Comments for Namaikizakari 101 - 102


101 - It turned out to be a game against a different opponent ^^; Teamwork finally forming and they'll need it later on. Seinan vs Osaki will be basically what was Ryuhoku vs Misuzu before. Maybe with this defeat, Shizuka would concentrate more on playing rather than go on a futile chase for Yuki.

Hehe, well, Yuki is indeed slow. After all this time, she still thinks Shou is the same before who doesn't know his priorities. Has she forgotten that he did become a captain before? Perhaps, it is because Shou seems to be doing something like he used to but in the end, he does different. Though, he can still do both ^^ After all, he was keeping count of his and Shizuka's points. =P

Next chapter....lovey dovey or not? Well, with that last scene, it dampers the romantic mood for me. ^^;

*○o..:*(*´-ω)(ω-`*)*:..o○*

102 - Hehe, maybe because of that mother issue of his among other things, I cannot think of Suwa as badass. Or, perhaps I read shounen and he isn't exactly badass to me. ^^; I know it is for the plot here, but usually, it is the guy/tall one who holds the umbrella. <- no problem with bending =P

Fangirls should learn from Fuuka when asking a favor. ^^ An offer that one cannot turn down ^^ So, in the end, seeing her smile like that makes him want to do it? Even if after all that time, it isn't exactly his cup of tea since he is satisfied with romantic dates minus the sex? Did I get that right?

So, maybe, the third time is the charm. In the next chapter, it would most likely happen especially since it is Shou's birthday. Perhaps, Fuuka's pillow gift will finally help them in that area of their sex life. And, hopefully, next time, Shou would make sure they won't be interrupted + doors are locked...put do not disturb sign, before he goes for the 'attack'. ^^

  1. So about my comment in the other post I will answer it here , I mean I didn't know how to answer under your reply like others. What I meant is that he didn't play for the reward/forgot all about it. but when he realized the points, of course he would still want the reward. :)

    1. About the 2nd part, yes that's what it feels, like he's a captain/or at least has/gives captain vibes. If you remember he acted once like a captain-like before becoming a captain. And if You noticed too he did the same thing in the practice game in the training camp where he made a plan and turned the mood of the play. (Also like cheers up the players) and many times with ryuhoku. So I'm thinking maybe he has the ability of that. Which it doesn't seem so at all with shizuka. So Yes, you're right, it doesn't seem like shizuka matured in that, or even in personal side.

      Yeah..

      True.

      Too bad really...it would be nice to see everyone growing and maturing...moving on.

    3. Exactly kat. I still have hopes though for things these turn out and end up in the good way.

  2. I loved the chapter it feels refreshing and sweet in the same time. 😉 And I’m soooo happy that Shou did great and score more points than Hakamada 🤣

    I was wondering on the long run what is the author planning, like would Shou be a pro player and yuki be his/his team manager?? In Pro league 🤔

    Since she’s studying sport science, though Idk what that is, but I’m guessing is to became a trainer or a super manager, hahaha

    And he’s in commerce department but he’s really into basketball so I guess he’s aiming for an national league or something like that.

    1. Hehe, Dara, he should...after all the 'defeats/feeling bad' before this.

      Realistically, I'm not sure about Yuki becoming a team manager. Are their female team managers in professional male basketball? I'm not demeaning about what a woman is capable of but rather, more on culture and how things are. For a women team, possible. This is shoujo so yes, that's possible ^^

      Checking google, with that course, she can be a coach, personal trainer, gym manager, PE teacher, or sports therapist. So, maybe, a high school basketball coach? ^^ Personal trainer for Shou would be nice though. ^^

      Maybe he can do both...or open a business after he retires?

    2. Exactly!!
      Lately is just HKD, HKD 😡 the author is just Shizuka is great player, forgetting that Naruse is also great!
      He even inspired Shizuka!

      Oh that's a point 🤔 in real life I don't think I saw a female manager for a professional male basketball team 🤣

      Oh those are good jobs! I think PE teacher or sports therapist are good, for a change , right? yeah! Personal trainer for Shou" would be great, haha.

      That's true! Both is great 👍

      Delete
    3. Hm...what is HKD? I kept on thinking Hong Kong dollar. ^^;

      Yup ^-^

  4. Thanks Kat,,
    You still make some place for Namaikizakari reader to talk about its story.. ^^;

    I still can't grasp where is this going, but somehow I am imagining later at Yuki's last semester, she'll get a work at some other cities and they have long distance relationship.. haha,LOL But I can't imagine Shou's path,, hmmm

    Ch 102 about Usami & Suwa issue,, Back to romance plot again..

    See you again next chapter Kat,,

    2. Hai Mary, this is Eri..

      Yeah, I hate it too, but somehow this kind of arc popped up in my brain when daydreaming about them,, Yuki has accustomed with Shou around throughout​ college time, then suddenly she has to living alone at some other place, and she missed him, needing him, it will be some bittersweet feels and dramatic too.. Eventually she acknowledged her feelings for Shou more affectionately and honestly​,, #daydream again

      Btw Mary, on FB and IG there are full post about Namaikizakari extra chapter about date at home..

    4. Hahah, I see. Well, okay but still I don't want 😆 cause you know I would feel weird >< And I personally don't like it when a couple separate.. >.< I remember I read some manga where that happened and I really disliked it, I'd feel weird.. 😫

      And we got them separated When Yuki got to college and Shou still a high schooler for a year, so this can consider a “long distance relationship” 😆 Idk but The author can find some other thing rather than that. Rthan using theses kind of cliches. and I think Yuki is being kinda honest and affectionate lately to be honest, haha

      Oh, thank you for your caring ^^ But actually this is my Instagram account, omg 😂

    5. OMG, this Namaikizakari circles.. Sugoi,,
      I already followed your IG..
      Hahaha
      And you asked to follow mine too, but I didn't response yet,,
      Sorry before, because that ID just to follow, not to post anything (yet).. Gomen,,

      Yeah I agree about that cliche arc,, Hope author give us more pleasant stories.. hehe

      Yes, I like Yuki affection recently, but I don't really like the plot/story.. Idk, the sparks not really there? The charm wear off? Something is a bit off,,

      Eri again,,

      Delete
    6. Hehe, yup, Eri ^^

      From the looks of things, for me, it is somewhat similar to their high school life. Romance and basketball. Probably aiming for the Nationals. I thought it would be interesting if Shou's ex comes but for now, it isn't happening. Perhaps in 2nd or 3rd year? In a way, it seems to be more of a 'slice of life'-manga lately.

      I see, Usami and Suwa again ^^

      Delete
    7. Ah thank you 😊 But what do you mean “Namaikizakari circles” ? My Highlights/stories ? If yes, then I actually feel embarrassed of them, they're too many, omg 😂

      Ah really! I don't know which one is yours, ?

      Exactly!

      Ah, to me it is fine. But those stuff with Hakamada ruined the feels for me a bit.., so yeah this is my reason.

      Delete
  5. I think Hakamada just wants what Shou has. In ch 100, he asks Yuki for an encouragement, But like “say you’ll hit me” Or “slap me”, Like the same cheer she’s said/done to Shou. I think it's weird that he wants “the same” she’s done and given to Shou. if you want to date someone who had a relationship before you would want to create new memories not repeat the ones she had with her ex-bf.
    So I don’t know if he just wants Yuki because of Shou or because of her.

    I always had this thought, and with this time I'm like, maybe he doesn’t love her.

    But he isn't realize that and think he likes her. I think he admires her, cause of how hard working she is, but nothing else.

    And even when he forced that kiss on her it wasn't because of affection or love, but because of something Shou did, and he also included 'im a man too' like I'm like him too/I can do like him too.

    1. Hehe, Tara, that made me think that it is somewhat like what Suwa was looking for in Yuki ^^; Perhaps, it is both.

      What you say is possible. Perhaps, it is all that but then, he never thought of it that way. Kira is implying that it is love. Shou is acting like he is a love rival. So, perhaps, it is natural for him to think that it is indeed love.

      Delete
    2. Yes, it can be both. Like he wanted someone to appreciate his work. But unlike suwa who doesn't have the relation Hakamada had with Shou, There's not that side. Cause Hakamada actually was looking up to Shou, like, "his hero" and I think he still, but just denies it. So it's that kind of wanting to have/take what your hero has,, kind of want to prove to them I would surpass you/defeat you. Of course that when that relationship ruins, like what happened with Shou and him. Though I think even if it didn't, that kind of "2 guys where one is the top (protect him, etc) and the other no" can make that born, "inferiority, deficit feeling, jealousy, maybe hate" that would lead that person to want to surpass and take what that one has. And that's what we have been seeing of Hakamada starting that rivaly with Shou in basketball. Then for Yuki. But that won't stop, see, he's wanting even the little things, like that "cheering" ,, and since we didn't see a character development/growing up for Hakamada, I'm hoping for Shou to get close to him, then maybe many things will be clear and solve..

      Exactly, since he's considering 'the rival' i Wonder if the author will put that on the manga..

      Delete
    3. I see. I got your point. It's quite possible. That would be nice...if the manga leads to that.

      Delete
    4. Exactly, it would be very interesting.

      Thank you Kat, cause you got my point and interacted with me. :)

      Delete
  6. Thank you Kat for the comment ^^

    I don't know if I like it or not, that making Kira's team the new opponent. well I think I don't like, haha. (Plus I don't find it interesting) but since you said that it'll be the new Ryuhoku × Misuzu, I understood the author point. But I still don't like it, haha.

    by “with that last scene, it dampers the romantic mood for me” you mean that you got the impression that no lovey-dovey next chapter? If yes. Then yup I also felt the same from that scane, haha.
    But this is indeed lame, I mean she has been making us expect and excited and all for Yuki's so sweet move (a hickey) then ┐( ˘_˘)┌

    I changed my name kat, haha. it's easy now that it's a blogger profile. And a single name is better. I always wanted to it. But Google+ requires 2 parts names, so.

    1. Hai Mary, this is Eri..

      Damper huh? I got the feeling too when read that last scene, instead, the romantic theme moves to Suwa & Usami at ch 102.
      I got spoiler from the raw,, It says about Usami progress and yes no pillow for Shou BD gift..

      At least for Ch 103 it will about Shou BD, Yuki still has chances,, haha

      Delete
    2. Oh yup! I actually got disappointed when I knew 102 is about usami and suwa, haha. IDK I really wanted and excepted Shou × Yuki. And So Miyuki teacher really skipped the reward, whoa, haha.

      Oh yeah, I understood something about usami, and i think it's that thing I really dislike, haha. Yes, what's that "no pillow for Shou" ! Can't understand.

      Yesss, I got so happy that 103 will be about Shou's birthday!! I always wished that to happen (♡ω♡) that one of them make a birthday/party for the other >.< especially since they didn't get to properly celebrate it! I'm so excited (≧▽≦)

      But unfortunately until July 20th, author is taking break 😓

      And so the author skipped a month in chapter 102 (June) cause in chapter 99 it mentioned that they're in midway May. So 100-101→ June. And then July → 103, I think she worked on it to be almost the same as real life, cause Shou's birthday is on July 25th, haha, so chapter 103/his birthday would be almost the same time, haha.

      Also July 25th is the new extra chapter's date. I Wonder if it'll be hot again 😂

      Delete
    3. This is Eri,,

      Wow, so Sensei made some deadline herself, made chapter 103 release at Shou BD.. ^^

      Whaaah, another extra chapter again? So many already, so many fan services,, Like it! ^^
      Let's wait another month.. LOL

      Yes I'm anticipating that too, BD party,, Almost 4 years they know each other.. They never celebrate together,,
      But I'll keep my expectation low nevertheless.. hehe

      [Yes/no pillow] mean something like Usami said at 102:
      "If you have a [yes/no pillow], you won't have to talk like that at the front door ..."
      Something like OK or not to that, ehm..
      It's one thing that occasionally showed at more mature manga,,
      (even though I just read about that pillow ONCE, ACCIDENTALLY at Shonen manga)
      I haven't read about them at Shoujo manga until recently..

      Delete
    4. Thanks for reading, mary ^-^

      Haha, why don't you like it?

      In a way...but rather, after what Shou said earlier, then Yuki's last thoughts is 'Being with Naruse is a pain'. After the build up, it went straight down. ^^;

      Ya.

      I see. ^^ At first, I thought you are new ^^;

      Delete
    5. Eri, yess ^^

      Yupp :))
      Actually Evey year/summer some popular works of 'Hana to yume' get an extra chapter, in their other magazine. Fortunately for miyuki Sensei, the date is on Shou's birthday, haha. That one when they went to the beach and 68,5 and 86,5 all released on that date.

