>>270529157>>270529352your toothbrush is right there, I can see it
Normally I would describe this Ojiro's as very subtle and low key. It is frequently love expressed in silent ways. But the past few chapters have just been bursting with tension. I don't think anything else she has written has really ramped up into a climax like this before.
>>270529526>visiting hours are over, so I'm going to head home, okay?The bubble in the spanish volume I bought just fills it with "I have to go"I had to check it because it felt like I speed read.I wonder what the raw says and why the lazy translation there.
>>270533611Maybe they don't have the concept of visiting hours in Spanish hospitals?
>>270529541thanks opsama
>>270533108It’s because Insomniacs in particular has always been more story driven than her other works. We know we’re approaching the end which is why she’s focusing much more on the tension of preparing for college while crossing it with the stress of Isaki’s condition. The final chapters will be a test for our couple as have been the main goal of the final arc.
>>270529541Thank you for posting.

>>270581832It's real.
So, what do we think about this?
>>270587788is she just doing the art or is the story a collab? I bet it will have a ton of cats either way
>>270587848I believe she's just doing the art again unfortunately
>>270575848I meant to dislike the publisher from whom I bought the volume. It's as if they translated from English and simplified everything, the page size is small and it's not cheap.I would never shit the work made by fans even if they deliberately tried to troll me.
>>270569778I find it the sign of great writing when important details are delivered without any emphasis at all, like the author knows you will notice the discrepancy between what magari wants to show in that photo and what he's actually seeing there.
>>270588418Ojiro does this really well throughout her stories. It goes hand in hand with her style and flow.

>>270590684>>270591499It's not for me either, and it's kind of a shame that she's not doing the writing as if anyone _could_ pull it off I'd say it's her

>>270609908He kinda has it coming.
>>270610061thanks op>>270610043holy shit, what a dick. how can't he understand what other people feel especially his gf. like writing literally anything would have been enough
>>270610061Thank you for posting.
>>270612217Poor anon is running out a's...
>>270609983Such violence.
>>270613503>>270613860It’s his habit of bearing so much weight on himself that causes this. It’s less of him not understanding what other people, but him letting this self-deprecation fog his reasoning. If he didn’t understand Isaki’s feelings, he never would’ve even gotten together with her. His ability to care for Isaki and understand her needs/wants is what made her fall in love with him. Now, instead of seeing Isaki’s nails, he sees her in a wheelchair and it’s nailed to him that another woman he loves can possibly leave him, with him being reminded of his mom. While it is a dick move that is big enough to break up over, it’s something that is not really the fault of the writing but of the weakness of the character. In other words, he cares too much that he acts like this. He overthinks and struggles to let the weight off his shoulder to just be there for Isaki.
>>270609983This hurts to look at.
>>270617280yes
>>270621142good take. I do mental health for work and I’ve seen the aftermath of this scenario play out so many times for people. deal with your shit anons, people will lose patience with you awfully fast when you pull bullshit like this (as they should)
>>270624318I agree. I think that’s why this final stretch of chapters are the most important, not only for Ganta but also Isaki and the future of their relationship.
>>270624318>>270625290Agreed, it's frustrating for us as readers, but it's entirely in character for Ganta and I respect Ojiro for having him keep this flaw and thus further humanising him.
ima read
>>270624318>as they shouldI wonder where your come from, it sounds like you work fucking up people minds.
>>270626950it sounds like you enable people and use mental illness as a pass for victimhood to excuse shitty behavior. just because something bad happened to you or you have a mental illness doesn’t magically make your behavior not harmful and does not absolve you from consequence. we can respond to mental illness with empathy and understanding by moderating these consequences (eg I understand why this occurred but this cannot keep happening or we are done) but this is not guaranteed. the victim of your behavior decides whether or not you get that olive branch. and if you’re the person that expects people around you to only say “oh it’s okay that you hurt me, you have anxiety, I understand” forever with no change on your part then you do not want friends, you want enablers, and you should read about codependent relationships and how they are holding you back.
>>270628612I'm not buying your pills doc
>>270621142Completely disagree, this is nothing but lame drama bait. Instead of allowing him to have a natural and logical reaction, he suddenly becomes this aloof loser? His reaction doesn't track given everything that happened so far.And I can see the author smugly peeking at the 4th wall knowing that many wouldn't take well to this chapter. Shit like this reminds me that he made shit like Katekin.
>>270630324>he suddenly becomes this aloof loser?He's being like that forever, I just wish that after so much time of happy relationship he would have healed a little but it seems that he hasn't and he remains the same.

