R15+ Ja Dame Desuka? - Vol. 6 Ch. 45 - Jealousy

[zHIST]

So both girls like him and now there's this new guy who likes her

I don't think that guy is into Amou, I think he's going to be into both girls and inevitably get rejected

 

[Simien05]

I don't get it, what's happening to the manga? The cover? What's up with that

TL mentioned several times that his/her favorite char is Ena. and her character in the final cover is not even looking to the front (we only see the back of her head). I assume that is a grim reflection of her character arc in later chapter.

 

[Nosebleed]

The last chapter as a whole is really trash, regardless of what or who you liked in this manga. If you like Ena in particular, which I think the scanlators does, she is kicked to the curb so hard it actually hurts.

I was severely disappointed in how the manga ended as well. I don't blame the translator at all for losing motivation, I dropped my rating hard after reading the last chapter myself.

I commend you for sticking with it. I know I wouldn't.

I'll just leave a summary covering everything (that's relevant to the plot) that happens after this chapter here

Spoiler

Volume 6 and 7
This arc, which is the cultural festival arc, is gonna lead into Fuyumine finally confronting his feelings for Akine.
This is also when Akine finally admits she likes Fuyumine (which only happens thanks to the guy in this chapter btw). She then talks to Ena about it and the two become "love rivals". This plot point won't matter ever again because Ena is never relevant again. Take this opportunity to say goodbye to her.
But most importantly, this is also when Senpai confesses to Fuyumine. She even straight up kisses him, and will be the only character to ever kiss him in the manga.

Volume 8-10
This is the last arc of the manga.
After the cultural festival Fuyumine basically dips out of the club because he can't face Senpai after the confession, and it leads to him starting working on a movie with an actual movie agency.
Akine doesn't like that and starts stalking him, which also leads her to get involved with movie making, but with a different crew (it introduces a pivotal actress that will help in the final conflict). This is what leads to her meeting her mom's former agent (who's a well known agency CEO now) which then leads to the mom's past being revealed.

I already wrote a very lengthy comment about the mom's past in the main comment section but a very short TL;DR is that the mom was an actress and was betrayed by her agency (as was her best friend) and that's why she left. There's a lot to it but I don't want to make this comment 10 paragraphs long. The bulk of volume 8 and the start of 9 is this flashback, just to give you a sense of scale.

Back in the present, Fuyumine is pissed that the CEO revealed all this to Akine when the mom tried so hard to protect this secret, so he punches him in the face. This leads to the actual final conflict, which is Fuyumine getting barred from the movie industry (thanks to punching this famous CEO).
In the midst of this arc there is a side quest where Fuyumine also rejects Senpai btw.

TL;DR for the final conflict is that Fuyumine teams up with the guys he was helping make a movie with to bring down the CEO, the mom also shows up and reveals this whole time she's been working to set up an agency that doesn't exploit its employees (especially women, as this is something that happened with her in her past). They hire all the major staff the CEO had and he's now powerless, so Fuyumine can work in the movie industry again.

Final chapter
Oh, you thought there was something after that last big arc? NOPE! Multiple year time skip!
All we see in this time skip is where the characters ended up, we don't know how they got there.
Fuyumine is now a movie editor. He is dating Akine (no we didn't see them confessing or getting together)
Ena is working at a bar and is friends with Umeki again.
Senpai is a horror novelist.
Akine is an actress. The chapter ends with her giving an interview where she drops the title of the manga in the last page.
That's right, the main couple of the manga isn't even in the same room for a single frame in the last chapter.

Basically the manga set up a ton of subplots only to give us a timeskip where nothing is explained, we just see where everyone ended up. We didn't even get a confession, let alone a kiss (which Senpai, a losing heroine, got!), and Ena literally never shows up again until the timeskip, which is probably why the scanlator is (understandably) upset.

It sucks because the arcs themselves aren't boring and don't feel pointless while you're reading them, but then it abruptly cuts to a timeskip where nothing is answered so you're just left wondering what was the point of all that.

 

[Silfir]

The way this conversation went, I was almost expecting Fuyumine to point out he really sucks at talking to guys, too, so he's got bigger things to worry about than the girl he likes.

thank you, i was already not rating this series too highly but i certainly don't wanna continue reading it with how terribly executed the rest of the manga is.

i believe that a shit ending ruins the entire series, no matter how good it was up until that point. and the last chapter truly sounds atrocious, i'm glad you saved me time AND frustration.

classic japanese artist thing to do. i assume they got a little heat from vocal unhappy fans and immediately wanted to disappear? they're almost all like this, they get like 2 mean messages and freak out. ignoring all the happy fans, or the fans who were unhappy but were mature enough to not be mean about it and who were looking forward to the artist's future works, they just masochistically focus on whatever vocal minority makes them feel the worst. the only artists who stick with it despite criticism are the old, offline ones, and some of the fetish artists who knew they were going to get criticism going into it (think maidragon author)

Hey big props for giving us the spoiler. Anyone have any idea why the author crashed out so hard like this? Is it axed or is something happening to the author? I also see someone commenting the artist deleting their pixiv. Anyone knows what's actually happening here?

The afterword in the last chapter (I wish I had access to it again so I could translate it but I'll have to pull from memory) kinda told me that, first and foremost, the author wanted to write a kind of love letter to the movie industry and movie making in general. This explains why that becomes an ever increasing focus, and why the character subplots become more secondary. It's just a shame that they couldn't wrap it up in a nice package that blended both. The ideas were there, the execution wasn't. Kinda felt like it shouldn't have been a romcom if this was the intention.
