Whisper Me a Love Song - Ch. 51 - Bewilderment, Lies, and Hesitation.

oh my god dude what the fuck

Ok if the incest arc serves as a seque into a "moving on from her dead gf" arc then the decision to go with incest at all will feel less head-scratching.

I like how the manga began as a fluffier version of Bloom Into You and steadily devolved into Citrus.

wait, i don’t understand what’s going on here. Is Miki loves her sister in a romantic way or she meant someone else? 🤔

- I hope sasakoi won’t be incest. I can accept yuri, but not incest (gomen 🥹)

 

[celstra]

Logically speaking, incest is taboo because of the risk of inbreeding and genetic defects. They both girl, they can't make children when copulate, so there are no risk. It's just a shackles of current societal moral norm. Like how they see same sex relationship ages ago. 🙂

oh no no, she was talking about her other sister who is actually adopted but doesn't live with her and we've never seen before...
Sorry I had to joke about it, like no matter if people are okay with it or not, trying to run away from the truth at this point requires a very stubborn brain.

This series started out so good but I feel like I've lost the plot completely.

Where is your PFP from?

 

[Fibel]

Man, this is so unnecessary. Eku-sensei cooked with the akishiho arc and now we get this? Bruh
I feel like the incest is just here for the instant drama and not a good one.

side character finally gets trait past “main character’s friend”
in love with sister

Is it still considered character assassination if she didn’t really have a distinct identity to begin with?

 

[Zeralyos]

I mean she did kinda have a distinct identity from the start, it just happened to be "constantly fangirls over her sister when given the opportunity"

So I'm not sure why anyone's surprised at these last few chapters

 

[stormwalkers]

Feels like the only reason the incest arc is happening is this is one of those yuris where everyone is a lesbian and them being straight is never a risk or an obstacle when a character likes someone, so the only way the author can portray impossible love is if the other person is dead or a family member.

 

[cinteotl]

detengan el arco norteñooooooo eku sensei detenteee este es un mal recurso literariooo solo hazla hetero 😭😭😭

 

[TheOldDeus]

This new arc aside, I'm surprised the chapter was only 16 pages.

Yeah since the topic of sexual orientation hasn't been touched on at all, it makes me think Miki talking about having a "boyfriend" back in Chapter 6 was a bit of a mistranslation: https://mangadex.org/chapter/807cf0e6-45de-4adc-b94e-521217d4bdc5/19
I'm guessing Miki was using a gender-neutral term for "lover".

It would be odd if Miki previously had a boyfriend and neither Himari or Aki thought they should inform Aya about it when she was consulting them about confessing to Miki: "Not saying you shouldn't confess, but just giving you a heads up that based on Miki's dating history she might not be into girls".

I don't remember what the anime said. It didn't specify?

I had checked it out previously so I'll copy/paste a comment I made on Dynasty forums about it:

"It's at 6:50 of episode 3 if anyone wants to check. Himari uses the term "koibito", which to my knowledge is gender neutral and often translated as "lover". Miki talking about it also sounds gender neutral...but somebody who actually understands Japanese should verify my amateur understanding."

Nobody Japanese fluent ever responded in that thread to help clear up the confusion.

 

[Chikaon]

I enjoy incest stories, but it still feels super out of place in this series 😕

 

[NIPHY]

It's either.... she can't have haji.... or she's talking about kyou

 

[dazedaze1111]

Oh cmon, I've been waiting long for hajimomo arc
