Saaaame. So dumb she cut it. It's just a plot device to show "growth". I don't care how realistic it is I find it retarded in storytelling.

If you don't care about realism you don't care about storytelling either. You just liked her old haircut better, that's all lol

 

[LordofLeechers]

Huh, I wonder if they will actually grow past their crushes and just become normal step-siblings.

 

[ciera]

Thanks so much

 

[Roike]

see y’all in two months when the next chapter is out

 

[Pars_d]

It would be rather funny if they go public then absolutely nothing happens in school because of it. Anyways, as long as it's not followed by contrived drama, then all is well.

I hope not. they fit really well together.

 

[kuf]

Drama probably incoming

 

[Re9ent]

Yo this manga about how 2 families become 1 is actually deeper than i initially thought

 

[chusetto]

 

[oryzas0]

These 2 are really matures for their ages god damn, this is why really like the light novels.

 

[tekkenshu7]

Thanks for the new chapter!

This is such a sweet chapter for the two of them. This story really helps reinvent the step-siblings trope. I mean there is still a hint of that forbidden-romance they are both holding back on, but somehow the approach to that is kind of different compared to its contemporaries.

What kind of retarded response is this. I'm reading a fictional story about step-siblings falling in love. The setting may be modern day but that doesn't mean the characters and scenarios are. Storytelling does not have to be "realistic" to be good. In fact being realistic can take away from good storytelling.

When it comes to good storytelling I care about good writing and character consistency. Nothing about her haircut is good from a writing perspective. It's just a stupid trope that is so unnecessary and dumb. Also looks ugly on her. You can show her slowly change through her words and actions you don't have to physically change her looks to fake growth. It's nothing more than wasted "shock" to show "something's different" instead of being more subtle in the writing. The fact the series went through this cliche just hurts it not help.

Seriously what has changed after the haircut? She calls him Nii-san now. The fact she did that was a bigger shock that started to change the nature of their relationship and was more interesting in showing a shift in her mentality. The haircut did nothing to show that. You would still get all that emotional weight regardless of her cutting her hair not because of it. Making her cut it is fucking pointless

One of the tags on this series is Romance. I call BS. Where is the romance?

Those two mog me hard in teenager phase. Back in my highschool day I just spend time on tcg and hobby shit without any care for the future.
