It only took 81 chapters for a little glimpse😭🙏🏻

 

[razorshaleh]

nah, now you realize you have romantic feelings for Sasaki as a lover, not as a friend. it took 81 chapters for MC to realize this

thank you for translating

A small turn of the cog, and it's a good step, but not happening when he saw her face in chapter 74 is unforgivable...

 

[mornoon]

do not fret the epiphany of your feelings my child, for this is the truth. let yourself fall, and be consumed, so that one day the population of japan doesnt go extinct. praised be ye

I think it's less girls and more that the tittier they, are the more likely they'll get along with the boy.

 

[unyin]

teacher basically calling him an herbivore there lmao

 

[Kaito57]

HA !!! I TOLD YOU GUYS BECOMING FRIENDS WAS MERELY THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS LOVERS !!

(Why does he think he’s disliked tho ? Did I miss a chapter/flashback or something ?)

 

[Andasen]

Standing still for so long, a single small step feels like crossing the pacific

 

[ZzombieNoel]

At least he acknowledges that he may have messed up slightly there.

Girl: "hey, i got a complicated personal problem and i need some help, any advice?"
Boy: six-page exposition about himself

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[brndndss]

lol looks like starting to doubt his own "were friends"

 

[kosaya]

We're slowly approaching the moment he realizes how much he fumbled that 'Let's be friends'

 

[Skater901]

I was gonna say that this will set him back because "oh no, and friend wouldn't want me to confess to them because they just want to be friends!" but it seems like he doesn't even have romantic feelings for her yet... or at least, not that he's aware of.

It's not that he thinks he's actively disliked -- His self esteem is just so bad that "not being disliked" is the baseline he thinks he has to aim for, rather than "being liked". Basically he thinks that not giving people a reason to dislike him is the best he can hope for.

This is also why he still thinks he only just made his first "official" friend, not realizing that he's had a decent group of friends for quite a while now already. Their friendship, in his mind, is likely just them being nice because he's a classmate or the class rep or whatever. Which is allllllso where he believed he stood with sasaki all this time. "we're class reps, so of course we had to get along; I shouldn't get ahead of myself" kind of thinking.

Sooo yeah. It's fair of people to get frustrated with him because of how glacial he's making the pace, but it comes from him having a deeply flawed self-image to begin with, which isn't something that's easily solved if the other people in his life aren't being entirely straightforward with their own feelings either.

Better than 5 times 81 chapters of him rolling around on the floor with a fish narrating.
