Tbh, I'd like it to end here instead of seeing the childhood friend lose.

 

[thatguy_99]

End?!

 

[Yuyuin]

End?!

Volume 2 added a new subtitle so I guess it has its own page and doesn't keep using this one. It's here

 

[AsteroidCreator99]

I'm currently reading the novel because I'm too lazy to wait until someone translates the other one.
Thx for the translation.

 

[Psychronia]

So really, this whole thing was him getting played and baited into exposing himself. Cruel.

 

[TurokShadowbaby]

STOP
MAKING
FUN OF HIM
FOR TRYING
TO
IMPROVE HIMSELF

Usually this high school debut stuff is just one and done in these sort of mangas but literally the author (everyone) is getting on his case about it over and over again. Did the author forget that your entire premise is about second chances? Stop implying everyone who tries to make one is a loser!

Can this guy stand up for his own decision and actually point out to everyone that they're basically mocking him for trying to improve already? And how shitty that makes them look? I honestly hope that only Uta, Reita,and that brown haired chick walk out of this with their trauma resolved.

The story continues... but the whole point of the story is showing that all these perfect seeming people have problems below the surface. And then the MC solves the problems using the power of plot armor and friendship.

[Freestyle]

Its kinda like a less fleshed out version of Chiramune, still it was better than I thought

Story from LN 2 is serialised under a new subtitle.
iirc, this one changed artist midway, probably problem with schedule.

The latest LN is vol 9. The official English edition had caught up.
The JP release had been slowing down. Prime suspect being Gakuen Idolmaster. Amamiya is one of the main scenario writers along with OreImo’s author and Excalibur Academy’s author.

I actually came to like this one better than post vol-6 Chiramune.
Chiramune’s prose is more intricate and very high attention to details, but it got caught in the trap of harem story. Also that author can’t seem to convey idea under 400 pages.

Haibara’s case

Spoiler

He choose between the girls early, and he live with the consequences of his decision rather than trying to ask for more time to weight which girl is the better deal. Also no being “afraid of hurting her feeling” and delaying the inevitable for before the series end as reward to readers. So in a way, it’s kind of like Blue Box in that part.
There’s also part where later he realised Miori is his first love and she also loves him. At that time he already choose Hikari, so he stood by his choice rather than having bullshit like “I have made an uninformed choice, can we reset our relationship so both of you can sales pitch yourself to me again and I can see who is better deal?”.

He had girl friends who are non-romantic to him. Story has time for plots with the bros, not just the hoes. And also have time for aspiration beyond just romance. All those are also better separated, rather than mixed as undertones, so it’s easier to enjoy.

Spoiler: Question tho

was he already dating Hikari when he figured out he was in love with Miori? Cuz if he wasn't...there's no reason to not go after her instead really? At least not a good reason. If he was dating her then he's kinda shit out of luck, it would kinda be a dick move to break up because you found out you also liked someone else, especially because it's not like him loving Miori means he doesn't also like/love Hikari, just that he does so less.

That’s the story for the volume after Natsuki choose Hikari. They are already officially dating, and recognised by the whole school.
So despite the story is about having second chance in life, in this matter, the die is cast.

I also like his answer a lot. The conflict in that arc is Miori blaming herself and try force herself to forget the feeling so she doesn’t become a thorn in Natsuki and Hikari’s relationship. It caused new problem. Natsuki instead tells her it’s not her responsibility to protect his relationship. That’s his responsibility as Hikari’s boyfriend to be loyal and not get swayed by other girl. Miori can hang around them until she find closure for her own feeling at her own terms.

Also, everyone in the group now knows. Hikari is well aware her boyfriend’s childhood friend likes him; and Miori often got teased about being losing heroine (Miori already resigned to her fate getting that label).

Bro do u know where can i read the novel for free

 

[ss4chris]

I came from the anime title. how does the manga say end but to be continued when you get ot the end wtf..

anways I hope the anime is good or i guess its like mostly all anime romance anime where its just there to promote the original content.

 

[Oobaka-san]

Two things. First, in response to a post someone made in 16 that they meant for this chapter, no, girl or boy, even if someone decides "this person is just a friend" that doesn't mean it's the end. Most of the best relationships start out as dear friendships, and it's really up in the air. It can be easy to see someone as completely outside the "possible romantic interest" pool for any length of time only to realize that this has changed. It could be a long series of events and experiences, or even just one thing, and suddenly everything can change color.

Also, concerning spoiled content...

Spoiler

Honestly, while I'm glad this isn't going the harem route, I don't really like the idea of "a guy chose a girl so it's that girl period". Sure, you shouldn't dump a girl right after you confessed to her. But that doesn't mean that just because you chose to pursue a particular girl you are going to stay in love with her and can't ever drift apart or break up. Boyfriend/girlfriend isn't the same thing as husband and wife. You don't need to go through some legal process to break it off. So in short, just as I don't think a person should give up just because his crush said "I can't see you as anything beyond a friend", a person shouldn't treat high school lovers as an eternal unbreakable bond. In short, it shouldn't be so cut and dry as choosing between "I chose this path and I'm not going back on it even if I realize I'm actually in love with someone else" and "new information just came up so I need to weigh my options". It's best to stay with Hikari for a while, and Miori should back off on that account. But it's not like either one of them has to treat this as the absolute end. If this was real (minus the time jump), it wouldn't be at all surprising if Natsuki broke up with Hikari after a few months, by which time Miori might have a boyfriend, and things might go like that for a while with both finding new passions and new loves while holding a certain small nostalgic warmth in their heart until some day, maybe in college or even out in the workplace, their stars align and they try to really take a chance. At which point things might not work out, or they might end up happily married for the rest of their lives.

Also, translation Nazi coming out here, but "you're probably also scared since everyone is seeing your real personality" is completely off. What she says is she panicked and let out her "honne". Honne, lit "true sound" is the literal opposite of "tatemae", the numerous filters, phrasing choices, subtle hints, etc. that the Japanese use to be as courteous and indirect as they can while getting the gist across; "honne" is their true feelings or intent without any such filters. So in short "Oh, sorry. I was so surprised I forgot to sugar coat the truth." Thus why he says not to be so loud and she follows up with "Ohh, sorry, but this was just so unexpected is all. I'm really happy you feel that way......"

Again sorry, I just sometimes get prickly about translations. Especially in spots that are a little significant.
