5 ?

I do, because it literally is

There's no need to explain that in the flashback, it can be explained later. My guess is that it will be explained when the swapping ends, further in the story. You don't need to explain everything that happens in the story at the same time, that's why it's a story... There's a time for everything.

 

[Titan0fPower]

Woah she just showed up to his house and said "Let's talk!" lol.

 

[Umbrum]

Is the "I'll listen this time" about him interrupting her earlier before the flashback began?

Or is it supposed to point at back when they were dating?

 

[Uk2897]

It's gonna be an illustration next week right? .-.

 

[cajones]

Man, I'm so glad we went through all that pointless flashbacking just for it to not affect the current story at all, just to return to the actual story and get less than no where.

I guess this is a better way to burn time while you figure out what you want your actual story to be. It would be worse to rush something just to keep the plot flowing.

I agree with the second part but not the first one, the flashback wasn't really pointless, it was for the audience to finally know what actually happened between the two and why. I wasn't a fan of the explanation, but I think it was needed before we saw a resolution to it, this chapter takes it slow because the 2 flashbacks were rather dense in information and I appreciate it, it's slowing down and retaking the set up, as well as giving our characters time to process things which seems to be what they did, rather than discuss it rashly just after Lemon got the kick to finally adress it.
