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

[kinayas]

I can fix her

 

[KiARume]

Come on guys she's still in the race! What if she actually falls for mc in the process and snek eyes becomes a better person!













Then MC still picks fmc cause shes a normal fucking human being. Guys come on now I still like snek eyes design more than kusonoki, but shes just not worth it I cant defend this bitch anymore

It's too bad Snake was the focus of so many people this chapter because I really liked Irie getting some backstory. But oh well!

 

[Asheron]

Salmissra reborn, the eternal snake queen! Would really love an alternate universe yuri spinoff with Kusonoki/Hebikawa. Hebikawa really gives me Miyagi vibes. She's definitely the reason I read every chapter rather than letting a few build up in the queue. So engaging! And love the costume this week!!

 

[TinsleyNocturnal]

What a bitch. "Oh, I'm an awful person, so everyone else must be awful people too." Shut the fuck up bitch. Sit in the corner and cry into your fancy teacup.

 

[Kanade0021]

thanks for the translation!

 

[Catbowl]

Hebikawa is like the Joker, who fell into madness because of one bad day, and now he wants to prove everyone else is just like him by giving them one bad day expecting them to fold just like he had, in a universe where Spider-Man exists!

Batman is from DC and Spiderman is from Marvel, ackshually

 

[USB3pt0]

me whenever snake bitch is in the vicinity of kusunoki

 

[YamiryuuZero]

Batman is from DC and Spiderman is from Marvel, ackshually

Batman has made several crossovers with Marvel characters, including the Avengers and Spider-Man himself.
Hell, he even made crossovers with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Scooby-Doo and BUGS BUNNY! Batman is the great equalizer of intellectual properties!

She definitely just trash trying to bring others down to her crudy level

 

[waldo220]

It'd be funny if her plan was to get Shizuka to catch her kissing Keisuke but his trauma causes him to vomit in her mouth while she does it and somehow, that settles things for Shizuka and she goes to comfort Keisuke.

 

[Joe17mama]

Y'all dont understand, she's gonna get corrected by Kusunoki purity and that character development is what makes her best girl.

Heel-turn-face incoming baby 🐍

Exactly. She's gonna have a wholesome development and genuinely fall for Shizuki but will lose out to Kusunoki, but it's fine. She will no longer be a maladjusted girl, and will take the first steps to becoming more well-adjusted and leading a more fulfilling, less dreadful life.

 

[theshet]

I get it. She is disollusioned by life. She denied her whole self because it wasn't in line with what she wanted. Resulting in her WANTING to find faults in others to satisfy that she alone isn't the odd one out. So much so that if she sees someone actually pure and true to themselves she wants to INTRODUCE a crack in them so satisfy her own mind.

 

[Raynn77]

Hell nah I was defending you last time but not this BS 🙏

[YourAverageMangoEater]

Get away from my guy you devil

 

[StLL]

god, i wish she'll use me instead...

 

[Cluracan]

Hmm, I can believe that Hebikawa would want to drag people down to her level to prove to herself that everyone's like her deep down. However, i have trouble believing that she would verbalize it like this. It makes it seem like she thinks she's the bad guy in her own head.

 

[Iamcheater]

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

 

[functionWander]

"become the evil you're afraid exists in the world, to justify hardening your heart."

It's very much the kind of motivation that's easy to arrive at in an armchair psychoanalysis fashion, and convince yourself it's true because it tells a complete story... but it's absolutely not the kind of thing a real person thinks to themselves ahead of time as their motivation to act. That's bananas.

When she isn't behaving like this, I think her characterization as a pragmatic not-that-mean Mean Girl is actually really well done

I've met people like that though, I don't think is bad writing. However, I thought part of the reason they behaved that way was because they were under the influence of media (TV shows and the like), you add to that some trauma, and you get a person with an overdramatic view on life.

If the point is to protect her psyche, she's clearly smart enough to rationalize her way out of the problem

I don't know how she would rationalize it differently. While smart, she's mentally unstable and a teenager who hasn't had any positive feedback on her worldview. FMC is a contradiction to her beliefs; being wrong wouldn't only hurt her pride, but it would mean that her suffering was meaningless in a way

She's in a loop, clenching tightly to denial. What you envision wouldn't be possible for now, because it would require her to have a different mindset, accepting that she just wasn't as great as she believed (she already thinks that, since she knows she's not her ideal self, but she believes that it is because nobody can be like that instead of being a problem with herself).
