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

[watadork]

The only reason I still keep up with this series is pure, morbid curiosity.

 

[thugshakermafa1ka]

I don’t even know why I read the updates anymore, just hoping that it will turn out it was a dream or some shii…I’m finished

so fucking right

Your trashy romance manga evolved into trashy melodrama manga!

I'm fine with it. I get why people aren't though.

 

[fflogschampion]

O my rapist stepfather...

And I thought Oshi no Ko was terrible lately.

 

[AlphaE]

this probably could've had more buildup or happened at a different time but ok

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.

He wasn't too pure to have sex with Ayami. He just couldn't get into it because she wasn't into it. And he's a hormonal teenage boy. Of course, he's gonna get roped into it. And this is the start to developing their rapport. Can't you see the connection they made at the end there?

Is this the "Gal Cleaning" of 2024...?

No... Nothing will ever reach "Gal Cleaning" levels of jumping the shark.

Is this the "Gal Cleaning" of 2024...?

No... Nothing will ever reach "Gal Cleaning" levels of jumping the shark.

Only thing stopping this from going Gal Cleaning is the author not showing us Yami's past.

So huh… yeah. It’s not that this type of story is not interesting or anything, but you can’t blame people to feel they’ve been tricked for 20 chapters here. Even if they try to go back to the fluffy rom-com after that, things won’t be the same

 

[jonnywarlock]

I wonder if he'll get a stiffy now that they've reached some sort of understanding? 🤔

 

[Kind_Nesz]

Is this arc still not over yet? This manga feels like you having a happy birthday party then suddenly a killer with rabbit mask came over then shoot everyone except you

I think a lot of you are forgetting that this manga is based on an ALREADY WRITTEN light novel. I don't know how much the mangaka changed things but blaming the author on how you don't like the tonal shift is more on you than on the author.

It's not "going scorched earth" - it's ALREADY scorched earth. Personally, I like unexpected tonal shifts like this because at least it tries to do something new. If you guys want to read lighthearted childhood friend romcom there's literally hundreds of other choices out there.

No, you misinformed miscreant. This is being released at the same time as the LN version of the same story.

I'm not going to lie, I'm interested to see how we get to where we are presently in the manga. Like how is all of this not known by Hikari. Does the dude and Yami age to just keep quiet about it after all is said and done?

Furthermore, this chapter felt like a real slap in the face to those who labeled Hikari as an unreliable narrator or delusional.

Honestly I def questioned whether Hikari was the girl he liked. When this came out, it wasn't a slap in face. It just was like "oh ok, cool".


I personally am kind of invested in this. I'm over the feeling of betrayal with the "oh this is actually the dark arc now" issue. Yami sucks but she's a tad interesting. But we seeing some cracks in her darkness. Do we get to see a little darkeness in Hikari's light after?

 

[RedNanaki]

Man this series is getting destroyed lmao

 

[Flame-2-Haze]

Has the rating of this manga gone down since that little 'NTR' scene?

 

[SaintNero]

Yom like fuuuuuuck, I should have just made a Do Your Best spin off

 

[ysil69]

Lol that guy, "there's this girl I absolutely have loved since childhood. Anyways let's fuck in this love hotel."

 

[Castane]

Lol that guy, "there's this girl I absolutely have loved since childhood. Anyways let's fuck in this love hotel."

It's as if the writer has no idea of how decent human beings function
