Asuperu Kanojo - Vol. 2 Ch. 12 - I can see why

@Rozzak It doesn't look harmful for either of them and their condition really means that they don't have a lot of people who would understand them to begin with.
 
>something she has to rely on him but he can live well enough on his own

Oooh? That's an interesting angle
 
The author and mangaka behind this are great. To go from the last chapter which ended with Saitou on the verge of having a nervous breakdown after hitting Yokoi to the woman explaining why she thinks Saitou has a disorder and what it's like to Yokoi working through systematically on how to approach, talk with and reason with a distraught Saitou was just so well done I don't even know where to start.

I mean, think about it. The author had continuously been working into the story (think back to that chapter were even Saitou realized this from his browser bookmarks) Yokoi looking into how to help Saitou in some way and to be read up on her condition so he understands how to process and deal with it. Then when she has an episode, whereas other mangas would play it up for drama, he instead just calmly refers back to what he's been brushing up on for this very reason and turns what would've been a disaster into a positive almost-fluffy outcome.

After all the mangas I've seen where things turned into an absolute shitshow with no reasoning, it's nice to finally see an author that sets up something and properly follows through with it and justifies doing so. And on such a complex and touchy subject, no less. Holy shit.
 
Nice. Good job translators, and thanks for finding this interesting enough to translate.
 
@Jaegrqualm you have quite a sharp eye. I didn't think anyone would have noticed that. The fact is that I noticed it too late, I had already rasterized the layer. And this page has 34 balloons, so I just let it be like this. Maybe I'll fix It now that I'm not in a hurry. Anyhow, thank you for reporting!
 
@Ou_Ki I qc a lot, so it's kind of a hard switch to turn off. And I actually have something in one of my own chapters to go fix still, so I feel your pain.

I don't know how you did it, but I usually just lasso the top part and make a new layer on top it the text.
 
@Jaegrqualm yeah, that's what I'd usually do. However, that page had way too many layers like this, so I used the "fast way": I rasterized the text layers and then I used the rubber tool in order to remove the text that wasn't supposed to be shown. The con in doing so is that you need to redo the layers if you need to fix something. Anyway, I fixed it!
 
Yep, my brain is like that.. although that dependency explanation is how I wasted most of my 20s stuck in an abusive relationship. Sometimes really wish I had known about my Autism earlier on in life.
 
Oooh, that explains it. Yeah, I kinda relate to Saitou on this one, especially with the page with her being surrounded by words and yelling. That's pretty much me in a nutshell. Granted, I've had a much easier life than she did, but that doesn't mean I never went through unpleasant things.
 
This guy called himself dense, pack it up folks. If this guy's dense then I don't know what dense means.
 
I'm getting the feeling reading this manga from bottom to top again that Yokoi's being a bit manipulative at times, almost to get a reaction of codependency and rather uneeded emotional attention from Saitō, although it could be by complete accident...
