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

[Loukhx]

Can't wait for Hebikawa to get rejected when she eventually tries to make her move.

Hasn't that already kind of been happening to her for the past... i don't even know how many chapters every time she ineracts with Shizuki?

 

[WaterSoluble]

Are there any other manga where the two losing heroines / heroes are way more interesting than the main characters? I'm basically reading this for Otobe and Hebikawa right now.

Otobe is a loser

It's kind of interesting to see where her story would go cus it's mostly been her trying to apply her world view on the three others but them basically being immovable and ending up rubbing off on her instead.

Tries to meddle with MC - gets shot down or seen through every time, and instead ends up getting genuinely touched by some of MC's actions

Tries to meddle with the two girls - they "include" her instead by indirectly forcing her to be part of the volleyball team effort, and, in stark contrast to her current or past friends, aren't afraid to call her out directly instead of behind her back, and for a good intention instead of to hurt her (even with Kusunoki indirectly throwing shade). Romantically, she thought she could provoke them but Otobe ends up sacrificing herself for the greater good.

Now, with Otobe and Keisuke basically being unswayable, It seems the only person left she might be able to provoke is Kusunoki. Is she gonna succeed at making her jealous, or is she gonna hit a brick wall like she did with the other two, and end up becoming the one who gets changed herself? Or is it gonna be a bit of both? It would be interesting if the climax becomes one between Snek with a bit of kindness vs Kusu with a bit of jealousy, with the two of them both having rubbed off on each other and changed by the people around them.

Your sons finger paintings arent written characters. The lead girl has zero personality, this is a flaw of the story, the author needs to fix this.
The snake isn't like a top 10 written character of all time but she's better written than anyone else in the manga by a massive margin.
All I'm saying is that the rest of the cast should be brought up to this level but you can't comprehend that and just want to consume slop

Hebikawa isn't very interesting tho. It isn't a comprehension issue for me. I have seen this exact character in so many light novels (the superior form of media) maybe you should expand your horizons from just picture books, and then you would realize how 1 dimensional she actually is as a character.

I think what he did was good personally. She did not need to be left alone in that state, and he could tell she was just pretending to be okay. She needed someone to talk to and vent to.

Literally anyone but Kusonoki would've made sense though. Don't sit here and act like it isn't stupid that he sent the girl they both know he actually likes to go "cheer her up" and make sure she isn't alone. Who in their right mind would want their rival of all people to come comfort them after being rejected?

 

[SmogglerKing]

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.

Why would it make any sense for her to be comforted by the person the mc actually loves?

Yes what a bad idea to send her best friend over to talk to her when she is clearly upset.

You can just say you don't have any friends man it's fine i won't judge you.

Because Kusunoki is her MYLADY and it will serve to the plot, triggering Kusunoki's trauma and letting her see that a true friend will not be jealous but will support her

... Unless we'll get a turnaround with Otobe cutting Kusunoki's hair
