The Woman Who Messes With My Emotions (2022) - Vol. 2 Ch. 17

[Makeiks]

Oof

 

[BuyVelomobiles]

That's not an excuse for him


He's a grown ass man and should know better

I mean, I'd say "Women are new to him" isn't the worst excuse. Still should have rescheduled with clingy girl.

 

[RBAidan]

Yeah, he fumbled this. The needy kohai was the better option.

Once you said that, I couldn't get off the similarity between Amatella and Ame from Needy Girl Overdose

Inexperienced means he over thinks sh*t. Being an adult means nothing if you have no experience.

People when the lonely and socially awkward guy tries to develop a new friendship but is socially awkward: 😡

 

[Nuggz]

I'd have just gone with the super fan tbh

 

[nirleka]

Is this will become the nice boat situation????

 

[Meathir]

Well well well if it isn't the consequences of my actions

Before I at least tried to give this guy the benefit of the doubt but this is just on him entirely. BROTHER JUST SAY NO 4HEAD

 

[Mr.Oblivion]

I don't see what everyone sees A-san as a yandere. What has she done besides tease him? I feel like she has done the same as him and fallen just because someone was nice once.

 

[DerpyVenom]

Azusa-san, you're being played. you deserved someone with better common sense.

2 manga and 1 doujinshi of the mc and her and he's still actually like a beta

 

[silverpetricof]

Thank you for the translation.

Page 14 (180 on the page):Yeah, it would TOTALLY be wrong to tell the TRUTH because you feel guilty. What an immoral thing to do. Just keep lying.

 

[arlindofrancisco]

A normal guy would just say... i'm helping my friend but it Will be fine in the evening... now the yandere thing would still happen but not like this

 

[Ryomu]

People in here are really overthinking things about MC.

Guys, he's someone that's not accustomed to setting boundaries. I could see him being this inept at scheduling even with male friends. He's not trying to string either along, he is just out of his depth with both girls.

he cannot decide which one to date

He's romantically interested in both in the sense that he is attracted to both (which makes sense, as he they are attractive girls). Unfortunately, as a virgin, he lacks (and knows he lacks) the experience being around girls to know what is friendly banter (as opposed to flirting) and how to set boundaries with girls.
This is not malice, and it does not help that Azusa is all but openly mocking his virginity, throwing off his frame of reference when it comes to another outlier like Ametella.

he could have scheduled better

He doesn't want to disappoint either, because he clearly lacks friends in general, not just female ones. Again, if these were two guys, he probably would still fumble into a double-booking due to not wanting to have Ametello feel alone or Azutaro to become bored of him.
Add on him not knowing if there was a possibility of one becoming a girlfriend or not and of course he's not making the objectively best decisions. He doesn't even know that Ametella is a yandere.
Again, he did what he could, and Azusa threw a wrench in everything by showing up outside of the scheduled time (which goes against those saying "just set boundaries" because she clearly broke an existing agreement, but one so minor that barring her entry would have been the unreasonable action).

The point of a drama is that someone cannot handle a situation optimally due to a flaw. Anger issues, greed, over-ambition, etc were the flaws in Greek tragedies. Here, it is inexperience and a desire to please everyone involved. Unlike us, he doesn't have the benefit of seeing the entire story, or to pause for 15 minutes to think up a solution between turning a page.

Man MC kinda trash. He two timing but not being honest to himself

 

[KuroganeRiku]

As much as i dislike the MC for being a wimp, i don't hate him like some others MC's (Looking at you Kazuya) i think it would be best for Amatella to step down and settle with being just mc's bestie since mc's character will only develop if he's with Asusa.

Even if its in a subtle form sometimes, Asusa appears to care a lot about MC and want him to stop looking down on himself but instead of saying it ou loud an comforting him she's showing it with her actions and provoking him, forcing mc to be more assertive with what he wants, instead of just leading him and hindering his growth as a person.. mc needs Asusa and Amatella needs MC, but Amatella will only get hurt if she starts chasing a half baked man that is barely honest with himself. As much as Amatella is cute and lovely it would demand a lot of commitment from the mc to give the affection and care that she needs to grow up as a person and rn that's impossible for him.
