Now That We Draw - Ch. 37 - I also...

[biologist]

Childhood friend, tanned, short hair...

It's a triple threat losing heroine.

She doesn't stand a chance.

I just realize that she is the combination of the three main girls from too many losing heroines what the heck!?

 

[Friendly-Sentence710]

The expressions are so frigging great.

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Erbakhan]

What's the point of this if she's just going to lose...

You cannot win if you don't know you are playing.

Marry Miyamoto, adopt Ren-chan problem solved.

Matters are escalating quickly.

there he is drowning, and here i am dying of thirst

 

[thebluchicken_4]

Couldn't feed him, couldn't hold his hands, but could could lick his fingers like that? Okay.

 

[MiguelH224]

great, another gyaru romcom where i want the throuple ending, but this time it's a much more clearly defined love triangle... the world is so cruel...

Funny enough ik the exact manga you're referencing here, very good read

 

[SamuelPapprill]

Is it just an unspoken rule in manga that those types of heroines always have to lose? Because I think I've yet to see one win even once.

And that kinda sucks

Idk about those types of heroines but 90% of the time, the first girl in a harem is the one to win. Unless they go all in on the harem aspect like 100 girlfriends, a couple of cuckoos or Quintessential Quintuplets.

I guess

Miyamoto would be the type to be excited for a love rival, huh?

Though since he's a defeatist that's convinced himself he's too far out of either of their leagues, it really comes to who can woman up first and confess, huh?

Edit: wait is that "the penpen clock doesn't work even with new batteries" some incredibly obvious foreshadowing or am I overthinking it

Edit 2: may as well just use spoiler tags. I think it's more or less foreshadowing a Koi-chan loss, at least as she is. The penpen clock doesn't work anymore, even with new batteries. It's stuck in the past. Their only real bond is with penpen, as Uehara shares the mangaka dream with Miyamoto as the two of them navigate having to become mangaka in the first place, as well as the strong support they've shown eachother that makes them both stronger as both mangaka and people, versus merely helping Koi-chan, who already has achieved that dream. Miyamoto also drags him around to all sorts of new experiences and places he'd never have gone himself, that I feel Koi-chan wouldn't take him to since they're both so introverted. Unless she can strongly bond with him in a similar way to his bond with Miyamoto, just penpen won't be enough, and the past is the past. If Koi-chan doesn't bow out, it feels like a race to see if she can charm him the same way before Miyamoto can overcome her preconceived notions of both of their ideal partners. Though they both probably have an uphill battle since his insecurities on how he's perceived when out and about with either of them are on full display again... ultimately, though, I think it's still Miyamoto's win, given how much he's improved himself with her help and encouragement. That's how I'm interpreting it, at least.

THROUPLE THROUPLE THROUPLE THROUPLE

best guess, it’s a sign that the relationship won’t progress between the two of them, much like time won’t move forward in the PenPen clock

Heh, I was editing my own thoughts into it and you basically feel the same way I do.

"You're a great detective....". "Anyone would've got it."

Sheeeeit, you seen some of these other rom com protags and love candidates? A lot of them together have the combined IQ of a tumbleweed, and I've already seen one of those find love too so it's real bad out there.

Argh..... This chapter tears me apart. I know how this works, I KNOW who is on the cover of this manga but damnit the good stuff always makes good childhood friends who I want to have a good ending. This is gonna be rough but at least there's gonna be some good fluff pieces outta it.

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Takuma_Aki]

The thing is that Nina literally said to mc that he wasn’t her type to his face, this plus the fact that she’s erasing every progress she makes herself by backpedaling everytime, I’d say cf has better chances of winning here
Thanks for the translation

But you know, the trope said the lighter the hair...

Oh shit...
