Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 29 - As The Short Journey Ends (Second Half)

[Trevoga]

So go on and cry me a river
Don't say this will haunt you forever
It never did, it never will

 

[Rafalga]

STILL SEETHING lol. No stakes romcom slop enjoyers are truely the most fragile bunch

Facinating stuff to witness.

i don't think yuu still has lingering feelings for yami.

Now this is not that difficult to argue against.
1. Him leaning into the kiss in ch. 21
2. Him cautiously asking Hikari whether anything changed in her class in ch. 18. Also him getting jumpy when Hikari asked "is she your ex?" about Seki in the same chapter.
3. The infamous "I have someone I liked since before I met you" in ch. 12. Now that could still be about Hikari, but taking other points into consideration, it's more likely to be about Yami.

Imo what happened in the classroom was something like that:

• yuu left because he was being harassed by hikari's classmates
• went around school since he was already there and came back to the class later
• yuu and yami found themselves together and start talking
• and the scene imo was yuu questioning yami about her feelings and that "but" we see him saying before getting interrupted could be a "but you're the one that left" or yami slapped him because of him saying that he went here for hikari and not for her.

Small correction, but there was no "but" in that dialogue. He starts saying "Yami-senpai, boku wa..." passionately and it doesn't feel like he is blaming her for anything. Moreover, Yami's monologue afterward says how she was avoiding him but he still managed to find her. If his intention was to blame her for leaving him or to confess that he is in love with Hikari now, the monologue would hardly be about running away and being found.

I do so love that we’ve been on this pity-building detour for 10 chapters yet I still can’t give a fuck about her or her reasoning. Truly a miss for the ages with this whole arc. Hope we can get back to the present soon so Hikari can tell them both to get lost and move on tbh.

Bro thinks having an ex is like having a second life.

Having an active girlfriend you're hiding from your friends and family is having a second life

yeah, you’re not going to make me care about the side piece.

mhh looking at it that way yeah, i changed my mind on yuu trying to avoid yami at the school.
I still think that he does not like yami but i see now that yuu has a shitton of unresolved feelings, way more than just "wanting closure" than i said before. il'll add that sentence where yami says "you always manage to find me" makes me think that yuu might be still down bad for her and didn't move on and this is not the first time he manages to meet her.

1. i went back to check, and in chapter 1 he DOES NOT lean into the kiss, he's stunned by it (open hands, his eyes are open and only closed when the pov shifts to yami, also the posture is just yami pressing and then pulling yuu).
2. Rerading ch.18 you're right, he does want to know about yami, reading it now makes it clear, 100% hikari talked about her friends with him so that's how he knows.
3. i think ch.12 there is a 50/50 there aren't enough info at all about who he's talking about and it will change depending solely on the reader here.

honestly as a yami gang member i like her best, but for the story if hikari tries to "fix"/"heal" yuu i'll be pissed

This manga went from fun loving romance to dark depressing NTR crap

He is shocked at first but when the POV changes from Hikari to Yami, he is already there.

And his eyes are closed which should be a solid enough evidence.

 

[gronkle]

Then, if she was the one who broke things off, why initiate the kiss with the MC if you were "done" with him? (before the flashback)

Probably because she wasn't actually "done", she was processing grief and didn't have the bandwidth to love him back at the time.

Just dark enough, but without being overly explicit either, to get the message across that she did something really fucked up to get her parents to divorce.

I think it's being implied that her dad did something fucked up to her, and she (and her mother) blames herself for it.

 

[volodyuka]

Having an active girlfriend you're hiding from your friends and family is having a second life

it's not. my parents [thankfully] never knew most of my exes and not all my friends ever met the girls I was dating at times. The same thing goes for me, couple of my best friends have wives I've never ever met and only talk to through voip, it's normal for people to generally not mix social circles and have private relationships. hell, here in mangaland half of "pure romcoms" have the trope of secretly dating.

I was about to argue with you, but screw it—I’ll just hope you’re right. Still, I really hope that when we get back to the present, Hikari cuts ties with Yami and Yuu and moves on with her life. With the tone shift we’ve seen, I just hope the author doesn’t throw in some bullshit about the power of friendship fixing everything and making it all fine between them.

 

[HYBRID_BEING]

With how everyone expects next volume to be from Yuu's perspective, i guess there could still be new bits of information we could learn, but at this point the only thing deserving blame i see is Ayami kissing Yuu after she herself ghosted him, and knowing perfectly well that her friend is in love with him. Then again, does anyone expect her to cut off her own feelings?

I still feel bad the most for Hikari, though.

He is shocked at first but when the POV changes from Hikari to Yami, he is already there.

And his eyes are closed which should be a solid enough evidence.

To be fair, I think his eyes here are just not drawn, and it's hard to tell confidently if he's leaning into or it's Ayami pulling him in. I do agree that he still got feelings for her, though, and probably more than just lingering.

 

[Weoooo]

I think it's being implied that her dad did something fucked up to her, and she (and her mother) blames herself for it.

We know her stepfather was sexually abusing her. Chapter 24, page 7. This explains why she wanted to drop out. Being with Yuu gave her the courage to reveal that her stepfather wasn't just abusing her, but had multiple mistresses that he was buying an AWFUL lot for, from bags to literal houses. Yami revealed that, and the stepfather initiated divorce. Her mother, however, didn't want him to leave. Probably because he was incredibly wealthy and she became utterly dependent on him. Since Yami revealed the thing that initiated the divorce, her mom blames her. She takes the blame. Again, seems cliche, but it tracks with both what we know about her character(she thinks very negatively about herself) and a certain type of personality that arises in abusive households. She's been told, probably most of her life, that everything is her fault and she's worthless. So she believes it.

Never meeting and never telling anybody your dating or dated a person are two very different things though. You realize keeping the fact your dating somebody completely secret when you have no real reason to do so from your close friends and family is not the norm. It's not weird to keep your relationship details private, but still mentioning your in a relationship is normal.

yeah i dont know how people could say for certain that yuu leans into the kiss when yami hands is wrap around his neck which could indicate that she pulls him for the kiss.

Well, again, to be fair, he may be not that against it either, and it does look on that page like Ayami IS letting go.
