Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 25 - Before Dawn

[Nivek]

also gotta say the translator is really asking for trouble with that note

i loved this become a meme

 

[Nivek]

I hope Hikari found a better new love, she deserved it

 

[Virtualplayer]

I really like the detail of her tip toeing almost out of her shoes so she can reach his lips. I think it's neat.

It's literally the culminating scene

Spoiler

from Ganbare, Douki-Chan - where the FMC guts up to seal the deal with the eyebrowed MC.

Cute, but he's used it 2x. 3x means he's out of ideas.

 

[ShaiKhulud]

I hope Hikari found a better new love, she deserved it

I hope she'll find a better mangaka and a good doujinshi to boot

 

[Virtualplayer]

People struck me out for my NTR hint a few chapters out, but man I hate to be right. Bwahahaha!

 

[Axrod]

Damn... I thought I was fast since it was pretty much right when the chapter drop, but now look at the number of comments. This is saying something.



My thought exactly. But looking on the bright side, maybe past chapter might have shunned a lot of wrong target-audience out by this point?


Places.

This is going places in my book.
Love story doesn't have to be sunshine and rainbows all the time. This is much more interesting now to explore how each characters will move on from the cultural festival.

Only place its going is to its end. The title is childhood friend, if yami wins there is no more story. Its either yami loses here and all the people who are cheering for the plot twist leave or yami wins and it just ends.

 

[Axrod]

Yeah people not understanding this but from the eyes of a reader who has supported mc i can see why they feel betrayed (bt author)

Not even a love triangle at this point. Hikari wasn't even remotely interested in him. This is just basically his first relationship, and yall talking like she got cucked.

 

[Axrod]

Also another thing the title "It's a Little Late, but I've Fallen in Love with My Childhood Friend" is so misleading now, might as well name it "It's a Little Late, but I've Lost My Virginity"

I dont think you have read any chapters besides this one.

 

[Oured]

Even though it's supposed to be a drama plot at this point, the (still) ongoing outrage bruteforced it back into being a comedy. I can't take it seriously anymore, I just laugh everytime it updates.

 

[Schernobyl]

Can we skip to the next tone shift please? The first two girls suck.

I approve this message.

 

[Nivek]

I hope she'll find a better mangaka and a good doujinshi to boot

Yeah she deserves better such shitty twist surprise for her

The outrage on this thread is funnier than the actual manga.

LOL - you want a dumpster fire - you're missing Konbini Goutou. That makes this manga look like kindergarten scribbling.

The MC isn't any less likeable because he's no longer a NEET Virgin. And Senpai isn't a hussy for taking what she wants. And It happened a year and a half BEFORE current time in the series.

Readers complain about hundreds of chapters of blue-balling like Kanojo Okari yet someone finally DELIVERS THE GOODS inside of fifty chapters (and in a understated artsy - dare I say - tasteful way) and it's worse than Solomon breaking out the longsword next to the bassinet?

Are you really going to crucify a character for what happened in the past? It's not like he was looking to hook up with Senpai when she cornered him at the festival. That's the past. This is good writing, because it's literally the opposite of School Life Shonen escapism full of inaccurate tropes. Human relationships are messy, full stop. And blaming someone for their past without taking into account who they are today is simply being shortsighted.

Seriously people.

Seriously people.

Isn't Konbini Goutou sort of the reverse of this story?

Starts out balls to the walls dark, then becomes a fluffy wholesome romance.

 

[ikevinz77]

trash manga

 

[Remissio]

Kinda hoping we just go back to the festival and Hikari like moves on from this guy and finds happiness elsewhere. Like she comes to done understanding about both him and the former best friend and we follow a new turn in the story.

There are some goofy thoughts in my mind about how this would be like the best way for her to get a happy end AND some payback if childhood friend turns out to still love her but she no longer gives him the time of day.

Kinda yeah. It actually loses headway towards the end because everyone starts acting 100 percent like they just escaped from the looney bin.

Spoiler

Ironically the childhood friend in Konbin is the most irrational at the beginning but is potentially the only sane one at the back end.

 

[Sar_Ptolemy]

im here for yom mostly but im not sure if what this author is cooking is worth it

 

[DikaJuansan]

The rating kekw it really fell down

The problem isn't that in my opinion. It's really hard to argue anything these days because people just throw a label at you and disregard a opinion they don't agree with.

Right now, my problem with the story is that the tone shift was horridly handled, I don't even know why he decided to go for the lowest hanging bag of traumas he could get. Yami's character turned out to be a sad girl for reasons that are barely relatable to anyone, her issues are all super serious stuff that's present in many other works when an author want to garner some quick pity for their characters, multiple of those cheap hooks.

Right now, I feel this is just vulgar, blunt and unintentionally funny. It doesn't have the nuance and depth required to generate a complex mix of feelings that could make this story stand above others and you connect to the characters beyond coming to some discussion forums to fan the flames for a bit. the only reason people are even bothering reading this in the first place is because they were baited by either the beginning of the story or the shitstorm that followed the twist. If the story start from this segment of the story it would be straight up trash from the beginning.

One could say he succeeded in marketing by making people react to this? Does this mean the series is good? The ratings plummeted everywhere, the story used to reach 250+ likes in their official site, now it cannot even reach 200 anymore. It generated buzz but not in a good way.

I mentioned Honna Wakou in my previous comment, and I think that's a pretty valid comparison because right now this feels like reading Nozoki Ana but in a situation where the author is asking us to have sympathy for Kotobiki out of all characters.

Sex doesn't make a story mature or good by default. Molestation, abuse, prostitution and whatever else was in Yami's past also don't. Stalling the story for this cheap flashback isn't doing it any favors.

Also another thing the title "It's a Little Late, but I've Fallen in Love with My Childhood Friend" is so misleading now, might as well name it "It's a Little Late, but I've Lost My Virginity"

The FMC is the one that has just fallen in love. Not the MMC. Have you read any of the other chapters?
