Guys, remember-if you ever visit this mountain, avoid Dangerous Guys. Also, the gigantic Author, and the terrifying Hawa.

Ena really did have a great turnaround. Author did a great job giving her such a bad first impression only to make her easy to like and root for.
I still don't like Ena, not after what happened in this chapter. She basically pulled one of the least likeable stunts that drama character can: she manipulated Akine to actually help her in getting closed to Fuyumine. She absolutely understands Fuyumine is important also for Akine, but she also sees Akine is even more naive than she is herself, so it wasn't that difficult to undermine Akine. Not only she's forcing Akine to help her, a rival, but she's now also making Akine feel like that if she as well wants to approach Fuyumine, she would somehow be betraying Ena's trust. It's such a vile trick sometimes seen in drama.

Poor translator-san, getting his fave absolutely demolished ever since she appeared. :meguuusad:

To be honest, though, between the zoomer-'tism and the apathetic personality, she was quite annoying when introduced. She was always cute, but unlike what popular degenerate culture says, it's not ok because she's cute. She really developed a lot since her debut.

To be truly honest, I still think Ena would do better as a pet or daughter than as a lover. :dogkek:

You’re 100% reading into this in a way completely unsupported by the text. Ena has not been shown to have any idea Akine is interested in him that way. You’re projecting, hard.

I can respect your differing opinion, but what the heck am I projecting here?

Ena suddenly started to talk about it to Akine. Why? There wasn't any particular need. She then asked for her help, to advance her own romance. She has spent a lot of time in the movie club now and has been able to observe the people there, naturally. With how much she respects Fuyumine, her default opinion should be that others respect him as well. Logically she should view the others her potential rivals, not as allies, in that particular thing. With her history of a friendless loner, what exactly pushed her into seeking Akine's cooperation? It was the natural instinct to make sure Akine won't compete with her, boosted by Ena's own low self-esteem, which make her trust less in her chances.

You said it herself, she was a friendless loner. It likely never occurred to her for a second that Akine would also be into Fuyumine because any hints would be too subtle for her to pick up on. She genuinely thinks Akine is her friend, so she’s asking a friend to help her, trusting if there’s an issue she’ll say something. This is the same girlfailure who didn’t realize she was being sexually exploited by that kid from the club. She understood that she didn’t want to appear naked, but she didn’t realize his motives were dubious. She’s pretty socially inept.

You’re reading malice into ignorance. I have no doubt that if Fuyumine spoke up and said something she would feel awful about asking her but the problem is Ena is a straight shooter and Fuyumine is still overthinking things. It’s not a scheme to eliminate a rival because the idea of viewing a friend as a romantic rival hasn’t even crossed the poor girl’s head.

I'm not so sure of her innocence in ignorance. Her introduction was pretty nasty. She lied to the film club, including the film club advisor about her reasons to get a short film script. She told them the video club's screenwriter quit and the others in the club just couldn't come up with a worthy script. She did nothing but lie very fluently, roping in the teacher and used the film club's predicament to her advantage. Even if you considered that just fine, though I don't know why, she was even rude and insenstive enough to tell the film club she has no interest in movies, she just wants them to make the script for her.

How is that a person incapable of manipulating Akine? You might have already forgotten why the readers disliked Ena in the beginning.

Man, long gone is the brainrot girl... Her redemption arc is so fucking good.
She's just a cute little thing getting Ws after Ws.
Thanks for the chapter!
