Yankee JK Kuzuhana-chan - Ch. 259 - Just Us on the Beach

[dimox]

Man I don't like this. :/ I think Takae is gonna make things worse with this.

Indeed. Shows that emotions can overpower even calculating minds like hers.

Thing is, she already screwed up big time by rushing it. No matter what she does, the result is likely worse. If she stops herself it would increase his confusion. If she kisses him in that state then all the more. He's clearly not ready for it. It could also be that he puts his hand between their lips to gently stop her from making this mistake. Or let her do it, because he doesn't want to upset her but that's not a good result either.

The correct way would have been to further talk to him, listening to what he has to say, and if necessary slowly make him tell her what she already knows. If I were Kasumi here, I would even go so far and assure him that Yuna means business. Why? Because honesty is the only way to settle this - Kasumi is well known as a schemer, so she needs Hodaka to believe her words without a shred of doubt. He'd probably ask how Kasumi would even know that Yuna is serious - and that's the right time to gently lean on him and say:

How could I not, you oblivious idiot ("Baaaka")...? Because I am dead serious myself. I love you, Hodaka.

In that moment it would have a positive meaning to go for a kiss. I'd kiss him on the cheek at first to show him I'm sincere and not playing my usual tricks here. Or maybe use my hand to make him look me in the eyes, then tell him, that I want to kiss him. After that I would look at him and if he doesn't flat out refuse or run away, I'd kiss him for real. Depends on the situation.
Lastly I would launch a nuke and tell him that the other girls also like him. That would utterly destroy the status quo and create a new one where he knows and only two girls confessed (three if we include Makoto). At the very least I would ensure he cannot pretend to be ignorant any more. I'd also tell him that I'm ready to be hated by everyone as long as he believes me.

Anyone having pity for harem kings? These guys need alone time!

 

[CrimsonSix]

The blushing is almost constant in this series. It's almost pathological.

 

[Ryuga05]

I wonder how many more girls will get their before the Heroine herself gets a taste. 😓

 

[Asheron]

When it's best girl Takae, you gotta be receptive and use your tongue. Otherwise, no hope for this herbivore MC.

 

[Gutter86]

Everyone make your predictions, will

They get interrupted

Kiss only the cheek

He chickens out (which is honestly completely justified this time takae is committing sexual assault)

Boyo begins his villain arc and becomes a gyaru-oh.

 

[MidnightTide]

That is messed up, she knows that the kiss messed him up and she is just going to add to it. Main girl knew he needed alone time and not having a dozen girls gooning over him.

 

[elittio]

Is the mc with Kuzuhana-chan already?

 

[1986ctcel]

I've said it before, but Hanako cares about him first, not her own feelings. That's what makes her a winner.

No that's what makes her cringe, screw the annoying self-sacrificing heroines giving up their own chance at happiness for some boring blank slate protagonist and then either getting rewarded for it or (if they're a childhood friend) getting predictably screwed over for it.

Honestly though he's completely right to move away. Takae is sexually assaulting him

...........What is with you people and calling every damn seduction attempt by a heroine "sexual assault"

It's just a kiss, the problem is the protagonist is supposed to be a romcom/harem protagonist but he's completely sexless and scared of girls.

Hell he's not even rejecting it, he's just being passive and allowing her to proceed

 

[RajioSalmon]

not gonna lie. I hope at some point in this arc saotome gets approach by a local tanned okinawan ntr onee-san and gets dragged off to her place. it'd give girls a greater call to action and hanako seems like she'd probably enjoy it.

 

[mojo72400]

I love how Hanako knows what make Hodaka tick. Most of the girls never consider how he feels. She's so gonna win.

I'll be surprised & the same time not if Takae doesn't get to kiss him next week.

There's an error in page 7, it's "time to themselves" instead of times.

 

[SomeBoredGuy]

Bruuuuh he needs emotional support you idiot.

And here I thought she was growing.

Hanako and Itachi would never.

 

[someone_boring]

240 chapters - no progress
Last volume - fuck it, let's go

Let's see how it gets interrupted xD

 

[BitterMatte]

She is not going to kiss him. Is clear in last panel. Takae is a mature girl and her reason prevails over feelings .

This guy needs to find Itachi .
She will slap him in the head, give him advice ,add a few jokes to break the bad mood and make him feel better.

 

[albirew]

the hell are you saying takae! he's already denser than a neutron star, don't make it worse!

 

[AnotherDuck]

Most of those characters aren't actually self-sacrificing, nor do they have the level of understanding Hanako has of the MC. They're mostly just stalling because of their own insecurities (or a false sense of security), rather than actually trying to understand the MC and trying to support him in the way he needs them to.

 

[Joka1410]

>main heroine cucked once again

It's Hanakover.

Forcing a kiss on someone who hasn't agreed to it is at best, morally questionable and at worse, full on sexual assault
