Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 39 - The Long-Avoided Yet Long Awaited Reunion

[huntercheco]

That self-aware title, lol

Because that's a fucking stalker behaviour

Going to look for someone you’ve been in a relationship with doesn’t have to be stalker behaviour. It’s just messy unresolved communication.

Yami communicated poorly and gapped it, and Yuu would have been wondering whats happened to a person that’s important to him.

I roughly agree, but also at the point where he's considering going to the school, he could have also just asked Hikari if she knows Aya b/c him showing up to her school would have probably outed the relationship. Hikari was fairly popular in middle school and 100% is the type to ask around if folks know of someone if she doesn't already know Aya.

With as much of a coward as Yuu is, I don't think he'd ever ask Hikari about Yami as she'd probably want to know why. I can't see Yuu talking about his relationship with Yami (especially since he hasn't brought it up in the manga or novel) to Hikari as he would most likely think it would dampen his chances with Hikari. He's also not a good liar (as evidenced a few chapters ago as he made excuses for not hanging out with Hikari) so I can't see him asking about Yami and then making up a convincing lie as to why he needs this info.

I've said this before but Yuu seems to be very passive and tends to go the route of things happening to him and going with the flow rather than seek out a certain outcome. I think once he realized that Yami had blocked his number he just gave up on her. No way would he wait for Yami at her school (that he may or may not know she's once again attending) or ask Hikari for info. He just gave up and moved on or moved back to pining for Hikari.

But that would involve yuu not being spineless and basically giving away that he knows yami on a personal level. Which according to a lot of people on here is also none of hikari's business.

So damned if you do, damned if you don't. But hey, we wouldn't have had months of flashbacks if it wasn't for that either. Or at least flashbacks were they could have made the two more sympathetic. Can't have that though.

That's my thinking too - my point was more that a story where Yuu goes to the school is one where he could also just ask Hikari b/c it'd be a story where he wants Aya more than he wants to keep his options open with Hikari. Pretty sure this is not that story.

idk why ppl hate on this so much. I enjoyed the twist when it was revealed almost half a year ago. Now finally circling back to it im excited. This manga was very 2d before it, the author was hard carried by their clean character designs which helped with the success of their previous work. Before the twist it was just childhood friend short weekly relying on how cute the mc was. Did cucking the mc help distinguish it greatly? imo not inhrently, of all romance twists even that one was generic but I like the authors attempt at longer formed narratives and back stories thats clearly out of their comfort zone. They suffered from success going into this work and they knew it and if they wanted to be a more respected and rounded mangaka theyd need to take risks. Its just unfortunate that it had to be under the scrutiny of the large fan base they had accumulated.

Yom is not the author, he just draws it. Maruto writes the story and this is basically every story he's ever written.

 

[NotSomeone]

From a "building up drama and explaining POVs" perspective this chapter was great
Even though I think every critique I made towards Yuu and Yami still stands.

 

[Nulll]

I admit I'm curious to see how this went down. My heart is on Yami gave him the kiss of death and told him to go find Hikari. Then he gets all sad but decides to confess to Hikari like she's 2nd place.

My heart wants this because I want him to get dumped twice in an hour

what most likely happend was that he told her he will confess to hikari, she kissed him, he pushed her away and then we have what happened last episode

 

[eviljackspicer]

Getting Yuu's perspective is not going to save this story. I sincerely don't believe it will do anything. If it "did", it would have to be so contrived and forced in order to fit some awkward position that the manga currently has itself.

The multi-chapter side romp-detraction through Yami's backstory to make us feel bad for her only for her to back hand it immediately with both past action of pedo-baiting Hikari and current time kissing Hikari's love interest despite knowing Hikari's feelings, is honestly just not going to do anything.

Hikari outting Yuu in the present was probably the best thing to have happened, period.

 

[Apep23]

That's the best thing, ain't it? A tiny bit of sin is what makes for an entertaining story.

Yeah can agree but the fact that the guy is such a wishy washy wuss is bad lol

 

[AssassinLJ]

Wait? So Yami's also in love with Hikari? Or did I read that wrong?

if it did that makes her character even worse,and she even says she knew who was the guy Hikari likes,I think the author wants to make Yami the biggest POS of the series(succeded)

 

[gmkgoat]

Great chapter. Based and Yamipilled just how I like it.

 

[Meji_0]

Oh so we're going back to Yami's POV... delightful & I'm sure you can tell how excited I am typing all of this. Man I wanted us to continue the story & not circle back. She says loves them but her actions hardly reflect that. Thanks for the translations.

Least masochist reader of this manga

I can't see Yuu talking about his relationship with Yami (especially since he hasn't brought it up in the manga or novel) to Hikari as he would most likely think it would dampen his chances with Hikari.

I don't think it's a matter of chances. It's just awkward more than anything.

 

[Andybot88]

Maruto Fumiaki is my biggest opp

 

[TsundereGyaruYandereLatina]

I dont know where this is gonna go.

Another 100 yami's episode incoming

If we get another 15 chapters of Yami I'm going to lose it

 

[Rifter--]

Hew boy. Here we go. The fated reunion flashback where we finally get more context. Calling my shot, she kissed Yuu, Hikari ran away before seeing him push her away, and then they spent the next hour hashing their relationship issues out, with Yuu eventually saying he would have loved to be with Yami back then, but because she ghosted him, he's moved on and his heart is set on being with Hikari now. That's my guess. We'll see how it goes!

 

[Rifter--]

Is Yuu gonna be rejected by Hikari AND Yami? Lmao

I think the opposite. She was clearly the one leaving in and kissing him when Hikari saw them. I think Yuu rejects Yami here. That's my guess anyway.
