>it's a HaruYuki sleuthing chapterNoice
>Starting from Part 4, due to scheduling conflicts with the commercial serialization, the main story will be updated once a month.What a fucking disaster.
>>282098847You best be joking.
>>282098853I wanted to post a snapshot from xitter, but don't wanna do it in the middle of the dump
Best girl is making a comeback
>>282098910Holy jumpscare

>>282098847>>282098970what the fuck
>>282098970you have decent art and a decent story, why can't you just not fuck shit up?
The ln says Yami stopped coming to school and deleted her LINE info. Hikari comes to school, but is being the shadow of her former self.
>>282098970People of Earth, send Yom your energy!The rerelease version is getting a chapter tonight/tomorrow, presumably chapter 24. Recently they've been every 2 weeks, but we'll have to see if that changes too.https://comic-walker.com/detail/KC_006293_S?episodeType=latest
I WAITED 3 MONTHS FOR YAMI AND THIS IS WHAT I GET?
>>282099160>Haru POVInterdasting.I didn't predict the friends hunting down Yuu for answers if the main three were all stuck in a funk, but it makes some sense.
>>282098847WHAT
I couldn't care less about these two bitches.>>282098982Pretty much. Who cares? Don't fucking distract us from the meltdown.
https://x.com/bunko_dengeki/status/1963897562127294938A short promo of the manga official release with Eriri cheering for Hikari. Hikaribros... this is not looking good...
>>282098847Author is selling out. I saw this coming but I was coping about it.
>>282098910I can't believe this bitch is still around. I thought Yuu had told her to fuck off? lmao.
>>282098814Your brain is porn-rotten. They are high schoolers with no boyfriends. Of course they would wear plain underwear.
>>282099335Spencerbros...
Wasnt there a side chapter showing that the twin tail girl isnt actually into him and just wants to make him fall for her since he didnt pay her any attention, kind of like medaka kuroiwa
>>282099927Something like that:https://mangadex.org/chapter/8c707d60-70c4-48b8-96b2-ab26be410d07
>>282099122dude it's literally free. beggers can't be choosers
>>282099160>Hikari comes to school, but is being the shadow of her former self.All she had to do was just accept Yuu’s confession, but no. She had to be a retard. Hope she learns her lesson
>>282098662delicious haru tanlines
>>282098814I think it's just that his art is the most unerotic thing I've seen in a while.All girls look like unsexy creatures...
>>282098847it's over
>>282100556>All she had to do was just accept Yuu’s confession, but no. She had to be a retard.She did the right think you stupid shit
TL out. Dumping
>>282100916
>>282100934
>>282100863Then why is she depressed and the shadow of her former self?
>>282101139
>>282101171
>>282101141She literally discovered in the same day that her best friend had dated the man she loved and still is in love with him and the same goes to the man she loves. But her best friend was a bitch with her and went full retard mode. Are you retarded?

>>282101356
>>282098847they completely blew their load with the initial fakeout premise, it's been running out of steam meandering ever since the big reveal.
>>282100763You're gay
>>282099146Greed.
>>282100263They're not gonna fuck you
>>282099663Hikari is going to avenge her.
>>282101250Where did her stockings disappear?
>>282098847>monthly for 14 pageswhy are they such lazy bum? this soap opera doesn't really seem like it'd need that much brain power.
>>282101483I'm not the one batching about the release schedule of a free manga/ln
>>282101396There was no fakeout premise. Yuu and Hikari are still the main couple. JP media moral law is ironclad, all you can do is accept it.
>>282098831oh the senior bitch got angry
>>282098910oh no
>>282098651Ass flatter than my local roads
>>282101731accurate japanese ass then

>>282100934Dem tanlines>>282101280>his smile and optimism: gone>>282101375In the raw this says "third woman" specifically, btw.
>>282102750I'm the first guy to defend the translator but damn what a fumble
>>282101396No, the YamiYuu arc was peak hype, and that came after the reveal. People only got impatient with the befriending arc, and IMO that ended up rushed as a compromise.>>282101528Pretty sure the artist's QoL is the bottleneck.
