>>285626676Thanks bud
>>285626662OhOh buddy no
>>285626602>>285626628>>285626662>>285626676PROACTIVELY FRIENDZONEDtime to go find some other woman, simp.(well the optimal time has already passed, but better late than never)
>>285626662don't tell me she's moving away...
>>285626462>calling her out
>>285626662Fuck.
>>285626662Nani the fugg??
>>285626662I still believe in our guy. This has to be bait.Funniest outcome is somehow kaede trying to recreate the fireworks being too loud event (or maybe she's trying to avoid it?).
>>285626662Why must japan hurt me this much?
>Tomoka made me realize I'm gay.. she's just, so fucking hot.. I'm sorry Kouhei
>>285626662YAMEROOOOOOOO
>>285626662WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????
>>285626662>>285626676Dammit Kaede what are ya doing? This must be what it feels like to be cucked. Doesn't feel good.
>>285626662That was cruel
I know what will fix this. Foreign exchange student arc... But a female one who takes an interest in Kouhei.
>>285626662
>>285626602What does he mean by that???
>>285626662god... god dammitSo where do we go from here? She's clearly into him but I bet she's afraid of change now that she's finally found somewhere she's happy in life.
>>285626227Face of an ovulating maiden>>285626391uhuh, can you believe the gall of this little devil?>>285626462JESUS>>285626662Goddo is deddo
>>285627976Yes. I believe in our girl.
>>285627896Maybe she thinks fireworks = benis?
The girls aren't gonna be happy when they find out about this.
>>285627976>>285628031Tomo unironically deserves Kouhei. Kouhei is a great guy who deserves a girl who can be direct and honest with him
>>285628226I agree but Kaede is cuterher autism should be cured by a good shrimping
>>285626662Wow, what the fuck, Kaede
>>285626662Damn, shot downGuess we do still have a good plenty chapters to go
if the next chapter is a skip to the next day I'll fucking flipWe had several chapters to deal with the setup and payoff of Yano and Mai's confession,I we deserve more for Kouhei and Kaede's
>>285628430She will need a whole arc to overcome her autism
>>285626662Fuckin brutal
>>285628430OP pic for next week shows them still in the park, hopefully not a fake out.It'll be fine so long as we don't get the drawn out awkward around each other for awhile arc.
>>285626662I'm calling it, she's going to start a self deprecating rant about how she's dumb and obsessed and immature, and Kouhei will step up like a chad and say he likes her because of thatYeah, I'm fuking coping so hard right now because otherwise I'll have nightmares until next tuesdayhope you are happy Obiya you madman
>>285626227Kaede wants him to fuck her in the woods, doesn't she?
>>285626391C'mon boy! She's telling you to impregnate her.
>>285626662Don't worry Aida, my boy. I'll buy you around with a JC that's doing enkou.
>>285626391>>285626662>>285626676Why was this little hussy stringing my boy along?We need sex goddess Kokoron on the case to mend my boy's heart.
>>285627036>Tomoka's target was Kaede all along
>been fucking teasing and leading him the past few chapters>finally steps up>uhhhh maybe not lol teehee xDFUUUUUUUCK
>>285626662What a bitch.
>>285626662Getting flashbacks to Nagatoro going to shit here, hope I'm wrong.
>>285629302Woman moment.
>>285629679I swear if another manga I like ends in a fucking high five I'll never forgive the Japanese.
>>285629715The fuckin high five couple live together tho
>>285629715I'd expect this to have a more satisfying ending regardless, but the way it had a clear escalation only to throw everything up to stall, and the particularly stupid way of going at it, sure feels familiar. Call it PTSD.
>>285626662Childhood friend betrays...
>>285627036>>285629159Tomoka wouldn't cheat on Nono like that.
>>285630789It's over for Nono.
>>285626662Not like this
>>285631424
>>285631424why is she so cute bros
>>285626662HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>285632173Because she's a mature sexy Adult (Teen).
>>285626662Leave Kouhei to me.
