Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san - Vol. 8 Ch. 48 - Stroke me

[Heika]

Thanks for the translation. This is one series I really look forward to after how long it wasn't translated.

I'm curious where you guys get the raws from because the raw site listed on the MD page only goes to 47.

I'd argue with Eri that as long as Takamine is happy then my feelings are irrelevant. Sacrificial love is a thing and we see it in other manga/anime/stories with childhood friends who step aside when they realize they aren't the one an MC loves. It would be an interesting twist to see an MC step aside so the other MC can find love with someone else. Though this is an ecchi rom-com so we know the MC's will get together.

i hope shirota doesnt get in his own way... i also hope the president doesnt get in her own way

Hasn't the president been getting in her own way since like forever?

 

[Thugz4Less]

Do Japanese people just like getting cucked?

I'd argue no. Because at least our MC isn't getting turned on by his own NTR nightmare.

get in her own way any more excuse me

 

[Selfisch]

get in her own way any more excuse me

Now it's a statement I can agree with

Eri is that gay best friend they tell you not to worry about

Being a horny monkey is the only thing missing on this protagonist to be just as bad as Rental Girlfriend's protagonist.

Being a horny monkey would actually benefit this dude. He's so deep in his self-loathing that he can will himself into not being aroused by his crush literally sitting on his face wearing a reversed t-back. He literally CAN NOT IMAGINE being intimate with her on his own terms. If he were wrapped just a little less tightly, he could respond appropriately. (Even given the first chapter here.)

That's what Eri is obviously trying to kick-start in him. Maybe getting to second, even if it's just involuntarily with his lesbian osananajimi, will do it. Or maybe we just got some odd fan service.

Did you read rental girlfriend? being a horny monkey with cuck delusions isn't a good thing.

I definitely did not imply he should emulate all of that bipolar dude's traits, but being a little more accepting of his own masculinity in ways that don't require psychiatric meds to deal with everything else in his head would not hurt.

What I meant is that he already has all the other traits of that terrible protagonist, and the only thing missing is to be a "horny monkey". Being a horny monkey wouldn't give him the courage to do anything. He would only be horny for absolutely anything and have his cuck delusions that he already had a few times. What you are saying that would be good for him is self-confidence.

i mean, thats kind of true

Clear writing: "I just want her to be happy, even if that means her being with someone else"

Comments: "AH YES SO HE MUST BE A CUCK OF COURSE"

Yall motherfuckers never had an unrequited love, huh? Good lord

 

[dementati]

Man, the dialogue in this chapter had like no substance. Eri just went like "I know you're not confident, but be confident" with Shirota responding "I dunno... But yeah... But no..." over and over and over. Nothing constructive was said, no progress was made. Ugh.

 

[PhantomReaper101]

Walked by her gravestone a while ago, it had a picture of her and looked like a big foot indent on her face, weird

This gave me a good chuckle. But this is the comment section we all share one brain cell, two brain cells at most.

Eri’s GF deserves so much better
