Tonari no Kurokawa-san - Vol. 3 Ch. 19 - Crush His ?!?!

[Ditte]

Dude, I know why rivals exist. I'm more so complaining about how the fuck does crazy lesbian rivals even come to fruition considering they literally suck ass from a writing and entertainment perspective. And furthermore, why aren't we getting a gay male love interest for the male MC? We haven't got a legitimately good rival for romances lately unless it's Shoujo because the rest is plagued with annoying lesbian piece of shits. A regular rival works way better than whatever they're tryna cook with this trope.

Now that you mentioned it, in shoujo, the rival is always another male, which is understandable, because it's basically reverse harem situation.

However, in shounen, it's ... been a while since we have male characters as rivals. Not the other annoying archtype: A dude who full of himself, thinking that the girl should fall for him, but genuinely a rival that have decency that could make readers have a base to support him too.

TBH I don't read that much manga, so my knowledge of such scenario is limited, but Adachi Mitsuru's older mangas usually have that rival. As of modern shounen, I ... can't think any, not my memory is reliable.

I think the yandere yuri character is a refusal from mangaka, or EDITOR to make other important male characters in the series. It's the stupid gacha characters argument: No male characters, because male gamers hate them. With the same principle, add more female characters in shounen romcom, and reduce or even don't add any male characters.

Usually, the sole signficant male is the main character, and the other male characters are: stupid friend, horny friend, asshole hindrance, or NPCs. Oh, there are also the cooler best friends that have better romantic story too.

To the chapter:
This manga is really a mine for SD expression.

I'll withhold judgment. I mean, not everyone can mess up writing a lesbian. Just 90% of straight authors in manga. A bit less but not much.

Especially since Love Mav is almost definitely based on the real person. The timeline is tight but this girl is our only suspect for the in-story-mangaka so far. And it would be screwed up but kind of sweet to get out your stress of never being a good match with a treasured senpai who is your taste (but wrong sexuality) by basing a character off them in a hetero story where they find happiness. It'd be playing herself. A disaster of a lesbian matchmaking for her crush. That would be some funny girlfailure.

Unless we go in some mystical coincidence direction, this is a marginally less creepy option than someone a lot older like a relative writing Love Mav, and drawing the fanservice pages. In that case could be about some older relative who looks a lot like the female lead.

Still that's based on no other suspects, not actual evidence.

So I wouldn't put odds to that, but it's an example of how this might not be trash tier storytelling and an unfair stereotype.

She tried her best okay?

 

[Lunkli]

Well, historically, in some places, eunuchs were pretty important people with lots of job opportunities!

[MaCl0wSt]

The facial expressions of this manga are so funny.
Thanks for the chapter!

 

[KeyOfVoid]

Poor Yayoi, she doesn't realise her friend is a yandere possible lesbian

"possible"?

 

[BackAlleyWeeb]

I fucking hate lesbians in straight romcoms so fucking much. Fuck any authors that do this trash trope to only waste time. Why can't it ever be friends on the lookout for each other? gotta have all this dyke shit

 

[Necronauta]

A whole bunch of great faces, love this manga

 

[cloudreadsmangadaily]

Kurokawa is smart but at the same time is dumb

 

[Totemslap]

Top of her class but still dumb as bricks. I love a good gap.

 

[Totemslap]

Kurokawa is smart but at the same time is dumb

<interviewer talks to Takahashi>
So why did you end up adopting?

Haha funny story my wife's best friend was looking for me thinking that I am scum of the earth, I was try to deflect the fact that it was me then my wife shows up and I try to get her not to tell so one thing led to another and she admitted to her that I was the guy she was looking for no real context next thing I know my balls turn into crushed grapes. But hey I got a lovely daughter and wife that supports me along with some pain killers to get me through the day!