>>282098910>Gets ghosted by the menhera after fucking her brains out too many times>Gets rejected by his osananajimi out of jealousy for him banging the menhera>Immediately begins plowing prime kouhai pussyTHAT'S WHY YOU'RE MY FUCKING BOY, YUU!
>>282101298kek why did she suddenly get angy
>>282103190Because here is what she believes to be the source of contention in her friend group. She is, of course, correct, but that contention is through no fault of Yuu's. Unlike those retards on reddit and mangadex, everyone on this board understands that Yuu has done absolutely nothing wrong besides be a little insecure.
>>282103190because she's angry about the hikari/yami situation and also because yuu is actually pretty hot. the chances that Haru and Yuki end up in play as harem girls has radically increased
>>282103249>Unlike those retards on reddit and mangadexthe people (one in particular) bending over backwards to paint Hikari as some perfect infallible character are just exhibiting the mental gymnastics (and/or cognitive deficiency) that I mentioned earlier in previous threads. They place all the blame on Yuu for daring to move on from Hikari.
>>282103190The circumstantial evidence points to a love triangle of some sort. The novel version has a bit more of Haru's thoughts earlier that didn't make it into the manga.Massaged Google TL:*****"Yeah, I can't believe she dumped childhood-friend-kun.""She didn't seem like that when he came to our class (maid cafe).""So... something happened between the two after that.""Something... like what?"Really, like what?When her boyfriend came to our class's cafe, they both reacted so innocently, and it seemed like they were connecting with each other...What kind of sudden developments happened in just the next few hours?...Well, just one thing does come to mind.I definitely don't think it's the case. There's one factor, and it's a one in ten thousand chance, that might be related, but..."Plus, Aya-chan hasn't even come to school in a while...""Ah! You're going to say that? You're going to say it!?""...Hey, do you think these two are connected?""I don't want to think so!""Of course you do!"I was trying so hard to be vague, but Yuki blurted it out, so I'll say it.Ever since that day... when the smile disappeared from Hikari's face and the words disappeared from her mouth...We haven't seen Aya once."Those two were so close...""Maybe a little too close..."I don't know how her boyfriend is related.But Hikari and Aya's closeness...or rather, "too-closeness", felt like it was a little dangerous.How should I put it, Aya seemed to be dependent on Hikari, and Hikari, perhaps sensing that aura around her, seemed to be a bit too devoted to Aya.But even so... Aya wasn't jealous of Hikari falling in love with her childhood friend, and in fact, I think she was the one who supported her the most out of all of us.And yet now...Aya continued to skip school, deleted her LINE ID, and completely disappeared.
>>282103535It was hilarious reading the MTL versions of the Yuu chapters, and after every one seeing them be like "This doesn't Yuu any favors" despite them all making it clear how utterly oblivious Hikari was to the feelings and concerns of someone she claimed to be her best friend. And as far as I read, those dumbasses didn't even recognize that his second heartbreak being that Hikari didn't even give a fuck about going to the same high school as him and then her basically saying "Hey, what college you going to? I wanna go to the same one" in chapter 5 was a clear sign that he was completely correct that she had zero romantic interest in him until recently and any confessions would be utterly shot down.
>>282098910>Calling Kouhai best girl
>>282103675>But even so... Aya wasn't jealous of Hikari falling in love with her childhood friend, and in fact, I think she was the one who supported her the most out of all of us.I think deep down, had Yami realize earlier that ta-kun and Yuu were in fact one in the same earlier. She would have crashed out on Hikari sooner. I mean she crashed the fucked out when she physically saw Yuu move on.
