Chapter 55 got release; Dumping
>shiru ka ba~kaMaruto really loves this line, huh.
Fin
Lesbian makeover sex when?
>>292014515Thanks for the dump.A pretty tame chapter, but at least more eventful than the previous one.TLDR>Hikari called her home, her mom was crying, but it's gonna be alright>Hikari didn't bring any money so Yami is paying for her>Says "pay the interest now by talking about your true feelings">They go back and forth about Yuu but it's all pretty tame except for Hikari mentioning all his firsts already taken by Yami>Hikari says she wanted to get back at Yami that's why she chose this ryokan where they stayed together with Yuu in their childhood>Tells about it and Yami bursts into tears while thinking she was defeated by Hikari
Throuple ending
>>292014328Yamifeet!
>>292015198where's hikari
>>292014613>you may have taken all his virginities, but I went on a vacation with him once when we were 5 so I'm the real winner hereThis is what childhood friends actually believe.
>>292015258who the fuck actually cares about first times?
>>292014613>all his firsts already taken by Yamidamn even his anal?
Someone reply to me when the TL is out
>>292015502
>>292015258>>292015343I think it would be funnier if all their genders were flipped. Female Yuu’s first time taken by a male Yami with step mother issues while male Hikari becomes the ultimate cuck trying to brag he took his childhood friend on vacation one time as if that somehow negated the fact that all of female Yuu’s holes were filled by his other best friend and then discarded.
oh boy, looking forward to the TL. hopefully it'll be picking back up cause it's been a bit rough lately in terms of quality
>>292014328Very necessary panel
>>292016982The TL is out, that’s why I responded >>292016047
>>292016992It's not on MD yet. What's the new Nitter/Xcancel these days?
>>292014328>>292014515>>292015502>>292017023Ah, I figured it out from searching /g/. Dumping TL.
Hikari is doing all of this, just so she can have a love triangle where she loses. I just don't see why She would do this
>>292017142
>>292017157
>>292014515Thanks OP>>292014613I'm not sure about winning like this, Hikaribros...But, hey, a win is a win
>>292017176No idea if there are larger versions of these.

>>292017327Kek, bodied that freak.End chapter
>>292017327I'm a yamifag and this was honestly pretty funny
>>292017195hey, I've seen this setup before!
>>292017337Yamibros we fucking lost to a fucking mushroom rice dish....
Maruto tweet for the chapter release.
>>292017337Fucking brutal decapitation.
>>292017337There is no coming back from this
Feels like this is gonna end with Yuu being all along due to those 2 fighting each other so much out of liking him.
>>292018372Did this really feel like a fight to you?
>>292019061it feels like they're both tearing down Yuu, but neither of them will talk to him
someone gift yami a rope
>>292019318She will probably enjoy shibari with Yuu too.
this is my favorite NTR manga
BPDemon not so happy when reminded of happi times with ex-bf
>>292018372Yuu sucks so much he deserves all the problems and suffering he went through and none of the girls. He almost feels like a parody. Hands down one of the worst romcom MC out there, even Tadano wasn't that spineless.
>>292019783He has been trying non-stop to get back with Yami and is doing everything he can to get her to open up to him. He's one of the most pro-active MCs
>>292019893The bitch can take a decision to save his life, no matter how many people he hurts in the process. Being proactive is never an issue for romcom MCs, it's the sum of their actions resulting in a net negativeWanna know a MC that's more proactive and less spineless that Yuu? Kazuya
>>292019783>get bitched out by two different women because one of them made moves the other didn’t like>apologize>they won’t listen and continue to throw fits of agony as if it’s the end of the world for both of them and scream bloody murderWhat can you do in this situation? There’s not going to be any more romance until both girls stop acting hysterical, which they won’t for a very long time because their metaphorical watches are stuck on clown time. It doesn’t have to be this way.
did aya win yet
>>292014613>Tells about it and Yami bursts into tears while thinking she was defeated by Hikarikwab
>>292017337Bring me KEKmi
>>292019783it's hard to emphasize with him when the manga gives us almost none of his thought process compared to the girls
>>292020188won before chapter 1 even starter. Hikari eternally BTFO>>292020161Yea, Yuu might be doing some minor mistakes here and there, but he's having to deal with 2 girls who will do ANYTHING but talk to him clearly and truthfully. Even the apparently stable girl is slipping to menhera side.
