Ahh mann... I think my sugar level just went up again after reading this chapter. It was way too sweet and wholesome, especially with Mikami’s unbelievably cute smile 💕:meguu:

Dude can you stop being such a bitch?? Who tf gives a shit what others think?? And stop deciding for others if they want you around or not, like she said, if she didn't wanna be around you, she wouldn't go out of her way to do all of this



I can't stand the self deprecating personality these MCs tend to have, author don't you dare lump that in with actual introverts, we do not have that loser ass mentality like him smfh

I’m glad she called it out. The self-deprecating mindset that ignores the person who’s spending time with you but accepting rumors from outsiders is really disrespectful of the person who chose to spend their time with you.
The frequency with which this trope appears in high school romcoms is (or at least should be) educational. It's valid to have concerns that your presence in someone else's life might reflect negatively on them. It's even valid - and good and healthy communication! - to mention these concerns to the other person and ask them if they share those concerns so you two can work something out. What's not valid is making a unilateral decision to act on that concern by ending whatever acquaintanceship you have with the other person.

This is applicable to basically all relationships at all ages, too, even if it only ever seems to be presented in this specific context.

Honestly, at first I thought that this sort of trope might actually work out fine here, because chapter one established that he wasn't really comfortable with her being there in the first place. Like, this "oh, the rumors" could be seen as him trying to use the gossip as an out to try and convince her to stop "bothering" him, so to speak. And that would have been a fascinating take on the trope! An MC who does like the girl's company but convinces himself that he doesn't and tries to get away because the idea of being with someone makes him uncomfortable would be super interesting!

But then we get the whole "oh I never thought of you as a bother at all!!!" and it all falls apart. 'Cause now this decision is 100% about the rumors and not at all about his own feelings regarding her and her presence. Awesome!!

Actual communication in a romance manga?? Holy shii......
Literally thought the same thing. I don't know why people don't like the mc. I used to be a fat loner with low self-esteem. And when you are constantly told you are nothing. You start believing them. My wife said the same thing the fl said in this manga. I can relate to mc minis the fat because the mc ain't fat.

Speaking from experience I had very similar thoughts between ages 10 and 15 or so, hell even after. It seems even more detrimental in Japan because of the culture of not going against the grain. The translation feature on twitter has flooded my feed with Japanese posts and it's amazing how often it comes up as a point. People letting things slide because of not wanting to stick out.

I think the lack of self esteem for pretty much everyone in that age range doesn't help either. I don't think I got substantial self esteem until I was into my twenties, most guys I speak to are similar. I would rather die than be a teenage boy again lol.

Good chapter anyhow, we basically skipped the emo, I don't want to talk to her since it'll make trouble for her arc. It didn't seem to even be they much of a issue in the first place, fingers crossed we get them developing their dynamic before anything else.

Thanks for the TL.

Yeah, like, being paralyzingly socially anxious as a teenager is incredibly relatable, haha. I genuinely hope teenagers read stuff like this and learn the right lessons from it! Being a teen is hard as shit, they deserve all the help they can get.

Unrelated: This story also oddly feels like someone wanted to write a Seiun Sky/Nishino Flower romcom but couldn't bring themselves to actually use the Umamusume IP, so they invented OCs instead.
