And to think, all of this started because Hikari refuse to compromise. And before people insist she did the right thing. Yami no longer goes to school. Meaning her worries about Yami stealing Yuu away was for nothing.

The novel chapter was briefly posted by mistake a couple of weeks ago. Rough massaged Google TL from back then:

>>282806043
God, characters are so ugly with this artist.
Like, faces are good enough but everyone is so thin, Yami is -if I'm not wrong- naked there and she is somehow the most unerotic person I've ever seen. Almost like a fucking dercrepit stick with a woman's head
>>
what is this vtumor avatarfag prattling about?
>>

The relationship still didn't happen so Yami "won".
I won't blame Hikari for not wanting Yami's sloppy seconds (aka Yuu). Especially knowing those two still have feelings for each other.

Except that's a very immature view of what a lasting relationship should be like.

There's trust, and then there's leaving all the fence-mending to your waifu after hurting her. He may think he's guilty as sin and not worthy of begging her for forgiveness, or that trying to explain just sounds like excuses, or that she has every right to never speak to him again. But that's just giving up on the relationship. It's trust that "she'll be fine WITHOUT ME" when she's hurting because of him and may actually be wanting to hear from him.

>t. wizard

That said, he's not reaching out to either girl, but worrying more about Yami is a fair assessment of their histories and support options. If I were him, even if I felt unworthy of both after this clusterfuck, I would lean toward taking muh responsibility for Yami, and that's probably what their friends are worried about.

>>282812294
even if it seems like the characters are trying to tolerate her shit I think it's still good that seems like deep down everyone agreed that it's her fault.
>>
>>282812350
No, only Yuki said that and she's retarded.
>>
>>282812391
Haru's reaction to that seems more like a denial
She couldn't even refute Yuki's reasoning properly and just told her to shut up
>>
>>282812439
Haru ended up thinking everyone's at fault.
>She couldn't even refute Yuki's reasoning properly
What reasoning?
>>
>>282812472
>>282809382 here
Yuki basically is saying Yami already knew pretty early and Haru seems to noticed it too but didn't want to admit it
>>
>>282812525
Which doesn't make it her fault.
>>
So what's the endgame for this series?
>>
>>282812543
But it literally does. Yuu and Hikari only found out during the festival. Yami had months.
>>
>>282812543
She knew about Ta-kun being Yuu early and not doing anything about it isn't her fault? Well okay then.
>>
>>282812557
>>282812556
But this is literally what Haru proceeds to describe as feeling of futility and helplessness here >>282809466
>>
>>282812586
Yami had a choice to let Yuu go, instead, she decided to ruin Hikari's plan for confession and let Hikari watch as she kissed Yuu
>>
>>282812600
Did you forget what we were discussing? The subject was whether characters came to that conclusion, not what you personally think about it.
>>
>>282812586
Admitting about it earlier to Hikari would still cause a massive rift between the two, that couldn't be changed, but at the very least it won't be a nuclear explosion like what ended up happening at the festival.
>>
>>282812636
Haru and Yuki don't know what Yami did at the classroom, and Yuu won't say shit to protect her. But that's what happened
>>
>>282812653
If they didn't know what happened in the classroom, they wouldn't understand why Hikari had a meltdown. So they know at least most of that.
>>
>>282809466
Yami is clearly at fault here.
>>
>>282810462
Romance overrides common sense like that type of trust.
If you don't feel that type of irrational worry that is more powerful than your older trust, that is not a romantic moment.

>>
>>282812800

No, again, that's just an immature notion. If you can't trust in your romantic partner that's not a relationship that will last.
He even says he has loved Hikari this entire time and that his relationship with Yami was "licking wounds". Even while with Yami he still wished he could be with Hikari.

It's a Romance manga about highschool students it's not your boring hinge date. And "licking each others wounds" just means they they were two hurt people who found each other, in the chapters where him and Yami are dating Yuu never does anything to suggest that he'd rather be with anyone else other than Yami, stop it with your delusional fanfiction

I'm always down for more warm and fuzzy yuribait. It couldn't fit in the main series release pacing, so I'll take the extra chapter and Yami screentime. (Although maybe it reduces the odds of her showing up again in the near term?)

