Watashi no Kokoro wa Oji-san de Aru - Ch. 11

[Aldis]

cant wait for the boy to grew up have crush on him and then pin him down and s/he will be like "?????????"

TBH, I'm kind of disappointed. He doesn't represent his age at all. don't get me wrong, I know he's kind of an introvert and doesn't really like socializing with others, but hey, at least he should've mature enough to deal with his own problem, right? I don't mind he's running away, and honestly sometimes I also feel that way, but at least stop acting like a maiden that was about to have her first time.

Ur a dude, bruh. man up and say things straightly. since he's an adult salaryman (white collar worker in japan) I expect him to at least keep his composure even if he was shaken in front of others, but well. I can't have much to complain since it's basically his first time to have that kind of friend in real life..😅

Not gonna deny the maiden part but mental illness isn't easy to overcome nor it's easy to "man-up" about. Never adopt that mindset on other when you're not a psychiatrist because it WILL make problem worse

This part was push forward from the web novel, it's kinda sudden but not that much out of place.

Mangaka draw her way too cute tho lol

As someone who has autism, I relate to this guy's problems a lot. I've had plenty of relationships that ended up the way that guy's did.

You don't have to be a 'maiden' to be socially incompetent. Plenty of men could be put in the situation and act exactly the same way. Social anxiety is a bitch.

I love this chapter, so much character development for mc, her past live was living with a mask, and in this chapter, it feels like she's slowly opens her mask or open her true self should I say...

 

[hullmat991]

On one hand I like that the manga added extra details on MC's prior life; however I do feel that the WN handles the pacing for this bit as a whole much better.

 

[Twi]

I get the mc is socially inept, but his issues derived from his environment and those closest to him failed him repeatedly. Everyone needs someone to talk to.

His girlfriend annoyed me so much, she was so close to getting him to come out of his shell. But then she just gives up, “you don’t like me” putting words in his mouth and not asking the real questions. He felt sad but if I was in that situation I’d end it with her just the same from being pissed. I couldn’t tell if he was sad because he’s the problem or because his efforts however small were completely disregarded by her and decided once again, what’s the point in trying? I only hurt those around me. Talk it out ask him what’s on his mind, actually try to get to know him. Make it a point to ask what he wants/likes. What did she expect if her level of understanding him was at such a shallow level. Relationships require communication, not being one sidely talked at.
I can’t help but laugh at the overused phrase “I don’t know what your thinking”, no one knows what anyone’s thinking.

I would have loved it if at the moment she said I don’t know what your thinking, he walks back after retrieving a present and tells her “I was saving to give you a present, sorry you felt that way. I didn’t know you wanted me to do things for you. I thought it was enough being in each others company and having fun. I also didn’t know what you are thinking about.”

This really hit too close to home for me. 😩

Anyway, i love that author spent a chapter humanizing MC more.

 

[TheLaidBackMan]

Ahh, I know this old man's feeling. I also think the same thing as this old man. When I was still young, I thought being kind was correct, but the more I grew up, the more I knew that society doesn't want a good guy but a good masking person.

I still remember when I reported a problem child, the teacher was not happy at all. Now I become an adult, I know the teacher just doesn't want more work.

But ironically, I just know about this truth when I work in society. It has been too late for me to change myself. Though changed a little, I don't think that I can change completely.

Well, I also knew the hard truth by myself as the one getting bullied.

Telling the teacher, they just tell me to ignore the bullies.

Telling my mother, she said to just fight them back, yeah sure, let me fight back those 10 kids ganging up on me.

Knowing I was on my own, I keep silent about it and ignoring the bullies, sure they slowly leave me alone but the side effects is I became a loner.

I could hardly tell someone is my 'friend' as in my eyes they're just my classmates, in the end I could hardly remember someone's name, face, or even address.

It's either I remember their names but not the face or vice versa, to this day I still asking my mother where's one of the neighbors house is every time there's something.

Yep, another point to the tally of "every anime protagonist has autism".

I actually really liked this chapter. Being able to honestly compliment someone like haruka does here is something I've been working on for years, and i like how it was done here. It feels real.

You think this is autism? Lmao. This is just childhood neglect, and the consequences of that. What makes you think this is autism lmfao. Bro has no ticks, he pretty much lives like a normal person, his mentality isn't too exotic either... You're just saying shit man. His only """problem""" is that he's very withdrawn and doesn't really know how to talk to people. And guess what? Thats what happens when you can't talk to your parents as a kid, because thats when he should've been taught that stuff.

 

[ispcizero3rd]

I think ppl complaint because they didnt feel that way.

But im not complained since i felt the same way as the charcter. Heck, might say that i almost have the same circumstances. Having one of my parent kind but both busy and currently being a single kind parrent that my parent as usually really affect my personality.

Recently i just got hired at construction company as one of its project staff and kind put me a bit ofd from my personality since that asked me to lie especially about the money in progress. Im kinda having hard time to interact too.since ppl around me quite... crude.


I Always being taught to act kind as and spare some dime to give poor at street for alms. But being hopped to the society is somehow testing my view on what and how should i act.

Even my office mate called me being innocent.

What a silly chapter🫤. At least we are finally done reading about this old man's prior life's emotional damage. If it made sense, and if it was delivered with proper timing and emotion, I wouldn't have minded it. This just felt like they forced his depressing past together just to get some pity from us. He had "kind" parents? Parents that are too busy to even listen to your worries are kind? 😑. His past life was buried in books with almost no human interactions. This life, he was forced into human interactions and books aren't a part of his life either. He suffered from modern day mental illnesses, but he's no longer ABLE to live that kind of life! Being thrown into this otherworld should've been shock therapy for him! Instead, we got a moping, brooding elf? Lis, this whole chapter was just silly😅.

Everyone here always complains: "why does this have genderswap? it doesn't come up at all after the first chapter"

But now when it's a significant part of the character development, there are still complaints.

This was a good chapter.
