Haimiya-senpai wa Kowakute Kawaii - Ch. 44

While everyone's making some unsettling theories, I just want to share some "interesting" theories that randomly pop up in my head:

First, Haimiya's absence from school might indicate that she actually had a reflection on Kurose's efforts to "become someone". That she, "indeed", is actually doing a similar thing, but in an exact opposite way (i.e. pretending to be someone). Her cool and strong sense of self, like what Kurose said, might actually be her way of hiding her fragile personality or her own past. She kept her composure around Kurose when they were on the beach, and by the time they went home, she finally broke down which is why she might not be coming for school for a while. She may choose to open it up at that time to Kurose, but I think she might actually not be confident enough to do so.

Another theory is that Haimiya and Aya-Sensei might actually be related. Because of their closeness, I had this strong sense that they might actually be related, could be Mother and Daughter. But they are hiding their real connection for some reason and living apart, given the fact that Haimiya is living alone in an apartment if I'm not mistaken. It's unclear whether "Aya" is Sensei's surname or given name, but it is clear that her full name is unknown. This might also an answer to why Haimiya only told Sensei and not everyone else (even Kurose) about her absence from school.

These are just my theories so I might be wrong. So let's just look forward to what will happen next in the story.

PS: I don't know why these pop up on my head, but it's probably because I'm sick of those "Terminal Illness" theories which made me sleepless. LOL

Damn, I guess she's dead.

Is it kinda foreboding that the song “Jane Doe” from the Chainsaw Movie began playing on my playlist…

NOOOOOOOO LIKE I LOWKEY KINDA SAW IT COMING BUT I WAS IN DENIAL

 

[Desperdb]

Yeah dropping this after ch41 is good after all. Very questionable drama timing out of nowhere is simply terrible writing. I have no issue with drama but there was zero build up whatsoever,

Brooooo don't give her some kind of health thing out of nowhere come on

Can’t really say it’s “out of nowhere” when the entire series she’s been in the infirmary

 

[MangaRockRefugee]

I hope she just has some social anxiety or shit

Yeah, I don't want it to be some bad health stuff, I'm not going through that again.

And there's the "Just don't have trauma," "Wow, thanks! I'm cured!" That I was worried about when Kurose's trauma was introduced

edit: Since I got some valid comments I want to clarify. My issue isn't that Haimiya was able to help him take a step forward and feel better in the moment. I also acknowledge that he says the wounds will remain. My issue is that the story moves on so quickly into Haimiya's issues without letting Kurose's situation fully resolve so it feels like a hand-wave of his situation. Literally one more chapter showing him talking to the band, expressing his sincere apology and explaining the situation (pushed forward and supported by Haimiya) and them removing the self inflicted pressure by emphasizing that they want to play with him because they like him and have fun playing with him but he shouldn't feel pressured to play and if he's not sure they'll figure something out, or something, then lead into Haimiya's situation, and give Kurose one more "i'm so nervous/trauma response" moment right before performing but seeing Haimiya in the crowd and his bandmates supporting him lets him perform and kill it would close out both arcs perfectly (imo) by letting both characters have enough time and respect shown for their respective situations. As it stands, Kurose's trauma feels like "we developed Kurose" and more like "This was just a stepping stone to move the story along" and that makes his trauma a plot device and not a character trait. I dislike that is all.

Super valid! Maybe Kurose will have to deal with both at the same time in the coming chapters?

I think so. He would probably apologize to his bandmates first, and then proceeds to help Haimiya on her situation, repaying the same kindness he received from her.

"she burned her tummy from eating all that stinky garlic and has to fart 24/7 so she can't attend and will be all alone for the whole week....that is ..... unless ofcourse kurose kun ..... you become a fart pervert and making you able to endure the haimiya fart hot box."

 

[nnTsumiki]

I'd say let her die. Let her die let her die, let her shrivel up and- c'mon, who's with me, huh?
