Oh Daaaaamn. Shit's about to get down here. I mean yeah, I get that you can be friends with boys but during a date with your boyfriend?! Now that's a lot of damage.

Thanks for the translation

 

[Wutopi]

Oh no

 

[Dioss]

Aaah and it starts

 

[kdramalover28]

Oops...

 

[tannies]

Reo ur nice but plzzz get away from them

 

[StaK]

Are you fucking kidding me I just picked this back up cause I thought things were finally gonna be nice. Why can't the authors just let the couples be happy for a moment before they start having shit like this happen and fuck it up. And why do the girls always either - A: not have even the slightest amount of social intelligence or understanding of whats going on; or B: not set more firm boundaries with these other guys

 

[Dioss]

@StaK we're just 5 chapters from the end so i expect this bullshit will be solved really fast lol.

 

[diino18]

Fucking called it.

 

[StaK]

@Dioss you'd think so wouldnt you? But I just google translated some japanese spoilers and apparently we get to spend the next three or four chapters dealing with this bullshit side character =(
And its not event anything juicy

Spoiler

, seems like everyone especially the girl is more worried about maintaining friendship with this jerk (dont care how nice he is, hes a jerk for trying to fuck up their relationship) instead of setting healthy boundaries and creating some distance for a time.

Instead of the majority of our dwindling final chapters being about their relationship improving happily, it gets spent on this crap.
Some might say "well it leads to development" but honestly so would have an un-interrupted date, with a kiss under the fireworks and then 3 or 4 chapters of romance afterwards. So fuck this forced conflict. Pisses me off that we cant ever just have a sweet story.

 

[Dioss]

@StaK awww that's sad i had high hopes in this manga, but it's seems it's just your usual Shojo filled with pointless drama.
thanks for the heads up.

and btw you need to put a spoiler tag lmao.

 

[StaK]

@Dioss I mean yeah I think it still has a happy ending but that ending is way too short, we dont really get to see a ton of them actually being a happy couple or a lot of them being intimate together.

(As for spoilers, I tried to avoid actually saying anything specific or stating any significant events or changes that happen, and I feel like if I cover it with a spoiler tag people will be worried about seeing details (that arent there) and not get the heads up I know I would want; Ill try and cover part of it with a tag.)

 

[Short_Circut]

ngl looking at how many chapters were left I thought this love triangle biz wouldn't really go anywhere but it's a shame it seems like it will :/

 

[Mayadee]

I've already seen the raws there's nothing too dramatic after this chappie, it's still the fluffy and bubbly shoujo to compare it with others. And there's 5 more chapters left. This manga is still one of my faves

 

[BrambleBee]

Thank you!

 

[denzith]

Reo you're cute but cmon... First part with the parents was all fluffy too. There's only so little chapters left and you wanna spend it on a love triangle? Let them enjoy a first date in peace. She was texting him, you telling me they still cant meet up fast enough? BRUH. It's 2020 can they stop with the unnecessary shoujo drama-

 

[Axolki]

Whoops

 

[FredFriendly]

What should Tama do when he discovers his girlfriend being romantically involved with another man while she's supposed to be on a date with him? Oh, how I wish he would just walk away and send her a text that her new boyfriend can take her home. How would he feel if he found out that his girlfriend was discussing the intimate details of her relationship with another man? How would he feel if she told him she was having sexual fantasies while talking to another man? Like I said before, this girl is a moron.

@Stak

@Dioss I mean yeah I think it still has a happy ending but that ending is way too short, we dont really get to see a ton of them actually being a happy couple or a lot of them being intimate together.

Unfortunately, this happens with many series involving a love triangle. As soon as the main characters become a couple, out of the woodwork pops a third wheel who the female lead befriends and becomes more concerned about than the boyfriend she just got and the rest of the series focuses not on the main couple being lovey-dovey but on the relationship between the female lead and the third wheel.

Some might say "well it leads to development" but honestly so would have an un-interrupted date, with a kiss under the fireworks and then 3 or 4 chapters of romance afterwards. So fuck this forced conflict. Pisses me off that we cant ever just have a sweet story.

Is it too much to ask for? There's another series on mangadex that is currently being scanlated that follows the same pattern: the obnoxious 3rd wheel is persistent right up until chapter 52 when he actually forces the dumb female lead onto a bed, leaving only two more chapters before the series is over. I don't know if it's the mangakas themselves or their editors, but they collectively seem to think that a romance manga won't be successful unless there's at least one love triangle involved and the more forceful a male 3rd wheel is, the better.

 

[StaK]

@FredFriendly -- exactly, it's always like this; with all these events that cause emotional pain for the chatacters. Im fine with some drama but I want more romance content than drama content - especially when the drama content is focused on a third wheel.
And I love when the couple gets a happy ending but I'm always bummed when I dont get to see much of it. I want to see some fluff and intimacy. I love when a story shows the couple being sweet and inseparable long after the climax of the story.

Are you fucking with me, why author ffs this was going so well until this son of a bitch showed up
