The Anemone Feels The Heat - Ch. 45 - Admiration

[WindMil]

this is really pissing me off. I have a million complaints but I seriously just cba. where does she get the audacity to think that if she doesn't like her right now that means Mashiro also doesn't?

 

[galaxia9]

More of her... oh goody. And her backstory even. The only positive point about her is slightly cheering up Nagisa but I feels like that's because she's laughing at her for being so entitled.

The absolute certainty she had stating that who she is now, who Mashiro loves, is utterly uncool and that because she believes it then it must be correct opinion shared by all, including her fallen idol's girlfriend who she doesn't know at all, is tragically funny.

I'm in a lot of other fandoms right now and am a major WLW shipper. I have to say Kouhai reminds me of those entitled fans. Stalking, expecting, and demanding things from someone they hold in esteem. Wonder if this is inspired by those stories about V.A.'s, that when someone gets engaged or something the fans suddenly turn hostile and start hate messaging their loved ones or the actor themselves.

I see now why Nagisa wishes to communicate with Mashiro and why she was frustrated that Mashiro wasn't being responsive to her questions. She wants to become better for Mashiro's sake but without Mashiro's input, she can't move forward. She's frustrated because the only way she can learn, attain the knowledge she desperately seeks, is to gain Mashiro's insight. Does Mashiro like the way she is now? Is there anything she'd like to change? She's asking not only for concern but because she desires progress. She wants to deepen their connection but doesn't know Mashiro thinks telling her woes will only shift the burden onto Nagisa.

Still don't like Kouhai. Even if her story feels very much like a gay awakening, like when someone becomes obsessed with an idol, puts up pictures and posters everywhere thinking they want to BE that person and later on realizing they actually want to be WITH that person. I still feel her inclusion is unnecessary. There were other methods that could have been effectively used to achieve the same drama and emotions without resorting to the creation of such a petty individual.

Wonder if the author is a fan of Citrus because this reminds me of the arc with the 1st year who got on Mei's case about the changes she wanted to make. Sure she didn't really admire Mei, just didn't want change, but she was also a character created just to incite some drama and has no bearing to the current story right now.

Though I guess the one good thing that came from this chapter is that I understand the friction between our mains. Nagisa's reaction, walking away from Mashiro, makes more sense now. Kouhai took her weakness, her thirst for knowledge, and unwittingly used it against her. Only this time, Nagisa knew she couldn't turn to a book to figure things out. She turned to the source, to Mashiro, and was rebuffed. She was denied that which she wanted.

It makes sense that this hurdle would be exacerbated. They still don't know how to navigate around each other, are still in the early ages of their romance, still getting to know the ins and outs of each other. They still have to learn how to be with someone and communication is key. It's their first relationship and they haven't even been together that long?

I would have liked for their issue to have been resolved before we see any of the other couples advance but I guess that's the way it's gonna go? Not all couples can be happy until we get to the very end I suppose...

Eagerly waiting the next update and so excited that this is getting an English Translation!!!!

 

[Yuri_Enjoyer_Deluxe]

The arc of all time (what the fuck are they doing lmao)

Also glad to see she's back (forgot her name), I was wondering when they'd have a purpose in the story again with all the setup... so I guess this is the escape plan...

 

[Weebshit5149]

I get the feeling from this chapter that the author received some backlash for the sudden appearance of this trash tier drama arc and nothing character and this was their way of walking back a lot of the garbage, now we get a nice break to see uda and riri as a distraction from the weak main plot. Not the best move but much better then just force feeding the drama.

 

[Orangechrisy]

Nagisa I need you to stop listening to this girl in even the slightest amount and just bitch slap her into another city so that she can fuck off and not come back.

She can't possibly be dumb enough to hang onto Mei saying that Mashiro must consider her super uncool because she's not 100% devoted to studying right? Like, she can't possibly be dumb enough to believe her words about her own girlfriend who Mei doesn't know at all and hates, right?

 

[rocketsquidrsn]

What a nothing sandwich. Who the hell acts like this lol. I just want cute yuri shit pls

 

[Kurro]

This is why I don't like extreem fans or idiol worshipers. They have this fantasy picuture in their head and the moment it changes they go ballistic like the mentally ill persons they are. Then again I hate worship in all it's forms...

 

[AkodoRyu]

I get Nagisa's internal issues, and I think it's a valid theme for an arc.

But the Junior is just insufferable. How entitled can you be? Does Nagisa exist to validate your choices? Wtf? And the fact Nagisa doesn't just go off on her for all this selfish, self-centered bs she is spewing is baffling to me.

 

[Loner210]

Her thought process doesn't make any sense, and so does the author's for this arc.

 

[lesbean22]

Just leave the couple alone bruh

 

[Zedter]

Finally, RIRI DATE!!!!!!

 

[demon_slayer69420]

1/10 chapter and the one point is because we got to see Uda

 

[splatsoni]

omg wtf who even is this girl she appeared outta nowhere (riri date yayy)

 

[MathMols]

Nagisa is a great girlfriend and grounded person. That was actually established as such. It also was established that Mashiro is not 100% well mentally thus her overreacting and partially enabling whatever this is.

Also, I do hope you can see that the author clearly fully changed Nagisa for these 3 chapters to enable 1) the useless nothing drama as a whole, 2) the new "character" (would call her a tool but she had no use at all?) being allowed to talk at all and 3) her completely disregarding Mashiro's everything and acting plain stupid (Mashiro was just as stupid these 3 chapters, tho).

Chill out and enjoy these some chapters of absolute dogshit writing that clearly is filler for more pages=bag. Shit happens, author did great for 40 chaps, no need to go nuclear on one questionable decision made by a greedy editor (assumption).

I am Sorry but how tf can you call someone a great girlfriend when they let a random b*tch trash talk and treat their GF as trash without doing anything and then she gets mad like a little kid over the fact that her GF wont tell her something she should be able to see herself with ease, right after she herself refused to tell her GF something?

And do tell me how Mashiro was as stupid these chapters? The only stupid thing she did was telling herself that she was in the wrong when she was infact the only one in the right…

 

[MathMols]

i am trying to reserve this once she has a heart to heart talk with Mashiro. I want keep even just a little bit of faith on Nagisa. Like she doesn't want to escalate it further. Once she says, 'I had no idea' or 'She didn't mean it like that', Nagisa will automatically be on my hit list for bad yuri girlfriend.

No matter what she say, it will not save her. She let a b*tch treat her GF like that for no reason, got mad over something she herself did a second earlier… I have already lost faith in her and wish that Mashiro find herself someone better, but Sadly that will never happen…

 

[GuiltyNubbins]

Does Glasses not have friends? I don't understand how no one has told her she's acting like a fucking lunatic. It feels like she's one step away from murder suicide

 

[pepperonimadness]

Yeah you know what? I'd rather the manga focuses on Uda and Riri again over the new girl

 

[Theinfinitepet]

Are you talking about Matsushita Mei, whose name appears on Page 3, and also in at least one chapter that the previous scanlation team did?

I’m going to be honest I don’t remember seeing her name and I dislike her so much I simply don’t care. Regardless of the name she seems to have been injected randomly into a story to be drama starter but it’s done so poorly I dislike it vehemently.

 

[gold_0]

This shit is goofy as hell lmaoooo
"You're uncool right now so you should go back to being cool" paraphrased


Thanks for the chapter!
