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

Somehow... In this chapter her mOOm looks like teenager (especially when she with lil sis caught nanami at the bathroom's door)


Not complaining tho

 

[choeka28]

sorry but, is her mom blind?

Sadly still not mature enough, considering how they are going all "no handholding until marriage" over it, and the dad is even worse actually emitting some kind of aura any time he thinks they might be having a healthy relationship.

Is handholding not pg where you are? Are you in that town in footloose? You poor thing.

handholding being lood is a hilarious meme in the anime and manga subcultures, originating from how unprotected handholding causes pregnancy. It is why you often see images of people holding hands, with the hands blurred out. In works where the characters are actually having sex this meme is extra prevalent, in large part because it is even more funny that way ("having sex is something you can do anytime, holding hands is for when you want a baby!"), but also because when characters start holding hands it is usually done by mangakas to signify that they are actually in love and entering a relationship.

What's footloose?

footloose

that google tells me nothing, all I find is a film

Her daydreams about their future is so damn cute. Especially that cuddling at night part. She's so innocent.

I laughed so hard at the part when both her mom and her sister were waiting to ambush her outside the bath to tease her about her next date.

Nanami is blessed with amazing parents. Tomoko is a good mother, both kind and wise sensing her daughter's worry, telling her she'll always be on her side, and listening to her patiently to come clean with the truth. This was a sweet and wholesome mother-daughter talk with proper communication (a highly coveted rare resource in romcoms), and mom had the mature and believable take.

Yeah, just because the beginning of a relationship was fake, does not mean it has to stay fake all the way. The biggest conflict is in Nanami's fear of coming clean to Youshin thinking he doesn't know, but he does. Nanami must confess at that time and tell him her feelings have become real.

Correct it is a film, about a town where people are not allowed to dance.

I can basically guarantee her big reveal will go horribly wrong. She's supposed to do it on their one-month anniversary. He'll already be nervous that day because he'll be expecting the possibility of a reveal and breakup after the one-month punishment game duration. She'll be nervous because of her big planned reveal. He'll notice her nervousness, feel like he knows the reason why, and end things first, either to spare himself the pain of being broken up with, because he's angry about having though they had feelings for each other, or to spare her the difficulty of having to initiate the breakup because he knows she's bad with boys. That last one is very likely to be a factor.
A twist on this would be that it happens during the reveal. She'll say "it was for a punishment game" and before she can say "but I love you for real", he'll end things somehow. Will probably involve a misunderstanding.

The Double-down theory: Baron-san is Nanami's mom. It's a 2-for-1 on the omegahelpful side characters!

 

[thycondrius]

Top tier mom.

Sent the succubus sister to bed with just 1 word.

 

[senjoh]

1 month anniversary? mom what are you gen z? 😭

 

[Bonzalez]

What I am afraid of is that the drama might happen because instead of getting across the "I fell in love with you despite only asking you out because of a punishment" he only hears the "I asked you out because of a punishment game" and he then just assumes this is her breaking up with him, since the month is over, and doesn't let her finish.

The fact that the mom told her to do it on their one month anniversary makes me believe this even more, since MC is obviously already going to have it in the back of his mind, that it might happen. What he probably isn't expecting is her coming clean and still wanting to date him on the one month mark, because why come clean when it's working out.

This doesn't feel like one of those dumbass misunderstanding stories so I hope it doesn't play out like that