      Exactly. Haha, the same for me 😂 like here I got excited then there'll be nothing, haha.

      Ah, actually I don't understand 😅 is the “the pillow” refer to something in manga?

      About the other thing, I think usami is like "why don't you do something to me, you don't see me as a woman" Agh, I really dislike that, like I find it indeed humiliating as a girl. And they are just a month couple, so.

      Ah at least we got that so cute magazine cover of Yuki and Shou for chapter 102, Hehe >.<

      A Japanese friend told me it has been burned in the bookstore cause of the cover 😂

      Oh volume 16 also released with it. Miyuki Sensei mentioned that she made sure there are enough copies this time. since with the previous volume they needed to print more,, fans have to wait for another month. I told you that before if you remember, ^^

      Delete
    6. Kat,
      Cause I don't want things related to Hakamada. And cause I don't like Kira, nor his toxic smile nor his personality. :3

      Haha, so like, it ruined it for you? But I think it was just for comedy/+ this is Yuki.
      But yeah maybe the joke is heavy, or I don't know why the Mangaka still think that making her says/thinks that is a good thing! Well this is how is it to, so.

      Haha, it is me “Mary scent” but yeah I changed my picture too, cause when I changed my name the previous one got blurred/inverted, I don't know why. So I had to remove it. Then I didn't want to let it without so I put the one that popped first from my gallery, 😂

      Delete
    7. I see. ^^

      Ya, I know. ^^ Still, it ruins the mood/build up but then, this happens a lot already ^^;;

      Haha, I see ^^

      Delete
    8. I see.

      Ah right kat, why They don't make male leads in shojo manga hot (cool) ? I mean aside from Shou (also Kai, and Usui, tomeo, I'm not a fan of those tho, haha) there are no others, or there are others? I mean I really dislike those uncharming guys they make, it's Annoying to me to read like that, and their personality is going to be a torture to me. *.*

      Oh Kat this is the extra chapter that released in February (in that booklet) look at it, if you want 🙂

      Also I collected the omakes, look at them too, they're funny, haha.
      https://www.instagram.com/p/BwNd7ACAVmC/?igshid=h2rnhvm8rchq

      I always wanted to tell you about that and keep forgetting, haha. About how there are many guys reading Namaikizakari,, i got so surprised to be honest, hahs. I one day accidentally looked at a site (manga site) and found so many guys comments. And also in the group in FB, page, etc. And you know their comments/posts are really mature and deep, much more than girls I think, haha. Also they love Shou and Yuki so much, as a couple, (also individually-personality) and they're so loyal to them, much more than some girls I think too, 😂. Cause to be honest I got shocked of how girls react to rivals in general, their comments and thoughts shocked me.. i found them kinda heartless,, I was stupid because I thought only men are Cheaters 🙂 up until now.
      And they would be very upset when Hakamada or other guy do something to Yuki (also a fight, etc) much more than girls I think too 😂 reading Their frustrating comments made want to tell them "ah don't worry it'll be fine" haha, really.

      I wonder if it's the same for other shojo! , I thought the reason might be cause it has a basketball side, but nah they're actually into its romantic side more (into Shou and Yuki) , haha.

      Ah right, you see the college club members give me a sloppy/lazy image rather than a healthy basketball players, like Shou for example. I mean like they are drunkers, they drink so much, and fool around. And Shou made some remarks about that like "drinking again". So yeah 😆

      I'm sorry about the removed comments, please delete them,,

      Delete
    9. It depends on the story. There are cool guys, childhood friend, boy next door, etc. ^^ The ones you mean are bad boy-types?

      Hehe, the colored page is nice ^^ Thanks for sharing ^-^

      I think it depends on the series. Perhaps, something that isn't purely romance? Like what you mentioned, there is about basketball. Or perhaps, tastes change? There are manga aimed towards guys that are romance.

      I do get the impression that there are more drinking during college. I recall when I was in Milan, the tour guide say that he stays at home always to study because if he goes to school, he'll just end up drinking. Exaggeration?

      Delete
    10. “bad boy-types” hehe, well I think. Hm, but there are boys they'd say they're cool but they actually aren't, haha. especiallytheir eyes, I mean they draw them very incharming but the eyes boys here in Namaikizakari are so charming and hot, hehe.

      Ah you mean Shou's one (cover)? It actually did a big noise, Haha, I mean they liked it, he looks hot and all. Well he really do look good there, hehe.

      Cause you know there are some moments (pics) of him that most people like but I don't really, like officer Shou, think they think he's hot and all. But I don't really like it, I mean Normal, haha, rather I like other ones. I always don't like what most people like, haha. That somehow makes my life harder 🤣

      Hm, maybe.

      Haha, I see. Though Shou doesn't seem to drink too much. Well he doesn't like those gatherings so that'd help too, haha.

      Ah you see about usami and suwa, haha, I was so surprised, I really didn't expect they'd do it that fast. I think the author should went with them more. (For them to know each other more, love each other, feel comfortable towards each other, etc) but oh well.

      Anyway. I really love how usami interacts with Shou, haha😂, how she gets along with him. he doesn't talk too much, with anyone, especially girls, so it's so nice to me seeing him getting along with usami. Like she easily broke his wall.
      And it's nice to see him getting along with his GF's friend, and help her/them. Hehe.

      but I'm wondering how do usami-san know about Shou's birthday? 🤔

      And I'm really happy that Yuki is continuing to wear cutely >.< she looked Soo cute and pretty there!!

      And Aw, I really hope that Yuki will make a birthday party for Shou or something 🙏><🎂 I always wished for that, for one of them's BD party ><💕

    11. Hm...so is it the drawings or the character/personality or both? ^^

      Yup ^^ Fan service ^^

      Haha, I see.

      True.

      I agree but then, perhaps, it is a contrast to the main couple? Unlike the female mc/Yuki, it is Fuuka wants to do it asap. ^^; If he doesn't = she doesn't love her/sees her as a woman.

      Yup. Hm...if Yuki didn't tell her, perhaps, she saw it on some school records?

      Hm...birthday party = many people = no lovey dovey, right? Not a birthday special date?

      Delete
    12. This comment has been removed by the author.

      Delete
    13. Both, hehe.

      It is indeed a “contrast” 😂 aw seeing Yuki for many time made me wonder more when seeing girls like usami, haha.

      Tbh I don't like girls like usami who are all over their BF/ML, seeing them is torture to me 😂 most MCs are like that (some not that funny-type but like that) so Yuki is a blessing to me, 😂

      Oh, I was actually going to tell you that this is what I thought about Usami/the chapter: “he should sleep with me or else he doesn't love me” I thought I was wrong so wanted to ask you, but you think the same so it is it, haha.

      Still I really didn't expect the Mangaka to pull sex that quickly with them. Tbh I thought of them before in myself like “oh, of course the Mangaka won't reach that point since they just started dating” but then WOW 😲

      Ah, Usami mentioned that it's not her first time, right? Well, of course, that explains how she wasn't the slightest scared or something, 😂

      Oh, possible. Hope the Mangaka
      lets us know cause I want to know, hehe.

      Oh no, I meant a birthday special party, hehe, just the two of them. Like, Yuki prepares a small cake and all.
      - i don't know about you kat but I miss their lovey-dovey, hehe.

      Ah, what do you mean Kat by “the third time is the charm” ?

      You made me laugh so much with your “not interrupting” words 😂

      Haha, I want to see that pillow. Everyone is waiting for the pillow 😂
      I just hope Yuki would turn it to the “Yes” side 😂

      Thank you kat about chapter 102's comment ^^.

      Delete
    14. Hehe...

      True.

      It is wrong but apparently, many think that way - sex as a way to prove one love the other. Some guys use it to get the girl then leave them afterwards/ensure that the other belongs to them. Hm...some people here say it can prove if the other is gay or not.

      It actually didn't surprise me because of Suwa's past and how Fuuka is. I actually thought that they have done it earlier. 😅

      I get the impression that it isn't her first time...but then, it's possible that it's her personality. You know, the ones who want to have sex with a hot guy.

      The reward. The first one didn't happen because of the mood = chapter 101. The second one in 102, they got interrupted so maybe, on the third time...😉

      I think she will ^^

      Thanks for reading ^-^

      Delete
    15. Ah no I actually meant if the impression I got of the chapter true or wrong 😅 of course I know that wanting to make love out of such reason is wrong, i actually didn't like how things ended up here, and how Usami acted at all, hehe 😅

      Haha, really! is it that serious! I mean guy-thing 😆

      Hahaha, is that so 😂 Well, yup, you're right regarding those reasons, haha, but still I thought they would follow the Manga expectations/kind, hehe.

      Haha, you're right.
      Ah, that reminds me of tono-kun and his GF, she's like a fangirl to him, and she threw herself on him, thinking he should have sex with me or else he doesn't love me, and like she just wanted to have sex with him too,, aw how annoying when it's like that. Haha.

      Oh, haha, you're right. Then Hopefully >< hehe

      Haha, your too optimistic again. Like when you expected that Shou would score more and I didn't, and then you were right, haha.

      Oh, right about that extra I got some translation. Apparently Shou asked her they go shopping and make pancakes. After that while they're watching that horror movie he rented, Yuki told him “I enjoy spending time with you Naruse” and then of course he won't handle it, hehe. Then he kissed her and then.., She told him what about the pancakes (they didn't make them yet) he told her “More than that, Yuki senpai seems to be 100 times delicious” ,, and while they're doing it, Shou told her “i enjoy doing merry things with you senpai (shopping, watching movies, make sweet..)” then Yuki got touched (that expression) hehe. Then Shou's voice couldn't out clearly, haha, he told her I can't talk well, and he was trying to say so something, while she “yes? What?” she thought he is going to say something important, haha, but he then said “i forgot to buy cinnamon” lol, 😂 then she shouted on him to shut up, haha.

    16. I see. In a way, it seems rushed.

      Here, it is. There was a scandal here before when this actress accuse the actor of being gay because he won't sleep with her. That is usually a 'test' to know if the other is gay or not.

      Usually, if it isn't the main couple, I think it doesn't follow. ^^

      Yup.

      =)

      Haha... Though strange of him to still think of it. ^^;

      Delete
    17. Exactly.

      Omg, I see, haha. But if he's gay then why would he get a girlfriend? Is it because he wants to hide that? Like, this is still something not likable after all.

      Oh, I see 😅 well kind of thought too they'd change, since this is a serious relationship and all. I don't know how to explain it, haha

    18. Yes. It is to hide it especially if one is very handsome and popular = less fans = less money. For normal people, yes, it isn't desirable...not quite openly accepted. The worst case scenarios are usually to prove that one's a man by marrying...only for the woman to find out later on that he is actually gay. We don't have divorce here but one can get a separation if one has lots of money.

      Maybe, the mangaka would want to do a reverse? Sex first and everything else, deal with it later.

      =)

    19. Wow, I see. Ah, what do you mean you don't have divorce there ?? 😲

      Hehe, oh well.

      Ah, I got a question kat! Why would authors draw the same art for all their manga? I mean, I don't think they can't draw new art/different characters with their high skills, right? So are they doing it deliberately to distguish their works/art ? Or maybe Every painter has their basic (I mean eyes, shapes, etc)? But still, they actually draw the exact same character not basics and all. Ah, I don't like it 🙄

      I remember I read some manga, they're exactly the same art/characters, omg! I don't like it, it feels weird and annoying, it's like you're reading the other manga 🙄 I don't remember the names, haha. But I completed one of them here in your blog, since the eng Scan didn't finish it, Idk if they do now though. The girl has black hair and the guy keep dyeing it many times, haha. I didn't really like it, especially at the end. I just finished it for some reason.
      You can easily know this manga is from that author because of the art. 🙃

    20. We don't have divorce here. In the whole world, iirc, it is only our country and the Vatican that don't have it. We only have annulment = marriage never happened. And, to do that, you have to go to court, and it takes a long long time that you need some grease money for it to move. Only the rich usually goes for that = to be able to legally marry again.

      It is more of their art style. Yes, it can also be a way to distinguish their art work like if you see this kind of drawing...you'll think, ah, this looks familiar.

      Do you mean Boku-tachi wa Shitte Shimatta? Well, I do get your point. At times, I recall a certain character in new series...looks the same as the old series...it feels weird. Haha, I guess it is like in movies/tv series. It's this actor playing this new role but somehow, I'm still thinking of his old role.

