Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita - Ch. 40 - Gears Setting Chaos In Motion

[GreenOwlRanger]

I wonder if this story would be better received if they were too different mangas co-existing along each other and the audience is supposed to fill in the pieces of whether they took place at the same time or at different time periods.

Nah, people can like Yami all they want, but that story of hers is cliche'd as hell, I'd never have even tried the manga if that was the original premise.

 

[GennArc]

Like a "this feels right" for me is much better than a "after this, I just have to" lol

I just don't see how it can feel right after what happened 30 minutes before.

 

[GennArc]

that story of hers is cliche'd as hell, I'd never have even tried the manga if that was the original premise.

Is this why you started this very non-cliché story about a high school girl trying to confess to her childhood friend?

 

[awtystic]

I think we'll go back to the present first then yuu's pov coming have to wait 2 more weeks km already🥹

We never had Yuu's pov

 

[wozbond]

It’s the guy’s duty to make the first move.

He did. And she slapped him for it. Best case scenario now is that they both realise Yami is bonkers.
Then Hikari can wait for him to 'make the first move' AGAIN, but having learnt his lesson, Yuu just friendzones Hikari for several years to see how she likes it. Karma for the win.

 

[Jferrer0]

Ok in defence of You, Tami was his first girlfriend and they were kind of serious too at least from his pov.

Then suddenly after a trip she dumps him and ghosts him, I know first hand what it feels like to be in that situation, she never directly broke up with him or told him goodbye.

You know that the relationship likely won't be fixed, but there is always a part of you that wants to get back together and sabotages every other possible relationship.

Not because you want to but because those unresolved feelings linger and fester, you hope that one day the next time you get a message or a call it is then again.

You blame yourself for not being good enough because you still love them, the live never died, it is frozen in place and you want to believe that if only you change they will come back and take you back.

A part of me wants You and Tami to get back together because I wish me and the person that dumb me could have been together again, even now that wound still lingers only partially healed but still colouring my experience of love.

I think that ultimately You isn't really honest to god in love with Hikari, he still loves her but more so as in the safety she gives him emotionally, she is exactly what he would need to heal from Yami.

Hikari loves him wholeheartedly and wouldn't abandon him, the way Yami did, while he may only be able to give a part of his heart to Hikari at this moment I believe eventually he would heal and be able to truly genuinely love her with everything he has.

Sadly the way that Hikari misunderstood things will, if not solved properly, lead him to seek Yami because the worst feelings and anxieties he has would have him seek the approval and affection of his previous partner.

Man it's like we've been in this moment for the past year and a half.

At least we got a new angle on the moment though.

 

[frankieMuniez]

There are few things more cathartic than being proven entirely correct and seeing evidence that Yami deliberately did all this to destroy everyone's relationships. Truly peak.

 

[Silbo]

Yami bros... it ain't looking good for us...

 

[Aezeryel]

I’m no doctor but Yami is exhibiting real bipolar behavior even if she’s aware of what she’s doing is wrong. Going from saying goodbye to yelling then slapping & finally kissing him… am I wrong to say that something isn’t right? Like she ghosted him, do you really think any real & sane guy would go blood hound looking for her… NO (unless he’s psychotic). Thanks for the translations.

Considering how fucked up her childhood was, it's not surprising at all she'd develop psychological issues.

 

[noleafclover75]

The thing is the moment she ghosted him, trust was broken. Yeah, he loves her, but how do you act around someone after they unilaterally break communication with no explanation. I couldn't trust their word if we encountered in the future unless they explain to me, and depending on what it was, trust couldn't be the same. And yeah, he and his hormonated ass tried to tell her he loved her like the dork ass teen he is, but you can tell he really doesn't know how to handle the situation because it's a very hostile one towards him on the basis she is the one who cut off him, she is the one who has a problem with him, not the other way around. Who wants to be burned by something like this?

That's exactly why i said she played stupid games and won a stupid prize. But he told her he would be there for her and loved her.

My whole point, is he didn't even try for a resolution. If someone you loved just all of a sudden stopped talking to you and disappeared, you would at least try to find them and have closure. He knows where one of her houses were as well, leave a letter or a note. She very well may not respond to it but at least he would have closure on his end.

But to say you love someone, and then not even try to find closure just tells me he never truly loved her at all and she was just a sex friend that made him feel better about himself. Which is artificial as well.