>>282103190>>282103675Haru's thoughts when she actually confronts Yuu are shorter:*****Before she knew it, Yuki's gaze had returned from her smartphone to the school gate.And there... there, sure enough, was the face of the boy in the smartphone image, together with Hikari."That guy...""Eh? Wait, Harucchi?"Until I got here, I'd been completely pulled along.To be honest, I thought going this far was completely unnecessary and meddling.But the moment I spotted the boyfriend, my feet naturally moved forward.Because, even I...Worry about Hikari...And want to protect the friendship between our group of four."Hey, you...""Eh...?""Takamura, Yu, right?""Um, um... are you perhaps Hikari's...?"The boyfriend's gaze wasn't on my face, but on my body... my uniform.Well, I guess he didn't remember my face, after all.But who cares about that?"Do you have a moment to talk...?"Just as I stepped forward, seemingly annoyed..."Huh? Yu-senpai, who is that woman?""S-Seki?!"A cute girl with black twintails suddenly came in from behind the boyfriend."The third woman has appeared!!!"At that moment, Yuki and I both screamed at the same time.I think there was something like "Gabiin!" written in the background.
>>282103934I wonder how early on it would have to be for Yami to decide to slip into Yuu's bedroom dressed in lingerie and make Hikari listen as she reclaimed him.
>>282103990>Until I got here, I'd been completely pulled along.>To be honest, I thought going this far was completely unnecessary and meddling.>But the moment I spotted the boyfriend, my feet naturally moved forward.Yeah, that's the way I imagined it too. But the switch in the manga felt too sudden and awkward, in the previous page she was still making funny faces
>>282104044Yeah, I also thought the novel version by itself didn't make her look as angry as the manga.
Why does he keep absolving Hikari and Yami's issues, but insists that Yuu is evil?
>>282104241No idea who this is but thinking Yuu is in the wrong at all in this situation is the mark of a brainlet, so it's best to just ignore
Did the Yuu chapters ever confirm if he did try to look for Yami?
>>282104241>yuu was never gonna tell hikari about it if she didn't see themI can not wrap my head around these people wanting Yuu to just full on fucking blast Hikari with both barrels. Aya was the one who forced that kiss on him, completely fucking up his headgame, and it would have been such a dick move to traumadump on Hikari, who he has no idea saw that bit of theater, and who was very clearly gearing up for a romantic confession when she brought him into that storage room.
I feel bad for Yuu. The dude has LITERALLY DONE NOTHING WRONG.
>>282104368Nope. He was looking for Hikari. Which makes people blaming him for "looking for Yami" stupid as fuck
>>282098910To be honest down to fuck like Yami but not as mentally ill as Yami is a good combo
>>282104368Yuu: “The fireworks festival’s tomorrow, how’s your schedule?”Yuu: “Yami-senpai, where are you right now?”Yuu: “Is something wrong? Did I do something?”My LINE message history with her ends right there.And she didn’t even read my last message.That’s how, after about half a year, my connection with Yami-senpai was suddenly severed.I really thought—this time—it was love that had come true.I thought, for the first time, my feelings had been returned.I still have no idea what I did to touch Yami-senpai’s nerve.And at this point, finding out what circumstances or changes of heart she might have had would be nearly impossible.Of course, it’s not like I just passively accepted being dumped one-sidedly.After summer break ended, I went several times to the train station nearest her school—Hikari’s school, too—but I never saw her.Once, I even spotted Hikari and hid in a panic, but in the end, I never caught sight of that distinctive braided hair—or of the short-haired figure she must have become.From autumn through winter, after we lost contact, I kept turning it over in my mind.
>>282104380He's a bit too passive, but by and large he's just been getting unlucky with the mental instability of the women he's interested in.
>>282104380he's just uninteresting
>>282104241It's weird how every chapter they insist that he's the villain, and yet they are constantly proven wrong time and time again. You'd think they'd have learnt by now.
>>282104427>I went several times to the train station nearest her school—Hikari’s school, too—This part is a bit off; he visited the station, but not the school itself. You can tell a bit more easily from the Japanese sentence structure:>何度か、彼女の学校の……つまり陽花梨の学校の最寄り駅まで行った>nando ka, kanojo no gakkou no…… tsumari Hikari no gakkou no moyori eki made itta>Many times, I went to the station nearest to her school... meaning, Hikari's schoolHe's clarifying that Yami's school is the same as Hikari's school.