>>292020254the WN gives us glimpses into how hard he is/was trying to find Yami and how decisively he acts when it comes to her. if all you went off was the manga he does come off way lazier
>>292020258>Yuu might be doing some minor mistakes here and thereEverything that's happening is due to him not being able to make any decision
>>292020348>due to him not being able to make any decisionHe made several decisions. He decided to date Yami. He decided to move on and confess to Hikari. He decided to confront Yami and tell her everything she wanted to hear. He got two crazy bitches.
>>292020353And why are there so many issues? Because the bitch can't chose between the two to save his life. Tadano at least, once someone else decided for him, stuck to that decision
>>292020474Did you skip chapter 51 or what?
>>292020514You didn't read the chapters after chapter 51 it seems, so here's a link: https://mangapill.com/chapters/8220-10052000/imasara-desu-ga-osananajimi-wo-suki-ni-natte-shimaimashita-chapter-52
>We are still on this fucking dramaSee you guys in 2 years
>>292020551So what about those chapters suggests that he couldn't choose?
>>292017337No shit her family is a wreck of course you'd make her cry
manga would be better without that emo-girl
I think Yami should masturbate more
Don't die just yet, I found one more short LN chapter to scan. Takes place 2 weeks after Yami and Yuu started dating. Will do it later today.
>>292020683I'm pretty sure it was the Yuu stuff that got to her, rather than the family stuff.>>292021012Nice, thanks!
We love y/a/mi here.
As promised, here is a short chapter, a bonus material for LN vol. 2.
>>292021510
>>292021518
>>292021528
>>292021539
>>292021550
>>292021559End. If no one does it before me, I will post the short summary later.
>>292015258I don't think that's where she was defeated. It was hikari doing her damndest to smash down her walls and have her friend back despite said friend getting in the way of her crush and her actively pushing people she cares about away to suffer in silence. I can see yami getting frustrated over that
>>292021910Never mind I take back what I said. This isn't that type of series
>>292021963She IS frustrated by the fact that there's all these good people around her but she can't find it in herself to reciprocate that good will, which ends up with her lashing out again and the cycle repeating. So either she gives in first, or they do. And I'm pretty sure we already know which it will be
>>292021510>>292021518>Yami and Yuu meet up for the first time since that night>He just got his successful exam results for his second choice school and calls his mom, telling her the news and saying he is heading over to "Kaneda's place for a victory party">>292021528>“But seriously, thanks, Yami-senpai. For coming with me to the results announcement.”>“No, I mean, if you’d failed again this time, it’d obviously have been my fault, right?”>“Huh? No, that’s not...”>“Come on, I turned Yuu into a monkey, remember? I was worried that might’ve made it hard for you to focus on studying~”>“...Th-then don’t talk about that in public!”>“Ahaha~, sorry.”>Well, I act all confident and tease Yuu like some older, sexy woman.>But the truth is... getting in touch with Yuu again took a ton of courage.....>I looked up the date of the results for the Tokyo Metropolitan high school he said he was applying to.>Then I seriously thought about when to contact him so I could casually (this part’s important) meet up with him that day.>Like, if I did it too early, he might think I was coming on too strong.>Or if I waited too long, he might bring his parents along.>Or maybe, even though I’d gotten swept up in the moment and done it with him back then, now that he’d had time to think, he regretted it and didn’t want to hear from me...…..>All those negative possibilities kept swirling around in my head, and in the end, I couldn’t contact him until late the night before the results came out......>I’m such an idiot, aren’t I?>“Thanks. Then, is ten okay at the ticket gates at ●● Station?”>That super-casual yet warm message made me hug my smartphone without thinking, but that’s our little secret, okay?
>>292021539>Hikari sends him a message saying "Congratulations" >Yami gets sarcastic about it but immediately realizes she stepped on a landmine, Yuu looks hurt>She feels even more jealous at that casual closeness they have, at the way Hikari learnt about him passing 30 minutes after he called his mom and their families being so close, and the way Hikari probably didn't even care when his results were announced but still contacting him so casually once she learnt>>292021559>“Hey, Yuu...”>“What?”>“Want to go buy you a present to celebrate your passing?”>“Huh? No, it's okay. Just celebrating with me like this is...”>“It's okay. I'm not going to buy anything that expensive.”>“Wait, you've already decided what to get?”>“Yeah, a ribbon for wrapping a present.”>“Just a ribbon...?”>“Because, see... the contents are gonna be me, naked~”>“Ah, h-hey, Yami-senpai...”>>292021573>“Yuu, you did lie to your parents for me earlier, didn't you?”>“Uh...”>“Today’s the victory party, and you said you’d be home late,right?”>On the table, I clasp Yuu’s hands in both of mine, intertwining all our fingers.>Under the table, I slip off my shoes and trail my toes along the inside of Yuu’s thigh.>“Hey, stay with me? Today, tonight……”>“...Yeah.”>Going that far, I keep wearing myself down to fight the “phantom woman.”>I don’t care if I’m left in tatters.>Even if I give it all away… yeah, I’ve already given it all.>Matsushita Ayami. My boyfriend became a high school student, just like me.>So tonight, I’m going to celebrate with all my heart and soul.>…………my happiness.
