The Moon on a Rainy Night - Vol. 4 Ch. 13 - Burst

Crazy bro

 

[CitiesAreLost]

This dude: I am the only who can understand what she's going through 🤡🤡🤡

First off, I don't think the two were dating. Secondly, Saki does kind of have a point here. Most bullies in Japan, and worldwide really, feel nothing for the people they attack. They don't dwell on it. They act like it's normal and they did nothing wrong. If you ask a middle age bully about bullying they did in high school it's likely they won't even recall. The fact that this clearly bugs her, probably every day, is proof she has a conscience. Saki isn't absolving her of guilt, she's trying to tell her she isn't quite the monster she thinks she is, which is true.
It feels like the negative commenters here want this to be perfect, squeaky clean yuri where everyone is angelically nice to each other. That isn't how people work. Relationships are messy. Sometimes you hurt someone. Sometimes the wrong cascading series of events can make it so you snap and hurt someone badly. And it's very human to run away rather than do the hard thing and try to apologize.

There are tons of yuri without drama. About a College Girl Who Gets Picked Up at a Mixer by an Older Girl was 65 chapters of pure fluff. However, anyone who read the first chapter of this manga and didn't expect drama to be a component is, frankly, silly.

I dont know why you answer me with saying they wasnt dating, since I never wrote anything about anyone dating.
Also no matter how we look at it, she is a b*tch and even when she met her again after all this time, she was still acting like a f`ing b*tch towards her, no matter how you look at her, she aint kind. I did expect drama, since there is drama in like 99% of all yuri series and I dont complain about the drama itself, but rather that Saki is annoying af to listen to in this chapter and have the dumbest reasons in the World to call her kind…

 

[MathMols]

I think what she mean by "kind" is that ever since she is still living with it and it's still weighing on her, so she isn't "evil" by nature like being proud or not seeing why it was wrong of her

So we just gonna ignore the fact that the moment they met eachother again she acted like the same f`ing b*tch she was back then? And like someone else say “evil people dont regret, they justify”, which was basically what she did when she talked to Saki.

Totally agreed! I was one of them (dark page from my high school history) and was bullied too. I wanted to say almost the same xD I never dated anyone. So my friends always saying things like "This guy is so hot and you, feel nothing? Maybe you're... gay?! Hahaha". So I was living with a... Voice in my head: "you can't be gay,you can't be gay!". It's from my dark page history xD You can't blame teenagers for this. They just don't understand... That's what I'm trying to say.

And this is why Saki isn't pushing for forgiveness but rather to move on from their past dramas, and clearly Ayano isn't justifying her behavior, she explained why on the moment she acted this way, she didn't said something like "it was right of me to react like that"

She has already resigned herself to playing the evil part in their relationship. It's probably easier to pretend to be an asshole because the alternatives are glossing over it - which she clearly doesn't want to do since she's aware that she did something bad - or apologizing, which means making herself vulnerable towards someone that has every right to hate her. Doubling down on the asshole role is the easy way out, especially when she doesn't expect them to meet very often.

You litterally called her the "exgirlfriend" in the post I quoted. I've never heard anyone use that term for "former friend I was in no way dating."

 

[91nk0]

just because she refused him doesnt mean there wasnt useless hetshit. "Hetshit" doesnt mean that there has to be a hetero couple.

Take your meds shizo

 

[Akira9200]

some people here actually quite harsh toward Ayano huh... while you've seen how she went through with all of the home chores and school life, especially when she's still a middle schooler back then. you can imagine how hard to handle all of those things while at that age. obviously she'd have some complex for comparing her life with others. so the existence of Kanon as someone who truly need close friend and quite social butterfly back then indeed will make her become stressed. you can't blame Ayano entirely for being harsh toward Kanon, the fate she had forced her to do so.

and as for Saki for called Ayano being "Kind", she's indeed kind, and not trying to justify herself, she's still care for Kanon all this time. if you're in Ayano position, there's a chance you could face the same problem and decided to act like her for the sake of someone you care or for yourself. If Ayano decided to stay by Kanon's side, surely it'd become a toxic environment for herself.

