ヒロイン失格 (Heroine Shikkaku) - Chapter 18
Hatori's thoughts "Ne Rita, i've always thought about you wholeheartedly!"
Kousuke: "Hatori-chan!"
Hatori: "Hiromitsu-kun, give me your prize from the Mr contest, NOW!"
Hatori: "Give it to me quickly and bring me to somewhere else."
Kousuke hugs Hatori and said: "Alright, lets go somewhere."
Hatori's thoughts "I feel so regrettable to said those words. Why did i love that kind of person?"
Kousuke: "Feel better now?
Hatori: "I'm sorry." and she thinks to herself "Now that i think about it, i've said something really outrageous."
Kousuke: "It's alright. What happened? between you and Terasaka-kun?"
Hatori's thoughts "He knew already."
Kousuke: "oh..."
Hatori: "I'm sorry but i'm not taking this relationship lightly and it's not something that's worth crying over about but..."
Kousuke: "This is not interesting at all that another guy made my girlfriend cry."
Hatori: "I'm sorry... i'm sorry."
Kousuke: "But in Hatori's heart, Terasaka-kun is not someone that can be easily removed. There's nothing i can do about that. It's alright as i'm going through this relationship to the end with you" and he slips a ring through Hatori's finger.
Kousuke: "I'm fine, where shall we go?"
Hatori: "Erm... "
Kousuke: "Don't tell me you are going to reward me? What's the matter Hatori? Feeling uncomfortable?"
Hatori: "No! Since the beginning, it's not a reward. I really like Hiromitsu-kun that's why."
Kousuke: "That's great! How about coming to my house tomorrow?"
and she thinks to herself "Yoshi!" (a term Japanese use when they are determined to do something. Here Hatori is determine to XXX with Kousuke) LOL.
Hatori scrubs herself really clean preparing for tomorrow's "war". She wants to know Kousuke even deeper.
Kousuke turns away with dark shadows cast over him.
Hatori asked: "Don't tell me you are laughing at me?"
Kousuke: "No. I'm not. I'm sorry. It's because we didn't hold hand isn't it? I just wanted to see what's going to happen if we didn't hold hands but i didn't expect this to happen." and he stretches out his hand towards Hatori.
At Kousuke's house. Hatori is excited getting to know more of Kousuke's daily life. Hatori takes Kouske's jacket and smells it thinking "This is Hiromitsu-kun's smell."
Hatori sees the dishes Kousuke made for her and thinks that she can't even make such dishes herself and wonders what Kousuke likes about her.
Kousuke: "What do you want to see?"and hes searching through DVDs.
Hatori is getting excited being in a small room with Kousuke and thinks that she needs to think of a topic to talk about quickly.
Hatori: "How about this album?"
Kousuke: "Sure. It's from a long time ago."
It's photos of Kousuke 2 to 3 years ago and most of the photos are taken with girls around him.
Hatori wonders if these are all just normal girlfriends or did anything special happened between anyone of them and Kousuke. She thinks that it's normal for Kousuke always put on a smile and it's not because it's her.
Kousuke: "Hatori, it's about to start. Come over here?"
Kousuke: "You are sitting here?"
Hatori panics thinking that she made a mistake and wants to leave. Kousuke pulls her back and said: "Let's watch it together like this."
Hatori's heat is beating real fast.
Hatori: "How many girlfriends have you had before?" and she wonders why is she asking such a question.
Kousuke: "I've never count before. I will make a count and tell you the next time."
Hatori thinks to hersel "He managed to answer it so beautifully....
Kousuke: "Hatori-chan, do you still remember that i told youthat love relationship is a subjective impression when we first met?"
Hatori: "Yup, that was scary."
Kousuke: "Scary? It's strange. I always thought that i can control love but it seems like i can't. It's my first time. I think i've not been in real love until now.
Hatori's thoughts "Hiromitsu-kun's voice is giving me the nice sensation.Whispering it to my ears making it ticklish.
Hatori: "Hiromitsu-kun..."
Kousuke: "Yes?"
Hatori: "Hiromitsu-kun..."
Kousuke: "Humm?"
Hatori: "I like you." and Kousuke touches Hatori's lips and kisses her.
Kousuke is making his way on Hatori as Hatori convinces herself that she really likes Kousuke.
Seeing tears in Hatori's eyes, Kousuke asked "Why? What happened?"
Hatori: "No. I don't dislike."
