Author trying to wrap this up fast lmao. We have an arc of literally 3 + chapters off ass level page counts of nothingness and in chapter we reconcile and kinship while casually sweeping it all under the rug. Consistently ass as someone else stated lol, forcing a yuu x hikari run this fast just feels like mangaka trying to appease the crowd half assed.

Or maybe Yuu was always right and Hikari could overcome this relatively easily. The real challenge always was and will be Yami -and probably, her mother, the real final boss of this story-

Honestly, i like the mature approach to the conversation and heartbreak. They're both open and honest, and i hope they dont end up together romantically but STRONGER individually because of it, while respecting each others boundaries. He fucked up, led her on, and any crash out she has is totally justified

Yami fucked up the things, not Yuu. He is as victim here as Hikari or even more. Anyway, other comment more justifying VIOLENCE AGAINST MEN.
Mangadex never deceptions me. And yes, I´m happy one of the real questions made by Yuu would be "do you gonna punch me?". Even if Hikari had right to be upset, Yuu actions never justifies being physically agreded by Hikari.

But, this is like Shinji and Asuka having a normal healthy conversation about their fucked up relationship.

This people, Yuu and Hikari, are perfectly normal kids leading with growing, nothing to see with fucking Shinji and Asuka. Fuck, even Yami is a perfectly healthy normal girl compared with Asuka, and let´not say with KAZUSA TOUMA. Believe me, if Yami put you nervous, you doesn´t wanna know who is KAZUSA TOUMA. All you definitely will hate her and call her a bitch, a whore, a jerk, a sociopath, a rapist (WA2 Coda Normal End), and a long list of insults more.

 

[peortega1]

In the novel, right between Hikari asking Yuu to talk and him starting to talk (so pages 3 and 4 of this chapter), Yuu says "Yami-senpai is the first person who has ever saved me in my life...and the first person I've ever had to save in my life." This causes Hikari to think that his statement is a death sentence for her aka her chances of having any sort of romantic relationship with Yuu.

In case there was any doubt that Yom hates Yuu Takamura and goes out of his way to omit or downplay his best moments from the manga adaptation as much as possible—the moments where HE ACTUALLY DOES THINGS OR SHOWS HIM BEING DETERMINED AND FIRM—
Yom treats Takamura with the same contemptuous way that Doga Kobo treated Yuu Izumi in the 2022 anime adaptation of Shikimori-san.

It's compounded further on when she realizes that Yuu and Yami are 30 steps ahead of her

And she sees it as a positive thing for both them. She ENVY them for have the sexual experience she doesn´t have. So, Hikari definitely prefers romantically dudes with "experience" and Yami was right about she being girlfriend of Yuu the reason why Hikari finally fell in love with him.
She doesn´t react with the disgust and revulsion showed by Haru in chapter 43 about Yami having sex with Yuu.

Also, regarding the whole "we broke Yami thing"

Other bet I won, Hikari wanting save Yami again, as I said to all you.

"Well, I guess I'm a chicken for using the past tense when asking about his love for Aya"

I´m definitely liked Hikari finally is recognizing she is as coward as Yuu does.

Seriously, we get all these insights into Hikari's mind and none of the really good stuff is shared in the manga

I mean, all those good stuff leaves Hikari as a much worse person and significantly more selfish. Anyway, I like the fact she finally is accepting she will have to take the reins in her relationship with Yuu, who is basically the thing who he was asking to her from at least middle school ("then, you was like a boy, Hikari" - chapter 13).

I would rather Yuu grow a freaking spine and learn a thing called self-worth. He was still groveling and talking down on himself even in this chapter. How many times are you gonna let the girl that you love tell you to think more highly of yourself?

Spoiler: he will be always a submissive boy, equal as Haruki Kitahara (White Album 2) and Yuu Izumi (Shikimori is not just a cutie) before him
This is a ROLE REVERSAL story and a FEMALE DOMINATION series. If you don´t like that kind of story, my counsel is you should still been here
In any case, his arc should be focused in him finally choosing what girl will be his dominatrix for life, and also, be more brave fullfilling the orders of that dommy girlfriend -being this the complain of Yami in chapter 40 about Yuu "didn´t search me enough" during the ghosting

 

[epicfail48]

They hurt Yami?! Aw fuck naw, author is smoking that demonic chronic

 

[RoxasJ]

I can't keep reading this like nothing ever happened. This is personally, one of the worst things I've ever read.
I think I've read enough. Gonna save my sanity and finally drop this. To y'all continuing, have fun.

