Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san - Vol. 19 Ch. 140 - On that day... I... met... Senpai...

[draxdeveloper]

Why do I feel she's gonna lose, lol.

because I feel they will both lose, ignore their promise and start to date anyway

 

[telefonevoador]

AHHH!
Holy crap, what a way to revision the mood of the first chapters. Very well done, I'm impressed 👍🏾

 

[draxdeveloper]

We've started to read this series just as a romcom story with a cheeky tanned JK kouhai, but seeing the story show more depth and incorporating genres as the story progresses is so fantastic and makes me feel like I'm being rewarded as a loyal reader. Kudos to Nanashi.

to be honest. I first few chapters of the manga drove me away. The anime bring me back. The story got better but the first few chapters, even more the first version is... Complicated.

I feel a bit sad for Orihara, tbh. Shikki and the other two girls are the only ones cheering for her (one because she's neutral and the other two just to tease Tororo).

and she got no one she can call close friends either, the only connection she have are the other girls in the same club and nagatoro as rival

Yeah... It's make me feel divided.
In one hand, Orihara deserves waaay more than Nagatoro in other hand I don't want their confession taking any longer.
I mean, like Nagatoro saying Hachi keep trying so he deserved the second place and even surpassing the rival.
Nagatoro dropped martial arts for a long time for a silly reason and didn't care about it.

 

[luigiymario2]

It's cute how she basically was into Senpai from the start lol

 

[rumirumirumi]

I think Orihara gets Dq'd after getting frustrated at Senpai's love for Nagatoro

 

[Lustrist]

almost forgot how normal yoshi's ahoge looked

 

[AkodoRyu]

140 chapters in and we finally learn why she liked him from the beginning

Wasn't it obvious from like first or second chapter? We didn't know about judo and her background, but the fact that she was attracted to Senpai because he was trying his best, even if he was mocked, or the results were poor, was virtually spelled out.

The tone changed when Nanashi found their idea for the story, moving from doujin to serialization, so less bullying and more pranks, clumsy flirting, etc. But the main attraction vector was always there.

 

[AkodoRyu]

Why do I feel she's gonna lose, lol.

One can only hope. I think her losing after giving her best after Senpai lost as well. Yet, confession still happening would have been the best resolution to my least favorite trope in romance manga, aka connecting progress to unrelated things, like winning at shogi.

 

[Makinya]

What's sad for Orihara is that she's been wanting to face Nagatoro all this time while Nagatoro isn't really seeing her, she's looking at senpai-kun.
In the end, Orihara is facing her as an athlete, determined to go to the Olympics, while Nagatoro and Senpai kind of "use" her to seal their love. That look from the past chapter could mean that she envies what they have (people said a few comments ago that she seems to be very isolated from the others (the fate of an athlete?)), or that they're disrespecting her hard work and goals. We'll know soon!

 

[OddCupOfCoffee]

It's the power of love vs the power of delaying the confession for another 140 chapters.

I'd say they are evenly matched.

Immovable Object vs Unstoppable Force

 

[Thyme.Minister]

"Nah, I will win"

Orihara: "you were magnificent, Nagatoro Hayase.. I shall never forget you for as long as I live.."

 

[Esper]

Nagatoro gonna score a half point but Orihara will take it in the end.

 

[r31ya]

Love the fact that the hero is liked by the heroine not just because he is "nice". He have his own struggle, goals, and achievement that are respected by the heroine

 

[Amariithynar]

The chapter where she lays out in her own words what I've been telling the clueless commenters for the past several chapters, lmao. Nice.

 

[nidaime]

Pretty unnecessary sorta retcon of a chapter. Would have been nice if she acknowledged that she was just bullying him at first. Oh well, only a dozen or so more chapters until the confession, guys! For real this time!

Y’all just be using words. This wasn’t a retcon. We never got Nagatoro’s pov of that moment.

 

[AntonSolo]

140 chapters in and we finally learn why she liked him from the beginning

She saw his passion, right there on the pages of his manga...

Orihara: "you were magnificent, Nagatoro Hayase.. I shall never forget you for as long as I live.."

Nagatoro Get Split In Half

 

[AntonSolo]

and she got no one she can call close friends either, the only connection she have are the other girls in the same club and nagatoro as rival

This was the sacrifice she made for the shot at Olympic Glory. She put EVERYTHING on the line for that shot
