I only come here for the comments, I genuinely dont give a fuck about the chatacters 😭 but some of the comments are actually hilarious so I always come back to read 'em

Always amusing when someone insists "the writing is shit, the pacing is shit. I'm genuinely so disapppointed, it's become one of the worst mangas I've ever read" and yet is STILL here commenting. lmao

 

[wanderslvt]

I'm not used to reading realistic stories mainly because well, reality is hopeless isn't it? 🙂

 

[wanderslvt]

Yeah I might drop this if she gives him another chance. He's a spineless syphocant. He succumbed to horny and wants to lead on his "pure" option. This isn't a romcom lil bro.

 

[Shaser0]

I've reread everything. Hikari is delirious, Yuu never shown actual interest with her and mostly think of her as a sister-kind. Yuu is not perfect not like horrible like this comment section paint him. Have interacted with real humans once ? People make mistakes (they're teenagers ffs) that doesn't mean they're the worst friend of all time.

He agreed to come to a school festival where the person who invited him ran away when he was here. He met the girl he likes and ghosted him for a year of course he'll want to talk to her, know why she left in the first place.

She thinks she's entitled to him but she's not. She basically forcing her onto him and he doesn't seems to share the same interest, he never got over Yumi. She's just got kicked out of Dreamland, sad but that would've happened one way or another.

Yami is the worse but she seems to really like Yuu and Yuu seems to really like her, I hope they finish together.

Also the relationship between Yami and Yuu is none of Hikari's business. It's their thing and if they don't want to share it with her it's their right.

But I guess the story will end with the three of them going separate ways, with a not very good ending, it seems like this sort of manga.

Lets see how you feel in a few minutes.

 

[IamaTire]

So Hikari got involved into the crossfire

 

[nueee]

How to smile -> 😊

 

[magicpea]

He the only shitty “man” that why it hard to cheer on him since early chapters.

What do you mean FMC is too late?He the one who want to get to the same school as her but suddenly because his pathetic self, He easily gave up and f with some hooker high school. A man who so weak .

Now he still act like he care for her but at first chance he dished her to f his high school hooker in a flash.
weak selfish pathetic man.

 

[magicpea]

I gotta reread this series

Can't delete comments so just know that I'm wrong and everyone mad at me is right loll

---

I re-read the first arc.

FUCK ALL OF YOU, I WAS RIGHT! YUU DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO GO TO THE FESTIVAL BECAUSE HE KNEW YAMI WAS GOING TO BE THERE

Also, we still don't know if Yuu consented to the kiss. I still firmly believe the fault isn't entirely on him because, throughout the first arc, it was just a series of fake-outs making it seem like he liked Hikari, but in reality, we don’t actually know if he does

I do take back what I said about Hikari, though. She's not at fault at all. I actually feel bad for her because her first love ended like that. Hopefully, we get a nice, mature conversation that resolves the problems in their relationship

Having re-read the Hikari Arc, I firmly believe that the Hikari route is dead loll I just don't think Yuu likes Hikari romantically, and will probably end as just childhood friends

---

Now to give strength to the argument that Yuu is an ass, if he knew how Hikari felt and was just leading her on, then yeah, I agree with the comments that he's an absolute fucking asshole that should die in a ditch, because poor Hikari doesn't deserve what happened to her

Having said that, we don't know

---

Last edit, I swear

People on here be saying that he ditched her, or that he promised to be with both Ayami and Hikari, but that just false??

He didn't even want to go to the festival like I said, and the reason he wasn't with Hikari was because he was waiting for Hikari's shift to be done in the maid-cafe

We don't know why Yuu didn't respond, and we don't know how he met again with Yami

He knowing how she felt or not is not important at all.
He love her since childhood no?He even try so hard to get in the same school?
But what happens? He fail….pathetically not to mention he clearly for got his goal and fuck with some girl he just met at the first chance that he got.
‘He clearly easy boy type who only think for himself, He jump at first chance to fuck any girl while talking about his love life.

He pathetically gave up his dream so easily.

 

[Deathhappens]

...yeah, I can see why this chapter has 400+ comments. Dang.

 

[Kami_Nana]

Welp, I didn’t expect this reaction from Hikari at all—it seriously caught me off guard. Also, Yuu really decided to still not be honest with Hikari, huh? At this point, he’s just utterly pathetic. Yami and Yuu truly deserve each other, and Hikari deserves so much better than both of them.

That said, it’s extremely disappointing that after all this time, we still haven’t seen what happened with Yami and Yuu. What led to the slap? And what about the aftermath of the kiss? It’s incredibly frustrating.

Novel Chapter (MTL):

Spoiler

Chapter 36: After the Festival, Before the Storm

"Yami-senpai, I..."
"Shut up! You're just Yuu!"

...

...

It's a Saturday in late September.
Outside, the rain has intensified without notice, accentuating the "darkness" of the night.

The school building, now empty after the cultural festival, has only minimal lighting in parts of the hallway and near the shoe lockers. Both the classrooms and the corridors are likely devoid of people.

However, from the wide-open doors of the gymnasium, where the after-festival event is about to begin, a dazzling light and the cheerful voices of students spill out, as if carrying over the atmosphere from the festival just moments ago.

I... Shirakasa Hikari, am standing in the first-floor hallway of the school building directly opposite the gymnasium.
From the window, I take in the light and commotion from the gym.

...Alone, in the middle of the pitch-dark hallway.

