Ueno-kun wa Kaihatsuzumi - Ch. 53 - The Counterattack Begins

[Seraph_Dalgon_]

Ueno my son, my goat. You couldn't pay me believe this where we'd end up from chapter 1 but here we are and I love it.

 

[Korut]

Boring. Get me off this ride, I give no shits about bozo or his slut ex.

Ueno going out of his way in this particular manner means nothing to me. A proper man would've settled this in a more direct manner. Not by some random tennis game that will mean nothing. You lot really think bozo is gonna respect the result of the match?

If he is as big a scumbag as he appears, we're just in for filler chapters and a waste of time.

 

[pataponaccount]

Sexual abuse from his bullies aside, Ueno's actually got balls.

 

[ss4chris]

I think ive seen how this goes in other series. I hope im wrong

 

[jrocker]

Chisaki will neuter a group of 4. I also have a strange feeling that the tennis match will end with the guy getting hit in the nuts or the face and showing himself as disgustingly ugly that he hid

 

[Dipuc4Life]

I hope Chisaki doesn't just fuck them all ... well unless she's the one doing the pegging. Y'all know she a freak FREAK so it's NOT out of the realm of possibilities. And yes, she is very capable of defending herself but 4 vs 1 are not odds that I like. No matter how good you are just one sucker punch and it's all over. Still she's a MASSIVE S so ... bend over boys.

While I do like the purpose of this arc, I can't wait until we get back to Ueno interacting with his bullies as before, especially Chisaki and Tsubomi. Chisaki's conflicted feelings over Ueno and Tsubomi seeing Ueno as a friend which makes her feel guilty about her bullying. Those are the storylines I want to see a continuation after this arc.

While I do want to go back to those too, I'm actually perfectly happy with this arc being a bit longer. Beyond just exploring Manaka's character more, I think there's a lot to be said about how Ueno himself can grow from helping her solve her issues.

Her past seems to remind him of his, and in helping her accept who she was, and more importantly who she is now and how she is not solely defined by her sexual desires, Ueno can further come to accept those aspects of himself and integrate them into the person he wants to be.

He's already made some progress in this regard, but in confronting someone with similar desires he might be able to accept that there's nothing wrong with them. Because if he doesn't look down on Manaka for hers, why should he look down on himself for his own?

I think this arc may well lead to the ultimate conclusion that, yes, Ueno and Manaka are Ms, but there's nothing wrong with that, and it doesn't mean they don't deserve the same respect and treatment as anyone else. Manaka and Ueno can and deserve to have both their sexual and emotional needs be met by their partner rather than needing to choose one or the other.

And it also directly shows Chisaki in a better light by having her acknowledge just how scummy Manaka's ex is, which may well lead to her eventually attempting to fix her relationship with Ueno (though that would likely be at the end of the manga).

Honestly, I think I generally rate this series higher than most reading it, mostly because I genuinely think it has some interesting and thoughtful writing underneath all the fetish content, so I'm rarely worried about "NTR" and whatnot.

 

[zeroto7dan]

its time for d-d-d-duel!

joke aside, the result of this match doesn't matter, ueno just have lock-in and show his resolve to manaka.

 

[textadventure]

It's on! I always wondered what it'd be like if The Prince of Tennis had more kinky sex stuff.

 

[darkaura]

Why does the other group think they they deserve a refund on their travel expenses?

 

[trapesiumz]

girl in the hat so precious

 

[Wetto_]

so the other guys are confirmed weirdos that willingly associate with and cheer on sexual assault coercion and all that shit

and they just let her walk away with them all alone? and he agrees to a freaking tennis game over the wellbeing of his girl friend and the very real possibility (dude said it himself) of her being raped...

Chills.

you still forget that she wants it

Yes, I don't expect an arc dealing with Manaka's programming, her confession to Ueno, the ex coming back into the picture and Ueno's determination to protect his friend be a short one, so a long arc like this one is fine by me. Like I mentioned before, I do like the purpose of this arc, and I do want to see how this arc will change Chisaki, Ueno, and Manaka.

I also did mention before in a previous chapter discussion that Ueno and Manaka are kindred spirits and if Ueno managed to help Manaka to defeat her programming, then it will feel possible for Ueno himself to do it. Ueno accepting his perverted side is something I do expect end of series with him breaking his programming will just allow him to have vanilla sex without any issues. I don't think Ueno will get that idea this arc as I think he will double down in trying to dispel his perverted side once Manaka and Ueno admit the truth to one another.

girl in the hat so precious

Well she is best girl after all and she feels so bad about how she treated ueno. To make up for it she needs to marry him and give him 3 kids.

 

[kaZeTenShi]

our boy may be in some trouble

Kinda hope Manaka will fight this battle herself. Because iirc she's an actual tennis player herself. Idk what Ueno is thinking

 

[Sloth295]

our boy may be in some trouble

wait until he brings up Seigaku jersey he kept in secret

 

[drunkmuggle]

I like how Tsubomi actually regrets how she treated Ueno in the past. I'm still rooting for her the most

 

[phorx]

Ueno already kind of won by being seen to step up… that said I kind of want Ueno to lose miserably. This isn’t his fight in the first place.

The ex guy… I don’t actually know what he is thinking. Nobody will be impressed if he wins, it’s just bullying the weak, and if he loses or it’s even somewhat close it will be humiliating. There’s no upside.

All part of the emo mindset, man.

Maybe Riku expects his performance against Ueno will help remind Moka about how cool the old Riku used to be. As long as Ueno honors the rules if he loses(doubt), in Riku's mind, nothing should stop him in making Moka his programmed woman once again after some sweet talk.
