Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi o Suru - Ch. 103

[SilverSupreme]

just give it up already and use your resources for a different series... potteto translations are a lot better, what's the point of having more than one anyway?

This group has been doing the translations for like 4 years. You want them to stop just because another group picked it up when the anime aired?

Going by the latest chapter, I think he realized he wanted to keep making cosplay outfits and stay with Marin, but he isn't ready to accept that. He loves his grandpa, and Hina dolls are what connects the two. He is trying to distance himself emotionally from Marin to not regret sticking with the Hina dolls. That's my assumption at least. I was worried he was just jealous, but thankfully that doesn't look like the problem.

Ahhhh, so that's what may be going on.
Yeah, putting so many years of your life into developing a craft, and then you are suddenly more known and gor more people talking about a different one you just picked up as hobby...
I have experienced that one, it doesn't feel great XD.
And if he wants to get good and successful on his main one before his grandpa dies... That must have hit like a truck.

Pretty sure he made it clear that it's because he feels like she's slipping away. Sure he's also worried about his old man, but that's just what he's using to rationalize his feelings. Which is why what he's saying is filled with such emotion. He's using a previous problem as a scapegoat, and charged it with the emotions of what he's actually feeling depressed about.

In reality, his lack of self esteem that we've seen throughout the series is at it's peak here. He thinks so little of himself, that he believes, now that she's receiving all of this attention from the people around her, like her fans absolutely swooning over her, that she's no longer "his". Or more accurately, that she never was, and never will be.

He realized how he felt about her to some degree, but "all too late"(in his mind), and because of his self esteem, chose to give up, and let her drift away.

Unbeknownst to him though, in "giving up", he's actually pushing her away. Even though what he believes is not true, his actions stemming from believing it to be true are what will actually help it become a reality.

Makes you think. What you believe really does affect the world around you, even when you don't realize it.

I think that's just his rationalization. In reality, Gojo is being very irrational right now, and is trying to make sense of it. His attempt to fool himself also fooled you, hahah.

Judging from when this whole change started, it seems like, he feels a certain level of possessiveness or, exclusivity with Marin. He had some sort of special "relationship" with her, but never realized how much that meant to him. In fact, he developed romantic feelings for her, but unlike Marin, he refused to acknowledge them. This is because of his lack of self esteem. He doesn't want to ruin the "friendship" he has with her, and lose a person so amazing from his life. Besides, she "only came to him for the cosplays". So he buried the feelings away, and subconsciously channelled his love and passion for her, in his cosplays for her.

When she garnered so much attention from her latest cosplay, she reached a level of popularity from the people (namely men) around her. Fans absolutely adoring her. In the eyes of Gojo, a level of affection that he never dared show her, and did not know that he wanted no one else to do so either. Which is why he regretted making her so beautiful in her Haniel cosplay.

The scene of him being on the outside of the circle while she's encircled by men and women fawning over her, is symbolic. It symbolized how Gojo feels. Distanced from Marin, and that all this attention from others is going to cause him to lose her. Or maybe, he feels like he already lost her. That it's only a matter of time before someone better or "more deserving" comes along. He likely beat himself up about it, "reminded himself of his place"(his self esteem we see often kicking in again). Which is why we see this defeatist attitude, and subconsciously pushing her away. Because in his own mind, he already lost what he had. Or maybe, he deludes himself into thinking he never had it to begin with.

Gojo is not that beat up about the hina dolls. Marin was his hina doll. he was already doing what he loved, for the one he loved, even if he didn't know it. This was all just an excuse for him to rationalize his feelings. Because he doesn't believe in himself, and has most likely never felt this way before either. If a man with no self esteem is new to love and heartbreak, he'll do exactly as Gojo does.

I'm honestly at the edge of my seat for what comes next. Obviously it's a manga, so they'll somehow come clean, but this kind of downard spiral that he's in. It's only a matter of time before he pushes Marin away so much that she won't even bother to reach out or clear the air. She's already teetering that line. I hate that the author used the phone ringing cliché, but I guess you have to prolong the drama somehow.

You guys are all afraid as if Marin is some sort of "Our love story:The experienced you and inexperienced me" slut that goes around fucking guys. And by that I don't mean she will literally go around fucking guys, but supposedly "give up" on Gojo and move on.

Her feelings for him are not depicted to be so shallow and cheap. This is not an uphill fight just for Gojo, it is an uphill fight for Marin too. She has shown insecurity of having him swiped by another girl and this bitch childhood friend that just re-appeared is going to ignite that part of her. Cause she's been complacent so far.

So don't just assume because Gojo is pushing her away currently, that's actually going to succeed and happen. This is just build up for the upcoming drama, her avoiding to interact with him... Watch her cling to him, as the childhood friend tries to win him over.

And if it turns out that she distances herself and starts ignoring him, then this manga is a sham and her portrayal so far fake. I just struggle to believe the author would do that.

I agree. Her reaction to his statement showed she's snapped her out of the 'eh I'll deal with it later.' Mindset she's had recently. Non chan is going to light a fire under her ass and it's not going to be pretty when she finds out about the trauma.

i have a bit of hope with the new chapter that dropped (can't create a forum post for it for some reason) that SOMEONE will move their ass and make a move forward.
