Koi to Yobu ni wa Sasayaka desu ga - Vol. 2 Ch. 10

[ZKYVER]

bro is such an asshole omg 🤣🤣🤣

 

[TT0182]

My heart nearly jumped out

 

[lemon-dono]

Lots of great umi faces this chapter too!

 

[kitsushouten]

NO WAY SHOYAAAA YOUVE NEVER SHOWN AN EXPRESSION LIKE THAT!! YOU’RE SOOOOOO HOTTTTT

 

[vivienne888]

This author is so good at writing character interactions

 

[jubuttib]

Man, I love how he just leaned back and turned it all the way ON. He might be a goofball, but he knows what's he's got. =)

 

[Kagimizu]

Why is lil bro blushing?

He got flustered. Shouya was acting all chipper and bubbly throughout the conversation, but when the kid made his declaration decided to play along. If you declare rivalry towards someone you've known a long time and suddenly their whole demeanor shifts, that's gonna rattle you. Especially when Shouya's implicitly making a point of showing off that he knows he's good-looking.

Meanwhile I can't tell if this is going to go the route of a traditional romcom or subvert expectations. Shouya is the frontrunner for Umi's affections, yet as far as he's concerned he's not even in the race. That kind of miscommunication is inevitably going to implode...

Presumably, the first major arc of the series will just keep centering around Umi and her growing and forming connections until she inevitably realizes just what it is she feels for Shouya - followed by a realization that he (likely) doesn't feel the same.

And the second will possibly focus on her trying to win Shouya's affections and getting him to see her as something other than just a kid. Whether she succeeds is another thing entirely, but I do think that the age gap here isn't as insurmountably big as in, say, After the Rain, so there's a very real chance they do end up together (potentially after a time skip if she isn't already 18 by that point). Doubly so because Shouya himself is still portrayed as childlike and developing in several ways.

Though, on that note, I'm guessing the cover pages in previous chapters were mistaken and Umi is currently 16, not 17?

Tnx for translation

HOT MAN ALERT

 

[EvanTran99]

Bro locked in after he said that 😭

 

[Skater901]

She doesn't realise she's falling for him, what a goober.

 

[StandFab]

Too bad for you, Hoshino-kun. You just declared war on Shouya, who is 100% going to end up with Umi anyway

thank you for translation

Nah, I'd win type stare

 

[javajulien]

Everybody focused on the mogging, but this was the real psychological damage;

When the guy you declare is your love rival still treats you like a little kid. lol

 

[Visulth]

His rizz is way too strong

Love it when an MC has an actual personality and does things that are fun and unexpected (especially when it's not just pulling shounen powers out of a hat)

 

[Darklight99]

Who does this kid think he is? She doesn't know you and already rejected your confession, why would she show you a kind face? And what's with the declaration you stalker? Fuck off.

Greta Shouya expression though.

 

[zHIST]

Mogged

 

[Friendly-Sentence710]

This shit is so fucking peak.

I love the fact they zig instead of zag sometimes, but its always relevant (bonding over being made to get babysitter when they're 16) and that the rivalry isn't Hoshino/Shouya for Umi, its Hoshino/Umi for Shouya. FrienTR.

forced outside by Umi

Its so cute how wives look after their husbands' health.

How does he know I forgot my umbrella?

I love how creeped out she is. Literally the "Aww you're sweet"/"Hello, HR?" comic.

Also mom better get used to her daughter belonging to Shouya's family permanently once they get married.

 

[Beatrice]

Don't worry, Hoshino. Umi is lost, but you can still win the Shouya bowl!

 

[chunchun01]

cracking up at everybody just going MOGGED but that's literally what happened & I'm so here for it. Love when this artist shows a little bit of their "darkness"(yandere?) preference via character expressions, it's so sudden and so good
