read at your own risk cause of A LOT of spoilers but i feel like I have to rant about this manga. so ok, so far we know all about terada-san liking tomoya and all (her first love?) alright cool.
so obviously terada-san likes tomo and has slept w him already, kissed him and maybe more whatever, and atp you’d think that tomo maybe has a interest in her cause of how he described it when they both had their “first time” together.
terada-san asks out tomoya and he somewhat agrees to go out - cool. so now, tomoya is kinda giving her the cold shoulder and all and we all confused at first little do we know that tomoya had a deal w hase (hase proposed this deal btw) so tomoya can properly spend time w terada (he wants to kiss her and continue sleeping w her) and hase doesn’t like it because he has feelings for terada.
tomoya agrees to this deal and there it is set. whilst terada and tomoya are going out the deal is in action and therefore terada felt as if tomoya was ignoring her and all and therefore broke up w him without even allowing tomoya to explain himself!
terada and hase now start going out after a drunken night at the bar where they went w the flow and made out (this was during the night before terada broke up w tomoya) and terada admits that she is “attracted” to hase - cool.
this is the part that pissed me off the most - so terada ends it w tomoya and doesn’t allow him to explain himself as he has a dull character and assumes that it will just be a dumb excuse, this is where hase now tells tomoya that he is now going out w terada-san and tomoya is left gobsmacked.
tomoya mentions how going out w terada-san WAS NOT part of the deal, and hase brushes it off as if he achieved something and he was proud of himself.
this part is really annoying because we are told why tomoya acted how he acted and it was all due to hase’s silly deal which terada-san was unaware of making it really really unfair on tomoyas behalf. the fact that hase basically took advantage of a lousy deal he made w tomoya to get terada-san pissed really whet his way and this is where i see hase as a true evil mastermind.
the author really made this manga go so slow despite being 40+ chapters out. im FINALLY starting to see development from tomoya our mc.
last thing that pisses me off is that terada-san sounds like she’s desperate for a relationship and i view her as a sex addict. she expects too much but then again i don’t blame her despite tomoya having an personality which is difficult to get along with. and AKARI, ugh she was a decent character but she’s tooooo decent, as in she’s ok w terada san jumping from boy to boy in their share house despite allegedly liking tomoya. she should move out for the better.
thank you if you read all that but i was so mad because it felt like 0 progress was being made in this manga.
