Since this arc's starting to heat up, we'll be releasing the next chapter in about a week!

Damn. Even the cliche bad guys had to respect the mc’s pure and Chad move.
Respect.

God. Hawk's love is so pure it even converted those Generic Pickup Artists. 🥲

 

[GlItchyTypo]

I hope they are able to progress day by day through the rest of summer as they make little permanent changes like helping his buddy confess. Would be a cool plot detail

Even if it turns out into a fight, the dude's still gonna win.

Thanks for the translation.
I probably need to reread the whole thing to better see the buildup of their relationship.

 

[carlbarker]

yeah bro, where did we go wrong?

 

[mlow44]

Third panel from the end had me literally clapping.

 

[hurafloyd]

Suzuki is (clumsily) da man!

 

[t28]

that panelling of them holding hands after he says it is just perfect as well

 

[gronkle]

That managed to slam dunk a bunch of cliches while pacing perfectly.

Where did we go wrong?

I laughed out loud

 

[Short_Circut]

even the pickup delinquents understood a fellow bro tryna impress his girl

 

[Forsaken6]

Nice move man!

So he bought her an accessory to go with his confession? I think Kita might be going too fast, but that's just my personal opinion. But I'm relieved he's no sleazy fuckboy.

Kana saying that Risa wanted to hear Kita protect her by pretending he's her boyfriend seems a little counterintuitive since he's technically being honest, but she did explain why: some girls want to hear they might be special to the guy they're on a date with; but on the other hand there's also the possibility she'll think he's being creepy and assuming so I don't think Takaya is completely wrong for thinking that way.

Anyway, Takaya manages to actually apply the lesson he learned AND combine it with his own brutal honesty. He didn't have to lie and pretend he's her boyfriend, but he still got the message across being honest with just the right phrasing. And now they're handholding. This manga just continues to teach some little lessons on dating for the clueless. Surprisingly those pickup dudes weren't complete assholes after all.

This manga is such a 90s vibe it hurts lmao. The character designs had me thinking this before (especially the MC's delinquent friend) but this chapter really took it to another level.
