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

[hawk7034]

7 pages. Dawg. Why we even cutting content from the light novel?

Yuu's mom seems to have no clue what her son was up to with yami as well. Not absurd for a teen not to tell their parents about their relationships but that going to be an awkward conversation down the line I assume.

Hikari still being hikari, yuu still not understanding her. Pack it up and move on hikari, for your own sake. Let yuu and yami reunite.

But also, monthly release, 7 pages is a damn joke especially when its the first time we have seen hikari in a while. Now we get a yami perspective next chapter so its at least 2 months til we find out more about her.

Thing is they barely cut any content...

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.

IMO is an attempt to apologize and reach out, but yes, very timid, very shy, very in his passive way to act. And yes, I´m agree those are short and ambiguous words, but again, there are definitely an invitation to Hikari to say SOMETHING instead ghosting Yuu and avoid him.

 

[outinthegardener]

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.

Are you saying Yuu is afraid of being hit again? I don't see it in story. He's not acting particularly jumpy. Seemed fine to meet with Hikari's friends. Sent her a few texts, even. He seems more upset about how it all went wrong.

Well, he seemed very defensive when he was talking to Haru, apologizing repeatedly like a kid every time she scolded him.
When he sees Haru, the first thing he does is ask if she's come to lecture him and blame him for everything.
This is definitely one of his reasons, even if it's certainly not the main one, but significant enough to explain why Yuu doesn't want to go to her house, especially since Hikari is actively ghosting him. He preferred to send his mother to see if she could mediate between him and Hikari.
So yes, the boy is definitely not in the mood to endure any more insults, much less potential physical aggressions from Hikari, and if he's going to talk to her, he'd certainly prefer it not be on her property, unless she explicitly invites him over.
Yuu is both afraid and upset, and feels guilty about everything that happened.

 

[LeonsamaX]

That's it?

 

[peortega1]

In a short to ressume my vision of this manga: the authoral intent of Maruto is pro-role reversal and pro-femdom, he supports the girls who takes the lead and he has done it always. And is fine Yuu would be thus, a passive and submissive boy, if he found a good dommy girlfriend able to guide him. The problem starts when Ayami being so ridicuously self-destructive even after accept formally the role of protectress and guide of Yuu as his girlfriend and "senpai".
He trusted on her, and her failed to him, she droped his hand and left fall him.
The same problem, but to inverse, happens with Hikari accepting being the best childhood friend and protectress of Yuu, only to stay paralyzed in the door while she sees how Yami first slaps Yuu and later SA him with the robbed kiss. Even as a mere friend, Hikari failed Yuu in that moment.
Of the three, Yuu is probably who have tried more to be responsible and act correctly during the several crisis even if he obviously is not a leader, but a follower, at least in romantic terms, like Haruki, Tomoya and Yuu (Izumi) before him.

This your goat

Rejected someone like that and expects the other party to come up to her begging LOL, LMAO even

 

[wozbond]

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.

I find it ludicrous there are people that believe that Yuu is wrong for not confessing AND also wrong for confessing, but when Hikari fails to confess, ThaTs dIFfeReNt.
Before the kiss, plenty of people claimed that Yuu was a coward for not confessing. Either BOTH are cowards, or neither are. People can't have it both ways.

İt's like watching a train wreck in slow motion... Thanks for the translation.

Ultra Lightweight Chapter

 

[John_Smith10]

The girl who PUNCHED Yuu and used the violence against him doesn´t have any right to this high ground how is she was a queen or a princess
Hikari is the last person here with right to wanting being the unreachable girl
Other proof you are a jerk with zero media literacy

Hikari didn't punch him though. She just pushed him away as he leaned in for a kiss. You could say she used too much force, but she didn't punch him

 

[peortega1]

Hikari didn't punch him though. She just pushed him away as he leaned in for a kiss. You could say she used too much force, but she didn't punch him

Because she leaned in first to the kiss, basically inviting him (and later agreding him when she decided to be selfish), is precisely because she is so close she could thrown him to the floor. Is a very obvious physical aggresion.
Just change the genders, but with exactly the same actions. Hikari attacked Yuu, there are not other possible words for that moment.
Even moment when all we know she only needed say "Stop it!" or just far away if she wanted stop the kiss. And yes, "she used too much force" is other proof of physical aggresion

I find it ludicrous there are people that believe that Yuu is wrong for not confessing AND also wrong for confessing, but when Hikari fails to confess, ThaTs dIFfeReNt.
Before the kiss, plenty of people claimed that Yuu was a coward for not confessing. Either BOTH are cowards, or neither are. People can't have it both ways.

Is because Hikari is a girl, this is the reason why she can be a coward and Yuu cannot...

 

[peortega1]

People here will find fun yesterday´s chapter coincided with Ai Kamiya birthday - November 3.
This chapter is a pretty gift who Maruto made to Kamiya/Ayami and remember us why Yami-sama is the best girl -the bar is so ridicuously low-, pending what Haru and Yuki can contribute.

