honestly the more i think about this chapter the more insufficient it feels. a lot of specifics are lost. the kiss on the finger not being there is bizarre. also miyagi didn't even get to stab her with a pencil!
I'm holding my judgement for a couple more chapters. I don't really think a truly faithful adaptation of the LN would make a very good manga so it really depends on what these changes are in service of.

And that concludes chapter 3 of the web novel! As others have said, It’s missing some specifics from the web novel, but I don’t think anything could’ve been done in this case as chapter 3 was kinda lengthy.

Either way, I thought the earlier chapters were pretty damn good actually! It’ll probably take a few more chapters for them to nail down what should be included or excluded from the source material. After all, not everything can be adapted fully, or each chapter‘ll be 50 pages long lul :pacman:

Sheesh, the smile that Miyagi made after licking the finger. She's got Sendai hook, line and sinker.

Their expressions are great, I genuinely can't wait for them to catch up to the light novel

Yeah the lack of narration and inner thoughts feels really apparent. Things just happen and move on without all of the denial, circular logic and general personality that's a major draw to the novel.

my biggest issue isn't quite that it removes specific beats or even that the internal monologue is gone. the thing that drives shuukura is largely a certain affect, a holding of breath as intimacy is heightened and an exhale as things either progress or recede.

this is predominantly done through eroticism (the plot beats) or melodrama (the monologues), but could be done in a different ways. examples include interesting artstyle shifts, condensing novel moments into one "day" to make a more condensed but claustrophobic tone, or hyper-focus on gesture (ideally through increased eroticism- i have an agenda even if it is specifically not needed to produce the same affect lol).

at the moment, that tone is not quite coming through nearly as loud as the novel. even if it doesnt reach those same heights ill still be here for funny panels and maika fangirling, but well im nothing if not a critic. fingers crossed that some cool art maneuvering happens tho

It's getting better lol :thumbsup: point of view of miyagi is greatly appreciated 👍 makes me understand her better to be fair... I'll do the same lmaooo

Well I don't know.. I just pity her she got all the money she needs but no attention... and no friend because she doesn't know to make one...and well we are talking about Japan here.. even if its not Japan.. if you are not the one making efforts to build and find friendship.. its hard.

she needs a friendly person who would stay beside some like her character and it's hard to come by.

Maika my sweet child, and Ami as well! Please make an appearance in manga soon so manga-only readers would stop assuming Miyagi is some friendless kid whose main motivation for "buying" Sendai is just friend-starvation 😭
