Gimai Seikatsu - Vol. 4 Ch. 23.2

[outinthegardener]

For a 12 episode anime to only cover 23 chapters... explains why the anime was filled up with awkward pauses, long shots of room interiors, and diary flashbacks. I think the anime did it fairly successfully by making sure to use interesting lighting (shoutout to golden hour!), and composing each shot like a painting or an unfunny Wes Anderson movie.

 

[ShinduPK4]

Yeah, but I think this kind of jealousy is something that can happen even between siblings.

No, it fucking isn't. At least not at their age.

 

[BanzaiYuri]

Insanely good development, just need them to start expressing more passionately like typical humans...

 

[MadAnimator]

Let's goo we finally reached the anime, there is more chapters right??

 

[raltzero]

i still dont get why people think this is incest.

I don't think Mangadex has the "Inseki" tag.

On another note, WOO MANS HAS BALLS

 

[Loliphilosophy]

Confirmed sister kisser

Although it’s big progress, why did it have all the warmth of two chatbots talking to each other? I get that they both have trauma but they should still have some warmth.

It’s because the author doesn’t know how to write natural and interesting dialogue. The entire manga is like this 💀

 

[Dzrian]

Eh idk. It feels as if they worked things out but at the same time, doesn’t.

 

[ItsThatBriGuy]

I'm torn.

On the one hand, this level of communication is almost unheard of in a romcom.

On the other, these 2 are so stilted as characters:
"I think I like you"
"Are you perhaps experiencing a phycological phenomenon?"

This is the author trying to be profound after writing a BDSM/gambling series and a triangle romcom.

He misses more than he hits.

Because, just like they have ever since the start of the manga, they are both trying as hard as they can to be considerate of each other.
They're both in conflict resolution mode, awkwardly trying to say things so they cannot be misunderstood without imposing on each other, despite there being no conflict. Because they're both afraid of causing a conflict.

I don't think he's trying to be profound. I think he's just trying to write how a scenario like this would realistically play out, when both parties are just cautiously trying to make things work, and avoid any unnecessary drama.

Noooo y'all split the two page spread :<. Could you put pages 13 and 14 together as one picture? Any way thanks for the scanlation too! Gimai seikatsu is such a great story


You have robbed us of this magnificent picture...

Legit, I think that anime did this moment better. Instead of Asamura stopping Ayase and her bringing him into her room. She goes into her room with out him. and He slowly knocks on the door. and a little bit later she knocks back.

IT IS LITERALLY THE CUTES THING EVER OMG I CANT. AAAHHHh

 

[Hs13h]

didn't even know this had an anime lol
anyway, up to the first half of chapter 27 is on comic walker. so it's continuing for at least a bit.

It came out this summer. it is stunning. Near perfect adaptation. Great sountrack, intetion camera direction and framing. made it one of my favorites.
