Watch as the author drags this out for 5 more chapters catching things up to the present day from Yami’s perspective lol real talk if you liked her character design more just say so and write a spin off.Hikarikeks… it’s our time to shine
Using Lens I was able to track the picture down to being from Mahou Shoujo SIte (Magical Girl Site). I watched the anime but it didn't really make me want to read the manga, although some say the manga was better.
I hope he does that would be hilariousIf he takes her back after being ghosted for a year that would be so fucking funny what a pathetic guy
That would be on brand for this author--he loves making his characters miserable for no good reason.At this rate it will end with Yuu all alone with neither of the girls being happy.
nah i confidently think this is def the last we see from yami pov. Like this whole arc started with Yami monologue on how yuu is her bestfriend's crush. and in this chapter ends with her monologue on her breaking up with yuu.Watch as the author drags this out for 5 more chapters catching things up to the present day from Yami’s perspective lol real talk if you liked her character design more just say so and write a spin off.
The problem is, you're still looking at this flashback as something unimportant, something that is just in-between of Hikari's story, whereas it's actually a full-fledged story of two characters and their relationship. It is important and that's why it was told as a story, not as a set of interspersed memories. You just need to accept that these two characters are important and not just some secondary characters in Hikari's story.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.
That would be quite painful.Most people would feel awkward telling their first love (who is also their childhood friend) that they found someone else, even if that love was unrequited.
As for why there were no rumors, he even lied to his parents and only met Yami in private. And since Hikari never found out either, it's safe to assume he was pretty secretive about it.
That's what I think given the writer. It won't be resolved until adulthood.At this rate it will end with Yuu all alone with neither of the girls being happy.
The issue is context and timing as I’ve tried to explain. This is not the time or place for this, narratively. Like it or not the story, even if you liked it, is shoehorned in at the worst possible moment pacing-wise. I’m not saying Yami can’t be important, or she can’t have a backstory, or even that ALL the events are pointless to discuss, you don’t “introduce” a character during a climax and then immediately dump a volume’s worth of backstory.The problem is, you're still looking at this flashback as something unimportant, something that is just in-between of Hikari's story, whereas it's actually a full-fledged story of two characters and their relationship.

When you mention flashbacks that are kept short you forget about the context. This is not a flashback exploring some details about a character we already know, in this case we got an essential part of the story that was previously intentionally omitted and we got a full introduction and build-up for the new main character who we previously knew almost nothing about.
Also the fact that Yami has been a walking red flag basically from the start, and is just generally completely unlikable to anybody who has experience with that type of person.The issue is context and timing as I’ve tried to explain.
