Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 25.5 - The Kiss Of Farewell

[Levivs]

Ah sh*t here we go again

Eh wait. . . . . I think I misunderstood. So . . . This didn't actually happen?

Also I went for a quick look in the twitter. And uuuhh quite surprised that the vibe of the comments are hella different from here (since I rarely set my foot on it). At least for now which only have a few quotes as per this time of typing.

I think what he means is that this exact chapter of manga and the novel have different version and one of them is Yami's fantasy

Maruto-sensei: Here's the update for chapter 26.... or rather, chapter 25.5. As for why I made this an interlude, it's because the storyline is different between the manga version and the novel version, so there's no cannon to base this on. FYI, the reason why the storyline's different is because one of them... is but Yami-senpai's fantasy.

Calling this no cannon to based on by his own author would only ends up confusing. Should be both of them is relatively cannon

The only outcome I find acceptable is for Hikari to end her friendship with Ayami and move on from Yuu, but I’m fully aware that the chances of that happening are slim.

It's not clear that Ayami did anything wrong though? Possibly kissing her friends crush, but even that's kinda mitigated by it being her ex/first love that she's not over and Yu and Hikari not being in a relationship. Though yes it would be reasonable for the friendship to fall apart b/c it takes some emotional maturity to deal w/ the weirdness.

if he really liked her he would never go to bed with a random girl

Eh, it's not a great look for him but him liking Hikari seems to have been part of his motivation for feeling so down that he went to lick his wounds w/ Aya.

It might be a taste thing, but I don't understand people's overwhelming affection for Hikari... Personally I don't find the girl failure archetype particularly likeable, and I don't see why people hate Yami as much as they do but that's just me...

I mean, what’s there to like about Ayami? Up until chapter 21, we knew almost nothing about her, and then, out of nowhere, we learn that she’s Yuu’s ex-girlfriend. Sure, some people might say, “Oh, but there were hints,” but those hints were so subtle that the person responsible for releasing the chapters on X had to explicitly point them out in the chapter 21 post. Now, after generating a significant amount of animosity towards Ayami because of her betrayal, the author suddenly shifts the focus of the story to her without any warning—something that could have helped in this situation. As a result, I just can’t sympathize with or connect to Ayami at all.

seriously how can you butcher something this bad? this went from an average romance to an ntr sex fantasy

 

[Alcron]

Honestly I've been here since the first chapter and right now I'm loving the drama, maybe because I watch a lot of soap operas and this follows the same formula

 

[Madbunny]

Surely it’ll go back to the childhood friend right? Right? Surely she won’t be another losing heroine RIGHT?!

:copium:

She already lost pretty hard lol

Right, I'm aware. However, I think all of this are all planned out. Before the kiss chapter, her name was always referred to as "Aya" the "Yami" part was never dropped until the "dark" chapters started. Plus. Maruto-sensei mentioned that before it was the light chapter. and we are now in the dark chapters. While I do understand all of these sudden backstory just feels like padding, I feel like the knowledge that's shown to us in the flashback is enough to gain some sympathy for her.

I think it really depends on how lenient you are when it comes to betrayal. Ayami was fully aware that Hikari liked Yuu, yet she chose not to disclose that she was his ex-girlfriend. To make matters worse, she went ahead and kissed him. Sure, Hikari isn’t in a relationship with Yuu, but neither is Ayami—she's his ex-girlfriend. If Ayami genuinely cared about Hikari, she would have been upfront about her history with Yuu and respected Hikari’s feelings. Instead, she tried to dodge Yuu at school, hoping to avoid any awkward encounters.

Let’s also consider that Yuu shares some blame in this mess. He could have told Hikari why he didn’t want to attend her school, but he opted to keep that information to himself as well. This secrecy isn’t just a minor issue; it fundamentally undermines trust in their relationships. Hikari deserves better than to find herself caught in a web of hidden truths and emotional turmoil.

The author must provide a convincing explanation for the secrecy surrounding this relationship—specifically, why Ayami can’t confide in her best friend and why Yuu isn’t honest with his childhood friend. Overall, this situation feels overwhelmingly tangled, making it challenging to view Ayami and Yuu as sympathetic characters given their actions. This isn’t merely a matter of awkwardness; it represents a profound breach of trust that jeopardizes their friendships.

I like the story actually, but I like even more reading the complains, lol. People should get over the fantasy of first love always wins... besides, we don't even know the context of the kiss in the present nor what happened between the MC and the senpai after this yet...

Besides, the flashback is about people licking each other's wounds, not just plain horniness. But well, you are not ready to have this discussion.

Have youever been in a situation like this in real life? Or seen it? One where someone in the friend group makes a move on someone one of their friends was openly interested in behind everyone's back? What that does to everyone involved? Probably not, if you did you would know right away why Ayami is so fucking hated.

But the massive problem with this line of thinking which also seems to the the line of thinking that most people hatting on this manga have it that it is completely delusional and based on nothing at all since everything you have said is completely untrue and just does not even happen in the manga.

there is no stealing of yuu from the main girl since at this point in time she does not even like yuu and clearly has made that very clear since yuu tells Ayami that the girl he likes does not see him that way.

also its more like the main girl is trying to steal Ayami's crush since she liked him before the main girl did.

SINCE ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING BEFORE THE MAIN STORY STARTS

It seems to me that this is one of those situations where people will have to agree to disagree. If you find Ayami to be a compelling character, that’s perfectly valid; and if you don’t, that’s equally acceptable. Everyone is entitled to their perspective on her character.

She went back for a second serving 😭

I feel like it needs to be remembered that these are just kids, so your saying that at his age you would have been fine telling a girl that you had a crush on and may still have one on that you don't want to go to her school because you fucked someone who goes there one and a half years ago. do you really think a high school boy is just going to tell a girl he knows that he fucked someone maybe if it was a guy friend then he might have but really you must have been a very weird kid if thats something you could do.

she cant really go about suddenly telling her best friend that she fucked her crush one and a half years ago, and it would have to be suddenly since she only just realised who her crush is since she has been using a nickname for him all this time. could you really tell her best friend that you fucked the person they are in love with, if you could that does make you a bit heat less since it is a lot more kind to not say that also what scenario would you envision for Ayami telling her about this because no matter what it is going to heavily damage their friendship. also the kiss is most likely a spur of the moment thing since she still clearly has feelings for him the predate her best friends crush.

Huh!? They don’t need to explicitly say they had sex; just acknowledging that they dated is more than sufficient information. The fact that they were in a relationship carries its own weight and implications, and it provides enough context for the situation without delving into the specifics.
