The Story Between a Dumb Prefect and a High School Girl with an Inappropriate Skirt Length - Vol. 12 Ch. 57 - A story about dumb new students.

[Tainters]

A love triangle? NOOOOOOOO-

Love rivals aren't inherently bad at showing a different facet of characters, but it gets frustrating when the author wants to grow romantic relationships between the guy and an alternative girl for no real reason other than to add manufactured tension.

One of the better love rival storylines is Komi;

Spoiler: broad Komi Can't Communicate love plot spoliers

Tadano notices Manbagi's feelings although he initially doubts himself. And when she confesses he turns her down gently. That's the sort of catharsis and relationship-building storylines that shine in high-school romance manga like this one.

Meanwhile in that shogi manga we get shit like this page (ch. 177) where the main guy is just like, "Oh, okay " to what amounts to a love confession. It's annoying that he's intentionally writing Ayumu as obtuse as possible. He's clearly into his senpai but strings along Rin and/or is so oblivious that he just doesn't tell her politely that he notices her feelings.

If he were more internally conflicted between both girls, okay sure. But as it's written we're just waiting for an inevitable end, making each page dedicated toward Rin and Ayumu boring and unrelated to the overall plot.

All that to say, this author has before surprised me by just getting the main couple together in one of the most natural-sounding ways I've ever read. I don't think this first year girl is supposed to be an actual rival. I think it's more about showing how Sakuradaimon is growing up and loosening his strict viewpoint on school morals.

tl;dr this is a good manga. i trust author-san.

The funny part about Komi is that while it did handle the Mangabi triangle really well, it's shitting the bed now with the new girl lol

Dude, she literally confessed to him before and he clearly told her he's into senpai. Why would he be surprised about it all over again?
Chapters with Rin are about her living in a moment, not about the ship progression or anything.

doe I'd hate it if it's one of those "you're not worthy to be with him" kinda shi

Given her character I can totally see that happening, I can also see him getting flak for going out with her too. I pray that it doesn't though, that trope is so dumb and annoying. Always turns into a dick measuring contest about who has been around longer, who knows what and did what.

NTR dial! to 11! now!

 

[goarachnidlaser]

More importantly than all this... what the hell is that thing on Poemu's head?!!!

 

[metal4orce]

The title is still relevant even if these three became the new main characters

 

[galaxia9]

I'd been fearing the end of the school year might've been the end of the manga but it seems not. Pleased to have more dumb busybodies and short skirts in the future.

Still hoping the younger sister are going to get together. Same sex couples can exist without needing the yuri genre tag.

like how the part about relationships wasn't caught

BRUH HIS BARBER FUCKED HIM UP

I agree with you. I don't think this new character is being introduced as a rival or manufactured tension. I won't bother trying to guess where it goes but I can't see it being that lame.

I don't know when was the last time you read Komi but Manbagi is already an old news. The new love rival is inherently bad. She's everything I hate about the love rival in romcom.

 

[Toon_Jay]

Komi is one of the worst manga ever with it's love rival.

Komi is a shit manga overall... Took over 100 chapters JUST for the side characters to be bearable ._. Komi and Manbagi are alright, the rest are just generic 1-dimensional shitty tropes... Also, I hate the worshipping shit in general, bit Komi is EXTREMELY obnoxious with it. 99% of the characters are so fucking punchable.

Dead on arrival lol

 

[colorlesseatstomboys]

Honestly if she came first I would've been all about this ship.

I'm glad the FMC also has short hair and her black hair looks good on her too, or I'd be raging rn 😂
