I'm not really sure where this angle is going and what the point of it is, tbh. It's not like up to this point the author has talked about curing the MC's fear of women or resolving the misunderstanding. Neither character has show much interest in that last one. Like this would be entirely different if the author just included scenes that showed she KNEW who the MC was the entire time and was pinning over a misunderstanding from middle school and wanted to resolve that. Like that could even be a plot point for why she became the female lead's friend. But we haven't gotten any of that. This just feels like it's happening because all of a sudden the author decided the MC deserved a harem (that the character himself hasn't even been written to want) because reasons.

The premise of the Manga is that the MC becomes temporary friends with the Female lead to help her grow into herself, learn how to make friends, and enjoy high school. Of course this can change and grow overtime (I mean none of us expected them to just be "temporary friends"), but that has to be something that happens overtime with the character's revealing what they truly want in scenes and us learning more about the entire main and side casts wants and personalities.

All that said, some of these comments really need to chill out with how they're referring to a high school girl. I'm gonna play devil's advocate here and say honestly she hasn't really done anything that bad. She made traumatized the MC in middle school by being your basic middle schooler (and yeah, those are just awful but at the same time that makes sense because they're a mess a hormones, developmental stages, not knowing who they are, desperate to fit in, etc). It really says more about him that that's somehow turned into a whole allergic reaction to all pretty girls (which the Manga barely even mentions anymore). As a high schooler she has shown that she really cares about popularity and keeping up appearances and social cliques, but that's also pretty normal for her age and she's hardly gone full mean girls. I don't think she's a good person to have as a friend and she's incredibly immature (though she doesn't act it, she cares way too much about what the social hierarchy thinks of her and appearances which is again normal for a high school teen). But she's not yet done anything "that" bad in the sense of having long term negative consequences, aside from the MC's trauma which again says more about him.

I say this still not liking her myself and only say it because I'm cringing back in time (and feeling really uncomfortable and worried) at what more than one comment are saying towards a high school girl especially when she again, hasn't exactly slit any throats recently. Honestly calling her "fake" should be enough because that seems to describe her pretty well. I also think a lot of this frustration would be better aimed toward the author.

she is an objectively bad person lmao why are people just forgetting how she treated the fmc? She only looks at people to see how she can use them lol not normal at all

Spoiler: future chapters

looking ahead the reasoning for her being like this is retarded as well and I’m pretty sure she shows 0 remorse lol

Snake..

 

[Seraph_Dalgon_]

Why is this dude even following her like a dog 😐

Could've literally just ended the conversation at "We have nothing to talk about" 😶

I mean you can see that she baited him with the whole "we were so close in middle school" line which piqued his interest, and it's not hard to imagine he'd want some closure on the matter if she does, in fact, remember him and what she did.

Another cliffhanger:v

 

[Matt913]

full on Orochimaru.

 

[mic69420]

Oh yeah? And she's gonna blackmail him into dating her and if he doesn't agree, he will reveal his past to the whole school. Hope not.

 

[mlow44]

oh no, bros. I'm starting to like her.

Who hurt you?

And why didn't it stick?

 

[DementisXYZ]

That last page is great; face fully presented like a target.

 

[StellaIsSleepy]

If he had stabbed that cunt then and there, nobody would have blamed him.

romance manga fans try not sound unhinged challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

 

[kiero13]

Snakes are a diverse group of animals, and their means of hunting varies depending on species. However, most of them are ambush predators. The most common forms of hunting include constriction, where the snake closes in, wraps herself around the prey, and suffocates him. Next is venom, where the snake sinks her fangs into the prey, causing his body to slowly shut down and perish. Finally, she may just straight up swallow the prey whole.

Swallow?

 

[AlterArsene]

Where are you going with this author-kun... she better not have had a crush on him in middle school

The Spanish translation is up to 31 in another site, about the reason she is that way and the MC(I'm not fluent in Spanish so I can't say it is 100% correct):

Spoiler: Spoilers

basically she liked a idol when she was a kid and wanted to be a nice girl like her, but other girls in school started to be a dick to her, and she decided to be a dick back at those girls, she got disappointed that she couldn't be a perfect nice girl, then she saw on the news that the idol she liked was fired for underage drinking and got happier after noticing that the idol also was not perfect, and everything was fine with her until she met the female lead that apparently is what she wanted to be for real, so now she wants to see the "dark side" of the female lead

About the MC she didn't care, she was just curious about why he avoided her, and when he talked about his trauma she basically told him that was a skill issue on his part to fall in love with her just because she was nice to him

MC decided to stop avoiding her like the plague because he decided that was a waste to go out of his way just to avoid a person that doesn't even care about him, he still hates her

 

[LeonsamaX]

Trauma both wants him to gtfo and wants to hear her out, either way I hope Kusunoki shows up and drags him away from this bitch ASAP

 

[testableneptune]

I don't like snakes in my garden.

SNIP

Setting boundaries and inflicting trauma aren't the same thing, fam.

 

[exxp]

I don't get all the over-hate against the cute snake-cat girl, all what she's done is badmouthing him only once.