      Anyway, regarding the authors, I think there are two kinds. One who is really good in drawing and one is good in storytelling. Perhaps, the one you're mentioning is more authors who are good in drawings that they can go for different looking characters. Some are good in stories so they just draw the basic ones that they know with a few adjustments and that will do.

      Well, that's just my observation ^^

      Delete
    21. Ohh I see. if I'm in your country I would never get married then, haha.

      I see.

      Yes, this one, Boku-tachi wa Shitte Shimatta, and Akaiito, and Barairo no Yakusoku, they're so similar, haha 😂

      I read akaiito first, it's good that I found it all finished translated, haha. It's good manga though, I enjoyed it. I liked the girl's personality, she's strong and all, kinda like Yuki, hehe.

      Then I read Boku-tachi wa Shitte Shimatta, I enjoyed it at first, but then when they broke up 😐 especially since the break up was for a stupid reason and it was the guy's fault yet he was the one breaking up with her, Agh. It was just because she pushed him when he was going to kiss her, I mean He was at the wrong, she was talking/wanted to talk about that subject, but he's just kissing her! And in the first place it was because his ex, I remember how he was flirting with her, remembering their memories in front of her, WTH🙄 IDK why they make guys do that, like doesn't he know that this might hurt her, Ha 😑. But he was the one getting angry and break up with her! when she told him that his ex is trying to get him again. *-* thought these stuff are childish and not realistic to me.
      And to me when the couple break up I would lost Every little spirit in the Manga/continuing it.

      Haha, I'm thinking if Shou is like him/behaves like him, he'd have broke up with Yuki a while ago, I mean she pushes him many times, screams and all, saying she has to do something first like even washing the dishes, yet he's so considerate with her ,,) they also fought but he didn't say let's end it. To me a guy who would go directly to 'break up" in Solving a problem is immature, and I will never go back to him no matter what 🙃

      And I'm reading Barairo no Yakusoku, but the English update is so slow.

      Ah, I read also 'there are walls between us' i liked it, the girl's personality is strong too. but the English translation stopped at ch 13 or something. I finished it in Chinese and didn't understand anything. Did you read or know it kat?

      I don't know, there are good manga that aren't translated or updating well, yet there are manga that aren't really good yet they're finished or updating well.

      Haha, ya it feels weird.

      Ah, I see. But all the authors that I saw up until now draw the same characters/same art. Haha.

      Delete
    22. Haha.

      Hehe, I see. With break ups/quarrels, it is not usually good especially if the rival who appears/is there for the mc is better than the male lead. ^^; I end up liking the rival. 😅

      True. In real life, most likely for me, too. In story, I guess if the guy is apologetic, makes up for it and 'punished' for it =P Haha, depends if the rival is better =P

      I didn't read that series. The update is too slow...actually, I'm wary of stories that are written simultaneously with another one. That was written along side with Akai Ito. Akai Ito has a continuation with Rino and Ren. It is too sad that I didn't really read it and well, the Chinese didn't continue it either. But in my last check, the mangaka has a new series.

      I know it but I don't quite recall it anymore. Nevertheless, I recall that someone was working on that series. Here's the summary I found for the last chapter:

    23. I will try help you guys on why boys love this manga, Haha. Hmm well I'm not sure why I always liked good romances and read. Most of my friends are the same. So guys like romance too, haha :D , so maybe it's the drama being minimal, and just the couple being a thing since the start. Most of my friends hate the over dramatic romances, haha. I like how its handled in this manga 😁 It's usually over in 1-2 chapter which is great. And also the feeling that the couple have for each other (and spread) are so strong. (Rarely couple are like that) that's how we guys see that. :D

      Delete
    24. Erik, when you say over dramatic, is that about lots of crying, misunderstanding and quarrels? So, most guys most likely hate love triangles/polygons.

      Delete
    25. Haha. the only Manga where I shipped the rival was au haru ride. God, you can't imagine how much I dislike the male lead there (and his personality) and also the female lead though, and the whole manga. You know, I regret so much and can't believe I completed it. I regret so much that i completed some Mangas *-* I have a bad habit, when I start something (anything) I should (at some level) finish it even if disliked it (●__●) but now I'm not like that, if I stated a manga then disliked it (mostly is when the couple are Shou-Yuki reverse, haha) I would stop it, I stopped many manga lately 😎 haha.

      And you know it's because I was new, like, When you're new (in something) you'd just do/read anything/all. It's been 3 years since I started reading manga I think, hehe. So it's still not too much, Haha. But it's so good, cause I would (my nature) feel boring with anything mostly after a year, so this is unexpected, haha.

      Also I really dislike the male lead of oukami shojo (sorry I think I'm wrong in the name) if there was rival I would ship him but there wasn't. But I don't like the girl as well *-* and the whole manga, you know, this is the most boring manga I've ever seen *-* I can't believe I finished it too, I pressured myself so much to *-* Agh, the author clearly didn't find what to do, the subjects were so childish and not connected at all, I really felt like the author was like 'ah, what will I do next!' 🙄*-*

      Haha, I see. Ah, you know I actually ship the girl with the one who's better with her, hehe. I mean not the guy my type,, like in au haru ride I ship the rival but he's not my type/I won't like or date someone like him, hehe. But the male lead is just a 'hate' to me 😑 no attitude/no personality/no my type.
      Boku-tachi wa Shitte Shimatta, I don't remember but I think there wasn't any interesting rival/s (but just childish) and I didn't like the male lead personality/not my type, especially when he broke up with the girl.

      There are other Manga that I dislike the male lead but there wasn't a good rival as well, so.

      But I'm wondering why would they always make the rival 'the cute type' (mostly blush) ? I really don't like it, haha. I don't like cute guys who blush (like Hakamada's personality) ,, that's what makes me more don't ship rivals, haha. (Aside from who treats the mc better)

      Ah, who is 'Rino and Ren' ? 😅
      I actually expected and wanted if the author of Akaiito included the couple's friends (that girl and guy) , make them couple and all, but she just didn't, haha.

      Oh, thank you for sharing ^^ it's good that I read at least the the last chapter, haha. But so they separated (for study) aw, I don't like it, haha.

    26. Kuan Erik, hehe, I also don't like over dramatic/drama manga and that's why Namaikizakari is my favorite :) ,, and thank you for help :)

    27. Haha...I'm initially wary of that series since in her previous series, I like the other guy. I browse it on and off and read more continuously when the second guy appeared. But, I immediately bailed out after they have gone steady, iirc...because it is already hinted that she'll go back to the main/the main will start chasing after her.

      I also do that but I would skip chapters depending on how much I don't like it or if it is tolerable...at the very least, read the last chapter 😛

      Haha, I see.

      I think that one was suppose to be funny. I read some chapters...and skipped...browse the ending. ^^;

      About BwSS, what I like about it is everyone gets what they deserve. Iirc, after he broke up with her, the mangaka set things up to make him really regret it. Iirc again, her best friend help beautify her ^^

      Ah...so guys blushing is a no-no for you? That's interesting.

      Haha, Rino and Ren are the couple's friends. I think it is suppose to be in the same manga but in the end, she separated it into a different manga....still the same vibe with heavy drama. Most likely, it won't be a happy ending because of the girl's ailment. The title is
      10-manbun no 1.

      No problem 😊

    29. Oh, Exactly. I mean he has been always ignoring and hurting her (with a stupid mother excuse) and (it) he was so clear and determined that he won't go after her (or confess/be with her/date her) for the rest of his/their life BUT when she started dating the other guy he changed his mind and decided to chase after her!!?? That's so much irritating to me, OMG 😑

      I don't get why they make the ML doing nothing (no confession first/no chasing/no fighting..etc) but just ignore and hurt and REJECT the girl when she confesses, And then when she'd go with the other guy, the male lead would come LATE and grab the girl's hand and take her and she'd go and it's done and ok, and do readers really think this is romantic and okay!!??? OMG! So frustrating to me 😑 (like in oukami shoujo, and au haru ride, but this late not the scene but meaning. and many others ofc.)

      So they're telling me love is when the guy does nothing/won't show interest in you until he sees you with another guy, then he'd get Jealous and want you!!! Ah God 😑

      I don't get it and really don't like it when they make male leads that annoying, who ignores/don't purse and all. That's why I was so fond of Namaikizakari because Shou confessed first, I mean mostly rivals confess first and I always found it unfair that the ML who didn't confess first and do nothing like the rival would get the girl, just because he's the male lead. Yes, I find it unfair because confessing, etc, require so much courage and sincerity, and mean that this person really love you/want to be with you already. Not like a male lead who doesn't really care being with you (already) and put stupid excuses, like (mother's issue, family's issue, pride, shyness..etc) Agh, please 😒*-*

      I mean, Shou did what in most/other Manga the rival would do,, if Shou was the 2nd M lead i would have shipped him 🙂 I would always ship the guys that have Shou's personality. 🙂 Hehe.

      Haha, I see. Skipping and Reading the last chapter is better than what I do/did. 😂

      Oh, I see. Ah, I also didn't like how she went with sex there, like, the way they were talking about it is embarrassing, haha, and not likable to me. Like, I don't know if I'm weird but talking about it like that is more embarrassing than doing it to me, haha, like just do it and shut up 😂 and she prolonged it to many chapters, Wa.

      A big no-no 😂 haha. Firstly, I really don't like that expressions on their faces, like, I would even avoid looking at them being like that, haha. I don't find it beautiful, haha. Then importantly, I don't like their personality/totally not my type. Maybe just maybe I would friend them but loving him as a man and want him to be in my life is 'definitely No' haha.

      And I find it so weird too. when I started reading manga and discovered those guys who blush and scary of girls I was like (@_@) and it's not realistic too.

      When I see them/Hakamada act that flustered/loud..etc. it makes me sick 😂 agh, I like collected and composed person/expressions.

      Oh, okay 😅😂. Ah, so that's why I felt like they were going to be included but like she decided no,, it was weird. So This is the reason, haha. Oh! 'heavy drama and ailment' I don't think I'm into that, haha. But the girl wasn't sick back in the manga, right? I wonder why she decided to make her sick. Is it still ongoing in Japan, Kat? And did you read it/these chapters in English? ; The update is so slow though.

      Delete
    30. Yup.

      I have seen worse. She is already with the other guy, going steady, everything okay but it turns out the ml still loves her. Dropped the other guy who is okay with it and went for the ml..in like last two/last chapter. 😓

      Yup...it is most likely playing hard to get and after some time, one turns around and s/he isn't chasing anymore...and suddenly have to get that person back.

      Hehe, true...though in those cases, it has to be a love triangle-type of story. For a while there, I thought you were talking about it is better the guy confess first before the girl 😅😅 Though, yes, I prefer stories with the guy confessing first than the girl 😊

      True...that part seems to drag a bit. Then, suddenly, it ended after that.

      Haha, I see ^^

      Yup, she wasn't sick in Akai Ito. Maybe she wanted to tackle about that ailment. According to baka manga, it has ended. There are some English scanlations available but it isn't finished. I saw a bit of Chinese chapters. Apparently, they are going to make a live action movie of it.

      Delete
    31. Yess 😑
      Ah, you mentioned that in her previous manga you liked the other guy. yes, I didn't like the ML and the story there too. Why does this Mangaka make her main guys that annoying who do nothing for the girl but her!😑 and i really don't like a story where the guy already has a girlfriend then with some twists they'd make her break up with him and then he and the mc would go steady (-_- ) like this manga that I forgot its name, haha.

      I'm sorry but I don't like her art too, the ML of au haru ride is so ugly, especially his eyes and hair 😑 Her art is so old fashioned too.

      If one did that to me, I will never be with him/go back to him. Though I would never fall for that kind of guys, haha.

      And guys aren't supposed to be the one playing hard to get, omg! 😐

      They always make it funny so it would look ok, like oukami shoujo, and also playful kiss., Agh I'm so sad that such girls-insult manga got that popular. 😖 Such mangas always the one that get popular! I'm sick 😓

      Haha, actually 'A guy confess first than the girl' is not worth mentioning, because that's exactly what I like, haha. Thats why I told you I stopped them because it's the girl confess and ask to go out first, this is so unlikeable to me, and I know how things will go, so drop better, haha *-*

      But kat it's always (mostly) girls fall in love and confess first 😔

      Yeah!

      Oh, I see. I don't know if I'll check it out/try it. hehe.

      I wonder what would Yuki get Shou as a BD present, haha, Hope it's something special like the earrings.

