The author trying to whitewash Takae

Are we REALLY retconning how much of a bitch Takae was? I feel like her being a genuine asshole who SLOWLY turned into a good person was a good story trope. Rather than, she wasn't bad, she was peer pressured.

 

[Late_Komei]

So that's why Takae tried to blackmail the MC? Because she's roped into something she originally felt uncomfortable doing?

Huh.

In all honestly, I do like the part of Takae getting excited whenever she makes the MC flustered through her panty shots. However, it does make her look more like a hidden pervert instead of a mastermind schemer.

I can't say I like this chapter overall.

While it's nice to see love given a fan favorite character, I don't think it works. She became a fan favorite because she went from megabitch to Saotome's #2 supporter; she had genuine character growth over the course of dozens of chapters and people ate that shit up.

I think, what could've worked better, is show that she was a genuinely kind individual to her other classmates and that it was specifically the introduction of a boy into the system that made her go into bitch mode. Granted, still wouldn't have been great, but I think I might have preferred that instead of trying to completely undo her original bitchiness.

Yeah, no, this won't fly. The funny thing about Takae is how much of a machiavellic bitch she can be under the hood of the prim class rep. It's a fun dynamic, why ruining it by trying to retcon it?

 

[Skater901]

Agreeing with everyone else that this chapter sucks and ruins Takae's character. Just consider it non-canon.

 

[Doomroar]

I am glad we are not sitting here with our mouths open and swallowing a retcon

You are not pulling a fast one on us!

 

[fireproofemu]

Not only is this unbelievable, is it even necessary? Characters are allowed to change and grow, they don't have to be defined by a single bad deed.

I have very mixed feelings about this chapter. I don't feel like acting as if Takae didn't start as full on bitch is necessary.

 

[planty1122]

Chapter was ass but on the upside, there's at minimum 3 chapters until aoi

I don't know how to feel about this chapter. To be honest the Takae at the beginning of the story has felt off to me. It was hard to believe the girl that pretended to be good would be so open about black mailing someone. So giving in to peer pressure to maintain her social standing makes some sense.

Same, the chapter makes canon Takae's personality shift towards more embarrassed and pervy smoother and more consistent, but I feel like this was executed clumsily. I think that we should let the spin-off guy cook for the time being.

From what I understand, the chapter was intended to show that Takae wasn't as bad as she seemed, she "just" took advantage of a situation to show what was perhaps a fetish, since she did it again in the future for free willing. Perhaps an unnecessary chapter, but it also shows how she has evolved a lot, one of my favorites in the manga
