Kusunoki-san wa Koukou Debut ni Shippai Shite Iru - Ch. 41.2 - My relationship with Kusunoki might be changing (Second part)

[biologist]

I would be lying if I say I don't have bully turn lover fetish bias.

Why did this become a monthly manga :/

Oh that seems pretty tame compared to what I expected.

Why at night though? She planning to "Imasara" him in a love hotel?

I mean, 19:15 isn’t that late, and besides, we don’t even know when Hebikawa called him—it just shows a missed call.

Edit: Actually, the MC noticed his phone vibrating, so yeah, Hebikawa did call him at 19:15.

Based on that I might think Hebi and MC might actually become super close to becoming a "thing" but when she realizes despite being hurt Kusunoki still supports her. She might break and give up kinda

Looks like the future's bleak hebibros

Ominous music plays from the phone

KEISUKE BRO CHARGE YOUR FUCKING PHONE -guy whose phone is on 6% rn

I dunno how I thought that said 21:15 when I read it, but also wasn't the phone ringing in his pocket in that moment, when he decided to ignore it? Not saying that changes all that much in practical terms, of course.

 

[YamiryuuZero]

I don't care about what is going on with Hebikawa at all!
Good call not answering her, well, call!

Big assumption that Kusunoki cares about Keisuke's romance arc lol

Sarcasm aside, that would be pretty par for the course in how romcom manga tend to go, sad as it may be. Would love this title to buck the trend, but I've said that about 100 titles now and have yet to be pleasantly surprised.

 

[KanzakiYuu]

Am I the only one who picks up every call from my contact? The reasoning behind that is I never know when someone needed my help so I'm not taking any chances.

Oh, yeah, you’re right. He actually noticed the call when his phone started vibrating, so Hebikawa really did call him at 19:15. That’s what I get for skimming through the chapter without paying attention.

hey, we got there in the end between us, so group effort for the win

That definitely takes the wind out of the sails of my theory that it was some sort of emergency, though. But on the flip side, that means him ignoring it doesn't spell potential "bad stuff" for Hebikawa, so I guess that's okay as a silver lining (I was worried her dad got super angry at her, or she was locked out of her house, or something actually serious, so it being not-that-late of a phone call lessens the severity of whatever reason she has for contacting him).

Same, especially if it is someone who never calls me, even if they hate me. Like the time my estranged grampa suddenly called after 2 years of not talking to me.

Turned out he was near my home and he needed someone to quickly bring him to the hospital.

The hotel staff would have to scrub off barf in adition to the usual bodily fluids

 

[Darklight99]

Yep, once again this dude is too spinless to elaborate on what he said, crazy how he tried to ask her "what do you mean by that" she tried her best to explain


But when he gets asked the same question he just hits her with the bullshit "who knows?" And "figure that out on your own" responses

Are you fucking kidding me? This kids really needs to grow up smh

Because if he actually went further, it'd only hurt his chances. Kusunoki hates the idea of getting into a romantic relationship.

Just gonna ignore that Kusunoki is on record saying she doesn't want to really think about Keisuke in "that way" more than once now?

He obviously missed his chance to ask her around the festival, but he's also tried twice now to figure out what she thinks of him beyond "a friend", and both times she's shut him down.

And even in this very chapter, when he voiced the whole "we might be seeing less of each other now" and she responds "I'm kinda happy you feel that way".
She says they won't grow apart, but that doesn't feel like she's really leaving the door open for something to develop between them at this point in time.

And Kusunoki's not the only one with a character arc to address, so shelving her for now and any potential romance shenanigans with Keisuke is kind of appropriate, with the focus moving over to Hebikawa.

This is the one time where a phone being shown to be on 1% battery is a good thing

You are my ...

 

[FlyintotheBlue]

What kind of degenerate puts their phone in their pocket with the screen pointing outwards instead of pressing against the leg

It was done for the convenience of storytelling. How can we as the readers see what's on the screen if it was pressed against the leg