>>292022895>do something >winIt's that shrimple, Yami!
>>292017337Thanks for posting, anon
why is still going on? it's more than obvious that yami is best girl and generic mc will end up with her why prolong it
>>292016861male Yami is hot as fuck, I jerk off to him everyday https://i.postimg.cc/MZrCbDgd/yami-GB.png
>>292024321She's being difficult due to mommy issues, and he's too beaten-down to push through the shell, so Hikari has to do everything.But mostly, it's because releases are down to one chapter a month (with occasional extra chapters in the rerelease version), so progress is super slow.
>>292024345That feminine penis looks a little high-up
>>292024321Because the breaking down of their insecurities is more interesting than the inevitable big kiss on a snowy night while the other girl gets heartbroken, i.e. the Maruto special.
>>292024321As much as I think this an incredibly funny dumpster fire of bad writing, I admit the yuri ending you are suggesting is interesting
>>292022895Cute tsundere Yami
>>292022945>“Because, see... the contents are gonna be me, naked~”Fuggg. I'm gonna gen a slop for this imagery with her genderbent
>>292020254>it's hard to emphasize with him when the manga gives us almost none of his thought process compared to the girlsI mean, his thought process is securely this. The boy is literally an 1:1 copy from Izumi... Yuu.Until now, the method "what Izumi or Haruki would do it in this moment" has worked at perfection.
>>292022945>>She feels even more jealous at that casual closeness they have, at the way Hikari learnt about him passing 30 minutes after he called his mom and their families being so close, and the way Hikari probably didn't even care when his results were announced but still contacting him so casually once she learntWell, that explains the last couple pages a lot better
>>292016861Aieee stop it! This is suppose to be an emotional moment where Yami's lack of family belonging trumps the taking of any virginities.
>>292027110it's not about family belonging, it's about her lack of casual acquaintances without the need for pretenses and games. Yami had a happy family life when she was little, hence why she went full guilt-trip for ousting her mom's groper remarriage husband
>>292014328Is that a male or a female?
>>292027559This, Hikari got to be Yuu's friend and got the luxury of being by his side without having to use herself to entice him. Yami for as in love as she is, thinks that she used sex to keep him tied to her. She's not aware enough as a person to realize that Yuu would love her as much as she loves him even if she didn't constantly tease and bait him into sleeping with her. In a way she's blind to how much Yuu loves her as she is, not as a woman offering herself. At least that's how I'm reading it.
>>292027741It really does feel that way. The way how Yami keeps circling back to using sex as a weapon in relationships was probably something she picked up from her mom and just being a more aware girl.
>>292027760That and she's seen how attached Yuu became to her when their relationship started with them having their first times with each other. She doesn't know any better, sadly. A functional relationship is inseperable from sexual dependence to her, its fucking sad.
>>292027830The combo of LN and this chapter has been a really great development for the story overall. Best chapter in a while.
>>292022945SLUUUT
>>292027741>Yami for as in love as she is, thinks that she used sex to keep him tied to her.I'd argue that she knows that it isn't actually true, but she keeps telling herself that it works like that to calm down her own insecurity.
>>292030686 Yeah, see >>292027830
>>292027571probably
>>292031219You'd have to define functional relationship, because even after doing all that she folds like a little bitch.
>>292027110Even then the gender flip situation is genuinely more pathetic on yamio's end. If the only thing he can say is "me and yuuko had a whirlwind romance and fucked" while hikaru still had a healthy and mostly innocent friendship and good home situation, he'd kind of come off as pathetic since he's admitting physical prowess is all he had
>>292027571Hermaphrodite
What even is the appeal of this manga?
>>292034229Menhera pusy. That's it. Easily the worst romcom I've read, and I've read some.
>>292034350It's not really a romcom, it's a character drama that involves a pretty complicated triangle of friendship and romance that doesn't feel contrived
>>292034229
>>292026173>dumpster fire of bad writingNothing about this is bad writing. If anything the writing is really good. Are you confusing drama with bad writing?
