Now, I totally understand where you're coming from, and I respect your decision to wait until the next chapter to see how things play out before making any judgment on Tsubasa's actions. However, I don’t know if I can fully agree with that.

If we factor in both the previous chapter and this one, her backstory shows that she has a history of letting her insecurities get the best of her. You’re right that her insecurities have led her to drinking, and that is true. But in the previous chapter, she even notes that she admires Anju for being so direct. Then, when Tsubasa finally tries to be direct herself, instead of doubling down on her confession or clarifying what she meant, she backs down and interprets Hiromi’s confusion as a rejection, even though he didn’t understand what she was trying to say.

That moment played directly into her insecurities. She took it as an indirect rejection, but it wasn’t one. If it had been an actual rejection, Hiromi would have at least understood where she was coming from when she confessed. He didn’t see it that way simply because he had no idea she had those kinds of feelings for him.

This lack of confidence is what drove her to drink, and because of that, she ended up sleeping with her coworker. Yes, you can say alcohol played a role, but keep in mind she’s a 27-year-old woman. This likely isn’t her first time drinking heavily or making this kind of decision. She was vulnerable, and she let that vulnerability take control, which is why she slept with her coworker.

That’s why I’m still very disappointed. Being drunk can remove fear, but it doesn’t erase the reasons behind why she did what she did. At the end of the day, she just wanted to feel wanted, and her coworker gave her that in the moment, but that moment was created off a misunderstanding, not an actual rejection.

Now, it’s possible this could lead to her moving on from Hiromi, but if the writer takes it in that direction, I’d find it disappointing. It would feel that way because we never really got to see her properly pursue Hiromi, or at least go on a date with him to see if something could work. If this is her way of moving on, I’d be disappointed, but I’d also understand.

Like I said from the start, I’m not angry with her, but I am very disappointed in her actions in this chapter. If the next chapter reveals she was just drunk and nothing more, then I’ll gladly take that back. But chapters 49 and 50 clearly show a pattern of vulnerability and the actions that come with it.

at least from my experience with the author, she wasn't that drunk, but she will feel super guilty and will test her luck with the coworker (I'm like 99% sure it's a subordinate), and then a dramatic moment when Hiromi goes back home and she will try to go on the race again.


I feel like the go back to his home arc was going so well, he was actually learning and the talk about marriage was actually good as he got some good examples of that it could go terribly wrong but with different results to start to think for himself, but she can't help herself from inserting drama again.

she also didn't appear as drunk as she's been in the past, to the point where she was stripping in front of Hiromi or passed out half-naked on his bed.
So I'm kind of inclined to think she wasn't intoxicated to the point where it was fully clouding her thoughts in the moment.

Whether she wakes up and tries to blame it on alcohol, is another matter - and if she did (and wasn't so drunk that it's the truth), then that reinforces your point of her having a pattern of simply running away instead of confronting things, thus making more & bigger problems for herself.|

I get what you mean, though - I think the part of me that wants her to move on just sees the drama flags and doesn't want that to take up more time waiting for chapters when there's 4-5 other women that need screentime as well. But, again, it's drama, and that's the author's go-to so I can't imagine it'll not be maximized within the narrative.

But you also make a good point in that Hiromi hasn't dated Tsubasa yet, and I think he will ultimately work his way through each of them at least once, learning things along the way about what it means to be in a relationship and developing his own identity further in the process. It would check the Drama! box for the author, allow for tons of character development, and actually utilize the entirety of the main cast within the story. So from that perspective, I'd be more surprised if she doesn't try to keep pursuing him, in the end.

People talk about how he's dense but given his history I just feel like he's being overly cautious. Remember that he just got dumped before, and now suddenly that girl asked to get back? I would certainly think "nah, ain't no way".

Lili also said nothing at all about any of it to him until this very moment, and he's been operating under the assumption that Lili just wanted to end things, and so I could very much see him interpreting this as "well she probably just wants to try and be friends again since we'll still be under the same roof".
Everything that Lili's been feeling in terms of "wow I think I fucked up breaking up with Hiromi" has been entirely in her own head with none of it expressed toward him.

She finally tried when there were 4 seconds on the clock with none of the groundwork, and this is the result.

Best girl loses again...

If you mean Tsubasa, does she really? Yeah, rejection sucks, but seems like she's set with another guy, so I'd call it a win

 

[meer1]

man idk where is this going and the dude just takes advantage of a vulnerable woman is just stupid, it's real and I fucking hate it so much because she's the better person from all the women here.

you mean set with a random guy who's taking advantage of her, is this your view of a good relationship? why so twisted

 

[rajoku]

There goes my favorite girl

I hate it if end game girl is always nadeshiko type.

 

[BestBoy]

before this moment she never gave him any real hint that she had feelings for him

It's been a while since I read the Tsubasa chapters, but didn't she suggest they make the fake engagement thing real? Or imply it in some way?

 

[poba]

This is like the Aliens scene where everybody is getting killed one by one and they show the screen with their heartrates flatlining.
Actually this is like the Incredibles scene where they show all the supereheroes crossed out one by one

 

[gmayor61]

You never really pay much mind to it in romcoms because obviously the rom part isn't the focus but man, it really is crazy how much shorter these stories could be if one of the girls actually took initiative (but in a normal way, not fucking proposing at the doorstep out of nowhere like you're asking if he's got milk in his fridge, seriously what the hell you MAD HAG IN HEAT)

 

[Widi70kg]

Fuck you author

 

[Widi70kg]

50 chapters just to basically end up where we started.

I'm finding it harder and harder to care.

Me too, especially for me that consider tsubasa was best girl

 

[chusetto]

I don't really care who he ends with... Anyone but Lilly, of course

 

[Asch201]

I hope ch 51 raws come out soon because I want to know about Tsubasa's morning after. Nothing's really set in stone unless it's been spelled out this manga.

 

[blablablub]

Sharemate zoned.

 

[Imryse]

best girl already lost dunno if i will continue reading now

 

[CrimsonComet3]

I was wrong last chapter Tsubasa-bros. It's so over that it never even began...
