This manga has really taken a sudden turn downwards in my opinion.

This manga has really taken a sudden turn downwards in my opinion.

It was always kinda just alright for me. A tad too melodramatic for my taste in recent chapters.

 

[Scipo0419]

What do you mean? One of his internal monologues is literally, "The failure that day, the things they said to me, the wounds in my heart...none of them were going to just disappear."
She didn't say don't just be traumatized, she reassured him she likes him for who he is, and she'll be there for him, and he accepted that he won't just be ok, but he's more at ease knowing he has someone on his side. That's...kind of how you support someone through trauma when you're a teenager that can't do anything about it

Yes, the monologue did say that, but the actions shown were "I won't let my trauma bother me anymore even if the words won't fade."

Which isn't how that works. He wouldn't magically be fine with performing now just because Haimiya said "You're you, and that's all you can be, let's play in the water."

Dragging it out for 50 chapters isn't the way to handle it either, but having him be in a place where he could explain to the band and apologize, maybe have another chapter or two of him coming to terms with that trauma, etc. It was just not resolved in a way that felt meaningfully handled, and it felt very "hand-wavey" imo.

 

[Scipo0419]

he very explicitly said his wounds arent healed but her words will support him learn to read

she also didnt disregard any of his trauma she just expressed how she feels about the parts that relate to her in how its manifesting in this situation

I did read that, but the words and actions don't match. He explained his thoughts and feelings, and she literally went "well, you're you and that's all I care about" and he was fine after splashing around a bit? Like, for THIS interaction? Sure. I buy that. He got it off his chest and his mind off the trauma. But once he's back at school and needing to face the band again he'd be right back to square one because nothing was actually resolved, but the manga hand waved it away like "he's fine now, let's focus on Haimiya now." And that rubs me the wrong way.

Don't you dare give me any sad Haimiya tragedy vibes, manga. Don't you fucking dare.

 

[jnzbtw]

after binging the chapters available up until now, i think this manga is going downhill pretty fast. it was at its best at the start, when it was just the mc and fmc being cute together, but now that the author is trying to insert new characters and drama into the story, its clear she is out of her depth and doesnt really know how to do it. pretty sad, i actually liked it alot when it came out

finna be the next Clannad gng 😭
ref do somthing

My theory is that a close family member is the one who is sick—someone they’ve had to accompany, like their mom or sister—and they have to move for the treatment or something like that.

 

[Skater901]

Time to go to her place and confess!

 

[mc.god]

Well, mixed feelngs here... it was good at start, Kurose genuinely letting out all his feeling was nice , so as the way Haimiya cheered him up.
But then the sudden new drama, that, heavy or light it would be, makes Haimiya appear totally inconsistent:

• "don't run from yourself or from the other band member, tell them honestly how you really feel"
• she disappears leaving the bomb to sensei to deliver.

Don't know if it's a health matter or a moving away thing (Haimiya staring at the airplane can be an hint), but i'm starting to get tired from how many stories that started very good end up derailing for unwanted or bad managed drama sake when getting around chapter 40, is it some kind of authors curse?

 

[XviaXilef]

They can’t do this to me bro
I’m gonna cry
It all makes sense
Too much sense
Such a hopeful chapter where it feels resolving
Such peak art and beautiful smiles
Just to reverse it immediately
The good news before bad news

 

[AnglicAshes]

Time to payback the kindness!

Thanks for the TL

edit: Since I got some valid comments I want to clarify. My issue isn't that Haimiya was able to help him take a step forward and feel better in the moment. I also acknowledge that he says the wounds will remain. My issue is that the story moves on so quickly into Haimiya's issues without letting Kurose's situation fully resolve so it feels like a hand-wave of his situation. Literally one more chapter showing him talking to the band, expressing his sincere apology and explaining the situation (pushed forward and supported by Haimiya) and them removing the self inflicted pressure by emphasizing that they want to play with him because they like him and have fun playing with him but he shouldn't feel pressured to play and if he's not sure they'll figure something out, or something, then lead into Haimiya's situation, and give Kurose one more "i'm so nervous/trauma response" moment right before performing but seeing Haimiya in the crowd and his bandmates supporting him lets him perform and kill it would close out both arcs perfectly (imo) by letting both characters have enough time and respect shown for their respective situations. As it stands, Kurose's trauma feels like "we developed Kurose" and more like "This was just a stepping stone to move the story along" and that makes his trauma a plot device and not a character trait. I dislike that is all.

I kinda get where you're coming from, but I think it is pacing/framing thing.
My guess Watermelo is going to do a "Say Anything..." type performance for her wherever she's at.

Brooooo don't give her some kind of health thing out of nowhere come on

It turns out...Haimiya has an allergy to culture.

Oh damn, I just realized I never once questioned why she spent so much time in the infirmary.

I think more "why she was allowed to spend so much time there"

Mio did something amazing here; one of the kindest things you can do for someone who's feeling confused and under pressure is to show feet.

Yom sock account spotted.

 

[requriedsignup229]

good hope she dies so the plot can be a bit more interesting

 

[SemIdeia]

The author wouldn't just have Haimiya staring at a plane out of nowhere. It's definitely not a health issue, but something about leaving the country or something similar. PLEASE DO NOT BE A HEALTH CONDITION

 

[chiga-kun]

author's mind: "no end for bs dramas hahaahaaaahahahaha"

 

[CrimsonComet3]

Oh fuck off

 

[Natsuki_Subaru_Flugel]

Damn Haimiya is such a wonderful character! I love how author wrotes her!
But I dont love how author writes the actual story...

But it kinda was obvious something is on with Haimiya since the start of the manga cause she is a lot absent at school.
So it may be either ptsd from her past school (I wish it is) or a fucking trauma illness/disease/cancer or whatever shit.... hope its not...

Meeting Kurose is the reason she comes to school often right now so author is writting some tragic plot to her and upon that.... RIGHT AFTER SHE HELPED HIM FROM HIS PTSD!

Did we not saw that some years ago already?....

 

[ddulz]

Oh man, why they dont wait until this whole festival and music issue solved? Why shoving this now? Axe swinging around?
