ヒロイン失格 (Heroine Shikkaku) - Chapter 17
Hatori is the cover!
Hatori: "Morning..." and she thinks to herself "I can't look at him."
Hatori: "Oh yah! Tomorrow is the cultural festival, shall we roam around together?"
A girl came towards Kousuke and said: "Kou-chan, can i borrow your body tomorrow? I'm bringing along a very cute girl from M high school so let's sneak out for some fun."
Kousuke: "Eh... that sounds kind of fun."
Hatori's thoughts "They are only going out for some fun and not doing something weird."
Kousuke: "However, i'm sorry. I can only play with the girl i like."
The girl: "What a boring guy. I will ask others. Bye bye."
Kousuke: "That is because i have to roam around with Hatori tomorrow."
Kousuke's thought "Oh no... Hatori-chan is so cute."
Rita see Hatori and Kousuke. Nakajima pinches his nose.
Rita: "What?"
Nakajima: "Do you still remember that you are one of the contestant for the Mr contest? Meet at the back stage at 2pm. Do not be late. There's not helping even if you made those face. I'm going to drag you here no matter what cause it's going to be interesting."
Rita: "What puzzling things?"
Nakajima: "Various things. For the time being, don't do anything unnecessary."
Rita: "I'm not going to do anything. It's none of my business."
Nakajima: "That is good."
Rita: "You are fine with that?"
Nakajima: "But she's not being played."
Rita: "You've heard, haven't you? He's with Hatori because of me."
Nakajima: "That might be his reason initially but now, he's treating Hatori well. What you are doing now is making Hiromitsu-kun the villain and being concern about Hatori, please stop this 'concern' for Hatori. Stop all these and know your limits. You should only think about Adachi's stuff and that will be enough."
Hatori: "Eh! What is this? Why have my shift increase so much?"
Classmate: "That is because Mayumi is not here today and you are the class representative."
Hatori: "Anyone willing to replace me?"
Hatori's thought "This isn't true is it? I've made so much effort in sorting out my free time with Hiromitsu-kun..."
Kousuke: "It's alright. This can't be help."
Hatori: "Are there any other time where you are free? And you look so cool!"
Kousuke: "Um... I've Mr contest and basketball..."
Kousuke: "No problem." and the toss a ring out."
Hatori: "What is that?"
Kousuke: "This is what i'm going to perform later during the contest and i'm going to show it to you first. Now you see it here..."
Hatori: "Um."
Kousuke: "Now put your hand here." and he count to three and asked Hatori to open her hand. Hatori sees the ring in her hand.
Kousuke: "It will not be interesting if i tell you."
Hatori: "You are so going to win this contest and this ring is so cute!"
Kousuke: "It's for you."
Hatori: "Eh?"
Kousuke: "That my plan initially. After i've performed the magic."
Hatori: "I'm happy. This is the first time i receive a ring from someone i like. Thank You!"
Kousuke: "What are you going to give me in return?" and he thinks to himself "Oh my, she is cute!"
Hatori: "Sure! I can do anything."
Kousuke: "Then, Hatori will be mine if i win the contest."
Kousuke: "Wait a minute. That is not true."
Hartori: "Eh?"
Kousuke: "I'm joking. I'm cold aren't i?"
Hatori: "I'm perfectly fine!"
Kousuke: "Really? If you say that, i'm going to do my best!"
Hatori: "Please do your best!" and thinks to herself "So this is how it is."
Hatori's thought "What have i said?"
Classmate: "We've taken alot of orders so Hatori and Terasak please hurry up and fry."
Hatori's thought "I'm doing shift together with Rita... the atmosphere is weird."
Two woman saw Rita and said: "This brother is so handsome. Handsome. You look like someone... and your complexion is so smooth. Help us take a photo." and they proceed to pose beside Rita.
Hatori: "One two three.. cheeze."
Hatori: "I'm not laughing."
Rita: "I told you not to laugh! It was so frightening, i thought they were going to eat me up."
Hatori: "It's tiring to be popular." and thinks to herself "We are able to speak normally. Seems like a long time ago."
Hatori: "Erm... i have a boyfriend now."
Rita: "I know. It's him right?"
Hatori: "Eh? How do you know? He's really cool, Hiromitsu-kun."
Rita: "That is good."
Hatori: "And so i'm not going to cause you trouble anymore....
Rita: "Oh."
Hatori's thought "As expected, i'm happy being able to speak with Rita this way. To Rita, this might be something not stressful and worth being happy about."