>>282098847>monthly nowSurely chapters will get longer now, they wouldn't just continue doing 12-14 pages per month... right?
>>282104963A closer English structure would be "I went to her school's... that is, Hikari's school's nearest train station."
>>282105166I want to believe...
>>282101396It’s still good but the release schedule is fucked.
>>282104241You could ask him directly in that same forum he's posting instead of posting a screencap of his post on a different website.
>>282105166Haha
>>282098910>>282101356Would (You) be mad if Seki won? Like, the typical "I don't care what your past are" while sobbing at his chest thing? Then Yuu realizing that she was by his side all this time (when Yami ghosted him, confused and hurt)? Then he walks away from Yami and Hikari?
>>282105852According to her, she's just in it for the chase.
>>282105941It's really not that farfetched a thought that she'd catch real feelings in the way
>>282106127But she already started dating another guy, or at least that's what Yuu told Hikari back in the first volume.
>>282106168Yuu could have lied to spare Hikari’s feelings.
>>282106282He doesn't even know Hikari was aware about Seki.
Again, a threesome would solve everything.Yuu, Yami and Yami's mother
>>282101356Wasn't she Kan?
>>282107114Trannylator used the wrong reading of the kanji.
>>282100556She deserves better than Yami's sloppy seconds.
>>282101280Yuu, a man denies his light.
Yuu deserves some forgiveness. Anyone painting him as a horrible person has never gone through the struggle that is teenage angst/romance.
>>282107838If you're such a fan of dex comments why don't you just start discussing the manga there?
>>282105852isnt that basically the koharu or chiaki route (minus the abandonment/pregnancy scare?
>>282108123Completely different from Koharu except for being a kouhai. Chiaki actually was infatuated with Haruki, she just loved theater even more. Unlike her, Seki is just an attention whore.
>>282108215i mean yeah but im just saying that maruto might turn her into the designated "CC heroine"/third party heroine for yuu
>>282108283Nah, I doubt it's going that way. She has consistently been shown as a shallow girl who is there just for the attention. I don't think Maruto ever made someone like that a heroine.
>>282103837Yeah but he had to hold on until she came around and fall in love with him and stuff!. Yuu is not an individual! No one can walk away from my perfect, good at everything shoujo slop incarnate FMC!
>>282105292Someone did, he just went "naaa, yuu a shit" and ignored it.
>>282104380Well he did nothing period. That's the problem. Can't blame him since Hikari DIDN'T GIVE A SINGLE FUCK about him or his feelings during middle school but he could have confessed and moved on (and let the dense retard figure it out years later) instead of building up this inferiority complex to this degree.
Huh, you don't see a lot of manga getting ads like this. Someone in Kadokawa apparently decided it has potential to go big.
>>282108568You think it will get an anime soon?
Can someone please explain why this series is going monthly instead of the usual biweekly? The serealize version of this story is basically the same with the exception of like five new extra chapters.
>>282107838The worst he is was wishy washy. But then again, being a "d-doushio" kind of romsntic lead never earned any favors for any demographic's romance
>>282108475Yuu is barely a person right now. At least they bothered to get in his head, which is more than we can say for most love interests
>>282108683There are multiple serialisations at this point. Web version of the manga on nicovideo and comic walker, printed LN volumes by Dengeki Bunko, printed manga volumes by Kadokawa. I don't know which one affects the schedule, or maybe all of them do. But it's not just extra chapters on web version, that's for sure.
>>282101356I kneel. My nigga Yuu going for that kouhai pussy after the big drama went down. Way too based
>>282098651
>>282098847>monthly release for a nothingburger chapter with 14 pages or lessShould have realized i was reading the Hajime no Ippo of romcoms
>>282108670Not yet, too soon for that. But now I can at least see it happening at some point.
