thanks for chapter

 

[Shrimperor]

I predict that this arc of the story is going to annoy the fuck out of me...

I can't wait for author-san to drag it out for 20+ chapters. /s

Jesus, this is actually making me miss the snake-bitch.

I am anti-snake bitch but ngl some part of me thinks snake-bitch romance would make for a more interesting manga

 

[soulhunterz]

this is why snek girl best girl

She hurts them all directly without hesitation, non of this romcom-dragged out BS


LET'S GO MAH SNEK GIRL 🐍🐍🐍

 

[Alsavarolltime]

We need snake eater to help her.

"Kept you waiting, huh?"

 

[PhilPhedora]

Interestingly, if MC makes a move on kusonoki, it'd be proving ren right, that no man can be friends with her.
And if otobe moves in, it'd be repeating the childhood triangle.
There is only one logical conclusion: choose neither and walk the path of snake 🙌🐍🐍🙌

I dunno - the fact that Kusunoki seemingly learned nothing from that incident, and behaves around Keisuke exactly as she did around Ren while ...I guess being surprised that history might be repeating itself, doesn't really fill me with confidence that this won't devolve into more of the standard formulae of romcoms.
I find it difficult to believe that she seemingly just isolated herself all throughout middle school and devoted zero time or effort in trying to figure out what went wrong. Even if she thinks it was her fault (laughable, but whatever), lacking the level of introspection to simply question the events and think about how to do better, just doesn't make sense to me - even if she was just entering adolescence.
We are shown she's an intelligent girl who actually is capable of analysis after the fact, so just being told "oh and then she went on for several years as an isolated otaku with zero friends" only to be pretty much the same person, developmentally, come 1st year in high school just....feels super forced for the sake of narrative.

But I just feel bad for Otobe in all of this. She did her due diligence and asked to make certain that she wouldn't be stepping on Kusunoki's toes if she went after Keisuke - and Kusunoki parroted the same line about "not getting romance".
So if she's worried about all of this now, that kinda indicates she does know that Keisuke has feelings for her, because why else would this even come up for her? Except she spent all that time denying it, and hanging onto him in the same way she did in this flashback, and thus the fallout is kinda her fault, this time, by way of not being proactive.

 

[mrboxeater]

These kids feel more like adults or teenagers, drama like this would last a month and then nobody would give a shit lmao

 

[brndndss]

this that frustrating kind of plot stalling

 

[Shrimperor]

Chat is turning into Team Snek lmao

 

[ImJustTesting]

Thanks for the work!

This won't be resolved in a couple of chapters, right? Any chance we can get this entire arc summarized into a single chapter? Or two? Just throw the most important and pretty pages together so we can see the two of them hugging at the end, and continue with the story.

 

[MadScientist666]

No snek is this chapter, so nice
So I guess the next 250 chapters will be her neglecting her own feelings to not hurt her friends, cuz she think she did it before (when she obviously was the victim)…
I can already see chapter 301, where Moe yells at her to finally listen to her own feelings and be honest, then she’ll run somewhere and mc will find her, after he finally managed to escape the snek’s constricts
Thanks for the translation

Uhh, you know this is not Rental Girlfriend? /s

 

[makimabeanster]

Do not falter snekbros, next chapters are ours

 

[Tinker_OwO]

Don't worry y'all! When Keisuke confesses and gets rejected, he'll fall in love with Otobe and because they both also really care for Kusunoki all 3 will remain really good friends

Trust me

Can you imagine typing all that over a single chapter of a manga whose story was clearly written on a piece of toilet paper while the author was taking a shit? That's some self-humiliation kink. 👨‍🦼

"Guess I'll die"

 

[Friendly-Sentence710]

bitch girl chigusa since elementary school, idiot ren-kun like shitty man (he only cared about Kusunoki sexy body, not sincere love) sad for kusonoki

thank you for translating

Puberty is a hell of a drug.

Good Old Japanese Public Ostracization Over Rumors !!

I swear, it's like 99% of the Anime Mob Population are just waiting on stand-by to just exclude anybody over anything !!

"Hey, I heard that guy once colored the sky on his drawing with a slightly darker blue... LET'S EXCLUDE HIM SOCIALLY !!!"

That's anywhere really, but its especially bad in Japan due to enforced social consensus.

Quoting your post 7 years in the future:
"Wow! Dude you psychic or something?"

 

[Throwawail]

interesting. i kinda hope that the obvious pairing of shizuki and kusonoki doesn't happen just to validate kusunoki's 'just want to be friends' stance. like kusonoki learns that shizuki likes her, repeating a similar relationship drama, but things turn out fine.

Yeah, it's kinda unfortunate that this chapter set up the entire "You're too hot for a guy to ever just want to be friends with you"-flag, only for it to be validated. :/
Not that FMC shouldn't get together with MC, that's the entire point of this Manga, but then don't raise that flag.

 

[NutzYaboku77]

Classic "I hurt them", when it's the opposite 😐

Also, it's weird how she now decides to hold back her friend said that, because neither of them has the right to decide who he ultimately likes, almost makes it look like the person says "Okay, so you like him, fine you can take him", it do be icky

That's basically every FLs sob story 🤣

You're in a website about manga FORUMS, the whole point is to comment about the stories we read.