 

[story645]

For both Yuu and Hikari to try to take ownership of Yami breaking is lame and frankly kind of insulting to the reader.

I sorta wonder if this is another lost in translation thing where the gist is supposed to be closer to "Yami broke as a consequence of meeting us at the festival", but also like a good chunk of discussion on this manga conflates consequences with fault so shrugs

forcing a yuu x hikari run this fast

I think Maruto having Hikari muse on Yuu's indecisiveness means it's not gonna get speed run. & that Yuu has to unequivocally choose Aya or Hikari for romance to even be in the picture (Hikari questioning if Aya would be happy getting Yuu if it was cause Hikari told him to go to Aya is another play on this).

 

[Crisisninjax]

I love that the characters have more maturity than the community. Going forward Hikari is obviously going to try to 'save' Yami and I hope she does.

I get why the comment section hates her, (I disagree) and that's partially the authors fault. But being the ex of the LI isn't a sin. Yami is a messed up kid who rejected someone she loved, as self preservation, not healthy and based on her backstory It makes sense. Still, she should have told Hikari when she realised who Yuu was. I also get why she didn't, she was afraid she'd lose her best friend.

 

[Dvalkerz]

What is this, resolving problems with only holding each other's hands? ah come on fuck already, he's already done it.

 

[3turtlesinacoat]

Thanks for the chapter.
Its is a bit weird that hikari thought him telling her he always loved her is a lie but i suppose shes young and doesnt know any better. I do like that the manga is starting to acknowledge her faultd as well, even if its only her cowardice and spinelessness. Its taken almost 50 chapters but its something

 

[KriegGuardsman]

Oh yeah, this was supposed to be a romance Manga right? Forgot about that

You shall be cursed with 200 chapters of Yami being a dipshit

 

[peortega1]

Here the MTL translation of WN chapter:

Spoiler: Chapter 47: Together, Once Again

Chapter 47: Together, Once Again

Just an ordinary day.
... But that excuse has already vanished with the resolve I made just now.

"I'll listen to your excuses."
"...I don't have any"
"But you were making so many excuses at the after-party!"

It's been a month since I was in Ta-kun's room. It's been two months since we were back to back. Up　until six months ago, we were completely relaxed and didn't react at all. But　recently, we suddenly became self-conscious and stiffened up.　And now, his back is curled up, overwhelmed with guilt.

"You kept telling me you liked me! That it wasn't a lie!"
"Well, what can I do? "That" was not a lie!"

I can't see his face.　All I can see is the light in his room, the bookshelf, and the wall.

"Okay, so, then tell me the lies... tell me the parts you hid from me, tell me what happened"

But that's precisely why I can now ask the questions I couldn't ask backstage in the gymnasium at that time.

"Tell me everything about Aya-chan... honestly"
"Do you really want to hear it?"
"Of course I don't want to know!"
"..."
"But I have to know, don't I..."

Yes, I have to ask. At least, that's what I think. Because I was the one who was confessed to. I was the one who was told that he loved me. Even if it's full of excuses and lies. No, precisely because it was a deception, we need to have the prank revealed.
If I hear that and burst out laughing saying, "Wow, you got me!", then the prank will be a resounding success, right?　So please, I need a perfect excuse...

"Yami-senpai... is the first person who has ever saved me in my life"
"..."
"And the first person I've ever had to save in my life"
"~~~!"

Wait, I take that back! I can't bear to listen to any more! Because this is like a death sentence for me. I knew it all along, but until now my heart just couldn't accept it. But now that I have... it's really tough.

…………
…………

"...And that's what happened between Yami-senpai and me"
"..."

It was so long...I felt like I'd been in there for months, it was like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. He, Ta-kun, was really, really honest and didn't hide anything, at least I believe so. That the two of them had already skipped over kissing a long time ago. That they were about 30 steps ahead of me.

...If he saw my face right now, he'd either burst out laughing or be incredibly worried. Because my face right now... even if my body temperature was over 40 degrees, it wouldn't normally turn this red!
My ears wouldn't turn bright red like this! Unless he's been told a story like this!