>>282101280>>282101298You think he looks so hollow from depression after Hikari rejected him.>>282101356But no, he’s just a little tired after railing his kouhai the entire school day, and is steeling himself as he brings her home for another few rounds. No wonder Hikari’s been acting so depressed around her friends, Yuu’s probably been leaving the window open so she has to fall asleep to the sound of him blowing Seki’s back out.
>>282098651yuki my wife
>>282110658..............based
Haru needs a bf. So who wants to volunteer?
>>282101280These are not Hikari's friends. They just get off to her life drama.
>>282105852Seki can't win because she and Yuu are using each other: Yuu as Yami's stand-in, and Seki is just in it for the chase.
>>282112259SNFFFFFFF
>>282114731Bad
>>282113415So they’re friends?
>>282107838The problem with claiming he deserves forgiveness is that it requires he's done anything wrong that needs forgiving.
>>282098651This chapter is ass.
>>282118253Man, I’ve been saying that a while now on mangadex and people still insist that Yuu did something wrong.
>>282107351No, she dragged her feet, sloppy seconds are exactly what she deserves for taking him for granted
>>282118253Letting Yami drag him to a love hotel was wrong if he still loved Hikari. He and Yami just lucked out that he was too nice to get an erection when her heart wasn't in it.
>>282119255Wasn’t Yuu trying to move in from Hikari.
>>282120190No
>>282120190He was still curled up in defeat at the time.
He can't keep getting away with this!
>>282108699>The worst he is was wishy washyWith the way reddit and mangadex users treat him, you would think he was a serial rapist or something.
>>282121848Any info why this is happening
>>282121848Episode 43 better have 43 pages as well
>>282122838The official excuse from >>282098970 is that they're also juggling the commercial versions, FWIW.
>>282121848Why do they need 1 month to write this low iq romance manga? They are 2 people
>>282109208>takes a few seconds to animate with AI>H game devs still use static images in 2025Just... why god, why...
>>282124210Odds are the drawing takes longer than the writing.
>>282124323That animation looks distractingly bad though.
>Tehee if Yuu really loved Yami why didn't he confront her or be more dominant towards her during the relationshipJesus fucking christ, can we please have threads daily about this series? I can't stand the retardation of mangadex users
>>282124614If we run out of fresh conversation, it's probably better for mental health to let it rest till new content drops.
>>282124828No
>>282122125I don't care what beef you have with other sites. He's just a plank of wood
>>282109084Every time he fails with Hikari, he just immediately picks up another girl. You can not fucking keep this man down.
>>282109084>>282126886I wonder how Hikari feel about this.
>>282128223We already know how she feels.>>282110658
>>282124614Have you seen the non-chapter threads we've had this year? They've been ass.
>>282128883>They've been ass.I mean, fuck it, is reddit and mangadex really are only options
>>282129641I mean, you can make a thread if you've got a conversation topic, but it will only stay alive while other people have stuff to say too (or if people necro, but that gets tiring). Sometimes people resort to baiting, but that would defeat the purpose of trying to find better talk here.
Personally, I think having Haru and Yuki make the next move here was clever, and in retrospect I feel dumb for not thinking of it. It makes sense for the main three to be too wrecked to move for a while, and for their friends to get worried and curious enough to try something. Plus it gives them a moment of focus and throws their fans a bone.Probably the reason I didn't foresee it is because I assumed Hikari would fill them in, rather than be too dead inside to explain, and them being too afraid to ask, for once.
>>282130228Yeah, same. I was thinking maybe it would start with Yuu POV, but omake novel made it clear Maruto doesn't want to have it yet, so Haru and Yuki make the most sense even though I didn't even consider them.
>>282121848Those new chapters better be at least 30-40 pages long
>>282132426They had a 3 month long break and the new chapter is still 14 pages. It's not happening.
>>282132687They at least had an excuse for that. They don't even have an excuse this time around