Hatori thinks to herself "Why? Please stop."
Kousuke: "I will stop now." and he hugs Hatori close to him and said: "It's alright. Today is not a good day. Don't worry. I will wait."
Hatori's thoughts "Hiromitsu-kun is so straight forward with his feelings.....
On her way home Hatori thinks to herself "The famous P is willing to give up all the girls who idolised him for me. I'm really happy about it. However, am i good enough for him? I must be good. I've decided to be good enough for him. Hiromitsu-kun! I'm going to like you more than today and im going to reciprocate your feelings wholeheartedly!"
Hatori: "What are you doing?"
Rita: "Nope, nothing much."
Hatori: "I see. I'm making a move first."
Rita: "Hatori.. i'm sorry about yesterday."
Hatori: "Do whatever you like. And what happened yesterday?"
Rita: "I've decided to be together with Adachi."
Hatori: "And so?"
Rita: "This is the worse but...
Hatori: "eh? Wait!..."
Rita: "Thank You....
Hatori: "Hey! Wait a minute!...
****
Oh my! What going to happen next?
Come! Share with me your thoughts and guess about how the story is going to develop!

Thank you so much for this summary! I had steeled myself to wait patiently without asking about it! :)
As for the chapter, it seems like just a matter of time before Rita and Hatori get together now. After all, their feelings are mutual. I feel bad for Kousuke, but Hatori obviously still likes Rita; that is why she's unable to fully commit to him. I'm glad she didn't go through with it.
Rita finally apologized for his behavior, so that improved his standing with me slightly. The fact that Rita told Hatori he likes her shows that he may be weakening his resolve to stay with Adachi. He shouldn't stay with someone out of pity.
But, knowing this mangaka, there could still be some surprises in store for us...
OMG --
So confusing.
Everyone is.
I mean, I like Kyosuke, but I just don't trust the cute little slut. D:
He's had too many girls, it seems a little tainted. I don't think he's bad, but I also don't think he deserves a naive virgin like Hatori.
And Rita... could you be more annoying? "I think I like you so we can't see each other anymore," Um hello! If you like her then you don't like your girlfriend -- and if you really liked Hatori then when she was crying for you you would have chosen her instead of Adachi... am I right? Please tell me... am I right? I mean, if the girl you love is crying for you then why would you choose the weak Adachi (even if she is nice and breaking down)? Wouldn't Hatori's breaking heart be worse?
Please, please, please introduce a new male lead -- just a regular guy, not too many girls (aren't they like 16 anyway?). He can have regular grades and just be a common, nice boy. There is nothing wrong with regular guys.
UGH!
Kyosuke has fast hands and a sharp mind while Rita is slow in all areas >3>
Ha ha, Anri! I like Kousuke, too, and you summed him up perfectly - he is a "cute little slut"!! You understand the appeal, but you just know it's a big risk going with a guy like that. And Hatori is so incredibly naive and gullible, so I'm not sure they are a good match. Of course, Rita has his share of issues, as we all know. :P
This manga never fails to confuse me.
^.^^.^^.^
I have waited for this moment XD The moment that Rita comes crawling back to Hatori looking desperate and miserable HAhaha!
Let's see...predictions.
Hatori and Rita go on denial and continue to be with Adachi and Hiromitsu.
Bitter feelings get suppressed. and suppressed, and suppressed.
Later on, something will snap (either Adachi gives Rita up or Hiromitsu will) that will make Rita and Hatori face each other again.
Then Hatori and Rita end up together.
Heroine Shikkaku happy ending! lolol
I think Rita also has Hatori's mindset. While Hatori thinks that she is the only girl for Rita since they're childhood friends and she's the closest to him, Rita probably expected that Hatori will not fall for other guy because he knows she cares for him too much. That's why he threw a tantrum when it seemed that he is really losing her for real. loll
I don't care if it's cliche but I can't get enough of Rita's miserable expression. Bwahahah! Good for him!
Oh, and on the last note, Hiromitsu is so sweet. Perfect ideal picture of the "other" guy. I really wouldn't mind if she chose him, but alas for shoujo.
This still really feels out of character for me. Usually Rita's pretty cold to her then suddenly he "wins" her heart and sympathy just because he's crying. (A usually cheap trick from the mangakas that I've noticed in my years of reading shoujo manga) Then he says that he STILL decided to stay with Adachi even though he's supposedly "realized" his feelings for Hatori. Seriously that boy is messed up.
