Ichikawa dug his own grave and then came out of it. Moeko with the follow lmao, way too late.

Oh damn her agent ain't happy about that photo. But I doubt they'll do anything that harsh.

No it's not just you. I'm personally not impressed with how the story is going right now. It's way more of a slow burn then ever before, and it's also becoming more of an ensemble where the side characters are getting way more spotlight. I could adapt and be fine with all that if Ichikawa and Yamada were still getting wholesome moments and relationship development, but I think they're super stagnant now because the writer isn't allowing Yamada to really do anything, and Ichikawa is crippled by all the exam crap and that fake rejection in the class. Meanwhile Moeko is getting all this focus, which again, I would be okay with, if Japanese fans weren't using it to push a dumb NTR plotline where she gets with Ichikawa. It's been getting out of hand on Twitter.

I just don't think the story has any direction right now. I had been voicing my displeasure and critical opinions recently among the Japanese fandom over the past week or two, but anyone who criticizes the manga is basically public enemy #1, and I deactivated my account yesterday because I couldn't take the carefree, delusional, and lowkey toxic nature of the fandom anymore. They just think everything is perfect no matter what but get a kick out of making fun of the main two characters more often than not, so it doesn't make any sense to me. Sorry this turned into a ramble lol my bad.

@sauragorn10 It frustrates me that this manga turned from 8.5/10 straight to 6/10.

Eh I don't think it went down hill yet. If anything the author is spending many chapters setting things up. Then consider reading this on a weekly basis (when not on break/hiatus) is leading to disappointment because we haven't seen the payoff. If anything I will say the fake fanservice of sexual tension between the MC's is starting to get redundant.

I LOL'ed at how Ichikawa's social manipulation went awry and ended in a good note :LOL: And also I lol'ed at how Sekine made that cat-face like Shikanoko also kind of does (deer face) as well (also same voice actress, Han Megumi).



Now I wonder what the manager will do - time for some drama I guess (or maybe not)

@sauragorn10 "Way more spotlight" is a stretch. The vast majority of the chapters are still Kyo and Yamada hanging out and being cute together just with occasional side character stuff. The last two volumes have been about Anna growing and becoming mindful of others. Maybe it's because you're following this as it releases but it's pretty apparent all together.

Doubt any JP fans are serious about Kyo and Moe NTR. Most impressions I see from JP Twitter are about liking Kyo and Anna's growth.

@OrielBel Well I’m just trying to say the last 9 chapters or so, basically since the whole fake rejection thing in 144, haven’t necessarily been all Kyotaro and Anna, idk how you’re terming this as occasional side character stuff. The summer festival mini arc was mostly focusing on Bayashiko, Nanpai, and Kankan, but yes there was a great payoff for IchiYama in the fireworks scene so that was awesome to see. 149 was all them, loved it. 150 to now has then been mostly focusing on Moeko and her ideal school choice, and now another festival. I just got frustrated with a few Japanese fans glazing Moeko to no end for anything she does and criticizing Ichikawa for calling her out is all. I also personally think Yamada is getting the short end of the stick a bit right now since she has to mostly watch on and can’t really help Ichikawa with his exams, or in any other way even though they’re dating, and he can’t do anything with her in public because he’s afraid of public eyes. But I’m sure that’ll be fixed, I’m just voicing my thoughts for right now. The chapters are not all Kyo and Anna hanging out, that’s literally the plot right now, they’re not hanging out as much for particular reasons.

Granted, my above rant was still a bit fresh and heavily influenced by me spending way too much time on BokuYaba Twitter. Lesson learned. It’s easy for anyone who’s just phasing in and out of the series, so maybe that’s why we’re not quite seeing eye to eye. Idk how often you engage with it. Also, I’m not trying to hate, I genuinely love this series. I just thought a few recent structure and direction choices are questionable but I’m sure I’ll be proved wrong and that’s what I want to see.

@BipulGamer07 I feel like it lost something since they start to date...
idk, the good part of when the couple "officialize" in a story, to me, it's see the relationship develop, and the characters dealing with new "couple stuff" that can't be adressed on the "secretly in love with you" phase
but here... with the whole thing about keep the relationship a secret, the fake rejection, and plus the "let's think about after graduation" storyline, don't leave much room for them to be a couple (they seemed more like boyfriend and girlfriend before starting to date )

I 1000% agree with this. This is precisely what I was trying to articulate above (albeit in a long post that’s my fault). But yes, Kyotaro and Anna seemed way more together and like a couple before they started to date because that’s what the story focused on and emphasized the most. Now that they’re together officially you’d think they could be an even sweeter and more holistic couple since they are one now, but instead there’s way more obstacles and uncomfortable situations and developments than ever before, which is making the read a little less enjoyable and harder to hang in there with (in general, in my opinion). I just wish all the social discomfort and hiding arcs would get resolved already lol
