Noa-senpai wa Tomodachi. - Vol. 4 Ch. 30 - Noa-Senpai and Summer Vacation Plans

[MiracleAttack]

She's cute, but she has mental issues. My man Rihito-kun should disappear without leaving any traces. Before she turns Yandere.
Am I the only one that was worried when she said she already had stuff bought for him in advance for the bath? >_>

I always have extra stuff prepared for guests like this-- that being said I have more than one friend and I'm not a yandere girl

The solution
to your broodin'
Is NUTRITIONAL

 

[FearlessDawg]

There's a basic loop of:

Noa misjudges the physical and emotional distance she should adopt towards Rihito,

Rihito (tries) sets a boundary

Noa cries and cries, spills out her fears and insecurities brought on by her abandonment issues and pessimistic nature,

Rihito concedes and gives her at least half of what she wants.
-

I'm wondering just what will it take for change to take place. Frankly I don't think they can keep going like this over and over... If they do then I really don't know if I will keep reading that far. I can't imagine Rihito truly snapping and if he does I don't see him staying mad for long. I also don't see Noa deciding she needs to change and be less clingy or less obsessive since obsessiveness seems to be her main trait as a person

Edit: I'm not trying to sound negative or anything, I just feel like they SHOULD change, especially Noa, if they want their relationship as friends to be healthy

nice

 

[Agularis]

Can anyone tell me if this is a monthly or weekly series? I just want to know the rate in which chapters come out

We try to get a chapter out every week

 

[Agularis]

TS, enjoy college, it comes only once, mangas will wait for you to go on this journey!

Will do my honest best

At this point they more like a childhood friends going to become husband and wife type of things because they click together bruv and man I have to give my 100% respect to the MC for putting up with his senpai she might be a klutz but she`s not bad at all and she`s cute too from some of those scenes. Imma give you this star for making me happy reading this author-san and translator-san ⭐⭐⭐. I`ll be back 😎.

I feel like that was the case in the early chapters, but not anymore. Over time he's become more and more of a floormat, just taking her escalating requests without much pushback. And in recent chapters whenever he did pushback, she just emotionally blackmailed him until he acquiesced and just went with what she selfishly decided.

She is pushy but I wouldnt say rihito is a floormat. Its not like he cant put up resistance to her if he ever wants to.

People always say she never respects him but recently when she had her "dont get a gf" freakout Rihito straight asked her to hang up so he could watch tv. Man literally prioritized tv and relax over coddling Noa. One could say she is indeed respecting his boudary there by letting him go watch tv instead of wanting more reassurance that he won't leave her.

Hell even a character in the manga said "well if he is ok with it, i guess its fine then" basically confirming he just isnt bothered by much and is willfully putting up with her shenanigans

Honestly, you nailed it. I think I'll drop this tbh. Would've been a good oneshot or a dozen chapters, but this is gonna be 100-200 chapters with little progress until a severely rushed ending.

 

[deathmailrock]

Thank you for the hard work XD

Btw, are you going to do the extra chapters???

Yah, that's going to be annoying...

Like, if they start dating and we get to actually enjoy them as a couple, then this could be fun....

 

[draxdeveloper]

Genuinely wish the author would give some POV for her personal thoughts beyond what she might say publicly for fear of ruining the relationship, because there is no "friendship" where you are upset entirely because you aren't spending every waking moment together, that is wanting something else.

well... It's a fact that this is exactly the reason she can't maintain any relationship

 

[draxdeveloper]

I feel like people dont realize or just forget Rihito holds 90% of the power in their relationship.

He is the one thats ok with being alone, she isnt. Dude can literally hint at no longer hanging out and she'll instantly fold like a cheap lawn chair and try to appeal. His personality is written as the type that can and will stand his ground on that

And people also forget that Noa never said that would do anything to him if he decided to end their friendship.
She would literally accept and go back to her lonely corner.
Yeah, she has emotional issues, this is something that was in fact stated by Rihito (mentally at least) before, and based on her life we know she is lonely because of those issues.
But that's it, people are totally projecting the rest.

 

[draxdeveloper]

But I do want Noa having emotional progress to be honest.
I hate cheap drama in fluffy mangas, but I do think in this case, one well written conflict would help force Noa to deal with her issues, or at least decide to start to deal with it.

Not simply any relationship, she doesn't treat or have the same expectations of Negiemon that she has of Rihito.

Negiemon even told her to her face that she acts like a clingly girlfriend when it comes to him. She'll treat her female friend like an actual friend, then treat Rihito like her boyfriend, while still pretending that a friend is all she see's him as potentially. I'm sure it's mostly coping with baggage from her previous relationships and we'll work past this eventually, but it is rather tiresome watching her deny what she is doing because she is afraid he will leave her like every other boyfriend she has had prior.

I mean, I know Noa likes Rihito differently and probably don't want to think about it because she is scared of making him angry.
But what I am saying is that she acts clingy, she is just extra clingy with Rihito