      Ah what if Shou's ex didn't dump him and they were still dating, do you think Shou would fall for Yuki? And then break up with her? Agh, I don't like that scenario, haha, it's good how the Mangaka did it. I mean, I don't like a guy or the guy I like to behave like that, no matter what excuses they use (like, he doesn't really love her) i would still feel annoyed and like cheating and unmanly. Like, when a guy do that I would lost my respect for him, I mean even if he'd do it for me, I won't like it, I would just hate him tbh,, like, I don't want a guy to be a jerk with another girl for me.

    Like In chapter 44 in the date, He was

      Hehe...well, that was because she isn't ready?

    2. I mean if they love each other, and wanted to be together, by not doing it how is that cherishing her? 😅 I can see that she wasn’t really ready on their date on ch 44 but on the 61, when he tells her that I thought you was cute but i didn’t get why he didn't do it 😬

      But I think he wanted her to be fully consent, since she wasn't really ready. In chapter 44 she felt pressured, Tough not from him but Social pressure, haha I Hate that, and it's everywhere.

      To be honest I was surprised that she thought so. and did that, I mean chose that way, haha, like in reality no one was forcing her to do anything, not him, her friends or anyone, it was just what she heard + her insecurities about their relationship, She gave a huge step there.

      Delete
    3. I see. Hehe, perhaps, the mangaka said, it isn't time. =P

      True.

  8. Agree, Yuki needs to grow up and know him more already. But she's Yuki, "socially awkward" But still.

    However, because Shou is like the type that shows by action rather than words especially when it comes to basketball, the match was another decent answer to her.

    I always thought of that, himino is better. I mean she understands Shou, knows his real/hidden self and intention. That time she told Yuki about Shou's feelings for her that “I'm pretty sure that Naruse-senpai only ever tells the honest truth” and several times where she trusted him, etc. And that was just cause he gave here once that advice. So I think the problem isn't in Shou but in Yuki. She should know and understand him as he is, like how he does with her especially that she's maybe more complicated than him. But I know how she is, her circumstances, etc. But still it feels a little unreal how the Mangaka is going for her, at this point of dating/knowing him. But again I think it's normal for someone like Yuki.

  9. Yes. I think it would be great if Shou and Hakamada were rivals only in basketball, not that annoying rivalry over Yuki. Also it would feel very refreshing if Hakamada just minded his own business and stopped trying for Yuki. She rejected him already so why can't he understand? Anyways I hope things will turn out positively and that Shou and Hakamada will start getting along...

    2. It isn't an actual "love triangle". because Yuki has ZERO interest in him on a romantic level. And I think he knows this. But we kept on getting improper scenes that are indeed useless. To the story or the characters improvement. It just ruins. Hope that will stop already.

  13. It is really nice from amamiya and abe to come to support Shou.
    And it was great match Miyuki Sensei draw, good job!

    Some characters are good. But I don't like suwa, And don’t see him really handsome cause he's got like a fragile mind or attitude. like he seem bad but he's actually weak.
    And I don't like his style, it was soo unflattering when he had that bag in chapter 99, Agh!

    Also I don't like Hakamada, and I don’t think he’s hot either, like I don’t see it, maybe because of his personality. He's unattractive.

    Only in covers of the chapters he looks interesting, but he’s never handsome really. I think he’s good looking but I don’t like him. His beauty is average, like Kido.
    In the covers the author tries to make him look more handsome (manly) but it's not that appealing to me. Like the 101 cover, she makes him good, but his eyes don’t have the same effect on me, he looks arrogant instead Shou looks sexy.

    Shou's personality is great. he’s got a mysterious vibe, since he’s serious, not that talkative and cool..
    And he’s caring too, love the way he takes care of Yuki. and respects her, he stills asks her if he can go to her place, like a good boy following her rules, But is daring when he needs to, for their relationship to move forward.
    Hehe, I need to stop or else I will write too much regarding him, haha

    2. Yes but the guy who has this style has a girlish weak personality. And doesn't look good either.

      Haha, Nah, it's not about types. But I have seen throughout the manga how he can be a caring man, he's capable. I don't know how to say it. the others are like can't be that capable with their girl, as the manga goes I see them as kids and weak guys, (in general and personal life) the girl the one who has to take care of them (mostly care) and bear the relationship, and that's what we're seeing with usami. And I'm sure Hakamada will be the same with his girl too.
      But with Shou I feel like He's taking care of a kid which Yuki, in a very mature way. :)

  14. Funny how Shou and Hakamada leave things outside of the court to give their best for the game. Well it's more on Shou, he's the one who starts and push that.
    Guess they understand each other since they knew how to play together since they were young.

    I want them to be friends again,, But is hard to surpass your “friend” trying to steal your girlfriend, haha. But maybe that’s what the author wants since she portrays a good relationship.

    And both Shou and Hakamada inspire each other, so maybe when Shizuka gets a girlfriend, I think they can..

    Well to be honest there’s no hurry to me, I still don’t like Hakamada, haha. And I think she has a to build their friendship.

    Plus I don’t buy this rival. If it is a different rival it could have been better. :+

  15. the author doesn’t seem to want a female rival, she just focuses on Yuki, since Arisa we haven’t had another female, but we had Hakamada and Suwa smh.

    Miyuki sensei just focuses on Yuki. This is Namaikizakari's big defect. Not just in way of rivals but in how she portray Shou, his feelings, how to make readers more understanding him, more feely with him, show more his impressive behaviors, shows more how much hardships and pain that he got, don't belittle those,.. and many other things. I know this is his personality, and he can't say his thoughts, but she could find a way. In my opinion MIYUKI SENSEI LITERALLY FAILED IN GOOD PORTRAYING AND DELIVERING Shou. I don't know if I'm the only one who noticed/think like that.

    The way she delivers Shou is "he is that strong guy, who is so experienced in love, knows everything in life, doesn't need help or advice, cool and not poor" but it's not true at all, he's actually just a so young guy, who is inexperienced in life, he also needs advises and help and someone to talk to, like any normal person. he's not experienced in love, his ex isn't even a proper example of saying that from the look of things. And doesn't seem he's into girls at all. He's perspective but sometimes clueless as well. I think his strong feelings for Yuki is what make him that perspective with her, cause he totally wasn't with his ex. So this is not how he is, this is part of his personality, but the Mangaka doesn't want to show us the rest or explain him more (why he's like that) maybe she doesn't want to bother herself, or want to give him that vibe cause she personally wants/likes that.

    We saw many times how he was struggling with things he didn't know/can't grasp with. But she didn't make anyone to help him, he always struggles Alone and finds the answer Alone. she would just make someone to tell him barley "two words" as a hint and he would do the rest alone. And this is itself is a big weakness, she could make more talk with him and the helper, that would be more deep and feely and FAIR for him, but she never did. (Yuki has him, and usami)

    In the last arc (from 79-83) where was Shou? She kind of removed him and focused on Yuki and usami friendship, and suwa and Yuki case, and usami and suwa relationship. While she contented by showing a bit scenes of Shou "talking to kido, and can't focus on playing/score) .. I mean is that enough and fair for the situation he was in? I mean the one who has been in 'the struggling and depression situation" was him, but we actually didn't see much of him, and instead of Yuki like always, and the others.

    I'm fond lately of these few times where she made suwa gave him some advices, it can show that Shou is a human too.

    1. Him being like that is hard (for people to understand him, hard for him) I know. because of that I respect him. But she could delivered him/his emotions/his pain.. better. By making him tell what's up with him and explain, for example, when he said "I wished if I was born before you, senpai" I got so feely and I realized how much of a pain he was feeling and how hard his situation was. I mean, no matter how you imagine how much that can be hard for them you can't feel/understand how much it is really hard when they say it/explain themselves. That's why I wanted if she portrayed him more deeply and fairly, like Yuki.

      I know this is shojo manga but she should also explain/include him more. I have seen others where they also share the guy's life. I mean, what do we know about Shou? Unless with Yuki? His pasts, life, etc. I have read so many people thinking/wanting the same. So I hope she will fix it/work on that. But Like I told you I start to think that she wants a guy like that. A strong guy who deeply loves her no matter what, don't get angry on her, just gives, and is ok with that,,

      I actually don't speak my self well, and not that good in English, so I hope you will understand what's my point, and correct me.

    2. Possible. I almost thought she was going for a harem when Suwa was interested in her. ^^;

      I got your point. I also wondered about that. I thought, how come we even have Shizuka's thoughts but almost none from Shou. Is it part of the story to keep us guessing how he'll react in certain situations? And that will be the twist in the story?

      Hm...perfect guy? <- 'A strong guy who deeply loves her no matter what, don't get angry on her, just gives, and is ok with that.'

      Delete
    3. Yes, though that depends on the personality. And yes your reason is quite possible. and like he gets more chance to explain himself than him. Since he's the lead and has more appearance. Just think she could work more on expressing him. So he could get more fair understanding and sympathy. Rather than doing it to the other guy.

      Isn't it look like he's the only one giving? I can't remember a scene where Yuki tells (teachs) him a touching speech, etc.
      But I got that this manga is like, the girl who doesn't know much in life, and the guy who does, so he teaches her. And this is beautiful and lovely though :)

      I’ve realized that before, like in term of the relationship between two people the love is equal but the “rest” is just Shou.

      = A relationship where one person just gives and gives and barely receives is not healthy and it won’t last. since the other partner is used to receive they are not worried about giving, and then the breaks in the relationship occur. Is not a matter of "love", But the relationship is unbalanced. Well I’m just thinking the plot in a real dimension hahaha.

      Btw, if someone shows up, I wonder how much time it’ll take Yuki to figure out this new girl is interested in Shou, haha. She even said she’s given up with girls. so she doesn’t see threats,

      I think Shou is super loyal, but he’s not as clueless as Yuki, and you can maybe excuse her for her naiveness, cluelessness but how many time can you do it...? Well he loves her too much and knows how she is so it is Oki. :)

      Delete
    4. Yup. It actually made me think that the mangaka likes the other guy.

      Ya, it is indeed like that.

      Depends. There are relationships that are like that yet no they didn't break up/separate. Usually, there is a reason to still be in that relationship. Most of the time, it's love, right? If married, the children. Or perhaps, religion/morals?

      Lol...you have a point. I think the ex-gf might have a good chance at it. ^^

      Yup. And since it is always like that, we can say that it is part of her personality/being Yuki. I think Shou has come to accept that and is okay with it...even if she keeps on doing it until they get married and everything.

      Delete
    5. Well.

      It is nice to hear that :)

      True. Actually I don't want her to make problems for them and stuff but I want to know more about Shou. But Honestly with his personality I don’t think she could create a problem, haha. maybe she would make Yuki insecure and that’s all. There’s no remaining feelings or anything so nothing bad would happen really. But it would be nice to know more about them, Was he as caring as he’s with Yuki? As passionate?

      Was she as absent minded and oblivious as Yuki or was she more aware of things? Haha. Arisa In comparison is not as oblivious as Yuki, So maybe his ex is not naive either.

      Yes. That's nice :) , haha, "until they get married!" But Well, I think you are right, haha.

      Delete
    6. True.

      Perhaps. Maybe she'll have something that Yuki doesn't and can make Yuki jealous/insecure?

      =)

      Delete
    7. Yes, I think if it's his ex she might be insecure about their relationship, like how he was with her. Though I don’t know if she can be insecure about lacking something cause Shou has made sure that she feels secure, I think. Haha.

      Delete
    8. I'm thinking more of Yuki comparing herself to the girl which causes the insecurity. Like, what if she is sexy and very beautiful, knows what Shou is thinking, what he likes, can easily make him laugh, etc.

      Delete
    9. Exactly. I was actually going to mention that but i forgot, hehe. I mean you won't feel insecure just cause the other party would make you so, but also by/with yourself. Haha, think Yuki has a lot of that, 'her self-confidence issue'. It was half why she was reluctant with Shou before after realizing her feelings for him, like why would someone like Shou like/go out with a girl like me. And we saw many times where she suspects/belittles herself (while they're dating) ,, I didn't find better words to explain my point better than those two words. :D

  16. Aw the coach is supporting their relationship as well, I was goneeee! Love it❤️❤️><
    And My heart felt so happy because Shou did so well❤️❤️❤️
    maybe one day in the future he may be captain?!?! I hope so!😍

    ReplyDelete
  17. True, Miyuki Sensei just focuses on Yuki, at least make it more balanced, that all for her and none for him!
    That seems so dumb on mangas, Like every male character falls for the leading girl 🤦🏻‍♀️

    I don’t think any other girl would get Shou attention, but maybe the ex, since she's his ex she can make him look at her and make Yuki insecure, But since he didn’t even loved her Idk 😐

    And Yuki gets on my nerves when she’s oblivious with that Hakamada 😠 I know this is a more “real” manga that’s why we don’t have huge plots but that seems so unreal, I mean A girl can't that careless, after a kiss and several hugs!

