    The Woman Who Messes With My Emotions (2022) - Ch. 20

    I think it’s less that he feels a sense of authority over the fangirl and so he’s intentionally treating her badly, it’s more that he’s being manipulated by her into doing things he’d rather not (intentionally or not). He straight up chose Azusa when presented with the choice, and tried to put...

    The Woman Who Messes With My Emotions (2022) - Ch. 20

    Honestly this really makes me want to read a manga where the FMC exhibits every flag of being dangerous and like she’s preying on the MC but it never happens

    The Woman Who Messes With My Emotions (2022) - Ch. 20

    Honestly,I liked this. It was a series of very human foibles. His insecurity about his own self worth just happened hit against her indelicate advances in a way that caused very believable friction. What she views as an assurance organically landed in a way that struck a nerve he had exposed...

    Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 28 - As The Short Journey Ends (First Half)

    I mean, it objectively is a flashback. We entered into Ayami’s POV in the present, then jumped backwards to the current arc.

    Danjo no Yujou wa Seiritsu suru? (Iya, Shinai!!) - Ch. 10

    Thank you. I think I’ll stick with it then.

    Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 28 - As The Short Journey Ends (First Half)

    Because she was not an important character until the second the author needed her to be. Shit we got more information about the girl who forced Yuu to have a date with her. We didn’t get “chapters” dedicated to her, we got a few lines. People are frustrated because the twist wasn’t earned and...

    Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 28 - As The Short Journey Ends (First Half)

    i have, but it’s used incredibly poorly here. If you’re gonna use a limited POV then you should organically feed the character, and by extension the audience, the information the character needs. Hard cutting to a flashback just to fill in the missing info is lazy and cheap. This whole thing...

    Danjo no Yujou wa Seiritsu suru? (Iya, Shinai!!) - Ch. 10

    Mind spoiling? I’m debating if it’s worth pushing through.

    Danjo no Yujou wa Seiritsu suru? (Iya, Shinai!!) - Ch. 11

    Same, I liked her initially but she’s feeling more and more toxic really quickly which feels like a bit of a shame.

    Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 28 - As The Short Journey Ends (First Half)

    If Yami was going to be so paramount to the story, she should have had more importance beforehand. She didn’t even get particularly more screen time than any of Hikari’s other friends. The issue isn’t that Yami is important to the plot, it’s that rather than dole out information piece by piece...

    Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 28 - As The Short Journey Ends (First Half)

    What I’m saying is people are (justifiably) frustrated because not only did they rug pull us with a VIOLENT tone shift, they also put a full stop on story progress for 3 real life months just to full up a character who was hardly more than a Friend A during a moment when the story should start...

    Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 28 - As The Short Journey Ends (First Half)

    Swapping to Yuu’s perspective is whatever at this point, but can we please fucking get back to the current timeline? Backstory is neat and all but the actual plot has not progressed at all for 3 months. A better author would have peppered it in throughout rather than what is essentially a...

    Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 28 - As The Short Journey Ends (First Half)

    Your argument would hold weight if this arc wasn’t literally taking place in the past. It’s clearly a connect story designed to provide context to the story’s current events, it’s a flashback. Just because the POV shifted doesn’t mean it’s not a flashback. There’s been an established timeline...

    Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 28 - As The Short Journey Ends (First Half)

    Then the author should have written a separate story. Also, it IS a flashback by every definition, whether you want to argue or not. It’s like if Fellowship of the Rings cut off after Gandalf died and then had an entire second movie about the Balrog’s backstory.

    Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 28 - As The Short Journey Ends (First Half)

    That’s why I specified “protracted”. A couple quick flashback chapters? Yeah that would have worked, the pace would be maintained and the drama would have felt more natural. At this point it’s kinda just a indirect humiliation arc for Hikari, which feels entirely undeserved. Like if Hikari was...

    Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 28 - As The Short Journey Ends (First Half)

    I think my biggest issue is that Yuu from the Hikari chapters doesn’t act like a dude who, at this point, has gotten laid dozens of times. Which makes it feel like the writer decided they preferred Yami over Hikari and decided that she gets to fuck Yuu and be all lovey dovey. It smacks of...

    Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 28 - As The Short Journey Ends (First Half)

    Stopping the story mid-climax for a protracted flashback is generally regarded as poor writing. Which I agree with, the author got lost in the sauce and lost sight of what his story was about and what drew his readers in.

    Mizuki-senpai's Love Fortune-Telling - Vol. 5 Ch. 42

    I swear to god every time I read a new chapter I have to go back to the beginning to confirm that yes, this is the manga I think it is. I feel like I’m having a stroke every time I compare the beginning to where we are now. I don’t hate it, but wow is it some whiplash.

    Tokubetsu na Chuutohanpa - Ch. 48 - Hollow victory.

    I’m just saying since then I don’t really feel like she’s shown that at all. Honestly I’m currently under the assumption she changed her college choice. Like I said, she says a lot but I don’t feel like she’s done anything more than lip service and that’s why Asuna is spiraling. When push comes...

    Tokubetsu na Chuutohanpa - Ch. 48 - Hollow victory.

    Asuna has known what she wants from the beginning, she wants to be in a relationship with Misano. Misano’s the one who’s been keeping them vague.