>>282813743
I would love an anime, but feel like the story doesn't have a good season stopping point yet, assuming the stuff before the twist isn't long enough to fill a whole season by itself. Maybe when the story's done, but that's where the slowing releases bite again.

This is the most alive we've been in a while. We're currently about par with chapter 42 and the Yuu chapter about Yami. The thread for >>282813908 was about par with the other Yuu POV chapters. Earlier chapters got closer to bump limit though, since shit was going down.

Hah, so where are the niggas speaking about Yami being the culprit of everyone and seducing Yuu and shit.
Here, even if he is just trying to be a fair dude, it sounds as if he is too damn protective of her.
Like "being just friends with Hikari" doesn't mean they will automatically want to badmouth Yami but he automatically assumes that and refuses to speak?
Good of him to want to avoid women bullshit gossip but still a shitty choice if he wants to get with Hikari at some point, he is totally remaining neutral which, in this context, it's almost as if directing supporting Yami

Or maybe he talked with Hikari, he had finally his Narita airport train conversation with her, and they decided suspend the confessions to until after save Yami
And of course, Yami will screw up all again like Kazusa did in the airport

At least they definitely knows Yuu passed by Yami bed, and hearing all his story about Yami being his loyal and careful girlfriend and how he ended so heartbroken, maybe they are joining pieces
Seeing how they didn´t consider Yuu as fool who was deceived for a whore as Yami herself hinted in chapter 41 -and in web novel she recognizes she feels disgust and shame to talk in that way about her "heavenly days" with Yuu-

They are teenagers, they are supposed to be immature.
And him choosing to be "mature" just feels like he doesn't give a fuck about Hikari.
Because even adults (and anyone with common sense) know it's pretty much an unwritten rule that you shouldn't care about your ex that much, and even less to prioritize her over your actual girlfriend/love interest.
>>
>>282811321
Not saying you are worth, but to summarize, in case I got it wrong, what you say is that Yuu is unironically thinking
>Yami and me are shitty worthless people, we should care for each other and stop bothering Hikari
If that's it then fuck them, he is right and he should keep his sorry ass away from Hikari.
>>
>>282811321
>There's trust, and then there's leaving all the fence-mending to your waifu after hurting her

Or maybe he really managed to talk with her or at least he tried and she is who is avoiding him
Again, you are assuming the worst of Yuu without any proof.
>>
>>282814198
Possibly the case, but still funny to think he is dumb enough to think Yami needs saving.
He and Hikari need to be saved by her.
If he knows that Hikari saw him kiss Yami and realizes that Yami did it on purpose, then it's clear she is just too autodestructive.
Explanation or not. Going to save Yami is giving up on Hikari, he can't have both.
>>
>>282814325
>He and Hikari need to be saved FROM her.

>>282814297
Basically yes. My idea of the logic would be

The one piece he's missing is
>and also I took her V-card, so I owe her
>>
>>282814325
>Going to save Yami is giving up on Hikari, he can't have both.
Seeing the co-depedency Hikari had about to "Aya-chan" in a level worthy from Setsuna, I am starting to think he really is able to have both
And Hikari will applause him, being her only requirement all this would be done with sincerity and truthness

Can someone tell me what Yuu lied about exactly? Technically everything he said in this chapter is true. Yes he omitted meeting Yami, but bringing up kissing an ex during a confession is a real mood killer. Just b/c it happened doesn't mean his feelings just switched to Yami over Hikari. Of course he should've bought up Yami way before this, but talking about a friends with benefits situation with your childhood friend is weird af too.
>>
>>282814325
>If he knows that Hikari saw him kiss Yami and realizes that Yami did it on purpos
Exactly, this is the joke, nobody of them knows, even Hikari seemed very naive in her discussion with "Aya-chan" in chapter 41, almost how she was still thinking she is able to save Yami
"Not Aya, you are not a bad girl, you really love Taa-kun, you are a good girl, let to hurt yourself in that way saying you are a whore"
Hikari right now is definitely in full Setsuna mode "we have to rescue Kazusa!"
>>
>>282814547
They were not friends with benefits, that was a lie of Yami. They were a real couple and literally he calls Yami in his omake chapters in the WN as "Yami-senpai MY girlfriend" already in the morning of their first time
Takamura is literally the fucking Yuu Izumi asking "Kamiya-san, what are we?", because again, Yami is the MAN, the BOYFRIEND, of the relationship
>>
>>282814547
>Can someone tell me what Yuu lied about exactly?
Him saying that he always was in love with her and that was never able to give up on her?
This is also why in 41 she keeps insisting that Yuu must've had feelings for Yami, because otherwise he would never go that far with a girl.
>>
>>282814198
>And of course, Yami will screw up all again like Kazusa did in the airport
Uh, Kazusa's not the one who screamed TOUMAAAAAA at incredibly hihg speed on eye contact. Too bad Yuu's not down that bad for Yami.