    And I think Naruse refrains himself so he won’t bother her or lose her. Cause it can cause a break in their relationship, I mean distrust has broken many happy loves.

    but for me it's annoying that Yuki is like that, Like the girl shouldn’t be a slave to the lead (like in most manga) but shouldn’t hurt him either.

    That’s not healthy, in real life you might get tired of telling your boyfriend to stop being so friendly to this SUSPICIOUS AND PROBLEMATIC GIRL and take that as a message that he won’t and you might decide to leave him. Tough I don’t think Shou gets tired of this since he loves her too much.

    I think he loves her more that’s why he doesn’t say anything 😓
    I mean it's good for Shou to be confident of his love, but not so much that you neglect him!

    Thanks God Shou is not like me cause they’d be over by now 🤭🤣

    Her logic now to me is just senseless,(

    if it was a guy being all friendly we would say he’s rude and mean to Yuki, it’s acceptable ,(

    But honestly it's like, she was like a wall, Like only him was able to read her, but like she can’t do the same to him..,

    1. Haha, ROSA, well, maybe not every male character unless it is a harem. ^^;;

      Not really. In some series, there is a bit of 'jealousy' since one isn't the 'first'.

      True.

      Haha, true. Actually, I'm thinking if he can do something about Shizuka instead.

      I don't understand this, 'if it was a guy being all friendly we would say he’s rude and mean to Yuki, it’s acceptable ,(' -- all friendly like flirting?

      Apparently so...and perhaps, that's romantic? For a guy to be able to read you even if you cannot do the same?

      Delete
    2. Yes and with Shou it won't work that's why 😑 or Maybe the reason why there’s no female rival, cause the girl could be more perceptive and caring and steal him 🤨🤣

      Oho true.

      Yes that idiot is acting like an insane person! What can he do to him! Well he can 👊😠 Agh, he really needs to grow up 😑
      But it's not like Shou is doing anything about Yuki either 🙃

      I meant if Shou was the one like Yuki we wouldd say he's mean to her, hurting her, etc

      Well it's romantic yes, but I was thinking maybe it'd nice if she can do the same.. nice to him

    3. True.

      Unfortunately, there are indeed people who are like that. For this story, I'm thinking about teaching him a lesson in a non-violent way. Say...'accidentally' pull his pants during a practice game, get some girls to 'harass' him, haha, though it is kind of bullying. =P

      I see.

      True.

  18. You see how much cute Yuki's face was when Shou hold it like that! Hoho, his hands are so big and her face looked so small, so cute!! Yuki always says I love "Shou's big hands" haha, u r right girl! 🤣

  19. I don't like usami and suwa but I was kinda hoping they’ll be a good couple, having my doubts cause she’s loud and he’s a player but after this chapter I see that she’s not the girl he needs. And she’s with him for shallow reasons, she doesn’t love him either. Because I never believed that he loves her and after that chapter I confirmed too.

    3. And that is it, isn't it supposed to be love then sex! Especially in a proper Shojo/romance Manga!

      I think suwa wanted to go slow for the reasons we all know (also enjoy those little new things to him, like dates and eat, watching movies together,,) but usami didn't wait for him/cherish him (even a bit, 1 month is too much) but just forced herself on him (from the beginning) she's so selfish. And doesn't care about his mental state, she just thinks of herself and wants to do things that just satisfy her (thoughts).

      And a month is too much short, to have those insecurities in the first place, because no decent guy/couple would think of doing it on this short time of dating.

      And if she waited more she would know him more and know how he thinks, and then won't have those insecurities. And if she waited for him to like her he would himself want to do it, but she's just immature and selfish.

      I can appreciate Shou more now, how much he waited for Yuki, while she didn't even have real issue, but More like pamper, shyness and pride.
      And now I got that Shou his purpose was to help Yuki (find, enjoy herself..) more than dating her. And that clearly shown in his words/their scenes. While usami her whole purpose was to date him more than helping him. And she still the same. (Think only in love/dating stuff, and her self)

    4. And in a different subject, I'm really not into those guys in manga (or any story) who are "Playboy, with issue mother as an excuse, mostly" I mean We all had/have problems, I had a big issue but I struggled, I didn't go and slept with every guy. For me the way a person deals with a problem or something reflects their (weak) personality. And I don't trust him either, I mean if he'll or we'll have a problem will he use that method again? Or will he use another method, like drugs! So ya he's just the kind of guys I don't like or respect. :D

      Delete
    5. True, so I'm wondering if the mangaka is going for a reverse. Doing the sex/physical stuff first then do all the other stuff you mentioned later on.

      I see. Though society-wise, I think it is easier for guys to sleep around than for girls to sleep around to cope with an issue. ^^; Hm...somehow I wonder if it reflects one's character/morals = how one copes with an issue. If one knows that it is bad to sleep around and do drugs, one isn't likely to go for that, right?

      Delete
    6. Maybe. Though this is not likable too much or romantic, haha. Right?

      Yes, you're right about that. But still, I knew and read about guys in his same situation or similar (other thing) but no they didn't use his way to cope with it. :P

      Exactly, it is about morals/character. :D

      Delete
    7. Yup.

      Hm...I wonder if the guys who use that way to cope is because he is handsome/popular...aside from the morals/character. I mean, if girls are throwing themselves to the guy who has issues. It can help them cope/escape temporarily especially when it happens during younger years. What do you think?

      Delete
    8. Hm, isn't that morals/character too? I mean if they throw themselves on him but he's not that kind of guys of course he won't get along with it. or at least one or two mistakes. For example look at Shou, he surely got/gets girls throwing themselves on him but he didn't be,, like this is his nature/character. Well, he didn't have an issue but still, guys like to play around. And even when he got through that 'unconfident experience' he never thought of that, but he always tends to stay alone with himself (figuring an answer, understands..) so ya Everyone and their character, morals nature, personality. :D

      Delete
    9. Haha, true. I'm thinking of temptation even if one has morals. Like, you know it isn't right, but having issues, it can be an 'escape'. And, not popular/handsome won't likely use this to cope if they don't have girls throwing themselves at them...they might use a different way...gaming/fans of idols-celebrity? Haha, I'm thinking of otaku-types. ^^;

      About the 'unconfident experience'...was this about basketball? I'm not sure if it is the same since iirc, during that time, he already has Yuki/aiming for Yuki.

      Delete
    10. Yeah but not that many times, I mean are those so many times all 'temptation' ? I think one won't back at it that much if it's just temptation (if he has morals). And haha, even not handsome guys would use/be like that too though.
      And actually I got the impression that suwa didn't get girls throwing themselves on him as much as he was the one using that way. What do you think?

      Ah, i was talking about the last arc, when he lost his self-confidence. Ya, not the same, but just to give an example, I mean he didn't think of that, like, I don't know how to say it, it's not his nature. But suwa, he's able to do it/he chose that way to escape, which not nice. But of course life is hard. :D
      For example, if suwa experiences Shou's situation, would he use that way again? Would he sleep with girls to gain his self-confidence again? Like, if I'm Shou's GF I won't expect he would do that, but if I'm suwa's I would (doubt) think he would. That's what I meant to say. :D

      Delete
    11. Ah, good point. Not exactly temptation if there are many times. ^^; Maybe after the first time, it felt 'good' so there are many times and it became a 'habit'.

      Iirc, the slapping woman used him to make the bf jealous. He seems to be a ladies' man based on how he seemed to be know-it-all at times with Shou. I mean like how he seem to manipulate Shou easily.

      Well, from this chapter, it seems that they are throwing themselves at him. In the locker scene, they did it on the first day and the girl bragged about it. Later on, he confided to Fuuka that he only do it when the girls asked since it is his 'obligation'. Though, in the end, it seems to be they are just 'using' him as some trophy boyfriend.

      Lol, I'm now wondering what's the difference between those girls and Fuuka. ^^;; I think it is only with Yuki whom he initiate it...want to date/be her bf...and she isn't interested in him.

      True.

      I see. I think there is a high chance if the gf, family, etc cannot help him out with his confidence issues. And, perhaps, as we mentioned, if that person has 'morals' = know that it is wrong...afterwards while having a gf. ^^

      Delete
    12. Yess, and here where the wrong is.

      Ah, wasn't it the opposite? I mean the slapping woman used another boyfriend to make suwa jealous, since she felt he doesn't like her. Ah, that makes me think that it's the same situation as Usami, with different way in dealing with it.

      Yaa, 'ladies man'. Ah, sorry can you please explain to me more about that part 'based on how he seemed to be know-it-all at times with Shou. I mean like how he seem to manipulate Shou easily.' ?

      Yes but if he wasn't into/in that atmosphere there won't be women throwing themselves on him, right?

      Ah about that one, Hehe, why would he feel 'obligated' I mean in the first place they were one-night/sex relationships (like that random girl in the club room) so he didn't need to feel responsible, I mean if it was a serious girlfriend he might/should feel responsible towards her/that, but it is not that. So I didn't get the author way in trying to give him an excuse. :S

      Ohh, You said that point! I also thought the same on how usami acted/how she is, 'what's the difference between her and those girls' haha.

      And regarding that, don't you think that since he said I feel obligated when they ask me, that he also gave her/did it with her cause she asked for it too ? But the Mangaka just tried to milk it by adding that insecurities/not see me as a woman.

      True.

      Delete
    13. No, the girl already had a boyfriend and then, had a fling with Suwa. She fell in love with him and will break up with bf for him. Suwa dumped her instead. <- correct decision.
      https://s5.mkklcdnv5.com/mangakakalot/n1/namaikizakari/chapter_78/23.jpg

      Hehe, I'm thinking this is like what you mentioned above...won't she do it again? Suwa probably won't take that chance.

      The time when he met up with Shou and Shizuka in the convenient store. I think he deliberately tried to irritate Shou by somewhat matching Shizuka with Yuki. Chapter 68 basketball game...taunting Shou. I thought he is quite good in this 'love games' and it turned out to be the opposite. ^^;; I guess I'm somewhat expecting him to be a serious rival who can cause trouble.

      Something like a loner/introvert-type? Perhaps not...though it probably also depends on how desperate/determined the girl/s is. I guess, if one is a teen, it is more possible being more emotional and everything.

      Obligated to make the girl happy? To please her...to please mama so she won't leave him. =P Lol But no, they probably just want sex with him? Or to brag they have a hot-looking boyfriend?

      Ya, though at times, Fuuka seems to have some depth based on how she can advise Yuki and how she deals things. But in this chapter, it isn't there.

      It is almost like that but, the mangaka slightly diverted it from becoming like that. Aside from what you mentioned...the scene was he tells her the real reason. She laughed at him. And, he got turned on by that smile/laugh and he suddenly wants to do it. ^^; So, it somehow becomes 'mutually' want it.

      Delete
    14. Oh, so the girl cheated on her boyfriend with suwa, I was thinking the opposite this whole time. Thank you for correcting me, haha.

      Yes. I think she most likely will do it again, she doesn't seem serious and all, she's just playing.

      Ah, yes, you're right.

      Well, yes.

      Hm, maybe. Or Obligated to give the girl her share/right ? Well, this is about the girls. but what about him, why would he feel obligated when he is (put himself) originally in just a sex relationship? Haha, I think the author messed up here, like it's better to say 'he feels obligated to do it because of his issue, not Because the girls ask' what do you think?

      You're right. Hm, I think the author sometimes change the characters as the case needs, haha.

      Yes, you're right. ya, His decision was indeed sudden, haha.
      Ah, about the part where she laughed at him, I think because she felt relieved that it's not that he doesn't see her as a woman (the problem not in her) so if it's about him/his issue then it's just a laughing to her/not serious. Haha, I'm getting a bad impressed about her.

      Delete
    15. No problem ^^

      What is 'obligated to give her share/right'? ^^; Hm...can't it be both? Looking for 'love'/mama's attention through the girls [not necessarily sex] and when the girl want it, he feels obligated to do it so that he'll be loved/liked in return.

      We know that he took it hard when Yuki rejected him. I'm not quite sure about the slapping girl...did he try to console himself by doing it with that girl in the storage room when Yuki found him?

