1 more page. Editor-san i hate you. Naoto you better save the chapter
:nagapray:
"I will not throw away everything, and i will win against you" is this chapters conclusion
NGL THIS WAS SOUR AS FUCK.
first mid/sour chapter after 40 chapters of back to back 10/10 peak
chaos of a chapter, for first read i didnt liked it at all
but after hours of marinating i have cracked it
live reaction graph:
[Ch 130 - End]
[Ch 131:: 06,19]
5 ch remaining for enough ch for S3. Hopefully the exam will conclude until then
this chapter kinda feels off,i think this is only the half of the story + it was cliffhanger. We kinda need a new the judge it properly but this was mid.
Fumble from both sides, none of it is redeemed properly by ch end. Naoto barely only
this was a sour as fuck chapter but i agree. The only conclusion we got was "I won't give up everything, i will win against you" and that don't really fixed the fumble and its a mid chapter conclusion
NTR esque lines killed my soul, there were a lot of it during this chapter. Made me so angry and added to my already sour feelings
its building up with fast pace to the ultimate final battle. Naga Losing but Naoto still confesses.
Thats has a high possibility
Naga will lose, but Naoto still confesses to her, kisses her and make her realise that their love isnt dependent on the "exam"
its just dependent on love
When Orihara said that Judo is basically all she has, and everything she worked for — there is no way Nagatoro will win.
Naga realised that ORihara"s stake is 'being olympist' her stack is 'getting a bf' so the push in them isnt the same
Naga even was a bit sad when she heard that Orihara will give her everything, and this exam means her everything.
and if Naga wins it ruins her childhood dreams, and everything Orihara worked for
so imo she will lose and cry, but Naoto comforts her with confession/kiss
she have to lose basically
i know the manga wanna build up adrenalin and high stackes for the fight but this face that Hayase made when she realised she would ruin orihara's dream if she won -- kinda gave away that she will likely loose
Yes the chapter was a little on the sour side, but there cant always be peak chapters back to back. Like we had for 40+ chapters
Of course Orihara isn't slacking around and so is Machida. I hope this also helps them to realize they dont have to be on top of the top to just achieve their goals.
Machdi has definitely realized there is something going on between Nagatoro and Senpai, that's one reason why she spoke up at the end. But in the end they all are inexperienced (probably) teenagers.
While Senpai got confident now with Nagatoro, that doesn't mean he isn't introvert/shy anymore. He is still fast to befriend the others of the Cram-School. THAT doesn't mean he wouldn't be reserved anymore.
He is just honest and a little naive, so he's not walking around "Hey thats my Girlfriend" or "I love her" or whatever.
Talking about their Goals again. This ist still the worst part in my opinion. Everything is build around this "I must win to do X" situation
I disliked it already in Chapter 124 and i will die on this hill. I think its just some unnecessary hurdle they put up for themselves and as deeper this shit goes, as worse this feels to get out of in the end, no matter of the result.
its a good motivation but will get bad imo
we got to see why Oriharas relentless about being a Judo champion, we got to see Naoto build an actual friendship and even get his first nickname, we got to see Everyone’s perspective on Hayase and Naoto’s relationship and we got to see an actual saddened Nagatoro.
his was a buildup chapter showing Nagatoro's insecurities:
Oihara is determined to be the very best in her field and Nagatoro feels kinda bad that she isn't as passionate as her
Then we have the same situation with Senpai and his rival
But senpai just says "yeah, no I am not only focussing on this. But I'll still beat you"
he is not as insecure anymore, he is actually more determined as never before
Huuuugh. That was long sorry. Gotta write it out of myself.
Finished, Vol8 of Gimai finally.
Took so long. This is one hell of a deep, artsy, subtle, sol romance series. Its subtle but isn't frustrating.
The writing style is so nice and deep but sometimes convoluted.
This volume had barely any progress, only a bit of character growth.
This volume mainly was focused on Saki's character growth which was incredible.
But the fucking academic poetry of Ghost can be challenging for most.
let me explain.
(thread) 🧵
🧵Honestly i do find the 2 steps forward 1 step back approach challenging with every volume and had hopes at the beginning of the volume that they were progressing when|| she came to say good night...
🧵in our fast world, people look at xmas as a hustle a new day of putting up the happy family facadé for the relatives. its a hustle that most of the people wanna get over asap.
🧵the spirit of xmas isn't in how expensive shampoo you bought for uncle, or how well you dressed, or if you cleaned the house for a week to show off to relatives.
the spirit of Christmas is in our hearts, the connections and love we share together as a family
normal girls turns into a yandere because of the bullying she receives for being in love with her teacher (crushing on him) she is basically hurting her own heart for pursuing an impossible relationship.
