Baka Ni Kokuhaku - Ch. 8.2

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishin' on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky

very you.

Indeed, Hayami.


A quirky gesture, but a heartfelt and lovely one, all the same.

The pacing of this one feels pretty good. Ayumu's got her heart and mind set, and Hayami's still sorta kinda humoring her and finding it odd, if seemingly more endearing each instance. But the slow shift is there, in the little moments and expressions and pauses whenever she beholds Ayumu's efforts and words and intent.

I do sorta expect Hayami to "awaken" to the concept of romantic attraction; perhaps her history with running being attached to memories of her mother made her someone single-minded, and she just....never gave time or attention to pursuing romance, and thus it never came up for her (and her CHF Asuka relegated her own feelings to the wayside like she did, as a result).
And perhaps it's Ayumu, as forthright as she is, who obliviously declared her intent where everyone else was "mindful enough" to not make the effort, and thus the paradigm is now shifting for Hayami, bit by bit.
I don't know if that's what the author is going for - that everyone before just "assumed" and Ayumu's just too "moron"-coded to do the same and thus she "wins".

But one thing's for sure - and that, is that it is a delight and a treat to have this story.

So thank you for the TL work, as always.

I don't know how she managed to text with dead phone, but this is really nice.
Despite not knowing what other people normally do, it feels much more special to see someone cheer you in their own way.

I like this panel. It looks like they are looking at each other and holding hands

She says she has a powerbank in the same panel of the dead phone

Still praying for Asuka 🙏
I don't want another title with school girls to have a suffering childhood friend

 

[rudezki]

Well that's romantic as fuck. I guess she's not as stupid as we thought.

 

[rkbrillantes]

I would've fallen right then and there. LOL. That was so romantic and thoughtful. Holyhecc. I am rooting for this dumbass so much it hurts. xD

Can't wait how this develops. Thanks for the chapter!

 

[galaxia9]

That really is a beautiful gesture and one that's very uniquely hers, no generic stuff form this wonderful moron.

 

[kojiro481]

This is pretty darn sweet and romantic of Ayumu if you ask me :O Her natural rizz is peculiar at best, but she definitely has it.

 

[gimme_yuri_plz]

It seems the kind that they will only hook up in the last chapter. I hope I'm wrong

 

[Manko-sensei]

Nice reference but There's Is no Love Wishing Upon a Star. Meaning Ayumu should take direct action and impress Hayami with her own strength!

 

[deathpigeon]

That's such rizz.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[pfeanrits]

That doofus is never going to get laid.
