Kurai Anoko to Shitai koto - Vol. 3 Ch. 32 - The things big brothers and little sisters worry about

[Andasen]

The romance is so slow burn, it's quite refreshing. The update is slow too though, i kind of forget the earlier chapter

There so much negative comments about slow progress so i want to ask you all a question. On scale from 1 to "Rent-a-Girlfriend" just how bad it is?

I'd say 5. There's lots of characterization, but frustratingly, the female lead seems unwilling or unable to recognize relationships. Since that's the allure of a manga like this, seeing someone lonely and self-isolating grow and make connections, it's annoying to watch her deny they occur.

I agree with everyone's sentiments about the slow progress of literally everything in this manga...and it sounds like things don't get much better close to 30 chapters after this. This manga is still "cute" in its own way, but the slow pacing will definitely wear on everyone eventually.

Having said that, her response about them being friends is pretty in character for her. She doesn't seem to understand relationships with other people and hasn't really ever had friends before. She doesn't really know what that means so she can't recognize that the two of them are already friends because she doesn't know what that even means. Totally in character....but most definitely a frustrating thing to see.

Eww. It honestly feels like the author decided to disregard all progress in order to make her obsessed with her brother a weird “stepbrother I’m stuck way”. What was with the bed scene?

I know brother obsession is a pretty common trope for girls, but it seriously feels like the author threw away all progress to make her a brother obsessed weirdo. I don’t even recognize her.

it's not really a 'negative comment' when i literally said i like the artstyle very much. just that it's too slow in establishing a relationship. this chapter was a good example when she said they could have been friends already if he was more assertive when she literally shot him down and said they aren't friends just a few chapters prior.

Maximum brocon.

The brocon trait is such a massive turn-off

 

[Oured]

She's not even friends with the MC. I suppose all the times he helped her out were negligible events.
Yet she's immediately jealous of her brother.
Honestly I can't tell which characters this manga's romance tag is referring to anymore.

I got curious and had a look at the japanese comments to see if they had anything to say.

Going by the recent japanese comments complaining about the story being too slow, not much has changed in a major way even in chap 60.

Yeesh. I like stories with some slow burn, but 60 chapters of this (sexy) dead fish and quivering MC not moving an inch?

 

[andyarc1995]

Yeah... here is where I drop this, I won't cope with 30 more chapters of nothingness, shame because the idea is good but the execution is slow and the "weird and antisocial" girl trope can be exploited so much.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Erbakhan]

The author should have just make an incest manga

[misopogon]

I do kind of enjoy this manga but I do feel it's a bit too slow; so many chapters in and it doesn't truly feel like she's actually grown to like the guy, but merely observes him the way you'd observe a strange bug going around in circles on the pavement

 

[Mochiharu]

The only reason I'm stays is because the art is in my favourite zone...

 

[takinaaaa]

100% right. This confirmed isn't even a slow burn but just a full on stand still with her fully denying him after 32 chapters and it still being the same as per the ch60 "spoiler", I will most probably also pause this.

This started as a "feel good" manga about them improving together and getting closer to one another but it turned into some obscure "effort = friends and good life!!" message without any real romance at all.
Though by now it turned so convoluted that the message comes out as "no matter what you do some people (in this case her) just don't want to be friends with you and you need to go to insane lengths to make anything happen". Not very wholesome.

I would honestly call this a bait and switch as of this chapter.

This needs some new characters for him to interact with to realize where he stands. Would also enable some easy writing to finally develop her character in many multiple ways.

Where can i see the raws?