I don't have much to say other than the fact that I like this manga, consistent quality throughout.

If I had to point out one thing that bugs me is... how overexaggerated the facial expressions sometimes are, and I feel like it has the effect of the characters appearing more "evil" than they actually are It started with Kanon herself in the first chapters, then Rinne and now Ayano, they all had this look of pure contempt in their first appearances, but flipped to varying degrees of friendly later. It's probably just the way the author draws faces but I find it slightly funny.

 

[deathpad]

I couldnt sympathize with Ayano at all. The author should write this part longer and emphasis with Ayano emotion and thought

 

[NIPHY]

I'm a bit conflicted.
Ayano's story is kinda sad, but I can't see remorse or sadness drawn well on her face

It's because she put it on stone that it's better they get into fall out... and that hurting kanon is inexcusable


My respect to Ayano for taking care of her siblings even after breaking down like that. Nobody's perfect and this manga is the perfect depiction of that

I know right?? It's kuzushiros style and personally I like it.. there this heavy atmosphere when the character get down about something.. or when they feel elated. I recommend this other manga
Ani no Yome to Kurashite Imasu.
My first manga of kuzushiros work with this u'll get used to the artstyle soon.

 

[TanyaTheEvil]

I absolutely loved this chapter. It gave us two different perspectives and reactions to having friends. It all depends on how selfish we are and how much we want to give of ourselves to our friends. Great chapter and I love this manga. Thanks for the translation and for bringing us this wonderful manga

 

[Serenata]

I think this girl also actually also gay for Kanon, or at least want Kanon to reply on her.
That why she snap after there is some guy appear. She seem to confuse the take care of Kanon with all that stuff at home and lured them both as resiponsible she is forced to take > the reason she suffer. Litelary the she compalin about when Kanon try to make up is "there are whole lot of other who can take care of you" even though Kanon offer that she would help which reducd both end of the problem, her work for Kanon and her family work.
That would explain the cold treatment when she found out there are a new girl (MC) who beside Kanon now. Or the inbetween when they are apart and Kanon get quite close to that guy, she have the same as other girls, but just toward different target XD

Nah I think is clear she liked the guy, or was interested and that's why she snapped... Or at least, she's interested enough to know his schedule and stuff

 

[KuroKurome]

this is good, but it feels like something is missing, I hope that in the future there will be serious conflicts that can make their relationship closer

I don't know, I still feel like something is missing for me,
this story should be good, and it is a sad story
but compared to other similar plots I read, it is just doesn't seem right

I feel like the author wants the readers to feel sympathetic, especially with so many "you are kind" lines thrown from Saki.
I think I'd be more connected if at least Ayano's face is shown a bit more mellowed when telling the backstory.
I mean, you said that what Ayano did is inexcusable, but when I hear a story like that from someone with a frown face like that, I'd be like: "do you even sorry?"

don't get me wrong, I read this author's other manga such as Ani no Yome to Kurashiteimasu.
and I LOVE AniYome
the whole expression drawn there is very touching for me

that's why I feel like something is missing here

 

[Ikerot]

I really enjoy reading this series, and then heading into the comment section and seeing the war zone that's happening in here 😂

 

[Tcof]

Nah I think is clear she liked the guy, or was interested and that's why she snapped... Or at least, she's interested enough to know his schedule and stuff

1. Well, that won't explain the cold act the moment she see Kanon with a new girl (MC) if she reflected on her action, and now the guy is not invole then.
2. And Also not explain how she take the "forced responsibility" to help Kanon but go out of her way to being overprotective.
3. I also don't see know his schedule mean much, And... "He doesnt seem like he have time..." is that interest to him that much to begin with ?
4. And Also she is aware that the guy is aiming for Kanon to begin with, she didnt get mad then, why would she get mad later for steal the guy. This is also not the first boy to try. But:
5. this is the first boy who ever bring up her hearing, and express how he want to protect her and only he can understand what Kanon going through. Is it coincidence that this is the first igniter ?
6. Or follow after all that is how she least out at Kanon for "there are plenty of people who can take care of you, isnt it"

I rest may case
