Kanojo wo Dere saseru Houhou wo, Shourai Kekkon suru Ore dake ga Shitteiru - Ch. 2

That took a very sudden dark turn. I was expecting nothing but diabetes inducing sweetness.

Well, when you add salt to watermelons, you make it sweeter, right? Not too much, obviously, just a pinch. I suppose that's what's happening here.

Thanks for the insight. I forgot that this was an adaptation. Can you mind telling me how far the progression of LN is at?

Spoiler: I’m frankly ashamed by how little I remember

As of LN vol 2, she’s definitely aware of him but is still unsure whether it’s love or not (in other words, denial). Idk if there are more LNs beyond that though. She’s pining to be student council president (i think) to surpass her dickhead brother who’s a classic playboy but genuinely good business acumen type trope, but ran into a couple problems and had to be helped by MC. It’s very Roshidere where Yuki is Alya and MC is Masachika and there’s a bunch of drama with delinquents, student council stuff and family. Unfortunately haven’t read web novel yet. As of most recently he helped her and some other students escape from being blackmailed by a bunch of college delinquents while she’s struggling with managing student council responsibilities and fulfilling requests. I don’t predict it’ll end anytime soon.

Yeah, there's no hiding the ulterior motive when your plans towards her are transparently clear from the start - as her future self requested in the first place anyway.

 

[MadScientist666]

I like how witty and snarky his replies are, a refreshing kind of manga MC.

I hope the future chapters keep up their fun dynamic and we do not have too many of the usual, boring tropes. The last two pages, though, they make me fear we won't get a story free of them...

 

[crunchyspider]

Jebus, last page curveball

So slavery wasnt abolished in japan

 

[Lewd_Beast]

That final panel got dark, real quick! 😮

So slavery wasnt abolished in japan

If it was black companies shouldn't exist in the first place

 

[BrotherCoa]

Wow, father of the year material right there. Thank God she married to a really good person.
Now he has the chance to make her life into a paradise from early on. Cannot wait to see more chapters being released.

 

[ItzUhMe]

It's hard to believe the uptight student got so loose with her bazookas lounging around at home

 

[rogpete]

What kind of fucked up meet cute did they have?

 

[HunterCO]

Perdón?

 

[rabidporcupine]

A very classic thing that’s called:
The father is a fucking retard who sells his daughter off for his business

And unfortunately, if youre curious, yes he has in fact received karmic retribution, but only in the timeline when they were adults. In the high school timeline hes still living a life, which is a crime. Hope he explodes soon

Ok cool, this makes me feel better about the story again, thank you.

 

[DewaDe_]

Wow

 

[FluffyToast]

Holy shit, this went from wholesome to dark out of nowhere

 

[chojinra]

…. Japan, not every story needs a fucked up scenario to be interesting. Is there really no other way they could have fallen in love?

 

[Gunlord500]

Okay, wtf is with that last 2 pages?

Yeah, I was just gonna say this started out very cute but that last page...uh, talk about a U-turn. I hope this won't end up like that childhood friend manga that turned into...You guys know what I'm talking about, right?

 

[Heika]

Last 2 pages ruined all the wholesome vibes the manga had. SMH, I hope it's some bait and not really a big deal.

I must have read a spoiler somewhere without realizing or thinking about it, because I already knew what was going on with those pages.

Spoiler

Her own father tried to use her for financial gain

 

[Kllick]

That last 2 pages triggered my PTSD of Gal Cleaning

 

[Kagimizu]

Ooooookay. Even with the spoilers providing more context, turns out the MC has some additional very good reasons for trying to give his wife a happier high school life. Partly to avoid whatever happened to cause that.

I also find it a little amusing how they sidestepped the whole "adult in a teenager's body making the moves on an actual teenager" by virtue of his wife literally wishing for it and making such a "what-if" request.
