Aitsu no Kanojo - Ch. 32 - Someone He Likes...

[subwayanyway]

My brother in christ, if you think she has no baggage, you haven't been reading the manga. She's going to have some serious emotional issues, just watch.

Yes, more of that sweet sweet chaos.

He already has someone he likes? I'll just make him fall for me!

You call that straight-forward? I mean her intentions are clear, sure, but the most straight-forward thing she can do here is confess to him/ask him out directly, at the very least express she has an interest in him. Even if she gets rejected, she has a lot more respect from me out of all the heroines so far as she's done what none of the others could and not backing off, playing it like a joke or ruse. But no, there are very few women who are actually like that, and this is not that kind of manga, unfortunately.

Can all 4 of you just become Rikus girlfriend already?!?! Yes Takt as well. Now all 4 of you are happy. There. Problem solved

Thank you as always for the sl!

 

[ItsThatBriGuy]

The best friend is closeted?

Technically.

 

[ItsThatBriGuy]

how has yako existed for 2 chapters and is already more likeable then all of the characters

It's only two chapters. We'll get to her stuff sooner than later, I'm sure. Still won't be as terrible as the other two, though, unless she's a serial killer or something.

which this title would totally do

She all-but directly asked him out (with only the fig leaf of "doing well" in between), which is as straightforward as interaction with a female as Riku has ever had. It's not gonna go smoothly, naturally, but it looks like something positive for ourn eternally gloomy Gus.

 

[Kurshir]

Fair fucking play to the girl.

 

[Insignis]

I'll be very surprised if the first option ends up being true, and the second option, while technically better than everything being dragged out for 300 chapters (though it could still easily happen), it's still not good writing.

if your only way of progressing the plot is introducing random characters that are just gonna be thrown away after they're done progressing the plot with the main characters then there's clearly a problem with your story

I would be in awe, if we basically will now have 2 sycos doing their shit, maybe even a bit "faster", while the new girl does her thing.

We will find out what skeletons Takt/Shizuku have, we will find out what is wrong with Umimi - just like in last few chapters of those 2xx days till graduation timer.

Yet MC will chose the "normal-est" of them harem candidates and choses Yako. Making all the other 3 regret a fuck tone their wishy-washy-ness, undecided-ness or whatever you could call their brain-fuckery causing all thats happening in this story.

That would be wonderful to see, especially if new girl will end up actually being normal to "pull our strings". Thou in such stories one of first girls wins in the end even if they are hated by readers, so we can just wait and see.

I seriously hope Yako will stay to stir the shit up, even if that will be only for fan-service, cause personally I prefer her long hair and med-sized chest vs the other 2, not to mention for now the best personality.

For all we know, that 'date' would be more like the MC treating the girl to free food or something, not out of romantic interest. There are girls who do be like that and think their 'presence and time' is enough of a payment in return for the guy.

 

[EchoGirl]

lol i wish i could've seen like 3+ girls chase after the same guy in school, tho other than thirsting for the 'popular' guy you'd rarely see someone go after an 'average' guy, unless he was really charming, i don't think the male main chara is bad, if a bit of a pushover but nothing amazing tho i'd prolly rather just stay out of someone's relationship if others had their eyes set on them lol

or y'know, if ur just horny just hookup with a random classmate who you'd think would keep their mouth shut about it and use protection

 

[Virtualplayer]

Eh, Yako is a "psych!" head fake for the readers. There's something wrong with her and it will eventually come out. There's no principal cast here that's a normie through and through.

 

[MRpaisan]

Umimi is so confused over her feelings that it's getting ridiculous at this point.

Yako is definitely a great character considering how she is compared to the rest of the cast.

Umimi liked Riku from the beginning, but Again Riku was an immature little man who showed zero interest, and was spineless in pursuing the girl he actually liked. Same can be said of all three of them. Sept Riku is more at fault. Also Takt knew Riku liked what's her name, and still went, and stole her from Riku, but Riku didn't pursue her so fair game. Whatever their reasons for doing what they're doing doesn't matter. You lose when you lose. Yako is actively pursuing Riku, and Riku needs to grow the hell up, and move on. Take what he can get. He failed to notice two different girls liked him. So man up, and get some already.

 

[MRpaisan]

I really do feel bad for the MC. He's just a good guy who is heart-broken and all these girls are just making his life more difficult. He needs peace.

