So the reason of their broke up was his stupid anxiety?

It was a comment on the previous chapter. But I am starting to wonder if Ritsu failed to communicate his intention to break up to Tsuzura.

If he said something like "I think we should stop seeing each other" around the time period it was time to start studying for High School... And she mistook that for him buckling down to study to get into the same High School as her...

Goddamn it. Her thinking they're still dating, but in secret, really does explain all her behavior up to this point huh?

This is possible, it works. I think I prefer if she’s aware of why he broke up with her and is trying to give him space to realise that it only matters what’s between the two of them that matters.


We’ve more or less got confirmation of what it looked like that he’s too serious for his own good and not quite socially developed enough to handle a relationship with outside pressures. Honestly considering he was 14/15? age range at the time that makes sense, first relationship and he’s not that sociable.

I would only be upset if he was a dick in the breakup but that doesn’t seem likely given their relationship currently. They are still growing closer which is good, she seems to be aware of what he worries about and has pretty much helped him along the way. The time at different schools is a justifiable reason for them to have dropped communication for a while, like with MC stressing over lots of little things as he’s done at every point in the series.

Since they’re together again he gets clarity and just needs to come around to, their feelings for each other are all he really needs to worry about.

Thanks for the TL.

I under the same thought process, Tsuzura is aware that they broke up. It might be a crazy assumption but she's not acting like someone who's already in a relationship and acting more like someone trying to win someone over. Even though we only see glimpses, when they were dating, she acted way less flirtatious than she does now. It might just be that she got older so she's more bold.

My sense though is that she understands how Ritsu operates. She knows he ended things for some pretty flimsy reason pushed by outside pressure, and she refuses to accept that outcome. So she's purposely dropping hints and putting him in situations where there isn't necessarily a right or wrong answer. Ultimately what matters is how you feel. And I think Ritsu is starting to grasp that a little bit. One, with him asking her to go see the movie together. And two, reaffirming that he wants to go with her: Lets buy every flavour of popcorn.

Thanks for the translation!

Yeah. The series would be way weaker if she were operating under some assumption they were merely 'on a break' or something, or if they broke up only because she was going to a different school.

Ritsu's core issue is he's too serious, and that dovetails jnto being too anxious about knowing what's right or wrong in any given context—which is exactly the sort of thing that would land him in trouble in social situations with no easy obvious answer.

He broke up with Tsuzura because he thought it was "correct" to not hirt his senpai by 'having her date someone so awkward and clearly beneath her'. Tsuzura accepted at the time, but didn't agree with it....but because she was also graduating, she let it go, and now that they're at the same school, she's pursuing him again because she obviously still likes him, as she always has.

Your point about her constantly putting Ritsu in situations where there's no "right answer" to the scenario she presents is a great insight. It lines up with pushing Ritsu out of that comfort zone of his, allowing him to build confidence by learning to simply take action without being paralyzed about the "right or wrong answer" to a situation, and in the process gets her closer to him and lets her show him all the ways their time together and that he still matters to her.

Yes more, keep up the momentum!!! Don’t back down! Please for the love of all humanity don’t pull the “MMC backtracking out of some twisted sense of being considerate” trope

off the wall theory: Tsuzura has a twin sister (also a Tsuzura) who heard all about her sister’s boyfriend and when they broke up for legitimate reasons she decided she wanted to see what Ritsu was all about. So she’s not telling him he dated her sister and letting him be mistaken on his own so she can mess with him (in the flirty way)

Nah, we saw last chapter she has a gyaru big sister who behaves the way Tsuzura (Sana-chan~) acts now. She's copying her big sister. Sana-chan knows her Pokémon, she knows Gyaru-type moves are strong against Bookworm and Otaku.

Probably. He broke up with her because he probably kept hearing they didn't match.

I would bet as upset as she would have been when the break up occurred she clearly knows him well enough to know it’s a complex matter that has nothing to do with him not caring about her.

Anxiety like that when dating can be real but man this one is an extreme for sure.

Put me in for: "mean girls trick the protagonist into thinking she's broken up with him", guv'noh.

Really? I'm as tired of them as the random guy hits on the fmc chapter while they are out on a date.
