This is just a standard romcom chapter now. If one jumped into this chapter without reading any of the others that came before, they'd be bamboozled into thinking this was just a run-of-the-mill normal harem romcom...
I was actually reading this chapter with some incredulity, because by the way Yukito interacted with everyone it seemed like whatever happened to him in the past was just some fever dream of mine. Was I really still reading the same manga as before? Did he forgive them all offscreen? (no, don't answer this; it's a rhetorical question)
His light-hearted comedic scenes casually
included the girls who hurt and betrayed him, to the degree that he was even the one who approached Kamishiro saying he was...
concerned about her. Really? I'm flabbergasted, he actually still cared about her?
Yukito's face and eyes keep saying "I'm dead inside" but his goofy words and actions are betraying his facial expressions. I don't know if I should be impressed that he's functioning incredibly well for someone supposedly broken by his past, cracking jokes together with cheerfully laughing friends, classmates and
enemies frenemies(?)
Traumatic past aside I'm starting to feel like he's a younger, male version of Femme Fatale from
Heisei Haizanhei ☆ Sumire-chan who has the same deadpan face and dead fish eyes, but also acts a lot goofier than one might expect.
Since novel readers apparently love replying to me with spoilers that I didn't ask for, I'll just say it again: don't waste your time; I won't read any of it.
