Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san - Vol. 8 Ch. 49 - Teach me your preferences.

[DaBlackMamba]

Why because I'm hoping for an interesting plot twist? I like to see stories that occasionally break the mold.

I'm pretty sure we all know how this ends Shirota and Takamine get together.

Nothing you said would be an "interesting plot twist", you just don't like the FMC so you want her to suffer. That doesn't make the plot more interesting, it just satisfies your hate boner.

So we agree to disagree. I think it would be interesting you do not. I dislike Takamine so far but hey maybe the author's story will change that in future.

[raidensnakeezio]

jeez take the fucking hint she's way more perverse than you

 

[Thyme.Minister]

The notorious "blackmail in chapter one" is actually fucking irrelevant at this point and only you rabid autistic keep crying about it.
It was basically forgotten in chapter 2 already and it could easily be dismissed as an early misstep of the author.

No, her issue is that she keeps using abusive wording toward him as a coping mechanism even when she should get the hint that this is her chance to make the relationship progress she so OBVIOUSLY crave for.

And of course he's not that much better, being arguably THE most spectacular example of spineless dense protagonist Una genre that is already overcrowded with them.

except, its nearly impossible to forget because that blackmail is the entire catalyst for their relationship in the first place. and its not like Takamine's personality from chapter 1 has changed much at all. in fact, i'd say its gotten worse because she's only cucking herself, because NOW she apparently likes him, by acting the way she does. its the whole reason he's so timid around her, because she might just pull another blackmail out of her hat with how unpredictable she is. and you might say she definitely won't, but given this is how she expresses her "tsundere" side, i wouldn't put it past the author to have her do something like that again...

She likes him, and yet, as you say, is nothing but abusive towards him. MC has to change, but FMC has to also reflect and change her approach, and that clearly hasn't happened yet. I'm not even optimistic about how their relationship will unfold. at best, the rape blackmail was for cheap shock value, and at worst, it's an abusive manipulative chokehold paired with humiliation. who would be rooting for her?? I wouldn't blame anyone for dropping this after the first chapter.

 

[Thyme.Minister]

I don't believe I said or implied any of that, but sure go off. Also, ya'll need to get over Ch 1 by now, clearly the MC has. For as stupid as he's been, he seems to understand (unlike the rest of you idiots) that the rape stuff was never gonna happen regardless of if he said yes or no. Like come on now, we've seen her character, if you think she was gonna go through with that then you're the brainlet.

in that case, the decision of the author to go the route of "rape blackmail" to start the relationship between the two characters was done in horrible taste, and utterly unnecessary. most people dropped this manga after barely the first chapter due to that. was it worth it to the author to have made that blackmail the catalyst for their relationship? the answer is no, and yet the damage is already done. not to mention, the FMC's personality has not changed from the first chapter to now.

yeah she's more "tsundere" about the MC now, but does that change how she talks to him or treats him? no. because how she is now, is exactly how she was in the first chapter, where she places that ultimatum unto him. of course people would be still hung up on that part. The only way to rectify that, is to have the FMC reflect on that moment where they first met, to think about why they have this relationship, and actually start changing herself in the same ways that the MC is slowly learning to change.

Takane has liked Shirota for years already in-story. There's literally a chapter showing how they first met as little kids before she got her power. Also, Shirota doesn't even think about what happened in chapter 1 or else it would've come up when Takane tried to fire him as a closet in chapter 47.

Sure it's possible. Have some willpower and awareness.

This story is basically one step short of a nonsensical doujin. It's practically a comedy so why would you take these characters remotely seriously? You're just asking to be infuriated.

I'll call it how I see it. The story COULD have been a nonsensical doujin, but the fact is that it is not, because the author is clearly communicating to us to believe in the characters' progression in their relationship. Its not infuriation to wonder why the author is spending so much effort into only NOW making the characters grow when they aren't addressing the original premise of the story. Have some awareness.

which chapter was that again? I remember skimming thru a bit near the middle due to the long hiatus.

Chapter 12.

I believe it implies they met once and doesn't really indicate that she was in love with him. Because for Shirota it's not a good memory since she and the cat dissappear if I'm remembering the chapter correctly.

Shirota himself says that they'd been meeting up in the park to take care of an abandoned cat, so it definitely wasn't just meeting "once." They're also shown having some sort of discussion that clearly upsets Takane as she's shown running away crying.

 

[dementati]

I feel like every single chapter for about 5 volumes has ended with "I didn't know what it meant at the time, but I would soon find out". Bro. When? When are you figuring it out? When is soon? WHEN?!

 

[JustAU-]

I hate female main love interest Tsundere's because the story end up being dragged out like this

 

[TUN27]

I put this manga on hold like a few years ago because the update is really slow so I let the chapters build for a bit. But then I just completely forgot this manga even exist. I started reading this because a lot of manga with the fmc teasing mc theme started to pop out at that time and I just went with the flow of things. Unlike Uzakichan or takagisan even nagatoro the chapter release for this manga is just really fucking slow. I just came back because of announcement for the anime adaptation to just catch up and see if this has any you know big development. Look like the Mc has not change along with the fmc. The premise of the manga is still the same with a little bit of more blushing I think. At this point I think MC is a masochist for sure and the author intended to keep it that way. It is pointless to think or even hope the mc going to grow any spine cuz he like this kind of relationship with the fmc and I think the reason author even wrote this manga is just to express his love for what kind of kink this manga portrays. Anyways take all of this with a grain of salt or maybe a spoonful salt.
