Boku no Tsuma wa Kanjou ga Nai - Vol. 7 Ch. 42

[jesuscristo]

I like how the first page of the comment section was all about bashing the side stories and at some point it completely stopped. This manga has always been about the world as much as it was about the couple.

If you want to keep being angry about it I'd suggest you wait a couple months and pick this up again so you can skip the chapters you don't like.

I... hate this chapter. I hate it a lot. Not because it isn't focusing on the main characters, or even the sub characters. I hate it because it feels like it's straight out of Nichijou. For a series that at least PARTIALLY grounded itself in some form of reality, this chapter is WAY too absurd to make any fucking sense.

What is the author doing?!

Wow, this chapter was just bad... The problem is not that we don't have the main couple but this chapter was just silly and not making any sense. It did not feel deep or anything. It felt like the author was just throwing a cool idea they thought of without thinking of it for 5 minutes. The author can do it tho I think the biggest example is the other Mina that is getting drinks in the rain because her owner died and he did not want her to lose their memories. It is a deep idea that can be debated on what is good and no for a person and told without many words.

This chapter was just random.

These comments I agree with. The romance twist was cute but silly in execution.

 

[KuroeNekumi]

...as someone else said, at least it isn't another robot club chapter.

I do feel the execution could've been a bit better regardless tho. The relationship isn't really explored that much, and the limited interaction we're shown doesn't convince me of their relationship TBH.

The concept feels sound enough, and the question is interesting, even the idea on how to go about it is nice...but the part in between each point feel weird.

 

[FrizzleFry]

Yeah, I'm finna drop this manga.

Should've just been a cute (even if somewhat predictable) manga about the main Couple's relationship growth, that eventually led to Mina getting the Human-level upgrade, then explored their experiences with her being upgraded.
Could've been cuter, shorter, more enjoyable, and WAAAY less pseudo-philosophical.

 

[G-P]

If the next chapter doesn't start off with god smiting the club with meteors, then I riot.

 

[doctagon]

many such cases. i'll just hope for the best but prepare for the worst

 

[Kurovah]

I was pleasantly confused the entire chapter. At least these two have a good future ahead of them

Page 6 she's saying that other well-born girls don't know that their heads can be taken off, only she's rich enough to have that knowledge.
Page 7 That seems like a nitpick to me, it's still very understandable how I put it.
Page 9 Yep, that one's on me and I didn't catch it, it is indeed school day. Fixed
Page 22 Yes, she's saying that because they always left school together and she says that is must have been painful for him due to her not knowing he loves her.
Page 27 Too late as in, she thinks the relationship is over, she's too clingy.

Took a look at the raws.

Page 6: Makes no sense, as there are no other "well-born girls" around. My suggestion was off too, though, "I didn't know that heads of the well-born girls could come off..." seems to be more correct.
Page 7: It's a bit hard to figure out correct translation without punctuation, but "It's life threatening for a reason" sounds like reason is known. わけあって means "for some reason", though, so, it should be something along the lines of "For some reason she's in life threatening condition, and modern medical technology can't seem to help."
Page 9: What about the second text box? It really should say "overwrite robot's memory with Shitorarii's", not other way around.
Page 22: I don't think she specifically mentions leaving school with or without him. I think it's more like "I didn't realize, that me leaving school was so hard for you...", hence "I will live here!".
Page 27: It's actually past tense - "i thought you were late", meaning she was waiting for him, but he was late talking to a different Shitorarii.

I'm not sure how this particular chapter feels less grounded than the space aliens, appliances growing consciousness, appliances actually being a secret super appliance robot that had a built in consciousness, everything to do with the little elderly assistance bot, or all the other crazy sci-fi stuff that was happening. This one isn't serving the main romance plot though so I guess that's enough to feel out of place.

Me, I enjoy robot stories and sci-fi quandaries. Honestly this one chapter could've been a one-shot but we kind of sped through the whole bit which would be where my complaint lies. There also seems to be a confusion about whether the robot knows that they're a robot, despite them saying that she doesn't and just has really out there explanations for why she does robot things. At least Ryuusei's Shitorarii didn't. She found out during the Dad's crazy entrance (or at least hinted she'll find out later). But I guess this confusion just stems from the fact that the whole idea was speedran through.

Anyway I like the wordbuilding and that's why I'm reading. I love the main couple too and I would like to see more of how the child develops into the future but otherwise I'm content with the author going through a few ideas.

Exactly, it's what i reckon most readers were expecting, and there's nothing wrong with being a bit predictable, specially in a genre like romcom.
And it's not like it really has to be that predictable from the romcom perspective; since the theme (human and robot relationship) is something somewhat novel, the author could've just put them in common life or romantic situations, and shown the characters' perspectives. That'd be enough to keep most of the audience interested, i feel like.

Hell, he could even still tackle the philosophical stuff at the same time, it just had to be done in a more... natural way. The way it was done feels a bit hamfisted. It's perfectly fine to have parallel stories or characters, but you can't forget the main point of the story.