>>282814312
Why did you have to point this out so logically and drain more of my Yamifag copium? My only counterargument is that it'd be too boring if he's already made his choice.
>>
>>282814645
>Him saying that he always was in love with her and that was never able to give up on her?
That is likely the truth though. Sure we don't quite know what he was feeling during the Yami relationship arc. But it's possible he held love for both girls in his heart at the same time. Just b/c he fucked yami doesnt mean he was solely focused on her. Perhaps hikari was still in the back of his mind.
>>
>>282814711
You could argue this could be true but for his flashback PV chapters. Chapter 4 of that POV has him explicitly saying fuck it, I won't fall in love anymore.
>>
>>282814726
Ah i should read the novel one of these days. i guess the subjective judgements we readers have of each character is what makes this manga so fun to red and discuss
>>
>>282814726
>Chapter 4 of that POV has him explicitly saying fuck it, I won't fall in love anymore.

He says this after feel he never will come to any side with Hikari and Yami, was only the grief speaking by him
So, he never lied it to Hikari. His only real lie was the thing of the "dead phone" when in really he securely was crying in the bathroom because Yami again
>>
>>282814726
More to the point, his POV of the Yami relationship said he was genuinely into it and wanted it to work out. He was honestly trying to move on from Hikari at the time.
>>
>>282814646
>Uh, Kazusa's not the one who screamed TOUMAAAAAA at incredibly hihg speed on eye contact. Too bad Yuu's not down that bad for Yami

Fuck, you had to remember THAT to me. This is the kind of things why I never understood the hate for Yuu Takamura -or Yuu Izumi from Shikimori-san either-, Haruki definitely was much worse than anyone of them or even Tomoya from Saekano

Anyway, he didn´t make his choice. He only managed to talk and reach a distension with Hikari while they together try to save Yami. Again, securely that was just their Narita train conversation who obviously didn´t repair magically all the damage provoked by Yami.
>>
>>282814828
Yes, and this is reforced with his final words to Yami being still her boyfriend being, and IN PUBLIC -thanks Japan-: "of course I love you"
The boy was really so close to move on from Hikari... and this was the moment where Yami dumped him.

>Good of him to want to avoid women bullshit gossip but still a shitty choice if he wants to get with Hikari at some point, he is totally remaining neutral which, in this context, it's almost as if directing supporting Yami
I mean, Hikari turned him down with "I can't stand liars," which should be a big kick in the seat of the pants to be a more upright person.

And it's a good point he makes. He won't just dish out dirt on Yami if he thinks they only care about supporting Hikari and will toss her to the curb in exchange. Honestly, this is kind of how Yami got her hook into him to begin with, yeah: Yami has no one, which naturally engenders a protective spirit in a guy. That's probably playing a role here, but never the less it's the right call to make: Yami's not any more at fault here than Yuu, really, and doesn't deserve to be treated like a villain to make everyone else feel better about what happened.
>>
>>282815214

>Yami's not any more at fault here than Yuu, really, and doesn't deserve to be treated like a villain to make everyone else feel better about what happened.
You could say everyone is a dumb teenager that did stupid shit out of inexperice.
But Yami unironically kissed Yuu knowing Hikari was there, watching.
That's malicious. And even if she immediately regretted, it does make her the one more at fault in there. Even if not the villain. But of course instead of apologizing he preferred to escape like a coward, yelling dumb shit at Hikari to the very end trying to make the little idiot to hate her, and when that didn't work she just stopped going to school so she doesn't has to see them again.
So yeah... Yuu isn't the one that has to fix everything. Yami for once should put her big her skirt and stop being a retard.

