Hope You're Happy, Lemon - Ch. 45

Mangaka took a week break to reevaluate life and decided to give us plot progression?? He’s bored of the beach??

 

[mgRdr]

Uh, when's the author gonna tell us why Lemon broke up with Sunao?

Here, I did the usual bitching for you so you don't have to

 

[Remissio]

Please. We need her to learn so that we progress through the inévitable l'article reveal plotline into the questioning whether it's Lemon or Sunao she likes (Lemon in Sunao, Sunao in Lemon, Sunao or Lemon) which we glossed over with the best friend but you can't gloss over with the ML. This gives me hope for plot progress.

At some point in the story we started to forget the whole cheating with 3 other guys bit

Why are the comments bitching even when we get what they complained about not getting in the story this whole time?

anyway, I really liked this chapter, because it is plot progression, but also it continues that slow pacing chill vibe, there is character work done casually before something hits suddenly in the end with Kogahara seeing 'Lemon' acting a bit different.

It only took her 45 chapters to suspect anything!

It wasnt forgotten, heck it was literally brought up a handful of chapters ago when Sunao said he realized she was lying about it.

People hyper focus way too much on it. She lied to break up with him, probably because of bullying, he now realizes it was a lie. Its not some dropped storyline.

It is still something in the background but its not as important as some readers seem to want to believe. Its a starting hook not the main thing.

Okay, but Prez without glasses is throwing me off. He looks like a totally different person.

 

[hentako]

I like Prez, he's a pretty cool guy.
Also, tease-mode Natsumi CUTE!

I wouldn't call thing only being mentioned again like 30-35ish chapters into the story as "wasn't forgotten". It's the root of their whole conflict and dynamic, I think it deserves getting a proper exploration and path to conclusion throughout the story rather than just a mention done as an afterthought like this. The MC's gynophobia in Minamoto-kun Monogatari pops up in my mind as an example of it being done correctly.

And like, if it's not as important as the readers believe it to be then why are they not dating atp?

Is it cheating if your gf falls in love with you while you're in a different body?

I mean, Sunao certainly forgot LOL

Is it cheating if your gf falls in love with you while you're in a different body?

No, not if you seduce your gf in a different body. This has been explained in greek myths before.

it would be so funny if this suddenly goes the yuri route

 

[ribbitribbitsaga]

I knew it.

Except Sunao keeps Lemon's body and hooks up with Kogahara. Leaving Lemon and other dude for the BL fans.

The real cheating with 3 other guys was the friends we made along the way.
