Kusunoki-san wa Koukou Debut ni Shippai Shite Iru - Ch. 59.2 - Otobe is definitely acting weird today (Part 2)

[HYBRID_BEING]

Otobe is cute but she was fighting a losing battle from the start.

 

[sceptiel33]

Ah, I got things mixed up. My bad.

Still feels like shit...

Agreed she is my favorite after all.

 

[nihaoma11]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Wizardrone]

thanks for chapter

that was quick. still none of them match Hebi Sama!

 

[Arlo]

That was pleasantly well-handled.

It was guaranteed that Otobe was going to lose (she even knew it), but the moment had to happen anyway, not just for her but for everyone involved.

By setting it at the festival, Hebikawa was kept out of the loop, as she needed to be - the last thing in the world those people needed right then was a self-serving manipulator butting in and trying to make everybody miserable.

And while sending Kusunoki to look after Otobe struck me as odd and a bit disappointing at first (too reminiscent of the earlier "I don't want to get involved" version of Keisuke), I think it was the right move. Kusunoki can comfort her better than anyone else ever could, plus, from a meta-narrative standpoint, it'll likely be a good opportunity for Otobe to take on her role as wingwoman.

And thanks to Shadow-sama for consistent quality work.

Also thinking about it, Kusunoki comforting Moe is the excellent opportunity for her to be honest, confront her own feelings and get over her trauma, Kusunoki does need to tell her that she likes Keisuke, so my only hope is that Kusunoki doesn't have a moment of feeling guilty and tries to distance herself from Keisuke since Otobe doesn't want that.

You're also completely right about Hebikawa not being involved, fact of the matter is she would not offer any comfort to Otobe and would see it as a chance to push Kusunoki further to see her "dark side" (which still doesn't exist) if things turn out well then Kusunoki and Otobe will have an honest conversation and Otobe will start playing wingwoman to Kusunoki which might shock Hebikawa.

Thank you for the translation.

 

[rymar]

It's never been more over

 

[SilverExp]

My Otobe stock! IT'S ALL GONE! WORTHLESS! You don't understand I invested so much I will never recover

 

[This_is_a_bucket]

ACTUAL CHAPTER WHERE THINGS HAPPEN POG?!???

 

[This_is_a_bucket]

ACTUAL CHAPTER WHERE THINGS HAPPEN POG?!???

(not as in Otobe losing, just as in "we've gone 3 months without a chapter that actually progresses the plot")

 

[jojoka]

Moe got a clean rejection and now she knows Kusunoki and Keisuke like each other, all that's really left is for Hebikawa to stop scheming and become a better person.

The manga having an ending even a white boy would say is too bland and lacks spice

 

[long0963]

where is my snake? why this chapter missing the most important one?

 

[Killthescribe]

Remember, everything we have is because of Hebikawa. Respec the snek

Only if you're an uppity snek fan who can only mock other characters and strike other people's posts without bringing any viable discussion to the table.

That is their secret move

 

[mc.god]

And here we go with cute lil' Otobe makehined, that was sad but unavoidable, even though all that cuteness she was unleashing and that mandatory hand holding in the crowd would have make skip a beat tho the hearth of many others romcoms MCs, so respect to Shizuki.
I really appreciated how, when the time came, both were really straightforward in confessing and answering to make things clear.

 

[inazumaday]

I think the purpose of Otobe confessing here is to make the MC understand that he's someone worthy of being liked.
Despite his outward changes, he's still not confident about himself.

 

[HughMann2]

I look forward to snek-free ending.

Boss, you say there's only room for one Snake... no. The world is better off without Snakes.
