Out of topic but author please let Hebikawa be a bad person, we don't need the "it's a misunderstanding" trope which turns into a love triangle (or even love square if Kusunoki's friend fall in love with mc too)
I get the feeling she's not going to end up as an unredeemably horrible evil person - it does seems like there was some serious misunderstanding going on in the past, though it's hard to tell given we've only seen the MC's internal perspective and a few hints of Hebikawa's perspective. But one thing that's really clear at this point is that Hebikawa is not a particularly nice person - she's far too self-centred and arrogant, and she doesn't seem to care about how other people feel, even people whose feeling she should care about (like, say, the guy she's apparently decided she likes?)

Unless the story goes through a serious direction change Hebikawa is going to end up being the not-evil-but-still-bad antagonist that serves to highlight just how much better the real love interest is.

The perennial question: how do you translate something that's probably just a bit silly and kind of cute in the original cultural context, but has no equivalent in the language/culture you're translating it to . . . I totally agree, though, this doesn't work very well.

Kusunoki certainly loves a drink doesn't she. Can see her having a liver transplant by the time she's 40 :haa:

I am going to drop this shit... She invites him solo... He fucking messes it up like a gaylord beta male by basically making her invite her other friend and then he asks her to bring his fucking perverted monkey of a friend that's hell bent on NTRing the shit out of him DESPITE her clearly saying she doesn't want to be seen by other boys.

I am fucking dropping this shit. I said it before and I'll say it again: terribly written protag

How is it in the dumps "bruh"? When she called him she was insinuating for them to go alone, just the two of them. But the beta cuck said "Won't it be weird just the two of us" which prompted her to bring her shortie friend. And as if this wasn't a massively missed opportunity, for them to be alone, he decided it was wise to bring his two friends, with one of said friends literally gunning for his girl. Hell MC even tried to play matchmaker for his friend and Kusonogi in the past before she had to tell him "I am fine with you being my only male friend"

And even now, she made it clear she's uncomfortable but he didn't even bother to take it back... Fucking disgrace for a man srsly.

Tell me where exactly did my comprehension "go to the dumps" throughout this...? "bruh"

Welp, I just noticed the title change. "Kusunoki's Flunking Her High School Glow-Up". The moment I saw that, I knew that it was being published officially in English now.

I don't know why they changed the word "debut" to "glow-up". I think "debut" works better in context.

I don't think she will be a love interest at all. This is one of those stories where the OTP is decided from the get go. She will most certainly however have a redemption arc. That's the cliche part of the story. If she was portrait as unapologetically evil it might have been different but she was not. Her reasons are as deep as a puddle but there are reasons.
Being unapologetically evil is pretty cliche itself.

Getting a slap on the wrist after attempting literal genocide is like a pillar of shounens. Next to that, being straight up evil for a main character is pretty small portion. I'm not talking about some comically evil throw away character. She is a POV character in this story. (well she will be)

If you're defining a primary antagonist as a "main character." But even then that's very common. Basically every main villain in Jojo, Hisoka from HXH, the teacher in Erased. Hell, Light Yagami is literally the protagonist of Death Note and while he doesn't start as unapologetically evil, he becomes unapologetically evil almost immediately. It's so common that it almost isn't even a trope to be pointlessly evil, it's just the default for antagonist. I honestly struggle to see how you can think this sort of character trait in an antagonist is original, let alone uncommon.

In this chapter; Shizuka destroying her friends' emotional states.

well after realizing she's an F cup it all comes together

(and yea, japanese cup sizes, that's more around a D or DD in America).

-find out that you both like the same guy.

Absolutely rough going

especially when it's basically set how the ship ends way before she even appeared:
