Boku no Ikezu na Konyakusha - Vol. 4 Ch. 21.1

[juanguillermo]

So maybe this is her finally starting to realize that what she thinks, isn't what other people are seeing/evaluating when it comes to her. In that light, her sudden question of "do Sorata and Ayano also think it's a waste [that I'm not choosing college/to apply myself]?" could be that shift in her thought process and how she herself has misread things from Sorata's point of view.

I would go further and say that part of the reason that Miyuki doesn't understand other peoples' perception of her is because of how successful she's been her whole life. From her perspective, she has lived up to every expectation from every person in her life for the most part because that's what she needs to do. I wouldn't be surprised if she started to believe that her goals in life are shaped by other people's expectations of her since that's the only type of success she's known.

In this whole Kyoto arc we are seeing this idea challenged with the interaction with her former classmates, Sorata telling her that he believes her decision to go to Tokyo wasn't her own, and now Mary just flat out saying to her that people (including Mary) expected different things from her. No one was inherently wrong in any of these situations and I don't blame her for freezing up every time. She's still a kid after all. No matter what, it's always a surprise when one of your fundamental beliefs get challenged and shaken so much and so often in a short period of time.

It's an irony that both Irohs hold the same rank don't it, lmao.

Gods every time i see the brothers face i get pissed

Welcome to the club. Every time I see that guy I get pissed off because he's just a fucking unempathetic jerk.

TY for the TL. I'm glad to see this getting updates. I will say I really like this one in half chapters.

excuse me

A based poster of culture.

I dislike a lot of examples of the misunderstanding tropes in manga because typically authors don't know how to write a misunderstanding taking place without turning their characters into idiots, but in this story the misunderstandings are due to realistic reasons like personality conflicts and cultural differences that make it so the character writing doesn't suffer

I guess you could say that this series avoids creating misunderstanding tropes by turning the characters into idiots, but that’s because both the ML and FL were already socially incapable from the start. I remember there was a whole flashback earlier in the series about the FL showcasing legitimate antisocial tendencies

"See my dad".
Hmm, is there something more to that tanzaku?

She mentioned her mum being dead in a previous chapter.
Does she also not see her dad much for some reason?

Last chapter had such an emotional cliffhanger and knowing I could read chapter 21's translation in the server, I had to join
Seems like 262 other people reacted just like I did

And man, if we could just slap the shit out of her brother until he gets a factory reset (amnesia + new personality). Dude traumatized Sorata so bad he can't trust Miyuki's words (nor probably anyone's word if they are from Kyoto.)

My god, they are really milking this now...
