Kakkoii Onnanoko to 12-centi no Yakusoku - Ch. 25 - What If...

[Darkshade13]

Girly Ibuki was cute, but comfortable tomboy Ibuki remains undefeated.

Also that chapter end bait is the baitiest bait that ever baited. We know she's completely target locked already, so nothing of consequence can come of this introduction. But it's still going to be like when someone tries to scare you and you don't flinch, but they still go "ahhh! I got you!" and act like their transparent ploy was a success.

Would've been funnier if there were a few gals trying to pick up Tomo and Ibuki would've been more proactive, but i guess we'll have to go down this thornier road.

100% the "guy" protecting her is another girl who dresses like a guy right?

 

[DogTheBoss]

Probably some guy posing as a boyfriend to make other guys go away

 

[aya_15]

don't worry, it's another cool looking girl.... maybe.

 

[zeansunsunzean]

That looks like a face of a disapproving brother wondering why his tomboy sister is dressing like that

An important lesson is that time waits for no one and that you can't blame anyone for taking an interest in someone you like. If you like them then step up. Thanks for the chapter!!!

Its always funny how this is only ever said for guys. She has known how she feels for a bit now and still hasn't told him , he hasnt and is slowly coming to grips with it.

 

[Karikko]

Yeah that's probably another girl too

As someone with knowledge of the future, this comments section amuses me greatly.

Sigh cheap bait.

See, that's the thing. It's only cheap bait for the dummies in the comment section. Those of us who play 5-D chess know why:

1. Unlike other dumb virgin MCs, Tomoaki cannot be threatened by the appearance of this random Chad or overthink an obvious misunderstanding because he has such severe brain damage. He always has that final-panel face. He is just confused. He is confused by everything. He still hasn't figured out what that funny feeling in his pants is. He has no concept of Ibuki being taken away; he didn't leave the room to confess to her, he was just really confused by her looking like a girl.
2. We know that Ibuki only has eyes for Tomoaki.
3. We have read a lot of trashy manga.

So in summary, if you're getting baited, you are more of a Tomoaki than an Ibuki.

Obligatory Competitor Character Whose Existence Motivates The Protagonist To Be More Forward About Their Own Feelings is hot here and I hope he’s played as a really cool guy who recognizes what’s up between the MC: and doesn’t get in the way. No need to beat his ass or whatever, maybe he’s cool and nice actually. It’s more boring if there’s just some douchey antagonist guy set up to be knocked down.

 

[chusetto]

That's her brother, right?

 

[Izzydee]

He looks like a relative, maybe a cousin??? Since, I think she’s an only child… can’t remember

 

[TotoShampoin]

On the one head, yay for potential progress!

On the other hand... Ugh

 

[EulBassist]

Oooooh, drama!
Thanks for the chapter!

 

[Liar]

I bet that's a girl.

 

[rotationplus]

Calling it now, that guy at the end is also a girl. Maybe they're crossdressing friends or something, idk, but it'd feel kind of cheap to add something like that that wasn't a misunderstanding after the general tone of the story so far.

nah I think they're a guy who just isn't attracted to girls.

The reason is because that's how the culture is there. A woman who is forward is considered promiscuous or slutty. The man is supposed to take the initiative as unfortunately that's how gender roles affect them there. If they relaxed those roles than it could be easier. Had an ex that was mixed Asian and it's just sad how they limit themselves with that old mindset.
