Seishun no After - Vol. 3 Ch. 17 - Alignment of Hope

[Mangamoz]

Garden Alien Mask route averted.

 

[Guralub]

I really hope he doesn't destroy his relationship with Miiko, she doesn't deserve that.

 

[wanfai]

Man this is rough. No obvious route forward as far as story goes for both good and bad reasons. Thanks for TL~

 

[LordofLeechers]

Playing with fire. You may think they are extinguished, but there will always be embers from old flames.

 

[yesayaaa]

Surely nothing bad will happen if you run from your problems instead of facing them properly

 

[titodacat]

Yo someone got the cliff notes or something I'm incredibly lost

Yeah, there's no easy way forward. I know the majority people want miiko to be the one that MC ends up with but honestly as long as it's well written, I'm fine if he ends with either girl. Both have good reasons to be the one with MC at this point.

Considering this writer's other works I think we're getting off significantly light so far

It's a feint. The moment we let our guard down is when they drop the depravity bomb.

Then Boom - Ovipositors

 

[Kurbo]

This is so fucked, he's so fucked, he's a broken person, the most important human connection that he made during his adolescence yelled to the high heavens that she didn't love him, and that would've hurt but not broken him, but she just fucking disappeared without a single trace, and then just as suddenly she fucking reappears cut and pasted from that moment in time, I hope for the best for him but I don't know if he'll be able to get out of this scenario without screwing over someone royally and hurting them deeply.

 

[silverpetricof]

It seems MC is trying and (possibly?) succeeding in moving on from the past. Something tells me he'll relapse before long, but for now I'll commend him for the time being.

Thank you for the translation.

and she's literally left holding the bag

well, it's the correct course of action.
but if this dude weren't so broken, he and his fiancée could have been something like adoptive parents for sakura. That would be the normal scenario I think. sakura and miiko are cute together, so it would have been very nice that way

 

[calvintanuki]

The worst part is that he was fighting with his feelings for her for 20 years... It's not something easy, that you could just throw in the garbage after she appear again in front of you.

It sucks but it's it.

Man. That really is what I want for these characters. I agree the girls got along. And Sakura needs someone to care for her. Her situation is incredibly fragile

 

[WJ_PK]

Too much damage. It's either or at this point. Platonic love... Is probably impossible at this point for him when it comes to Sakura. The temptation is always there.

 

[SpecialProjectY]

Hope the Flat Makoto doesn't make a comeback...

I get a feeling that Makoto is a controlling and person who likes to manipulate people, to make them dependent on him so they cannot be free to do anything. Something he gained by being with Umeko... It certainly felt that way from this chapter.

Well, at least he chosen right, Miiko is happy about it and Sakura got the message right he is getting married. Right? Right?!?
