Class de 2 Banme ni Kawaii Onna no Ko to Tomodachi ni Natta - Ch. 27.2 - Life

[Darkshade13]

Love how deftly mom snuck in the "when you're married to Umi" like that. And he didn't object.

 

[Lunkli]

Whenever I see the start of this the title of this thing I immediately interpret it as Spanish before remembering its Japanese. The "Class of Two."

 

[SilverExp]

He's gonna break down isn't he

 

[Seinvolf]

Thank u always for ur great work...
^^...

 

[Chuito]

Boy, he's trying to get over his parents' divorce and working through the realization that his family won't ever go back to the way it was...
right before a family dinner with his GF, who, by all accounts, has a normal, happy family.
That's prime emotional breakdown material right there. (And comfort cuddles later, I guess)

Definitely gonna be a "we welcome you into our family and you can bring your mom to hang out with us as well" type of moment.
I mean with how Umi is I find it hard to believe parents wont end up being super supportive

What kid loves to see their parents devoted to work? In what kind of nighmare world they live?

Could be a misinterpretation on the TL's part, what she said would make sense if they had requests from students to fill a spot if there was a cancellation, and that she couldn't bump Maki up the list.

Nah, it's accurate. It's like a culture thing in some Asian countries. Places that are more westernized tend to be more flexible with minor "contracts" like this, while places that are still traditional tend to be rigid with them. It got its pros and cons. More pros imo, like, being flexible sometimes is hard on the managing committee (got experience with people changing plans non-stop thus making more work for me and the team). The old gramps I talked about mentioned about "instilling the importance of promises/contracts" by being rigid about stuff like this.

His mom enjoys her work. I forgot what job though. It was mentioned in the novel from time to time.

IT'S GONNA BE OKAY DAMMIT

Manga staffer. She clears the class' festival use of knockoff Chainsaw Man.

 

[ItsThatBriGuy]

Can someone spoil me what happens to the mom after this ? I love milfs so much it’s unbearable to see one be sad like this

Spoiler

Following the events of the Christmas party, they agree she should return to work. She promises to work fewer hours, though there's little evidence of this actually happening.

• technically not dating
• go around as couple
• got full acknowledgement from circle of friends
• already got blessing from parents (minus umi dad)

aren't they basically already got engaged at this point

They really are technically not dating yet, of course, which makes certain upcoming events rather surprising. Some people just make assumptions.

sssssshhhhh

 

[rozert]

Meeting dad of your GF... following Yuu...MY CONDOLENCES xDDD

 

[Kurokammi]

I'm just happy the dad isn't portrayed as the good ol' piece of shit.
Yeah, he divorced the mom and we see (and she says so) she still loves him. Must be worse for her as she sees the child everyday and all.
But at the same time he DID send them money (insinuated to the point she didn't even need to work), and she was the one who made the mistake of not using it because of vain pride. Meanwhile, he still tries to connect to his son in this clear situation where he made himself the stranger, in his own way. This way the mother's taste is also shown as not that bad, and things make sense.
The situation is far from perfect, but it's as healthy as can be when the guy just gives up on the marriage.

So let me get this straight: There was a deadline to apply(?) for the christmas party back in september (wtf?!) and MC missed it. Now, however, multiple students gave note of not wanting to attend anymore. And instead of letting students fill those numbers they're stuck in their bureaucratic traditionalism not letting students in last minute. They'd rather have an "empty" party than be flexible about that deadline

The answer to that would be a waiting list for people who missed the deadline, up to November. But that would mean the MC wouldn't get his chance most likely.
The real problem is that the party needs time to prepare and the budget must be adjusted way in advance. It's easier to have some excess if less people come, than changing the number of attendants every week. There's also the possibility someone applied, gave up, but decided to come later, because as you said, two months is a long time. But if the event was too flexible there would now be 2 people in one spot, maybe it happens more, and we get a dozen people too many in the party, the space would become tight, and the food would become scarce.
At the end of the day, flexibility brings convenience for those attending, and a lot more work for the organizers (that already needed 2 months to organize it, while being students).
If there's any fault on my logic feel free to point it out.

Yeah that does make sense for Japan, just seems a bit overly rigid imo.

More pros imo, like, being flexible sometimes is hard on the managing committee

I disagree with this part though. With a competent management team, it's not difficult to keep a list of people who have requested a slot and to allocate slots to them based on cancellations - it's a negligible amount of extra work with a proper plan in place. I know this because I have done precisely that for work events with a few hundred people in attendance.

 

[AnotherDuck]

There's a bit of resemblance? Maybe just the art style, but they're not so dissimilar that you couldn't think they're related.

Wonder if she was just taking the opportunity to get another helper.

A family that can't stay together, but can still work together.

he didnt deny the "get married to her" part, just that it was too soon, respect.

Well, unlike most romcom protagonists, they're actually open about it, not faffing about not starting to date.

• technically not dating
• go around as couple

This is what I define as dating. They go on dates.

I disagree with this part though. With a competent management team, it's not difficult to keep a list of people who have requested a slot and to allocate slots to them based on cancellations - it's a negligible amount of extra work with a proper plan in place.

Yeah, it doesn't matter who fills the slots, just that the slots are filled to a reasonable extent. If there's a massive difference it might be a problem that needs solving, but minor adjustments either directions are usually fine.

 

[RakshaJaeger]

Mom gonna be fine. Her health becomes stable since her emotional issues are resolved, her work is getting healthier too.

Nice, now I can romance her so mc can have sibling

 

[iririuuu]

bro i read this for the relaxing romance not parents drama... this stopped being a 10 and became a 7 to me

Sure, but they're high school kids, they might not be as competent as management professionals.
