Jimoto no Ijimekko-tachi ni Shikaeshi Shiyou to Shitara, Betsu no Tatakai ga Hajimatta. - Vol. 4 Ch. 29 - The ski battle has begun (Part 2)

[serialsly]

Wow, something new. Usually it's suki => sukiyaki

 

[pimentinha112]

Ah, to be a little weeblet and not know about Suki

 

[abdullah17]

NOOOOO

 

[Elrufi]

Man I want to rub the author's cheeks so much

 

[musicfreak12]

Wtf? This is worse than firework trope

Ya know, with how often Japanese word play comes into... play because of similar pronunciation, I'm starting to think romcom protagonists aren't actually dense.

Between that, implied direct objects and that irrational hatred of pronouns, I sometimes dunno how anyone gets anything important across.

 

[burningknuckle]

isnt suki pronounced like ski? this makes sense and isn't dumb in the context, dude probably was just think she almost died skiing

 

[al_pacino]

Thank the god school rumble is one of the earliest anime I watch. I could see about ski pun from a miles away. I don't bring shame to the way of weeb.

 

[tekkenshu7]

Thanks for the new chapter!

LOL kinda expected that to happen. I knew Kotarou is aware of Kanae's shortcomings and now he actually scored points again but sadly he is too dense about it
And yes, this is one of those 'hidden tropes' in romcoms, the 'ski' events. As explained in the end notes, SUKI and SUKII are actually too close and we'll find this used once in a while in these awkward parts of a romcom as both 'development' and 'stretch' (i.e. to extend the story without causing awkwardness between a harem member and MC) - basically preserving the status quo but giving the fans a bit of dokidoki moment.

P.S. I was also expecting they would get stranded in a cabin or something but this scenario of Kanae fainting probably makes things simpler

Oh for fucks sake....the Japanese language is just one big troll isnt it...

 

[Sakuyadorf]
