The Dangers in My Heart - Vol. 10 Ch. 135 - I Stayed Focused

[Selfisch]

Yamada going full crisis mode when she thinks Chii might be after Ichikawa too is hilarious

Chii realising that Ichi is into Yamada and trying to hook them up is even more so

Screw outdoor sex, next chapter is time for some indoor sex.

Damn. Japan really into underage sex and teenage pregnancy aren't they?

Flashbacks of Suzuka

Ain't no way 15-hour study sessions are worth it, especially just for a high-school. They're bright kids and this would just overexhaust and hurt their flexibility (in my graduate exams, at least, there was always a prcentage of questions that tested your ability to actually apply the info in non standartisized ways).
This is the kind of shit you pull for a subject you give 0 fucks about but don't wan't to fail, not to ingrain info - because information aborbtion requires down time, to sort and connect it in your head.
I guess the point is that those exams are more to reward execution of protocols rather than evaluation of weaknesses with subjects to be improved upon, but it's still sad
(edit: I know it's exaggerated, but even if I don't take the numerous depictions of cramming in manga as anything close to reflecting the reality in Japan I've seen similar exam culture irl and wanted to muse about it)

YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO GOTH GIRLS

Am tho

 

[ItsThatBriGuy]

Wow, they're actually getting studies done against all expectation and with this much distractions around.

I get the feeling Momo laid a hand on her student when she was a tutor, and that's why she got fired...

I'm sure there was "laid" in there somewhere.

Fifteen hour study sessions for exams that won't even take place for another half a year, at that. What are you even possibly going to remember from this by then?

 

[Ikerot]

15 hours of study everyday would result in me being too sick for the exam and then failing because I was never there

Eh, you can remember a lot. Ultimately it's down to review. As long as you're regularly reviewing material you already memorized you should maintain those memories, and the review won't be nearly as long as when you first memorized it.

That being said the culture of Japan and other Asian countries of being expected to study 15 hours a day from middle school is kinda insane. In the US it's not that bad until college.

 

[jeremymd]

The east asian testing culture is so insane. Tying your whole future to a single test with next to no chances for do-overs. Wasteful from a societal standpoint.

See, it's easy to make this reductive conclusion. I myself thought this way until I got older. That final test is just a culmination of years of building positive character traits, or at least that's what it's supposed to be. It won't always work, but if executed properly, it can.

Yamada was ready to strangle Kobayashi if ever she develops feelings for Ichikawa

 

[abdullah17]

Hmm I wonder how momo got fired

 

[ImNotCreativeEnoughtForThese]

My stupid face twitches sometimes and winks on its own I dont even have control

 

[ImNotCreativeEnoughtForThese]

Would hate being japanese

 

[Big_Boss]

This japanese hardassing about exams is huge problem.
Thanks for translation!

 

[Oscaro12b45]

Yamada, bro, you need to work on that self-confidence. You get jealous of literally everyone lmao

She's like 14 bro, lmao

 

[JagdPanther]

Even brief snippits of Kana backstory are welcome.

 

[apstorm]

Kobayashi putting her 2 braincells to work and Yamada getting worried about having to explain it. Luckly Sekine was there to save things again.

Also 15h of study? Ichikawa and Moe are dead.

That wasn't Sekine. That was Serina. Sekine is Moe's family name. Full name Sekine Moeko. Serina is Yoshida Serina. I realize the fact that Moe's family name and Serina's given name being similar can cause confusion, though.

Anyway, yeah, Serina seems to be the glue that holds this team together, honestly. The most aware and observant member of the friend group, and also has the most level-headed perspective- Moeko isn't too far behind on the awareness and observation ability, but she'll troll for amusement (as she's frequently done with Kyo and Anna that have made some people think she might have deeper feelings than just friendship for Kyo, even though she's made it clear before she's into hot bad boys, not adorable derpy good boy introverts, unless that's changed but we don't know until it's pointed out).

There's some irony in it: by Yoshida saying she dislikes and distrusts Ichikawa as something worthy of being Yamada's boyfriend, she remained saved from Anna's irrational jealousy; while Sekine's support and complicity only made her a target for those same jealousies.

15 hours? Imma cry
