Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 24 - I'm Not Crying

What's next? She got a rape baby and had to abort it at a dark alleyway with a rusty clothes hanger?

Crazy turn

 

[Takuma_Aki]

Ah... it really is going this route. As expected, and I very much like it.

Just taking a shot at how dumb and edgy this dark arc will go, since the author is willing to throw rape as a plot device into a once fluffy romcom.

This does not mean I agree with this direction myself.

So, i read lonely attack and it was kinda dark and grim and became a stupid happy go lucky romcom- then i read this and it was a stupid happy go lucky romcom (which i liked) and became dark and grim....i still like this, i say
LET HIM COOK MORE

 

[idk234]

right? the enjoyable part of the story is just completely over it seems

 

[Assaultsquirt]

I just want to say that this manga used to have a 9.00 rating.

Whelp, this took a far more dark tone than I anticipated a few chapters ago.

It all makes sense now why she is obsessed with brining someone down to hell...because she was dragged to hell herself by whatever her stepfather did. The only way she THINKS she will feel better is if she drags another to hell with her (which I think was mentioned in a prior chapter), but it all comes together with that "hypothetical" story (although it could still be a false story however doubtful that actually is). I guess we will see that this guy will take her away from hell and bring her to a better place. Is her getting redeemed really needed?

I also think this solidifies to me the fact that when we get back to the present he will be pushing Ayami away and say (hopefully loud enough for Hikari to hear if she is still there) that he has told her before that he loves Hikari and that will not change no matter what Ayami does.

What that actually means for the story...who knows.

 

[AcidVlad]

Good.

 

[ZorexLudwin]

I don't care, that girl just ruined the romcom.

 

[Anonymous4245]

Ooh they definitely fucked after that emotional moment

 

[MellowV2]

Yeah... I'm sorry, but I can't muster any sympathy for her. Just to clarify, I don’t think she deserves what happened to her—no one should have to go through that. However, it’s difficult for me to connect with her emotionally. Furthermore, this chapter felt like a real slap in the face to those who labeled Hikari as an unreliable narrator or delusional.

Thanks for the chapter!

But Hikari IS an unreliable narrator. She doesn't know what is happening at all.

Ok she's definitely still going to win because HE DOES LIKE HER. GO HIKARI GO

Yom is not the author, just the artist, they have no say in the story.

 

[Scotch212]

You know, it may be cuz I only knew this manga superficially, like, I'd only seen a few chapters pop up in my feed, and then I started following it from that chapter of the kiss scene...

But I kinda rooting for Yami-senpai, like she really deserves to be happy

Yom is not the author, just the artist, they have no say in the story.

From what I read in the previous chapter's comments, the light novel is being written at the same time as the manga, so Yom probably isn't aware of all these story ideas. Wonder if they would've still drawn it if they knew, especially since we don't know what else is in store.

Up until chapter 21, she was not seen as an unreliable narrator. Readers generally trusted her perspective and believed the events as she described them. However, after the events of that chapter, everything changed. It only took a single chapter for people to start doubting her version of the story, questioning whether her account was trustworthy. In my opinion, this reaction was extremely premature. People quickly jumped to conclusions without considering the full context, and many of the accusations that arose from this sudden doubt have been proven false with the release of this latest chapter, further validating her point of view.

Honestly same. If the tone mood shift was better planned and we knew from the start the type of vibe and story we were getting, I'm sure Yami wouldn't receive that much hate; some but not all.

If you are going to go for the twist don't give yourself an off-ramp two chapters later. This is just poor writing. I was all for the twist but to then say, wait, he was really in love with Hikari via off-screen discussion was just bad. Show don't tell and all. And if he was in love with Hikari, and too pure to have sex with a woman he barely knew, why was he agreeing to go to the love hotel in the first place? I'm fine with flawed characters - in fact I love them - but there has to be a reasonable in-world justification for the behavior and Ta-kun's doesn't make sense given what we know about him so far. He doesn't strike me as a Paul Greyrat. They developed no rapport to justify the kiss in chapter 21. They needed to at least develop the relationship to the point where sex was a reasonable outcome.
