Instead of hot pot, he should have Oyakodon for lunch. Sorry, couldn't resist.

She'll mistake him for Yamada's other girl friend. Since he's the same height and hair.

Spoiler

Not for the last time will this be a thing.

This development and process is better than some shitty rental girlfriend plots😆

That's like saying "this gold bar is worth more than some empty toiler paper rolls".

Mamada

Sure ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So... we aren't gonna talk about Yamada failing to enter into a private school, right?

why are these translations so off? i go back from chapter 1 reading boredom society translations and i don't remember them being this off. its like the person translating the Japanese to english, english is there second language

The strange feeling of seeing comments that were likely based on the initial upload, before additional proofreading passes. Because by this point, these translations look amazing to me. I've noticed consistently from comment context that Boredom Society uploaded an initial version and then does revisions and cleans things up, so that later readers get a higher-quality version than those who checked it right away.

"You're yourself, Yamada."

Despite everything, it's still you.

Also he didnt use honorifics~

Uh... She told him not to use honorifics ages ago, by saying to just call her 'Yamada', the implication being instead of calling her Yamada-san or such.

Yeah... both of them failed on that front. I mentioned it when it came up for Kyo telling Anna about it, but now we've got this on top of it... if neither of them had failed their private school entrance exams, they might have never met, and that's a very sad thought.

Fuck, she was gonna probably say she's in love and he just had to finish her sentence.

Way I see it, he, at least, needs to work through his own shit before they can admit they love each other. I know when that event comes, and I know it's going to take awhile, but it's often the case, I feel, that mentally troubled characters have to reach a point of accepting that they deserve happiness before they can open up their heart properly. Sort of a 'love yourself before you love others' thing.

So many people are in a rush to see confessions in these stories, but I often find that patience is a virtue, and if the story is well done, and you pay attention to the signs, you should know that, sometimes, that moment is going to take awhile because the characters are not actually ready for that yet.

Of course, you have the ones that stall that shit for hundreds of chapters (or several seasons if it's an anime) while things stay virtually stagnant, but this story has never felt like that, to me, and part of that is because even if it's only a small change, Kyo feels like he grows as a person on the way towards being willing to admit he can be worthy of love... and not just him, but Anna also showing character growth on the way towards that moment, as well.

The best stories, I feel, give good reasons for why they can't confess yet, and some of the most solid ones, to me, have to do with self-worth. I've read many manhwa and manga that are well rated and have mental issues having to do with one's self worth and fears of commitment as key roadblocks on the path to their happiness. Characters have to tackle their own personal issues before they can feel worthy of the other person's love, and that's the most interesting and believable story progression.

This is why (as a bit of a tangent), in my experience, if there's a story with multiple love interests, the one that is the most troubled or defiant is the most interesting choice for the writer to focus on. It's why tsunderes, and often other similar archetypes like kuuderes, tend to be such strong love interests, because they are, if written correctly, generally quite troubled and have so much character growth to work through to reach the point where they can feel deserving of love.

If there's a straight deredere love interest alongside them, they're the most boring and unlikely choice if you want an interesting narrative, and one of the best stories with multiple love interests that I've read involved a deredere that basically had absolutely appalling relationship development progress with the main character, often having setbacks that made her reconsider if she should even try to keep pursuing the male lead because of indications that he might like the girl that turned out to be the real female lead and not wanting to interfere with that despite her own desires, and just a general stagnant or at least glacial progress that made me write her off pretty readily and consider any chapters focusing on her getting closer to the male lead to be a distraction from the real plot, to keep him from realizing his feelings for the real female lead sooner.

Kyo and Anna have grown so much 🥺

This might be the only giant ass essay I've bothered to read on a comment section.
