I truly loathe what I can only call "anti plain girl propaganda." What the hell is wrong with some Japanese guys that they look at someone as cute as FemC (before her "change") and go "you're actually pretty plain?"

Honestly fuck the MC. I don't even care if he said that inadvertently; he still consciously believes it to be true if it was lingering in his mind to begin with. I just refuse to tolerate anyone who uses "you're plain" when all that really translates to is:
  • you're pretty quiet
  • you're (likely) a studious person
  • you wear glasses
  • your hair is black
By this vague definition, I guess a lot of guys and girls are just "plain" huh. It's utterly ridiculous.

Not a big fan of the MC but I wish this was a bit longer considering I would like to see Shimeya's POV & understand if this is truly revenge or her trying to look better for him. If this gets a serialization (doubt it), I'll give it a read since I recognize this author's art style. Thanks for the translations.
Same, took me awhile but its by the same author of 'Do you like a big kouhai' which was great and wholesome.

She's very cute either way, but this moron MC doesn't deserve her with the way he immediately jumped to the assumption that she got nampa'd and "NTR'd" over summer vacation just because she changed her image and attitude.
In his defense, it was his friends bringing up the hentai tropes + her saying 'Do you really think I was waiting for you?' that furthered his assumptions. At first he was just curious why.
Is this the new way to advertise for Fanbox? :thonk:

I enjoyed author's previous short senpai/tall kouhai work, but this one seemed to miss the mark for me.
Doubt it'd be fanbox stuff, cause its much longer the usual variety, and it came out last year.

P.S: went and checked their fanbox and all I can see is R18 for their previous series. They have a post about this oneshot, where they sold it at comita. So it wasn't even published in collab with a magazine.

The thing is, both manga and other japanese media have made the 'plain=boring/bland' kinda thing. I like how when he meant plain, its like saying he likes vanilla, but because of the negative connotations that surround that word, she took it in the wrong way.

Yeah, no. Sorry, but there's no defending that. Making assumptions is terrible, and he clearly is lacking in sensible communication ability with how he steps all over himself around her.

Even plain girls who look like they're the answer to (((500*30)+74000-500+6.5)*4)/2 can be cute, so MC just took a fat L lol

well ppl have prolly recovered from saying dumber things as a teen but i'm sure he'd have a chance to apologize (but it would've been nice if he was like "i think you were fine as a plain girl" or so, if only to not attract as much attention from other ppl lol but would've also a good ending if she moved on like "i wanted to change for myself, not /you/")

Guess her parents weren't concerned/didn't flip out tho even if they were generally 'accepting' to where they wouldn't necessarily forbid it but i'd think most parents would prolly be shocked at that much of a change/makeover lol

i think he was just too easily influenced by his other friends

Tho i can totally imagine a psychological/hentai twist where one of his friends all along manipulated it to where he told her that she looked plain but suggested a change to get attention but still end up with the background friend. Kinda like that isekai ntr manga or whatever lol

Don't remind me how I'm still waiting for Vertical to continue translating the Monogatari novels 😭

I can't decide who's dumber, the girl or the guy. The guy is just stupid in general, and the girl decided to do a whole image change over one misunderstood sentence.