Drama in the insomnia thread.
babump
>>270630324>this is nothing but lame drama baitHow? Did the other time he ran away when the rain crashed the party considered drama bait? What about all the times you can literally see him berate himself for things out of his control and his stress for believing he fumbled getting new club members? Drama bait would be when this comes out of nowhere and is considered completely out of character for Ganta to act this way. It’s an understandable reaction for the type of person he is.>he suddenly becomes this aloof loserThere’s been 3 moments in the entire story he’s been aloof, beginning of the story before he met Isaki, right after the summer trip when he misses her because they were separated because of her parents, and now. Him being aloof now again has to do with Isaki because he feels like it’s his fault. I will never deny that that behavior is selfish for the people around him, but that’s just something he needs to heal from. That’s what other people like Kurashiki and Shiromaru are there for, to help guide him.>he made shit like KatekinIt’s she, and this drama is nothing compared to that dumpster fire. This is pretty average drama while Katekin made me want to rip my eyes out.
I literally can't wait for the next chapter.

Chapter 120
>>270625592We have many moments of Ganta just being an absolute rock for Isaki. But we have been shown cracks throughout the story, particularly when they are dating and he reflects on Haya’s words about the world Isaki lives in. This moment is the culmination of all his flaws and downsides when faced with the now very real possibility that Isaki could have died during the surgery. Him ghosting her was bad but I think him being calm or not overreacting would be worst since we know how he is and he is the most attached to her aside from her family. A guy who thinks it’s his fault his parents divorced is not gonna take it well he thinks he could’ve prevented Isaki from pushing herself too much
>>270648730thanks opsama

>>270648340Jiiiiiiiii~>>270648730thanks, OP
>>270648730Thanks, OP. I think the most important lesson he can learn is that he is not always responsible for other’s shortcomings. He was just a little kid, it’s not fair to judge himself based on what his mom did, which could a result of many different factors. I disagree with his last statement, he has not screwed up what matters the most in this story, which was getting together with Isaki and giving her many precious memories, while also protecting, preserving and allowing the astronomy club to have a legacy. Those two he accomplished, it’s only now that he finds himself needing to truly reflect on how he will conduct himself in the future.

Insomnia
>>270661570and also it's not a relationship breaking issue, i guess. the damage is just that isaki is heart broken and extremely lonely.
>>270663183We also know he has never done any of it out of malice. So all it takes is just a genuine heartfelt apology and the dedication to not repeat that mistake.

sleepy thread
>>270628612I looked up codependency only to discover that it was the aspirations of an psychologist to enter the book of mental disorders.I tried to find a criterion on the concept based on philosophical materialism but I couldn't find it.I reply twenty-four hours later to this post surprised how Google knows what's up and suggests a conference from a quarter of a century ago entitled "Latrogeny: to what extent are psychologists themselves guilty of psychological disorders" by G. Bueno, a subject more alive than ever and that I will have to listen to curiously now.

>>270683956>>270720494>>270720657Hot take, I enjoyed this final arc the most, even more than the Mawaki arc. Without the bit of drama we wouldn’t get these important conversations and it also worked to address the biggest crack in Ganta and Isaki’s relationship (while working to forward their characters), which has been slowly expanding since they got together. As much as I enjoy the highs and fluffs, it’s more important to balance out with the struggles >>270684048. It grounds their relationship and provides much more depth. It’s also responsible for having my favorite spread in the series, which is next chapter!

>>270758711I believe in you, OP.
>>270761307>>270768700Isaki gets some growth too. We see that she basically held an ultimatum over their relationship where she doesn’t want him to treat her like a burden, when in reality, he just worries for her so much without doing so. It’s important for her to let him in and accept that it’s alright that she’s not normal in the way others are, that it’s alright for him to care for her. She views it as him treating her like glass when she had to get life saving surgery. She was being unfair to him even if she was in the right to want to be treated normally. It’s means so much that she acknowledges that.
