Hajimete no Gal - Ch. 190 - My First Time Summoning a Spirit

Spoiler: Why, Meguru Ueno?

Why, Meguru Ueno?


I’m losing hope,

Meguru Ueno—

a hope once bright,

now dimmed and trembling

like a dying ember

in the cold grasp of night.



I can’t,

I mustn’t,

I won’t—

surrender to this decay,

this slow erosion

of something once radiant,

now shadowed by your hand.



I refuse,

I resist,

I react,

I yield,

I translate,

and still, the question lingers:

Why?

Why? Why? Why?



Why this descent into sorrow,

this deliberate unraveling

of what was whole,

fragile but shining?



Why do you twist the threads

of Junichi and Yukana’s bond,

warping their love,

once woven with sincerity,

now frayed and unrecognizable?



Is it greed?

Is it profit?

Do you spill their story's lifeblood

to gild your pockets,

trading their depth

for fleeting glimmers of coin?



Why?

Why must gold

triumph over soul?

Why do flaws multiply,

like cracks in a mirror,

shattering their reflection

into irretrievable fragments?



Why this destruction,

this methodical decay,

this quiet assassination

of something beloved?



When will you stop,

Meguru Ueno?

When will your hand,

once the architect of their world,

release its grip on the scaffold

that now crumbles beneath them?



Let them go.

Let them rest.

In oblivion lies

their only salvation—

a peace you no longer grant.



Your hand,

Meguru Ueno,

that once breathed life

into their love,

now becomes the blade,

each stroke etching

their inevitable demise.



Yet even as hope flickers,

a faint light still remains—

a stubborn ember

that refuses to fade,

that longs for you to relent,

to redeem what has been lost,

to heal the wounds you’ve carved.



That is why I still translate,

why I still believe—

but I’m losing hope,

Meguru Ueno—

Why, Meguru Ueno?

Spoiler: Translated version of the above for Gen Alpha

The manga is getting even worse, bro. WTF, how was the ninja crap not the bottom?

Ok so uh, I have finished the anime but hasn't caught up to the manga, Im ok with spoilers so I skipped ahead to this latest chapter but I didnt know the series has stepped into supernatural genre, what the heck is going lmao

 

[not_yamato]

I have absolutely no idea what even is going on with this series anymore, I'm just here for the boobas.

yeah, now the plot is whatever (the only consistent thing is how he can make Junichi worse and keep Yame on the background).
Gyaru Sen it's his best story by far

beware, this manga is only for those who enjoy suffering but the type of suffering changes every month and somehow it never stops

Start the manga from the first chapter, read it until the college arc starts and pretend it ends there. It's the best way to enjoy the series.

alternative, start from chapter 104 and only ever read the last page to see the translator slowly losing their minds (fully lost by now)

Not even a 2 hours long YouTube video won't resume all the shit that's happening during those past half decade.
Also if you're coming from the anime, I recommend stopping at chapter 126, where the high-school arc really end.
If you're a masochist, continue to the latest chapter.

It got to a point where I am more enthusiast reading the TL Notes than the chapter itself.

I honestly don't even read the manga anymore, I just speed scroll through the pages and get to the real meat of the story - the comments

Same! I've stopped ~25 chapters ago and now I'm only looking at credit page and comment section, lol.

 

[Late_Komei]

Man, oh man, what's going on?

Honestly to be fair, I only started at the last 20~ chapters to see what this manga is about since this is the same guy who made
Gyaru Sen. There was a legit ghost girl in that manga there so maybe I shouldn't be confused seeing paranormal activity here?

 

[RWorld]

Am I even reading the same manga anymore? Seems like the author is going to write about everything and anything now...except let the MC get laid.

 

[Darklight99]

This is why I preferred Gyaru Sen, that was ridiculous but at least it has something. This is just nothing.

DOn't worry we also have no idea...

just the author doing whatever he think off for his paycheck . Also, the tag romance doesn't work well post highschool time

 

[Graywing]

At this point it looks like the author is doing anything to get this axed. Seems like he's still upset that his elf manga got axed but this kept going and his other manga also seems like it might go nowhere. Thanks for the chapter!!!