So to me there is not one thing about this situation that makes Yuu or Yami look good.

Yami is a pyschopath and a downright terrible person.

Yuu is a woe-is-me useless man who found comfort in a hoe, and the hoe did hoe behavior to him. I am shocked, shocked I say. I wouldn't be so hard on the man if he didn't say he was trying to do all this for hikari to another woman and then turn around and fuck that woman that night. Some deep surface-level affection you have there buddy.

Now we are most likely to have yet another fucking flashback that may put him in a better light, but at this point. I don't care, he is still a worthless man who will only ever make sistuations worse and not better. He needs to fix himself before he can think about love at this point. If he can't do that, all he will have is failed relationships.

 

[GennArc]

He knows where one of her houses were as well

He doesn't though, or at least it was never said he knew. We always saw them meet on a neutral ground or talk via phone.
And what we are sure of is that she did not know where he lived (as shown in that 21.5 extra aka sleepover chapter). So most likely the same applies to him too.

 

[frankieMuniez]

sh DIDN'T SAW HER. It's literally written right there.

She didn't see her response, she still knew she was there.

 

[Deathhappens]

Goddamn it. Hurts to read.

 

[Kalbiaczek]

Thx for the TL!


Nah fuck him still. Nothing has changed
Hikari deserves so much better than him
He and yami (even tho i do sympathize with her terrible home life) can go FUCK THEMSELVES






couple hours later edit


so i wanted to read some of these comments and then do a quick reread of the entire manga just in case i forgot anything major.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but i want to make my reasons clear for why I don't like Yuu. to start, Yami is worse than yuu, im just giving some reasonings on why i dislike yuu and why he doesn't derserve hikari. The reason why I dislike Yuu is because he is unwilling to confront the truth for hikari. To start off, I decided to do another reread of the manga, and its very clear that early on, yuu always was thinking of yami post breakup. To start, chapter 12, now knowing the majority of the timeline (unless we got yuu's pov from that far back), its clear that yuu was refering to yami, not hikari. We just assumed it was hikari bc we didn't know the history yet. Also side note, on page 2, Yuu admits that he went on a date with pigtail girl, so i don't believe he always loved hikari since childhood (actually idk if he said he loves hikari since childhood or since start of highschool so i could be wrong). And yes, she asked him, but that doesn't excuse anything, he still choose to go on a date.

Chapter 16, pages 2-4, now knowing the history (aka the middle school arc between yuu and yami), its clear that the reason why yuu wanted to shift the conversation and having that forced smile was bc he didn't want to reveal that he was in a relationship prior to his feelings. if you reread the chapter, its clear that yuu never quickly denies the dating rumors, its cus he was dating, he wasn't dating hikari though. he didn't want to reveal to them that he was in a prior relationship.

side note for chapter 17, i think a lot of people are misinterpretating what hikari says about if yuu confessed when they were younger. the exact line from page 5 is "If he told me he liked me at that time.......... For me back then, who's never even had the idea of love cross her mind, maybe I would have turned him down" The key word is maybe, she wouldn't have known if she would reject his feelings or not. She only thought of him as a childhood friend when they were younger, she wasn't expecting him to confess his feelings to her, so she wouldn't know how to react. She's not outright rejecting, she just was unsure.

chapter 19, it is clear that the reason why Yuu didn't originally want to go to the festival was because he knew yami was there. he didn't want to confront her. In this chapter, chapter 40 page 15, yami yells at yuu that he knew she went to the same school for over a year didn't he. I disagree to the argument that yuu wanted to get closure, he didn't want closure, he had to confront yami before confessing to hikari. He didn't want to go to the festival bc he was worried that he and hikari was gonna run into yami and their relationship was gonna get revealed. He only went bc hikari was begging and looked upset that he rejected her. if he really cared about closure and making hikari his #1 priority, he could've just left when he said bye, but he chose to stay. if he really wanted closure, he has a year to meet yami to end it.

