Filter-Goshi no Kanojo - Vol. 2 Ch. 9 - Arrive Like A Storm

[AnacondaHL]

This soon? It's not even ten chapters in. Ten bucks says they made stupid marriage promises in kindergarten and the MC just forgot

soon? This falls comfortably within range of The Law of Romcom Chapter 8-12 Introduction of the Rival That Never Wins

 

[Kushikime]

If she’s a main stay … yikes. Her design is awful 😢

 

[LosDS]

Hate this stupid trope. Begone

 

[pip25]

Dunno... She's not annoying at least. Might be interesting, might be terrible as far as developments go, we shall see.

 

[YamiryuuZero]

Damn so many piss babies crying about something so insignificant

I believe people have been burned out by several other stories pulling this trope but having a piss poor execution.
But then again, they're definitely jumping the gun here and not giving time for the mangaka to show what they can do with this trope. Maybe it'll be the best execution of this trope, but people are too quick to judge and dismiss someone else's work.

Let the guy cook, it might be good!

[zzetal]

What a surprising development

 

[MacintoshHi]

First the toast in mouth while running,
Now the rival love interest transfer student.

What’s the next manga trope coming?

Huh, I had a feeling she'd be back (you don't give a character in a flashback an age) but I didn't think it's be 8 chapters later. For reference, go back to the flashback in Ch. 1, page 21. Apparently his creepy smile made her cry and that's how he got his nickname of Stoney. I guess either it's water under the bridge (it was 10 years ago. Kindergarteners don't really Hold grudges) or there's a misunderstanding to be cleared next chapter or 2.

Mitsuha has some good intuition for putting 2 and 2 together in minutes. I wasn't sure if MC gave her a name. I guess people are freaking out but I wanna see how this goes first. Maybe she gets into the business as well

Yeah, I don't get why girls walk awkwardly with their legs inwards like that. Makes for some very crooked legs. At least in Japanese media.

It's a surprisingly complex issue with no true answer: http://www.ageekinjapan.com/japanese-girls-walking-uchimata/

Some do it to look cute, some think it's a consequence of how women used to sit back when tatami mats were more common. And many other theories.

Jack's Law of Modern Romcoms:

“Between the chapters 8-13 a secondary love rival will be introduced. This may be used to expedite or hinder the original relationships progress.”

 

[Weoooo]

Moeblob as a rival? That's interesting.

 

[F3mb0I69]

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[74HC595]

We started off with an assertive glamorous girl, and now added another assertive glamorous girl. Can’t they have contrasted Mitsuha with a responsible smart girl instead? We’d get the “maybe she’s a better fit for stoney than me” from Mitsuha, and “what’s this thot doing dragging a good student around” from the new girl. But no, instead we got a second blatant fanservice character. So long as the characters have depth and are distinguished I don’t mind it, but this is insulting to the reader.

 

[74HC595]

If she’s a main stay … yikes. Her design is awful 😢

There’s a chance that she has a crisis of consciousness, decides to be a more honest person, and completely changes her look to reflect that. Kinda like how the gyarus in gyaru romance manga always ditch the gaudy makeup. Still bad writing though.

Love triangles can fuck off!

 

[Ninoren]

Girl out here being jealous because he's interacting with another female human being for school, but is okay with posting borderline porn pics 🤨

 

[Jkc121302]

Well Here comes the short hair bitch. This is the second manga that introduced these bums. Why can’t we just enjoy a manga without these whore coming in start bothering us now this manga definitely isn’t getting a confession until 2030

 

[JackWasGone]

Wow they REALLY love to use the "new girl who has a closer relationship with mc" trope as soon as main female lead is starting to recognize her feelings. it's like they have no other plot devices to use

 

[LordWind]

I just want to share this video for no reason whatsoever

 

[CulR]

Ok she can't possbily feel that connected after not seeing a friend from kindergarten for 10 whole years. Or am I just a bad friend?

Haru's coloring looks so good. As a fan colorer... teach me sensei.