It was so stimulating, so overwhelming. But it was also so fleeting, so melancholic, a world that "had nothing to do with me". It was the true form of the "deeply dark Yami-sama" that I had heard about before I first met her.

"The reason Aya-chan opened up to me was..."

But as the shock subsided, and I slowly, little by little, began to understand the meaning of the story...

"So that's because Ta-kun had already melted Aya-chan's heart a long time ago..."

A deeper and more profound truth emerges, one that transcends mere physical connection.

"No, Yami-senpai dumped me..."

Yami-senpai, Yami-senpai, huh... Aya-chan... I don't want you to call her 'Yami'," that's what you mean...!

"You are the one who really helped her recover, Hikari."
"No, it was you, Ta-kun."
"No, Hikari... but I guess it doesn't really matter anymore..."
"Yeah... after all, we're the ones who broke Aya-chan 'again'."

But then... what should I do? Should I give Ta-kun to Aya-chan? But would that make Aya-chan happy? And more importantly, would that even be something I could accept?

I don't know. I can't see the answer at all.

"It's difficult, isn't it..."
"It's not difficult at all... at least for you, Hikari"

But no matter what I did, all I could sense from his back was a powerless response, a sign that he had given up on his worries.

"Make up with Yami-senpai... and use me as your common enemy."
"I don't want that."
"But that doesn't mean you should try to forgive me too."
"That's something I have to decide."
"Hikari...?"
"It's not something you, Ta-kun, have to decide."

I won't let the weakling Ta-kun decide anything right now. Because you were the one who lied to me in the first place. You tried to deceive me. So from now on, I will only follow my own feelings.

I won't allow you, a liar, to run away for that reason alone.
That's right, okay? I won't let you get away, Ta-kun...

"Hey, can I ask just one more thing?"
"...Do you want to punch me?"
"How much did you like Aya-chan?"
"A lot. Quite a lot. Extremely".
"...I see."

He answered immediately, huh... Seriously, this guy!
Well, I guess it's cowardly of me to use the past tense.

"Then, then..."
"Wasn't there just one more?"
"You said you've liked me for a very long time... but how much did you like me?"
"A lot. Quite a lot. Extremely".
"...Okay then."
"Ah..."

...Another quick answer. So, if his feelings for Aya aren't a lie, then his feelings for me aren't a lie either, is that it...?

He's so indecisive! Well, I guess I'm a chicken for putting it in the past tense.

"Hey, Hikari..."
"Hmm?"
"Stop doing that."
"What do you mean?"
"What do I mean..."

He's confused. He's panicking. I can't believe he's still so flustered after such a shocking coming out. But he definitely seems anxious. His hands are warm. They're trembling a little, and they're sweaty.

"It's warm, you say..."
"If you don't like it, just run away."

The fact that I could tell the condition of his hands in that way... well, it was because I was placing my hands on his.

I held down both of his hands, which were resting on the floor, to prevent him from escaping... Although, he could easily break free if he just shook me off.

But he doesn't run away. Of course not, right? Because he really, really, really liked me. Those kinds of feelings don't just disappear so easily. I'm sure that's true of his feelings for Aya-chan too...

"Hey, you know..."
"Hmm?"
"You're way so manly..."
"Come on, that's not a compliment, you know?"

If I don't look at your face, I can be honest. I may not be able to say the right words, but I can place my hands together with heartfelt emotion.

Shirasaka Hikari, 16 years old...

For me, it was an incredibly audacious act...
but for an average high school girl, it was a remarkably small act of courage.

 

[justformangatoo]

I still prefer the other 2 from Hikari’s group to go with the yuri route with Hikari instead of Yuu, but hey atleast both are mature enough to consult each other.
Now with Yami gone a bit maybe the romcom fluff could return, heh who am I kidding this shit a dumpster fire that I forced myself to read, ain’t no way that ever happening again unless it’s a .5 chapter.

 

[roguezilla]

drama this drama that, i personally gave up on this manga long ago
im only here for the inevitable "hikari gets railed by yuu" chapter because she knows yami has experienced it and will want to experience it herself too

 

[EulBassist]

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[GennArc]

Again, we're getting all these insights into Hikari's mindsight and they are not making it to the manga.

Seriously, we get all these insights into Hikari's mind and none of the really good stuff is shared in the manga. I would venture to say that most of the people reading this on Mangadex don't bother to click on the novel link in the description and go read it. I just don't understand why they leave so much out.

