Yuu in the next chapter

 

[Cordi1]

what a LIER

 

[peortega1]

For the interested, I can proportionate here several interviews, tweets and statements from Maruto to support all my points and his full support to girls who takes the lead and how he was so cruel with Eriri in Saekano.
He never, never, never, will support a passive girl who never takes the lead, even in a more passive way like Megumi in Saekano -and yes, Megumi is a form to show "in a female version" the passive way of his male MC like Haruki, Tomoya and Yuu, to take the lead-
Equal with Keigo Maki, Shikimori-san author, and, again, according my thesis, the direct inspiration of Maruto to this work -and again, after Keigo decided inspire directly from White Album 2 to his own work-

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?

That chapter has been released for 2 months, since that chapter was translated into Spanish, I don't know but the Spanish community is more active in translating everything

p. 6 "escuses"

ah, the classic. This woman right now does not want your unconditional surrender. She wants explanations, history excerpts, chat logs, error logs, anything and everything to grasp the situation. She doesn't know how painful it will be for her yet, and this is the irony.

Ah, the last page. So bittersweet

 

[story645]

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

Trust I get why, but I like your posts/perspective.

Just like Yuu thought, Hikari will be fine. He obviously knows her better than majority of the readers.

Most readers were arguing some version of its not great that Yuu's taking Hikari's resiliency for granted, not that her resiliency doesn't exist. She can both be fine and be hurt that Yuu assumes she's fine.

She wants explanations, history excerpts, chat logs, error logs, anything and everything to grasp the situation.

Yes, b/c that's how the situation can get to resolution. The current unconditional surrender is leaving Hikari in a stew of confusion and resentments.

 

[peortega1]

She doesn't know how painful it will be for her yet, and this is the irony.

IMO she suspects it, and this one of the reasons about her cowardice, about her practically saying she prefers hear other lie of Yuu and acting how is Ayami never was in their lives, than confront the hard truth like, after all, Setsuna did in White Album 2 (IC) finale chapter.
This is the reason why she AVOIDS Yuu and rejects his invitation to talk where precisely she will have the chance, as Haru did in the inmediately previous chapter, to ask and request all those things that she wants and Yuu are disposed to give to her.

 

[peortega1]

Also, IMO, the two mothers asking Hikari and forcing her to make a promise about visit Yuu house very soon, hehe, is other of his passive plays. He probably asked for help to her mom trying to use her as a middle woman to talk with Hikari.
And yes, this imply he is probably waiting for her too, because securely his mom said to him Hikari did the promise and he expects -so naively- Hikari will fulfill her promise.

 

[peortega1]

Trust I get why, but I like your posts/perspective.

We are still waiting for your (and their) response about the perspective of ROLE REVERSAL/FEMALE DOMINATION.

Most readers were arguing some version of its not great that Yuu's taking Hikari's resiliency for granted, not that her resiliency doesn't exist. She can both be fine and be hurt that Yuu assumes she's fine.

And all we answered to that thing Hikari is in that place because she wants, Yuu is still offer his hand to her and says to be available to talk, and she is who are GHOSTING him, unable to say even a "explain all this Taa-kun! I won´t forgive you so easily!"
If Hikari doesn´t want help, Yuu has to force her, even more seeing how resulted the last time he did precisely that?
Definitely all you guys want other shoujo manga masochist male MC.
So, she is fine, Yuu is right about her (again), she only needs time to process everything, decide takes the lead finally to talk with him or at least appear in front of him and see if he tries to talk with her, and renounce to her pride, and of course, heal her wounds provoked by Yami the enough to ACCEPT Yuu help (and her friends help too).
The problem is when she will does this and if is not too late, AGAIN.
Right now she is basically expecting see Yuu jumping to her window and almost killing himself in the process, like Haruki did with Kazusa in White Album 2.

 

[peortega1]

Just like Yuu thought, Hikari will be fine. He obviously knows her better than majority of the readers.

WN has like %60 more content in it btw. No idea why Yom ignored it and just draw like 2 paragraphs worth

To be fair Yom always did this with Hikari. There is a reason why Hikari chapters in part 1 are so ridicuously short and ommited very important information about her -and Yuu too, for certain-.
While Yami and Haru chapters are much more longer and significative.
Yom seems despise Hikari too, seeing her interaction with Maruto in X comparing Hikari with Eriri from Saekano.

Also, "alone at the rock bottom" lol. What a drama queen. She is neither alone nor at rock bottom. Truly a shoujo heroine of our time.

Definitely it´s not a coincidence are mainly the shoujo fangirls there who are defending Hikari so ruthlessly. Exactly like Eriri fangirls defended her in her moment.

MTL translation about how Hikari is actively AVOIDING Yuu in the Novel Version:

Since that rainy night, everything about my daily life has changed.
In the mornings, I would leave the house 30 minutes later than he was supposed to, so as not to bump into him in front of the house.
Even so, I would carefully search for him on the station platform and on the train, and even delay the train by another minute just to be on the safe side. And so, I would always rush into the classroom just before the bell, and breathlessly reply to the worried Haru and Yuki that it was nothing...
No, my heavy breathing was just a pose.
But they probably already knew that. That I didn't want to talk to them right now.

Yes, Yuu is fully right about her and the ball is in her court now after he sent those LINE messages and, at least, tried to encounter her publicly outside her house.

 

[Flame-2-Haze]

Imagine Yami came for her instead.

