Yancha Gal no Anjou-san - Ch. 234 - The Last Cultural Festival with Anjou-san

[bakakubi]

I'm not here to read for other people. I quote the bits that I find important. No context is being left out because, Chii literally tells us, the readers, what their relationship status is. You got that, you can read, so I don't see why you feel offended for people that can't. Did those people somehow comment when they only read that first part and didn't read the rest? Possible, but the last chapter also ends on a flat out rejection as well. This manga isn't written in a way where a brother/sister relationship would imply possessives to a degree of not letting the other person date someone else.

As for your analysis, why do you think Tokio hasn't come to terms with their situation. To me, him entering this competition is him trying to get Chi to face him head on and get her to openly reject him so they can return to their old relationship. Or at the very least get everything out in the open after being dodged for a while. Why does he need space, when he's clearly mature enough to accept the friendship he already has?

Or why do you think it would be better for Chii to give him time when this whole arc has been about the worry of separating with others. She accepts that things change but the rejection of another person's romance doesn't have to mean that their relationship needs to change after the fact at all. Neither of them want that so, what's the problem?

In this story where the arc themes are literally write in the text it self. I don't need to quote every single line. If I'm wrong call me out on it. If you think they're subtext that I'm missing, let me have it. But this story isn't that complex. Much like Chii, it lays all of its cards out on the table.

Holy shit, youre reading comprehension fucking sucks!

Might be why you like this arc so much.

What makes you think he likes this arc?
It's crazy how you read someone calmly analyzing character's behavior instead of being mad at a fictional high school girl and immediately assume they love the arc.

Sure whatever. He can say no if he doesn't want to.

Hey, if you think Tokio doesn't want their relationship to change after having a crush on her for what, 2/3rds of his life - I don't know how to get that point across 🤷‍♂️

Seriously, I only called you out on disregarding others ability to read when your argumentation is, in my eyes, flawed to begin with. I didn't say anything about the story arc or what the author maybe wanted us readers to see/feel/comprehend.

It's just that you can't pick out only parts of what she said to bolster your argument.

I, myself, am not one of the hatera that react like a vampire seeing the dawn whenever a Chii chapter goes live.

But you got to accept that the way she phrased things it can't only be read / understood as 'We'll always be foodies and bro/sis level besties even if you get over me romantically and find someone to throw your romatical love at' as you do.

If you read only this chapter of this series, without the 'reader' insight we all got, are you really sure you wouldn't think about what she said the way I, and many others, have pointed out?

The way she phrased her speech didn't put her in ANY type of good light. She quite literally said 'I could put you free from those feelings binding you from early childhood - but that's not how I want things to turn out'


Tokio got NO clue about what's going on in her mind, her inner monologues this/ the last chapter(s). He just accepts it as-ia because that poor young fellow is too vulnerable and inexperienced to get what's going on and will most likely be led along for a damn long time.

Not that that's what will happen in the future - just viewing the first part of this chapter as a 'stand alone' (my argument is being watered down with the fact that you wouldn't know just HOW infatuated he is with that girl, I'm aware of that) I don't quite get how anyone would come to a conclusion like yours.

Again - I don't want to either disregard or disrespect your point of view. I just feel it's very, VERY disrespectful of you to tell poeple they can't read/ have no reading comprehension while you seemingly can't get this point of view.

Sure, I too think Chii isn't the second coming of a failing austrian artist (over the top, I know, but well...) - but she isn't Chiisus Christ Super Star either!

And the victim is oue sweet Tokio. He does deserve to quickly get to the point where he can 'Let her go... Let her goooo' - Which her little speech didn't help with. If she had phrased it like my initial post, it'd be a different story.

Would it have been Chii like? Well, not really. Bringing across the same meaning, phrased in her words? Now THAT would have been character growth and maybe 1/3 lesser Chii hate posts 🤔

Yeah, sorry. Calmy analyzing isn't questioning people's ability to read and comprehend.

And argumenting with people about our different opinions, so we may in the end see eye to eye, is so many levels above putting emotional energy into hating a fictional underaged girl, with other sotial and societal standards then our non japanese ones to be based off of, to boot...

Granted, the post you reacted to was emotional too - but that circles back to the first part of this post 😊

 

[Wizardrone]

thanks for chapter

finally main couple

 

[fudex]

Friendzoned forever? Lets fucking goo somewhere else.

 

[BalrogDeMorgoth]

We're not saying we don't want her to be ace.

I am. That shit isn't real and this is a ROMcom. I want ROMANCE and comedy.

Fair enough. If anything, I was making it so that they can't use sensuality as an excuse to hide behind bad writing & horrible behavior.

You can clearly see from their comment they were using that purposely to deflect.

Keep deflecting and moving the goal post. You'll definitely win those internet points.

So it ended up being a platonic relationship?

I don't see anything change at all. Basically: Chita 'I will do whatever the fuck I want when I need you to, like you have to keep me company when no one do, and do whatever I ask for my youtube views. But when I don't, FUCK OFF. Be my bitch for the rest of your life.' Tokio 'OMG, I am so happy.'
Tokio stay at a simp doormat and Chita stay at a piece of shit.
Wow, all these chapters were fucking wasted on their bullshit drama. The entire arc was such a waste of fucking time. Holy fuck.

Its not that he doesn't want to go out with her but he respects her enough to accept her choice to be friends. And he still genuinely wants to be friends.

The way she phrased her speech didn't put her in ANY type of good light. She quite literally said 'I could put you free from those feelings binding you from early childhood - but that's not how I want things to turn out'

Tokio is the one with the crush. Getting over it is completely on him to do. Chii should not have to change for him to get over his crush because those are HIS feelings. Just like rejecting them are her feelings. And if he did truly want to make some space, he can say that because he's his OWN person. Just because Chii says in a cheeky way that he "belongs to her" does not stop him from being his own person.

Tokio got NO clue about what's going on in her mind, her inner monologues this/ the last chapter(s). He just accepts it as-ia because that poor young fellow is too vulnerable and inexperienced to get what's going on and will most likely be led along for a damn long time.

He clearly knows she does not like him that way. You don't challenge a 4ft girl who can out eat a 6ft man without knowing your chances of victory. His wants, a relationship; and his expectations, his loss; and his acceptance, their friendship can all exists at the same time. That's probably the deepest most subtextual bit of these chapters. And if you think being told "NO" to your face but still being asked to be their friend is leading someone on, you need to rethink how relationships work between people.

Which leads to your main point of, why am I so disrespectful and can't see the point of view of people who would think that Tokio is being lead on? Or something similar. Well if someone thinks that being bluntly rejected but still being accepted as a friend is being led on; they probably don't deserve respect.

And to make things explicit clear of who I'm talking about. I'm talking about the people who write, "Chii is such a cunt for keeping Tokio in the cuck chair." Words used in this forum. People can not like this arc, not like these character, but if their form of expression is that, and you now, they actually mean it and aren't fucking around... They're stupid and they can't read. And too many people are expressing this for all of it to be a joke.

I can easily put myself in their shoes. They're immature, insecure, and way more selfish than Chii has ever been. And sure, I feel sorry for them, and maybe they can read and all of those negative emotions are getting in the way; but if they've already said it, its not my job to give them grace after that.

If someone has truly read this for the first time and is truly curious at the idea of two people still choosing to be friends after one the rejects the other, then I can give that person some grace. Not understanding that love and friendship come from the same place of respect but are still unipuely different. They've never thought of such a possibility before. That guy's okay. But some of the people I've been seeing complain about Chii for months in these forums are not that guy. Fuck 'em. They're sputid and they can't read.