Rita: "This is a joke right?" Hatori rented a costume from a cosplay shop for Rita's Mr contest.
Hatori: "I forgot to being the costume i made.. that's why. You look good in it."
Kousuke: "Wah... you've become really cute. It's alright, you still look like a prince. What are you going to perform?"
Rita: "I'm not performing. I'm not interested in such matters."
Kousuke: "Thank you for letting me win."
Soon, it's Kousuke's turn to perform.
Kousuke: "Hatori will be happy if i win this contest. It's alright for me to receive the most important thing from Hatori right?"
Rita recalls Nakajima's words. 'You are concern about Hatori and because of that, you want to do something because you are concern.' Whatever, it has nothing to do with me." and he sees the blissful smile on Hatori's face.
Rita is next and he sees some musical instruments lying on the backstage floor.
Hatori wonders what Rita is going to perform while Nakajima is just looking forward to see Rita in his absurd costume.
Hatori: "Don't he look cool? Even though the one before looks cool as well."
Hatori: "Even though he looks like that, he started learning violin since he was 3 yrs old and he's very good at it. Why does he suddenly wants to perform violin?"
Kousuke: "Oh no, i shouldn't have challenged him."
Hatori's thought "This is bad. Looking at Rita working hard, i can't simply just cheer for Hiromitsu kun alone. This much be the so called motherly love."
Adachi: "Congrats. As usual, you are great! I'm sure you will win."
Rita: "Thank You. I need to change." and thinks to himself "What am i doing?"
Hatori pushes the door and asked: "Rita! Are you there? You are here! You were great! The girls behind me were all shouting for you!"
Rita: "What is you purpose for saying all these?"
Hatori: "It's nothing..."
Rita: "Isn't it great if he had won? So that you can go to a hotel asap?"
Rita: "You shouldn't say love so simply."
Hatori: "Huh?"
Rita: "By saying that, it means you will be going to the next level. What do you mean by from now onwards we will just be childhood friend? Don't say this one minute and something else the next minute....
Hatori: "Huh?"
Rita: "You've said that before right?"
Hatori: "I see. I see. Ne... Rita....
Rita: "Hato..."
Hatori: "That's enough. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. I've wasted 5 yrs of my time liking you."
Rita begins to see images of Hatori calling out to him in his head and tears tricked down his cheeks.

A great chapter isn't it? I had to translate this first this time! I will do DD next, soon i hope.
The story is finally moving towards what we have all hoped for!!! Now i can't wait to see how the mangaka is going to develop the story. I wonder if she's going to make Rita ditch Adachi and go after Hatori instead. However, i hope he goes after Hatori but Hatori will still be with Kousuke in the end. hahah.

To me this seems like a familiar set up. Rita getting all weird when Kousuke expressed interest in Hatori and Hatori reciprocated. I remember seeing this some chapters back. Please Mangaka, write Rita off. Don't go through another cycle. Hatori better not waver...
"I will do DD next, soon i hope"
I hope too, can't wait! xD Have you already read the chapter? is it interesting? :)
At first, when you said "The story is finally moving towards what we have all hoped for!!!" i was like OH MY GOD finally something between kurosaki and teru!! But you talked about heroine shikkaku right? XD
Anyway, thanks for your summary ♥
I looooooove this chapter! really really, and i totally agree with you, when you say you want hatori to end up with kousuke :)
and props for your tranlations, i love that i can read heroine shikaku !
This is so good!! I agree with everyone about Rita..goodness..
I hope Rita goes after Hatori, but she ditches him and sticks with Kousuke til the end.
Now he'll know how she felt =)
thank you so much for updating! Ive been waiting for this since the last chapter.
Im kind of glad the shoes on the other foot for rita but I still think its too early for him, he needs to suffer with adachi for a while.
let Hatori been with Kousuke for a while, I do think shes fooling herself, shes alwats rita this, rita that; her first thoughts should be kousuke.
Thank you, thank you! It is a great chapter, and it is sweet to see Rita finally being jealous. The story is finally turning more positive for Hatori. However, it feels a bit too fast; I mean, all this time, Rita has shown absolutely zero interest in Hatori. In fact, I always wondered if he even truly liked her as a friend, because he treated her so indifferently. Maybe he started to "awaken" to his feelings when Adachi was away all that time. Or maybe it's dawning on him that he is going to lose her at this rate. Bah, he really is a selfish idiot.