 

[Drqconic]

One month for 7 pages????

 

[story645]

is wrong for not confessing AND also wrong for confessing,

The how matters? He's not wrong for confessing in the abstract, but confessing when Hikari is visibly upset, after a charged meeting with Aya, was obviously not a smart move.

Why am I catching strays for my response to your question that you asked of UdenEmpati? Nowhere in my response did I refer to Yuu as a coward. All I said about cowardice is that Hikari should not be considered one for aborting her confession after wanting information from Yami.

UdenEmpati said:

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.

And you responded:

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.

The only one talking about cowardice was you when you accused Hikari of "sitting on her arse like a coward" (which is so disingenuous to what actually was going on that I would argue you're arguing in bad faith).

The discussion was in regards to Yuu confessing during the dance. It's obvious Hikari was in a horrible mood before the dance and it was obvious to Yuu and Hikari's friends that Hikari placed them in a position where it appeared she was going to confess. Alarm bells were ringing in Yuu's head from the moment he met back up with Hikari but he ignored them. Yuu even admits in the latest chapter that he was in the wrong for confessing - whether he meant at that moment or in general remains to be seen.

I don't think Yuu was a coward for confessing in that moment. I don't think Hikari should be considered a coward for not confessing during the dance. She had every intention to confess up until she saw her best friend kiss her crush. Even after that she still was going to power through and confess until she flashbacked to the classroom. It makes sense she wanted to take a step back and go talk to her best friend first.

If we want to get into technicalities, then yes, Yuu confessing in the heat of the moment is 100% more confession than Hikari aborting her confession but that's not seeing the forest for the trees. Calling Hikari a coward for not confessing after getting clear cut evidence that it might go sour is the equivalent of calling Yuu a coward for not confessing during middle school when he had way less clear cut evidence. So you're doing the "ludicrous" thing you called out others for doing.

 

[gmkgoat]

Don't believe her lies. The Yami route is still within your grasp, Yuu.

 

[GennArc]

It's obvious Hikari was in a horrible mood before the dance and it was obvious to Yuu and Hikari's friends that Hikari placed them in a position where it appeared she was going to confess. Alarm bells were ringing in Yuu's head from the moment he met back up with Hikari but he ignored them.

To be fair, since we see that situation from Hikari's POV, she thinks he read her bad mood as her being hurt because he broke their promise to walk around the festival. And that's probably how it was in his head.
But I agree that Hikari definitely can't be called a coward for not confessing during the festival. If anything, that's THE day when it made full sense for her to not confess. And for Yuu as well.

 

[peortega1]

Yuu PoV in the end of chapter 38 in the Web Novel didn´t confirm it?

I see, I thought so... I always thought something was different about Hikari.
I was being watched. She saw "that"...
I'm not lying. I've loved you for a long time.
But there's no doubt that I'm the worst today, right...?
Takamura Yuu, 16 years old...
Today I had my fourth heartbreak, and the third one provoked by Hikari.

Even if he suspected it, he definitely believed Hikari didn´t see nothing, didn´t know nothing, and this is the reason why he chose so bad moment to confess after Hikari created the atmosphere only to repent in the last minute.
So he is definitely more brave than Hikari, even if in this case, he taking the lead carried both to the disaster.
Other reason why, as I said before, his intituion about when act and when don´t act is usually correct.

But I agree that Hikari definitely can't be called a coward for not confessing during the festival. If anything, that's THE day when it made full sense for her to not confess. And for Yuu as well.

True. But Hikari created the situation for a confession carrying Yuu to the gym when he just wanted going to home, probably still depressed for all the Yami clusterfuck. IMO that was the mistake of Hikari, even more when she lied too to Yuu when she said she was upset only because he broke their promise to walk around the festival.

 

[peortega1]

It makes sense she wanted to take a step back and go talk to her best friend first.

The joke here is she didn´t want make that. She encountered Yami just for bad luck in her running away. In any moment of her PoV in chapter 38 she thinks in find Yami or confront her. Their encounter in chapter 41 was securely 100% accidental -again-
And her attitude in this chapter 44 avoiding and ghosting Yuu proves it. Anyway, if she really wanted to look Yami, she could say to Yuu the truth and talk openly with him. He invited clearly to her to do it during the confession, again, is him trying to confirm if she saw the kiss or not.
IMO, again, her mistake was carry Yuu for the dance and later the gym. Those chapters are a good example about how both Yuu and Hikari, like Haruki and Setsuna before, when they take the lead, the most probably result is a screwing.
They are better following than leading. This is the reason why both fell in the hands of Kazusa Touma, I mean, Ayami Sudo.
But IMO, Yuu is still more brave than Hikari, and not just for confess in this point, but because Hikari had several of opportunities between Carnival and Cultural Festival and wasted all them, even with the counsels and the active help of the ex-girlfriend of Yuu.
