I can't be upset about something I saw miles away. Like skywriting, or painting graffiti on Mount Rushmore, or a blood red sunset. Lili was the youngest and least financially stable flatmate- she should be dating around and finding herself, not settling down.

Rise up Tsubasa gang.

So... what’s Sasuga Kei’s plan here? Is she making him "date" all the girls before he finally "chooses" one? If that’s the plan, it’s kind of dull. Not that I’d expect anything better from Sasuga Kei.

Thanks for the chapter!
The plan if for Lili to get Railed by classmate only to realize she messed up
hiromi will likely also get Into a relationship & actually have a good time until he & lili reconnect where he sees her miserable & he suddenly rekindles his lost feelings for her
he will then proceed to ruin his stable life for lili who can’t seem to break free from becoMing a Girl Failure
Hiromi & classmate clash & classmate shows their true self & dumps Lili publicly humiliating her
lili & hiromi show pda & are officially together again but hiromi now has to deal with the consequences of his actions cuz his stable life is over

if anything you’ll feel for whoever hiromi ends up with after lili

Lili was the youngest
I believe the idol girl is younger.

I think what's happening here is that Hiromi is experiencing arrested development while Lili is maturing past him. He's still stuck in this insecurity he had right after his girlfriend left him.

Actually this, but with the twist that MC is gonna end up,going back with the ex by the end.

Imma kinda getting what Sasuga is trying to depict: Hiromi ends dating every girl as an attempt at getting over his ex, but im the end, shit ensues and the MC gonna end breaking up with the girl of the arc. Not counting thay, every fucking time she comes back to his life, he always ends up falling back into fucking her insides in a quite careless way. The other issue: the rule of the cohab plot: no romance inside the house.

Speaking about the ex, have this stingy feeling she is gonna have character development™ . MC telling the ex to take a hike the last time isn't a one time shit. And her methods can be quite telenovelistic. However, that would force MC's development too.

The series title, even if it's about the MC, may also point ay the ex once she realizes no man would date a soon-to-be single mommy.

Think it's worse than that...

The feeling i'm getting is that Hiromi is running away from his ex and deep down he'll never get over her. And he is gonna run into every one of his roomies until he gets forced to accept the root of his issues and properly confronting them. And his moment when he told his ex to fuck off because of finding out her true intentions is very likely gonna kickstart some developments for her in the future.

Can’t believe this fall short quickly. I expect few more chapter until break up. Lately NTR seems to be popular in japan. I just hope this not end with Hiromi get hurt by getting cheated all along with all girls.

Calling it now. She's gonna be the end girl. They'll break up, he'll try the other chicks but some bs will happen and in the end he'll realize it was always her.

This arc has been a train of anxiety, depression, and misery cars. I'm glad it is chugging off permanently. I sincerely hope it doesn't turn into a flavor of the month relationship. Just give the poor guy a break already and the family he always wanted with a partner who can make him be the best person he can while they are the best person they can be.

This chapter has me extremely upset. I’ve been sitting here for the last 20–25 minutes trying to articulate what I want to say. But I'll say this—Hiromi was doing his best to be supportive of Lili. Even though he felt jealous, he still supported her artistic dream, making treats for her and her friends. And yet, this man had to sit there and watch as another guy—who could potentially be Lili's new boyfriend—became something he wasn’t.

This is exactly why I say never date a woman with a male best friend. You will regret it. I'm telling you. Whenever y’all go through something, she’s running back and telling him y’all’s business—and trust me, you do not want that.

And in Hiromi’s case? All he did was try to be supportive. Yeah, he got jealous—rightfully so. He wasn’t trying to make a scene, but it’s not like Lili even defended their relationship at that table. She just said, stop. That’s it. And now she suddenly wants to break up? After admitting she was using her work as an excuse to overlook how he felt?

I don’t care what y’all say—she would not be breaking up with Hiromi unless her feelings for Hodoka were real. Period.

Now that it’s come to this, Hiromi better not ever go back to her. I don’t care what happens. And I guarantee you, next chapter is gonna be some bullshit about how she’s breaking up with him because she’s "worried about him" instead of herself.

But let’s be real—she’s breaking up with him because she knows she put him in an uncompromising position. Anybody would be jealous and say some off-the-wall shit in that moment. Yet Hiromi only said the bare minimum. You cannot tell me you wouldn’t react the same way if people were sitting there, right in front of your face, saying, Hey, that guy is a better fit for your girlfriend.

If those women knew they were dating, they wouldn’t have said that. But thanks to the house rules, Lili couldn’t tell them they were in a relationship. Still, she could have spoken up and said she wasn’t interested because she was in love with someone else. But she didn’t.

And now she wants to break up? Cool. Then Hiromi better not beg or plead with her to change her mind. Let her ass go. If he wants to be friends, don’t even be friends now. Maybe later. For now? Hiromi needs to stay the cool dude he’s been since day one. Don’t treat her differently, but keep her at arm’s length.

And I guarantee you, next chapter is gonna be some more bullshit.

Honestly, after Hiromi broke up with his ex for trying to use him, he should have taken a step back, reassessed the situation, and focused on growing as a person. Instead, he jumped straight into a relationship with Lili.

Now, regardless of how you feel about the situation, I personally believe Lili is completely in the wrong. Because even if Hiromi was jealous, he tried his hardest not to let it get the best of him. He supported her with everything he had because he genuinely wanted her to be happy—he didn’t want to add to her stress.

That’s just my opinion.

But instead of seeing his point of view, she wants to call it quits. And if that’s the case? Cool. Let her go.

But I hope the writer doesn’t do all this jumping around, only to have Hiromi go back to her by the end of the series. Because personally? I don’t think she deserves it. She should just stay a friend—nothing more. Let her be happy with someone else. If it’s Hodoka, fine. But Hiromi doesn’t deserve that right now. He needs someone on his level—someone who actually understands what he’s going through.

Because let’s be real—going from one relationship straight into another is not easy. But no matter how you look at it, Hiromi was faithful. He wasn’t out here flirting with other women. He didn’t have a female best friend he was clinging to.

And when Lili was jealous? He tried to comfort her. But we’re not seeing that same effort from Lili.

So yeah, if she wants to quit the relationship? Good. That’s good for Hiromi, because he needs to grow. It might look bad now, but Lili is just starting her life. She doesn’t really know what it means to be in a relationship—and she clearly doesn’t want to fight for it.

Like, why is it always him who has to apologize when she’s the one in the wrong? She wasn’t fighting for their relationship. She didn’t even try.

Real shit—it’s him. Even when he talks to her, he apologizes for his wrongdoing. But anybody in his position would be jealous. Anybody would feel some type of way—especially when you're sitting in a room with people you know, and they’re saying, Hey, that guy is a better fit for your girlfriend.

And the best Lili can come up with is:
"Hey, don’t say that."
"Hey, stop it."
"I said, stop it."

Like… come on now.

For me, that’s it. So after they break up, I hope Hiromi takes a step back and learns to be happy for himself. And when he finds the right woman—hopefully one of the other four—things will finally change for him.

And I hope the writer isn’t dumb enough to have him go back to her by the end of the series.

That’s just my opinion.

I agree with pretty much everything you said, but, it's Sasuga Kei; that's just her style. There's gonna be a lot more bullshit, and there's a very good chance he ends up with lili or even the ex at the end of the series. I'd say just don't take it super seriously and enjoy the dumpster fire for what it is.
