[Mangamoz]

Shunsuke is a doormat in human form.

 

[anideki]

huh, now what bud?

 

[lesseffective]

On we on track for an unsurreptitious ending then?

I am glad that he was able to talk about it properly, and not keep it in in a continuously indecisive manner.

What's the point of falling in love with other girls when you already have a woman like Hinaki beside you? I don't get it.

Boy, you should overcome your puberty soon to realize you are blessed.

I wanna see where the author wants to take this, I'd be kind of disappointed if the story wants to transform friendship between them into romance

Exactly, I was afraid at the start that the friendship will not stay as a friendship (even if I knew that the author has opinions that are pretty aligned with mine), but this chapter comforted me. I want to read about juggling between your romantic and friendly relationships.

I dont think hinaki will ever want to be his gf tho

 

[Jackist]

That ending doesn't match her character at all. We have 30+ issues of "I only care about myself" where she forces her ideals on everyone around her. She pretends to be peoples friends just to get close and get the "Scoop" on her love life.

"I give you permission to be selfish" of course she phrases it like that. Now take that permission and run as far and fast as you can before she changes her mind.

This seems like a non issue for a well adjusted individual. Unfortunately none of them are.

In the end, childhood friend is just a childhood friend, true love will appear.
Unless...

i mean, you can't really call teens "well-adjusted". maybe some are almost well-adjusted, but never fully because of all the hormones and shit.

Thanks for the TL. I feel like this series isn't gonna go anywhere, but we shall see.

You know, if this really is the angle the mangaka was going for, they did a pretty poor job of communicating it. Or it's somehow lost in translation. By that I mean Hinaki really only seeing him as a best friend and not developing feelings. If it really is the angle, I think it's original and very interesting. The sheer fact he straight up told her of this dilemma is already something I don't think I've seen before in this sort of work - someone telling their best friend they're scared they'll drift apart if he gets a partner.

I think it's maybe conditioning from manga in general and how if you got a male and a female character who are close, they nearly always develop feelings. I think it's partially because boys and girls don't tend to become besties in HS, since it's usually gendered circles. Readers are just so used to this nonsense that people will naturally fall for each other rather than staying friends that it becomes difficult for a mangaka to make it clear this is not happening while not being too upfront to the point it ruins suspension of disbelief.


This manga continues to elude me in how it might be really good but at the same time isn't. Like the author is walking a tight rope between everything being really well characterized and the exact opposite with characters not being clear to the audience.

Thought from everything so far, I now personally lean on the later and just think the author has big issues communicating their character intentions to the reader. Makes it too easy to insert our own best case scenario and bet set up for disappointment.

Hopefully they realize that’s it shouldn’t be that hard to have a romantic relationship and also maintain your current friendships. In fact, if you can’t do that, it could be a sign that one of those relationships is not healthy (or you are just dumb).

 

[BobBob]

Hinaki gave Shunsuke her acceptance and even said that love wouldn't change him; that's quite the change from before.
