Funny how we have never heard of this girl up until this point. Like the author felt they needed a convenient way for the MC to fall for his wife instead of writing it naturally.Oh no, not the "Girl from the past whom I never recognised until just now" trope...
Rare is the only way to have steakFunny how we have never heard of this girl up until this point. Like the author felt they needed a convenient way for the MC to fall for his wife instead of writing it naturally.
Also on a side note: rare steak is not raw... It's delicious!
Yeah, waiting until chapter 12 to throw in two panels of "oh btw" in is really strange. I feel that it's also a detriment because now it removes "coming to their own conclusions" as a stand alone point, because now the end will have to 1) be tied to this "new" encounter from the past or 2) completely disregard it and thus leave it as entirely unanswered plot point.Funny how we have never heard of this girl up until this point.

I mean, it's a romcom in the format of a regular comic strip. They all have these types of tropes.Oh no, not the "Girl from the past whom I never recognised until just now" trope...
I'm torn, when I read that panel I rolled my eyes but thinking of it later I was like "Well they could have gone worse". I still think it's a cop out writing though.I mean, it's a romcom in the format of a regular comic strip. They all have these types of tropes.
Frankly I'm glad it's this one and not something more cliche or boring. It also makes thematic sense. In all arranged marriages, elders select their kids' spouses they see as compatible. We were lead to assume they meant this decision was made recently, but it's old.
You think you'd recognize childhood friends after 10 years from a party? Maybe, but it's not nearly as absurd as other tropes.
This manga's got depth to it! I'd only be upset if they never picked it back up again.
Yeah it's almost like to make them seem as less toxic as a couple they added in "Oh gee willikers I've got a girl I knew long ago she was so nice I miss her" for then that stupid reveal at some point "Your that girl?".Yeah, waiting until chapter 12 to throw in two panels of "oh btw" in is really strange.

But even without this "revelation" introduced the author was already having them work on their relationship in a very positive way. I'd say the only benefit having this happen in chapter 12 instead of chapter 1 is that the latter would have it immediately lambasted for ripping off of Nisekoi.Yeah it's almost like to make them seem as less toxic as a couple they added in "Oh gee willikers I've got a girl I knew long ago she was so nice I miss her" for then that stupid reveal at some point "Your that girl?".
The knowing thewinner girl from a young age is a pretty common trope in these kinds of series so while I would have called it out earlier I think it'd have been better then pulling the card now cause it feels retconny if you know what I mean?But even without this "revelation" introduced the author was already having them work on their relationship in a very positive way.

Yeah. That's the issue is that it was kinda thrown in there. They could have at least addressed this more candidly than it being thrown in. But otherwise "meh" for me.I'm torn, when I read that panel I rolled my eyes but thinking of it later I was like "Well they could have gone worse". I still think it's a cop out writing though.

One thing I never liked in this series is Grandpa loved his grandson to bits but yet left him in an abusive home that entire time to a developmental and social development deterioration. People would be like "Well maybe he couldn't" and I'd say "Well he somehow could when MC is already 18".
Oh no, not the "Girl from the past whom I never recognised until just now" trope...

We already knew she was going to win, so there's no need to rub it in like this. It's just ticking off a box at this point, and adds just as much of value. Well, it can't be worse than 5toubun.But even without this "revelation" introduced the author was already having them work on their relationship in a very positive way.