To be fair, it's a thing for almost any manga, especially when a novel version exists. A severely limited window into a protagonist’s inner monologue has always been a major drawback for me, especially when it's a talk-heavy story like this one. And I kinda get why they do it. If a manga gets too verbose, people will start complaining how it's all text, "tell don't show" etc.
But that's probably why we have both versions released simultaneously. If manga included everything from the novel, there wouldn't be much point in the latter to exist.

Author trying to wrap this up fast lmao. We have an arc of literally 3 + chapters off ass level page counts of nothingness and in chapter we reconcile and kinship while casually sweeping it all under the rug. Consistently ass as someone else stated lol, forcing a yuu x hikari run this fast just feels like mangaka trying to appease the crowd half assed.

There is no indication it's wrapping up whatsoever.

 

[peortega1]

im only here for the inevitable "hikari gets railed by yuu" chapter because she knows yami has experienced it and will want to experience it herself too

So, this definitely will be School Days again:

 

[Xerlith]

You can feel bad about Yami and acknowledge the fact that she's suffering through the consequences of her own actions. They didn't really break her, but they can heal her by getting her the professional help that she needs.

What "professional help"? Mate, it's Japan.

Best you can get there is social ostracism until you bottle it up and die of overwork later in life.

 

[Rafalga]

Ugg my March Madness bracket is in shambles and now I have to read another chapter of this manga that leaves out sooooo much information from the novel.

In the novel, right between Hikari asking Yuu to talk and him starting to talk (so pages 3 and 4 of this chapter), Yuu says "Yami-senpai is the first person who has ever saved me in my life...and the first person I've ever had to save in my life." This causes Hikari to think that his statement is a death sentence for her aka her chances of having any sort of romantic relationship with Yuu. It's compounded further on when she realizes that Yuu and Yami are 30 steps ahead of her.

Then, when they're arguing on pages 6 & 7 about who helped melt Yami's heart and the fact that they both "broke" Yami again, Hikari thinks "Should I give Ta-kun to Aya-chan? But would that even make Aya-chan happy? And more importantly, would that even be something I could accept?" I would assume that's a big enough reveal to make the manga but nope.

Also, regarding the whole "we broke Yami thing" - seriously barf - Yami did the heavy lifting there. If you want to think about it logically, Hikari had no clue that Yami and Yuu even knew each other until she witnessed the kiss and Yuu had no clue that Yami and Hikari knew each other until he met Yami in the classroom. For both Yuu and Hikari to try to take ownership of Yami breaking is lame and frankly kind of insulting to the reader.

Right after page 8 in the manga, in the novel Hikari thinks "I won't let the weakling Ta-kun decide anything right now because he's the one who lied to me in the first place. So from now on I will only follow my own feelings. I won't allow him, a liar, to run away for that reason alone. That's right, okay? I won't let you get away, Ta-kun" - I think this is a pretty big revelation that gets zero mention in the manga.

Then on page 11 after Hikari has asked about how much Yuu liked Yami and her there's nothing further but in the novel, Hikari thinks "So, if his feelings for Aya aren't a lie, then his feelings for me aren't a lie either, is that it? He's so indecisive! Well, I guess I'm a chicken for using the past tense when asking about his love for Aya." Again, we're getting all these insights into Hikari's mindsight and they are not making it to the manga.

Finally, in the novel, right after Hikari puts her hand over Yuu's we get the following insight into her mind: "He could easily break free if he just shook me off. But he doesn't run away. Of course not, right? Because he really, really, really liked me. Those kind of feelings don't just disappear so easily. I'm sure that's true of his feelings for Aya-chan too."

Seriously, we get all these insights into Hikari's mind and none of the really good stuff is shared in the manga. I would venture to say that most of the people reading this on Mangadex don't bother to click on the novel link in the description and go read it. I just don't understand why they leave so much out.

Yom's been checked out for a while now. He also has a very blatant bias towards Hikari. Anything that might put her in even a slight compromising / selfish / calculating light, he leaves is out. Manga slowly becoming a incoherent fanfic level mass at this point.

 

[beThereShortly]

Hikari is too good for him, and Aya, and this whole manga really.

I vote for Hikari to be hit by a buss and isekai-ed into a cheesy-villainess manga.
Fuck it. Throw some sci-fi flavor into it.