      Yup. It is the same with Shizuka. At times, he seems timid type and then, a jerk when he needs to be.

      Ya, she's relieved but somehow I'm thinking if I'm the other party, explaining something and then, she suddenly laughs, and say, I thought you're saying something serious, that's it, so lame. It doesn't sound nice, right? Anyway, in that situation, it was good for her ^^

      Delete
    16. I mean like a husband/wife, your right in physical contact ^^. Oh, I see. I actually couldn't seem to understand what's that 'obligated' means, but now that you explained it to me like that I do. So thank you ^^

      But I'm thinking, did he dated all those girls and no one succeeded? I mean isn't it better to date just one or two seriously and do all those stuff with her? So is the problem in him, his attitude (personality)? Cause the girls can't seem to stay with him. Even though He's considering hot. Or maybe when they'd find that he needs help, they're not that caring/serious?

      Haha, but I'm still confused about that 'obligated' , I mean the girl in the storage room didn't seem his girlfriend or anything, so does he accept (feel obligated) with any random girl she asks for sex? Haha. For me it's him who wants to do it, then. For his mother issue/to escape, then I would back to 'it's better to say he wants to do it because of that or whatever, and not cause he's asked/obligated. :D

      Like he is the one who went to/wants to have sex. (Sex relationship from the start/he's "they're" aiming for that -> no need to feel obligated. :D

      Ah, I don't think they were in the same time, the slapping girl was before college stared, in spring vacation (Ch 52) while the storage room accident was in chapter 68, it was actually near the end of the year -> Shou stared to visit college/choosing his career for the new year.

      Yeah.

      And this is what I've been telling you, it was so lame and rude, and not decent or considerate at all. especially that what he has been saying was serious. But like I said, she indeed cares just about herself/her priorities, but not really about him. :D ,, haha, keep thinking that she's just like those previous girls, especially since she asked for/all she cares about is having sex with him. (Maybe the reasons were different from those girls' but they still shallow selfish reasons as well)

      Delete
    17. Ah, I see. Yes, it's like that. Something like eager to please. ^^

      In stories like this, yes, it is like that. Fuuka will be/is the one who succeeded. In theory, I'm thinking that at first, it was like that. There may be girls who aren't serious. There may be girls who were serious but felt that he didn't really love them = perhaps like what Yuki felt/thought about him.

      Perhaps, after a rejection, he'll sought comfort from another woman? Always trying to look for 'the one'. Maybe he is already doing that...date one at a time seriously. That one time, was a failure = slapping girl. The second one already has a bf. So, perhaps, Fuuka is the charm? ^^

      Yes, that storage room girl is most likely like that. Perhaps, a balm after the 'trickery' of slapping girl? Also, Shou mentioned that Suwa had hickeys. If we are to apply shoujo 'rules', that would mean the girl 'wants to possess' him, right? So, the one leading is the girl...right?

      And you're right, if it is a balm, he's most likely aiming for that. And being obligated in that instance is likely just an excuse. I guess we'll just assume that in most cases, he was obligated to do it when the girl asked but it's possible that it isn't always like that.

      Haha, true. In the first place, Fuuka seems to be just desperate to have a boyfriend and that's it. Not exactly about knowing about that person, etc and then, want him to become one's bf. It's more on the looks and being nice since her 'sense' is saying that Fuwa is 'the wrong guy' but she was infatuated/can't help but fall in love with him.

      In a way, perhaps, we can view this as her insecurity aside from just wanting to have sex with him. Like, what are the chances that he'll easily dump her afterwards? She is lower in the chain since the other girls already shared a part of him/sex. What do you think?

    18. Yes possible. Cause he searches for Mom's love more than love. So they would misunderstand. Though they're right, haha. Or maybe they wanted to help but they couldn't = somehow not serious.

      Ah yes maybe. he chose to heal himself through girls/sex. :D ,, hm, yeah maybe usami can be that one.

      Oh, we can't really tell, I mean who started. Maybe he gave it to her first. Thinking those are balm/escape make him most likely the beginner.

      But as I told you, I don't think the storage room girl was a balm for the slapping girl, cause they're so far away from each other (chapter 52 to chapter 68) maybe it was a balm for his mother issue, or another thing. :D

      Yess.

      True. Haha, thought She doesn't seem that she changed/matured now after dating getting him/dating him.

      Oh yup. Like, being the one that he is, is what makes her had those insecurities,, it's like he's not a trustful guy/she doesn't trust him. Like, if he didn't have sex with all those girls she probably won't be that hurry to want to have sex with him (have those insecurities)

      But I think that's too because they don't know each other, and she didn't wait, even a bit. And also because of her personality, quite shallow. :D

      Delete
    19. Yup...we'll just see how it goes.

      It depends. I'm thinking of it like he knew that it won't really help but when there are setbacks, he is tempted to go for it...for balm/pat on the head/ego boost. That is assuming that storage girl is just that one or two after slapping girl...and not many girls after slapping girl. ^^;;

      Haha, true. As I mentioned, it depends if she was his sex partner during all that time or there were many others. If there are others, most likely not a balm.

      True.

      Haha, yup.

  20. Regarding usami and suwa, for me 1 month is too fast to already sleep with a guy, you have to get to know him better, in my opinion. Ya she is the type who say what they want, but I don’t know, I felt it was forced, I think it would’ve been better if it came naturally from him.

    And I don’t know but she seemed horny the whole episode, and I didn't like it..,

    Sorry, posted my comment in the wrong place so I had to delete it.

    1. I agree, Carmel. Since Fuuka has different expectations, I guess it is inevitable. Expectation of doing it asap especially with a guy who sleeps around or else, it would mean he doesn't see her as a woman/love her.

      Ya, it does seem forced. I have to reread again and check out, why did he agree again?

      Lol...ya, she does have that impression, and I think she is. ^^;

      Delete
    2. Yes and I find that immature thinking especially from a college girl, I mean he can sleep with you but it doesn't mean that he loves you. :D especially with someone like him.

      For me it is. Cause if she didn't brought up the sex subject (especially in that pitiful way) he won't even think of it "When he stopped her" cause it was clearly that he didn't want to do it yet because of, 1/ the so short time. 2/ he thought she isn't like the one-night other girls. 3/ his mental state. so it seemed to me like "ah, she gave me approval and she has insecurities so let's just do it"

      And when he explained to her, her reaction seemed manipulation to me, (like she still didn't convinced but just acting) and it was obvious to him I think. especially since she immediately agreed when he asked her to.

      And wanting to do it/do it out of "insecurities" is wrong, in the first place. :D

      Delete
    3. True.

      With that, would this be focused on later on as not 'right'? Somehow, for it to be forced, it makes me think that the mangaka just wants to write about this couple and fit it in just one chapter. Forced = keep it short. ^^;

      Delete
    4. I also think she want to finish it about this couple, so with that (how she quickly ended things with them) I don't think it would be focused on later on or anything. :D

      Delete
    5. I see.

      So, does that mean that like Shizuka, this couple is a 'plot device'?

      Delete
    6. Ah maybe. :D or They're just side couple so no need to go deep and serious with them. :D

      Delete
    7. True...but it would be nice if she did...at least, better than how she did it in this chapter.

      Delete
    8. Oh, I know right. happy that you also think that things went not really ok with them, hehe. I mean she kinda messed it up with them,, The only thing that comes to my mind is that she wants to quickly finish it with them, if she won't back at it later which seems not, then this is the reason. But still. As you mentioned, to fit something big and serious as that in just one chapter (bringing up and solve) is too much. :D

      Delete
  21. I Hope Yuki will do an event for Shou.
    But to be honest I don’t expect much With Yuki’s personality, Nothing special or romantic. Remember, she gave him a study book or something like that as a BD present before? And he told her “it's amazing how much I didn’t need that” hahaha🤣

    I think Yuki loves him but has no way to show it, And she's not even the type to say I love you much 🤣 he's the same too I think 🤣 I think her way of showing it is in basketball, But since she doesn’t just takes care of him but a team her actions sometimes get los.
    Well the only good thing is that whenever she does something romantic it gets noticed.

    1. Maybe she'll/the mangaka will surprise us, Dara ^^

      True.

    2. Ya Yuki still surprise us many times, haha.

      Also Yuki started the chapter with a good outfit. Age appropriate 🤣 Not 👵🏼 style 🤣🤣

      I wonder how can the author show such great “chemistry and relationship” with Yuki and Shou and messed it up with Suwa and Fukka -in my opinion- 🤣

      Delete
    3. True.

      Perhaps, they are just 'plot device' like Shizuka or, well, they are just 'side characters' so no need to do that?

      Delete
    4. You're so right. Like, Yuki and Shou had to wait more than a year (poor him 🤣) But it shows that they were ready. And I get that it wasn’t the first time for either suwa and usami, But still it felt rushed, like the hormones won, not The feelings.

      I know every partner and couple are different and had their own pace but she just threw herself on him and he didn’t want to make her feel insecure so he did it, But he wasn’t ready, because I think he values this relationship, apparently more so than she does, and ended up caving in.

      Like, what was the point of them sleeping together? It is just 🤦🏻‍♀️ You now what? I could even accept if the desire got the best of them, but it wasn’t even like that, It wasn’t that they were hot and decided to do it

      And I'm just Wondering “why Miyuki sensei?” Hahaha, because I don’t get what's the point of this chapter either, it was a filler but not even a good one.

      Also didn’t you think Suwa had like a bit of deeper feelings in the whole sex thing? Like is not that he doesn’t like it but with his expression I guess he had a bad experience, Or maybe a good one with a previous girlfriend and now he doesn’t feel the same way with anyone.., he actually showed her that, but she didn't even cared, aw.

      But I don’t know why put them on the spot then, like, if she didn’t want to give much thought to them then focus on our golden couple, hahaha. And don’t mess them up. Cause now I have the wrong impression of Usami, I mean I thought of her differently, but now I see her as a very shallow girl, and I don’t know a word in English, but like she gave herself so easily. We have a word in Spanish though, hahaha, but this would be a close meaning.
      I wonder what happened to the author, she was so on point with Yuki.

      Delete
    5. Haha, true.

      Well, let's just say, it makes her feel loved. Actually, it was almost like what he told her, it feels like he is obliged to do it when asked. But the mangaka tempered it by making him 'turned on' by her smile.

      In a way, it is a filler if we think of Shizuka/this couple as plot devices. The point of the chapter is the pillow and 'lead/teaser' for Shou's birthday ^^

      Apparently so. I think it is more on bad experience along with his issue. I think those girls were using him as some sort of trophy boyfriend. In the locker scene, they mentioned that he did it on the first date...and the girl bragged about it. Iirc, the slapping girl was also using him. So, is Fuuka the same in some way?

      Actually, after re-reading that, I think it hurts more that it isn't that she didn't care, she laughed at him. ^^;; And it turned him on. o_O

      Haha...true.

      Hm...perhaps, the word is 'easy/loose'? Out of curiosity, what is that Spanish word? ^^

      Well, if the mangaka is going to focus on this couple more later on...I'm thinking she is doing a reverse. Doing sex first and everything else like knowing each other more, later on.

      Delete
    6. Yesss! And that kind of makes her like those previous girls 🙄 but you know, Honestly I think she’s worse because I think he did want to do it with those girls and that’s how he realized it was empty to just have sex and wanted to wait, but now since usami initiated it it makes her worse. You know how sometimes when there’s sex without feelings? I think it’s like that with him, That’s why I think he wanted to feel something else more than likeness towards her to do it.

      Yess. Ahahaha, yes the pillow part was the best 🤣 #excited for Shou's birthday 🤩

      Yes! I think he wanted “help” but she was like “I like you” which is the complete wrong answer for the situation. He didn’t want to say it and when he did it was a waste.

      I know right! And She was like “i thought you were going to say something serious” ah, really!🤷 Like what he said wasn't a serious issue! 🙄 To think that we thought she could have cute him or help him.
      So I don't know what happens with Miyuki Sensei, like, realistically he won't heal from that issue (sex issue + mom issue) in a moment/because of a smile, it's not magic 🙄 but she just rushed.

      also after Hakamada kissed Yuki she told her to don’t tell Shou, 😡 it was actually Yuki’s decision to tell him. From there and here we can see how she thinks and acts (like shallow) it makes me think that she cares only about love stuff/getting the guy, but not help or care about the other party. If you see, compared to Shou before, he was trying to make Yuki date him but he was also caring about her situation, listening to her (problems), noticing and observing her, and helping her. Which doesn't seem so With usami.

