Yes yes, she needs to officially break up with her boyfriend, blah blah, getting it out of the way for everyone here and now.

But to the point - I really, really can't get over how direct and ...I guess introspective and thoughtful the characters are when interacting in this title. No miscommunication, no "what the fuck is going on oh god blubber blubber stutter augh"-ing, everyone's in tune with themselves and knows what they're about, and it's very, very refreshing to read in the current slew of romcoms that rely on misunderstandings and lots of thoughts with no intelligence to drive a plot that could be "literally solved with one honest dialogue".

Which means the drama/narrative tension will likely revolve around external conflicts, i.e. classmates/MC's boyfriend, but I'm here for it in general.


Thanks for the TL work. Super enjoying this one.

I forgot she still had a boyfriend until you mentioned it...

it's in the most superficial of ways, as I'm not even convinced the boyfriend really cares, either.

I do suspect that there will be narrative tension involving the fact she's essentially been cheating on him though, if only in the eyes of their classmates.
I kinda almost hope that he does in fact like our MC and that the conflict will arise from that, and that ends up becoming the main bit of story that our MC has to overcome - but if he's also just like "yeah nah I get it, we cool", I won't be sad.

Someone beat me to the boyfriend comment

Anyways this is being very cute, didn't expect it to be wholesome, but really for fuck sake break up with your boyfriend before getting all lovey dovey like this, I get she hadn't had the chance but at this point just send a "we need to talk" text or something

 

[deathpigeon]

she's the type to say, "would you still love me if i was a worm?"

Devouring everyone around her... Guess the little sister will be going all the way first.

Thank you for the translation!

 

[blablablub]

No. Do that 10 or so more times and we might believe you.

It’s funny, I was just looking at another story with similar practically non-existent relationship. The previous relationship was so performative and existed only through peer pressure that it frankly seems so silly to me to get so worked up over it. Not sure what’s going through the other boy’s head, but considering he hasn’t made any efforts to reconnect either, is pretty telling. At this point, “breaking up” sounds like it would be just another performance to get their friends to stop trying to make their ship a thing.

 

[MsW0lf]

So shall we start up the pool then? Who bets on “Not breaking up will be an issue.” and who has “Boyfriend is a literal non-issue.”

I can’t decide if the author is just letting it fall beside the wayside or is keeping it an untied plot thread to artificially cause tension whenever they go out in public. It’s like a popcorn kernel stuck between your teeth, you can ignore it if you try but it gets annoying once you remember its existence.

Bruh I swear when the time comes for the breakup with the boyfriend he’d probably just shrug, go “welp” and find someone new the next day

 

[Westes]

Yeah, I guess we just have to wait for her to return to the school, so that she has to encounter the guy and break up with him. It doesn't really matter and the guy should just say "OK" to it, the relationship was more dead than some kinds of fossils

Exactly! That's what should happen, I think

Sure, but because of this the whole thing feels like the author is talking with himself. The characters don't really feel like they have a different "voice", it's a bit hard to explain.

my bet is: the boyfriend will get another girl thinking she will be mad and she will be like "oh thank god that makes things easy" and he will be pissed

we've gotten very little of the boyfriend's perspective so it's honestly hard to say what he feels about the relationship and how aware of her (lack of) feelings he is.

ngl, pretty heavy-handed exposition chapter
