Man it is so weird watching people sling this much hate just because a character isn't baseline shounen hetero love interest FC.

Especially the dudes that are all, "She turned him down? She deserves to be alone and miserable just like the girl from high school I liked but wasn't interested in me that I still stalk on facebook five years after graduation!"

Seriously, you're telling on yourselves something hardcore.
You’ve misunderstood the criticism. It’s perfectly fine for her to not return his affections, the problem is that she’s a selfish person who has refused to accept that she will not be a high schooler forever and her life is going to change one way or the other, and the relationships she has had up to this point will weaken with distance and time, and more to the point her own selfish actions (recall the beach episode where she effectively whored out her friends for publicity at the cost of their boyfriends’ dissatisfaction, which was its own arc of everybody who wasn’t Chita figuring out this maybe wasn’t such a wholesome thing to do). She has precisely rejected the lesson she should have learned from this arc, which is that she has to accept that things change, and this comfortable friendly relationship she has with him won’t last forever.

But we are, though, whether the author likes it or not. He has set up a tragedy, it remains to be seen what kind of tragedy it is.
These are all schoolchildren being immature. There is no tragedy here, its puppy love and first loves and all that, which can be very dramatic for the teenagers involved but 90% of people move on from all this silliness.

I wonder if this manga will even show Tokio freeing himself from the specter of his first love or if he'll just be shoved into background and forgotten after this?
Hopefully, BesCon will be fun wacky sappy shenanigans between our beloved idiot couples~ :wooow:

what a miserable bitch. i was probably one of the few people left who was invested in the arc and actively rooting for some kinda real character development from her one way or another. only for her to turn around and make the absolute worst, most selfish, least interesting choice possible and spit in the face of the very idea of developing her character even a little. i hope we are finished with this plotline now.

I don't really care about her developing or not, someone who decide to stay true to themselves even as things change can be good, what I care is that she's basically dragging her friend with her, never giving him what he wants but also never giving him closure OR letting him get with someone else.

that would be what we call character development. if she was willing to stick to her guns even at personal cost to herself that would develop her. instead she revealed nothing and maintained her lack of empathy and selfish desire to have everything she wants even at the expense of others around her, something that had already been well established. i have a feeling the author is going to hand wave "they get together eventually" somewhere down the line, to make her actions less awful retroactively.

im so glad chi-chan got to stay true to herself the whole way through
I'm not because a manga arc is supposed to bring SOMETHING to the opera (unless it's just pure SoL or a 4koma pure comic, maybe). Here it brought literally zero, no changes in anyone whatsoever. A waste of time

Poor Tokio didn't even had some kind of closure, like, he's still trapped in being a friendzoned third wheel between Chi and Food

Also, for the love of God, people, these are kids. They don't know shit about shit. Cut Chi some slack, couch psychologists :dogkek:

Anjou's scared face was adorable, why did it take the mangaka this long to show us this??
The image isn't loading for me, but I imagine it's the panel of her clinging to Seto in a haunted house (?). To answer your question, I'm pretty sure we've already seen it. A lot of chapters ago we should have introduced to Anna's view on horror, which can be summarised with "I enjoy being terrified"

I'm not gonna become your girlfriend.

Understandable, have a nice day.

You belong to me forever. If I turned you down you would have fallen in love and gone out with someone else happily, but you're stuck with me as my brother and foodie partner forever.

The fuck???

I feel like this whole arc could've been salvaged pretty easily. Don't go out with him, make it clear you're not and never will be interested in him romantically. Nothing wrong with just wanting to stay platonic friends. But let him move on! Then later on show him in a happy relationship with someone else, while maintaining that close friendship with Chi. Her telling him she'll never love him romantically, but he also isn't allowed to fall in love with anyone else, that's some BS.
