Noa-senpai wa Tomodachi. - Vol. 6 Ch. 56 - Noa-Senpai and Nursing

[rayce]

A wholesome and cute chapter. I am healed.

 

[Kaito57]

Noa is the Chaos and Faithfulness Rihito needs.

Rihito is the Patience and Strickness Noa requires.

They literally complete each other.

 

[Sennalove]

For Noa, yeah. For Rihito... it feels like if they date, the only way it would work is if he becomes a complete doormat and just bends to her whims every time. She's super clingy while he's more independent and needs alone time. I think they're mismatched and wouldn't work dating, but we'll see.

Rihito won't be a doormat, I can tell you that much. He has curved her habits and change her for the best thus far. She's only extra clingy comparing to before because she wants to be of use to him and just as dependable as he is to her. If anything, if they started dated, she'll probly dedicate her everything to him to make sure he doesn't leave like the others while he'll probly curve each attempt and try to set her straight.

Especially since she's subconscious of what his sister can and will say about/to her? If she isn't set straight before meeting her again, it might not end well and she knows this herself.

Rihito when cracking egg be like, "Who is taking care who???"

every chapter I realize she'd solve all her problems by dating him

That...I doubt that. I guess Noa just ended up getting even more spoiled by Rihito. 😭

JUST MARRY ALREADY

 

[Silfir]

Noa is a self-worth vacuum. Rihito deeply respects her for her professional skills, artistic sense, her giving nature, and impeccable work ethic, and he is honest to a fault. He is an infinite supply of the affirmation that Noa can't give herself but so desperately needs to be content. That's why she is constantly pulled towards him and will always try to be around him. It's basic physics.

The good news is that Rihito's respect for Noa isn't built on misconception. Every quality he respects Noa for is one that she actually possesses. No matter how much Noa fears that a day will come when Rihito understands the truth about her - that she is fundamentally unlovable - it simply won't. Because it's not true. And Rihito can easily spend their entire life together expressing his honest admiration of her. Lies are hard, telling the truth is not.

I'm not sure anything else is required for the relationship to work out long-term, at least on Noa's end. There isn't a boundary that Rihito is likely to set that she'll find unacceptable. (If anything, her past relationships have proved that she's far too accommodating, to the point of self-denial.)

What does Rihito get out of it, is the question. I think this chapter seems to try to show us that even though Rihito may not have much of a romantic or sexual drive and can be alone basically forever and be perfectly content, he does experience loneliness, and there'll be times when he needs someone else to be there for him - and if there's anything Noa will be all too happy to supply him with endless amounts of, it's herself.

Of course, as has been alluded to, if Rihito ever develops romantic and especially sexual desire towards Noa and she realizes, it'll be happily ever after, provided he lives through the initial onslaught of affection.

The author keeps edging us, like cmon make them kiss already for gods sake

sadly not in 30 more futher chapter

 

[DerpB]

Noa is so perfect it frustrates me that she's not real

 

[DanCulturedMan]

Slowly but surely we're getting Noa trying harder. I do get her worries over eggs cause it sucks getting bits of the shell into it and having to take them out. We need more chapters like this ngl, only way Rihito would ever understand on his own that something is happening between them (before their entire company reaches that conclusion other than them)

 

[unyin]

I'm actually pretty impressed with her this chapter. Turns out she isn't entirely useless.

She is making a effort to get better about it
Anyway, in another topic, she greets him even before seeing him, lol

 

[draxdeveloper]

Well, it's a fact for the character indeed

 

[Takuma_Aki]

PAGE 8 HOLY SHIT

I was about to say the same thing... Didn't notice it on P.8, but the meme page (couple with Noa's personality) definitely does remind me of it.

I was expecting she'd realize her feeling after P.19 though. Maybe not this chapter, but this moment will come back for sure, right?

 

[aa11bb]

Still thicc

 

[Highorse]

every chapter I realize she'd solve all her problems by dating him

less solved and more just taken care of by rihito imo. I really hope they only start "dating" after shes grown even more than now

 

[mgRdr]

if Rihito ever develops romantic and especially sexual desire towards Noa

It is already there. The manga is full of full-page shots of Noa from Rihito's perspective framed in such a way that her breasts are prominent, followed by Rihito pausing while contemplating something, then either deliberately averting gaze or saying something snarky as if to demonstrate his indifference. I don't think that would be me reading too much between the tits to say that it symbolizes something.
For whatever fucking reason, he is afraid of his own sexuality or even any shows of affection. And that's not sexual indifference, I don't buy that he is an asexual - he gets actively defensive and avoidant whenever there are even slightest signs of affectionate behaviour, and he wouldn't have been if he was 100% comfortable and content with who he's trying to be.
Rihito and Noa will get together in a romantic sense, that's not even a question, but the biggest hurdle will come from this Rihito's little quirk

JUST DATE ALREADY

 

[Chuito]

For Noa, yeah. For Rihito... it feels like if they date, the only way it would work is if he becomes a complete doormat and just bends to her whims every time. She's super clingy while he's more independent and needs alone time. I think they're mismatched and wouldn't work dating, but we'll see.

Completely disagree.

For it to work he absolutely CAN NOT be a doormat to her. He beings her some much needed stability, we all know that part, but she brings him some much needed color to his life in turn.
Rihito has already admitted to having a lot more fun after starting to hang out with Noa. Despite how much of a loner he normally is, he is still a human and still needs to socialize, he still has a lot of fun hanging out and getting to do things with her.

Ironically enough he is also helping her be more independent. Thats basically the running theme of this manga, they both make each other happier and better people while still having exaggerated personalities

This manga has shown to have decent enough writing for there to be things you can "read between the tits" lmao.

There are already a handful of scenes where Rihito has a more common reaction blushing and holding on for dear life to not pop a stiffy. Followed by Noa noticing his reaction and turning red herself yet isnt disgusted nor runs away.

Still, he has gotten a lot softer, kinder and outgoing, as stated by his coworkers, after being with Noa so much. Noa also has gotten more stable and noticeably happier.

Besides, if he really hates something hell just push her off with a stern no

"Rihito-kun being kind???"

Thanks for the chapter