      Oh yes, it would be easy. It's 'Regalada' Hahaha. if you say that about someone here in Colombia they’d understand the meaning, haha. And it's only about girls.

      Well it seems so 😒 which I don't like, haha. I'm not into that couple, before and now more 🤣

      Delete
    7. In a way, yes. I'm not sure if we can actually connect this to his mother issue. He is obligated to please the girls who wanted to do it so that they won't go away. Happy = won't leave. So yes, most likely sex without romantic feelings. Most likely, that is what he wanted.

      Yup.

      Indeed, and I got the impression that she knows more about this kind of stuff than Yuki. Unless, it is the usual 'I'm expert in other people's affairs but an idiot with my own affairs'. ^^; True...it was like, let's get this over with.

      I do recall there were times when Fuuka gave the right advice to Yuki regarding Shou except for that one. The one that I can remember made Yuki rushing to Shou's place to cheer him, iirc.

      True. It seems like Suwa is a trophy boyfriend to show off and...have sex with? For now?

      I see. So, she's like 'give away'/'present' <- google translate. I think such terms are only for girls. For boys, they'll be playboys, right? In a way, depending on the culture, that can be macho/manly = positive.

      Haha, I see. I'm not into that kind of couple either but story-wise, I think it would be interesting how to portray that kind of relationship = something different.

      Delete
    8. True, I don't think we can connect the two issues here. Yes.

      Yess, Even though Yuki is like that but she helps Shou, cares about him, she's serious with him, she really loves him, for himself not beauty..💕 and I'm the one who's kinda mad about how Yuki is/with Shou 🤣

      True, it was chapter 58! And that stupid advice to Hakamada is also an incentive for him to keep complimenting Yuki 😡😡

      Yes, kinda. So maybe she will mature later on ? Ah, also her “well I’m just gonna kill my self” it was like 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ to me.

      I was thinking, actually to her any guy would do right? I mean since they’re not in love, she doesn’t really listen to him, she wanted a handsome boyfriend and was horny, so it could’ve been Hakamada, hahaha

      Easy would be “Regalada” but “ganosa” and “arrecha” are more about horny but in a derogatory or vulgar way, Those are unisex so it can be applied to men too. 🤣

      Haha, True.

      Delete
    9. Hehe, true.

      Hopefully, she will but I'm not really expecting it.

      Possible though type-wise, Hakamada isn't exactly 'hot badass bf'. ^^;; = not her type.

      Haha, I see. ^^

      Delete
    10. Yes, with her personality and how she acts, etc 🤦

      Haha, true. Can't blame her though, I wouldn't want to date Hakamada or someone like him as well 🤣

      Actually I’m so happy we didn’t get to see Hakamada’s blush and noisy face in this chapter 👏🏼😁

      But you know, I just feel embarrassed for usami, hahaha 'All needy' 🤣 I mean It's ok for girls to have needs and desires too but it's nasty to be all horny in front of your friends, Cause Yuki and Shou could tell, hahaha. I could understand telling that to your close friend but her boyfriend?! Hahaha, nooo, I wouldn’t do it 🤣

      I mean it was her all over him, That’s why they ended up sleeping together, Hahahah.

      I Don’t think they'll last, Maybe the break up scared Yuki and she starts to pay more attention to Shou 🤣🤣

      Also didn't you notice? I think suwa got a little jealous when Usami told him that Yuki and Shou ate the stew with me 🤔 and that's why he invited her out 🤔

      Ah, that made me think, how was Shou's ex personality! haha. And why they broke up, well he didn't love her that's why. She thought I love him but he doesn’t love me, and we’re going to different schools, he’ll be surrounded by girls and it'll be hard to make him love me back, or even having a relationship so she gave up.
      Or maybe she was a pretty girl and popular too and someone else was perusing her 🤔 She looked pretty in the pic. If that then poor Shou 🤣

      Though it is, The other girl gave up To Yuki’s gain 🤣 Cause I think Shou is very loyal, He wouldn’t have perused Yuki if he was still with someone.

      Delete
    11. Haha

      Ah...now that you mentioned it, what if he's in the next chapter? ^^;

      Haha, true. I guess Shou is a friend for her...no need to hide about it, and he'll even help her out with a little exchange/bribe ^^

      Ah, it depends. Do you think Fuuka will dump him after she got tired of him? Given Suwa's reactions/actions with her, it seems unlikely that he'll do it.

      Hm...hard to say. Why would Yuki be scared of with a Suwa-Fuuka break up? Possibility that Shou will also leave her? Because of what? Iirc, Yuki was afraid of that possibility but after some time, she has become complacent that he won't leave her. Perhaps, that is why she doesn't get easily jealous? Anyway, it seems that Shou is already okay with the amount of attention he gets from her. ^^

      Yes, partly. I'm thinking more on because that stew was suppose to be for him. Hm...should I connect that to his mother issue? =P Like, mother cooked stew for you but you'll eat dinner with friends. Then, later on, you found out that she gave the stew to the neighbor's kid. So, you want to make it up by eating out with mother = make her happy.

      Both are possible. I think she went for the practical decision. Boyfriend doesn't love you like you love him. You hinted this to him and he seems okay with the break up. Didn't pursue you to stop you from leaving.

      We can say that she's not inclined to keep on continuing the relationship while not knowing whether or not Shou will love her in the future. This is highly possible if someone else is pursuing her/give her the love that Shou doesn't give her.

      Haha, yup. In a way, it is for the best, don't you think?

      Delete
    12. Ahh Hopefully not *-* cause it's Shou’s birthday, so it has to be special.

      Oh True! good good. Ya, it seems that she doesn't want to hide it from him and like to talk in front of him too/let him know. Haha, he would help her without bribe like his cheering words in ch 84, and when he stopped the guys from stalking them in 90, and 93 but when she demands unreasonable help she needs to bribe him 🤣🤣

      But Well still, she’s too open, hahaha, I wouldn’t ask that to a male friend. It has to be a very very close friend, I mean, she’s asking advice to seduce her bf 😳 Sometimes Japanese seem shy and sometimes they’re like OMG we “westerners” are 🙈 by their actions.
      Well I think she wasn’t shy because he already knows all about her love problems, hahaha

      Haha, I think he’s going to mess up and she’s going to leave him. I think he’s the one who’s going to get tired but she’ll do the dumping, hahaha. Like he’s just a weak person and is going to let her do it.

      You know it's More like she wanted to feel like his girlfriend like all the others. And I think she’s wrong, I mean She wants to be another one of his girlfriends but she’s not thinking of becoming The One. Like i don't know but I’m pretty sure Shou and Yuki are going to end up getting married, because each has became special for the other, but Usami just wants a relationship.

      True true💕
      Hahaha, well you know sometimes i feel that she takes him for granted. that’s why she doesn’t get jealous. Which in my opinion is wrong, I mean I’m not saying that you’re Othello but don’t take your relationship to the OK level cause then someone could appear to show what GREAT is. Like, have you heard that usually people tell spouses to spice things up? I mean that when you get married the everyday life and routine happen and that sometimes make the marriage boring, since people are married they stop trying to make their partners special so the love gets weak. So when they “spice things up” usually they create special situations, like going on dates, or trying new things in bed since the sex life gets boring. So you have to work for your relationship and try to fall in love of your spouse again and again cause that’s the special part.

      = What i mean is, the little details are what make the other person know their partner love them. That’s why maybe I think Shou is fine with Yuki’s attitude, cause he knows her character, and the little things she does make him know she loves him. Like the towel she sewed. Etc. And viceversa, Shou's actions show her that he cares for her, Like, The way he helped her with her brothers or Usami (at first), just because it was important to Yuki. the ring that it wasn’t just a gift but a step in their relationship. Details (small or big) what make the other person feel “Oh I’m loved by him/her”

      Haha, maybe. So he just treats her in a mother sigh 🤣 i think he was the same with those girls that's why they leave him, jaja

      True. But it could also happen that her seeing that he’s in love would maybe make her want him back, You know to feel the love he gives, Like “the love she didn’t have but always wanted” haha.

      Hahah, Yess!! It's so good that she gave up, cause she helped two soulmates to meet, and a great love to born, haha💕

      But from that I think she's not the 'fangirl type' who throw herself on the guy and is all over him (like usmai, haha) and this is Shou's type, so I wonder why he didn't like her 🤔

      She would be a real rival, the fangirl type is nothing to Yuki, she can overshadow that in no time. And it's not about looks either, cause he wouldn’t be with Yuki if that was the case.

      Delete
    13. Haha...you'll never know. If it is a date-type chapter, most likely not. If it is a party-type, I think it is possible.

      Yup. Hm...in a way, she 'knows' him well.

      Actually, I don't think most Japanese are like her. 😅 I think they would be more like Yuki.

      When you say mess up = have a fling with another girl? Can't say. With the slapping girl, Suwa was the one who did the rejection. I think that shows where he draws the line. Hm...tired of what?

      Well, it's a first step. I think not everyone goes in the relationship => marriage. Actually, that is more true with men.

      Yes, I heard about that. There was actually a manga which started like that. She got bored with her boring husband and met a new guy at the bar after work, iirc. Well, you can guess where that leads to.

      But then, I guess not all couples are like that. Some are okay with the mundane things in life and stick with it...until the end.

      Yes. Perhaps, if one was to think about it, it seems 'unfair' since she isn't exactly like that to him. Though it was said that it is better if the man loves the woman more than vice-versa.

      'So he just treats her in a mother sigh' <- Suwa?

      Ah, that would depend on what kind of girl she is.

      Haha, true.

      It's jr high. I'm guessing that it is something like Shouji's. She confessed and he kind of likes her = doesn't hate her so let's try it out. Hehe, well, it is definite that Shou didn't fall for Yuki over her looks ^^ But, it can make the gf be somewhat insecure/jealous/uneasy if the ex is a beauty and throw in a mature personality ^^ Lol, what I actually thought Fuuka was <- first impression.

    15. *-* let's just hope nothing that irritates us will happen.

      By 'she knows him well' you mean like, she knows he would refuse such stuff, so she needs to bribe him and all ?🤔

      Hahah, I see.

      Like getting tired of Usami, hm, I don't know but he doesn't seem so serious/loyal type, and because of his mother issue I would think he would suddenly feel annoyed and let go 🤣

      True. But even as first step Shou and Yuki were aiming to be each other special one (were mature) hahah, well, I think this depends on the personality.

      haha, yeah I can guess 🤣

      Oh, true. Yes I think Shou just wants Yuki, he's satisfied just with her,, those stuff (that one should do to prove/work on their love) doesn't matter to him.. he's happy/satisfied just being with her. Haha, I think this is real love, that makes me think that when there's such love, those stuff doesn't really matter/exist. What do you think?

      Yes. Haha, I don’t like that tbh, I think they should be equal. Cause if you analyze it, if a person gives and gives and barely receives then one day he is going to want to receive but since she’s used to receive she can't do anything to give. I think that unbalance is a problem. And You know, the person who always receives might start to take their partner for granted and not appreciate the thing and gestures he does. And likewise the other person can get tired of not being noticed and just stop doing things or worse start noticing someone else who does.

      That’s why I get mad at Yuki sometimes, like she takes Shou for granted. You know he constantly makes things and has details of her, he doesn’t give up now that they’re dating he keeps making efforts to be close.
      she just gets on my nerves sometimes, hahaha, honestly the Hakamada thing I find it rude and disrespectful. and if Shou doesn’t do she doesn’t make an effort. it' like for her to do something on her own, something has to happen/be wrong and that’s just 🙄 (mostly) I would say “Oh it's her first relationship and she doesn’t have dating experience" if they just started dating but they’ve been dating like for two years and flirted for 1 so No, she can’t use that excuse anymore, she doesn’t have dating experience with other man but she knows Shou, and has instinct of what could or would he like. So I think she’s selfish sometimes and fixates on the wrong thing.

      I remember after they had sex for the first time Shou was shy and didn’t want to seem pushy so she, on her own decided to make the valentine’s chocolates, and even told him that it was ok for them to be together, that was a surprise for him but was also something that made him happy cause he didn’t expected that she'd take that step forward.
      ,, I love seeing Shou’s surprised face, it's when you know he’s happy and she’s doing things too.

      Yes suwa.

      True.

      Oh yes most likely. Haha, true.

