First of all, I don't think he perceives it as a permission. She is not his parent or anything. As for the matter, it's just as straightforward as it gets. She decided that reaching out to Yami was more important than her own jealousy. It's not. "Hikari suffered but she is mentally strong and...

Well, no? "Yuu thinks this is Hikari closing him off, that's why he goes for Yami" and "Yuu needed Hikari's advice to go for Yami" is not the same at all. Let me suggest a third option: he thinks Yami needs him more. He can't choose and doesn't want to choose, but feels like Yami is the one who...

I don't know, the next step in that line of reasoning for me would be different: that Yuu's heart is not 100% in it if he needs someone else's advice. Yours needs too many assumptions. Which still can be true, of course, but I don't see anything pointing to that. Are you still talking from...

I think what could actually influence her choice is the thought that this is urged by Hikari instead of being his own decision. It's not about giving him to her (which would be about "saving her" rather than getting them back together anyway), but about it not being completely his own decision...

Oh, poor him. Instead of drawing a generic romcom #402395, he was blindsided (actually, not) into drawing something impactful under the pen of one of his favorite writers.

Which means that as of chapter 50 she didn't think that Hikari won't have him. We could theorize about why she ends up rejecting him, but at no point does she say or think that she is a consolation prize. Same with Hikari. So you agree in the end? Because he is honest with both about caring...

I know, right? Used to draw that garbage, now draws an actually good manga. That's what finding a competent writer does to a mangaka.

You two likely meant the same thing, that she's happy about him failing to make up with Yami. There's nothing indicating any sort of joy in the novel. Hikari is completely unable to decide what to do and what kind of expression she should make.

I think it's not about the consolation prize, being the second choice or anything. Chapter 50 had Yami thinking that the winner is decided already, which imo contradicts your idea that she thinks Hikari won't have him. Both recognize that Yuu also has the other girl on his mind and that hurts...

Where did you get that from? For all she knows, she has no reason to think Hikari won't have him.

I think there are a few misinterpretations here. First of all, Hinako never hated Shiori. She did feel disillusioned and betrayed when it turned out Shiori was lying to her, but hate is too strong of a word. Hinako is generally good-natured to hate anyone + she is too focused on her own inner...

There is enough narrative justification for him to choose either of them already, he already has a history with both, he was already shown to be longing for both. Fair, but since you previously said "it's not a matter of preference", it felt like you were framing it as a fact.

It does pay off though. The whole drama works because of an emotional investment in both Hikari and Yami. I don't see how she stopped mattering or how she is an afterthought when the entire narrative is either her POV or is heavily influenced by her decisions. It clearly is a matter of...

Like many others, you simply chose to view the story through the specific prism of Hikari's perspective. "I don't need to see it because Hikari isn't featured" or something like that. Why though? Why should the narrative always revolve around Hikari? Do you only get invested in someone if you...

I guess we're talking about same things, but since we disagree about the nuances of their past relationship, we're expressing them using different words. But I'd like to stress that the consequences thing is completely new. No one was hurt by their past relationship but themselves, now there are...

If that's correct, I am sure Yami already finds it dumb but still goes for it. Yeah, but at least some sort of thinking happened in those seconds, and since it's omitted, we can't even tell what it was. Yeah, but my other theories also fit into this: She thinks he might not be fully earnest...

I'm not sure that's her reasoning. Although, to be fair, I can't comprehend her reasoning either way. Novel version doesn't help much. It's not like it's out of character, but I can't even imagine the line of thinking in those few seconds marked with "..." Whatever this "I can't lie about how...

The only way he can be S is by denying her any intimacy. And considering that's basically all he's done since the very beginning, I guess, in a sense, he's always been the S.

There's no point in continuing this after the first part ended. It started really good, but then the main boss went down without putting up much of a fight and now we're just watching extremely long unskippable end-game credits to maybe get a post-credit scene which is not even guaranteed to be...

This arc was an embarassingly bad attempt at introducing a new friend for Haimiya. Not only was the premise contrived, but also the arc itself was a complete waste of time with how little it told about the characters and how much time was spent on irrelevant kids.
