Futari Bus - Ch. 2 - Overslept

[Tic_tac_potato]

If you ever read Kesa Mo Yuraretemasu by Masuda Eiji and thought "This is great and everything, but what if instead of lots and lots of other passengers, there were NO other passengers", then boy, did you come to the right place!

Turns out it isn't half bad this way either.

This guy just made the best comparison around

One bus driver would beg to differ.

How do their schedules work? The girl needs to travel farther to the city, so shouldn't she leave earlier and come back later? I guess if the boy leaves late due to a club, whereas the girl has no club activity, it might explain the same bus on the way back. But otherwise this would at least indicate her school days start later than the boy's, consistently.

I don't know how school works in Japan so this is just me talking out of my ass. I live in a rural area on a hill, where you're expected to be in school around 7.00-7.30. Down the hill, in the city, you're expected to arrive around 8.30-9.00. I always assumed it was to accommodate the morning rush where you'd be stuck in jam for at least an hour so perhaps something similar is happening here

Knowing rural japan the bus line likely has 1 trip per direction each day so she’s forced to catch an inconvenient bus.

this is one of those slow ones.. it's cooking. it's cooking good and I'm hungry!

Knowing rural japan the bus line likely has 1 trip per direction each day so she’s forced to catch an inconvenient bus.

But it ought to be impossible for her to leave school too early, skipping the last lesson every day. Maybe her particular class is formed of people arriving from further away, so the lessons start later in the morning, but extend later into the afternoon. She leaves immediately then. Meanwhile the boy in the small town school needs to lollygag every afternoon for a considerable amount of time, waiting for the bus. Unless, indeed, he has a club where he can spend the time.

I reread each chapter and my best guess is line A that they both take is likely single trip each direction or frequency close to that, and bus line B that she transfers to at the school is more frequent/ or timed transfer to line A to get home. To answer you, likely him sitting around for a long time going home
Like 3:00 pickup for her on B and then she catches A at His school at 3:30 or whatever idk

Look girl, i understand that youre probably forced into private school by your parents or you heard gossip about yourself or you were bullied or you feel bad about not telling anyone about the transfer or something elese or even a combination of all these and thats why you put distance between yourself and your own friends and didnt talk to them.

BUT if you care about this guy (and clearly you do) then you gotta nurture that connection. Not just wait for him to talk to the girl that distanced herself, not just wait for a moment like this chapter to magically present itself to you, you gotta do the smalltalk.

And i dont mean you have to sit down next to him and chat about your hobbies or anything, you just have to do simple stuff. Greet him when he comes on the bus, say goodbye when you/he leaves. (Waving is also a good first step but evidentally he figured that out before you). Maybe make a remark about something happening once every while (the weather, the changing season, etc). Simple gestures like that can build up rapport and eventually, when you feel comfrtable enough to actually talk with each other again, it wont be as awkward. Show hom through your words and actions that youre interested in maintaining that connection and he will most likely answer in kind.

And i know shes just a kid and its rich coming from me, who is more than twice her age, but cmon, its really not that complicated.

Thanks for the chapter.

WHY IS THIS SO ACCURATE EVEN DOWN TO THE AWKWARD HANDWAVING I'M CRINGING AT MY OWN MEMORIES

Its not bad but not as relateable as the one with passengers bc most of the time we r the passengers. And there are more to read when there are more people but this doesnt mean this is bad to me.
Also the same thing happened to me a lot when i was using bus, seeing the same people everyday make you feel like when one of them isnt there "oh where is him/her?".

Its complicated in that age, didnt we also had times like that? Also she doesnt directly search for something she just asked it today bc he wasnt there in morning. Also he is the one needs this advice.