He did this to himself, and I would say the same for any one who failed to notice the feelings of others. Awareness is important. mc was living in his own bubble thinking no one liked Shizuka but him, and failed to pursue her in any way shape or form. Same with Umimi he pushed her towards Takt again failing to notice the reason she bothered to hang with him in the first place.
Umimi wasn't interested in Takt at all, but Again Riku kept going on and on about him. Making Takt seem more popular, and a great guy when he wasn't. Also Umimi didn't plan to date Takt at first till Takt asked her out later dumping her a month later. Of course Riku being Riku living in his own bubble failed to even notice everything going on with his friends, and everything else going on around him. Failure to notice the world around is no excuse.

 

[MRpaisan]

Yako has no breaks, based.

GO UMIMI, VIOLATE HIM AGAIN FOR THE SAKE OF MY ENTERTAINMENT

Idiot will push her away making excuses. Frankly Riku's just an immature little child while everyone else is grown up, and mature. Riku will run away like he has always done with his sad little pecker unable to get it up. Hard to get it up when ur balls haven't dropped yet.

You really have it out for Riku lol. You keep saying Riku is the only immature person here but the others are as immature if not more so. Takt was envious of Riku the entire time and did everything he could to beat him in any and everything. Shizuku, while currently in a relationship, is cheating on Takt and is brazenly taking shots at Riku constantly. Umimi is using her trauma of men to now be closer to Riku than ever before so that nobody else can - also using the fact that he likes someone else to prevent new girl from making moves on him.

Riku since the beginning had tried to take the high road and live as normally as possible after it was revealed that Takt and Shizuku were together. If anything, he has nearly been brought down to their levels of immaturity throughout the series.

Umimi should never even be counted as a heroine/girlfriend candidate as she is literally like a little sister to Riku. That's it. She honestly never had a chance to begin with. The only one he technically lost out on is Shizuku but even then, the game's not over and it won't be until the countdown ends.

This series isn't about Riku getting some but finding out the mystery to this freaking twisted mess of their relationship.

I hear ya. I do feel slightly bad for Riku, but when you fail again, and again to notice important things about the people around you. It becomes your fault bad things start happening. So beyond the initial ntr crap. It's his fault. it happened in the first place.
Shizuku liked Riku, and likely Was waiting for Riku to confess, but Riku living in his own world failed to take the initiative. woman actually do like, and respect guys who take the initiative.
At first it was likely to push Riku to confess to her, but Riku failed to even do that.
I have a feeling Takt convinced her that Riku didn't like her, and to date him instead. Hence why she refused to look at Riku when Takt told him they started dating. Frankly I've seen enough personalities from anime, to manga to the real world to say yes Riku's very immature.
and that if he had confessed to Shizuku this story would be different of course, but like other ntr stories, and characters with immature personalities. They fail to notice what's going on around them till it's to late. In the end Riku's just average with no actual qualities to separate him from being interesting. Umimi liked Riku, but found Riku timid, and Immature in his view of Takt. The fact Riku only talked about Takt, and nothing else makes Riku dull, and boring.
Of course having platonic relationships is ok in most times, but Failing to pursue someone you like just because is the sign of a weak personality. Riku is mentally weak. I could say the same with Umimi, but again Riku pushed her toward Takt. I could go on, and on, but I will not. This's long enough as it's.

You keep attacking his character when literally nobody in series does. In fact, they do the opposite - they actually like him for who he is. It's crazy how he now has 3 girls going after him when he is apparently such a worthless pitiful person.

Hahaha of course they like him. He's a classic idiot with ok one defining trait the good guy kind personality trait. Hence why he's still friends with Takt, and why he's in this situation in the first place. Being nice is ok, but being a nice oblivious guy put him in this situation in the first place.

 

[illaGorilla]

Umimi's thought process at the end there was probably the same one shizuku went through earlier in the series. 🤔

NGL I would need you to point chapters/pages where all that bad stuff Riku did is, cause either its hidden between the lines and I fail at spoting it, or something else.

Like most of the stuff around Shizuku I don't remember happening. The gay-talks about awesomnes of Takt that pushed Umimi away - that I remember, but I am not sure if he did it intentionally cause couln't just say that he isn't interested, or failed to see her interest in him cause she wasn't open about it and was just himself talking about his friends and did it uncounciously.

Takt has something towards MC, either jealosy/hate/gay-love, and with Shizuku unable to be honest and/or MC failng to respond to her, or maybe telling her that he wants to stay friends for now, created the situation where Takt probably forced her into relationship to spite MC or to "find a different love". Him talking about "looking for love replacements" with Umimi when she asked about their short relationship could either be about Shizuku (which he "stole" later) or MC (and he started dating Shizu to stop her from going after MC and maybe somehow get into MCs pants afterwards?).

Like in my eyes, the 4 of them are at fault for all the shit thats happening, but MC is the least offending one among them.
