An Introvert's Hookup Hiccups: This Gyaru Is Head Over Heels for Me! - Vol. 3 Ch. 12.5

[Sollertia_]

Mom looks creepy for some reason... maybe it's just me...

 

[AV_AmerigoVespuchi]

you know guys... after reading the novel, I actually like Peach/Momo alot.

Sure she's bitchy with her attitude, but she's actually not like that at all. Just afraid her best friend spiraling down to depression and negativity.

Also... Take a look at Peach/Momo's face. Then look at Saya, Nanami's little sister. Compare the look and attitude.

Peach/Momo is supposed to be a middle schooler

Wait, who's Momo?

Wait, who's Momo?

I believe that Momo is the Japanese term for Peach, so it stands that the character Peach in the Online game is translated as Momo in the original script.

to me it doesn't make sense, Nanami and Youshin are the main couple, if the PoV was a 3rd person or some weird take on something that never develops the character, like the friend group from the game going on a quest, would make more sense, that's how usually these stories/mangas are written. That's why got me confused.

i know every writer can do whatever he wants with his story, i just found weird this "naming scheme"

It reflects chapter numbering of ln, where Nanami's PoV chapters are also marked as X.5
A bit irregular compared to other manga, but makes sense.

It is mainly escapism fantasy after all. The male and female MC are both pure hearted angels that are basically fated to be together. It's unrealistic but it's a cute read in my opinion.

It's not so much that they're "fated"; her friends specifically looked for someone generally pretty mature but with emotional development and interpersonal skills around her level before landing on our guy. It wasn't random or anything. But it's definitely cute.

Oh neat. Someone finally went with "if we actually communicate our feelings and worries things wind up not being too terrible" .
I keep saying that half the tension in manga anymore is people not communicating with each other. Now I can safely say that this one isn't falling into that problem

 

[Crystalball]

man. something about this story just rubs me in all the wrong ways, even despite its high rating. I find the romance and dialogue to honestly be pretty cringe (not a fan of dramatic proclamations like "I'll protect her!" since they feel cheap and honestly fake asf. The underlying drama is probably the only thing that makes me vaguely interested in this all, but otherwise everything just feels like a mishmash of cliches or predictable scenarios with awkward writing. Could just be me not clicking with it, but that's my two cents.

I've seen worse, it's just that the leads are very very flat. They have no edge at all and it compounds with the lack of build up to feel hollow.

Mc knows so there is no problem imo.

Mc knows so there is no problem imo.

Mmm, I think it'll be more of a "You knew? Then was everything we did a joke to you?" sort of situation. She'll have good reason to suspect him, as he did with her.
It'll get cleared up obviously, but I expect at least 1 more "issue" before it's resolved.

 

[MiguelH224]

"Even though he isn't all that strong" sure he isn't as jacked as her dad but wasn't it like a whole point that he is pretty jacked for a teenager or am I misremembering that?🤔

...now you got me thinking, I don't remember either if that was the case or not

 

[MiguelH224]

Mc knows so there is no problem imo.

Exactly what I said, if anything he'll appreciate it more given how she finally comes out with this

Damn its all on genetics bruh

I deadass forgot one of them was the mother, all 3 look like siblings

 

[AV_AmerigoVespuchi]

I believe that Momo is the Japanese term for Peach, so it stands that the character Peach in the Online game is translated as Momo in the original script.

Ahhh, I thought it's her IRL name, which confused me as I haven't seen a Momo in the manga

 

[DatOneGuy]

That's an awesome mom but it would have been sweet if the author kinda milked the moment right before she cried a little better.

 

[StealthAria]

this chapter feels weird as a X.5 (additional content) , there's actual character development in it, it makes sense if it was a 13th

That's apparently not uncommon. Sword Art Online did it, Death Mage does it, No-Guard Wife does it, the list just goes on and on. The whole x.5 and side chapter thing can mean that the chapter doesn't advance the plot in any way, but it can just as often simply mean that the occurrence of the chapter is not directly involving the main character.

We kind of need an alternate way to separate the different types of chapters, so that extended chapter content like this remains separate from things like character synopsis and Pixiv fanbox pages, which should also be separate from "side-story" bonus chapters.

yeah, it's probably that. It just doesn't seem very organic with the declarations of this n' that.
