This comment is blowing my mind The Last of Us Part 2 was CRAZY controversial BECAUSE of the two protagonists? Like it blew up the internet with fans slinging shit from both sides.
Look bro, this is the internet, It’s really not infeasible that people would say that unironically.
Because he never actually tries. He arbitrarily sets a goal for himself, completely unrelated to the potential relationship, and gives up after he fails. As far as we know, he never tried to ask Hikari out or gave her any indication of being interested.I don't really see why Yuu going to another girl once he fully realizes that he had no chance to be with Hikari is being portrayed as wrong.
Yuu: “I know I’ll get rejected so I’m going to give up before even trying”I don't really see why Yuu going to another girl once he fully realizes that he had no chance to be with Hikari is being portrayed as wrong. It was either that or hold onto a crush that would never be return as far as Yuu is concerned. And considering that Hikari has turned down other boys, some of whom, were better than Yuu because, and in her own words, "wasn't interested in romance", and that's not even mentioning the fact that Hikari would help other girls ask out Yuu on dates. It's kind of easy to see why Yuu just decided to go with another girl that return romantic feelings towards him.
And before people say he should confess and moved on, what would that do? Yuu already knows he's going to get rejected, why ruin a childhood friendship for an answer that he already knows is going to get?
Because Aya is a total jerk to her - calls her an idiot, shuts her down - and she still reaches out enough after all that they become friends. Hikari isn't letting any of the walls Aya is putting up stop her.her willing to reach out to Yami another time is a result of her being interested, not of being resolute.
The climax at the school is literally this. Hikari is so persistent in getting Yuu to come to the festival so she can confess again that he caves on his original no.So it feels very weird to me when you use her as an antithesis to Yuu's indecisiveness.
I just like dirty girlsI honestly dont get how anyone can prefer Yami in the comments, probably because most people that prefer Hikari gave up on this manga
You can wait till the title is finished for that.Thanks Mister obvious, if you read more than 20% of the text, you even would've learned why 🫡
Maruto has been playing a lot w/ Aya wraps herself up in a hard shell to protect the squishy little ball of vulnerability inside. The "you're an idiot" last chapter, the "carefree cool girl" with Yuu - the "schoolgirl prostitute" is just another iteration of "keep away".seriously tho it was a really weird move to make her a schoolgirl prostitute (virgin), what was up with THAT?
And why exactly are you so bothered by that ? 😶You can wait till the title is finished for that.
But you rather read every week and complain about it and say "how pushed you are from the manga".
So yes, it should be very obvious what to do... but every 2 weeks the same people complain about the title. So guess they actually do like the story.
Thats like me reading Rental Shit every week and then complain how shit it is (it is very shit). I just wait till it ends and then check last 2 or 3 chapters cause I'm curious. So, why dont do the same obvious thing if you hate the manga?
In fairness there’s plenty of reasons not to like ASoIaF outside of just that.I could only imagine this fanbase's reaction to having to read ASoIaF where characters can go entire books without a chapter on them lol
I have to quote myself on thisBecause he never actually tries. He arbitrarily sets a goal for himself, completely unrelated to the potential relationship, and gives up after he fails. As far as we know, he never tried to ask Hikari out or gave her any indication of being interested.
And if not getting into the same school is such a major problem for asking out Hikari, how is it suddenly a non-issue when Yami is from the very same school?
It's not exactly wrong, but I really can't treat Yuu's feelings seriously, when they couldn't even survive first contact with any kind of temptation.
I think you are really underestimating the palpability of feeling of distance. He spent a lot of time with Hikari and he could easily tell she is not romantically interested in him at all. No right chemistry, clearly "just friends" attitude etc. It doesn't help that Hikari also kept setting up meetings with other girls for him and then asking him how it went. And she confirms that herself, thinking
"All the way through middle school -- no, actually, until just a year ago -- I never saw him as a boy. He was just my pure and simple childhood friend, nothing more."
So it's not just about giving up after the first failure or being cautious. He saw that he had no chance for years, that's why the exam failure was just the last nail in the coffin. That, and meeting a certain senpai who he actually started to have a good chemistry with.
That doesn't contradict what I wrote. She is frustrated by Yami's rejection, but her interest keeps her going, it's not about completing the task given to her, it's about "I'm interested in that person".Because Aya is a total jerk to her - calls her an idiot, shuts her down - and she still reaches out enough after all that they become friends. Hikari isn't letting any of the walls Aya is putting up stop her.
That's just verbal gymanstics. She is not persistent, she just set up a plan that he should also follow, and then got upset that he was hesitant about it and caused a scene.The climax at the school is literally this. Hikari is so persistent in getting Yuu to come to the festival so she can confess again that he caves on his original no.
