Nooooo~! Are you guys happy now? :meguuusad:
If the price for a childhood friend to win in a Maruto story is to see my poor, sweet Ayami cry, then I want no part of it.


Ugh, and now we're probably going back to that irrelevant side character. What was her name again? Hikari? Bleh...

Based on this promo, it seems that the extra chapters are venue-exclusive bonus books.

First time I see someone arguing for "tell don't show". Nevermind that we've had 8 chapters of events effecting two out of three persons involved.
This ISNT “show don’t tell” though, it’s a multi-chapter monologue. It’s basically a fuckin text dump just because you visually see it happen doesn’t mean it’s not “telling”.

The issue is that instead of things being brought up as they become pertinent to the story the author is just offloading all this information now instead. The better way to have done it would be to intersperse the details throughout the narrative as they effect the characters in real time. Yuu doesn’t know this shit, Hikari doesn’t know this shit, so it STILL needs to be actually addressed, which means putting it all as a huge unbroken monologue completely worthless and just drags the pacing to a crawl.

Kudos to the guy for not becoming damaged like her. I can imagine it (some random girl hooks up with you and you both obviously like her, and then she ghosts you) not going well for most guys...

Now where's the real female MC so I can stop reading this mess.

Weird, so 13.5 is not a part of volume 1? And judging by the "+" on the left, it seems like it's not a part of volume 2 either.
But I'm confident pajama party was released before volume 2 because its' WN version has already been translated for some time. So now I wonder what that 29.5 could be about if it actually exists.

We honestly don't know how this even affected Yuu also she is the real FMC she has a amazing story that Hikari won't even be able to come close too

Honestly, I think the Spanish translation team wasn’t sure what number to use and just went with 29.5.

We're receiving way more information than we would've received if the manga did as you suggested. For one, we got a lot more stuff on Yuu, we witnessed him act and react and be something more than an inscrutable object of Hikari's admiration. We've seen him and Yami "fuck like rabbits" as you say, we see how, under what circumstances and motivations, something we wouldn't have gotten if we were just told "they fucked like rabbits". And if that is a "multi-chapter monologue" and "a fuckin text dump", then how exactly are the first 20 chapters different?

This IS the story, it is no less important for the author to tell and for us to see than the events chronologically right after chapter 21.

Do you want it to be a bunch of small flashbacks? Where do you want them to be interspersed? So far I don't see how that would be any better.

This read like a quite realistic toxic teenager love story, i don't get the hate tbh. It feels real and raw and I'm fine with it 🤷‍♂️

I guess if this is it's own manga it would be well received but this being shoehorned into a wholesome virgin love story manga is just not

I have now reached the meh stage of reading this manga. Everything feels contrived and Yami is still an awful person. I'll continue reading for the art.

As i've said before Yami is selfish and self-destructive. If her and Yuu were to get back together, there is no way that relationship last. If you have to walk on eggshells the whole time with your signficant other, then how is the relationship to flourish.

Again this would have been fine as a standalone angsty teenage drama from this arc but it feels completely disjointed from the first arc.

Anyway my thoughts...
