I have no hope that Chiyo will change her mind on her own or give Igarashi another chance to explain, particularly being influenced by those man-hating friends of hers.

Spoiler

The way I see it is that the only way that Chiyo reconsider is if she hears the truth of what happened that night from someone else, possibly Kitamoto, though he's unlikely to tell her as he would like to be next in line to be her boyfriend.

The one thing I do fear is that Chiyo will hook up with and start dating Ookuma. If that were to actually happen, I would probably stop reading this and wait until it was all over and then finish reading it. And maybe not even then.
There was one comment in the comment section for this chapter on comicojp that I found interesting:

傷ついたというより、五十嵐を軽蔑してるだけのように思える。
It seems like you're just despising Igarashi rather than being hurt.

which certainly seems like how Chiyo is reacting.

It brings me back to a fear that I have had for a long time about her if they were to break up, that Chiyo would act rashly and do something very spiteful just to "get even" with Igarashi, like spending the night in a Love Hotel with someone having sex (Ookuma comes to mind) and send photos to Igarashi. The thought that Chiyo might have sex with Ookuma as revenge upon Igarashi first occured to me a very, very long time ago while charlemagne was still translating the series. However, the idea of Igarashi getting shit-faced and ending up spending the night in a Love Hotel with Subaru never crossed my mind, but Coco made it happen. If she's willing to do that, it's not much of a stretch to have Chiyo spend the night in a Love Hotel with Ookuma, though it would probably be Ookuma, not Chiyo, who sends pictures to Igarashi of them having sex.
I cannot wholeheartedly feel good about Subaru. Although her heart might be in the right place, her actions are those of a scheming bitch. She knows the Igarashi has a girlfriend, but she intentionally attempts to get him to betray his girlfriend in the worst possible ways. She might be the best girlfriend for Igarashi once she gets there, but she is using very underhanded tactics that I can't approve of. What should have happened after Igarashi got shit-faced is that one of his senpai should have taken Igarashi home.

It behoves me to understand why a mangaka would create such a likeable, kind, and sincere MC and then proceed to trash him whenever possible so as to make the readers hate him, as most certainly do on comicojp, as well as making all the other characters in the story turn against him, even his own friends. Makes me wonder if this is actually semi-autobiographical and Chiyo is a representation of Coco herself.

Well latest raw.....

Spoiler

Coco finally brought back her MC she doted on while shitting on the whipping post MC Igarashi. Ookuma has finally returned to claim his prize who has always been thinking about him as well, Chiyo.

I have no idea how the author plans to salvage this. Are they gonna get back together after all this? If so then what's the message the author's trying to send?
Even if they don't get back together, then what's the overall moral of the story? That first loves probably aren't meant to be? That's a fairly realistic but oddly crushing message for a manga.
Honestly all the other drama I could at least power through, but this story has taken an unrecoverable turn off the deep end.

 

[sarshi]

@HammerU89
wait is it true?
now i can finally drop this shit lol

 

[Vasqueztion]

What even is this story anymore?

 

[dondelli1027]

this is dumb

 

[Xxjuggernaut]

Well, they broke up. I got my wish. Igarashi can ride off into the sunset with the other chick. Chiyo and middle school crush can date. Trash with trash seems fitting

 

[dokidoki]

Man I've been reading the comments for a while now and i legit can't imagine how the author can save this series at all or wtf they are doing with it other than burning it, i feel like this is gona turn into one of those series in which everyone is gona be pissed as fuck as to how it ends and felt like they wasted their times reading it

kudos to @FredFriendly for somehow having the will power to translate this sounding mess of a series without just going afk and waiting till the end of the raws before deciding wether to translate this series or not as I would've done


seriously tho from what I've understood from u guys is that this series has NTR doujin idiotic lvl's of plot as in people doing so many dumb things/reasons that make ZERO fucking sense at all like how is MC still friends with these fucking people when LITERALLY no one has his back, all I'm missing is hearing that his parents trash talk him too and actually hate his kind ass lmao I'm amazed MC hasn't killed himself yet......

 

[Karmichel]

@FredFriendly, she made them go through a lot of stuff and now she will throw it all away like that? She completely destroyed the male MC... He indeed made a mistake, but he is the least guilty in this whole history... I would drop in the act and ask for my money back if she really intends in make male MC (as you described) the villain like that, he doesn't deserve such fate. The female MC is stupid, she loved him and didn't try to figure out at least what happened, even if she doesn't in the end, stays with him anymore? It was the least she could do!

 

[SunWukong]

I absolutely loathe everyone in this manga, epecially Chiyo.

 

[jak]

@Karmichel

I mean it would be different if him cheating came from someone else, but it came from himself. I think she's in the right to be acting like this even if she acts like an immature brat at times. He does feel guilty, but I think the true misunderstanding is that they are both being deceived and that girl lied to him.

 

[Xxjuggernaut]

@Karmichel She did admit she's not mature enough

 

[Kuromizu]

Igarashi is at fault, but Chiyo is just an awful girlfriend. I truly hate her behavior. She's selfish and stupid. Igarashi should just go for the other girl.

 

[Karmichel]

@jak You loved a guy and you don't at least want to know what happened, even if you don't pretend to stay with him? Just him telling me this would make me curious about... What I am infuriated is that the artist, as @fredFriendly described decided to destroy the kind MC she builds over the years... For me, she is doing this to force finish her story, I've seen dozens of artists doing that to finish something they don't want to proceed.

 

[FredFriendly]

@sarshi What @HammerU89 said is fundamentally true, but what direction Coco intends to take the story is too early to tell, though we'll probably know when the next raw chapter is available in a couple days...

@dokidoki

i feel like this is gona turn into one of those series in which everyone is gona be pissed as fuck as to how it ends and felt like they wasted their times reading it

A lot of Japanese readers would be pleased as punch if Chiyo ends up with Ookuma, seeing how much hate Coco has generated for Igarashi, but many readers are gonna be pissed no matter how it ends, probably myself included.

 

[Karmichel]

I really wanted to learn Japanese to ask the author why she decided to roast (no, disintegrate) the male MC like this, he didn't deserve this fate

 

[dokidoki]

@FredFriendly like thats the thing tho i don't understand from what I've been reading it looks like JP HATES MC THE MOST ??? how can they not HATE everyone else just as much or even the most HATE the shit GF, this series legit feels like a HOW NOT TO HAVE A Relationship with ur SO guide, because just the fact that everyone in the series fucking assumes and never hears the others and acts first zero question later is ridiculous its basically a GUILTY until proven GUILTY situation by EVERYONE, it's crazy that these people are in college and have jobs yet they can't even fucking listen and talk to one another, this is hikikomori lvl of social problems that just screams plot broken imo

 

[dokidoki]

@Karmichel at this point I along with many others think the author is trying to suicide their work cause they fucking hate this series, I legit dont understand why they didnt axe this shit ages ago if they hate it so much

 

[closetmangafan]

Anyone else wondering why igarashi hasn't spoken to anyone else about what happened?
Like he had about 5 other guys with him that night, not one of them knows the truth of the matter?
