My Girlfriend's Not Here Today - Vol. 4 Ch. 17 - Theatrical Collapse

[Quieo]

It will end up in threesome, just like author previous work

Which other work, the author mainly writes anthologies.

Stupid bitch nanase doesn’t care about her girlfriend after she and the person she has been cheating on her with just explained how it’s been going on for 3 months, clearly fuuko and yuni are innocent in this situation

I cant tell if youre joking or an actual idiot. Yuni couldve just talked to her girlfriend about how she felt but because she is genuinly a fucking moron she didnt. So, how is it Nanase's fault SHE was cheating. All rationality gets thrown out the window when a 2d character is hot, you need to socialize with REAL people

 

[Mae_e5]

I think everyone gets it, cheating is bad, buuuuuut...

I don't think there is any way to counter that Nanase brought it upon herself. She was repeatedly neglectful and didn't notice even a hint of what Yuni was going through internally. I get that she is not a mind reader, but if she spent more time with her girlfriend, she would pick up on something, since there was plenty to pick up on. But she was oblivious to that, oblivious about how hurt Yuni got by her insensitive behavior over and over again.

At that point, Fuuko didn't really have to work too hard to get inside those cracks. The girl was so starved for affection and attention and so vulnerable at times, that anyone who wanted to would walk right in.

Sure, it's all dysfunctional, lack of communication, manipulation, etc. etc. It wasn't Nanase's fault of course, but if you leave your front door wide open, you can't be really surprised that someone robbed your place.

Yuni never talked about how her club affected her even when Nanase asked about it. Nanase can't fix shit the problem if she doesnt know a problem is prevalent in the relationship

 

[Mae_e5]

Its crazy how even the readers are being manipulated by Fuuko. Some of you forget that Fuuko and Yunis relationship started because Fuuko was able to manipulate Yuni by stalking her twitter and black mailing her. Its crazy because if Fuuko wasnt so hot people wouldnt be shitting on the ONLY character with an actual life and hobby.

 

[Mae_e5]

Fuuko is a grade A manipulator. She even has the readers forgetting that she blackmailed and stalked Yuni

One thing is clear, all the characters in this story are extremely flawed individuals. Also not very likeable even. I couldn't even make a list who I dislike the most. They all make me want to slap them around. Spank even..

what the hell......

 

[mr_swedishfish]

there's so much to unpack here

 

[Rafalga]

Yuni is an attention whore amd needs to be treated as such
Fuuko needs professional help and should be kept out of society for a while
Nanese is just naive. And unlucky that her first relationship was with an attention whore

That’s all netorare in general friend, stable people in loving relationships don’t flounder about with other people. Also well rounded people don’t enter relationships with people who are already taken as that’s a great risk that it won’t work out and no wastes energy if they can help it.

Yuni just needs someone who will show her affection in public because she see nothing wrong about being gay. The other two are the one’s with baggage!

Yuni is a cheater. And as such, decidedly forgo all her rights the moment she did what she did

Yes Yuni should have said something like a normal person but there's also a thing called self-awareness y'know my brother. and Nanase is either too engrossed in club to notice the neglect or she just lacks self-awareness. either way everyone is at fault and I believe most can agree with that

I wouldn't call her an attention whore since she was pretty neglected imo but yeah good summary my man

 

[NoobGuyRuby]

I'm not sure why Nanase can't say that her girlfriend is the important thing, maybe she just can't commit to having a serious relationship?

Edit: Thinking it further, Nanase is afraid of comitting to the relationship and being seen with a (gay) partner in public, she copes with this fear by hyperfocusing on her club, and distracting herself (probably?). That's what I think. She probably did love Yuni (i don't think she'll continue after this) but was afraid of showing it which is what lead to Yuni cheating for feeling neglected.

Yuni craves attention and wants to feel loved, she wants Nanase to show her affection but what Nanase does is very little for her, and because Yuni is narcisisstic she often blames Nanase (which is partially true) but doesn't communicate her needs directly and instead went to vent on the internet, and when our homewrecker girl showed up, Yuni then moved to be comforted by her. She is aware that cheating is wrong and hates herself but also enjoys it.

100% agree. y'know I think this situation is similar to how for example parents need to show their kid they love them (especially for girls it will be obvious why in a sec) since if the kid thinks they aren't loved, they'll look for others to love them, which in turn can either make them be super happy in a lucky healthy relationship with another, or they fall into a toxic, unhealthy and overall scummy relationship (which girls often fall into).
Pretty much same thing but replace parent + child with gf + gf.

Thanks for the chapter and quality translation !
I'm not sure Yuni can be called an "attention whore". Some people seem to disregard her points. One can try to translate it in an adult world to see how Nanase, while obviously not malicious, had a heavy hand in Yuni's feeling of void.

Similar to chapter 3, your lover and you have a date in an attraction parc, you're putting on your best clothes and all ; suddenly, you see your lover brought her colleagues from work, and they don't know you're dating. While you're flirting while you're in the mass, but as soon you rejoin the known entourage your lover acts distant towards you, but his/her friend and colleague links arm with your partner, shares food and whatnot. You do say in private that you want to be closer and so your partner promises to do better.
For your 5th anniversary of your wedding, both of you planned a date for the whole day. Your lover learns that she gets to be on board of an important project for her firm and a simple reunion happens to be at that same date. You accept but you think that he/she will at least come for dinner (either reserved in a fancy restaurant or at home and you've prepared everything for it). No text, no phone call during the day. At the end of the reunion, your partner accepts and so accompagnies his/her colleagues for some drinks and food. He/she contacts you past midnight and sincerely apologizes profusely. Your lover promises to do better.
After some time, your partner has to go on an oversea business trip for the presentation of that project. "You're coming right, to see my presentation and encourage me?" (the wording is important). Your lover doesn't mention helping you in any way and won't spend time with you outside. You don't earn a lot of money, you'll have to try to get a visa in less than 2 weeks and get plane tickets for it and not forgetting the lodging. The only way to get that in a such short notice is...compensated dating with someone rich who can get you a golden visa and all (i doubt the bank would lend you money for these reasons).
Nanase seems to lack empathy or at least not being able to grasp the position of the others and such discards it carelessly, again without malice. (And that problem can apply to grownass adults too)

I can't tell whether this chapter is stupid or iconic. Either way I'm obsessed with the messiness of it all

 

[ForgottenSubs]

No matter if she is right or wrong, that "where's my mole?" is such a power move

 

[crossick]

nanase did not "bring it upon herself" yuni decided to cheat on her with fuuko. trying to argue that someone somehow did something that justifies cheating is quite literally just delusional

yeah but the reason she cheated was BECAUSE nanase didnt give yuni enough attention and only focused on the club, yuni wanted to feel loved and wanted attention and she wasn’t getting that with nanase so she got it from someone else BUT she still loved nanase, nanase was at fault, i get that its hard to focus on many things but she didn’t make ANY effort none to even send a message to her or even hang out with her especially on their anniversary, if she spent at least some of her time with yuni, yuni wouldve never cheated. also no one is saying that yuni cheated is a good thing so idk where u got that from but ur the one living in a delusion
