Osananajimi wo Erabenai! - Ch. 16 - I Love You

[Teasday]

No explicit statement in the magazine that the next chapter's final, but yeah. Gonna miss scanlating this one either way.

 

[ZukDragonic]

Such great potential... So sad to see it go
It would've been a great ending as well (as obvious as it may be) if it had the proper build up.

 

[shae_]

So the next chapters likely the last? Unless its to signal the end of the current arc, which is best case scenario.

 

[Ashez42]

Damn, sucks that this seemingly got axed

 

[Alteraucous]

I mean we could've done this like 100 Gfs and go through every single personality trait that Karin could have, but we got what we got. It sucks that it is axed but I'm glad what we got.

 

[razorshaleh]

finally, their honest confession of love

thank you for translating

 

[Reizor]

Thank you tea

 

[Jatopian]

But what happens when he misses one of the individual fragments he got to know? Does it go the Pseudo Harem route?

 

[Dramamine]

Ah man, would've loved a 100 Kanojo approach with all her personalities. Fun while it lasted, and I suppose it's better than it possibly overstaying its welcome someday.


Enjoyed this one a fair bit.

 

[HyperSonic0509]

it's great that you made karin accept herself yuu

but

you did just confess to a child

 

[andrespeg]

Furokawa tsukasa will always be my favorite mangaka, even if his stories are short. His artstyle is so cute

 

[tuatara1]

With this author, I don't think there was ever a chance of this taking the 100 Girlfriends approach. I always assumed that merging the Karins would be the endgame. I do wish it had lasted longer than this though.

 

[Laxtir]

I mean the ending is fast but they are making it make sense , still sad that it didn't go for longer.

 

[Renan_Walheim]

Mangaka-san breaking the 4th wall with the talismans again
Gonna miss this series.

 

[jackjack9]

One of the best love confessions I've seen.

I don't want to say goodbye to Yuu. I want this manga to continue.

 

[UdenEmpati]

Also - if this went 100 Kanojo, then we'd just have a ripoff of 100 Kanojo.

It sucks this got axed, but I'm happy with what we've been given. And Yuu did well, from start to finish, so.

Thanks for the TL work. Thank you for bringing us this series, and I'm grateful for what we got.

Im 50/50 about her "lotsa people in my hear" being metaphorical for self doubt, or if this just became a multiple personality disorder awareness manga.

 

[2662]

it's great that you made karin accept herself yuu

but

Lol i think thats another reason why the author made him in his kid form too when he says it. Aside from the symbolism or wtv of him finally saying what he wanted to as a kid

 

[UdenEmpati]

Im 50/50 about her "lotsa people in my hear" being metaphorical for self doubt, or if this just became a multiple personality disorder awareness manga.

It's the former, almost certainly. Nothing else about this title speaks to mental health, including the resolution we've been given. Even axed, I'd expect some more-explicit indicator of mental stuff was the aim by the mangaka.

People of all stripes have all manner of sides to them, and more so during puberty when trying to "find themselves / determine their identity".

This was a title that explored that literally by taking those facets of Karin and manifesting them as individual people via Shrine Magic.

And Karin hating herself, was due to her being alone without her best friend in a strange new place, dealing with anxiety and uncertainty, and all the expectations and pressures of adolescence in school pushed her to spiraling until her Wish manifested and she fractured before seeking out Yuu to fulfill his side of the wish, and the events of the manga play out.


**I'll edit to add on that - it is dealing with mental health, but the kind that probably almost everyone who goes through puberty goes through - the social & developmental stressors and events that coincide with that part of life. But I'm very, very confident that it's not dealing with the type of mental health that involves psychiatric assessments and intensive medical intervention.