Nope, I don't like the idea of the two together so soon. Rita still needs to suffer a bit more to get an OK in my book.
i love this manga! everything about it, really! and you guys are totally right about everything. i don't even need to write anything more ;)
love your translations 腐女子 !
Forget about that stupid Rita already!!!
Oh, please Rita, deliver your confession in a speech that’s basically a Greatest Hits album of your most obnoxious character flaws, why don’t you? Let’s see…
Reclaim the power from the victim whose starting to accept that she has agency in the universe that contains more than just you once she’s finally told you as much (“I’m not going to see you any more!” See, I’m the one whose making the choices here! I’m in charge! And I’ll prove it by tracking you down after you told me to get bent and ran away from me!)
Affirm straight up that the status quo is going to remain as is, because god forbid you should actually have to fight for something ever in your life (“I’m sticking with Adachi.” Yes, we know. We very, very much know.)
Put on your martyr hat, squeeze out a few tears and show how the myriad ways you mind, uh… screw people is really all about hurting yourself and the pain that they might feel as the result is only important insofar as it hurts YOU! (“I like you!” Just putting it out there. I’m not, you know, going to actually DO anything about it, but… yeah. I’m back in your head now, right? You’re miserable about it, right? It’s going to slowly and systematically poison this new shiny piece of happiness you’ve just grabbed onto until you regress entirely into the hollow shell of a person who exists only for me and my table scraps. That’s cool, right? And:
Just to reinforce the martyrdom, tack on a legitimate apology that has the added benefit of manipulating the receiver into overlooking the fact that…
Well, you know. You may like her, but every single word you just uttered proves that you DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT HER HAPPINESS!
… Ahem. I’m just saying, if he doesn’t even like her enough to keep it to himself, then he can gtfo. All he did with this little display was extend his misery to another person. It’d be one thing if he’d told her he liked her and was willing to fight for her, or something, if his confession might advance something, but the only purpose it served for him was to make himself look better. (“I only said those cruel things because I like you! But I won’t let myself be with you! I can’t be around you anymore, and nothing’s going to change, but at least you have something new to agonize over. Kthxbai!”)
What the hell is wrong with this kid?
Oh, and regarding Kousuke... I'm more concerned with the thing with his tutor than his history of fooling around with game girls. Seems like the girls he was playing with were having fun too, and I don't think he's been breaking a lot of naive hearts. If hearts have been broken, they were probably broken with eyes open.
Having said that, his intentions going into his thing with Hatori speaks for itself, and we know he's not above manipulations of his own. The difference between him and Rita, and what makes K more palatable to me, is the way they navigate the truth and their intentions. K is honest with himself, and doesn't bother to conceal the less favorable parts of his personality. He shows his teeth every time he smiles, if you get what I mean.
Plus, he was incredibly sympathetic in this chapter, especially compared to Rita's antics. He put H's comfort and happiness above his own, for starters. He doesn't thrust his impotent emotions and selfish BS onto her (unlike R). He actually listens to her. And he respects her choices, answers all her questions honestly, addresses her concerns head-on, just basically lets her take the lead and set the boundaries. The main thing, and what was especially striking to me in this chapter, is that he actually SEES her in ways her childhood friend doesn't or won't. She didn't even have to verbalize her thoughts/emotions for him to notice and answer them.
And, I'll say this. If he really likes Hatori (and we've been shown that he does), he's doing everything right. This is exactly the way a High Risk guy would need to behave to ease the fears of the girl whose heart he wants to win.
