Ichiban Tookute, Chikai Aitsu. ~Kimi ni Koi o Suru nante, Arienai Hazu Datta~ - Vol. 5 Ch. 45 - The Seasons Turn

[Ciberr]

This left me so unsatisfied. The first 20 chapters or so were pretty good but then the drama came and ruined it.
In fact the other love interests got dates while she didn't, they didn't do anything couple worthy.

Thanks for translation, hopefully I'll forget this manga soon.

 

[Zatheus]

This was wholly unsatisfying.

Dragged on way too long in the second half, and under other circumstances I probably would've rated it lower, but because it reminded me so much of my own experience a few years back and got me crying, 8/10

Wish I'd gotten my own chance to say "I'm sorry"

 

[yedciak]

THATS IT??? NOT EVEN A KISS IN THE MOUTH NOT EVEN MORE CHAPTERS OF THEM EXPLORING THEIR RELATIONSHIP WTF WAS THAT DUDE?!?!?!?



thx for the dump of chapters finxymus you goated with the sauce

In the LN there is a little bit more to the story. Is more like an epilogue. They even sleep together

 

[Msaid08]

Thanks for the translation!

First half is a 9 but second half of the manga is literally 2, maybe even 1. So 7 is generous for this.

 

[Hootanic]

People say it's cliché, but I've know people like this. They hurt themselves so unnecessarily and never get back the time they've lost. Love is a tragedy sometimes

 

[coffeecanner]

Too bad the mangaka didnt adapt segg scene

I remember they did it in light novel version, described clearly

 

[Rickgreyrat]

Long distance relationship??

 

[ccpparrot]

Thank you so much for your translations.

I honestly don't get why people blame the mc at all , yes he avoided her ,but she was the one who badmouthed him before her friends , learned he knew about it and didn't do anything about , instead all the friends and mc solved her problem for her . From my pov , every decision the mc took seems realistic and sensible for a normal person. Hearing people take about you behind your back is horrible experience for anyone , everyone telling him , it's not her intentions is ridiculous , intentions be damned when you openly put down another person especially someone you say you love. If she can't openly defend atleast his character, then what's the point of her being in love at all , she feels so superficial in her love

Her friend and his best friend both told him to talk to her about it to see if what she said is actually what she meant, but bro was too much of a pussy to be direct about it.
So think about it like this, he heard her and allegedly already believes in what she said is what she believes, so confronting her at worst only affirms that she does in fact believe that...which changes nothing aside from a slight sting since he's already operating under the premise that what she said is her true feeling
Now, her friend and his best friend are basically telling him that she just lied in the moment to avoid her friends pestering her...and instead of believing in them, he decided that confronting her would hurt him too much so he just said nah and then dipped to the opposite side of Japan for uni....bruh

Ok I admit MC sucks at communication, but overall FMC didnt change at all till the end and was the worst, MC talked after 10 chapters of other people saying HE has to do shit. FMC realized the problem and what she did wrong and didnt do anything, But to me I wouldnt blame him if he stopped talking too her after that, only reason I find that he shouldve talked earlier was cause he cant move on.

I was only continuing to read it cause I was waiting for FMC to clear it up, and for me 100% of whats caused this misunderstanding is her. Whether or not MC could have talked earlier to get this over, I still think its her mess to clean up not his. Its not about them being bad at talking, its about her being so bad at communicating that it impedes her from taking any responsibility.

Even if it was about earlier for MC learning FMC likes someone and didnt communicate, for me its not something I would pry into and is not even possible to bring up in conversation. And if he should've confessed after the mascot scene, I feel like he has a lot of variables as to why id understand not doing it, introverted, unsure feelings, inexperience (in love), a friend so he should support, FMC literally crying cause she was still thinking of someone else, studies, is a dude, but yea I couldnt blame him for not confessing the real point I was making earlier is FMC did a bitch move -> Doesnt apologize first -> MC has to mend it himself despite being the victim.

what was she supposed to do?? The MC was actively avoiding her, and the only people the FMC could rely on ALREADY talked to him and he STILL didn't give a shit. What is she supposed to do? Stalk him to his house and force him to listen to her? From her perspective, she hurt him deeply and was avoiding her and that's his choice, she didn't want to force herself onto him. Effectively, she was willing to choose to sacrifice her own feelings because she knew she hurt him.
Mind you, this is AFTER he was avoiding her without her knowing why AND him lying as to WHY he was avoiding her. Before she knew why, she was basically just being a nice friend and believing that he was just focusing on his exams.

Her reasoning at the time made sense. She didnt have any way to fix the rumors and she felt if she were honest with her friends in that moment then the bully would have escalated, and Japanese bullying can get pretty intense so thats a reasonable thing to fear. And she tried to talk to him multiple times, but he kept brushing her off and avoiding her

Thx you so much for this mass release, you saved us from this bitter arch. Kitaoka should try harder if she really care, I'll say Kitaoka 60% and MC 40% at fault, and i am being generous to her.

What a letdown of ending. Feels rather forced, if you ask me.

What more should she have done?

 

[ddulz]

What more should she have done?

I get it she have to lie in front of her circle, but when she realize he knew about it, she have a duty to say sorry, assuming she care about him. Sure MC could do something too, that is why i said 60:40 blame for each other.

3 men in an orgy is less gay than the communication skills of these main characters. Even Komi can communicate better.

 

[caiqueag]

Meh

Yeah, now we're suppose to different between what ones says and what one means everytime huh ?? His friend are pretty lame for not standing up for him and trying to act like she is the victim her , she is a coward and y'all are acting like it's his fault . If she didn't say anything, then we could argue but she actively put him down behind his back , his friends and their advice be damned lol , that's a loads of bs . What's next she will bully him but he's supposed to understand that she didn't mean to bully him at all , but because of her friends he bullied him . That's lame way to defend someone , y'all giving her a free pass cause she is a wimp who can't even say hey I like him , don't bad mouth him , that's all she had to say , she did exactly the opposite. But y'all want him to bend backwards and give up his self-worth for her , just cause she can't even defend him against two obnoxious classmates .

There is no one bullying her , no??she thinks they'll bully her if she stands out that's all , she could've just diverted the topic or something instead she joined them . She is a coward that's all , evryone expects him bend backwards for a mistake she made. Of course he would avoid her , why would anyone give time of their day for someone who talks behind their back , it's not like he heard a rumor or something, he heard it out of her own mouth

Sometimes people lie, it's your job as someone with ears and a brain to try to figure out whether or not it's a lie based on your past experience. Considering their relationship thus far, my first thought isn't "Oh, so all that time we spent together she totally hated me and was just spending time with me out of pity or whatever", it just doesn't make any sense. The fact that he immediately believed it is honestly kind of crazy to me. It's extremely clear from his perspective (imo) that she was just lying because her friends were teasing her. Her only real mistake is not being upfront with them and telling her friends that she likes him, that's it. But you do have to keep in mind, she said it under the belief that it was ONLY her friends hearing it...
Anyways, ultimately the MC is just a massive pussy and ran away instead of just directly confronting her. Even IF she actually meant what she said, directly confronting her is STILL the best move. Confront her, if she still says she dislikes you, THEN drop her from your life and move on. Avoiding her is just stupid af.