I think it was confirmed (or not) in the novelization, but

Nah. There are moments of lying to yourself and not facing your true feelings and desires just to keep the status quo
And then there's THIS: lashing against the rest of the world because it didn't accomodate to your private issues that you bottled inside and never discussed with anyone (particularly the person you were in a relationship with), your already admitted indecision and flimsy self-excuses about it.
Even by real life standards, it's an unfair tantrum. And in narrative terms, it mostly comes for more shock, therefore it IS melodramatic stuff

People joked about it way back when, but honestly given how much more we've seen of Hikari and Ayami's relationship since, it really does become more realistic that they should just tag team her and fuck the depression out of her for good. It's the only way, apparently.

Does this really matter? The point is that she never cared about him as a person until he got himself a gf. She doesn't know that, sure, but he didn't change too much as a person, only his attitude did. So fell for his new attitude, not for his personal traits.

Unless Yami is lying in her monologue, they fucked whenever they weren't eating, using the toilet, or sleeping during that week. They even bathed together (and of course, they fucked while doing so). IIRC she said they were supposed to sightsee, but they would rather stay in the hotel and fuck than do other couple stuff.

>>
>>282824800
How is that spinning a narrative?
>>
>>282825147
It's one of the first panels. He thinks Hikari is so strong and cool, too good of a person to ever be hurt by him.
It will be interesting to see that it's not true and that will be the next drama point.
>>
>>282825390
The chapter put emphasis on him worrying more about Yami than about Hikari. Even if he has his own reasons for it, Haru and Yuki still spell it out for us readers. Is discussing that called spinning a narrative now?
>>
>>282824282

Anon, despite the numerous delays for each chapter, we barely have material for 2/3 of a cour so far, so any chance of anime or live-action teen drama will come when the damn story is anywhere near a conclusion
>>
>>282827963
I could easily see each volume taking 4 episodes. Commercial LN version of volume 1 is 260 pages and one LN volume usually takes 3 to 4 episodes. Since we already have 3 full volumes, it should be enough for one cour.
>>
>>282825684
His worry for Yami is treating her like a beaten dog.
When it's about Hikari he starts gushing about how cool she is with a dreamy look.
>>
>>282827705
It's the core part of having a true romantic partner. It's just yamifags trying to bullshit and act like being mistrustful of your lover is somehow a good healthy relationship.
>>
>>282827705
Hikari's going through the shock of her life because of him and isn't FEELING very strong at the moment, but he doesn't seem too concerned about that. He always tends to think of her as an invincible tomboy, but she's super girly in romance, and would probably prefer to feel cared about.
>>
>>282827585

Unironically what did Hikari do wrong? Yeah Yuu's a bit at fault because he tried to avoid coming clean about the whole Yami situation and lied about the kiss, and Yami is a lot at fault for being unable to pick a lane and trashing all the relationships to satisfy her guilt complex. All Hikari did was correctly call Yuu and Yami out on their bullshit.

>Unironically what did Hikari do wrong?
Had like an entire year and a half to confess to Yuu, but kept on botching it. Blames him for what happened in the classroom, despite her seeing and knowing that Yami was the one who slapped and kiss him all the while seeing that Yami saw her watching them. And not compromising and accepting Yuu’s confession when he finally confessed to her.

>Yami's not making a move

Either Hikari does something, or Haru and Yuki pick which girl to poke next. Not too likely they'll poke Yami though, since they weren't as close, and she's holed up at home.

I think the plot still needs at least one more explosion before they reach a final answer, but I don't know what form it will take. For balance I think Hikari should fuck things up for once, but you'd have to write around Yami's natural-1 fuckup roll in any given situation.
>>
>>282838471
Why do you think it's approaching the final answer? To me it feels like things have only just started and there's still a long road ahead.
>>
What the fuck. I've only read up to ch4 or so but now I marathoned to ch29. I never saw that twist coming. Maruto still got it, I kneel.
>>
>>282838490
Maybe I'm just not imaginative enough, but they've figured out most of the situation, and two of them are too beaten-down to take initiative anymore. If Hikari can bootstrap herself now, she gets to pick what ending she wants, and she has a clear shot at Setsuna True, but that feels too direct.

