Osoraku Kanojo wa Ore no Aniki wo Neratteru - Ch. 17

[Picks]

See commenters? Take my advice. Don't let fear dictate your path. Get over your "trauma" and start winning.
Yeah, you're gonna get burned some times, but you can't pass up good things because of fear. That's weak.
Like I said: Life is risk.
Also, don't let people around you coddle you into dwelling in your past.
Cue Tubthumping

Edit;

I can already see it.

Hojo wanting to do something special for Youta, so she goes to the person most likely to know him best.

Youta sees Hojo hanging around Reiya all happy smiles (prolly because she's talking and learning about Youta), gets the wrong idea, and gets crushed.

Yeah, I hope author doesn't go this route.
Hasn't been any cheap drama yet (that I can remember off the top of my head), so no reason to think it'd be injected here.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if it did happen - we've seen bigger flubs in manga.

I don't fault him for thinking the way he does and if it weren't for his Chad friends something terrible probably would've happened by now.

tbh i always find those girls a dumbass since chapter 1, like for me if you're going to aim for my older bro JUST TALK TO HIM IDGAF like if you are going to exploit me to get information of my older bro, just... why??? like sure you know what he is when he's home but, so? what then, i mean if you are going to confess to him you would have NO CHANCE because you just broke his sweet little bro's heart. So i always finds them like an idiot, especially if the older brother is like Rei.

One shot, two hits, they can start a relationship with a future brother-in-law and family by starting to befriend him. Even if the final target, the brother, isn't interested yet, being friends with the brother will give them more opportunities in the long run.

thanks for the chapter!

I feel so bad for the MC, it almost makes me cry seeing him so distrustful...

 

[Dityourbae]

I understand why he's like that. Trauma is hard to heal. That's why you need people who are kind and understanding. He has good friends around him. And you will recover faster from trauma.

 

[JagdPanther]

Ah. His line icon is a pineapple. From her pov it's upside down meaning he wants to hook up.

Okay, someone got to that before I did. I was going to point that out, too. lol

Also, are we really not talking about the yaoi angle here...?

LETS GOO

I'm so glad he made the jump.
It's really not easy to break out of this when you've been deceived every time after giving your trust to someone. So you just lock yourself to not be hurt again.
But he made a great introspection and remembering that Hojou is not the same as others girls. I like how he's uneasy but willing to try again because of her. Nothing worst the miss happiness because of your fear. this leap of faith

Thanks for the tl

She's not acting consciously toward him I thought all her actions were with the intention of winning him over

absolute cinema

 

[Magnus_Prime]

Your concern is completely justified, son. She may not be like all the others, but you still need to protect your heart.

 

[Ryuga05]

Yes, houjou is healing our boii. tis be somewhat of a big leap. Hope it stays like that for a long while. 😌

 

[windfang]

The girls DO talk to the older brother, but it's like trying to get an idol's attention at a concert; he's always surrounded by tons of clamouring girls. They try to go through Youta as a way of getting around that nigh-impenetrable defense, but are so single-minded that they don't really think about the consequences any.

Thank you for the release

Eh, I mean, it sucks that girls only come to him for the sole purpose of getting close to his brother but surely it only amounts to small annoyances. Why are you sulking when they pay attention to your brother, do you also want to be popular with the girls? Kinda shallow and immature, but I guess it’s spot on for his age