>>292026623>Well, that explains the last couple pages a lot betterDo you really need all of that to understand the emotional closeness and the jealousy?
>>292034229>>292034350is this your first drama series? This author is famous for making a GODTIER drama series
>>292036309it gives a clear reason that is grounded in a realistic reason rather than just some lazy throwaway manner
>>292034229It was interesting when the twist first happened, but now the characters all seem stupid and pathetic.
>>292026483maybe I'm dumb, I get why Haruki is brought up given WA2, but I don't get why Izumi is here, Shikimori wasn't a Maruto special.
>>292036330I don't know about that, Maruto only has two notable works, SaeKano and WA2. Both are great drama, but like ........ I don't know if that makes him godtier at drama writing with just that. Okay, maybe Engage Kiss too.
>>292037546Because Maruto used Shikimori as the other source work for Imasara, this is the reason why this work is so role-reversal compared with Saekano and White Album 2 (even if, anyway, Yuu Izumi was already based in Haruki as main character). The little things who we got from Ta-kun thoughts (for example, the omake PoV of Twilight Arc) are identical to Yuu Izumi thoughts. Ta-kun also inherited his so submissive personality from Izumi and I put here other example to prove it.
>>292015343Uhh, non-cucked/brainwashed men? Unless you mean among women specifically, in which case then none. Except maybe shotacon ones.
>>292015258I mean, Yuu goes back and forth between the two of them in the span of 1 chapter, so it's not like she's entirely wrong. That's the issue of falling in love with a smoothbrain
>>292037574His VNs (Parfait, Chocolat) are a lot more straightforward galge, although Damekoi is fairly dramatic all things considered
>>292037897>Maruto used Shikimori as the other source work for ImasaraWhy does he have anything to do with Shikimori?
>>292038802ignore the shikimorischizo
>>292038802Some anon posts about Shikimori in every single Imasara thread
>>292037897I get what you are saying, but Shikimori isn't his story, he wasn't involved in either the manga or the anime. So did he comment that he is using Shikimori as a reference for Imasara?
>>292034229at this point I have no idea
>>292038806>>292038833But they have pretty much nothing in common
>>292038806I love you too.>>292039021He didn´t comment it, but it is very probably in the same way Maruto used Chitoge to build and mock Eriri in Saekano.In summary, these are the reasons:1) The role-reversal/gentle femdom tones of the story, precisely Shikimori is the only one big recent manga who explored all that thing of "she is the boyfriend in this relationship" in the way who Ayami was/is the man in her relationship con Yuu Takamura. Definitely, this series has so many tomboy girls for the usual Maruto likes.2) Again, Ta-kun being a copy 1:1 from Izumi... and Yami being a copy 1:1 from Ai Kamiya, the loser dark-haired girl from that series (you only have to see pic related).3) Shikimori was already based in White Album 2 with the main love triangle being based in Haruki (Yuu), Chiaki (Shikimori) and Kazusa (Kamiya). The Kamiya Arc in the Shikimori manga and anime was definitely inspired by White Album 2 and the anime even added PIANO themes for the Kamiya´s character.TL;DR Only Izumi was pegged in the same way, in modern post-covid manga, who Takamura has been pegged in this series. Also, they have the same name: Yuu.
>>292039575>Ta-kun being a copy 1:1 from IzumiAre you confusing and conflating the terms "spineless" and "meek"?
>>292017281>>292017302>>292017327You can't tell me this wasn't intentional.
>>292041382This wasn't intentional. Just look at her initial reaction.
>>292039766>Are you confusing and conflating the terms "spineless" and "meek"?Not, the boy Ta-kun really has that feminine-vibes from Izumi. And a cheesy inner thoughts. The boy was literally calling to Yami as "MY GIRLFRIEND" five seconds later the first fucking in the love hotel in the chapter 4 of the omake WN. Keksimus maximus.No, no, no, only a girl would do that. Only Izumi would do that. Is not just being meek and spineless. Is being a fucking boy acting as a girl. And again, there is not other male lead in these all years so pegged as Ta-kun, but, again, Yuu Izumi. This kid lost his anal virginity, dudes.
>>292041382>>292041476I read it as intentional, but more super-effective than she expected, to the point that she misattributed the impact to family stuff rather than just Yuu stuff.
