Baka ni Kokuhaku - Ch. 10.2

[aiyumi86]

I don’t see this route going as poly at all. Doesn’t makes sense in that dynamic relationship.

I don’t see Hina and Asuka getting in relationship no matter how close they are. Hina already shown no love interest in Asuka from what we’ve see in the previous chapters and she isn’t the type to be in a petty relationship cause their close friends.
But Hina is starting to be conscious of Ayumu and seems like she’s catching feelings but still unsure what those feelings are. It still seems like it’s developing. Meaning even if she rejects Ayumu it’s not the end she just doesn’t understand the feeling of love.

I think there’s still more progress before the final decision just like the previous series.

I'm pretty sure the childhood friend loses, like always.

the people here saying that it's not gonna be poly ..
do you guys understand this story so far?
do you guys understand how love works?
you seem to be even more clueless than the protagonist herself.

This REALLY has a "throuple ending" vibe, 'cause three of them have REALLY good chemistry together
Now I REALLY hope and pray it's going to go that way 🙏

At the very least I hope that Asuka won't end up in shambles by the end, 'cause I'm REALLY tired of the "best friend/childhood friend loses just because" trope 🚬

Same. Looks like the Asuka arc is incoming though. Time for some Asuka shill now that Ayumu has had her time. Then we will get the Asuka and Ayumu arc. Then we will get the happy poly ending. I will cope it into existence

How? What vibe?
Asuka literally gets put off every time she sees Ayumu with Hina. Not to mention to Hina Asuka is more like a sister, a bbf, thats all. Asuka didnt lost, she wasted years too scared to try, hiding behind the comfort of friendship.
Either way, the story is about the moron confession, Asuka is just an accessory to that.

What? So most of us are clueless about love... what a rude thing to say lol

The story so far its been 92% about Ayumu putting a lot of effort and making her feelings very clear and Hina admiring her and slowly falling in love, thus her current reactions to Ayumu advances. In a parallel reality theres Asuka, who wasted years hiding behind the comfort of friendship, too scared to try anything and now became desperate. The author never gave a single hint of Hina seeing Asuka as nothing more then a bbf or sister. The story is literally about Ayumu from space and Hina the track junkie. Asuka the music idol has no place in between.
Not to mention that theres absolutely nothing between Ayumu and Asuka and if u disregard Ayumu being too naive all thats left is Asuka treating her like a nuisance from the start.
So please, enlighten me with all the wisdom of love to how this has any hint of poly?

Anyway, all the poly daydream aside...
Imho, Hina getting all flustered, tho new to her, doesnt feel like it would be enough already for things to work out.
Asuka move could make things awkward and complicated which could delay Hina confession.

If u consider the latest work from the author this story could get dragged a lot still, but it is close in chapters from Kimi ni tsumugu. So who knows.

Rather than a confession, I hope people will come and see how cool Ayumu's dome is. A loner doing their best only to go unnoticed never sits right with me.

It really is pretty darn cool, she did a great job with it. I hope she'll get a lot of trafic too, she deserves it

I reallyyyyy don't understand how people are catching poly fever here and seemingly not just as copium, from what I see the only poly possible here is shallow, forced one, in attempt to hurt no one, that will in fact hurt everyone, Are Hina and Asuka good friends? Duh, they are besties, can Asuka and Ayumu be good friends? There is a good ground for that, I agree. But friendship isn't love, your love can be your best friend, but your best friend cannot just be turned into your love by will, the world be much much easier to live in for everyone, if we could always just pick and choose who our love is, but only heart is really doing it. Ayumu does not Love react to Asuka, Asuka does not Love react to Ayumu, and Hina started showing blushes and love reacts to Ayumu and her actions, while Asuka makes her feel nothing romantic in comparison, which was directly tested by Asuka and shown to us, that is not a ground for poly, it is pure love triangle, for poly needs all dots connected by same love arrows.

And all that aside, hope Ayumu's good work is actually appreciated on the festival

Eh, personally she feels more Demi with compounding commitment issues than Ace or anything.

As for all the polycule route talk, while I wouldn't be opposed to it, I just don't think the story feels like it's leaning that direction at all. There's nothing really building up to it other than Asuka's own feelings, which only stands out more when you see how almost all of the promotional art is Hina and Ayumu being cute together without Asuka there at all. If all three getting together was the endgame presumably at least one of those would have had her as well.

If anything, I think the more likely route it's building towards is Ayumu and Asuka working together to help Hina get over her defeatism and whatever had caused it in the first place once Asuka finally sees that it's there. Though again, I wouldn't mind being wrong.

Guitar girl: "I have something to confess to you... after seeing astronomy girl try so hard to seduce track&field girl and yet they still haven't kissed... I've decided to move on and date somebody else."

Thanks for the chapter :D

This manga is very feel-good, and every time I read it, I cannot stop smiling or making probably embarrassing yuri-adoring noises. This was especially true for this chapter. Goodness, that conversation under the planetarium was so sweet.

I wonder if Hayami feels some guilt over being this special to Ayumu while also understanding that she currently does not understand love enough to reciprocate. She has some feelings for Ayumu by this point, but she likely feels conflicted because Ayumu is not incredibly special to her: she does not think about Ayumu non-stop. Hayami might be wondering: "does this count as love?"

I suppose Asuka's impending expected confession will lead Hayami to consider what love is.

Ayumu gets upgraded from spacegirl to domegirl!
