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

[mrclamp]

I mean, this is most certainly bait in every imaginable way at this point it seems odd to throw this in there all of a sudden.

We already know Ibuki really likes Tomoaki so I doubt having some random guy to her (if he is) stop the pickup artists will sway her opinion on Tomoaki...plus Tomoaki knows the real her and show usually looks. He likes her for her and not what she is pretending to look like, so like yeah.

 

[Miriable]

Oh please, like she'd be into anyone else.

 

[Sagara-Sousuke]

The comments are more entertaining than the chapter

 

[Graywing]

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!!!

 

[rudezki]

That's 100% her brother or something.

 

[gameforcer]

dibs on this new guy being Ibuki's brother

 

[SuppahFreak]

What's with the mid 2000s Shoujo character lookin' ass dude?

 

[vvildn]

Hope this doesn't go down like a similar manga that ended early.

 

[LavSingh]

this trope again.. is the author still stuck in 2015?

 

[Hicleric]

Makeover as dokidoki bait:
Harassment trope:

That fur-lined coat gave me some weird fantasy vibes tho

 

[assman162]

mangaka cannot go 2 seconds without this cliche pointless bait

holy shit why are mangaka so brainless

 

[BayuAH]

She looks gorgeous.

Also, that dude either her brother, her neighbor, her another unknown childhood friend, or straight a pickup artist.

dibs on this new guy being Ibuki's brother

Yeah I'm 100% expecting this to be "yo, leave my little/big sister alone"

 

[testableneptune]

stop the fuck boy! 😤
Our boy is only now realizing his feelings, don't cuck him now!

 

[Mindofone]

We have to remember that dressing like a girl makes her uncomfortable, so I get the feeling that he was going to tell her she doesn’t need to do anything that makes her feel weird. That alone should potentially make their relationship much more solid than the people who line up because she looks pretty in a skirt. Hopefully this is what the author is going for. (That being said, I have a sneaking suspicion she did it to capture his attention!)

 

[Weebmaster41]

Booooo probably either a cheap misunderstanding or a one chapter road bump. Author L

 

[Umb3rus]

Hope this doesn't go down like a similar manga that ended early.

Please don't, I am still so frustrated about how that one ended.

This chapter is just... irritating, I guess?
The make over just feels unnecessary, and kinda forced, and it doesn't have the effect the author thinks it has (I assume).
And the new guy just feels like cheap bait, the audience knows that he is no threat, but Tomoaki doesn't, and I just know that this is going to lead to an incredibly annoying misunderstanding.

The only thing I liked about this chapter is the question that Tomoakis friend posed to him, that was a good way to get him to think more

 

[Idiot69]

this is the worst and most over used trope in manga right now and the point when it shows up is usually the point when the manga goes to shit.

 

[MasterPannya]

This manga made irreversible mind damage to the readers of MD.

 

[BobTheSkrull]

Okay, hear me out...what if this guy's introduction isn't remotely about romance? Implied to the readers, sure, but we haven't really seen our boy react. A key theme has been how "coolness" is interpreted by different people, and that's how the guy is meant to look (seriously, he doesn't look nearly sleazy enough to be the playboy trope).