>>285632358>doroboneko>winningIf anything she'll at least make Kaede jealous.
>>285626662Women...
>>285626662>>285626875Childhood friendzoned...
>>285627036
>>285626462YESYOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING YOU LITTLE SLUT>>285626662I'm being radicalized
>>285629097
>>285626662I know that deep down she would accept it when she's ready but why does this rejection felt fucking hurt. I never even asked a girl out before.
>>285634248It's because of how long it's taken Kouhei to get to this moment. He's always backed down, second guessed, or over think things. So finally seeing him step up and get hit with a stop sign makes it hurt all the more.
>>285634371Never thought about it but I realize now that I'm probably seeing Kouhei as my son, fuck.
>>285634411I know that feel bro.
>>285634678heh
>>285634203Please Kokoron we beg of you to consume more than that this time, with the glasses on.Please, for my boy's broken heart.
Hey Faggots, My name is Haruki, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass pictures. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any pussy? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on facebook.Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I was captain of the football team, and starter on my basketball team. What sports do you play, other than "jack off to naked drawn Japanese people"? I also get straight A's, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.Pic Related: It's me and my bitch
Mai would never
>>285634248She's also been very teasey over the last dozen or so chapters, only for her to freeze up when the moment happens. Hopefully that's all it is and she doesn't go into panic mode.
This has been one of my all time favorite rom-coms, but if this is a fakeout and they go back to just being childhood friends after all of this, I'm going to be genuinely mad
>>285636284Hey now Mai didn't acknowledge her feelings for the longest time either. It wasn't until Chisa tried to get with Haruki that she accepted the truth.
>>285626662cf betray...
>perhaps you shouldn't>because I'll do it10/10 everything is forgiven I always believed
>>285637836A genuine brat who needs rape correction if that's the case
>>285626662FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKnow it's time for the (real) forgotten osananajimi transfer student and jealousy arc
>>285639081>>285626662unironically, did anyone actually expect endgame here? it feels like we're not even close to the end yet
>>285626662This only means the series is no where close to ending.
>>285639113I'll invoke JWWW's author's words here:>I really couldn't see a reason why the two wouldn't get together right now, so they didIn like chapter 70 out of 200.Meta writing sucks ass. If it makes sense in universe... Just fucking let them get together fuck off
>>285639113>it feels like we're not even close to the end yetAre you crazy? We're in year 3. Everyone is about to graduate and we know they're all not going to the same schools. Plus, the romance angle has gotten wider and wider, not just with Mai and Haruki becoming a thing and telling everyone, but people keep asking Aida about him and Kaede more and more
>>285639113it's chapter 159, I don't think a manga of this kind should last longer than 200 chapters and Obiya likes to step outside of usual writing limitations so I wouldn't be surprised if we get them to be a real couple very soon, but even this setup is a bit too sudden, maybe in one or two chapters IF they don't just timeskip into next school day or something
>>285639766feels like kaede is still too childish for romance, their friends keep asking and pushing it, but when you look at kaede herself it doesn't feel like she's ready for it at all
>>285639802she needs to understand becoming a couple doesn't mean she should stop acting like a childhood friend, if anything she has more reason and freedom to do itperhaps that's even going to be a plot point
>>285626662AAAAAAAAA that fucking hurt>>285640043Bring the Copium reserves brehs, we're gonna need them to last until next week
>>285634678
>>285642394Yes hahaha, copium
>>285639113You're retarded
>>285643684why? did she not literally just reject him and stalled the ending in this fucking chapter?
>>285639793>>285639674It's last year of middle school and end of july, right? So they have some 6 months or so if they want to do something on graduation. She's still too childish, maybe that change of attitude will come as they start to approach highschool. Feels like a fitting ending, real coming-of-age like Personally, i'd like if the manga went longer than that and showed them in highschool. Throw in some highjynx with kouhei's sister and stuff like that.Chapter number is whatever, the story is paced well enough that it wouldn't feel like it would be dragging for too long. Plenty of romcoms have a long run
>>285643445kek
>>285626662>see all these quotesYou guys make tempest in a teapot.
