Sensitive Boy - Ch. 75 - Mahiro and Kobayashi

[pink_rabbit]

I CALLED IT OUT ON THE HOMOPHOBICA! FUCKING CALLED IT! Like he's not homophobic but he DID say a homophobic line in saying about how she's in an all girl's school + doesn't know true love

Here comes the question, are any of the two friends homophones? Probably not, but we will have to dance around the question

Kaede is a good boy. He might be accepting of it.

 

[Senros]

I wish for boyfriend letting go of the hand and panicking and Asahi grabbing his hand and telling: "He's my boyfriend."
Please, have something go well for once

Kobayashi was planning two steps ahead, just in the wrong direction lol
She was already pissed at you, so why would you go and say, "Oh, you are wrong. You are not a lesbian. You just haven't been with a guy~"? There's a negative chance anyone hearing that would be like, "Oh, you are actually right." and have their anger fizzle out.

Even if he started with something like, "Maybe if you and Asahi got together, you would see it in a different way. You could give it a try." it still wouldn't work. She would go, "ASAHI HAS A BOYFRIEND!!!" and shock him even more.

Oh well, I do wonder how things will end up for Mahiro. I don't know if Hina will look her way at some point, and Hina looks like someone who wants to always have a partner. That's the feeling she gives me. So I can't imagine things ending well for Mahiro

someone with that burning trash heap of a manga as their profile pic has no right to be calling this a bad arc lol

What manga is that BTW cause I can't see the character that well.

One was raped by a woman, the other has just left a toxic relationship. I'm pretty sure they'll be very accepting.

Nuh uh. This arc is beyond garbage. Yall can cry about the manga on my profile all day but it's still interesting. And a lot of people are quick to check whenever new chapter drops. This arc tho, lmaooooooo. Assssssssss.

Thats Yami from "Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi o Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita"

"It’s a little late, but I’ve fallen in love with my childhood friend."

I'm glad I was wrong. I'm curious then what the author was foreshadowing with the "He probably isn't a good boyfriend" line. Is it this? That bro is simultaneously emotionally intelligent but also stupid?

I think people were reading too much into that. He didn't want to shit on his friend completely but was also trying to make Mahiru feel better about the situation so he gave a rather half hearted answer of "he's fine, but I don't think he's good boyfriend material". Basically placating her with something she wanted to hear and from her response she likely knew that's what he was doing which is why she appreciated his answer.

I was also one of the people who thought he was a bit sketch but while I didn't think he was malicious I did think he was going to figure out Mahiru was a lesbian and say something that would be problematic and I was kind of right on that one. He said something stupid but even he acknowledges that it was tone deaf and ignorant and realizes he fucked up pretty badly. Not sure where her story is going to go from here, but I could see him slipping up and somehow leaking the info to Hina or some other shenanigan that causes them to have to actually confront the situation so Mahiru gets closure.

clearly talking about how people have interpreted her feelings, its pretty obvious

 

[Powerless]

The worst arc yet. End it already, I'm getting tired of it.

my guy have you seen your pfp...begone

I don't believe they'd be homophobic but they may act or say something insensitive. Or they may front, lots of teenage boys aren't truly homophobic but rather in a phase or acting tough and the same might happen here.

 

[LordofAlI]

Damn dude thought he was just going to have a small talk and maybe ship her with Asahi but then messed up and received her full crash out. He's not a bad guy just said the wrong thing insensitively. Hopefully he gets a chance to apologize or something later? idk what he's going to do in this situation though besides making it worse somehow right now.

Then we got Asahi caught holding hands with his Bf. I don't think Asahi nor his friends will have a problem I hope? Not everything's gotta go badly right?...well I could see the Bf panicking and letting go though and then maybe something?

also see some people talking about this line "He probably isn't a good boyfriend" what are they talking about? wasn't it just he's a good friend but idk if he'll be a good bf. i don't see how that could be foreshadowing as a bad bf. Maybe we read a different translation?

These two lines should probably have quotation marks around them.

Thanks for the hard work starr. I'm really glad to see this again.

 

[dcdfvr]

oh so he's not a dick trying to mess with her. he's just a straight up idiot who has no tact and assumed things

 

[Doomroar]

Kobayashi doesn't knows it, but this was the better outcome since Asashi is dealing with his own drama

 

[JackWasGone]

Look I understand where he's coming from but that was the WORST delivery I've ever seen when tryna be a wingman. Major flag on the play

Now I get it, She has ever right to tweak out on him but can I blame him for his insensitive comment? No. I'll tell you why

7%-9% of the world is LGBT, which means 91%-93% of the world is Straight ergo most people are gon a auto-default to thinking the person they're talking to is Straight also. Unless you can physically tell theyre LGBT then its impossible to tell without asking.

I dont blame him for saying that since he doesnt have prior info on who she likes (We do but he doesnt) nor do I blame him for tryna set her up with another guy but man that comment bombed so badly dude.

He's not a bad guy, clearly it shows he cares for his girl and her friend but fuck man this guy is stupid, good heart tho

Even if he started with something like, "Maybe if you and Asahi got together, you would see it in a different way. You could give it a try." it still wouldn't work. She would go, "ASAHI HAS A BOYFRIEND!!!" and shock him even more.

i mean it'd be pretty messed up to just 'out' someone but i don't think mahiro would even in the heat of the moment (tho she did text asahi 'you can tell him i'm a lesbian' when the bf saw asahi and her waiting outside that other week [tho depending on how well he knows him i'd think he'd know asahi has a reputation of his relationships not lasting long lol])

 

[cybeast21]

He wasn't a bad kid, he just lacking too much in knowledge and it ends up hurting her...

I wonder if those hands are gonna separate next chapter?

Also hand holding? Highschooler sure is bold at doing lewd things at public!

 

[Ulthair]

So he wasn't a jerk, at least not intentionally. But now we get to find out a bit more about his character...

Is he going to keep Mahiro's secret? Or will he out her to Hina?

 

[NeverAnother]

They are literally his friends, there is no issue with this chapter transition lol

 

[Entity_K]

Ok, he wasn't such a bad guy after all, a bit insensitive but he's a kid still. Thought he looked way too snide to be sincere in the last chap, read too much into it.

I said this before in a previous chapter, can't expect a highschooler handle this sensitive topic that school barely educate them, let alone their parents.
