Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 27 - When Summer Comes

[CulR]

Oh no...
Ayami, my narratively complex, multi-dimensional and nuanced queen, don’t you worry!
Maruto hates childhood friends, so you’re getting your normal life and happy ending~


Who even likes girlfailures anyway??

is girlfailure like a girl that gets beaten down, partially because of bad decisions, but is not actually a terrible person themselves?

 

[Eirenneli]

Never expected such development. Author is cooking, but the motherfucker is blind as fuck and can't taste shit.
Still, I'm rooting for the psyco girl Yami, may she and the protag be happy.

2 weeks for 6 pages ain't it.

Yep, it was fine to set 4-6 pages before when it was a silly rom com you could digest fairly quickly. Then the sudden shift to drama this type of release is a detriment to the story imo.

Now you have to try and force feed all of this exposition into a few pages.

It was a bad idea to release the novel and manga simultaneously. Maruto should have wrote out the web novel for about Year before they started drawing so they could flesh out the manga better.

any reason she would snitch on his father despite being left alone and paid for everything? trying to change? felt like she could just leave her parents when she's an adult instead of poking on the wasp nest.

I mean her stepfather tried to sleep with her and/or attempted to rape her, would you really gamble on staying under the same roof with that kind of person or would you rather oust him first thing you can? Also, despite all the things that happen with her mother, I assume Yami doesn't want her mother to be with a womanizing cheater.

oh right sorry i already commented this before i saw a comment mentioning step-father which i forgot

Eh, like these aren't inherently contradictory? Like I (folks) can appreciate that the storytelling is structurally interesting - hell I think it's the most (maybe only) somewhat novel part of the story - and also be annoyed at reading a spiraling soap instead of of the easy fluffy thing I started to destress.

I can understand that, but it requires you to ignore the name of the thing you're reading. Up until this arc, 'it's a little late' didn't really mean anything at all. It's not late, they're both still kids. It's a just a little phrase at the beginning to show that, hey, this didn't start long ago, I guess. But isn't that a waste?
But now, it means an awful lot, and showcases intent. Oh, it's a little late because he's already been in a relationship. Now the concept is clearer and the idea of lateness makes sense.
The structural element, where these are short chapters, is what makes this land harder than it normally would. Because rather than a chapter 5 Volume 1 ending twist, we were 20 fuckin' chapters into this thing. The same amount of pages and thus the same amount of storytelling, but distributed differently.

Cause I, too, had the same reaction when it first happened. I think I said to myself "It's a little late to change the whole manga concept" and chuckled, but had it pointed out to me that if you think about how it would've been published, this would've been a twist where you would expect one rather than far enough in that you're sure you understand the manga. It threw everyone off-guard, even people who've read lots of manga, because of the change in distribution.
That's cool. That's an "all right, okay, I see where this is going now" thing. If you don't like where it's gone, you don't... have to. But the story is right there, in the title, and you're looking at it play out. Demanding it change back to what it was before when what it was before would've been buildup to the twist the manga was about feels, well, dumb. It feels stupid.

Stupid pressure is annoying. Like, stop booing the experimental guitarist and let me listen to him god damn it. I don't care that he started of playing Wonderwall and you liked it, he's re-stringing the guitar while playing and I wanna fucking see where this goes.

It would be absolutely hilarious if the series returned to a romantic little slice of life but this time with Yami as the MC while the original MC just never reappears.

 

[Iknowthewaytoo]

Is the girl at the cover from alternative universe to this series? I never saw her in last 5 chapters

Who?

Then why are you paying attention to the boos? You don't have to listen to them.

If you’re looking to blame someone for the recent pacing, blame Yom. But hey, it seems like the story’s finally starting to move again.

Thanks for the chapter!

Edit: nevermind it is still there, I just see it under the saranami main account and not the artist. I had to scroll very far down on his replies to see it there now as well.

 

[Litreara]

Looks like yom deleted his tweet.

I can myself confirm it was there before as well.

That's strange. I can still see Yom's post:

Weird you're right, I can see it under the saranami account but not his own. I will edit my post, my apologies.

So this guy was able to buy multiple mansions without his wife noticing? What does he do? How much money does she think he makes?

 

[Akikako]

With the moans at the end, it's seems that the parents are having some angry sex...

 

[Firemorfox]

I'm genuinely curious as to what made them break up their relationship as we see they're really into each other.

• Was it Yami not being honest with Yuu?
• Did Yuu realize he thought he loved her but realize Hikari was the one for him?
• Or is going to be something stupid that will make the rating of this manga go even lower?

Regardless, I wonder how much longer this arc will last. Thanks for the translations.

My prediction: Yami realizes she was using him to get over her ex.

Then gets back together with an ex, betraying Yuu, making Yuu realize somebody else is better for him, AND making the rating go lower!

Perhaps recent events have had me feeling more annoyed at how dumb the general public seems to be, but I'm honestly aggravated that something this interesting is as hated as it is. People call it directionless, but for god's sake the thing is called "It's a little late, but I've fallen in love with my childhood friend" and these chapters are why it's a little late. People say they can't feel any emotion for the characters, but Yami here has been fascinatingly developed, her depression spiral hookup after being sexually assaulted by her stepfather becoming a place she feels she belongs. People say the format doesn't work for it, but it's the same damn format as before, and that makes it MORE INTERESTING because this is the same story, delivered the same way, just another part of it.
Like fuck, man, this shit is fascinating. A cute story about two people who had crushes on each other encountering the reality that one of them already had a deep, intense, and emotionally involved relationship. How did it end? Why did it end? Where do we go from here? What's the best outcome? All these questions are suddenly brought up, and we are dragged along with the female lead to this realization and are now learning from the other side, the other female lead, what her love meant. This is amazing. But all these dumb fucks who just wanna read things they call "fluff" without any sense of irony are still mad that the story isn't what they wanted it to be.

Matthew 7:6
"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."

Still confuse on what made it ntr, I could maybe understand if it was BSS, but not ntr. Hope we get more peak romance though.

okay well, i suppose it technically isn't NTR because they're not officially a couple yet

My prediction: Yami realizes she was using him to get over her ex.

Yami doesn't have an ex and she pretty much states explicitly that this started as a way for her to get the innocence/safety that she doesn't have in her home life & she still sees Yu as that. Like w/ her step father pressuring her for sex, she exerted agency over the situation by instead choosing to have sex w/ Yuu, who is the polar opposite of her step-father.

Demanding it change back to what it was before when what it was before would've been buildup to the twist the manga was about feels, well, dumb. It feels stupid.

Like I get that - I get annoyed sometimes w/ reviews that complain about the explicitly stated premise of the story, but also (unlike booing a guitarist) it doesn't actually impede your consumption of the story.

If there is a plot twist and Yami lied about not having an ex

that would be one of the few things to make this story worse

therefore I think it is possible
