Danjo no Yujou wa Seiritsu suru? (Iya, Shinai!!) - Vol. 3 Ch. 24.2

[ActuallyArma]

I think I'm more frustrated that I don't have a time machine to jump forward 5 or 6 chapters than I am with these two blockheads being blockheads. But, as usual in romcoms, communication is something everyone but the involved love interests know about.

1. because she didn’t realize she was his first love, which brought in a bunch of emotions she was not equipped to handle. 2. She didn’t bring her in knowing that she would REPLACE HER, which is another heap of emotional stress she was not ready for. 3. Her long time best friend doesn’t pick up on the fact this is clearly bothering her, I mean it’s pretty fucking obvious with how she was arguing that she didn’t want it and MC didn’t stop for a second to think “hey maybe let’s table this for now so I can talk 1 on 1 with Himari”.

Don't get me wrong, I believe they're both at fault here but those reasons aren't as much of a defense or as sound as they might seem. Honestly, two of the three can very easily apply to her, too.

1 - Yuu has told her several times how, sure, that Enomoto happened to be his first love. However, he doesn't feel that way for her anymore and how she's misunderstanding the situation. Which she has blown off and ignored, especially in the latest two chapters where she instructs Enomoto to get along with Yuu.

2 - You're right, she didn't. Despite that, though, she has had several opportunities to tell him that she wasn't ok with it. She doesn't pull Yuu aside, she doesn't tell him about how she actually feels about it or what she's thinking. Instead she went off making it about other aspects of the role. The harassment Enomoto may receive, how much of Enomoto's time is being consumed ontop of time she already has allotted for other things in her life.

3 - He outright said he didn't understand what was bothering her. As far as he had seen they worked well together, they joked and played around. At the end of the day, despite the reasons Himari had given was something Enomoto had to decide on. Instead of telling him how she really feels she says how they've been working hard together. She made it about something else, which made him respond to that instead. He even acknowledges that she hasn't been acting as she normally does and explains how he sees it. That's, what? 4 or 5 opportunities to pull him aside and tell him. Instead she declares they're no longer friends. Now 5 or 6 opportunities if you include how he texted her afterward and that went ignored after the meet up.


Sure, he should have pulled her aside so they can talk privately about it. But there's absolutely no reason why she couldn't do the same. You can argue that she was put on the spot or backed into a corner and felt as though she couldn't, only that doesn't change the fact that she took the nuclear option after receiving that email to transfer instead of making things clear 1 on 1 after the meet up.

I mean, yeah? This chapter did explain for her behaviour but like, does it justify her behaviour though?

Correct me if I'm wrong cause I might misremember this, but isn't she the one who first suggest inviting the other girl to become his model? And now she mad cause he agreed with HER suggestion, which will make him broke his promise with HER?

And the point about how MC doesn't even try to notice her feeling, and MC actually agreed with it for some reason? Like bruh, we, the readers, until this chapter, don't even know what she what thinking even though we can literally read her thoughts. Heck, even she herself had only just realized her feeling a few chapters before, and she somehow expects MC to be able to understand her?

It also doesn't help how she just not want to face the damn problem, you know? Like, for a few chapters now, she keeps taking things lightly, joke about it, laugh it off, ect. Literally in this chapter, she ignored MC after dumping water on him, didn't even try to explain herself (Yes, I'm still mad about it), literally ran from the problem when MC took the initiative to try and resolve it, and when she tried to end it all by herself by sending that email to MC and the other girl, I still don't know what to even say about this.

When MC finally confronted her, she slapped him and continue to blame him. When MC finally snapped (surprise it took him this long tbh) she finally explained why she was acting like this, and I don't know about you guys reading that section, but to me, it's basically:
"How dare you agreed with the things I told you to do, don't you know those things will violate the other things I told you to do prior to this?"
And then she fucking RUN AWAY, AGAIN.

And before anyone accuse me of ignoring MC's faults and only focus on FMC. I'm not, MC is definitely not innocent in this mess of a forced drama, he sucks, but can you fault people for focusing only on FMC when, if you list out 10 faults of MC, 6 to 7 of them can be directly attributed to MC agreeing with FMC, or FMC influencing MC

Like, I know they are supposed to be immature, but still, there got to be a limit somewhere, in this particular case, the excuse of "they're JUST in the first year of highschool" doesn't really work, what should be said is "they're in the first year of highschool ALREADY"



PS:Yes, I know it isn't FMC's idea to make the other girl into an "exclusive model", it was the guy friend's idea, but that idea would probably never have come up if she never suggested to have the girl help with the modeling. So this is basically another of MC's fault that can be directly traced back to FMC.


PSS: Thank you for the translation, you did an amazing job.

Mate, You Really Speaking A BIG Facts That I Agreed Everything you said .

And You Know What?, Blame the author man, Why the fuck this highschool romance have to be this heavy and deep, i thought it was just some harem romance comedy-shit, And Why i'm Invested ...

