read this in an already opened tab in mrm thinking it was completed now i have to suffer waiting.

just reread the 3 chapters and yakumo's duality is indeed hitting. it's doing things to me

why is this man coming off as cute? huh? even during when he "transformed" i thought it was adorable.

i need help

i know irl this would've been so creepy and wrong but reading this it looks and feels so cute. if any naive kids are reading this, be safe out there! don't ever think having a stalker who invades your home is good

(but he's basically a harmless helper atp, i dont blame yall for wanting a stalker like this)

hm just gonna say this. what's up with people immediately jumping to root for the second guy though? to preface, as I've previously mentioned, I don't mind them both.

yachiyo did nothing wrong. he saw he had no chance, he "moved on". it's understandable it's hard for him to continue pursuing a friend who "doesn't like him back". if anything, it was touji that took long to realize his feelings. not blaming him for that, but doesn't the fact that touji also tried to "move on" because he "can no longer pursue" a friend he liked the same as what yachiyo had done? if people dislike yachiyo for that and not touji then it's very hypocritical.

if people are only rooting for kiyoto cause "you shouldn't always end up with your first love, they're a thing of the past" or simply because he's the second lead then that's really shallow imo.

it's very clear that yachiyo and touji still have feelings left up in the air, if they don't resolve that, it'll obviously be just pain for kiyoto. and what other method could they do to resolve it? by facing each other. but they still like each other and *SPOILER ALERT* yachiyo is now divorced and free. the only reasonable outcome for that would be for them to find each other again.

if yachiyo didn't have feelings anymore or touji ended up truly liking kiyoto rather than a rebound then yes kiyoto would have been a great endgame. but with the circumstances, it's hard to see that being a good ending.

shiina's reaction to everyone confused, i dont think sensei means first love as in romantically. pretty sure author just worded it that way to be dramatic and misleading. we see in the next scenes how he see the family as his saviors and they gave him hope, literally his first instance of feeling genuine love from people around him. that's also why he's shown to work hard and want to repay them

hmm now now i know there's some unresolved stuff that should've been better approached but i think people are hating kana too much? he did selfish things and i do wish he was more apologetic about them but it wasn't really as bad as people think. a lot of it is attributed to the fact that the translations are wonky, even the translator admitted that they have mistakes in translating. basically yall got fed with direct mistranslations and ran along with it...

first, kana do think naho is average looking yes. it isn't a diss. despite naho looking normal, he's still the cutest to him.

second, he never insulted naho for being insecure. kana wanted to confront him because naho was saying he was fine doing the origami but it was obvious he was forcing himself to say that. that's why kana is saying it's hard to believe what naho is saying because he isn't saying it with confidence.

third, kana doesn't know about the things being said about naho by other people. the only instance shown is when he said naho looks normal - and that conversation was just his friends asking him about naho. he even kept insisting that he doesn mind naho being around and even got angry when naho was being called a joe shmoe - it was subtle but he was reinforcing that naho had a name.

also albeit it potentially him being also jealous, he also reprimanded that other guy a lot when he was bothering naho. there was never an instance where kana full on faced or saw naho being bullied and him never saying anything about it.

the only thing kana should be ridiculed about is how his reassurance for naho and way of dispelling the negative misunderstanding was very lacking. that's literally all.

personally don't think the process itself was rushed. it was conveyed pretty well early on that kana has been overprotective and naho was misunderstanding some things but i guess those nuances were lost because of the translation (still massive thanks to the translator for taking this on). translation (esp the notes) also played a part on how the words were perceived by the readers so it affected the progress for the readers in some way. doesn't help that at this point naho was already perceiving everything with a more negative light.

i do think that kana shouldn't have touched naho immediately during their "confrontation" and did better in quelling the misunderstanding. would've also been better if he was more apologetic about it - yeah yeah i know it wasn't his fault but more reassurance and feeling bad about it would've made him appear more genuine. especially that naho misunderstood him about him saying he's average and took it negatively. and he kept teasing him about the misunderstanding all the while making naho cry more... i liked the angst but never do that again!

but more importantly, THIS IS MY KIND OF ANGST. THIS IS RARE. I WANT THIS. GIVE ME MORE OF THIS. I read this thinking I may have co-wrote this since it hits all my preferences so much

im crying, why's he blaming kazuma for his own idiocy? i mean sure he was young and naive and did that to feel included in noah's world but that was your own fault hello? kazuma catching strays

kaji moves and finds someone else, the end.

just kidding. also him dreaming about his childhood, he'll probably meet his mom or granny at least in this arc. though idk how that will happen cause I just searched and okinawa and hokkaido are apparently 2000km (6h travel) apart lol

oh.... i like this one too lmao