with those reminders and my interpretations of those chapters, the reason why I very much dislike Yuu is because he was not going to tell hikari the truth about his relationship with yami. He did not want to tell her, he wanted to avoid yami while trying to get closer to hikari. with the last 3 chapters. as a reminder chapter 40 takes place right before the confession, 38-39. on page4 of ch40, he gets 100% confirmation that yami and hikari are very close friends. this is the key part of why i dislike him, sorry for repeating alot. he confesses to hikari without ever telling her about their relationship. that is complete bs for him to act like he really loved hikari but not tell her about his past. TO BE CLEAR, I don't have a problem with him having past relationships, everyone is allowed a past. The problem is that because he and yami are so revelant to hikari's current friendships and bonds, it is so disrespectful that he never tells her about his past with yami. we see in chapter 38-39, he had no plans of telling her about yami. he just want to get with hikari without thinking of telling her the truth. if it wasn't for hikari seeing them kiss, she would've been lied too. and yes, yami forced a kiss on yuu, BUT yuu never told her about to kiss (aka the i hate liars in the end of ch39). I also find it dumb that yuu clearly thinks he can just date hikari and not ever run into yami when he knows that they are best friends. TBC again, all of this also applies to ayami, i think she is worse, im just talking about yuu. and before anyone says, lets says next chapter before hikari says another word, yuu confesses about ayami, that doesn't change anything, he wanted to get her to go out with him before telling the truth, nothing would have changed.

Yuu said he loves hikari for a long time, but clearly didn't respect her enough to be honest with her.

TO REITERATE, i don't have a problem with yuu having a prior relationship with ayami, i'm upset that he never choose to tell hikari the truth about him and yami past relationship at any point. there has truth and respect in a relationship, but yuu wanted to avoid and lie, so I do not like him, hikari deserves so much better,

my apologizes for the ranting, i just wanted to give my reasoninings why i don't like him. If you disagree with me, i am happy for you. I am not here to change anyone's mind. at the end of the day we can all just agree to disagree. If you read all this, thank you and apologizes for any misspellings.

I hate both Yuu and Yami she used him and he all tho he's still thinking about Yami tries to convince hikair that he loves her and they should be together, he isn't as innocent as he looks ofcurse I blame Yami for making him fall for her but he also was too easy to do so and he said to hikari that he loved her since forever like he didn't just had a reunion with his first time saying that he wants to still be with her, for me Yami is a whore and Yuu is a fucker both deserve disrespect because both of them hurt hikari just thinking about themsefes hikari deserves way better

 

[Kalbiaczek]

Yuu's verdict: Innocent I guess?

Kinda but still he's saying that he loves hikari all tho he already did it with Yami and also wanted to get back to her yes he got used by Yami but It doesn't make him innocent if he loved hikari he wouldn't just do what he did

 

[Greinhmorf]

There are few things more cathartic than being proven entirely correct and seeing evidence that Yami deliberately did all this to destroy everyone's relationships. Truly peak.

Hah? She just had a crash out. It's not like she did it to destroy anyone, and it's obvious that she saw Hikari after she kissed Yuu.
Do you guys even read the damm bubles?

 

[mug3n]

Yuu is a woe-is-me useless man who found comfort in a hoe, and the hoe did hoe behavior to him. I am shocked, shocked I say. I wouldn't be so hard on the man if he didn't say he was trying to do all this for hikari to another woman and then turn around and fuck that woman that night. Some deep surface-level affection you have there buddy.

No, he is not a man, he is a kid. That's the point, he is an inexperienced kid who emotionally connected with a another unstable kid and things went wrong and didn't know what to do about it. Why are we pretending they are adults?

I don't even really give shit to Yami for ghosting him. I understand she has problems and she is not mature enough to not know how to handle the situation properly by facing him, what it irks me about her is the rest of her very toxic behaviour.

 

[HeyJudas]

PLEASEEEEE NIGGA YUU SHOULD BE ALONEEEE NIGGA SHAGGED HER AND LEFT FOR HIKARIIII FUCK THATTTT NAHH HIKARI SHOULD BE WITH ANOTHER MAN THAT ACTUALLY HAS A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY

 

[Burner5]

PLEASEEEEE NIGGA YUU SHOULD BE ALONEEEE NIGGA SHAGGED HER AND LEFT FOR HIKARIIII FUCK THATTTT NAHH HIKARI SHOULD BE WITH ANOTHER MAN THAT ACTUALLY HAS A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY

Yami left him though. She ghosted and then later blocked him. This all happened before Hikari had any romantic feelings for Yuu.
