So this is where Chiharu’s feelings for MC first started. MC keeps accidentally rizzing her up without even realizing it because he’s so dense Even MC’s little sister is way more aware of what’s going on than the MC himself.

thank you for translation

Time for sister to be wingwoman!

 

[AllTheMistakes]

I'm so glad it was actually a thought-out reason for her liking him instead of just the usual cheap reasoning like MC picked up her dropped books one time years ago or something.

Thanks for the TL!

It's one of these weird things with Japan, how they always strive to mix the story up to make it fresh, but instead, they have just deployed one of the age-old tropes of retrospectively telling the origin story later on. To be honest, we didn't need this for storytelling purposes. It has put the brakes on the main story to simply go back and dot some I's and cross some t's. To take a whole chapter to circle 'round to tell this, is just so Japanese...

Somehow i didn' realize it is a backstory, seems like i didn't focus on last chapter

"In Media res" is a pretty common technique for any story. If this was Chapter 1, the introduction of the actual "unique pull" of the story, the "lovers in the dreamworld" gimmick, wouldn't be properly shown until Chapter 2...at which point your target and potential audience (those who would have liked the gimmick) may move on, and your actual audience (those who stuck around for this first "prologue" chapter) may themselves become split on those who do/don't like the gimmick since their expectations of the story have formed (from the one chapter they've read, but it's all they have at the time).

Goddamn that backstory was something alright huh we got to see how the two met too aww, hope the sister starts helping as a wing woman for both her brother and HER FUTURE SISTER-IN-LAW

No, I agree about the hook/USP, I just think that a whole chapter to fill in the blanks breaks the flow. The pertinent facts could have been covered in much less detail and spread out, or do what a lot of TV shows do and do the origin story at the end of a story arc. But to drop it in the middle of the story is not good practice.
