Imasara desuga, Osananajimi o Suki ni Natteshimaimashita - Ch. 50 - Six Hours, Just The Two Of Them (First Half)

[Jachinz]

Made it through the paragraphs. I'm glad that you all haven't disappointed me in your numerous takes and opinions.
See y'all when the slop updates again.

Ok

 

[GennArc]

And she noticed that their relationship had become distant, which yeah might be a better way to phrase it than Yuu being stuck on something else:

Which that's more or less the timeline Yuu gives for when he's ready to start moving on:

Sure, but this doesn't let us differentiate between "she didn't make a move until the distance closed" and "she couldn't muster up the courage to start anything for so long that he recovered from his break-up", it's impossible to tell which is it.

 

[MarcoMook]

. . . In short, mangadex's great trauma with Yami is that she committed the terrible crime of having premarital sex with her boyfriend in love hotels while they were both underage.

What a horribly disingenuous strawman. Can't even dignify it by calling it bait. What a grand and intoxicating innocence.

Last line is a Morrowind reference in case anyone isn't familiar

In the unlikely event you were genuine, most everyone here are openly pointing out Yami actively contributes to her problems. Nobody cares about the premarital sex. Maybe one guy does. Good for him.

What people hate is she actively tries to alienate people that care about her. It's hard to feel compassion let alone pity for a person that openly refuses to solve their problems. And it's annoying because we ALL know someone like this.

I can't believe we are wasting YOM talent for this dumpster fire... going from Ganbare Douki-chan to this... infuriating !!

Fair, and also that moping period is also when Hikari met Aya and got caught up in that friendship/prioritizing Aya. Which I totally forgot about this, but apparently it also took till the end of third term (so beginning of spring)
for Hikari to settle that the feelings she's feeling are romantic:

Ayami: "Your guy you're curious about has officially leveled up to guy you like, hasn't he?"

Which I think itself puts the "she has feelings and isn't confessing" timeline as the few months I'd originally responded to w/ a well actually. 🤦‍♀️

I never said otherwise; Yami is like that. What I'm saying is that this attitude from you all seems way over the top when the only truly "immoral" act Yami has committed was having premarital sex with her boyfriend in love hotels. Incidentally, that's also why everyone here is insulting Yuu, even though he never had the attitude you described (at most, he could be accused of being passive and submissive, but again, Hikari already knew Yuu was like that and still chose to be his friend first and then fall in love with him). Therefore, you're wrong.
Would Yuu and especially Hikari be better off without her? Undoubtedly. Does Yami have serious psychological problems and should she be in therapy instead of trying to reconcile with her ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend, and still using them both as therapists? Undoubtedly. That doesn't change the fact that Yami still hasn't done anything immoral or, above all, illegal to justify how she's being talked about here on Mangadex as if she were some kind of f*cking villain.
She's just an immature and traumatized girl hurting herself and anyone who tries to get close to her. She's still not truly evil beyond Yami's edgy delusions. Nobody's saying you have to like the character of Aya. But to talk about her as if she were the worst of the worst...
From there to how everyone here describes her as a scoundrel and a piece of shit who did such horrible things that she should be in jail, well, no, Yami doesn't even come close to that description. Even Kamiya fits better. Kamiya at least almost destroyed a real and already established romantic relationship (the one between the MC and Shikimori). Yami doesn't even do that.

I mean, this actually confirms that Hikari also fell in love with Aya, and that he ends up falling in love with Yuu —at the same time— because in his post-breakup depression, he adopts several aspects of Yami's personality. In other words, we can pretty much confirm a love triangle in the near future, and not in an ironic way.

It could be that it took her this long to admit it to her friends rather than to realize it herself. As the same chapter says, Yami was the only one she ever told about him before, she didn't say a word to Haru or Yuki, meaning she was likely embarassed to talk about it.

Harem ending ?

 

[vipguy64]

Don't forget to tag the person involved.
@vipguy64

I don't scanlate this, I just upload on behalf of Shiroi on X/Twitter. I'll let him know, but he reads these comments to so he probably saw it. Ned is supposed to be end.

She echos the "full blown feelings in spring timeline" in her musings on Yuu:

Ever since I became a second-year, I've been making up excuses pretty much every week, claiming I had class duties or sports festival practices.
<...>
Even now, looking up from this close distance at the face of the boy I'm into, I still can't tell what's changed about him compared to a few months back, when he wasn't all that special to me.

When she first tells Aya, she's explicit that she's not sure what she's feeling:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/3bd58d0e-0fc5-4988-9d07-219c4ed2a79d/6


Also complete shift in direction but this frustration from Hikari in chap 12 is so very appropriate for this arc:

Back then, every time he'd go through these little trial runs and breakups, I'd get all annoyed, like, Ugh, get it together already!
But now, knowing he's still doing these little trial runs...

I mean, yeah, I'm still thinking, Get it together already! But this time, it's more like, Don't string them along, just turn them down

Its funny seeing people so up in arms and vitriolic about a girl who kissed her best friend's crush at a school festival. Like thats such high school drama shit Im shocked people take it so seriously. I can understand why the characters take it seriously cuz theyre high schoolers but I feel like for all their whining about being terrible awful people everyone in this Manga is just guilty of being 17.

 

[GennArc]

She echos the "full blown feelings in spring timeline" in her musings on Yuu:

This again could be when she mustered up the courage to actually do something.
Besides, when she is reminiscing in chapter 9, she goes

...But then again, that's how it always was between us back then. He really was just like a little brother to me.

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.

All in all, I still maintain that there's no telling which is it.

As I said, all that illegal teenage sex in love hotels messed with their heads. Beyond that, this is just a very typical romance drama; I mean, there isn't even any real adultery or cheating, let´s not say NTR. At most, from Hikari's point of view, it amounts to "Ta-kun's toxic ex-girlfriend managed to sabotage my confession to him". Remember, Hikari's pain in chapter 21 isn't mainly because Yuu has an ex-girlfriend, or because he's arguing with her as if he still has feelings for her... it's because THAT GIRL is "Aya-chan", Hikari's dearest best friend.
Hikari even dissociates at times and starts thinking that "Aya-chan" and "Yami-senpai" are two different girls.

Is it normal 17yo behaviour to try and get a classmate raped by a client?

 

[funne]

Is this manga gonna end with Yami as the winning heroine and Hikari as the losing heroine?

thank you for translation

I hope so; neither of them deserves Hikari as a friend or girlfriend.

 

[wozbond]

Agreed. Yuu hasn't done enough wrong to deserve Hikari. He deserves better.

 

[Yotomoe]

Is it normal 17yo behaviour to try and get a classmate raped by a client?

Ill be completely honest. Neither the story nor the characters take that moment all that seriously so Im inclined not to either. Just comes across as an edgy joke on part of the author.

I'm telling you people yami and hikari are going to end up in a lesbian relationship while yuu ends up with the kouhai trust me bros frfr
