Kimi wa, Nina Janai - Vol. 1 Ch. 6 - You don't like him, do you?

[NotKiwiBird]

I wouldn't go that far. It just sounds like girls don't like her because she's popular with guys. It sounded like she had friends in her other class.

Eeeeh, dunno about that. She said she has nobody to talk, and while yes, it is a new class, she also kinda implies that she has bad social skills in real life. Oh and Mei-kun literally says she has no friends

Thank you very much

Edit: Honestly I don't think CF crossed any lines here. He showed the appropriate and reasonable amount of concern for someone important to him. The fact he backed down when she insisted shows how reasonable he is and how he genuinely respects Nina's feelings.

 

[Mangamoz]

Oh no…

Yeah pretty much it's one drama arc after the other back to back, with barely any cutesy stuff to counter the excessive drama arcs.

Spoiler

First it's fuckboy here being a possessive dick,
then it's her dad finding out she lives with MC,
then it's MC's ex coming back to cause shit,
then fuckboy comes back for round 2, not having learned his lesson at all

As of the latest chap the main characters are still crying and miserable.

The slice of life tag gets discarded pretty much.

having skimmed through a number of the later chapters in response to this thread, it doesn't seem as bad as it seemed when you mentioned it, though I've only just skimmed it.

Honestly the discussion of "why would you trust a stranger rather than your ~10 year long childhood friend just because one of them got a mom" being solved with "cause i said so" was really awful
wish the author gave a good reason like hes against streaming or whatever rather than "he got a mom"
i'm happy that on the sidelines he's a toxic person to at least reduce the weight of meh writing

Yeah, it seems like we might get a reason next chapter.

I'm in agreement here. He's certainly coarse in his language, but at the same time hasn't been shown to be doing anything directly wrong.

Having not looked at future chapters I'm very willing to be wrong, but I would want to intuit that there's something related to his own situation at home that has shaped his personality this way.

Oh nice. The author made a plot progression that fit common sense! And then they used the earlier confrontation as a pivot to encourage even more plot progression!

 

[Nyaaa]

Oh no, i'm aware of that, thing is the manga didn't bother placing that as the real reason she didn't want to be with him
And that's what annoyed me, that's why i blamed the solution rather than the discussion itself

I think the reason was already in there. It was subtle. The girl implied that the childhood friend guy and his mom (probably single mom since there's no dad mentioned) lives in a difficult financial situation.

Not everything has to be explained out with a dialogue you know? Some things are better left with implication. After all let's say you are poor in a Japanese society. Would you like the fact that you are poor be announced to some stranger you don't know? Remember that you live in a Japanese society, where by just being poor (different) plenty of people would use that against you and your family. I personally don't care, but that's just me. If anything, the girl is being decent by not stating anything relating to that so explicitly.

Yep, fucking called it, she didn't tell the friend that SHE was the one insists on staying.

Thanks for the chapter. Really nice to see the community coming together to support kiwi on the previous mangadex chapter forum that made this possible with wushu providing the Raws and osis providing tips.

What's the copy pasta at the end

I was really happy to hear back about it so soon after posting. This community has been nothing but welcoming and helpful!

That’s the Yoshikage Kira speech. I had to cut off the most recognizable parts to fit it in the bubble properly

Every other Saturday. I’m trying to catch up to the raws (currently on 29, though 30 will be out on the 7th) though I might take a brief break today and maybe tomorrow.

Being assertive and confident is one thing, but forcing someone else to be your girlfriend even when she's implicitly stated she doesn't like it is another thing. Dude, learn when to give up and look for other people who actually like you, love is not a one-sided equation. Also suddenly hugging a girl without her consent is a no-go, even if you're long-time acquaintances, he just looks like a creep. Just because he's somewhat good-looking in the eyes of other girls doesn't mean just any girl will fall for him and let him do selfish things like that.

I agree with some of the things you said, but your thing about not hugging girl without asking is weird. Yes this dude's a dick, but still what you say is realy weird.
I've know girls and women that spend their time hugging each other and their friend and they dont spend their time "can i hug you plz?". It would be creepy for people in a close relationship to ask for these things. If you're close to someone you know if the person like hug or not, and you act in accordance.

Some people love to hug each other, some dont. I cant stand being hugged, but even then i find this way of thinking weird as hell. God, i've even had friend that complained that i never hugged them and i never told them "why are you showing me your affection you creep"...

Oh, i just understood why you said "hugging girls"... Yeah... A dude cant hug a friend without asking because he would be a creep, but if a girl hug her friend it's cute...

Thanks for the translation. I hope it's not going to be huge drama like what the start let us think.

 

[Ninoren]

Hope he slips and falls, badly enough that he doesn't appear in the manga again, or at least only as picture >_>...

He isn't just overstepping boundaries he's literally breaking them down, but it's also frustrating how she isn't really saying anything about it, which in the end has Ao-san caught in the crossfire for no reason. 'I hope she doesn't like him, does she?', wouldn't be any of that shitheads business even if

I’m afraid I’m going to have to shatter your hopes.

I’ve seen people defending him, and I agree that at on the surface it’s what a friend would do, but I think he’s just kinda controlling. My view might change over time though, who knows

 

[Niroj]

This manga is Pretty good. This manga reminds me of higehiro. I am thankful that fmc doesn't have any dark past like in higehiro (not the reason that she ran away from home but the past that she slept with random guy to stay over for a couple of days.) I hate that shi...
