ABORT MISSION ABORT MISSION SETO GTFO NOW

 

[JJUGEND]

Here we go again.

 

[NorseLoki]

She got friends with benefits. Lol

I'm sure Seto will be fine though, she doesn't seem like the type to cause him intentional pain

 

[abdullah17]

Oh no, I wonder how well he will take what she's about to tell him.
My boi is just born to suffer it seems.

 

[K1NGST0N33]

So, now we can guess that she's not a lesbian. But our boy is so doomed to get hurt again...

 

[Quickshot76]

i mean she kinda spittin tho

 

[neoDrain]

ahhh rip my ship T____T

 

[Ichaivalrose]

Good song

Hmm. Interesting. Cafe lady is currently in a relationship of some sort. Could be romantic, or sex friend. Either way, this will most likely conflict with kaedes statement on meeting a "proper lady."

Much like his meeting with the aromantic student, I hope his meeting with cafe lady is one of understanding. Especially since café lady herself truly does seem to be generally a good person.

I do believe her assertion on kaedes feelings not being love are right, personally. IMO MC is looking more for a trustworthy and comfortable woman, but not necessarily someone to love. I could also be wrong and it actually is romantic but... that's my prediction rn.

 

[Nefy224]

Personally, I still think that they can work out. I don't know. Just a feeling.

At this point, I don't really know what will make our boy happy.

 

[syntheretique]

So far the story is not heading into scummy territory. I'm happy.

 

[Mangamoz]

So the new theme is gonna be about Rio's fear of commitment, which seems to be hinted at to be caused by some trauma in her past.

 

[Angoldd]

So Rio has some kind of fuck buddy(ies?), given her past statement about her relationships.

I believe that she was right when she said to Kaede about him not having feelings of love. It's just a combination of a crush and finding someone warm and nice.

 

[matt_94]

Rio's inner monologues are interesting and scaring at the same time. It's like in her heart is not totally discarding a possible romantic relationship with Seto. I hoped for a more straightforward rejection, to be honest. Their sentimental goals seem opposite, or at least too different.

 

[jonnywarlock]

Oh, Rio, noooooo. Please be gentle.

 

[Abunja]

Uh, oh. Black panels and black speech bubbles. I told you, boy. This won't lead to anything good.

 

[Azusu]

she said she didnt love or like anyone nor lf a romantic relationship so why did she naked with some random dude? Why are relationships in this story so toxic??

 

[Nicegot]

no bros don't just start shipping kaede with whatever girls are coming. I just want to see kaede boy overcome his problems

I don't like the author's afterword explaining Momoka's argument. It looks poorly done, and it also looked like Izumi's response of Momoka's argument being valid was sloppily done.

We, the readers, know that Momoka does not know the entire situation.

Asahi and Izumi know that Momoka does not know the entire situation.

Tsubasa knows that Momoka does not know the entire situation.

Momoka herself knows that she does not know the entire situation.

In that context, where Momoka does not follow up with the author's stated retort line of "It's not like that, right?", the most straightforward interpretation is that it's not merely her using a rhetorical formula. She didn't complete the formula. It looks like she's being serious because she doesn't know the full situation.

And it's apparently not just a cultural difference where I am unfamiliar with the Japanese formulaic rhetoric. The author said there were a bunch of comments that the author read, presumably in Japanese.