The colorful flyers still pasted on the windows and walls of the surrounding classrooms, and the signs standing in the hallway, only enhance the darkness and silence, making the corridor feel eerily ominous.

No, that's not it.
Perhaps it's just my current state of mind that makes the scene feel eerie and terrifying.

The scene I just witnessed in my own classroom.

The boy I like, Ta-kun, and the girl I like, Aya-chan, were alone together...

Two people who should never have met.
A boy and a girl whose paths should never have crossed.
"Friends of friends" who were supposed to get to know each other from now on...

The conversation between those two keeps spinning around in my head.

Ta-kun called her "Yami-senpai," an old nickname of my best friend.
Aya-chan called him "Yuu," dropping the honorifics as if they were childhood friends.
It might have been a side of them I never knew existed, a "time of their own."

The rain is getting heavier.
Outside the window, the bright and lively gymnasium, just a short distance away, is being obscured by the sound and color of the raindrops.

Yuu: "Hikari..."
Hikari: "......"

Hikari: "Then, why didn’t you check LINE?"
Yuu: "Actually, um... my phone died..."

As if he could see right through my thoughts, he started making excuses for all the times we’d missed each other, even though I hadn’t asked.

But, you know, that’s a lie, right?
Because, just a moment ago, it showed as "read."

Yuu: "And then, I was wandering around the school... before I knew it, it got completely dark..."

Truth is, you probably forgot about me until you checked your phone, didn’t you?
You only started frantically looking for me after you saw the notification, right?

Are you really that shaken up that you’d tell such an obvious lie?

Yuu: "The cultural festival’s over, huh... I’m really sorry."

Yeah, it’s over.

While you were kissing Aya-chan, you know.

...

...

Yuu: "...I get it if you can’t forgive me. Hikari, you were looking forward to it so much, and I ruined it because of my stupid mistake."

It must have been about a minute.
But it felt like an hour.

He kept apologizing to me the whole time.

Yuu: "I... I wanted to go around the festival with you too, Hikari... I really did."
Hikari: "......"

His words, his attitude—they felt so sincere.
At the very least, he was "seriously lying."

He’s clearly shaken up by what happened in the classroom.
Probably feeling incredibly guilty toward me.

And surely...
He genuinely thinks the reason I’ve been silent this whole time is because he stood me up on our promise to go around the festival together.

He doesn’t have the slightest clue that I saw "that moment," does he?

Yuu: "So, cheer up, Hikari..."
Hikari: "......"

Hey, hey, Ta-kun?
You know I wouldn’t make you apologize to me over and over for something like that, right?

Sure, I’d sulk.
I might even cry a little...

But I definitely wouldn’t stay silent—I’d get mad right away.
Then, as you apologized, I’d gradually cheer up, and in the end, I’d forgive you with tears and a smile, right?

And as a sign of making up, I’d probably make a little selfish request, you know?
Like making you treat me to dinner tonight.
Or getting you to promise me our next date.

But one thing’s for sure...
If things were normal, I’d be talking nonstop right now.
I’d be that super chatty, noisy girl.

Are you so distracted by something else that you don’t even notice how off I am?
Like, maybe... thinking about her? Ta-kun...

Hikari: "...Ta-kun."
Yuu: "Ah, H-Hikari!"

At the sound of my voice—the first he’s heard in hours—his expression lights up.

Probably because he thinks the "proper fight" is finally starting.
He believes the moment he’s been waiting for—the moment I’d get mad at him—has arrived.

Hikari: "The cultural festival... it’s not over yet, you know?"
Yuu: "Huh?"
Hikari: "Look, over there."

Without turning to face him...
No, because I don’t want to face him, I point outside the window.

Hikari: "Over there, they’re about to start the after-festival dance party."

There, the gymnasium stands, drawing in students like moths to a flame, a place where everyone continues to gather.

Hikari: "It’s an annual tradition. To celebrate the end of the festival, everyone dances and goes wild together."

It’s a door to paradise, where the lingering afterglow of the festival is shattered in the best way, and everyone lets loose one last time.

Hikari: "Want to go together? Ta-kun..."
Yuu: "But... isn’t the after-festival dance usually just for current students...?"
Hikari: "No... no one really follows that rule, you know?"

I turn to the side.
No, I turn to face him.

I turn away from the window and face him directly.

Hikari: "Let’s dance, okay?"
Yuu: "Hikari..."

I reach out my hand to him.

His profile, illuminated not by moonlight but by the lights from the gymnasium, still carries a look of confusion.

Hikari: "It’s not over yet... right?"

But I desperately steady my trembling voice and fight to keep my crumbling expression in place.

Hikari: "Let’s make this time fun, okay? The cultural festival."

Hey, God.
Am I smiling right now?

Wait, what does it even mean to smile?

...

...

Shirakasa Hikari, 16 years old...

I’m going to confess, right?
No matter what happens, I’m going to confess... right?

---

Thanks for the chapter!

He was pathetic to me the moment he climbed into bed with a girl he just met while supposedly being in love with Hikari. The MFer didn't even try confessing before moving on.

 

[Kami_Nana]

He knowing how she felt or not is not important at all.
He love her since childhood no?He even try so hard to get in the same school?
But what happens? He fail….pathetically not to mention he clearly for got his goal and fuck with some girl he just met at the first chance that he got.
‘He clearly easy boy type who only think for himself, He jump at first chance to fuck any girl while talking about his love life.

He pathetically gave up his dream so easily.

Thank you! Nice to see someone else noticing how flimsy his so-called love was.