>>285644707I have never heard that idiom before
>>285642394
>>285626662Finally, Tomoka can make her move with a clear conscience.
>>285629883I miss that precious tanned gremlin. Where are the doujins, 774?
>>285646464You snooze you lose.
>>285639802Author should've really made them 12 instead of 15.
>>285626193Damn, hand holding on the first page already. This will be rough for me.
>>285630515Please leave and never come back!
>>285646464>>285648202We all know a middleschooler falling into despair after being dumped will land in the lap of a JK gyaru.
>>285650154Nah Tomoka's been quietly sitting in the sidelines biding her time. Kaede's going to chicken out of her confession and Tomoka will swoop in while Kouhei's heartbroken and vulnerable. Explains why she was so smug last chapter. She knew Kaede was going to fumble herself up.
>>285650513Absolutely devilish. Needs Nono correction.
>>285650513
Onee-chan is going to take back what's rightfulness hers.
Dorobonekobros, it's now our time.
>>285651349She's gonna "comfort" him and leave the window open so that Kaede watches.
>>285651512>are you watching kaede??!! all of his firsts belong to me now!!!
>>285651349
>>285651349I hope we go love-triangle after this
>>285651349Well she was concerned he was passing her in firsts. What better way to ensure Kaede can't have a first with Kouhei if she does it first instead.
>>285651481>>285650513Based Tomoka trvthers.
>>285626662Theory. She's actually been very self aware about how forced the whole childhood friend thing she's been doing and she's afraid he likes her only because of that and the love isn't genuine.
>>285651481I've always thought that she's pretty cute. Wouldn't mind if she did some things with our boy.
>>285626662When this gets an adaptation, this will be the episode ending, with the music cutting off completely with only the fireworks sounding at the distance
>>285651649Uhmmm never considered the idea, BUUUUUUT
>>285626662Please don't to this...
>>285651349>>285651659Whorenami
>>285658011
>>285658265>PRIME JK'S
>>285658265Kokoron mogs Honami and yankee girl
>>285658265Why are they like that?
>>285658568Jealousy.
>>285629057
Why did so many romcom heros and heroines lose this week?
>>285630515Emilia a shit.
I want to point out is out already.It's just everyone being cheap fucks unwilling to spend 100yen to dump the raws here.We COULD know the results right now...
>>285663651what's stopping you, anon?
>>285663803I'm also a cheap fuck of course. Someone more impatient than me do it please.
>>285663651>>285663803>>285663826It's only five days until the next thread, let's wait for OP
>>285663651I'll spoil you guys right nowStarting today, we're boyfriend and girlfriend
>>285664708That's some devious teasing anon. You have any evidence? Otherwise you're just a lying bastardPlease don't pllay with my heart like that
Is it Tuesday yet?
>>285664932幼なじみと大好きI LOVE my childhoodfriendHMMMMMMM
just read the chapterKaede doesn't love him.
just read the chapterKaede does love him after all
>>285663651100? That's cheap, we're getting robbed.
>>285655975What studio should do the adaptation?
Just read the chapterMoyupu suddenly shows up out of nowhere, stabs her, kisses her and then drives a knife through both their throats.
>>285666582KUBOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>285666385Go hands so it doesn't get popular
>>285666385The same studio that did Takagi-san. Use the same voice actors too.
>>285627896He wants to shoot something out at Kaede that'd explode everywhere. shoot out a confession that would bomb, resulting in spagetti and tears everywhere.
>>285667633Yamamoto likes this series
>>285627896>"Can i blast my fireworks all over you to prove my love?"Bold strategy
>>285663651Is it part of a manga magazine? I could catch it at my local conbini and check the conclusion
>>285667905
>>285626662Shit like this is what convinces people to become terrorists.
>>285626662NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kaede facial when?
>>285626662Go for another girl and keep her as a "friend" because she's obsessed with having a childhood friend. It's the only thing she thinks.She can't get jealous after this, she has 0 rights to get jealous if the kid gets another girl.
