We're in process of putting them under the volume 4. Mangadex for some reason took them out of "volume 4" label

 

[blablablub]

Akira's right, y'know?

 

[Seetee]

Thank you for the translation!

They are not even subtle with what they want anymore...

 

[Rorozeus]

Thanks for the TL! Happy new year!

I was so confused I thought it created a loop between 27 -> 23 -> 24 and so on forever

The more we learn about Akihito's supposed past transgression, the more stupid and nothingburger it seems.

 

[Asy1]

CUTE!!!

 

[whitenight2013]

Yeah the drama feels kind of forced and dishonest. Unnecessary too since they could've just made his goals more Hachiman-like with keeping the class together. The flirting is as cute as ever though

 

[NLDutchie]

W best friend, may he soon find the love of his life.

 

[Mafeb]

What a cute gremlin

 

[PraetorDragoon]

The best friend is putting in his best effort. I wish him the best of luck that he finds someone he likes.

(And I hope that he does punch the protagonist in the face at some point if this keeps on. )

Thanks for the chapter.

The more we learn about Akihito's supposed past transgression, the more stupid and nothingburger it seems.

part of me thinks it's because the way he's acting, it's like he personally broke his teammates' legs and spat on them on the field.
Akira confirms here that none of it was Akihito's fault, that Akihito's the only one who's blaming him(self), and that it's all in the past anyway and continuing this victim/bad-guy charade is only going to make him suffer forever, for no actual benefit.
It's just a martyr-complex. I'm not saying what transpired wasn't horrible, but the Akihito's the only one still hurting, and it's because he feels like he has to be forever alone and unhappy - but he's the only one we've seen who feels that way, at least among the cast that matters.

Anyone playing the "woe is me I did something in the past and deserve purgatory for eternity" card gets more insufferable the longer that behavior persists. Hopefully he turns the corner on its sooner than later, because it really does get exhausting dealing with someone like that. However justified their mindset might have been at one point in time, it's clear that Akihito's self-persecution act has overstayed its welcome, given Akira threatened to cut ties with him here and now if Akihito let his past sabotage any future with Charlotte.

That's my take on it, anyway. I'm not going to downplay what did happen, but Akihito acting like he's to be forever sentenced to a life of solitude and 'being the bad guy' this far after the fact would wear thin on me if I were in Akira's shoes.
Akihito's lucky he's the ML of a romcom comic, because if this were more realistic I think his desire to be punished would become self-fulfilling after all this time and he truly end up alone after driving everyone away.

I've seen spoilers for it. While I won't say it's a nothingburger, the kid is definitely punishing himself in excess. Which, hey, he's getting called out on by multiple people in the story.

It reminds me of a very distinct quote from Marvel Heroes from Ghost Rider to Spider-Man, which stuck with me; "Your guilt actually exceeds your sins."

 

[Shinigamisama]

Akira is a real best friend, very nice. And he gives some nice motivational advice. We're just starting 2026 but he already deserves the best friend of the year award. (Or well, he could be the last entry for 2025.)
This scene is just like a mother and daughter fighting over dad's attention.
Lottie loves getting spoiled, doesn't she?
Looks like it's time to go dad mode and find out the reason why Emma wants to stop going to school.

Happy new year, everyone!

 

[Lex79]

This is when the friend realizes he's ot the protagonist of the manga and he has to give up on the heroine. But he gave good advices and made for a perfect wingman.

 

[Eliminateur]

Oh no... maybe Emma is getting bullied in preschool!
