I think it's a unique spin on the genre, but unexpected, causing confusion. Part 1 is basically just an innocent girl's first crush and experience in lala land where everything is simple and happy. Part 2 opens with the glass shattering to reveal real life. Real life isn't simple or pretty. Real life comes with baggage.

I feel like this is a story about a naive girl who dreams of a fairytale romance being confronted by the ugly truth that is the real world, and honestly I'm kind of interested.

unexpected is one way of putting it. like sure, the author laid out a lot of hints that you can pick up on in retrospect, but in order to do that you have to read up until the big tonal/genre shift that just happened and we're at least 30+ weeks into publication. if you want to do a bait and switch like this then it should probably should have happened pretty early on or it should have been a switch to something that's at least similar to the bait.
it doesn't really matter to me how good or well written the story turns out to be from this point forward. i hit my lifetime quota of dramatic teenage love triangles a very long time ago and i wouldn't have bothered following this had i known that's what it'd be.

Just by the tone, I don't think this will end up like a typical love triangle situation. I think it's going to be a more emotionally driven situation, as it was only a year and a half ago that those two met, and yet they're not together and he's not interested in her, so if anything there's negative emotions not positive. If anything, it's going to be hella angst for the MC.

Dropped it after 21. Wanted wholesome romance, got nonsense instead.

If you're gonna go the drama route, at least hint towards it or make it believable. Bait & switching with cheap writing for shock is lame

just like some comments before says : the hints were always there, we are just to naive too catch it
-The title literally say it was too late for Hikari to like him just now.
-Yuu never shown any romantical interest to Hikari.
-Hikari called him Taa-kun, so Aya only realize it after.
-He hesitated to go the school festival, knowing his ex is there
-He got flustered when Hikari asked too much abt her ex.nd many other little hints.

reareading from chapter 1 and i realize things are planned beforehand.

How many 1 stars were spammed by the 'muh ntr' crowd after reading chapter 21?
I contemplate that many readers are so coddled/infatuated by self-insert nothingburger mangas that the idea of a story with a meaningful 'exposition->conflict->climax->resolution' structure is heretical to them. Cheers to the author for the interesting development.

Or, you simply like it and you are fine with it. It has nothing to do, with your structure, many people like me just didn't expect this type of development or like it, we didn't sign for it, it was pushed outta nowhere regardless of how you think of it, And "the hints were there" has to be dumbest argument I've seen still. But hey that's just my opinion, I'm out regardless

 

[thedinowarrior]

Guys if you a cuck, start from chapter 21, if you a normal dude finish on chapter 20, GL future readers 😂

 

[asmellyfox]

mmm mm i love melancholic slop,

but real life is full of sadness and baggage and stinks and think of the foreshadowing

people and characters alike are allowed to make good or even just mediocre decisions, it is incredibly disappointing to see the prospect of an otherwise solid kid with no real issues other than an academic hiccup fuck the whole thing up this hard
this story is literally just

People be like "what 0 pussy does to a mf" but I've seen what pussy does to a mf and it's much worse

Given that it's already known that

Spoiler

Ayami has had a relationship with Ta-kun there and is a truant most likely due to the actions of her new step-father

there doesn't seem to be any point continuing this. What catharsis is there knowing that an otherwise irredeemable sequence of actions (ch 21) have already occured. There is no resolution, there is no further understanding, no character motivations that could possibly excuse this. No sob story of Ayami having been

Spoiler

abused and wanting to enjoy her power over Ta-kun

or he having been so devastated by

Spoiler

his failure to enter into the same school as Hikari.

Teenage RomComs are built off character intrigue and the audience enjoying the interactions of the cast as they fumble awkwardly through adolescence into a healthy relationship. To provide an alright introduction to a teen romcom only for it to pivot into a very overdone drama scenario is awful. The foreshadowing done by the author was in no way rewarding and very inconsistent. From people claiming he has no interest in her seemingly selectively ignoring things like ch.7 or ch.12 & ch.18 (you could spin this like it was for Ayami but that would be a tough sell). To how in ch.11 it's displayed that Ta-kun has, at minimum, been discussed amongst Hikari's friend group which contains Ayami who is somehow unaware or nonchalant about Hikari and Ta-kun, who in ch.21 shows a very emotional response making the whole scenario a bit of a blindsiding as well as creating a pretty shitty ultimatum. If Ayami was aware of who the subject of Hikari's infatuation was and still made no mention of her prior involvement, or her being wholly unaware who Ta-kun could've been and not coming clean in ch.21 makes her a pretty lousy person/friend. Someone whom I have no interest in learning more about, but it seems that's what we're gonna get.
So I guess that's it, I don't see the author recovering this one, hope Yom finds a better story to adapt next time.

 

[Insev]

idk i like the tone shift, the change of narrator feels great and i am curious about other characters' past

i think you guys are overreacting about this tho, we know nothing about Ayami, i don't think she'll get redeemed (which will 100% be decided by if she knew that he was hikari's crush imo) but she will be useful as a way to understand better Ta-kun's character because we know even less than Ayami about him.


fyi: getting slapped and kissed by a girl you just rejected is a thing that happens and it's not the end of the world (imo that's what happened in ch.21), it happened to me at least

 

[thedinowarrior]

Well this and the hungry mom ( harapeko ) are two rage inducing comics.

Reminded me of pure trash, now my mood has fouled

 

[TestAddress]

CANT HAVE SHIT IN THIS HOUSE FUCK THIS BITCH ASS FRIEND, COME ON NOW THATS YOUR D-A-W-G YOU DONT FUCK OVER YOUR HOMIE NAWWWW

This kind of plot belongs to hentai!

Like looking at some hentai plot page by page ... discussion, discussion, face to face, BOOM! SEGGS!

 

[Drey]

Ok this tonal shift is annoying, "hints" or no hints.

 

[stinkypoopyyy]

Based author. I hope he doubles down on the NTR route. There is nothing I hate more than milquetoast romcom characters, both male and female and I've always wanted to see a manga where they're dealt with "realistically". The MC is childish and immature and doesn't stop to consider the feelings of the man she supposedly loves and hasn't done so for the past decade.

 

[Miqella]

I'm really surprised, I didn't see that coming at all. Although I would have liked Yami to be less.... evil like.... She goes too far outside the tone of the other characters.

Let's see what the author goes with this.

 

[YAMEROOO3]

This manga has an identity crisis

 

[Anoniempje]

My God do I see a bunch of cry babies in this comment section. God forbid a manga might actually suprise you and not adhere to your preconceived notions of whats gonna happen. Imagine crying over the red wedding in Game of Thrones because "it's not supposed to happen in a fantasy story!" and that you're owed a traditional fantasy story because you started watching it. Are some of you guys so insecure in your love lives that the existence of NTR in a story triggers crying, seething and acting like a baby?

 

[MasterPannya]

Rating's down to 6 stars bros.

What it all worth it? Was this series really that worth it?

Or should we revamp the rating the whole system?

 

[f5inet]

almost dropped it on chapter 18-19, but now... NOW... I AM HUGELY ONBOARD!!!

an incredible development. a complete re-read is a must to view all the foreshadowing!
