Why would even ask someone out of the blue if they can do a sit-up ? That's such a random question. Although the manga shorten the LN chapter, i'm glad they didn't include the pervert guy watching the girls at the pool, was very creepy.

@Lilliwyt I guess Shimura just wanted to someone to vent and understand, but because Adachi is so cool well... there's no point hoho.

Well, at least we know now who can do the princess carry!

I didn't knew that about the novel, seeing the atmosphere of the manga so far, I wonder why the author would do that.

@Lilliwyt That last part is the kind of thing that I fear about reading in the LN. As much as I love this story, I guess that I just have a way too big of a prejudice against light novels for those kind of tropes and weird fetishistic things.

So with that said, would you recommend that I actually read it? In fact I think that I've asked you this before but knowing these kind of things puts me off on actually getting started with it.

It seems that sit-ups are still something people in Japan are encouraged to do, though most exercise experts now discourage sitting-up in favor of stomach crunches.

@Lilliwyt—

The question is a bit out-of-the-blue, but the sit-up could be seen as representative for exercise more generally, and the question was asked by one girl and of another who are at an age in which their physical fitness is institutionally tested. So it's somewhat as if one girl asked the other if she could make any sense out of the quadratic equation.

Further, if these two were in the same room, questions out-of-the-blue would seem less odd and, in an age of mobile telephony, telephonic conversation becomes increasingly like conversation held in the same room.

By the way, I find it a bit unbelievable that the girl could not do even one sit-up, and yet could play table tennis.

@Epsilon04. Different person here, but if you don't mind me butting in- that one bit in the LN was definitely weird and off putting (and who knows if there are more moments like it, considering we are only at the first chapter of the second volume and there already 8 volumes) but that bit aside, I do think is worth a shot to at least check out the first chapter (and maybe the Adachi Question one) to check if you like it's narration style. it gives a slighly different feel than this manga, both because of the different format and the tone being a bit different, but is just as good in my opinion.

and well, considering this manga unfortunately only has 8 chapters left, if you want to keep follwing this story it would have to be with either the LN or the new manga, which hopefully can finsih the whole thing, or the anime that we still don't know much about.

Anyway, thanks sneikkimies for the constant AdaShima content!

Shimamura: Started an argument.
Inner Shimamura: "I'm not going to discuss this with you"...

@Zexalfan To be honest, I really want to read it and like it but as I said before, it's mostly a thing of me not having faith in LN in general. But if that is the only weird thing so far, I guess I'll give it a shot since I really like this story and the slow pace it has.

Anyway, thanks for the answer and helping me decide, I appreciate it!

 

[Zexalfan]

@Epsilon04. No problem~ I hope you enjoy it!

and I can understand the lack of faith in a way, while I don't read much LNs I do have the impression that they can get all over the place... the bit that sometimes gets me worried when getting into a "long runner story" is just the usual "liking the first chapters or something but later on the story loses its drive and emotion", hope that is not the case with this one since I am also enjoying it a lot.

I giggle every time Shimamura says something cute or embarrassing and Adachi just keeps blushing. I wonder how long this kind of tension can keep going between them until Shimamura figures it out or Adachi says something.

 

[Lilliwyt]

@MagipanK According to what i heard about the LN

Spoiler

It seem Shimamura reciprocate Adachi's feeling not before Vol.6 of the LN who at this time count 8 volumes and unfortunaly this manga end way before it happen.
