Adachi to Shimamura - Vol. 7 Ch. 40.3 - A Moment of Peace Is All I Need 3

[dazedaze1111]

Shima makes me uneasy with the way she treat their relationship
but now, I think she is just really a dense

So trueee, and also that panels when Tarumi called, and Shimamura thought "oh come on" after peeping Adachi face

Idk why but that specific line "OH COME ON" give off such perfect description about their unique dynamic

Shima KNOWS knows Adachi, but more important is that, she likes to play with it like a game.
She doesn't want to hear Adachi crumbling through the phone, but she would love to see it face to face.
She enjoys the fact that Adachi is a jealous person, but she doesn't like to see Adachi being like it in front of her.

It describes Shima's unique personality perfectly, and also shows that she subconsciously cares about Adachi more than she ever thought.

From a normal POV their relationship ain't the healthiest but Adachi is the only one that can provide Shimamura with that spice on life that she was lacking (she always felt she was weird for being so apathetic about the world around her) and Shimamura is the only one with the required nerves of steel to put up with Adachi, so they perfectly complement each other in their own fucked up way. Like neutralizing an acid with a base.

I love the story of these two figuring things out. Thanks for the translation

Uhhh no Shima, being close to one side and throwing away the other is called being a psychopath. ADACHI THATS A MOUNTAIN OF RED FLAGS YOU'RE WALTZING INTO

I don’t think Shima is a red flag

I have to agree this relationship is probably not the most ideal but… it is acceptable

I hope the manga version is a little different from the novel. I want to see Tarumi meet Adachi directly, whose status is officially Shimamura's girlfriend. I'm quite curious about the reactions of both of them (Adachi and Tarumi) as well as Shimamura. Hopefully there will be no bloodshed

unrelated to the current chapter, have they discussed adapting the extras like SS and 99.9 before?

Unlikely. Although considering how important Yashiro is in 99.9 it would be a fun way to troll manga only readers.

It's been a long time since I've come back to this, has shimamura always seemed this apathetic? Emotionless? (Not sure of the right word to use) When something happens between them it seems to her as just a thing that partners do, I'm not seeing any real reaction.
Am I overthinking this or are other people getting the same feeling

That's...that's pretty much her entire character. This past few chapters are the first time we've actually seen her express anything other than that.

However, the "if you care about someone you have to distance yourself from others" is one of those toxic monogamy things that always seems so alien to me.

For anyone wondering about their progress, it’s smooth sailing—no unnecessary drama, just the two of them reflecting on their relationship. I do feel bad for Taruma, but hey, it is what it is.





P.S. If you’re impatient, just read the novel—it’s amazing!
