Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi o Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 44 - An Ordinary Day with Someone at Rock Bottom

[GennArc]

Secondly, I didn't even consider that Yuu might have meant he was sorry for confessing before telling Hikari the whole truth. Lol maybe port is right that I don't have media literacy ahahaha.

It's still just my guess. From meta standpoint it's probably left ambiguous purposely to have Hikari doubt everything.

 

[peortega1]

And that's what I mean. He's been in love witu Hikari since at least partway through middle school. But he was forever passive and self-deprecating and relegating himself to the sidelines by labeling himself "unworthy".

If he's going to make half-hearted attempts and then simply bail without pushing through, then his growth potential as a character is very much in danger of stagnating, because he's just repeating the same pattern of behavior.

Again, because his base personality is passive for default. If you read Maruto previous works -Saekano, White Album 2-, or Shikimori-san, the direct inspiration of Maruto for this work, the message is about ROLE REVERSAL
All Maruto male MC started being submissive characters and ended being submissive characters. Their growth is in the opposite direction than do you want.
The series message is about is fine a boy would be submissive and passive if he gets being in a relationship with a girl disposed to takes the lead
He was passive because Hikari didn´t love him in middle school, period. And of course, Hikari unawarely sending him to the brotherzone worsened his inferiority complexes.
And he doesn´t flee in this situation. He wrote to Hikari, tried to talk with her, and she is avoiding and ghosting him. All this after PUNCHING him in the gymnasium. So, other mysandric poster with zero media literacy, other mysandric post supporting violence against men.

I mean, Yuu himself doesn't elucidate.

I think part of the point of how it's presented is to be ambiguous, because it reinforces Yuu's character of "simply disengaging" and accepting without pushing back.

I read it as, he gives a vague "I'm sorry" because the act of simply apologizing is easier than having the full discussion for him, which is why he sends it over text and doesn't attempt to do so in-person.

He attempted to do so in-person, this is the reason why WN chapter specifies all the botherings Hikari had to do it to AVOIDING him during all these 10 days.
If Yuu were so ridicuously passive as all you are saying, Hikari definitely didn´t need to take all these botherings who even Haru and Yuki noticed it.

Ah, so misandry is where we're at, got it.

Guess I'll throw in the towel, then. Enjoy your time with this series. Sorry to step on your turf here, I'll not be bothering y'all here any further.

Curiously, I´m agree with this. These are short and ambiguous words from Yuu, more an invitation to talk than a real explanation. Is like him pressuring Yami in chapter 28, he says some things to her, he express his worrying about Yami family situation, but in his shy and careful way. Inviting Yami to being her who really talks about her family.

Basically. This is a series about FEMALE DOMINATION, like previous Maruto works and Shikimori-san. If you doesn´t like that series narrative gender, yes, my counsel for you is drop this series.
Even more if you think Hikari is not who has to take the lead AFTER PUNCHING YUU, so, you are validating VIOLENCE AGAINST MEN
Maruto was anything than subtle with that scene of Yami literally grabbing Yuu for the dick and the balls in the station while she kisses him in chapter 25. Is that kind of things the reason why I say all you doesn´t have media literacy.

 

[story645]

Yuu confessing in a moment of panic was like him deciding he'd make a last-minute effort to pass super hard high school entrance exams in a one-sided attempt to get Hikari to notice him.

Thanks for articulating what I found frustrating about the confession. That yeah it was technically proactive but also a bit off. Which is why Hikari doesn't know if she can trust it, even before Yuu walks it back.

Again, Yuu doesn´t walk in back. GennArc securely is right saying he is apologizing for the very bad moment he chose for the confession, but his words "I sorry to confess you MY FEELINGS" he is still don´t denying he loves Hikari. And the inner thoughts of Hikari don´t question this. Hikari questions Yuu FIDELITY, a very different thing. Fidelity in the present, for certain. Yami definitely confirmed her, at least, she broke with Yuu and is the ex-girlfriend Hikari already suspected it.
This is the reason why Hikari thinks Yuu confesion is false. Because Yami kiss, not because confession itself. She fears being the plan B after Yuu was dumped again by Yami.

 

[GennArc]

Also, looks like Chapter 12.4 just came out. It's also 7 pages. Does anyone know if this came out at the same time as Chapter 44 which might explain why 44 was so short?

It's likely from volume 1 commercial release. I think @Mrson posted the Spanish translation of that chapter a few weeks ago.

Oh I'm not dropping the series, just this comment section.

I like this manga, just not so much the "discussions" it generates here.
So, less headache for you too, I imagine.

