The plot thickens and goes a way I wasn't expecting to.
I actually find it refreshing wpikd be interesting to know more of his backstory.

Damn these last couple chapters have been fire. Some really good framing here, too. Loved the closeup of her eye, and the shot of kimura shrouded in leaves.
This series subverting my expectations every time is always a treat but damn it's getting real good, finally addressing the elephant in the room that is kimura and his outsider mindset.

Kimura’s gonna try something stupid like nabbing the cat girl so Manaka is free to get Ei-kun but doesn’t realize he’ll be turning her into a second-time losing heroine

 

[OWMWO]

BOY... You should take her hand and go I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IS.

 

[phabrykMaester]

Dead mom club, let's gooooo!

 

[Dragonbolt03]

It's so easy to forget that this guy isn't isekai'd, he lives here. He had a life, he has a family, and yet he has this mindset where he entirely depersonalizes himself and has latched onto the love triangle of 3 random people in his class while acting like it's the center of the universe

Objectively, he's fucking weird and a bit crazy

 

[Umbrum]

Kimura’s pops either cheated and hid it from or slimed out the mom and lied, “nah lil ngga she left us for a lawyer or brain surgeon she was fucking with” 😭

He might be adopted, for some reason the way he spoke about his father and his mother felt pretty detached.

It's a bit dark but my guess is that Kimura's mother was a losing heroine. She tried to make it work with his dad, but she couldn't move on from the memory of her first love. In the end, it got too painful for both of Kimura's parents to remain together so they decided to split amicably. Kimura's mother wasn't abusive to him but her lingering attachments to her first love made him subconsciously wonder if he has the right to be on this planet. I think Kimura sees Manaka's situation as an opportunity of sorts to prevent anyone from being born in the same situation as him, make the losing heroine win so she won't have to be with someone she's not completely happy with.

I do think that's the most likely situation but I think it'd be a bit too on the nose, I'd prefer it if it was a bit less direct.

What I feel for Kimura rn

 

[blif]

The Love square continues 😭

 

[arimareiji]

So confused. He says his dad told him she passed away, but then Sensei makes a big deal out of "he saw something" with no real indication of what it was.

C'mon, Sensei. Give us at least a hint of the drama, don't tell us "Tune in next week! There will be drama!". Especially right after leaving us hanging on "What if anything did they say to each other after 'Just as I thought, you are not going to take my hand. I understand now.'" (Seriously, what the heck? Feels like an AI wrote it.)

 

[EulBassist]

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[dcdfvr]

Yes give us that Kimura backstory

God if this turns out to be an actually good version of "The girl I saved on the train was my childhood friend" I will be a happy angry. Happy because its good. Angry because I had to be reminded of that steaming pile of shit known masquerading as a romcom.

I'm enjoying that the characters and story are not very straightforward at all. Hopefully we learn more about why he's so obsessed with getting Manaka, the losing heroine, together with Ei.

 

[Renan_Walheim]

Cicadas chirping so is a summer related story.

 

[Edrikhtg]

Wait hold on, so now it's about Kimura and possibly he's being liked by both girls and THEN he gets to choose?

Holy Makeine, well played author, well damn played...

It's so fucking good, that scene from chapter 10 where he refused to carve his names on the table with them (despite them ALL wanting him to) was so telling. He can't even accept normal friendship let alone love.

Manaka ordering him to dance with her, and crucially specifying that it's not in a romantic way, and still getting rejected... like what a nightmare to realize this about your hot reliable wingman. I really want to see what she does next with this

 

[Primo_Itoko]

What a great fucking chapter omg

 

[Gogglesluxio]

Kimura is the losing heroine in his relationship to life humu humu
