maybe she'll listen to her one friend and break up with him next chapter without waiting to hear whatever context she'd initially missed, and that'll be the end of the series with everyone unhappy (except the one friend who I suspect just doesn't like that the FMC can't be monopolized by herself anymore).
Now I can't read Japanese and can only use visual context clues, but looking at raws next chapter I think his manager tries to get him to stay LONGER even so that's fun
Nawh, at 5 pm you'd assume she'd go home since he didn't tell her to meet later.
Counter point, he's also freaking out and looking for any excuse to put things off.
I would figure too, but we haven't seen his perspective yet. This dumb forced drama better end soon.
This story was all about changing and discovering things little by little without this overdramatic stuff. If you think they are the only way to make a story good, that's just your opinion and not an universal truth. I for one beg to differ.
Exactly, it lowkey kind of shows that he doesnt really value the date he set with the girl, honestly so disappointed in him
Fuck that, honestly honor your promises first, surprise aint mean sht when you fail her at the basic level. I hope the girl just go home and dont give him any leeway, make his effort go to waste too.
IT FEELS SO FORCED AND UNNECESSARY. I MIGHT JUST DROP THIS. I CAME FOR A GOOD TIME NOT TO BE NERVOUS AND ON MY TOES.
MANGAKAS JUST BE DOING ANYTHING TO FEEL UNIQUE FR. I ALWAYS REMIND MYSELF THIS IS JUST FICTION OR I'LL CRaSH OUT LOL
I mean I agree, this whole chapter has been pretty dumb. I'm just trying to figure out what the resolution is going to be, since I don't think he hates her and I don't think they're going to break up.
No one said characters need to be perfect and have no conflict, they just should have faults and conflicts not being obviously made up to create drama that could be resolved by characters not being total idiots that refuse to communicate (in this chapter despite repeated attempts from the boy to communicate) and instead choose to interpret random fragments of sentences in a worst way?
Like I wrote above, the conflicts are fine when they aren't created by author using the dumbest old trope of misunderstanding, especially misunderstanding based on overhearing a part of conversation. It's dumb, shitty, awful trope and any author using it is a hack.
People are completely justified in being mad, because this trope is very overused, very dumb, and it's not even realistic. Why would guy who is seeing something is wrong with his relationship just drop a long-prepared Christmas date over something he has no serious obligation? Why would she chose to not even talk to him for several days, when all she did was overhear him and she doesn't even know what he actually meant? It's not well done at all, it's just as awful as all the other shit-tastic examples of that trope. We've got so many good romance manga going on, manga that can create conflict without saddling characters with idiot-ball that forbids communication, author has no excuse for pulling this. Look at Boku no Kokoro, Polar Opposites, Bisque Doll despite mediocre ending, even something like that simple train couple comedy manga "They Are Still Being Shaken This Morning" manages to have conflicts that are believable without being as dumb and forced. One can even just give them different life roads and troubles of long-distance-relationship, like in Blooming Love, or in some way in Blue Box. I don't even remember when I've last seen this shit trope in romance manga that seemed good at first like this one.
