Boku no Ikezu na Konyakusha - Ch. 19.1

Thank you for the translation!

She really just said "YERRR" like that or was it a TL mistake or was it like the characters dialect?????

It's more of a "funny haha" localization if anything. She really just says "Yes" but that's too boring and dry. But, it would be funny if Mary was canonically from Jersey

From what I understand, Miyuki is oblivious about the misunderstanding unless Sorata tells her about it.

Spoiler

but they do have some sort of falling out based on the current raws.

She complimented his outfit and he immediately got depressed and went to change. Even if she didn't hear him that time, it's not the first time she's said something innocuous to positive and had him react negatively. She even questions if he's misunderstanding her because she wears the ring around her neck. But she never shows him the ring.

Now I still see a lot of the trouble as almost entirely shithead brothers fault. But Miyuki has been very dishonest about her feelings. And Sora is still pretty dense for assuming everything she says to him is negative even though she's typically pretty nice to him through her actions and spends a lot of time with him.

I'd argue Sora is less 'dense' than he is 'conditioned'. In large part due to the brother's meddling when Sora and Miyuki were children, telling Sora that "ABC thing" actually meant "XYZ thing" when said by someone from Kyoto--specifically to turn positive or neutral statements into negative or derogatory ones.
From there....MIyuki has the misfortune of forever having been rather cut off from her emotions. The reason she gets along with Sora as well as she historically has, is because he cut through all of that, and continued pursuing her and trying to talk to her summer after summer.

But even now--even as Miyuki has fallen hard for Sora, she remains unaware of her brother's meddling from before, and she's rather obtuse in how she handles herself around Sora in general. As you said - she could clear up a lot just by showing his ring on her necklace. If nothing else, it'd put to rest all the rumors and badmouthing that goes on about Sora at their school. But she ...just doesn't.

Sora's honestly held himself together rather well all this time, given his constant misinterpretation of Miyuki's words, and the perpetual low-grade harassment and insults he faces from their peers. I think this point, with the added details about Miyuki's grandfather, and the Brother's latest attempt to separate them/get Miyuki to move back to Kyoto, is where the gathering haybale has finally broken the SoraCamel's back.

I hope they can find some way to clear things out even just a little. The last few chapters were otherwise pretty sweet and it is obvious to me that Miyuki wants to stay with Sorata and would probably be upset at her brother if she knew what he said

It's like how Rent-a-Girlfriend is popular in Japan. They must love enduring extended abuse. To say that "this is the story" with the misunderstanding is all well and good, but it needs to progress. It can't just keep "rinse and repeat" the same thing over and over.
