Jimoto no Ijimekko-tachi ni Shikaeshi Shiyou to Shitara, Betsu no Tatakai ga Hajimatta. - Ch. 48.2

[yulel]

this is the closest we can get to an actual romance development for the mc

 

[theOOFman]

I would like to be wrong about these things just every so often, but alas, no kiss again

But this is definitely one of the best fake out kisses I've ever seen, not because of the surprise, but for the reason it was faked out. He's gotta save the kiss for best girl

How is it that the two side girls are better than the three main girls?

Because their expressions of love arent as toxic as the main girls. The draw for the main girls is that they are his former "bullies" and theyd need some character growth to graduate from that

 

[aguyyoudontknow]

I can't see this author having the balls to have our MC end up with a side character. It would honestly be extremely interesting how the story would handle it, but yeah no way they go for it.

Honestly, the only series where I remember that happening is The World God Only Knows, and it was extremely hated by a lot of readers, from my understanding

Spoiler: My opinion

Personally, I found very thematically appropriate, as Chihiro was literally the only girl that knew and loved the actual, real Keima for who he was, weirdo gamer loser and all

 

[darktennisball]

If mc definitively likes stronger people than himself… you can already predict who would “win” and “lose” in this series

 

[orangerain7734]

Ya know... if the kiss block maneuver was a reflex, just how many times has someone tried to kiss him between the bully years and now?

He said he doesn't want his first kiss to happen as some kind of joke ... if he built reflexes to stop a potential kiss, I can think of three girls who ingrained that trauma into him.

And that just made me dislike the main leads even more if that really is the case.

There's one I recall but if I told you it ruins the freaking story.

Ookami Shounen wa Kyou mo Uso o Kasaneru

the main girls aren't exactly bullies actually, it's just self inflicted trauma by the MC. I mean the whole "bullying" thing would immediately stop if the retarded MC stop challenging them into punishment game everyday when they're kids.

 

[YamiryuuZero]

I really like that he stopped her. Don't let anyone kiss you if you're not comfortable with it, it's healthy to set boundaries.

How is it that the two side girls are better than the three main girls?

That's because the three main girls are bullies and the protagonist wants to get them back for what they did to him as a child. But his real passion is Vtubers and the ones that he doesn't have a bad past with (such as the teacher and Fumi-tan) are much better fits for him.

Honestly, I really want him to end with anyone else other than the three bullies.

King shit.

 

[nueee]

Thank you

 

[Carn109]

Kotaro's guard is too strong

 

[Outflanks10]

Is it just me or is it kinda shitty to keep leading girls on like this.
Or are they doing it to themselves, I mean he already said he has a god after all.

Thanks for the translation KappaBeast

They’re doing it to themselves. He’s pretty upfront about his love of Fumi-tan

 

[Outflanks10]

Yeah I think so as well, although he really hasn't done his best to say it's never gonna happen.
I mean it's the same with some stall vendors, you have to tell them no 8-10 times before they finally back off trying to sell you crap. But I still do believe fault is on the girls.

 

[Toshkotv]

So who would have thought that you need to be straight forward with him to so he understand you? Apparently it wasn't them but this girl cracked the code

 

[Nuggz]

The funniest swerve this manga could give us is that none of the main girls get picked, but instead one of the side girls we've met so far: Cocoa, Sumika and whatever third girl I'm missing