The other thing is, if there's still a lot of story left, it's going to take YEARS at this release rate.
>>
>>282838538
Welcome to the party, there are bunks in the waiting room...
>>
>>282838582
>Maybe I'm just not imaginative enough, but they've figured out most of the situation, and two of them are too beaten-down to take initiative anymore.
I don't believe it's gonna boil down just to this one situation. Sure, it was a centerpiece which made the plot start moving, but I'd expect a lot more to happen. Just them figuring out the situation doesn't resolve it, and every character seems chaotic enough for their decisions to lead to more trouble, even if now they are not willing to act.
>>
It doesn't make sense to end this any time soon when they just got it commercialized. They got both manga and LN running, and for what, just to end it in one or two volumes?
>>
>characters as audience surrogates to recap the messy plot and basically confirm the official narrative that yes everyone is at fault at various points for contributing to the current trainwreck

>>
>>282838662
Right now the part I'm stuck on is that basically only Hikari can go talk to Yami and bring her back into play, but that would mean reaching some kind of understanding already. Yuu's not about to man up and track her down. Her other friends are more likely to approach Hikari first and work from that end. I guess Yami's mom could boot her ass and revive some life in her, against all odds.

>>282838775
You raise a good point. Depends how much plot Maruto can cook up in his brain now after (supposedly) not planning ahead.

>>282838865
That looks workable!

Guess I'll post as I go, to keep the thread bumped.

>Chapter 41.5: One Week After "That Day"

>Early October.
>The school festival is over, and the heat is finally starting to subside, or so one might think on a weekend night.
>"Yay! Three spares in a row! That's 100!"
>"You're really good at recovering, even though you can't even get a strike."
>"You can criticize me if you want, but if you're going to, try to be a little more motivated yourself, Aya-chan."
>"...Whatever. I've never even tried bowling."
>At a time when I normally would've gone right home and had a damn boring weekend, for some reason I was bowling with my classmate, Shirasaka Hikari, at the den of extroverts ◯OUND◯.
>The trigger... or rather, the whole thing started, of course, with Hikari.
>"Hey, let's try again today for the school festival afterparty!"
>It was the usual thoughtless detour, but after five days of saying the same thing, it was finally decided.
>>
>>282856144
>Actually, the real afterparty was last weekend, but my mom was in a bad mood (as usual) that day, so I couldn't go out at all, and had to cancel at the last minute.
>At the time, I didn't act too disappointed and just sent my usual "Sorry, looks like I can't make it" one-liner, but this sensitive girl (without even checking her other friends' schedules) kept on inviting me again every day.
>She really didn't need to be so considerate... right?
>"Aya-chan, are you a genius?"
>"90 points total? That's beginner level, right?"
>"Seven consecutive gutters and then five consecutive strikes? That's crazy!"
>"...That's the fabled beginner's luck, I guess."
>And so, her other friends couldn't make it (I think that Ichigaya girl said she had a big tournament coming up), and in the end, she and I wound up at the entertainment center by ourselves.
>At first she suggested karaoke, but I flatly refused with "I'm going home then," so we started with bowling as a kind of warmup.
>...And, to be honest, up through middle school I'd actually averaged over 150 points, so I was feeling a bit confident, but a gap in my game is brutal after all.

Why is she like this?
>>
>>282856811
>Well, there's no doubt that just being able to enjoy bowling like this is heaven compared to my high school life so far.
>"Hey, you."
>"It's Hikari!"
>As usual, she was being overly familiar with me, saying "Call me Hikari!" But I still hadn't quite figured out the right distance for it, and I'd only managed to do it about a third of the times I wanted.
>"So, um... Hikari, why do you care about me so much?"
>"Well, we're friends!"
>We finished bowling, but of course I still refused to do karaoke.
>So now were in the game corner on another floor, playing a crane game.
>My eyes were focused on the crane buttons (I'm actually good at this too), bu my ears and heart were focused on her reactions (while trying not to let her notice).
>"But compared to other classmates, I've only known you a short time, and I've got an unpleasant personality. And my age..."
>"Well, I suppose I do admire your mature side, don't I?"


