Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru - Vol. 15 Ch. 197 - The 197th Move

[subliminal]

What the hell are we doing...

Flirting.
If you weren't as dense as tungsten you would realise how whenever you're both alone together you don't do anything else.

I just can't stand chapters where it's just the two of them at this point, at least other mangas stop with the "love rival chapters" after they get turned down, but instead they made her a delusional simp who has shown time and time again that she can't move on. If they had actually made accept the fact that he's in love with somebody else and progressed their relationship in a friendly way this would have just been a funny chapter with a little bit of teasing at the end, but like this I can't really see it as anything but her not being able to let go.

She was never a good rival to begin with, at no point of this story I felt like their relationship could develop into anything romantic, so keeping this up just makes no sense to me.

Agreed, it just feels like beating up poor Rin at this point. I never felt like she had any shot at being the main love interest, but she might have still been useful to the story if her aggressiveness caused one of the other two idiots to stop beating around the bush and move their relationship forward.

Instead we just constantly get these awkward chapters that just feel kind of sad to read.

fanservice wtf??

 

[phabrykMaester]

Rin's powerlevel is dangerous.
Could she actually tip the scales in her favour?
Find out in 50 chapters!

 

[Mr_Stizblee]

Aren't the spats better though?

 

[rabidfish]

She's too good for him. I remember a new character was introduced back a few chapters ago, hope he gets the chance to romance this gal cuz this MC is a fucking idiot lol

 

[Chronigan]

Let me vent a bit.

Yes im a childhood friend type of guy but i dont like how , in most romance manga, the friend and the MC always seems to have a more natural progression in their relationship compared with the Female MC. Like “yeah you’re physically attractive and our personality works perfectly with each other. I’ll still go with that random girl i got a crush on for no reason and that our relationship is still super akward even after 2+ years.”. It always feels like the relation between the mc and the childhood type friend is better written than the main relationship of the series.

Worst part is childhood friend always has to have the biggest balls and be the first to confess in the series just so that the MC can “understand the true meaning of love” and immediately cucks her with the female mc lmao. She then gets a revelation from god or whatever and understands why she got cucked then proceed to stick with male mc.

Anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk and justice for childhoods friends. The writers never treat them well.

(also any good recommendation on childhood friend actually winning ?)

Childhood friend winning.

Three years apart.
Still ongoing but no real other love interest Aishiteru Game wo Owarasetai
Ayakashi Triangle

You'll most likely get the childhood friend win if she's the FMC in romcom, like Amano megumi for example. But still people will root for the side chara coz they are more or somewhat attractive 😂

Teasing Master Rin-San

 

[Xystus]

I wanna sniff Rin through her spats SNIFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Hexahedron_3BLD]

Thanks for the chapter!

Did they just have an undressing competition?

No, you've got it all wrong! it was clearly a "who can wear the least amount of clothes during winter" competition jk

There isn’t a universe we’re Rin is the wrong choice.

Ngl, this is the chapter that made me jump ship over to Rin's side. I've never liked any instance of "childhood friend is rejected but keeps trying anyway" but I'm (now) all for this one. This chapter feels so much more comfy than what I've come to expect recently, which stems from the fact that Rin and Ayumu's relationship feels substantially more natural to me. Although I get the impression that you aren't supposed to feel that way haha

 

[kiero13]

Wth happened with the direction of this manga? He'd better off be with her or someone else then and have the heroine fall for someone else. What even is his 197th move here with regards to the title and main plot of this manga?

 

[Hehefunnyrapehorse]

Fuck it. Give us the harem ending, or someone is getting seriously hurt (actual threat (, in minecraft)).

Yeah, to me it was never even a valid ship because there were absolutely no feelings towards her coming from him, maybe if she had been introduced before it was made blatantly obvious that he is already in love with Urushi the whole chemistry would feel different, but like this all the "progress" for their relationship always feels like him being friendly to his friend and Rin getting her hopes up to me.

And while I don't get why some people are hyping Rin up so much, I also definitely don't want to see her being treated like a floor mat for the whole story. Since she had no chance to begin with, it would just be better to show her move on or maybe get an actual love interest for herself, even though I think the latter probably won't happen at this point. Chapters like these just have a sad undertone to me more than anything else.

I do get why people like Rin; in isolation she's a great character, and I'd have happily read a series with her as the FL. Or heck, even if she had come in much earlier and it wasn't 100% clear that Ayumi had already made his choice I might have been tempted to cheer for her.

But as you said, it just feels kind of sad watching her still fight a hopeless battle. It would have been much more satisfying to see her make her move, get rejected, and then hopefully find a new partner. Then it would feel fine to have her still tease and encourage Ayumi, because it would feel more like she was helping a friend she cared about instead of trying to break up a relationship.

HOLY SHIT JK LOLIS SHOULD NOT TURN ME ON THIS MUCH
RIN STOP MY HEART CAN'T FUCKING TAKE THIS ANYMORE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[HailBritannia_]

They're so stupid, I love this

 

[HailBritannia_]

Rin is too strong and loveable when he rejects her i might consider quitting manga for good

he already has rejected her lol

she doesn't quit but she's never really been in the race, Ayumu will get with senpai and b friends with her
