You dont do contest to win a girl's heart lol

It makes me so happy seeing how much Uka has grown T^T

 

[Kryspy_Kreme]

Hey, you dog, what do you mean by contest? I like how honest you are but, what do you mean by contest? What would you accomplish from that? Have them go through a difficult break-up just to have her? Is he so honest that he doesn't think things through... Honesty is a double-edged sword, is this guy gonna grow up alright?
Uka's character growth though, I'm gonna cry! My baby!! I feel like a proud parent, tf. She's become much stronger and brighter, and she's able to connect more with people now. 🥺❤

 

[Erinchiii]

😐Totally agree with all of you guys! Like seriously he knows that uka & miyura are a couple and saw that they are very happy and in love with each other so wtf is he doing 🤨 and I know this is the author trying to show us how awesome/hot miyura is but I wish he hadn't accepted it

I just finished binging all the chapters. One thing I wonder is how Takamine is barely there anymore. It just felt like he just disappeared from Kai's friends circle for some reason ._. He was shown approaching Ishimori from time to time (while Kai was able to see them) and saving her that one time when she fainted, but now he's not there anymore. Was he supposed to be the 2nd love interest, but got replaced by the new guy from the other high school or something? ._.

Anyway, I've enjoyed the read. Thanks for scanlating ^^

 

[HahaLala]

@yunii I think Takamine was never a real friend to anyone in that group. He probably enjoyed Kai’s company because he made him look better and it was easier to pick up girls. Kai is a cool/laidback person in general and probably suspected this but didn’t really care either since it pacified his boredom at the time. Their relationship has always seemed superficial to me so it makes sense that it seems like the author “forgot” about him.

I also suspect that Takamine has a crappy home situation like Kai which could also be another reason they ended up being “friends”

 

[ujenny]

takizawa is so cute ughhhh
if he appeared earlier i probably would‘ve rooted for him and uka, but after all kai gave uka the push to become braver so yea

oh just realised that i‘m at the newest chapter )): ahh shouldve waited til this is completed but hm..
thx timeless scanlation for scanlating this story for a long time now<3

 

[Turtleesh]

Yep, not a fan on how they are basically making Uka a trophy for their little gamble. Still, I'm looking forward to how Kai and Uka's relationship will develop during this love rival arc.

Btw, I was so sure that Takamine would definitely become the love rival, just for the heck of it (as in, he would do it out of mischief or something lol). Takizawa is a nice guy overall, tho. I wish somehow he will get a good ending, even if he doesn't end up with Uka.

Thank you so much for the translation!

 

[piapple]

Huh??!!?!? Why would he need to accept the challenge? Dafuq??? What happens if he loses he'll give Uka up? WTF is the point I don't understand!! Is it something like if I win I'll confess to her??
Sora you're cute but I don't understand your logic... she's taken

Also sensei who put that picture up of you 😂

 

[ICYCOZY]

I'm sorry but what does sora think?? That even if he won, uka would just break up with Kai for him?

 

[itsAC1701]

i guess sora just wants to show that if he wins, he's better than kai lol

 

[KILLUA_Vi_BRITANNIA]

Kai
Takamine
Ayumi
Setou

The original squad. What happened to them?

 

[jastranyne]

PFFT when sora was admiring kai and some girl said “he’s asking him out” pleaseeee
I agree with the comments saying that the contest is pointless and stupid. Winning the contest might make you feel better about yourself, but it’s not gonna change the way Uka feels Mister Dog.. Uka better say something cuz this isn’t okay

 

[silvpaula]

it's just so stupid to me how people in manga think they need to compete against someone's partner and be like "i'm better than them!" as IF that would change anything about how the person in question feels about them lmao it's just such an arrogant thing to do, like they really think the other person will just break up because of them, it's so STUPID. and aside from being stupid, it's ridiculous how the feelings of that person don't matter for ANYTHING, apparently, since they think they can just erase it and change directions...

 

[DarknessDragonHak]

I'll never understand or like this whole "I like someones girlfriend so I'm going to compete against them even tho I have no right or reason to do so, just so I can become their boyfriend even tho the girl doesn't even want me because she's happy and loves her current boyfriend"-crap. I mean that's just plain stupid, arrogant and delusional and did I mention STUPID??

 

[Erebov]

"Let's have a contest"? What is she, a trophy? And they're already a couple, the plot really is getting stupid and shallow. The author's really laying it on thick.