>>285663651Thats no fun i want to read the next chapter with other anons so we can all react to the big moment
>>285668403kek
>>285651649Hot!
>>285658364They should consider themselves lucky, that Sex Goddess Kokoron didn't bring her glasses.
>>285666582Damn, from one universe to another? Can anyone stop that gigachad?
Holy shit it's coming true.
>>285671051Well, we could always have said chapter bought, downloaded, and posted with a live TLSadly, we lack the funds and no one here can actually read japaneseSo it's okay, we shall let the hype consume us until next week
>>285663826You get points free when you sign up
>>285663651I don't want to put OP out of a job. He's been doing this since the very first thread. >>285675428Noice.
>>285663651Are you telling me OP doesn't buy the chapters the second they are released?Is my world just going to keep crumbling into nothing or what?
>>285673902I wouldn't mind her or Kokoron playing with Kouhei's penis.
>>285676981When I was doing scanlation it took me about a week to do a chapter (translation, script, cleaning, redrawing, typesetting, qc).
>>285678079Can't believe already ended and on a joke too.
>>285676981From OPs uploads on mangadex. I don't know because I've never done it but I'm sure it takes a bit of time to translate things, then go through and edit the pages.
>>285678149What is it?
>>285676981>wahhhh why isn't this random anon wasting aditional money and time for MY enjoyment???I am salty as well for the wait to see next chapter's development, as any person who might, for example, see a TV series and needs to wait for the next episode, but1) this very wait is part of the experience, to build excitement and hype (especially in this case with such a cliffhanger)2) we're not paying nor scanlating nor translating any of this shitOP has been doing a great job so far, stop being a whiny fag and come back next week.
>>285680193>https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/260276028/>first thread posted 12/4/23 22:00OP has very been consistent for 2 straight years. The only time we never got a thread is because the new chapter just happened to fall on April 1st.
>>285680492>little more than 2 years alreadyMan, where does the time go
>>285680492I'm really grateful to OP for making the daily for this series. It's nice to see this manga gaining traction here.
Aida-kun belongs to Tomo
>>285680193>come back next weekI'll be here daily and whine as much as I want, what about it
Guys, calm the fuck down.They know each other for barely a year. She'll totally going to say him to wait more, that she wants to keep enjoying her "childhood" friend for some more time before going for the next step.She wants to experience more of her childhood friend thing before becoming a couple. She didn't even went to wake him up yet.
>>285681936I wonder if she realizes how sexy she is.
>>285683792Ah so we're doing this again?
>>285646464>>285648202>>285650154>>285650513She needs to get jealous so her smug and childhoofriend-tism gets toned down by brute force out of pure rage and betrayal
>>285658601Well, if they do excercise they would have good asses to complement their lacks in the front department
>>285683925Who should be the girl to cause this jealousy?
>>285685613Here >>285630789>>285631424>>285650154>>285651349
Are the doroboneko hussies actually good guys?
>>285626602He really needs to fart.>>285626662Just hold it in.
>>285626662Becoming a makeine is the ultimate childhood friend status. Kaede is being true to her convictions. No wonder they did that collab.
>>285689938I think that was the best collab so far
Wow, the thread's still up.So here's another spoiler. I have the script done, and will be spending the weekend cleaning and typesetting.It will be worth the wait, so see you Tuesday around 22:00 NY.
>>285692037Fuck yeah my hopium just arrived
>>285692037>Manipulating him so he just stays orbiting herI've seen that so many times
>>285692037Dorobonekobros...
>>285692037WE'RE SO BACK
>>285692037
>>285692037I never lost hope.
>>285692037You take her ready, brotherSee you on Tuesday
>>285692037There's a chance!
>>285692037Go for it
It's been a while since a thread went this long. Is it a good sign?
>>285626662>>285626676Why are people dooming?I took this to mean she's suggesting they make the other kind of fireworks
>>285626662FUCK THIS SHIT
>>285704397Kaede ready for calippo tour