I may not trust him completely, but I'm definitely getting there. ;)
what the heck . just when the plot's going better without Rita , he came back with tears . and Hatori starts to become confused . wtf . and then there'll be conflict between Hatori and Rita , making Hatori hurt because of Adachi . And so and so . Kousuke is left out ? Wtf . Man . Kinda disappointed in this chapter . Why . Kousuke , I'm not really sure right now , by some things in this chapter , does Kousuke really wholeheartedly likes Hatori ? Or is this really just a game ? Maybe one day , Rita and Hatori would be together but with uneasiness in Hatori's part , and Kousuke'll say that he's just playing with her , and so he'll find another girl . Or maybe he's just hiding it . That's the standard plot . Hope it's not gonna be like that . This is the first time I wanted a not-main-character-male getting together with the main girl . omg i just simply hate Rita . YOU CONFESS WHILE SAYING YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY RELATION WITH HER AGAIN ?! OMG RITA . WHERE'S YOUR BRAIN . GAHHH . lol Kousuke's SOOOOO WAYYYY OVEEERRR MUCHHHH SUPERR DUPERR BETTERRR THAN RITA ! just saying . :p
thanks for the summary :)
I think Rita needs to die...Thats it, thats all i want for him at this point in the story. Why would the mangaka piss us all off by making her end up with him? coz we all know its probably heading there...*SIGH. Kousuke may have been a play boy and all and i sure dont trust him yet but i agree with SoFree that hes doing all the right things which is more than what i can say for Rita..seriously!does he only exist for the readers to HATE?? And here i thought girls were the masters at that passive-agressive bullshit he keeps pulling on Hatori. Gosh! now im all pissed off at an imaginary guy. i HATE YOU RITA!
Omg, I really don't know what the mangaka will do from now on, I mean, we all know that Rita is the first male lead so Hatori is porbably going to end up with him in the end. BUT I think most of the reader are rooting for kousuke NOW (even tough he is still a flirt in someway)! Will she make Kousuke do something horrible so that we will hate him and accept Rita X Hatori? Let's hope this is going to be the very first manga that the first male and female lead don't end up together!!
And I'm amazed how Hatori can look horrible with her facial expression HAHAHA
Thank you so much fujioshi!<3
I think I have to agree with practically every negative comment about Rita.
I seriously want to kick his ass right now. He's being a selfish, immature brat and is totally undeserving of Hatori as he is right now.
Heh, everyone always makes such great comments!
Well said, as always, SoFree. I know it was really manipulative and selfish of Rita, but I admit I softened a bit when I saw the tears. I'm a sucker! :(
I guess I interpreted the situation as Rita indirectly letting Hatori know he is open to a relationship with her. If he resolved to just stay with Adachi no matter what, there was no reason for him to "confess" to Hatori like he did. Subconsciously or not, I think he is waiting for an answer from Hatori as to whether she still likes him. True to form, his behavior was passive-aggressive, and he is leaving the burden of the final decision to her. Since Rita is a coward, he is probably leaving himself a way out in case Hatori really does love Kousuke now. But I wonder, if Hatori were to respond positively to his confession, how long would Rita actually stay with Adachi? Based on his expression at the end of the chapter, I'm guessing it wouldn't be very long.
Of course, Rita could just be mad that he's losing power over Hatori, and is confessing just to confuse her and make her feel rotten. But I think he's more of a selfish coward, rather than that type of malicious.
for me i'm very annoyed!! to rita he finally realized that he likes hatori but then he didn't to any action to it.... grrr...
i hope in the next chapter rita will get jealous everytime he see hatori and kousuke dating!!!!!!!
@ Mikimata - no, you're right, of course. Even I don't think that Rita is a manipulator from a malicious place and I have paragraphs of long-winded commentary on his cowardice under my belt, haha, so I think we're mostly on the same page. ie. The kid's a selfish coward.
I just happen to also think he's kind of a dick in the traditional sense too. See, what I was getting at is that it really doesn't matter why he confessed (and fyi, I do think it was sincere), because the fact that he did and, more importantly, the way he did it, is just one more instance of his pathological need to put his own needs and feelings ahead of Hatori's at every single turn.
The punk owed her that apology after last chapter, but he couldn't even bring himself to give it to her without strings. The apology was an afterthought, a framing device for his next big (non)act of cowardly martyrdom - it had nothing to do with her, and everything to do with him. It was just gross and ill-conceived in every way - there was no sweetness, no affection, no respect for her at all that one would expect from somebody making those claims. All I saw was desperation.
He wants Hatori to save him - look at his tears this chapter. The whimpers of a drowning man desperate for a life-line - in this case, Hatori - to come and pull him out of this mess that he flung himself into. And you're right, of course, he wouldn't stay with Adachi if H responded the way he wanted, but you know he wouldn't leave her either, right? You know his ideal scenario is A and H sit down and negotiate him out of the relationship. A handing him over to H with no hard feelings, etc, etc, or H wrestles him away, but whatever happens, he emerges unscathed. Which... you know, how nice for him, but not so much for the girl he likes (and the ones who like him) getting her hands dirty and heart broken before carrying him up to his pedestal, untouched amidst the ruins, where he can be worshiped and coddled ever after.
