Futago Matomete "Kanojo" ni Shinai? - Vol. 3 Ch. 11.2

[Nivek]

At least childhood friend was faster

And who's that girl at the end? And thanks for the translation

 

[Magnus_Prime]

Tch.

 

[Septazia]

super weak direction with the childhood friend and the new girl gives tropey vibes too. not a fan of where it's going but love the premise enough to stick with it.

It might not be the height of drama or the most original take, but just by virtue of having them all communicate open, honestly and be actually comfortable together puts it in a higher tier than most Romcoms.

For example in "my boyish girlfriend is too cute" the couple has been together for a year, is at chapter 28 and they can't even hug, infact when the guy tried he got punched.
Not to mention the various Romcoms getting Anime adaptation despite the Rom being dead in the water, like:

• Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian (too busy with student council elections, MC seems to have convinced himself that she doesn't actually like him.
• medaka kuroiwa is impervious to my charm (a fake harem where the protagonist is made clear from the start, haven't checked in a couple of months but main girl confessed then said it was a joke, over a 100 chapters)
• Hajimete no Gal, despite starting with a girlfriend from the start it devolved into an harem, the author had to use the supernatural to divide the couple, 200 chapters, 10 years and he still finds new ways to put things between them
• 
  
• Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru, 115 chapters, 7 years, finished, the premise was supposed to be about a COUPLE that affirms each other's hobby, it ended being a shoujo Manga with a lot of fakeout eroticism and a guy who stopped being uncomfortable around the girl in the EXTRAs of the last volume
• Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi, 8 years, over 200 chapters (even if they are small), oblivious guy, 2 incompatible people, then they get together at the last moment inbetween an unseen timeskip
• Ao no Hako, one of the couple has the guy straight up tell the girl that he cant' bear to see her (even alone) in a bikini that is too much for him, took 1 year of being together to kiss, the girl is slightly older and wants to do more but he keeps blocking her, realistically she would have (and should have) left him.
• The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses, another loveless harem, the MC is so robotic and inoffensive that the girls have bathed with him, naked gun, is ending in 7 chapters, will likely go like 5Toubon, 1 chapter of maybe dating, the guy pretending his love was very strong and people will call it a Romance.

Honorary mention to the other Throuple Manga.

• Otoko Girai na Bijin Shimai wo Namae mo Tsugezu ni Tasuketara Ittai Dounaru? Started strong I think, I was loving it, another "throuple" Romcom, but the Romcom somewhat stopped after chapter 15, is like the author is going back and forth between places not knowing what to do and the relationship hasnt' moved in 9 out of 24 chapters. The MC is stonewalling the girls for no reason there is no current arc going on, nothing is standing between them.

So he never got confirmation if it was a dare or she's been honest back then? And the twins don't question that either? Ok...

They show a foot peeking out from around the corner, and Yuzuki isn't blushing or happy looking when she confesses.

So either it was a dare, or it was her friends peeping and he misunderstood. The latter seems less likely because they establish other girls don't like him. Guess we'll see later.

medaka kuroiwa is impervious to my charm

God the decline on that one was awful. I'm sort of glad it simupubbed on one of the garbage platforms so I'm not even tempted to hate read.

So either it was a dare, or it was her friends peeping and he misunderstood. The latter seems less likely because they establish other girls don't like him. Guess we'll see later.

Her feelings might have been legitimate but she was only expressing them due to the punishment game. I think the moral there was she was too weak willed to be with a "sticking up nail".

 

[Me]

Young man, you don't seem to understand how nails and hammers work.

 

[UdenEmpati]

That's kind of what I think as well, yeah.
I cannot think of another reason to depict the foot scooting back around the corner like that, because it fully insinuates that someone else was present, and the rest of the scene's context would require a string of nonsensical coincidences to paint it as anything but a punishment game meant to mock the MC.

Unfortunately for them both, Yuzuki absolutely liked/likes him, but she feared being bullied more, and spent too long cowing before his bullies and just going along with their mocking to save herself - and now it's way too late.

At best, I think he can forgive her like he effectively states here in this chapter, but he owes her nothing beyond that. The existence of the letter pretty much means she'll factor into the narrative again in the future (at least I assume he'll give it to her at some point), but hopefully the MC won't give her the time of day beyond maybe getting closure over what all went down in middle school.

It will be missed

Is it toast? Or did their webmaster just screw up? Because I'm not getting a 404 or other kind of common error for a taken-down site. Instead my antivirus is just blocking it over invalid certificates, which is sometimes just a matter of someone flipping a switch or not paying a bill on time or something. I don't remember ever getting that because a site was shut down unless some squatter popped up immediately after and set up something shifty to try and trap people who were unaware.

There were only a couple of series that I ended up reading over there so I'm not super put out, but it's kinda sad if our options lessen.

This is how I find out bro…

RIP Comick

It’s completely toast, with plans to never be put back up.

 

[Darkshade13]

It’s completely toast, with plans to never be put back up.

I have a feeling the clock is ticking on Mangadex and is probably a lot closer to zero than we'd like to think.

 

[BlackElite]

That really does look like a punishment game that forced something not entirely insincere.

Indeed, her expression is something that should not be in a confession, but there might be another reason... Like, one last chance to prove that he still has emotions... Or maybe it's indeed a punishment game...

 

[kamiyathunder]

A "tch" at the end?
Instant hate.

Thanks for the translation.