Omg thank you so much for this update! I've been waiting for this!
omg, Rita! How can you say something like that?! I'm loving kousuke more and more now!
I can't wait for the next chapter!
And actually, I prefer Rita to Kousuke, even though everyone here says the contrary xD
Anyways, thanks for your summary, as always! :)
It's about time to see Rita suffering too, that's going to be a sight *_* I highly doubt Hatori would end up with Kousuke but I hope I would be proved wrong~<3
Anyway, thanks for translating the chapter ^^
I hope that Hatori ends up with Kousuke rather then Rita. It seems that Kousuke is falling for her and not being that player he use to be. In the end if Hatori were to leave him wouldnt he go back to being a play boy who doesnt care for such a thing called love? I think Hatori is trying to fool herself with Hatori but in the end if that is a lie then o hope for it to become the truth!
Thanks for yout summary :D
This chapter made me cry during the conversation with Hatori and Rita.
what a great chapter~ thank u fujioshi. karma is a bitch and rita is getting a taste of his own medicine. as much as i would love to see hatori end up with kousuke happily ever after, it just isn't going to happen. the mangaka hasn't made his character a focal point in the series. unfortunately, he is just a filler in the the same way miyake is a filler in tonari no atashi. hatori has been through a lot and i would love to see her fully liberate herself from rita once and for all. i really hope he suffers because she is such a great girl with a lively, bubbly persona fit to be our heroine. why hasn't he noticed this great girl that has been standing by his side all along?? what a dimwit.
Thank you so much for the summaries I only started reading this manga yesterday. Also, I agree with those that stated earlier that when Rita chases after her she leaves him for kousuke. We all think a like. XD
t..thankyou so much for the summary XDD
MAN I LOVE THIS CHAPTER . CRY ! CRY ON , RITA YA BA@!*#D LOL .
i really wanted hatori to end up with Kousuke . the hell with Rita HAHA . I just simply hate him -_-"
I.LOVE.KOUSUKE'S.HAIR. OMGG I'M GONNA DIEEEEE LOL
THANKS FUJIOSHI :D
i'll be waiting for next month, CHECKING YOUR BLOG EVERY TIME I'M ONLINE HAHA .
OH MY GOD! Thank you for translating, i thought I would die not being able to know what will happen next..
I really don't like indecisive guys. Even though Kousuke might end up being a player again which I hope not but atleast he treats Hatori right. And finally someone sees how cute she can be.
I really hope the mangaka will give Hatori happiness with Kousuke.
Go die off with the hypocrite Adachi, you stupid Rita BAKA!!
what is f*cking wrong with rita.. pisses me off!! urghh...
Oh Man, I liked this chapter but I can't help feeling that the mangaka will change the next chapter and none of Rita's feelings will show...
I still don't like Rita, but I'm feeling Kousuke isn't genuine again...
I was all about Kousuke, but he's kinda fast and he's still trying to challenge Rita which shows that being with Hatori is a perk to hurt Rita.
The part where Adachi was smiling made me want to vomit >.>
This manga is so funny and cute xD! So, thank you for the translation =)
Can someone tell me if there's a new bokura ga ita chapter for this month?
N.B. Sorry for my bad english >.<
@Claudia: Yup there is a new chapter for BGI but there's not much developments in this chapter.
Thank you ^^
yatta! i love it when hatori said it rita that phrased!
i hope hatori will really forget rita!
i want rita to regret it when he just ignore the of hatori!
and how about Dengeki Daisy? is it anything new in the chapter 50? I want they have a first kiss!!! akira alredy kissed Teru! TT__TT It's not fair!!!!!!!
ugh rita...you're just so wishy-washy...
thank you for the scans ;) (I used to live in Japan but now i live in LA so I can't read any japanese manga!) I really appreciate all your work. by the way, have you dropped Himitsu no Ai-chan? That manga and Heroine Shikkaku are my favs ;) No need to rush to translate, I just wanted to know. 唯一日本語のマンガが読めるのはココなので、本当に感謝しています。
A great BIG CHEER to this chapter! Rita finally gets his ass whooped with KARMA! You know i feel really sorry for Hatori and Adachi to be in love with such a wishy washy boy. Ive known that type before and they piss me off. Adachi is actually a really sweet girl if it wasnt for this boyfriend rivalry between her and Hatori. Rita and go and off himself cause he doesnt realize how much of a douchebag he is being so indecisive. hes hurting both girls and deserves neither.My ideal ending is that he ends up lonely or atleast suffers a lot before the manga ends. thanks for translating the scans! you have no idea how much i wanted to find out what happens ^^.
