Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 30 - Fireworks

[ComNguoi]

Hikari if you truly love your boy, you should just let Yuu and Yami get together girl. Please just let Yami be happy

 

[ComNguoi]

I did a very similar thing for similar reasons at a slightly younger age, so I relate to her a lot. When you're depressed, you want to cut contact from people, even people you love, because you don't want to take them down with you. It makes sense at the time, and only with time and recovery does it sink in how self-sabotaging it is.

Wait I feel being called out. I'm doing exactly that with my parents and my friends lmao.

 

[Drakeon995]

Oh my god, has this flashback finally ended? I swear I have so many problem with this arc. I was okay with it at first.
But then it turned into, 6 months of a wall of text for every chapter. I swear I would have more interest in this if the story was told in another way. Like, we get Hikari dealing with deepression and slowly tellling us about Yami and Yuu's past. But no, six months of info dump. I grew tired of it.
And Yami's backstgory was a real piece of work. She was a problemantic child grew up in perhalf an toxic family at first. And then author kept adding more terrible thing to it, as if he was telling us that we were suppose to sympathize with her? Like, he tried so hard it became cringe.

 

[ComNguoi]

Why?

Because they seem like they will be better with each other? Hikari doesn't have any chemistry with Yuu like at all lmao.

 

[kyewby]

Aaand right back to feeling absolutely no fucking sympathy for this bitch. Good job author.

 

[LordofAlI]

Ok so is this the end of the back story? Also omg that last crying bit is literally that one meme.

 

[Drakeon995]

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.

To be honest, I would like that better. Yami's flashback grew on me at first but after times I only felt tired and cringe the longer it took.

 

[Lucyna222]

LOL

 

[LordTartaros]

Are we done now ?

 

[NoxSodoma]

If anyone thinks her decision was stupid, you never felt truly and deeply undeserving of someone/something.
She saw herself and her life as destined to be miserable, hence the decision of ghosting him, not even giving closure, to make him feel angry or frustrated and forget her.
Yes, that's what people do when they feel it will be hard to leave someone....

 

[jojoka]

Just to be clear, Chapter 13.5 takes place more than a year after Yami ghosted Yuu.

If he takes her back after being ghosted for a year that would be so fucking funny what a pathetic guy

 

[Dosky]

I first read the comments before the chapter. But only for this series.

 

[gronkle]

Wait I'm doing exactly that with my parents and my friends lmao.

While I am just a strange middle-aged man on a Chinese comic book discussion forum and I don't know you or your circumstances, I implore you to do something about that, if you can. And speaking as a parent, particularly regarding your parents if possible. No man is an island.

 

[Quroh_JG]

So, if Yami broke up with Yuu at her 17th birthday, the start of the story is more than a year after that

 

[Quroh_JG]

I was reading seriously until page 14 came and my mind went vine boom and remembered this image and I started laughing hysterically. I'm sorry, lmao

Yami: Babe, please stop, you're not even making sense!
Yuu: hehe fireworks

 

[Robinisback]

Ну и дура.

Автор так выжал драму, что теперь смешно, лол.

 

[Dark1400]

I posted the 2 images on Facebook and the miniature ended up like this

 

[emMeBi86]

All right I'll be fair to her. The decision she made is beyond stupid but you have to remember she's a teenager & going self destruct mode made more sense to her than anything else. Plus you have to factor in she grew up in a toxic environment so she is broken girl that will need to seek therapy or some form of help. The story fits real life really well & it doesn't break the immersion. You can disagree with me if you want (that is fine with me) but ask yourself this: what is the stupidest thing you did as a teenager that made no sense now that you are out of high school?
Guess we're done with the dark side of the story & going back to the present. Part of me thinks we'll shift to Yuu's POV for the next arc to which I have to say that it sucks for Yuu that the girl he really liked ghosted him & now he reunited with her in the worst possible situation. Thanks for the translations.

Most intelligent take on the chapter.
Yep it makes no sense at all, because she could have seen Yuu as salvation and her first step to rebuild her life...instead, she didn't see that as a possible ending and she cut ties "to not drag him down with her", "to not ruin him" or something like that.
To be fair sometimes even adults reacts like this, so...it can happen.


And at the same time I can agree with the "rage" against the whole matter because, as someone already said, the matter dropped on the readers like a bomb when everyone was expecting a fluffy romcom. A little more foreshadowing would surely have laid a better ground

 

[Ninoren]

In german we'd say : "Chantal, heul leiser" 😶

Guess Author decided to have Yami run for mc, considering the actual mc just dropped off the face of earth, also impressive how absolutely unimpressive the guy in the story is, but somehow i dont like him 😐
Just let him end up with Yami and have a new story with current mc, spare her the melodramatic drama 🥲

 

[Dingo777]

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.

it would be better interspersed because it wouldn’t have ground all narrative momentum to a screeching halt at the climax of the story. None of the involved characters can react to this huge lord dump because this was just Yami thinking to herself. The issues need to be discussed so it all needs to be brought back up anyway.

Ideally these could have been peppered in during heart to heart moments between the characters, instead it’s all shoved off on its own. Just as an example there could be a scene where Hikari finally sits down with and asks when they even met and then a small chapter or two flashback while she tells part of the story, then Hikari naturally reacting to it. There could be a scene where Hikari confronts Yuu about what happened and why they kissed and we get a short flashback that Yami had told him. There could be a scene where Yuu confronts Yami and asks why everything fell apart and she’s flashbacks reviewing the parts she told Yuu and adding details from her perspective. During all of this the characters can act and react with eachother and progress the narrative. The issue with a flashback is it can only provide context, it can’t progress a story in progress on its own because everything that happens during it is, by its nature, already done.

The key is don’t drop it all in a huge lump if the characters involved still need to deal with it in the present day. It kills the momentum and shock the author had built up during the first arc. The feeling of “oh my god what’s gonna happen I’m so invested” died at the end of volume one and was replaced with “can we get some actual progress now?”

There’s a reason that stories which make heavy use of flashbacks either keep them short and tight or make them part of a discussion between two characters as a framing device, to avoid narrative redundancy. No one can react to this entire arc because no one but Yami knows anything about it.

She can either A. Not tell anyone ever in which case this should have been inserted before or after the climax so as not to disrupt the flow or B. Tell them in which case it should have been shown when the specifics are relevant.

We don’t need to know that the pair spends days fucking in a hotel to resolve why Yami is missing Yuu, that can be brought up when the topic of hotels is (either Yami and Yuu reflecting on the last time they went to one, Yami thinking about it while at a hotel with Hikari/the other girls/someone mentioning going to a hotel with someone, or Hikari and Yuu dealing with it if/when they go to a hotel or the topic of sex comes up) which would keep the pacing up and continue the evolving narrative. And as you can see even if the author DID want to switch to Yami’s POV they had plenty of ways to dole out the information in smaller, more digestible chunks rather than trying to swallow the whole watermelon, again, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CLIMAX.