Lmao fucking KEKmi
>>292014613>Tells about it and Yami bursts into tears while thinking she was defeated by HikariKek. Now Yami will push Yuu away even harder... even resorting to sleep with others to burn that bridge.
>>292041631There's nothing wrong with being as homosexual as you are, but maybe you should try some BL to satisfy your cravings?
>>292042233no nigga that'll just cause Yuu to want to get even closer to Yami-senpai
>>292017176Some interesting tidbits from the novel version of the chapter.https://note.com/saranami/n/nd74e12990eb5>"You're still awake?">From the direction of the room door, I heard the sound of a lock being unlocked.>Then, after the sound of a sliding door opening, I could faintly hear Hikari's muffled voice.>"Did the phone get through?">"Yeah... I borrowed one from the front desk.">"Who answered?">"My mom.">"She was angry, wasn't she?""...She was crying.">"Well, that's to be expected."[...]>"So, did you tell her about this place?">"...I was kind of vague about it. I told her not to worry because I'd come back of my own free will.">"Did your mom really accept that?">"Even if she didn't, there was nothing she could do. If I hung up the phone, there was no way to contact me anymore.">"You bad girl.">"I don't want to hear that from you, Aya-chan."
>>292044440>"Oh, that reminds me, money! ...But there's nothing we can do about it now.">"It doesn't matter.">"Even so, I've already borrowed tens of thousands of yen, you know? It's not something I can just ignore.">Yes, Hikari followed me in her pajamas, without even taking her phone.>So now, all the expenses for tracking Hikari are coming out of my wallet.>...Well, even that originally came from my parents (or rather, my ex-father whom I kicked out), so nobody needs to feel any pain or responsibility for this expense.>But if Hikari feels even a little bit responsible for it...>"Okay, then pay the interest now.">"Huh? But I don't have any money right now...">"Remember, we talked about it this evening. Your 'true feelings'.">"Ah...">The "real reason" that Hikari followed me. The "darkness" she harbors towards me.>No matter how much I betray her. No matter how much I flirt with "him.">Yet she still speaks to me in a friendly manner, constantly worries about me, and follows me all the way here.>I want to peek behind the mask of that meddlesome, kind-hearted, and utterly "nice girl.">"...Should we do that tomorrow?">"No.">"It's past 1 o'clock, isn't it? Breakfast tomorrow is at 8 o'clock.">"So what?">"I didn't have time for dinner, so I'm hungry.">"Talking will help distract you from your hunger.">"Ugh...">...No, actually, I don't want to see.>I want to keep believing that her good intentions are genuine.>But I have to take a peek.>Because I have to accept my punishment.>I have to accept that I'm breaking up with Hikari.>We're staying together at a hot spring inn. We're traveling as a couple.>If the atmosphere gets bad now, the rest of our trip will be awful.(Fixed a pronoun TL)
>>292042856That's the WHOLE. FUCKING. POINT.
>>292044513oh, she's doing it again
>>292014328I really want official translations for the Manga and Light Novels. This is obviously getting an anime adaption
>>292026483>>292037897>>292039575
>>292044513>We're traveling as a couple.Yeah.
>>292046163>This is obviously getting an anime adaptionAre the sales good enough?
>>292046371Literally lmaoI made filters for that guy at some point
>>292046470>Are the sales good enough?Sales don't matter for a guy with connections in the visual novel industry. I'm sure he can get White Fox
>>292044513>hmm I found a person who does not act shitty towards me even though I may have done some shitty things towards them>surely it must be fake>I know, I'll do some even shittier things to push them to the edge! If they finally crack that means they had a limit to their niceness all along!IMPECCABLE FUCKING LOGIC YAMI SENPAI
>>292047535>I know, I'll do some even shittier things to push them to the edge!That's not what she did though, she just urged Hikari to have a heart-to-heart. Which is what the latter wanted from her before.
>>292047535Are you new to humans
>>292047836>That's not what she did though, she just urged Hikari to have a heart-to-heartDo you honestly think a person with this kind of inner monologue is the kind of person who can be satisfied with something like "huh okay that sounded pretty genuine I guess she is nice" no. Chances are she would instead think something like "I must not have been pushing hard enough to peek through the mask"
>>292048527That is literally how the chapter played out, while your headcanon is>she did an even shittier thing
>>292014328Thanks OP
>>292048527Yep, there's no satisfying BPD girls. This is just their nature and it's incredibly hard to fix.
>>292044513>I have to accept that I'm breaking up with Hikari.GAY
all of this because Yuu had to yap about Hikari while getting treated as a meat dildo by Yami
