Aitsu no Kanojo - Ch. 49 - Who do you want to hang out with?

[MesaOracle]

Still hoping for that school days ending for this one.

Here are some comments from the Japanese audience on the Sunday Webry app:

読むマンガ間違えた? っていうくらい平和なラブコメ。これが長く続くことを願う。

---

It's such a peaceful rom-com that it makes you wonder, "Am I reading the right manga?" I hope this lasts a long time.

---

この漫画のヒロインはヤコとうみみだ!!
他にヒロインなんていなかった。(洗脳)

---

The heroines of this manga are Yako and Umimi!!
There were no other heroines. (brainwashing)

---

リクって雫絡んでなかったら普通に爽やかでかっこいいんだよな...W

---

Riku would actually be pretty cool and refreshing if he weren't involved with Shizuku... lol

---

雫がやってたスキンシップはやりすぎって思ってたけど、うみみやヤコのスキンシップは可愛いって思うのは何故だろう?

---

I thought Shizuku's physical affection was over the top, but I find Umimi's and Yako's affection cute. I wonder why that is?

---

なんか、リクって雫に攻められてる時よりも後輩のヤコとかうみみと接している時の方がカッコよく見えた。

---

Somehow, Riku looks cooler when he's interacting with his juniors, Yako and Umimi, than when Shizuku is coming on to him.

---

これで良い、こういうのを待ってたんだよ!!

---

This is perfect! This is exactly what I've been waiting for!

---

健全なラブコメが展開されている...だと...?

---

A wholesome rom-com is unfolding... really...?

---

雫いない方がストーリースムーズに進んでる...

---

The story flows more smoothly without Shizuku...

---

謎を引っ張りすぎてメインヒロインが読者に棄てられてて草。謎を隠すばかりでやらずぼったくりの繰り返し。退場して清々したってのは大方の正 直な感想だろ。作者と担当が不誠実で話の転がし方もダメ過ぎ。次回作は原作つけてくれ

---

They're dragging the mystery on for too long, and the main heroine is being abandoned by the readers, which is hilarious. They keep hiding the mystery without delivering, just repeating a scam. It's probably a common honest opinion that people felt relieved when she exited. The author and the editor are being dishonest, and the way the story is being unfolded is just too bad. For the next work, please include an original story.

Indeed.

批判したいのは分かるけどもうちょい言葉優しくしようや
俺自身SNSとかで叩かれた経験あるから分かるけど、マジでキツい言葉が目に入ると入れ墨みたいに脳裏にこびりつくんよ

---

I understand you want to criticize, but let’s use a little kinder language.
I’ve experienced getting bashed on social media too, so I get it; harsh words really stick in your mind like a tattoo.

---

コメントかなり終わってるな

---

The comments are pretty much a mess.

---

友達にデートの権利を譲ろうとするヤコも雫がいなくなって落ち込んでるリクを元気にさせようとするうみみも優しすぎない? これで、メインヒロ インがこの2人以外の女の子ってマジ?

---

Isn’t Yako trying to give up her date rights and Umimi trying to cheer up Riku, who’s feeling down without Shizuku, just way too nice? Is it really true that the main heroine is a girl other than these two?

---

ここまでマジでやこ選ばない理由がないってくらい非の打ち所がないキャラなんだけど リクに感情移入出来なさすぎる

---

There’s honestly no reason not to choose Yako at this point; she’s such a flawless character. But I just can’t empathize with Riku at all.

---

リクに献身的な後輩2人が可愛すぎる。文化祭編は変な騒動もなくリク、うみみ、ヤコの3人の平和なラブコメでお願いします。

---

The two devoted juniors to Riku are just too cute. For the cultural festival arc, I hope we get a peaceful rom-com with Riku, Umimi, and Yako, without any weird drama.

---

最初から雫要らねえんだよ。これでええわ

---

From the beginning, we didn’t need Shizuku. This is just fine.

---

やはり雫が出ないまま、うみみちゃんとやこちゃんでヒロイン争いした方がいいんじゃ…..。
何のストレスもないし、ふたりともいい子だし....。

---

Isn’t it better if Shizuku doesn’t show up and we have a heroine rivalry between Umimi-chan and Yako-chan instead...?
There’s no stress at all, and both of them are great girls...

---

なんやろ、普通にナコとうみみをヒロインにした恋愛漫画として描いて
読切の時の続きで寝取られ好きのための漫画として雫がヒロインの作品を作っていったら良かったんじゃ、、
まぁともあれ俺は最後まで応援して読むけど
個人的にはいつか読切の時の続きでガチ寝取り、
逆に本編での雫との最後まで致すエチシーン、その他ヒロインとのエチシーンのある漫画を描いて欲しいな
結ばれなかったキャラとのエチはifと言うことで

---

I don’t know, but it would have been better to just portray Yako and Umimi as the heroines in a straightforward romance manga.
They could have created a separate work with Shizuku as the heroine, focusing on the continuation from the one-shot for those who like NTR. Anyway, I’ll keep supporting it and reading until the end, but personally,
I hope they eventually draw a manga that features serious NTR based on the one-shot’s continuation,
as well as intimate scenes with Shizuku until the very end, and other intimate scenes with the other heroines.
The intimacy with characters who don’t end up together could be treated as an "if" scenario.