      Delete
    16. Haha, ya. ^^

      Yes...and she knows what she needs to bribe him with that he cannot refuse. Actually, if it is anything related to Yuki, he most likely won't refuse =P

      I see. I think it would depend on the girl like how 'mother-ish' she is or perhaps, fill that need of his. The ones we know more about so far seem to be more on 'using' him. Slapping girl = he's the fling/'other guy' without him knowing. Girl talked about in the locker = want to have sex with him in order to brag about it. We don't know about the girl in the storage room but if we use shoujo logic about hickeys, then, she's the one coming on to him. ^^; Though, it doesn't seem like she's serious with him.

      And, I'm starting to wonder...what made Fuuka fall in love with him again? Because he's 'badass' and she wants a 'badass cool' boyfriend? Is that it? Well, aside from the cannot help but fall in love with this 'bad boy'?

      Question first, what are the stuff to do to prove/work one's love? Is this about sex? Or, 'things done'? In our culture here, well, the old fashioned one, the guy has to 'work' for it so that the girl isn't an 'easy to get'-type. So, it kind of shows that one won't easily give up on the girl after all the 'work' one has done for her.

      I agree that it is real love if one's happy/satisfied with how one is....accepting everything, etc. Though, I guess that is good or bad depending on the perspective. Like, what if the other party is a jerk but one is happy and satisfied with him.

      True. I think there are other factors to consider with that especially if one is married like it isn't balanced but one would most likely bare with it...if one can, for the sake of the children, material gain, power, etc.

      True. He is satisfied and doesn't seem to expect much anymore but I guess his love is always rekindled when she does things that he hopes she'll do...those unexpected things ^^

      Delete
    17. Hahah, true.

      Ah, I just think he's a jerk 🤣 he doesn't know how to love (since he's weak guy) he probably was playing as well, haha (dating/sleeping with girls cause he was hurt, searching for mother care..etc, are all playing actually) 🤣 but I'm not into him or the couple so I don't really care about him/his story 🤣

      Haha, I think ya, she just wanted a 'hot cool handsome guy' but now she discovered he's not really cool/badass 🤣 and I too, he's weak and not really cool, haha.

      But haha Honestly i didn’t expect Usami to be that easy and needy, I thought ok she’s shallow but thought she was deeper for the feelings.

      I mean those things like what I mentioned before, you have to try to do things to shows your love for your partner, like (Dating, making things, like gifts, dishes ..etc. also regarding sex) haha, I see.

      Yes💕 haha, I think it's not Oki here, like if he's a jerk = most likely treat you/behave bad ao being satisfied and happy with such someone is just some mentally problem, hahah

      Yes.

      Yess💕 haha, you see, so if she works more she'd make him more happy and make him love her more, haha.

      I think he like her shyness too, you know to discover her sweet gestures.

      You see, Shou didn't Conform and this is good, I mean conform is a bad thing like settling. Because it's like you want a Lamborghini 2019 and settle for a Renault 2000 cause that’s what you could buy. Settling in life leads to the comfort zone, and comfort zones are damaging (cause you don't like it but just cave in/gave up)

      Let’s say Shou wanted Yuki but since she was playing hard to get he settle with Arisa because it was comfortable being with her. But he didn't. It should be like that, In life you better shouldn’t settle, like Shou didn’t and he got the girl he loves. Haha)

    18. Hehe, in a way, yes.

      So, it's love that she's okay with him not being really cool?

      Deeper for the feelings <- in what way? Like being okay that he isn't cool/like how she thought he is?

      I see.

      Haha, hm...possible...depends on one's standards, I guess = regarding satisfaction in a relationship.

      True.

      I see.

      It's interesting that your comparison are cars. ^^ Settling for things, it depends since in a way, it is just being realistic like you cannot afford the Lamborghini. Cannot make this hot guy fall for you...but this ordinary looking guy really loves you and treat you like a queen.

      I'm thinking that there's pro and con there. Like, with Arisa, there will be no Shizuka-jealous type problems. ^^; Of course, there are more pros with Yuki especially if he just have to 'work hard' for it. It also helps that Yuki is showing signs of interest. Like, what if she isn't interested in him at all?

      Anyway, I do get your point but somehow, in real life, I think it isn't exactly that easy since there might be other factors to think about.

    19. I don't know, maybe, haha.

      No, like she would be more feely about sex and want it to be special, like I thought she would let it to him, and wait more long time. and the most thing won't childishly think 'he should sleep with me or else he doesn't love me' even with his background, because I thought she understood his situation and won't think/act like that.

      Well yes.

      🤣🤣 I see. Yeah.

      Yes. If she wasn't interested in him at all I'm sure Shou would stop going after her, Hahah. You remember when he told her 'if your answer is no then just say no' , he doesn't seem the kind that would keep going if they're really not interested in him/firmly reject him.

      Yes, obviously.

      I just mean that he didn't Conform to the easy choice but fought for his goal. Arisa would have probably treat him better but he kept on trying to get the Lamborghini Yuki , haha🤣 like, if they told that someone that he should work for another year to get the Lamborghini but he'd be like 'oh, no enough, I can't hold anymore' hence Shou didn't get tired, bored or gave up/cave in. ;; So in conclusion there's two kind of conform: realistic (including other factors) and work harder.

      Delete
    20. Ah, I see.

      True.

      Haha, I get it ^^ Yes, especially as we talked about, there is hope so it will just be a matter of time...just work harder and his efforts will be rewarded ^^

    21. Yeahh!!

      And didn't you notice that Miyuki sensei tried to show that 'doing nothing in a month is really weird', like when she makes Shou says "it's weird he hadn’t put a hand on her" haha, she's cunning. I mean I find it very weird Shou saying that because he didn't put a hand on Yuki until after a year, haha. And not just because of Yuki but he also didn't planned yet. Just if he meant 'someone like suwa' hahah, and I got that in his words. Also it was weird the way Yuki reacted, while she made Shou wait a year so I didn’t understand the surprise and shock she showed. But again maybe because he's 'the playful suwa' haha, and I clearly understood that in her words/thoughts. But it was just so lame and contradictory from Miyuki sensei, haha 🤣 she just wants excuses for her doing.

      Delete
  22. If Shou and Yuki had sex after a month it would be a very big deal, and Naruse would criticize so much, as monster and selfish and bad guy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ yet here it's fine with a month, I remember when some were saying "ya, ofc Yuki would protest they're just dating for a year" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ well I think people expect a lot from the main couple, when with side couple They're just okay!
    And even though Naruse waited so much for Yuki and stopped many times in the process of doing it, he is still considered monster and selfish and not good ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and even though Yuki also stopped him from going in their night, and she looked so peaceful in the last page, people would still say it was forced ¯\_ʘ‿ʘ_/¯ (even though her problem was shyness and pride, while suwa has real issue). and if Naruse wanted to do it out of insecurities (or you have to sleep with me or else you don't love me) he'd be hella criticized as immature, not healthy, etc, ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭ And if he wanted to rush things that much in short time, like usami with no consideration to suwa who wants to go slow (considering his mental issues) he'd be a jerk and selfish,, or him being that horny (on Every little details) he'd be creepy, but with Usami it's just cute and funny ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    1. Hehe, is that so, Wolly. It isn't because this couple wanted to do it and both are okay with it so no problem?

      True. From that, is it because Fuuka is a girl so she can get away with it? Or, because of her personality? Out of curiosity, those who think that...are female or male readers?

      Delete
    2. It didn't seem to me that they both wanted to do it. 🙄 It is just cause the girl is/was the forceful one then it's no big deal. (ツ)

      And anyway doing it within a month is too much, he still didn't like her yet, obviously and realistically. And she/they don't know each other well yet (not even 'really' acquaintance or close before it) so to me it's just sex before everything, with a couple who's considering serious (etc). I'm lost (ツ)

      Yes it is because she is "girl". no I didn't see such comments, it's just the impression the Mangaka is trying to pull, like 'comedy and no big deal' (it can help with her personality as you mentioned) but that doesn't matter, the thing still a thing regardless.

      Delete
    3. And actually even if Shou and Yuki both wanted to do it and do it after a month people won't like, right! While with side couples it is fine. :D

      Delete
    4. Well, in the end, he agreed to it so 'both are okay with it'. =P

      Hehe, for me, given her personality and his history, I thought one month is too long. I actually thought that they already done it. And, it is indeed what you mentioned, sex before everything else including getting to know more of each other.

      That make me think...so, as long as the girl wants to do it, no problem at all. And, wonder if the guy isn't a 'man' if he doesn't do it with the girlfriend who is practically throwing herself to him?

      Haha...standards for side couples are lower, I guess.

    5. I was talking about before, before convincing him. :P

      Yess, it seems that way. :P

  23. Like a boss, huh? I love that Naruse has never changed really, just like he was he still is, that's beautiful... And kind of rare, mostly is like 180 change of a character.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Mostly...in this series or are you talking about most series, Bryan?

      True...and that makes me wonder if the mangaka is going for that with the other characters hence, Yuki and others don't seem to change much.

      Delete
    2. Oh, yeah, I'm talking about other manga. And Yuki too (this is rare too :-D)
      So, mostly MCs and FMCs in manga change, authors change their characters in the "process of falling in love" or something, or even without love context, they're changing because of new power, abilities, might, etc. (Not shojo)
      I meant those "uncliché" heroes and heroines. At some point they're changing into something similar, their colours are fading. Like all those isekai guys, they start with different characters (sometimes really well-made and funny) and then dividing into "I'll save the world 'cause I'm stronkk!" or "** the world"
      Same goes for most of the shõjo and rom-coms overall (yeah, I'm a man and I love this kind of things, problem? :-P). We start with some nice characters, for example- laid back, emo-like girl and ultra popular talkative boy. After all this mishy- mushy, flushy- blushy, pinky- ponky things we'll get a popular girl (or at least, totally changed girl "for better") with the boy without any flaws (and vice versa). Most manga are like that, Now, for examples... I can't really tell, like, you know, you're reading and reading and reading, forgetting the tittle because you're not japanese, haha, getting next manga and so on. (that happened with Hakamada, since he changed to a jerk, well he's a side character and I don't like him so idc bout him) anyway, I remember my laugher when I've realised that Ichigo from bleach (and the others) had different character at the beginning, that's for sure, but I don't think it counts, heh
      In any case, saving this unique character of the hero/heroin (Naruse and Yuki) is rather rare, authors endeavour mostly to the similar type personalities, similar behaviours- just because this is what people like nowadays
      I hope I was clear enough this time :'-)

      Delete
    3. Hm...I'm trying to recall characters that I've read that has gone 180 change...it seems that there are only few. ^^;; Laid-back girl becoming popular = cinderella, in the series that I can remember, most keep their personalities/core character...not to the point that they are 'out of character' like Shizuka.

      Not changing can be a bit of a problem actually if the problematic trait is still there = no character development. So, I guess you're talking about change that is too sudden and illogical? Or, perhaps, I haven't read those manga. ^^;;

      Bleach...somewhat if we think of Ichigo being 'cool' in the earlier chapters...and 'lame' in the ending chapters. =P The rest of the characters are somewhat more or less the same. Though, Rukia has turned from 'feisty' to damsel in distress midway and back. Though, I think the plot went down the drain after the arrancar...or reached its peak in SS with Aizen as the 'hidden enemy'.

    1. I wonder how usami knew about Shou's birthday, They didn't explain it in the manga. Perhaps Yuki tell her? maybe Yuki and Usami were discussing something for his birthday that would be perfect, haha. I just hope that it's just about Shou and Yuki, give me some break with hakamada please, hah, since it's Shou's birthday.

      Shou and usami get along well, hahaha you know how he is with people when they're talking to him, like "yeah yeah. Uhm What?" I can live up with that expression of him 😂

      Ah, I really love Yuki and Shou's expressions when they are together/being lovey-dovey, and how they look at each other! Aw! Like the last page in chapter 92😭 the stare in Shou's eyes to her shows sooo much love, aw😭

      And you know when Shou begged and please her, the way she can't decline with her heart squeezing Sooo cutteee! I remember when Shou told Yuki's brother that she's different when she's with him.. 😭😭😭

      I love so much the scene where he squeezed Yuki's face, aw, Look how much he treasures her ❤️❤️😭

    2. Maybe. Or, she got to see his records while she was in the club before? Wait...last year, didn't Yuki mention it to her or something happened then?

  29. But why it's covered everytime they kiss or do any romantic thing! She just cover it everytime! I wanted them to kiss, she never show it, it's always covered, this is touring me! T-T I mean when they kiss they don't show the lips or the kiss, they hide it (by back or something) or cover it with that white cloud. Like Naruse's kiss here, it was by their back faces T-T especially at the beginning, now she show some kiss.