 

[wozbond]

Where did Hikari whine about Yuu having a prior relationship?

If not this, then what is she claiming he lied about?

Yuu confessing in a moment of panic was like him deciding he'd make a last-minute effort to pass super hard high school entrance exams in a one-sided attempt to get Hikari to notice him.

Yuu confessing 'in a moment of panic' is STILL 100 per cent more confession than Hikari herself managed. Ridiculous that people whine when Yuu doesn't take action, still whine when he does take action, and yet have no comment when Hikari sits on her arse like a coward.

In that case, you should explain to us, at least, what do you think about the female domination focus and message of this work? I didn´t remember what were your opinions about Yami being so ridicuously the dominatrix of Yuu, literally the only missing part was seeing Yami literally pegging Yuu.
See? You are avoiding the question, exactly like Yuu and Hikari.
All the thing of Yami liking being the dommy girlfriend and Yuu liking being the submissive boyfriend.

Over all in the scene of her paralyzed in the door as a statue while Yami first slaps Yuu and later kisses him. Hikari even now doesn´t realizes that kiss was a SA. And yes, she suspects that was a misunderstanding, but Yami words had to have left it clear for her.
Even her confrontation with Yami, until now the most near to a real bravery Hikari moment, is a scene where Ayami carries the weight of the dialogue, she says almost everything and is very little how Hikari really says, basically limiting herself to respond Yami lies -and doesn´t responding in the points Yami is right, how Hikari never looking Yuu as a boy without Yami relationship with him-.
Literally Hikari only needed put face of a crying dog to make Ayami said all those crackdown.

 

[Tivoli]

The correct spelling is "Liar" btw. "Lier" is an entirely different word.

 

[peortega1]

If there are Eriri fans here, you definitely can identify PATTERNS in Maruto work either.
And yes, helps a lot to have media literacy know the previous words of Maruto. But if you doesn´t know the next names, is very useless argue with you.
A person who doesn´t know the "Eriri Sawamura Spencer" name probably doesn´t mean nothing for you. "Setsuna Ogiso" even less woud mean something for us. "Kyou Nekozaki" is alien language for you.
So, you can start with see those works, as I recommended you in the past, if you want to have really media literacy of these authors and their pro-femdom and pro-role reversal messages.

 

[testro]

Side note: why the fuck is Hikari's father ringing their doorbell to get in?! Dude doesn't have a key to his own house?!!?!?!

Why would you not ring the doorbell? I won't bother unlocking the door with keys if I know someone's home to welcome me in.

 

[ShiroiElTsukai]

Sorry guys, I am currently fighting a pretty bad cold while having to attend work at the same time, I'll reup the chapters on twitter without the typos and have the admin update it... sorry again guys

 

[ShiroiElTsukai]

Quite a lot of typos, lier = liar, soime = some, escuses = excuses, till = 'til (short for "until", after all), etc... =/

Thanks regardless, but surprising.

yeah sorry my guy... currently dying of a cold, I know it's no excuse, I'll do better

After Hikari witnessed Yami kissing Yuu she ran off and waited in a hallway near the gym. She checked her phone and noticed Yuu read her messages to him. When Yuu left the classroom after the whole Yami thing he went looking for Hikari and noticed she was upset. He assumed Hikari was upset because he had promised to hang out with her after her shift so he apologized and said his phone died. That's obviously a lie since Hikari's text show they were read earlier by Yuu. This causes Hikari to start doubting Yuu in addition to what she saw in the classroom.

Later, during Yuu's confession he mentions he's always loved Hikari - based on what Hikari saw earlier, she took this as, maybe not an outright lie but a half-truth. It's this stuff that she's calling out when she calls him a liar.

As to Hikari not confessing - she had mentioned to her friends and in her inner thoughts that the entire plan of inviting Yuu to the festival was to confess to him at the dance. She was going to confess but watching her best friend kiss her crush and then witness the crush ignoring her texts and then lying about it threw a wrench in her plans. Even after that, she took him to the designated confession spot after they danced. She's standing there in front of him thinking about confessing and then she flashes back to Yuu and Yami kissing and decides not to. It's not that she was a coward about it, she had legit reasons to abort the confession plan. In the novelization it goes further with her wondering what was going on with her best friend and her crush. It makes sense that she'd want to talk to Yami first before doing anything but she's interrupted by Yuu confessing to her.

 

[HellJester]

yeah sorry my guy... currently dying of a cold, I know it's no excuse, I'll do better

Dude - don't apologize. We appreciate your efforts. It was easy to interpret.