 

[outinthegardener]

So, you are basically saying Yuu is right in don´t pressure her more and give her time to process everything and decides to take the lead by herself, not?

I think Yuu is right to give her space, to give her time to process.

For the second thing, I don't have a strong opinion on if he should wait for her to take the lead or not. So long as when/if they do talk, they've had time to calm down and think about things. Maybe Hikari initiates it, maybe their friends initiate it, maybe Yuu actually pays attention to her and gets the timing right (That would be novel of him).

Now, is Yuu showing some emotional maturity here and giving Hikari time to process? I think it's more likely, based on how he is, that he's not thinking about emotional processing. He's thinking he screwed up and she doesn't want him around. The guy who always held back because he thought she was better than him, probably thinks he should hold back because she's better than him. This is a bit of irony, that Yuu is doing the right thing by giving her space, but he's doing it for a poor reason.

Maybe Hikari initiates it, maybe their friends initiate it, maybe Yuu actually pays attention to her and gets the timing right (That would be novel of him).

IMO he is right to wait at least Hikari leaves to avoid actively him and wait for a chance to see her in public. If Hikari is bothering so much for avoid Yuu, is because she knows he is really able to encounter her in a public space and convince her to talk at least, preferably, again, in a public space or his house.
I mean, as a victim of a violent agression from Hikari, Yuu is definitely making the right thing to avoid enter in her house and even more if Hikari parents are not there to protect him.
A boy doesn´t want victim of violence again after being mistreated twice by the two girls of his life? "Meh, is because he is spineless, secure". So, my mysandria accusations are valid.
The poor boy was already very uncomfortable while Haru was lecturing him, he seemed a little kid lectured by his mother, and all this in a public site where he can have at least the minimum security Haru cannot agrede him as Yami and Hikari did it before.
He is in his perfect right to avoid CONFRONTATION and ask Hikari for a civilizated CONVERSATION as the mature teenagers they supposely who are, instead have to endure more insults and physical aggresions from her. Even if he is still uncomfortable talking about this, but he is disposed to respond all the Hikari questions because he thinks, and he is right, is his duty as friend and love interest who confessed to her.
So, is very logical Yuu is trying to look Hikari outside her house and/or waiting for the visit she promised to Yuu mom.

This is a bit of irony, that Yuu is doing the right thing by giving her space, but he's doing it for a poor reason.

Is funny because precisely this would be very typical of him, along this series he always takes the correct decisions but for the wrong or poor reasons. Other thing Takamura shares with his original Expy character Yuu Izumi and Maruto male leads.
His prudence and intuition normally are very precise and accerted.
Right now he is fully right to think Hikari is fine -she almost returned to her mind state before cultural festival catastrophe- even he is wrong to think Hikari is making something to try to save Yami or a thing like that.
And seeing his words to Haru and Yuki and how he is still consider Hikari as a cool girl, he probably thinks she only needs time to want to fix the things with him. Yuu strategy always was give space and time to Ayami to process, open her heart and express sincerely to him, little-a-little, and he probably is following the same strategy with Hikari now.
He apologized and offered his hand again to Hikari. The ball is in her court now.
But, IMO, if Hikari stays forever in this dead point (or if she makes visible signals of feeling really bad and needing active help), he probably would do something. This is the reason why he uses his encounter to Hikari friends as an excuse to write her again and seeing if this finally convinces her to accept his invitation to talk and prove to Hikari all they are genuinely worried for her.

 

[peortega1]

Also, this is not the first time we see Yuu taking the lead in his typical passive and submissive way style. And more logically justified than ever when the result of him being more direct and proactive in the gym, was being punched and thrown to the floor.
So, Yuu returned the ball to Hikari court with his vague and short apologies, and inviting her to talk.
He is repeating his modus operandi with Ayami in chapter 28, he pressures her about her family and invites her to talk about her family problems, saying he is open to listen her, but in his passive way, and letting clear if Yami doesn´t want to talk or give much details ("so, if she says all is right now in her home, she has to be right, not?", securely he thought in the moment), Yuu would respect Yami in her desire.

 

[bdotnupe5]

We still truly at the bottom with this one

 

[mtfunky]

This brother waited 30 full days and nights to drop 7 pages 😂😂✌️if you not sick physically you must be sick and twisted mentally

 

[UnreasonablySaucyConcrete]

I don't know what so many people are smoking, but if I got pushed down and yelled at by someone I just confessed to I'd think I were rejected.

And in being rejected (or what looks like being rejected) in such an emotional way, I'd have assumed the person doesn't want anything to do with me any more, leading me to avoid contact with them in hopes of not kicking the hornet's nest. I can easily see his text to her just being concern as a friend too, not any attempt to patch things up or reach out because he wouldn't know if she's still mad at him.

Idk maybe I'm making a mistake by looking at the events of this manga through my personal lense, but it's all I've got to go off of. I don't know a damn thing about how an actual Japanese school boy would react. Ultimately though I will admit that just reaching out to her (or her to him) properly could solve things way quicker than whatever we'll get in the next chapters. If he tries and she avoids him or screams at him, just bail and he can know she's definitely rejected him and that he needs to move on (not to Yami god no not without a LOT of therapy).

 

[Friendly-Sentence710]

I don't even know why I continue to read this dumpster fire of a series.

because you know there might be a box of fireworks in there.

This brother waited 30 full days and nights to drop 7 pages 😂😂✌️if you not sick physically you must be sick and twisted mentally

7 pages of zero progress (except to shit on the Yuu haters.)