It's like as if someone was reading a story about a group of adventurers in a quest to save the realm, and them in a certain chapter way ahead the perspective suddenly shifted from the heroes to a random village and the daily lives of its peasants. Like yeah, it might be interesting to see how the people live and stuff, but it's not the thing that attracted the audience to the story in the first place, so there's no point in focusing on it too much.

To the translator, you should follow the example of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., that means you should create a thread on /a/ for every new chapter on Sundays, that way the anons there can help you fix the translations errors, confusing redaction and so on, like they always did with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Right now there is an ongoing dump of the series, with a chapter being dumped there every day or so and this chapter was also dumped there, so it is not like the anons went away when S.T.A.L.K.E.R. jumped the ship, you can still get help from them.

Uhh, no. I'll continue to comment on things I read whether I like them or not. If you don't like people having different opinions than you, either suck it up and learn to get past it or get off the internet. There's no need to be a jerk to others just because you don't want to see dissent (and before you argue that you aren't being a jerk, tagging my post as dumb, telling people to "go away" and get out because "they won't be missed" is being a jerk.)

good thing i dont absolutely care if people on the internet think im a jerk, the fact you think i dont meant to call everyone that continues to read what they dont like it idiots baffles me. Its not that i dont enjoy seeing dissent, afterall thats what the comments are for, i just dont enjoy people coming up with stupid things to say, the manga hasnt been focusing on the main couple only, for a while now, i get complaining on the first times, but its a staple at this point and still seeing people complaining about it makes me think if we are even reading the same manga, the author has been throwing at us the problems of robots for a while now, multiple robots at that, its not a new thing. And for your comment bellow, just because a manga has the title my robot wife, doesnt mean it cant focus on other things sometimes, just because the manga is called naruto doesnt mean we cant follow other characters around, do you know how dumb that sounds?

You can and it is obviously expected for a manga or any longer story to show different characters and side stories, but the point of the complaints is that the tone of the manga has changed a lot from what it was initially, the main couple being only about half or less of the manga now. Imagine if that were to happen with any series with main characters.

my senpai is annoying is an example, its not the rarest thing for the main characters to lose some focus

The fact that this is how you frame the issue shows you don't really understand the complaints at all. And the fact that you're defending being a prick with "I don't care how I come across" shows that you have no interest in understanding, you just want to be confident that you're right and everyone else is dumb.

I guess there's no point in arguing this any further because it won't go anywhere. I look forward to your continued annoyance at my or anyone else's ongoing voiced frustration about this series.

bitch i didnt defend myself, i know i come across has a prick, and i dont care, thats literally what i said, we are on a manga site, you should know how to read. And no i dont have the slightest interest in hearing your complaints, because they are annoying, I already wrote this on my first comment, so i dont care to understand your complaining, because it all goes to "i dont like the fact that the main couple is not the focus anymore" thats it, you guys have been saying the same shit every comment for a while now and thats why i dont care and find it annoying

I'd be just fine with growing the cast if it weren't absurdly goofy. Plus let's not forget the entire chapter he spent pimping his OTHER manga.

 

[CinderSquall]

I'm usually one for "letting the author cook"... but there's a lot of shenanigans that doesn't make much sense to me.

1st: Why does robot Shitorarii have to "factory reset" every day? What is the point of that.

2nd: I understand that Shitorarii's father wants his daughter to have the illusion of having lived a life as a dream but considering how fiction(not to mention they also mentioned it in this chapter) tend to make cryo essentially a "time lock" for the aging process of the body... wouldn't the illusion of having a life be pointless if she's gonna be waking up as a child still?

3rd: Assuming those are indeed other robots of Shitorarii... why? I'd understand if it's for when one breaks down and needs to undergo repairs... but having multiple ones active is confusing... additional assumption is that one is essentially the romantic partner of Ryuusei... why not just let that be the main(and only) active one? Romantic life should still fall under the "illusion of having a life" no?

4th: I honestly find it ironic and hypocritical that one of the people that is trying to put forth a "robot's deserve to have rights" is also technically violating "human rights".

Honestly I don't mind the side characters getting their stories... what I do mind is how author seems confuzzled on their point for all the philosophical thinking they're inserting in the series.

YES someone gets it. I absolutely agree with all of those things you listed, i wanted to comment about it, but you've put it much better than i could.
The only reason i can think of for giving her those experiences through dreams is to keep her mind active while she is on cryo. Muscles go through atrophy if they don't get used for too long, so maybe he is applying the same logic to her mind, although i don't know if that is necessary.

And number 4, totally agree. If the dude wants society to respect robots more, why is he using the robots like tools? why disregard the feelings the robot might acquire, by reseting her every single day?

I think this is why people have said before that the author has been half-assing the philosophical questions in the manga. He has interesting concepts in mind and all, but i can't help but feel like they aren't exactly covered as well as they could, which is why it'd be better to mostly stick to the romance aspect of the manga.
