Misaki-kun wa Kouryaku Chara Janai - Ch. 35 - The Sheltered Girl Won't Come Home

[WorseTYou]

So, do Hareta's parents actually exist? I'm not going to go back through the whole series to look for them, but do we ever actually see his parents/their faces? With blondie, one of the more "aware" characters, doubting the existence of areas outside Japan, I'm wondering how far the last Thursdayism goes here. Is this an actual, full world, or a poorly thought out snippet for a dating sim? I'm expecting this series to get pretty existential at this point, so having Miss Knows More Than She Lets On question things feels like foreshadowing.

Nasuverse visual novels be like:

"Oh you didn't pick the other girls?

WELL HAVE FUN WATCHING THEM GET RAPED AND KILLED IN HORRIBLE WAYS BITCH!"

jesus. worst example i could really think of was nami from harvest moon, who left the valley and never came back if you didnt marry her.

That's why in Harvest Moon/Rune Factory games I always marry the ones who seem to not have anyone besides the player in their life.

The world only ends up looking worse and worse the more we know about how it works

 

[slyss]

To anyone here that knows, are arranged marriages actually still a thing in Japan, even if rare?

---

Yes, around 15% of modern marriages are through omiai, or "arranged marriages" (per the 健康と出産に関する全国調査).

That said, the idea of them being arranged entirely by families is almost extinct (mostly among some weird ass traditional wealthy families), because in general, it has evolved to be a programmed matchmaking that involves both individuals, often mediated by a third party (仲人, or matchmaker)

Destroying the world so you can be with your femboy girlfriend feels more common a motive than you'd think it should.

 

[GambierBay]

Man is willing to burn down the world to be with his femboy girlfriend and I'm here for it

 

[Hitansy]

Ma boi hareta cooking something to burn that world.
Keep at it boi.

it's always interesting when the apparent game-like nature of their universe bleeds through or gets explicitly talked about, hope that gets some grand payoff somehow.

"I can't leave the town because the universe needs me to be Available For Events Near You" would be such a horrifying situation to be in...

 

[GambierBay]

The world only ends up looking worse and worse the more we know about how it works

Honestly maybe thats why he wants to burn the game world down...

 

[Goldis]

Man, when looked at outside of femboy hijinks, their lives really are a nightmare scenario. The game system is not a nice reality to be in.

They free... Inside a box

Seriously tho it's scary because they AWARE and like a string puppet there's nothing they can do

Unless kirihara rip the fabric of space and time to kiss his femboy Tongue style

 

[Xonthelon]

Leave the fanservice to Misaki-kun, heroine. He is a natural.

A lot of food for thought this chapter

 

[Sherlocke_d]

Yeah, I think it's a commentary on dating sims in general. If you think about it, choosing a route usually (I have limited experience here, correct me if I'm wrong) kinda freezes all the other routes narratively. If the losing heroines don't just disappear, that means that the situations that the heroines find themselves in before their route (i.e. the gyaru heroine here is getting married to some old dude) still happen, and those situations are usually not good. By not choosing a heroine, Hareta is kinda damning all of them to their bad ends unless he finds a way to save everyone and still be with Misaki.

why does this femboy manga have deep lore/anything to actually say

There's also a theory from another commenter that stated that this wasn't Hareta's first world and that he's failed before. I personally think it's pretty plausible judging by his reactions to everything.
Anyways, I think it can also be seen as a meta take on society itself, roles people fill. Stigma against gay relations ships, etc.

 

[Tic_tac_potato]

This is literally a tragedy disguised as a lighthearted comedy. I actually really like it when the characters acknowledge their existence in a game, it's a interesting perspective I don't think I've seen tackled in manga specifically

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[krater]

we all know the solution is to get the harem ending, misaki's harem ending

 

[Pandemult]

To help distract everyone from the existential horror contained within this manga: PARTNER WEARING BOYFRIEND'S OVERSIZED SHIRT TROPE AHHHH

 

[Dirgecry]

This is unfortunately going to just have Misaki try to create distance again after hearing that...

But yeah, this world sucks. Even if Hareta gets his good ending with Misaki , and it doesnt reset, the others seem doomed.

Maybe the way to stop the resets, while being with Misaki, is to make sure the 3 of them not chosen are set on a happy route even without Hareta.

Or he goes for the harem route. All of these games have one

 

[AccForManga]

Or he goes for the harem route. All of these games have one

Except he explicitly doesnt want that. He only wants Misaki.

He outright said he knows the heroines are cute and kind but he only wants to win over Misaki.

Him going the harem route would ruin the entire point of the series.

 

[Pandemult]

Or he goes for the harem route. All of these games have one

He's gay, and he only wants Misaki.
