The thing about replacing the chain of an external gearing bicycle is the risk of the new chain being incompatible with the old sprockets of the cassette, especially the smallest ones. After all, the chain wears out in sync with the sprockets. So, if you only change the chain, the chain may start slipping. But then again, who knows how old that bike really is and how much the gal has been biking. It could be she just has taken poor care of it, no cleaning and lubrication, so the sprockets might still be okay even if the chain is a rusty goner.

I wonder how much these types of manga exaggerate the social caste system of Japanese schools. Probably somewhat, but not too much because manga is written for the Japanese audience. So, if the Japanese found it too stupid, the manga would fail. Nevertheless, this is one of the making school friends is rocket science manga. If only it was sprocket science instead, the MC might have a chance.

I'm liking this so far! And there's no drama tag (for now at least)that's a huge plus!

Would it kill them to make MC look a little bit more unique? I don't even care anymore. I just get sick of the gal x black hair normal dude discourse on Twitter. Fuck man. At least give him a charm, a cool scarf, SOMETHING, ANYTHING. Give him a big nose, crooked teeth, a scar... bro anything.

He probably just said it to get away (and possibly to encourage her to get a professional to look at it).

I'm kind of impressed he fixed it so easily though. I usually have to turn the bike upside down before being able to easily slip the chain back on.

The way she just IDs him immediately to the whole class is hilarious.

My Dress-Up Darling did irreversible damage to manga as a whole.
Also, it's the forgotten childhood friend/crush again, isn't it?

Really? Another loner type mc? My dress up darling clone detected.

Let me guess, she's also into anime and stuff.
Judging by how he thinks he get "crucified" for talking, I'm guessing the classmates are gonna be annoying like in Komi-san where they treat her like some goddess and anyone who tried to talk to her will get treated like that.

Also that girl is so Marin coded. The outgoing and shit. MC is gonna be a pain in the ass with the way he acted but we'll see. I hope he's like gojo wakana instead of being a pussy ass mc

not really a fan of posting the video online after pressuring him/not caring what he wants