>Google TL translated "Hikari" as "Minami Karin" one time
Well, that's a new one.
>>
>>282857552
>Was it on purpose, or was she just naive...?
>In the end, she only responded to the "age" part of my statement, and brushed off my negative criticism with sophistry.
>"What do you mean, mature? Does that mean skipping school and hanging out all the time? Or having all kinds of naughty experiences?"
>"But you go to school every day now, don't you?"
>Again...
>Again, she only responded to the "school" part.
>If she's naive, it's cunning, and if she's calculating, it's annoying.
>"Hey... Hikari, aren't you just attracted to me because I seem kind of 'dangerous'? Like an honors student admires a delinquent who has something they don't?"
>"Ahaha, I guess I can't deny that, can I~?"
>...Before, I would've been "able" to think that, and lose my temper right away, but...
>"I've told you to stop, and don't get close to me... You should just be flirting with your wholesome childhood friend."
>"Huh~? But it's just like in shoujo manga, right? The main character likes honest boys, but ends up being drawn to a delinquent-like one!"
>"That only happens in the world of shoujo manga. Rebellious people are just rotten to begin with."
>>
>>282858397
>"Huh~! That's not true! Those delinquents are pure inside and kindhearted... See, just like Aya-chan!"
>"Hikari's eyes... just how blind are they?"
>Even though I said that dismissively... I couldn't help but want to call her "Hikari".
>"Okay, Aya-chan, let's do that next, over there!"
>"Huh~? I'll pass."
>Hikari grabbed my arm and forcefully pulled me toward the print sticker machine.
>"No way! This is to commemorate our first date!"
>"I'm telling you, Hikari, save that talk for your first date with your boyfriend."
>I couldn't resist her pull...
>No, I couldn't resist the urge to not resist... I just gave in to the direction she was heading, the direction she wanted.

>"Ah..."
>When my eyes opened, the already-dazzling sunlight was reaching them through the gap in the curtains.
>I looked at the clock and saw that it was already past 9am.
>>
someone please redpill me on the releases for this. Is it a web novel that got a "legit" manga and then also a "legit" novel?
>>
>>282860015
It's a free web novel and free manga that later got serialize.
>>
>>282858969
>But it's not because I was having too much fun last night...
>"It's been exactly a year since 'that', huh..."
>Right, the time I was having fun was, exactly one year ago.
>It was the day of Class 1-B's school festival afterparty rerun.
>And now, waking from a dream of that day to my exhausted body, a year has passed.
>Now it was a week after Class 2-C's school festival.
>"A~ah... What an idiot."
>Was that a sarcastic remark at Hikari's lack of judgment?
>Or was it scorn at my own awfulness for ending up like this?
>That's why I told you, Hikari..."
>Your eyes are blind.
>Stay away from someone like me.
>The world of shoujo manga is different from the world we live in.
>Delinquents are just impure and rotten-hearted no matter what.
>Why couldn't I become the person Hikari wanted me to be?
>Why couldn't I become someone "pure inside and kindhearted"?
>Why couldn't I outgrow being an awful bitch who'd cling to a love that had already been broken, and end up ruining everything...?

Unusually, the last sentence was split across two pages.

There are a free webnovel and free webmanga that are still going, and then licensed rerelease versions of both that follow further behind, but sometimes have extra chapters thrown in.

The free novel and manga chapters are released simultaneously, and posted on Twitter and Note:
https://x.com/sa_ra_na_mi
or
https://note.com/saranami

They used to be every two weeks, but are currently monthly.

The rereleased manga is on Webcomic Apanda, but now only the first few and last few chapters are free:
https://comic-walker.com/detail/KC_006293_S

The translated manga is on Mangadex, and it tends to get the bonus chapters after a while too:
https://mangadex.org/title/cf1c93cc-4bb5-4311-b926-0f02ad123ad2/imasara-desu-ga-osananajimi-wo-suki-ni-natte-shimaimashita

Translations of the novel chapters up to 31 are here, but the guy seems to have dropped it, so all you can do for later chapters is MTL:
https://xxddmm.neocities.org/

The author and artist sell volumes at Comiket that come with a bonus chapter in a booklet, like the one currently being MTL'd here.

I respect Yami. Could have simply let Yuu go and let Hikari get him, but she would rather destroy Yuu emotionally and break Hikari’s romantic fantasies than ever give him up. A part of me wishes there was a what-if where Yami and Yuu were still together and Hikari still acting the fool.
