Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san - Vol. 11 Ch. 68.2 - Become My New Closet (Part 2)

[SrNevik]

Talking down to people who engage with media differently from you because you think they're "wrong" is certainly a choice.

It's great that you can take a series unseriously, but I fail to see the value in badmouthing the way others choose to view it.

Methinks you're taking other peoples' criticism of elements of this story too seriously, if you feel the need to revisit each chapter with the same "holier-than-thou" attitude in the comments like this.

Just enjoy the manga for what it is. You don't have to be a jerk to others for their opinions.

If you think that's being a jerk we'll have to agree to disagree. I can criticize opinions I disagree with and yes we can disagree with how a story is read and it's intents.

I do think it's silly to treat this girl like she's in a drama rather than a slapstick, nonsense rom com that's more akin to edgy comedy about a girl literally changing time with her panties. After all these chapters, I think that's missing the point. There's narrative and relationship progress but it's all comedy. Also, I've left two short comments. Let's not exaggerate.

To be fair this is tagged with drama and slice of life. So expecting some sort of coherent story, character progression and plot progression isnt wrong. I'd also argue that ecchi comedic rom com's manga don't have to be this non-sense, many still manage to have good writing.

This does have character and plot progression but it is mostly focused on its absurd comedy and sexual framing. Also, it's chapter 68. I'd have no issue with some of these comments if this were chapter 8 instead. This has been what it is for 68 chapters and a couple years, yet comments act like they're still surprised. The tags don't mean anything at this point and they are self tagged. The series is a romcom. Good writing is also subjective. This series does what it sets out to do. It's not trying to be more than itself.

All comments are from sociologists and cinema critics or something wut. Yeah and master roshi should be in jail goku is a villain not throwing him to hell.

I know from a doylist

doylist? whats that?

So, that's it ? Idk if this arc give zero development or not, but I think this isn't really zero development. At this point now Takane know that he always thinking and considering some detail about her. But that's it, only that. And that Hina girl need to be punished. Like, wtf she's stalking and spying (?) using hidden camera, challenging Shirota with nonsense competition and she flew as nothing happen. Idk if author was plotting Hina as wingwomen, but she need to be punished. Okay, now we waiting for the next arc.

I have the perfect punishment for Hina: five straight hours of lesbian sex with Takane without orgasming. If she fails, it all starts over until she manages it (spoiler: she won’t lol).

Hi guys so when the next chapter Will be uploaded ?
And this is weekly or not

 

[textadventure]

So, next chapter was supposed to come out on January 22, but nothing happened, I don't see anything new here: https://www.manga-up.com/titles/573/chapters/326419

doylist? whats that?

"Watsonian vs Doylist perspective" - one is about reasons and explanations that characters in their world can understand, another takes into account what happens in the world of the author and the audience. That is, to the question "Why did Sherlock Holmes die in the Reichenbach Fall, a Watsonian answer would be "because Professor Moriarty lost everything and wanted revenge", and a Doylist one - "because the author got eventually sick of writing Sherlock Holmes stories and wanted to get rid of him for good."

So, like, we don't have a new chapter because Takamine's shenanigans finally ruined the fabric of the time and space, and we don't even get to see how it happened, because that moment got erased beyond any repair.

Does anyone know when the next chapter will be released, like Chapter 69 or maybe 68.3?

 

[ShadRealm]

I believe there are three updates that haven't been translated yet, including one that just came out yesterday.

 

[Remedil]

Seeing her ass is the only reason to '''read''' this manga

 

[Rialtoir]

MC still as dense as ever. Even I know what it means (or what comes after) with that kind of underwear

Wouldn't even say he's dense to be honest, everytime he gets what she feels she denies it coldly and even cruelly so he obviously stopped getting his hopes up, she literally does in this same chapter. In the end the bigger enemy to Takamine's feelings is not Shirota being dense, it's her own inhability to either accept her own feelings or at the very least shut the fuck up instead of belittleling him every time he starts seeing their relationship as something with potential

Thanks for the chapter.
I cant believe that we are 6 years into this manga and takamine still pulls the "i see you as beneath me" shtick. I know from a doylist perspective that the target audience of this manga loves to be degraded and that manga authors for some reason are mostly unable to write about a couple thats together, but from a watsonian point of view its really frustrating. Seeing takamine say out loud "yeah its laughable to think id ever love you" while in the same chapter being irritated that he doesnt get that she loves him lowers my opinion of her even more and i didnt know that was possible. Its like she doesnt notice the words she is saying. You could probably make some point about how she doesnt internalize that her actions have consequences because of her ability, but she does understand that veey well, just not with shirota

As expected, shinagashi was not properly punished for her crimes but also not added to the cast permanently cause this manga does not have side characters except the ones introduced for an arc that disappear at the end of it(youd think thatd mean that the main characters would be exceptionally well developed but uhhh). So ig its back to status quo next chapter as always. A real shame, a wingman type character thats almost as insane as takamine was a good chance for a shakeup and maybe some progress.

exactly, too many people jump to call Shirota "dense" since it is a well stablished trope but... he really isn't. He realizes what Takamine feels and every time he adresses it or makes a hint to having understood it she pulls the "how dare you little maggot think I have that gross kind of feelings for you?" and he reacts accordingly by starting to ignore the posibility out of constant and repeated denial of it being available
