Kusunoki-san wa Koukou Debut ni Shippai Shite Iru - Ch. 39 - I just... I don’t want to deny who I am

[thatNEET_]

Man, I was kind of expecting this to be basic wish fulfilment until Hebikawa showed up, but I was wrong to think that she's the only character that can create real drama or have multidimensional character writing in this manga. Not to mention, she's written even better than I'd expected. Even though everything I expected to happen regarding her character has happened or is increasingly more likely to happen doesn't mean it didn't surprise me with how well Hebikawa is written. I honestly believe this manga deserves an anime, and the first season oughta be 2 cores.

I have a feeling... Kusunoki is not going to win the race... And that feeling is pissing me off.

Do you mean that Hebikawa is going to win over Keisuke before Kusunoki figures out her feelings and decides to confess? Yeah, that would be a heart wrencher. I have a feeling that even if she does make him go "doki doki" for her again, and even if she does develop genuine feelings for him, he's going to find out that she only got close to him because she wanted to tear down Kusunoki, and the betrayal he'll feel will rival how he felt the first time he discovered that she was toying with him.

Yes and no.. Well first of all yes I am concerned that Hebi will make him fall for her again and possibly win the final race due to how much character development she's getting. No I don't think the betrayal plan will come to fruition or she will back down in time before making damage. She might then reveal it to Kusunoki, that this was her plan but Kusunoki being Jesus christ super star, will forgive her, tell her it doesn't matter and give her blessing to be with MC.

But I have another fear.. Noticed how much the moron MC has been "pushing" Kusunoki to approach and befriend other guys and notice how his blonde friend is getting closer inch by inch to Kusunoki by being the "supportive" guy? I have a feeling she will start having the same feelings for him as well and ultimately end up Kusunoki x Blonde friend and MC x Hebikawa and I would be absolutely let down if that's the case.

The way the author is writing the MC is almost like he's pushing for Kusunoki to be with another guy... It's unsettling.

I had dropped the manga when I found out that the MC decided to bring his male friends to the beach instead of just going with Kusunoki and the short friend and just returned out of curiosity due to YouTube showing me shorts of this... I regret my decision already...

Trust bro

I can fix her

 

[GregoryFregory]

just gonna say I'm really hoping Irie will show up more, way more than Otobe ever will. I know the tits are tempting but I think she can make a good character, hell she's already better than Otobe who just came to the manga glazing Kusunoki and suddenly falling in love to Shizuki, then disappeared from the manga for a while before the author brought her again just to remind people the author hasn't forgot about her.

You bitchin snake

 

[kmd3133]

i was about to like snake girl but she just keeps being a sore but with how things are now there wont be any development between main characters. so maybe snake girl messing with them can make kusunoki realize that she love him too (bc she obviously likes him romantically but didnt realize it yet).

 

[FlyintotheBlue]

this manga is a perfect mix between shoujo and shounen, from the the author's name I suspect the author to be a woman.

stare in a bathroom mirror and monologue

you crank it to way, way too much NTR, dude. This is a pretty basic love triangle, and like, 3 chapters ago Kusunoki just got the first pangs of love for him when practicing the dance. Well, guess it's more of a rhombus with the tomboy...

Anyway, does anyone know of any other romcom/drama series like this? I really like the themes of self-reinvention, anxiety over that reinvention and having to face an unpleasant past, mutual reliance, a protagonist like Kusunoki that tries her goddamn best even if she's miserably socially anxious, a villainess that can drive the plot like Hebikawa, that sort of thing. Something I can poke at while waiting for this to update.

 

[ultrabread]

shes such a gey disaster and also a straight up a disaster. A bi disaster if you will: "I want to see her dark side, so I'll just hop on the guy she's into to do so", ok so a plan to fuck two people at once and definitely isn't because of any pent up desires towards both or need for belonging. The evil third wheel.

 

[micz7ryu]

Who can fix her? I think that it is only her who could do such thing.

 

[Fgerjon]

Yep, if some of y'all weird fucks who still defends that darkness of a being, you're deserved to get the worst partner in your life istg....

 

[TNT261]

Good lord that inner monologue was cringe. You're a high schooler, not a forsaken Disney princess turned villian from some kid's fanfic 😂.

 

[Kalbiaczek]

Dirty fucking snake

 

[Zenerz2]

Hebikawa shows again why she is best girl.

At being a bitch

 

[naofummi]

[Sonaldo]

I'm beginning to think the snake eyed woman may be the bad guy in this series.

If bad why hot?

 

[SupremeDoc]

If bad why hot?
