So let me get this straight.
The story starts with Jin's experience in a school of animal people. He used to have a strong passion for animals and has a near encyclopedic knowledge of them, but because he got beat up by bears while trying to protect a beastgirl when he was younger he did a 180. He doesn't care or see interracial relationships as inherently negative as he's helped the Lion with his love interest, he just personally doesn't want to be in one.
There's only one human girl in the entire school, and lucky for him, she's a kind and caring person with no real personality flaws. Her emotional intelligence even helps bring together the group he was pulled into so not only is his opinion of her high, he thinks he likes her in that way. On meeting her he says, "Thank goodness I'm human" cause he values her personality and demeanor over his humanity.
He confesses and gets rejected.
Turns out she's a lesbian.
... I honestly feel really bad for Jin... and I don't even like him as a character (I don't hate him either, and if you do go reread chapter 1)
======================
I guess the mangaka really wants Lanca to get in a relationship with Jin and realized that's only possible if Jin has no other real options, because of how much he's written himself into a corner with Lanca's character. She barely shows up in recent chapters for good reason.
He's really not very good with keeping to his themes. Yena's whole character trajectory was self-acceptance and now Hitomi's basically treating her like a man when she had accepted herself as a woman, so her whole character is incongruous. Hitomi's original reason for rejecting Jin was that she felt like he was only confessing to her out of obligation because they're both human when he really loved Lanca. Not only is that outright preposterous, as he says to her face that he likes her for her personality, but her character has actually regressed since that time.
Jin could be better though. He's way too venomous towards the people he sees every day but I can sort of get it. If he's not like that they'll roll over him,
but hey it's not like any of this matters. If 98.5's any indication, Jin's a cuck so the person he's pursuing getting with someone else is his endgoal anyway.
...
Well, I'm mostly here for the comedy anyway. Sadly the manga hasn't really made me laugh since the masochist panda arc, and that was forever ago.

nah i wouldnt say yena and her are going to be in a relationship, i think that was more of a trolololol moment where the author really wanted to make a highschool girl say "penis" in front of a large croud

@TitanAnteus How does ch 98.5 indicate that Jin is a cuck? He ignored the part where the vampire girl mentioned Yena and was fantasizing about Hitomi touching herself to thoughts about him.
Plus in this chapter he clearly got mad at the idea of Hitomi and Yena being a thing.

So many salty children finally realizing that Jin x Hitomi is not happening. If only you read more than a few chapters you'd realize that it was obvious from the very beginning. Hitomi, when interacting with Jin, has never been anything more than a fanservice character with little to no personality, there has been zero actual development between those two, neither romantic, nor personality wise. The only chapters where Hitomi acts as anything more than a boob-girl is when she's far away from Jin, and arcs like this one are good for her.
@zok7404 **** off buddy, wishing a death on someone because your ship was never going to happen? You are an incredibly sad and pathetic individual.

@banjomarx
I disagree. Yena is objectively in love with Hitomi and Hitomi's more willing to give her a chance than any other character so far, so I think it's quite likely. But hey that's just my opinion and I respect yours as well.
Honestly, even if it doesn't become a thing, these arcs have lowered my opinion of everyone in them. Jin was fine with it. Just got a nosebleed. No anger, jealousy (which is what he originally felt when Yena was introduced) or nothing so he's a cuck and no matter how many good/bad things he's done in the past, my opinion of him now is at its lowest it's ever been.
My opinion of Hitomi is at it's lowest, her way of supporting her friend was awful and she hasn't been good emotional support since before the mountain climbing arc. It's like the author's purposefully making her character more shallow and one-dimensional as the story goes on. She's the one who started the cooking club you know. This Hitomi is completely different from early Hitomi.
My opinion of Lanca is at its lowest. She was endearing, naive and sincere when she was introduced but as the chapter goes on she's not there for her "packmates" when they need her she's not taking an active role in the lives of the people around her and she's still technically a loner. Has she even had friendly conversations with the other characters without Jin around. There's still room for her to improve as a character, but nothing is happening so she keeps disappointing.
The bat's pretty interesting though. Maybe it's just the novelty of her character making me curious about the different jokes they can pull out of her though...
Well... I do appreciate /anonymous/ for translating it though... For some reason all the manga I actually like are super slow in updating so I checked back in on this one and caught up. I guess I put it on the backburner for good reason though.
@Viruth
I disagree that Hitomi and Jin's interactions have been fanservice with little to no personality. Initial interactions with her led to the creation of the cooking club, and her meddling with him and Lanca had them come to a better understanding of each other. Even her digging into his trauma in the early chapters was an interesting dynamic.
Hitomi has interacted with Yena in the same way as she's interacted with the rest of the characters. Personally, I feel if you think she's boring with no personality with Jin it's the same with her interactions with other characters.
But I do agree that it's likely that Hitomi's written out of the equation so the author can make Jin go with Lanca in some random plot contrivance since he's messed up that plotline so badly.
@Zen44
Dude's a cuck man... You're getting weirdly defensive with that pretend talk or whatever.
Don't self-insert man. Especially not with a cuck. That wont end well for you.

It's not really a harem. It's more like a love triangle. Jin likes Hitomi because she's the only human female around. Hitomi kinda likes Jin, but thinks he likes Lanka. Lanka obviously loves Jin and wants to have his puppies, but he isn't interested (or is he?!?!?!?!). MeiMei is the only other character that has feelings for Jin, but that's because she's a HUGE M and Jin is the only person on the planet that is mean to her.

@TitanAnteus How am I getting defensive when I pointed out that you used the term cuck wrong? A cuck wouldn't get pissed at the idea of someone taking his girl.

Actually in chapter 1, Jin says he was thankful he was born human.
He doesn't like Hitomi cause she's human. He likes Hitomi because she's Hitomi.
He didn't like the neanderthal character when she was introduced even though he saw her as human too.
I agree it's not a harem, but Hitomi has three people pining for her now, though i really hope Jin moves on... Three or more romantic candidates is a harem after all.
@Zen44
I guess I interpreted page 8 differently. Thought he was angry at Yena for making Hitomi say strange shit like that. Next panel, he says don't drag her into your stupid fights so I can't really see it any other way. But again it's not like this is the first time Hitomi got close to another person romantically and he was fine with it, so yeah I'm pretty sure the dude's a cuck.

I'm not upset at the cucking, since Jin is also cucking Hitomi, but I am upset that Yena gets so much screen time compared to other side characters. Why not bring back Chloe, who has been AWOL for over 50 chapters? Why not bring back Pan, or the Giraffe, or the Aye-Aye, or King and his buttslut, or the Kangaro-- wait, scratch that last one --?
Yena feels like a pack member, but she only has a dynamic with two of the characters, one being an intense rivalry with Jin, and the other being her love interest. She's also incredibly one note. Meanwhile, Chii, who has been around for all of 20 chapters, has an interesting dynamic with Jin, Meimei, and Hitomi, and is an interesting character that's still developing, not a stagnant one-joke character.

Sooo, why does this whole arc feels like the bad guys won...
IIRC, the aardwolf wanted to be more manly and when he went for Yena's help, all she did was complain and run away. Then the Yaks came and offered him their help, albeit somewhat extreme, while telling Yena fuck off since, you know, she was female to begin with. Buuut, they hurt Yena's feelings and they got beaten in the end. (Not to mention the aardwolf is kinda ungrateful fuck too) Hmmmmm...

Bat used the word "senpai", which also refers to Hitomi. She didn't explicitly mention "Yena", so all Jin could get from that was Hitomi was touching herself alone.
page 10 of this chapter shows him getting pissed. You see the word "イラ" show up which usually indicates such.