Rita makes me shake my head at his idiocy whilst simultaneously making me rage for the same reason.
I get it, I get that he's done everything he has because ultimately he's scared of losing Hatori. Only the idiot doesn't realize that he can lose her even if he's not dating her. Well he's finding that out right now.
But what did he really expect? He had to realize he can only toy with her emotions for so long before she finally breaks. He has no right to say she's being flippant about her promises, when he himself is the one who threw her away.
I kind of feel bad for Adachi. He's basically dating her because she's safe. If Adachi broke up with him tomorrow, he wouldn't be too sad about it. Lets face it, the only reason he's still with her is because he feels guilty. But if Hatori were to dump him if they were dating he'd be heartbroken.
But then again, I also hate that weak aspect of Adachi, that means she'll keep Rita bound to her by guilt. I detest that kind of person. My mother was that kind of person, and it never ends well for them and everyone around them.
I will never understand how you can be content in being with someone who doesn't love you, just because your lonely. How can it make you in any way feel good about yourself, when you know the person next to you is with you, not because they want to, but because you basically guilted them into being with you.
I hate that kind of selfishness. In a way Hatori is right, Adachi doesn't have to be alone, Rita doesn't have to be the only one in her life. She can make friends, she's the one who hasn't taken the initiative to do so.
Also Adachi says with Rita by her side she's been able to change. How? She changed her glasses and that is pretty much it. She is really no different than she is before, if anything she's worse, because now she's totally dependent on Rita.
The bravest thing she did was confessing and now she has him she's content with that and doesn't feel the need to grow any further.
Have to say I did enjoy the karmic bitch slap bestowed upon Rita this chapter. Hopefully its enough to wake the idiot up finally.
Gah sorry for the long comment and thank you so much for translating this manga!
I have never cried out of anger over a fictional story. This is just.. annoyingly interesting. I'm glad Hatori's slowly moving on, I'm worried about Hiro's feelings, and I'm loving Nakajima.. even though Hatori complains to her everytime they meet/talk, she still understands her. /sob~~~ I didn't read the rest of the chapter since Hatori's starting to sound mentally unhealthy.. anyway, thank you so much for sharing these! Sorry for getting emotional! lol thanks again~
Great comment, Sakura! I hadn't thought about Rita being scared to lose Hatori, and that being the reason he refused to date her. I always thought he just took her for granted, so barely even noticed her presence. But that makes sense; his mother abandoned him after all, and for him, the girls he dates are just like clothes he can change every day with no trouble. So, could it be, he didn't want to make Hatori his girlfriend because he thought she would hate him if she got too close? That could be why he kept her in the "friend zone."
I agree with everything you said about Adachi. She seemed to be a strong character in the beginning, but she really is a weakling at heart. I forget what chapter it was, but she definitely said at one point that she'd step aside if Rita had feelings for Hatori. That was a big fat lie, as it turned out. Adachi is not stupid, so she knows that Rita has feelings for Hatori now. But she doesn't care about the reason why Rita is with her, as long as he stays by her side. That shows how little self-esteem she has, and also that her "love" for Rita is not the unselfish kind she pretended it was. She is a hypocrite, just like Kousuke told her she was. But, ironically, she probably still deserves to have a less horrible boyfriend than Rita.
However, to my surprise, I'm starting to find myself open to a Rita/hatori pairing again. Believe me, I never thought that would happen, since I pretty much despise Rita. But now that Rita seems to be realizing his feelings at last, I'm softening just a bit. At least, I no longer hate the idea. Even though I like Kousuke, as another poster said, he still doesn't seem entirely trustworthy. I didn't like how he kept taunting Rita, and suggesting sex as a "reward" to Hatori. I'm very curious to see the next chapter!!
Thanks Mikimata.
I totally agree, as much as I hate her weak, hypocritical attitude right now, even Adachi deserves better. But that won't happen until she takes the initiative to go find herself a better guy, instead of hanging on to Rita.
As for Kousuke, time will tell if he's genuinely changing and actually feeling something for Hatori, or if he's playing her.
Omg I love you :'D ...thank you so much for letting me know how this awesome story is going on *_*
OMG thankyou sooo much for providing the scans and translations. I absolutely love you for this, this is so amazing!!! > ~ < <3 どもありがとう！
