guys the plot is that she's a stalker and has been following around and waiting him to be alone to talk to him for 5 days. straight.
/s

talk about timming huh?
I dont think this drama will take long, author already showed how Ibuki is pretty crazy on tomo. But the execution could be... better

It's just the release pace that makes it feel bad, waiting for chapters. If you read it in a volume this thing would feel super short, it will just help main couple move forward. For sure it's not the best writing but it's the typical "reflecting on jealousy" moment, which is fine overall.

Knew something was up when I saw this much comment. I'll let this simmer and come back to see how it goes

Oh, interesting to see the mmc make such a an angry face.
Honnestly, i'm more bothered by the fact that he can't realise he's jealous after all this time than by the fact that we got a second false romantic lead in the story.

Also, the "here to make protag jealous" aside, I like the new guy. He seems nice, and it's an interesting idea to have the heroine having a sort of counterpart of her who never got anyone to support him.

This manga doesn't have a lot of character in it, so I kinda hope the new fake love interest will actually be a character too, and not just a device for the story.

welp at least they put both pointless love rivals in the same arc so they can be dealt with, befriended and we can (hopefully) move on to something more interesting.

Still a fucking dogshit cliche and no, I don't give a fuck if this is common in the genre. That only makes it worse because I keep coming across this bullshit.

That would be peak. We wouldn’t mind that actually. The new guy seems nice and he clicks with Ibuk. Would be nice and interesting to see. They would make a great couple tbh.
I would genuinely hate it. There is a manga where the main girl, who's actually the MC, is trying to get her childhood friend's attention and then on chapter 21, like 21 whole chapters worth of character development later the FMC finds the MC and her best friends French kissing. Then suddenly the whole manga changes from fluffy wholesome story with no Drama to what I described.

While this is not quite the same, I hate when I get invested in a couple and then that couple completely falls apart and the MCs get with other ppl. Granted that this is not a usual trope, I still worry when I see the signs.

You’re talking to a brick wall, this dude shows up in basically every couple-focused-RomCom to advocate for NTR, they’re a lost cause

Thanks for the TL!

I gotta admit... this latest arc seems kind of a forced development. Both the MC and heroine getting their "worst case scenarios" conveniently manifested at the same time to force them into a reckoning with how they feel about each other? idk man