 

[martianpaws]

Man, have you ever encounter real highschool students yet? Even if it's not a japanese one. Haven't you experienced being a highschool student?

I was born out of a vat

 

[jagfanbb]

Bros dick is so far up inside him right now

 

[TheWritingWriter]

gotta stop reading the comments to this manga it seems.
anyway great work on the translation jailbird-san

 

[pepinotomate]

Himari character development during this arc is the equivalent of Koffing evolving into Weezing, but at least on later LN volumes she become more bearable, the mc is still sorta ass though

 

[jrocker]

And this is why a childhood promise for something minor shouldn't be treated like the most important thing... If they didn't decide they had to be friends and could talk honestly then this wouldn't have happened

 

[KingWhooper]

Can’t be happy for even a minute can’t we. 🙁

Everyone keeps hammering “Himari brought Ennamouto in first! Why is she getting mad?” 1. because she didn’t realize she was his first love, which brought in a bunch of emotions she was not equipped to handle. 2. She didn’t bring her in knowing that she would REPLACE HER, which is another heap of emotional stress she was not ready for. 3. Her long time best friend doesn’t pick up on the fact this is clearly bothering her, I mean it’s pretty fucking obvious with how she was arguing that she didn’t want it and MC didn’t stop for a second to think “hey maybe let’s table this for now so I can talk 1 on 1 with Himari”.

Their entire relationship was built on never falling in love with eachother, so it’s not like “oh just tell him you like him” is an option, so all she can do is try and make HIM fall for her first (thus the sudden spike in flirting). Then the more she flirts the harder he rebuffs her which drills the concern that even if she did try to confess or something that he would say no deeper and deeper into her head so that’s not even an option.

Hell she even tries desperately to calm herself down before the water incident, like shit was heartbreaking for anyone who’s had a panic attack before. She KNOWS she’s being unreasonable, she KNOWS it’s her fault ennamouto is there at all.

At this point she feels she has no options left at all and a time limit before she’s replaced so she’s desperate and every tool in her tool box keeps making things worse. She’s never even BEEN in love before and she has to navigate it under the worst possible conditions.

Himari never flirted with Yuu though. She kept lying, gaslighting and do other shenanigans all the time.

Anyone defending Himari, making excuses as ”They are only 15 y/o” or ”Yuu is at fault too!” are objectively just wrong.

1: Himari has always played ”pranks” on Yuu ever since they partnered up to make the accessories.
2: Himari was the one pushing Enomoto onto Yuu, even AFTER she had realized that she has feelings for him.
3: Even if Yuu would’ve had 1 on 1 discussion with Himari she would’ve more than likely just dodged the issue or pranked him as she has always done.
4: The fact that Yuu blames himself that he was the first one who made the mistake is just another indication of how much he has been gaslit by Himari. Yuu has in fact not done anything wrong to deserve the humiliation or the physical abuse.

“Normal” high schoolers don’t act this way. Only toxic high schoolers do (i.e. bullies).

 

[Ann2004]

The problem to her is that the new girl will be the first to wear the accessories, that was the promise MC broke, just having the new girl helping as a model was fine to her.

Yeah, I did mention this point at the end of my of my comment too.

I like the story and the drama is very fun, but I dislike Himari because she reminds me my old college crush and that's a personal reason I can't support her, no matter everyone here know she and Yuu will end together. I can't stand this kind of immaturity not for a valid reason since I love Nagatoro and how her immaturity made her do all those stupid things to Chadoto, but here I see a personal bias against Himari, so most of my comments against her are due to this... but I know in fiction, characters learn and mature.

TLDR: my college crush is crazy.


My crush made the same stupid things and went as far as denying she had feelings, but also not having them, purposely making me stay in a limbo for years. We parted ways and reencounter several years later, I was more experienced with women and saw how she tried to do the same, I confronted her and again, she couldn't define our friendship, making contradictions like saying "you're not near to be my best friend, we aren't very good friends; but you're the person I trust most, even more than my family, I see you as my soulmate".

 

[AfroedMangareader]

I promised and I'm a man of my words.

Stand tall Jailbird. Nerissa would be proud of your work.

 

[aister]

this is why best friends with opposite gender won't work

 

[Angelnickl]

Thanks for the TLs. I can feel for both of them, but maybe this development is a bit "fast?" Like we could see it coming from a mile a way but I almost felt like the drama turn went from 0 to 60 real fast. And while teen angst be what it is and can happen this quick, just feel like they both needed to stew on their relationship how their feelings have changed over time. They are both clearly invested in it and hold it precious in whatever form it takes, but afraid of change and ruining it. It is almost like they ruined something by trying their best to protect it, both overprotective of status quo but unable to sustain it. I might be rambling...I wouldn't mind a third girl to swoop in and take the win though...

 

[colorlesseatstomboys]

Ah yes, of course it's all his fault now.
She broke that promise herself by trying to play cupid and bringing her in. But then she realized her owns feeling and went nah uh.