---

雫がいなくなったことで、本当にヤコ、うみみ、リクの3人で平和なラブコメが始まった。

---

With Shizuku gone, a peaceful rom-com featuring Yako, Umimi, and Riku has truly begun.

---

最初からこれでいくべ

---

This is how it should have been from the start!

---

Shizuku's current situation:

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[Tony_Mushah]

Isn't it amazing how much better this manga is without Shizuku?

Yeah.
But i still miss Shizuku 😢

 

[ItsThatBriGuy]

Kouhais be horny.

But surprisingly in a much more wholesome way than Shizuku ever was.

Shizuku's current situation:

Thanks for the chapter!

the Japanese audience is releived because "Shizuku left the game".
I am sad by that, I was on the 0.1% of people who actually enjoyed Shizuku.

Even if the Shizuku position is down right now,
I kinda like at how the Japanese audience has 'pretty much' the same opinion as us here.

I think this is the solution, author has been trying to do mystery, rom com, and Netori all at the same time and it diminishes all of them.

Unironically, redo the hotel scene where he actually crosses the line and just escalate from there and I think you salvage the story.

 

[Cirrius]

Yes

 

[darkeden112]

The author is forgetting about the main plot. Maybe that's a good thing but it's really frustrating to not have any conclusion about the matter.

 

[AmnaelFamnael]

I love Shizuku while she's only interacting with the mc, I start hating her because of the whole mystery that is going nowhere.

Even still Yako is best girl and too good for this wimp of an mc

 

[MiguelH224]

Bro ....why is Umimi retarded?? This chapter alone had me cringing so hard due to her stupidity


HOW DO YOU FORGET YOU'RE BAD WITH MEN????


Assuming it's a trauma, you just don't forget something like that

 

[LadyTyche]

Glad that the Japanese audience is letting the author have it for their muddy plot.

Right now it really feels like the author just wants to set up scenes in the future where the juniors cry.

 

[rozert]

I need Yako in my life T-T
Best girl and character in whole manga... GIVE THE WIN FOR YAKO GOOD DAMN IT

 

[koga88]

This series is so much better with just Yako and Umimi. This could be a solid rom-com with just these two going after the MC and letting Shizuku stay gone forever.

 

[Cogito3]

I love Shizuku while she's only interacting with the mc, I start hating her because of the whole mystery that is going nowhere.

Yeah, I agree. I quite liked the beginning of this manga because I enjoyed the prospect of Riku steadily getting "corrupted" into sleeping with his best friend's girlfriend, and I also like sympathetically-portrayed yet highly flawed characters like Shizuku. The problem is, after almost 50 (!) chapters, Riku and Shizuku's relationship essentially hasn't progressed at all since Chapter 1. Hard to get invested in a dramatic character drama when it's just been spinning its wheels without progress for dozens of chapters now. Little wonder readers prefer the more lighthearted romcom of Umimi and Yako since that genre is a lot better suited for the "nothing really happens" plot this manga has lol.

I assume what happened is that the manga got popular so the author needed to come up with a way to make it longer than initially planned, and introducing new characters like Umimi and Yako while drip-feeding hints about the central mystery is certainly the easiest way to do that, but the end result is an annoying and unsatisfying manga that wasted the potential it had in the beginning.

Oh well at least the girls are hot

 

[JoyBoy316]

He got these 2 that genuinely care about him yet is completely fixated on the other selfish bitch that doesn't care about how her actions could ruin his friendship. I absolutely hate these type of MCs.

 

[Virtualplayer]

Well, honestly, this is like that "She-Prince" manga where the plot is not the purported MC/FMC but actually their effed up friends/couple.

In this case, Yako and Umimi are so likeable that I don't mind so much that the Mangaka is wandering like they're using Siri for GPS navigation and haven't received OS updates in years.

What I really fear is the Mangaka will finally come out of their Heroin smoking haze and realize the ship is badly off-course, and attempt to right it with more meaningless, pointless drama plots that do nothing to move the arc forward.

 

[rajoku]

Umimi has more personality than other two

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

Only Yako is not in the original plan IMO. Umimi is introduced early in the story and is connected with both Riku and Takt.

 

[Wonder42]

Good news: author said on X that we are now halfway through the manga. (https://x.com/nikumarusuisann/status/1849392987337625736)
Bad news: we still have another half to go.
