Shouwaru Tensai Osananajimi to no Shoubu ni Makete Hatsutaiken o Zenbu Ubawareru Hanashi - Ch. 11

[mangaburner1979]

The previous chapters before implies that Wakaba had a senpai she liked whom Komaki started dating "just out of spite against Wakaba" and then later dumped him within a short period of time and made fun of it and she obviously did all of this because she was in love with her but Wakaba liked someone else, she couldn't become the #1 person she likes so she became the #1 person she hates. Something something dumb reasoning.

I reread Chapter 10 and now I'm left with more questions than answers but thank you for trying to help.

No problem but I think this was revealed in chapter 2 or 3, you might wanna try re-reading those.

You're right, it was Chapter 4 when it was revealed, I had forgotten. This is what I get for having hundreds of manga/manhua/manhwa in my Reading list. I still feel like I'm missing something though.

360 real talk: My hope is that she walks in on Wakaba and Matsuri just straight up playing the one key piano with eachother. I highly doubt it’ll happen but damn if any girl needed to get BSS’d off her high horse it’s Komaki

based anti-komaki crusader spreading the light once more

 

[Kirin-kun]

There was a "play" on words on pages 23/25 on "matsuri".

In the raws it was written in hiragana and not in kanji, to be kept ambiguous on purpose. (matsuri also means "festival")

Which "matsuri" she's talking about I wonder...

 

[ShadowSilence]

I'm out here doing detective work like Bruce Wayne and I ain't found out nothing.

I don't get it man, this is one of those stories that's better as a oneshot

 

[Jkc121302]

Every time Komaki kisses her I just be thinking wakaba is one of the dumbest 🐕 i know like uhhhh. But I hope the festival chapter ups the pace in this manga I need the shit to hit the fan already

 

[QueenEtna]

Cant wait for the next chap 😍 thanks for the TL!

Man, such bad writing...

The premise could've worked for two or three chapters, but the mental gymnastics the author makes both dumbos go through just to drag it out is retarded. The author clearly lacks the skill to prolong this status quo as long as they wanted.

There should've been a fallout for Komaki by now. Maybe instead of unknowingly falling deeper in love with her, Wakaba actually wins a bet and asks Komaki to break ties, like she intended. Maybe even showing apathy instead of hate. This would bring immense regret to Komaki and make her finally honest about her love, since she failed to make Wakaba hate her and there's nothing more to lose any more.

Not that Komaki deserves her love fulfilled...but that's for Wakaba to decide.

A 4/10 objectively, though still a 6/10 on enjoyment for me.

 

[celstra]

At this point wakaba might be think kissing is just a normal thing hater do.

 

[Lev360]

So she already loved Wakaba from the start eh that's nice. Kinda reminds me of like that Completely Falling Within 100 days

I know this pain all too well

 

[silverpetricof]

Komaki and Wakaba desperately need to eat and bite each other. I want to see the both of them get AGGRESSIVE in their sex, and soulfully, but somewhat quietly, cry out each other's names. They'll gradually get more excited and horny as their crotches melt from the confusion of whatever they feel love or hate each other.

Thank you for the translation (I love hate sex ).

 

[jenniferswift]

Next sesbain pure gex 💅🏻

 

[MoonlitPebbles]

these two are just obliviously and casually doing brat-dom and committing time for each other now and somehow BOTH of them still think they hate each other
these disaster lesbians make me screech I need them to realize and confess their feelings and truly fall in love or I shall perish

 

[NIPHY]

They're were so cute when they are kids... and now I'm frustrated again with then 😅
Then there's this.. matsuri probably sneezing or worst choking somewhere ahahaha

 

[weleasewodger]

So ...mission failed unsuccessfully? 🤔with these 2 I don't know anymore

 

[TheLostLight]

Huh, weirdly enough, I feel like seeing their childhood relationship made some parts of this story fall into place for me. Don't get me wrong, it's still absurd on the face of it, but I feel like I can see an internal consistency in the story and characters that I was missing before.

This chapter didn't really give us any new information, but maybe because it's among the first time the story has shown us some core traits of the characters, rather than just telling or implying through dialogue.

Spoiler: Long-winded Rambling

To lay it all out in explicit terms: Komaki fell in love with Wakaba early on. She was aware of her feelings, even being on the brink of confessing them. Seeing how Wakaba interacts with her, it would be hard to blame Komaki for even thinking that her feelings might be requited. Then obviously something happened between them, likely related to the guy Komaki dated and Wakaba had a crush on. The order of causation is still left to speculation for now, but Komaki feels compelled to interfere between Wakaba and the boy, Wakaba comes to resent Komaki, and Komaki comes to believe that her feelings for Wakaba are irreconcilable.

The most straightforward interpretation of events is that Komaki became jealous when Wakaba started showing interest in someone else, and decided to sabotage and antagonize Wakaba as she immediately assumed that was the only way she could continue to capitalize Wakaba's attention for herself, but there are slightly more convoluted ways we could've reached the current point in the story with the information given. For example, Komaki could've known the guy Wakaba was interested in to be a scumbag and thought she was protecting Wakaba from him, only to be distraught when she realized her own actions hurt Wakaba, and is now playing the villain as a confused form of self punishment, while fulfilling her most selfish desires in a forceful way, as a villain would do. Convoluted, but it's clear from this chapter that the cynical sociopath isn't simply Komaki's 'true nature' or something so shallow.

Regardless, at some point, Komaki probably felt confused and hurt by her own interpretation of her relationship with Wakaba appearing to be innaccurate. How, when, and even if she confronted and coped with this betrayal of expectation is still up in the air, but it clearly led to or was involved in a series of events that lead to their relationship becoming twisted and distorted.

Another thing that still needs explanation is Wakaba's own romantic experiences. She's clearly attracted to Komaki, and was affectionate with her at one point, so the question is what was going on with the boy in middle school and how did she crush Komaki's hopes so badly? Was it purely comphet and she didn't really care for the boy that much? Is she bi, the crush was genuine, and was never conscious of Komaki until she became more aggressive? Or was it a misunderstanding and she never actually liked the boy in that way? Idk, all seem possible at this point.

Anyways, this is semi-incoherent rambling and I kind of forgot where I was going with this. I guess I was just using text to sort out my thoughts a bit, but since I typed it all out, I guess I'll just leave it here. Not sure if there's anything to get out of it for anyone else reading though.

Basically, Komaki and Wakaba are both still huge idiots, but whereas before it felt like the story's concept was forcing them to act like idiots for them to carry it out, now it feels like the concept itself is a natural result of them being idiots, and makes sense in world, or something like that.
