Adachi to Shimamura - Vol. 6 Ch. 39.2 - Complications of Love 1 Part 2

[Beinmote9z]

aight, i had to pause after that confession,

Holy was not expecting that so suddenly

 

[Beinmote9z]

This is so annoying. One is overly clinging and desperate, the other is a sociopath that doesn't really care about anything or has any reactions. How does this have 8.5+?

I'm surprised you've made it this far into the manga, and still don't understand it
(well it's okay tho)

 

[Sionnach91]

Its funny how people complain about this series because its not like all the other GL series🤦🏼‍♂️

Being different doesn't make it good. A spoon with a hole in it is different, but useless.
This series is like watching a clown trying to get a reaction out of a brick wall, it just makes it seem sad.

 

[Sionnach91]

Because it's not as disgustingly melodramatic as Citrus I guess. This is one of the series that commit the rare sin of being boring for me, like I keep reading to see where the payoff is, but I can never see it ever happening.

Citrus is the other end of the spectrum, it's like the Shoujo version of a Yuri manga. Citrus wasn't very good because of that, but at least it wasn't boring-disguised-as-cute like this one is.

I really like this exactly for this "weirdness" or however you want to call this, it feels refreshing comparing this to the massive amount of romcoms that are running.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[exo_connor]

Thanks for the translation! Being able to relive this story in manga format has been really fun, we're getting closer and closer to peak yuri fiction

Some of yall need more autism in your life. 10/10

We are at the start of Volume 6 after this chapter.

No, we are deep into Volume 6 already. Roughly 3/4 in.

 

[JadedJade]

Adachi accidentally confessing finally letting that secret start to get out. How far into the light novels are we now?

this is either vol 5 or vol 6 i dont remember entirely (edit: didnt realize other people already answered but yeah vol 6. been awhile since i read the LNs so i wasnt entirely sure)

 

[metal4orce]

Yuri set to the maximum difficulty

 

[TanyaTheEvil]

Omg, that was an awesome chapter. I love the part where she says, "Don't look back, even though I want to"... Also love that she finally relalizes the Adachi loves her, but she still doesn't know which kind of love. I hope their feelings come out soon

 

[Beinmote9z]

i

I'm surprised you've made it this far into the manga, and still don't understand it
(well it's okay tho)

I've also realized that people really don't like these kinda easy going romance,
they kinda expect more problems and drama in it (which i do understand)

It baffles me how people still manage to mischaracterize Adachi and Shimamura this far into the story (thinking about the people on page 1), it's like the whole introspection thing (that's all over the manga) flew over their heads, so I want to offer my own take as I love the books, being my favorite among all I've read.
There's honestly not even much to explain, both of them are broken people:

• Adachi became the way she is because of her parents. She didn't get the love she needed during her childhood, as she became closed off and thus socially awkward she never managed to get friends who'd support her. No one ever showed interest in her, not even her own parents. Her only purpose in life was her job and school, then one day everything changed because of Shimamura, the first person to make her feel things she hasn't felt before, to add some color to her life, her catalyst to finally change. If you want spoilers about the whole parent ordeal, it's kinda emotional:
  • Their marriage was not out of love, Adachi wasn't born out of love either, the zoo incident also happened because of this.
  • Her mom really regrets everything and has Adachi promise that she will not turn out like her mom.
  • Her mom wants to mend their broken relationship. Signified by her gifting an elephant plushie to Adachi through Mashiro (the exact plushie she wanted back then and she realized it too), she placed it in their bedroom alongside their other plushies which shows that she shares this desire too.
• Shimamura's case is different, on the surface she's the complete opposite of Adachi. She has a great family that has always treated her with love, she has always had friends, a person with purpose as she has a lot to live for. But if you look under the surface what you find is a broken person who, in reality, lacks purpose in life, who simply goes with the flow as it's the easiest way to live, who simply does not care what happens and hasn't cared for a very long while, and when she tried to care it didn't last. Then one day she meets Adachi who essentially barges into her mundane and grey life, giving color to it, slowly changing her, making her find purpose in caring.

A therapist is not the answer to everything and may not even work when your issues are so deeply rooted in you, sometimes you need to find that one person who gives you purpose and finally heals your broken soul. This is exactly the whole point about this story, always has been. Just 2 broken girls finding purpose in each other.
[/RANT]
And if you want even more spoilers related to both girls, they are destined lovers, meant to find and be with each other even in death.

 

[Raknasuu]

Okay but there were some banger lines in this chapter

All the monologue on Adachi's head while leaving on the bike... Damn

 

[Iamnotroll]

I know she asked to get in the bath together and screamed “I love you” three times while hugging Shimamura but how can we tell if Adachi’s actually into her?

Thank you. People keep underrating my beloved series, I really want to explain everything but I just don't have enough vocabulary.

We are at the start of Volume 6 after this chapter.

Oooh, if I remember spoilers right They kiss in volume 7 right? Forget if they finally start their relationship there or if that's later

 

[Beinmote9z]

Relax guys, this is a slow burn story. It's watching the thoughts of two people and their development over the time. Who has read LN must knew where it goes, but if you don't then it can test your patience when you're not used to this kind of writing. Personally just observing those two and understand their worldview differences already a fun task to do

Finally, someone gets it

 

[roguezilla]

Oooh, if I remember spoilers right They kiss in volume 7 right? Forget if they finally start their relationship there or if that's later

They kiss in chapter 2 or 3 of SS, which comes after volume 11. And their relationship starts at the end of volume 6, in the arc after this one.
