Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen - Vol. 14 Ch. 141 - Regarding Kaguya Shinomiya, Part 3

[Exile]

There is nothing to fall in love with what is a fake persona created simply because she is a Shinomiya and is expected to act in such a way.

 

[meidunk]

This girl has a serious mental issue

 

[caitsith]

Uh-oh, they broke Shinomiya. And by "they," I mean Shinomiya. Shinomiya broke Shinomiya. You've played yourself, Shinomiya.

I read the next chapter and she's just as annoying as I imagined it. What a contrived and artificial way to pad this manga

 

[Qelix]

Remember, when Ishigami and Prez found that dirty, dirty doujinishi manga book, that included girls of a popular manga, that were nothing else then our heroines with a bit changed attire?
Ishigami skipt over the "Kaguya"-part, because "Worst Girl". I get that, becasue that was a few chapters, after she did something awful. But...

I have to confess I have big hopes for Yami-Kaguya. You see, Kaguya somehow still has to break it to her parents, that she applied for Stanford. Only she can do that.

@beperov This is one of the few manga that follows a calendar so there's a hard time limit. All we're getting is all we'll get.

@Gito Yea read the next chapter. Nothing exciting. I still think suddenly creating three parts to one character out of no where and having one of those parts take over for is annoying. We finally (finally!) got the kind of relationship development most mangas deprive us of and then suddenly we get a “lol moving forward with the relationship? Lol nah. I’m gunna undo some character development and put their relationship on the rocks just so that in a couple of chapters, Ice Kaguya will be all like “yea you’re cool Shirogane” then go back to regular Kaguya like nothing happened. It’ll be worth maybe a few laughs and cute images but won’t be satisfying at all. You’ll just be happy it’s over.”

TL;DR: we went from having something romcoms never have (a relationship and progress) to a dumb cliche makes a character we’ve grown to love, act differently for no real reason.

 

[Gito]

@Flavor25 guess there's nothing can be done then, sorry about that. I also want to see progress, but I personally don't mind any of this since I wanna see how Shirogane's gonna face the bad side of the Shinomiya household anyway.

 

[Psychronia]

Yeesh. Everyone is jumping the gun on this development real hard as if Aka-sensei hasn't been an absolute madman storyteller for over 130 chapters already. I don't remember seeing anyone having real problems with this on comment threads a week ago.

I interpreted this as Kaguya being so overloaded by everything she has no idea how to handle new developments, and so falls back on the mentality that's always carried her through stressful situations in the past, even though it's the side of her that she's actively repressed and hated. She doesn't really want this part of her to come out, and I don't think it's an active decision at all on her part, but she's facing an unprecedented situation and doesn't know what to do.

I did and still do welcome this new development. Bakaguya is a joy, but Icey is honestly just as large a part of who Kaguya is at this point, and if this side of her is never dealt with or addressed...well, it wouldn't be a very good or otherwise healthy relationship.

Is it a regression? Yes, but not in a way that contradicts development. It's already been explicitly stated that Icey was very affected by the Dual Confessions and sincerely loves Miyuki. It's a return to roots, and rather than seeing this as outright personality changes. The one that initially fell in love with Miyuki is having a confrontation with a boy who may or may not know how to handle what's coming.
And that's what this is. A confrontation, no more and no less.

 

[ShiroVn]

This chapter is unexpectedly boring...

 

[Yautja]

So literal MPD now? I guess that's how we're going to contrive and extend the drama and life of the manga.

 

[Sychry]

I need an answer
Why the why is the table top game club is a den of evi? WHY? WHY?!!!!???????!!!!

 

[Ingway]

@Sychry They have a big reputation for causing trouble, thanks to it's members.

@Yautja Its not even MPD, if it was, ice would have no recollection of what happened. Besides, in case you missed. The very start of the chapter said this is merely a representation of her thought process for added comedy. They're just showing her more extreme ways of thinking.

 

[Yautja]

@Ingway
Not all cases of MPD have segregated memories, anyways, regardless of whether or not that was a joke and that disclaimer, an entire change in personality is MPD. That disclaimer technically only specified the comedic bit for the arguments; the setting for the internal debate and it's appearance. That in no way exonerates her from MPD, and even if it was suppose to encompass it, her behaviour is absolutely contradictory to such. It's one thing to provide such a disclaimer for physical appearance of either the character or scene, but this however, is completely different. If it is suppose to encompass her behaviour, more than anything, it comes off as a bullshit excuse.

@Sychry
Because they are children of big names, and so whatever they want, they have it.
No one in that school can stop them.

 

[ngkn92]

And we arrive at the start again.

This seems like something that would totally happen in my own head...
