It's Not Meguro-san's First Time - Vol. 1 Ch. 10.1 - That's What I've Never Learned

[SleepyDemon]

Sounds like he was going to a higher end university (hence the recommendation) and foresaw that tearing them apart, gave her an in-advance warning of that.

At the same time it sounds like he wanted her social skills to improve so he encouraged her to spend time with the people if she felt bad rejecting them, maybe finding someone to replace him on a romantic basis. Going on dates and hanging out normally doesn't mean instantly banging. Hell, even their own relationship looks to have happened over numerous study sessions before she pulled it into a lewd direction.

In the end she had a bit more problems internally than he suspected and connected some dots pertaining to emotional connections the wrong way. I'll reserve my final judgement of the dude until if/when the guy shows back up but for now I think the two of them were just stupid teenagers and she ended up suffering big time because of it.

Really curious how he'd react learning of what happened to her if he truly saw her in a romantic light.

in a nutshell she's an idiot to the point of almost retarded.

if you're told to go straight would you keep moving in the same line even though there's a wall ahead or the road goes slightly left/right?

 

[henman]

@Dezaki Well, I am one of such people. When I was smol and had no experience, had been told to go straight and met a wall, it was, like, the biggest stress for me. Evident things for you are not evident for me, and to break following an instruction is unimaginable. There is just no such option, I can't see it. It comes with a lot of internal torment, as any decision which I take in such situation is bad for me.
Only later, through countless experiences, observations of "normal" people and think & compare process I got something vaguely similar to navigations system for such cases. It allows me to be flexible, consider my and other people's interests and make more or less independent decisions based on that. It can make impression that I am "normal" too, but it certainly requires more work from me, and I have no less stress in such situations that before.
So, I'd warn you to not use term "retarded", please

The dude was good at teaching academics, but bad at teaching anything else, it seems like. I'd assume his goal is to date as many different girls during his university years as he can.

 

[AinsT1ck]

Oooooh! Don't worry i'm just lurking here

 

[ninjazz]

looks like some wires got crossed and it ended in the worst way for her. looks like she takes things at face value.

i actually read this earlier today and i'm glad to see it properly typesetted here. thanks, typesetter.

 

[havelmom]

she is not a kuudere

 

[kuma]

the tutor simply said interact more with other people and hang out with other friends. he probably see that he has to go far away. and as far as we can see, he isn't a bad people, just naive and his suggestion take by meguro really literally.

 

[chusetto]

Now things makes more sense

 

[welcome2atlantis]

Sensei, you should go die.

@henman Can concur, was sorta the same as a kid/teenager. Would get requests/instructions and would follow them to a T until met with an obstacle that stopped me from doing so within the original parameters and just sorta freeze like "dafuq happens now?!". Thankfully post teens I stopped being such a robot about stuff and increasingly so in recent years also became quite un-amenable to boot.

Amenability is definitely her biggest flaw here. She is FARRRRR too amenable to the point where other peoples' desires take such priority her own don't even register. Being amenable by itself is generally a good thing and tends to be a bit higher in women but Meguro's got jacked up to 11 at some point and it's completely self destructive.

 

[Dezaki]

@henman I've added the "point of almost retarded" comment on last minute before I posted it because I've realized how much ruined her life would be if MC didn't came to change her view by not exploiting her naivety. your ability to observe and 'be flexible' is what makes you an intelligent human but for our Meguro here I haven't seen that behaviour and she just keeps falling deeper by the years until she met MC. imagine some degenerate offers her some drugs i bet she'll just take it and turned into "emergence". don't get me wrong, I'm also not that kind of person with great life choices.

 

[conscript117]

That was....sad, I hope readers can understand better meguro-san character now and stop bitching about a couple trying to find what love is.

 

[omnixd]

Xd

 

[Buraindo]

So that's what happened, she looked a bit too shaken when remembering but it was a pretty peaceful affair if you ask me

 

[Fluffyfish]

To me it looks more like he just wasn't serious at all about dating her and didn't even mind whether she was fucking other guys or not.
While the girl was already borderline autistic and got a bit "shocked" from the break-up, so she just mindlessly followed his retarded advice.

 

[Tamerlane]

Hot Take: the tutor isn't an asshole. He seems like he was genuinely a loving boyfriend and it doesn't seem like he took advantage of her in any sense of the word. He cares for her feelings and it seems like he was trying to get her to branch out a bit more. She just confused being more assertive and trying to make new friends, he specifically doesn't mean dating people but does say that it's inevitable they'll have to split as he's going to university, and potentially new love interests. This does not mean date everyone indiscriminately as she took it and I feel like we put more blame on him than he deserves. Very after-the-fact reasoning is used if you were to say that it's his fault she got taken advantage of which removes her agency and the agency of the assholes that took advantage of her.

Just an observation.

@Tamerlane
I swear that I see you in the comments of everything I'm reading lol

 

[HYBRID_BEING]

Umm, if Korean TL note is to be believed, there should be no honorific on page 5.

 

[HEXyren]

@HYBRID_BEING: It's my mistake actually. There is no "chan" in the original translation. I just misread the Korean note and added "chan".
