Probably another misdirection, at least we got Yako.

I thought the first pages are Riku x Shizuku flirting
but it was another Riku's dream again.

Chapter 57 and the author is still just adding "mysteries" and not answering anything.

Umimi grandma died (probably) ...
Ref: Chapter 7 page 9

So this is what it would be like if J.J. Abrams wrote a manga I guess. Nothing but mystery boxes everywhere. Side note, no way Takt is not gay.

Since Riku is a "good" guy, I am sure, Umimi will live with him from the time being.
And I guess the next arc will be a complete mess since it will (just a guess) reconciling Umimi parents or whatever...

I am not sure though...
How can he be that calm knowing that your "girlfriend" is far away nowhere to be found ??

Is he cheating on Shizuku or is he gay...
(Not gonna lie, It would be kinda interesting if that happens)

 

[SilentWInd]

This is getting pretty heavy...

I leave this manga for months, my last read was chapter 30ish, and do a marathon to catch up with the latest chapter
Still a steaming hot pile of garbage holy fucking shit

well no one mentioned this part but it was hinted he was involved, too bad the hints weren't really obvious after shizuku visited riku in chapter 1 so everyone seemed to have forgotten it

crying and asking to stay right after going out with takt? it was an obvious red flag that something bad went down for the poor girl, i don't remember it being mentioned again but even if it did, well they continued inviting takt out so....

This chapter really is a dreamlike scenario. On my first read i was like "who deserve to have to go through all this?" Takt probably knew about the thing between shizuku and riku asw, he's going out losing both of his best friends asw

Oh Umimi, will you ever learn?

Spoiler: No, no she won't. Next time, we do it all over again:

"Sure does, kiddo. Sure does. Hey, you seen Shizuku by any chance? She hiding back there? Could really use a twofer today."

Thanks for the chapter

On another note, this chapter kinda cracks me up, because "dream logic" in film is totally a thing you can go for - e.g., less Inception and more Mullholland Drive, or Waking Life if you wanna be really on the nose about it. And while this chapter is very obviously going for it with its use of first person, lack of Riku's side of the conversation, unexplained cuts, and exaggerated story elements, it accidentally winds up being less dreamlike than the average chapter of this manga on account of how nonsensical and disjointed and "oooh, mysterious" the narrative presentation always is.

What does it say about your craft when the story that gets told in the too-obvious dream is more linear and makes more sense than the overall plot?
...and wtf Riku, how did you fall asleep LEANING OUT AN Nth STORY WINDOW?!

 

[bhlaab]

takt is a girl and they're pretending to date for some convoluted reason involving his (her) family or something

are none of you seeing the eyelashes?? cmon

 

[Saury]

Whoa, Jesus, for a moment I thought we were going for a BL route 😅

 

[Excel2021]
