The Dangers in My Heart - Ch. 164 - I'm Making My Move

[MeganeR]

Well imo it's really not a filler. They're developing the cast, and I'd imagine Kyotarou will probably find out his future path by the end of this arc and to catch up and stand beside Anna.

Unfortunately, a certain other Kinoshita should be taught this, still...

It might happens, but I sure won't be there to read it

I forgot what this filler is about

That's not a filler. It's just normal manga arc that's more about secondary characters than usual, and there isn't anything wrong with developing side characters while having main couple take part in it.

Funnily enough, I hadn't actually thought of this as filler until i read the comments, it still doesn't completely feel as filler tho

That's because filler means part of anime adaptation of manga that's not in source manga, usually created because adaptation would catch up to the manga and ran out of chapters to adapt. The problem with fillers was that, since they weren't part of manga canon, the writers of filler episodes couldn't do anything that would progress any character or change the status quo, to avoid diverging from manga. That means any filler episode (or whole arc of fillers) couldn't have any real stakes, since everything would be reset at the end of filler. Filler is something you can skip watching and not lose anything when watching the next episode after filler. Obviously this isn't what's happening here, since the even in this arc create tangible changes and developments in characters of this manga.

Now some ignorant people will call "filler" anything that's too slow paced for them, or is about characters that they don't care about, but that's because they're ignorant and they're the type that use words without understanding their meaning, as one could expect from those who can't appreciate manga actually developing secondary characters and using them to have arc that's not only about main couple. Using secondary characters well is part of the trick to write post-confession manga that's not just about "will they/won't they" like most romance manga that end with a kiss.

Well... How should I say... In the latest chapters, things started moving but knowing Reiji, it will just be fake progress.

Spoiler

Kazuya for the first time wondered if Chizuru might like him back and the reticent shit goblin Chizuru is finally showing signs of affection. But based on past "progress" and the usual glacial pace of the story, it will for sure take another 100, 200 chapters to show significant progress. So yeah, you're not missing much, just the usual endless Kazuya inner monologues (yes, we know, Reiji, he is extremely insecure and incapable of just taking a deep breath and thinking about something else. No need to use 3/4 of every damn chapter to remind us of that).

I don't see it as filler, the supporting cast of this series is very good and now it's given more focus, something that the series always lacked but wasn't so necessary, I appreciate it anyway.

But I'm not very convinced by the plot of the gang and the direct approach that Norio wants to give to this problem, Kyo and Anna are involved in this but even so, I don't know what Norio is looking for with this narrative and where she wants to go involving the main couple in this.

I'm a bit worried about not seeing sense in things at the moment, but I trust her.

Created an account just to comment on this, cause it's been driving me crazy how no one is talking about it. The purpose of this arc is to give Ichikawa a goal for his future, either a major or career, which is a big step in his development.

He's always felt inferior to Yamada due to her job and her being so "grown up", so he thought studying hard and getting into a prestigious highschool would make him closer to her (from the study arc). But the previous chapter shows that's not the case, he still feels like Yamada is leaving him behind. Then Momo starts talking about the "path she should take" (her future career) and he suddenly feels motivated to help her and find his own path (the title of the chapter is "I want to find my path").

It's clear this is leading to Ichikawa finally choosing a career, something to seriously strive for, just like Yamada does with modeling/acting. From the context of these past few chapters and Ichikawa's personality, I'd say it's either detective or lawyer, but it could even be something related to music, seeing as he's so happy with his song.

So no, I don't think this arc is "filler".

 

[PrecureHunter]

ofc this stupid bitch Niko appears
holy god i hate her so fcking much, if she's the responsible for the rumors im dropping the series and pissing on the volumes ive purchased

 

[ShaiKhulud]

With Norio rarely any chapter is a filler in hindsight

 

[havelmom]

Funnily enough, I hadn't actually thought of this as filler until i read the comments, it still doesn't completely feel as filler tho

it's filler
but people are religiously fervent to this manga
it also had a large stall in between their confession arc and the development of their feelings
some people like it because it gives a more SOL feeling to the manga

 

[bitfarb]

I love these kinds of chapters, because they end up strengthening the relationship of our duo.

Also we get more Kana screentime

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[BackAlleyWeeb]

I'm really fucking tired of Niko. I wish she just disappears altogether

 

[micz7ryu]

They couldn’t even enjoy a simple live due to her stupid job. Damn, I hate Yamada’s job so much.

 

[aznkane87]

....and Kana was hot for all of one chapter, lmao.

Unlike others, I'm excited to see more Yamada Niko being menhara. I can't wait to see how she reacts when she eventually finds out they're dating.

 

[wasaki]

Everyone else talking about the plot, but I'm locked in on the "plot" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[brunocar]

im like 50/50 this ends with kyo's sister dating a woman

 

[the_legendary_klobb]

Please just let Moe hook up with Ichikawa's friend. She still needs a boyfwi

Nah, I'm rooting for Adachi. She likes trashy guys, and Adachi is the best kind of trashy guy. Meaning she's got the trashy vibes she's drawn to but is actually a good guy.

 

[HaIoSmith]

Niko must go

 

[MiguelH224]

Pretty sure she could sell that

Spoiler

And I wouldn't buy it... or would I?

Officer, hes over here!


To horny jail you go bucko

 

[Psychronia]

It's nice seeing a main character just deal with other people's nonsense drama from the outside.
