Thx for the TL

oooooh noa, so insecure, so crazy, i love it

 

[Hardik_7547]

Thanks a lot for the translations.

 

[Rewdy]

She is so perfect. Thank you weird femme fatale for keeping Noa in a crazy state

Her counter-attack is flawless.

The new girl really does rub me the wrong way. I get that her view of relationships is fucked due to having so many men try to ask her out after they became friends. However, all she's done is homewreck by "playing" with Noa and trying to tease Rihto about his relationship with Noa.

 

[razorshaleh]

insecure senpai, MC is very insensitive. what a nice combo and it seems like senpai misunderstood again here

thank you for translating

 

[Triano]

I like how Mika is just permanently set to "Ara, how cute" mode, kinda like Reni being an eternally angry hamster.

Homewreck would imply they are a couple, girl is a bit twisted for sure but looking at it objectively.... she hasnt actually done anything bad? Both parties insist on being friends, Noa is just extremely obessive over her friends and prone to jealousy so any minor rather normal interactions set her off so quick. The sister i dislike because she is aggressively rude and hostile, but Mika being rather normal to Rihito who shes known for many years triggering Noa isnt homewrecking.

We live in a time where even most same-sex friendships are being scrutinized and questioned, what about cross-sex friendships, lmao?

I'm fine as long as she doesn't go into some classic "the central couple of the story is too obvious, so I'm here to messing with them to create false tension" mode like so many romance titles do.

 

[phil777]

Rihito, again, is just like me. Maybe he's Canadian? Ha!

 

[AnotherDuck]

Noa gets along so well with Mika.

Billion yen question. Not that his answer is particularly articulate.

Friendship between men and women do exist.

He ain't biting any of her hooks.

And Noa's first thought is that she made Mika feel bad. Despite all the red flags she has, she also has some green flags.

Nothing wrong with only having a couple of friends, if you're comfortable with that.

She said yes.

 

[Yavetill]

Bro really hit her with "why would I do that to myself" stare there lmao

 

[GreenOstriches]

Hmm… is that foreshadowing? Will we finally be getting some progress?

That's a shame, I find her quite interesting myself. I believe her view of relationships is correct; friendship between men and women doesn't exist. Not a genuine friendship anyway. And saying she's done any homewrecking is a bit of a stretch.

At this point I feel us comments are gonna have a deliberation on relationships. But for me I've had a few female friendships which haven't really lead anywhere. Which I also focused on establishing that neither has to be or desires to be in a relationship.
It's "Impossible" because as humans we all have feelings and they make us do irrational things for the sake of justifying what we feel. But while quelling the emotion of love isn't good. Ruining a genuine bond where you can hang and talk casually every now and again is what can keep a friendship going especially if you aren't going to overboard with hanging.

Homewreck is the wrong word to use for the reasons you said. However, I feel like she's trying to forcefully change a relationship she has no part in for her own amusement. That is what I dislike about it. She is purposely trying to both inquire and mess with Rihito's and Noa's relationship which is frustrating to me.

I'm fine as long as she doesn't go into some classic "the central couple of the story is too obvious, so I'm here to messing with them to create false tension" mode like so many romance titles do.

That would be even worse. Thankfully it looks like she's gonna be on side character/wingwoman duty at most.

She is an interesting character, being the confident teaser (complete opposite of Noa). However, I just don't want her to force any changes between the two leads. I enjoy it more when they are learning how to process their relationship from each other. When I called her a home-wrecker, I was trying to get across that I dislike how she's adding friction in the relationship Noa and Rihito has. Not that she's a potential love interest.

Okay, I haven't been convinced until now, but mika is toxic as fuck

 

[knewworld]

This was one of the best chapters in the series so far!

 

[Skater901]

Noa never gets better. XD

Also slight mistake page 16 panel 2. "Is it really that that bad"
