Kusunoki-san wa Koukou Debut ni Shippai Shite Iru - Ch. 51 - I want to say… even just a little of how I feel.

[Lunkli]

So, basically, what that fortune is telling us is that we've still got a ways to go. Unless it gets axed.

 

[Phantasmoon]

Well, I better get ready for this being dragged to the chapter 100++ mark because hoo boi, the absense of Hebikawa advancing things is massive.

This wasn't a bad chapter though, but considering how it dragged this far...

 

[Doutorfunga]

I get a really foreboding feeling out of this, for some reason. Maybe I'm just not used to a romcom protagonist trying to convince himself she might like him back, but him continuing to read into the situation when she herself isn't aware of her feelings... I feel like this is heading for a T-bone car crash.

Yeah, it seems their feelings are not really mutual, at least not yet

can we bring back hebi? shes more entertaining than reading 2 cardboard cut outs fumbling on will he, will she, will they.

Pathetic scrub. 👨‍🦼

Some might say after this chapter it's over for snek-boys or otobros, but honestly, this chapter really makes me think Kusunoki is not end-game

So otobe-sama might still have a chance!! huffs dangerous levels of copium

 

[ninjacookie]

Thanks for the TL

 

[EulBassist]

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[Kaito57]

Well, we are at a stalemate here… Good enough for now.

I don't think she's not being honest with it.

I'd argue she's not even aware of whether she feels anything for Keisuke. We the readers can say she does, but in-story, unless I missed something, nothing's happened to give more than an impression that there might be some unconscious bit of attraction on her part.
And I'd say it can only be implied because it's what's expected by way of the genre of story and what we'd see happen based on the tropes at play. But re-reading the story again...other than a few panels from Kusunoki sprinkled throughout the chapters here and there that show her making a face for a moment...she really is just ignorant of romance and her feelings toward it, beyond the "I don't like it because it ruined things for me before".

I'm not saying she likes or doesnt like Keisuke, more that she justifies her choices not through her own feelings but those of others. She's clearly confused about how she feels towards Keisuke and doesnt seek to resolve that.

But hey that's just how I read it and I'm too lazy to go check back on previous chapters.

 

[Freeland]

keisuke please, we want development and progress

choose someone, do something

No snek this chapter. Dissapointment immeasurable.

No snek this chapter. Joy overflowing.

Duality of man.

Notes: almost equal ratio too.

Apparently 52 is out

I skip no snek.

I believe in Tiny Tanned Tomboy supremacy.
I don't care if it's a lost cause, I will die on this hill.

This is how our ancestors lived.

Really? from the previews I saw I could've sworn she was

Oh right, 52. Gonna wait then.

Furthermore, she might have nascent feelings for her male friend--though she's not aware of them, and I'd argue that it's only implied in a few places along the narrative we've seen thus far, but that it's not something that could be confirmed, beyond it being 'expected' if we assume this story plays out like others in its genre.

There really is no might to it. The scene where she was sick in chapter 46. Her heart racing when he said he was going on the "date" with hebi. Idk how much less subtle it would need to be without outright stating it.

Similar to it not being subtle that he has 0 feelings for otobe. When she said a guy confessed to her. He did not react at all. He even told her to consider the guy properly. The author is not very good at being subtle. Idk why you say might

 

[TestAddress]

We all know this is a Hima Ten.

If it becomes a Hebi win, then I can say, author is not a wimp.
