The Fairytale-like You Goes on the Assault - Ch. 34

[Kikun_]

HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

 

[Maplefield]

Has it ever been stated what is the reason that he rules out any romantic relations with her? Apart from being childhood friends

Maybe they're blood-related?
That's totally fine though. They can move to Alabama.

AFAIK the most that we've gotten is that she's a minor and he's effectively her legal guardian while her parents are out of the country and that she's very young comparatively. both of those reasons also come up in this chapter. the dude sees himself as her chaperone and thinks that a relationship would be improper. he also isn't sure if she's actually in love with him or if she just thinks she is due to a lack of life experience, which is what he means by the imprinting line.
given the last line of dialogue though i'm assuming that there's another, dumber reason like he doesn't think he's good enough for her because he didn't prevent her from being kidnapped well enough when they were kids or something.

That part is real funny to me, because Kagari seems to be a whole lot more mature in this regard than he is. She's aware of her own feelings, and (contrary to what Nana somehow believes, perhaps the author's ludicrous stretching of the Westermarck effect) is a high schooler--not an elementary school girl--who isn't that much younger than Nana himself; she decides to be honest with him, since they're both old enough and they've got all the familiarity in the world under their belt along with the permission of their parents.

Nana, on the other hand, is floundering around: he's a fully grown man, but does not understand himself let alone the messaging of his childhood friend, who isn't bothering at all to make a secret of her feelings--and in the process, constantly snubs her; frequently in unkind fashion, sometimes in brutally unkind fashion, he doesn't really take her or her feelings seriously.

Until, that is, it seems to Nana that he'll lose Kagari's interest.

after a few months, finally got a new chapter

The problem with the first point is that the parents have already given their blessings about their relationship. The girl herself has made it very clear about her feelings. She isn't under any kind of delusions of her desire she knows exactly what she wants.

The time for her to stop loving him as a man and see him as an older brother type strictly was when they were apart. But she's kept these feelings and they in fact have grown stronger since they were apart.

The him dating a minor is the only actual issue I see with this but the parents are already fine with them dating so it's a non-issue. He's literally just being stupid and denying this girl's feeling for some stupid moralistic reason despite the fact he does not deny he is attracted and interested in her himself.

just cuz the parents and her are ok with it doesnt mean he has to be. I cannot imagine being a working adult and dating a high schooler. It is perfectly justifiable to feel apprehensive about it. There is a huge maturity gap between a high school student and a working adult, so i would say its a good thing he is hesitant to go out with her. It is easily arguable him quickly entering a relationship could be potentially exploitative (i dont think so but he might), especially since they literally live together.

they are not on an equal playing field when it comes to maturity. i think everyone (except pedophiles) would argue its bad for a working adult to date an elementary or middle schooler. They just can not understand what it is like to be in a relationship with an adult. He probably thinks a high schooler is not that different. For the record though this is just a cute romance manga and i want to see them get together. Its just i think hes making a mature decision and people brush it off as a "stupid moralistic reason"

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[orenzmania]

why

 

[llcrazyacell]

I need this adapted so bad

 

[heyimsyaz]

this mf stupid

 

[savetheprince]

no no no , please develop more feelings

 

[NewMCWhoDis]

Bro, like, literally, WHY ? Why not ? I legit don't get it. What is this persistency to try to keep a distance ? Literally nothing is preventing you from going out with her other than her age. Just wife her up already.

The only "maturity gap" I see between these two is one has a working job and the other's job is a student. As far as "maturity" goes she's pretty mature. She knows what she wants and is actively trying to get him to have a relationship with her while having some understanding of how an age gap relationship would go and look like to others especially since she's in high school. If he was really the "mature" one here he would've shut her down immediately and squash these feelings she has for him. But he's way too indecisive acting like child than a man. She's acting more adult when it comes to her feelings and desires.

What you see as "mature" I see as pathetic and childish. The mature thing to do would be to either get in a relationship with her and take it very slow and not rush anything and guide her or immediately put his foot down and set up boundaries. Anything else is not mature he's acting like a child.

Also idk why you even brought up middle or elementary schoolers in this discussion. It's disingenuous because we're talking about a high schooler here. They are not on the same level.

For the record I don't immediately disagree with the point of getting into a relationship too quickly. That's a decent point but it's completely stupid at this point in their relationship. They've been together for how long? Couple months I think he should know by know what his answer to her is. But he keeps putting her off. It's not mature it's pathetic.

Whilst I would agree to an extent, this manga has for some reason never explicitly stated the exact numbers regarding their ages and thus that gap. For all we know, their age gap could merely be 2-3 years (considering they actually grew up together) which is far more reasonable than say 10 years which would be more in line with the highschooler/adult dynamic you mentioned.