So, yeah, it's not the weakness and cowardice that's the real problem at the end of the day, it's the way he allows the weakness and cowardice harm the people around him, the fact that he doesn't keep it to himself. He's not just being self-destructive in a way that leads to unwitting collateral damage, either. He actively chooses to hurt others (he outright acknowledged that this chapter when he prefaced his confession with "This is the worst, but..." If you know it's awful, don't say it, fool!) Hatori is his oldest friend - the girl he LIKES, and this is what he does to her, what he wants for her?
Even Mr. Darcy followed through (hell, began!) with a proposal after telling Elizabeth he liked her against his will and character. Come on!
But, don't feel bad for softening - he may redeem himself yet. I just find that for me, Rita's like the male version of all those annoying shoujo girls who have weak hearts, or threaten to kill themselves, or whatever petulant nonsense they throw onto the main dude with the hero complex so he'll stick with her instead of the girl he really likes. You'd feel sorry for them, but they feel sorry enough for themselves they really don't need our help, you know?
YAY SoFree!!! I LOVED your commentary :D
Mr. Darcy is an arrogant asshole -- and the man of my dreams *sigh*
Men can be arrogant, just as long as they remember their place and love the woman they are with for who she is.
If this manga were to be compared to Pride and Prejudice I would have to say that Rita is NOT Mr. Darcy. He's more like Mr. Bingly, listening to others, crying and pining for the love he threw away in the beginning.
Stupid old Mr. Bingly who can't think for himself until the very end (kind of).
Yeah, what Rita needs is BALLS. Hello. I mean, he's a dude -- why are chicks have to tell a dude to grow a pair? Eh?
Anyway, I think that SoFree completely nailed Rita. He's the type of loser boy that wants the girl to break up with him so he doesn't really call her anymore and cancels dates all the time. He's a coward -- a boring coward. And yes, I'm a little annoyed at how he "confessed." However, unlike others who believe he was selfishly confessing and would have been with her had she said something back to him (which she doesn't -- good girl), I believe he is merely trying to run away from her again. Even if she had pleaded with him he still would not break up with Adachi and be the bad guy. He doesn't love Adachi, but she is not like the other sluts he dated in the past -- he will actually feel responsible for her pain and that is something he can't deal with (at the moment). But those feelings will surface (as we've seen in multiple mangas).
I know everyone like Kyosuke, blah blah -- and I do too. BUT I don't trust him. Period. I know some of you sweet girls think that he has changed and he loves Hatori but let me bust a bubble. Those guys only exist in mangas. Playboys like that don't calm down until they get someone pregnant or turn 30 and start losing their youth. I'm sure the author will make Kyosuke either 1) change to only like Hatori and become committed, 2) Do something to make us hate him so the fans will start liking Rita instead (bullcrap in my opinion), 3) not end up with Hatori, but will be forever changed after learning about "real love" (I think a little vomit just trickled up my throat). I think Kyosuke is hot, but my attraction to him is purely physical at this point. I have to see him consistently being good to Hatori, not for Rita's sake but because he genuinely loves her. Not 2 or 3 chapters -- I'm talking a volume or 2 worth. Then I will also fully commit to team Kyosuke (since I am on the "Rita Die" team and there is a spot available for fav lead guy).
What I would like to see most is---------------
A NEW GUY!!!
How many times do I have to say it????
Give me someone I can actually root for -- PLEASE!!
NOOO!! Don't soften when you see those tears coz its crocodile tears! its all a lie IMO because all hes crying about is that HE is hurt not her. he doesn't give two sh*ts about HER feelings at all. If he really cared about her he'd shut his face and SUCK IT UP. i mean really? what kind of confession is that? "hey btw i like you but im still staying with ADACHI not you, ADACHI, and im telling you this because i wanna let you know how sad it makes me even if it makes you MISERABLE. So please lose endless amounts of sleep and be depressed about me all over again and be unable to move on, K? Thanks!".......NO Hatori, i wish she wont take that sh*t from him, id be like you know what? you can shove that confession up your a** and go away! If i were her id slap him again and then spit on his face(ok maybe not spit but still). Words cannot expressive how annoyed i am at this selfish, passive-aggressive manipulative bast**d. I am fully rooting for Kousuke because at least he treats her right and doesn't pull all this passive-aggressive bullsh*t Rita keeps giving her. If that doesn't work out then i rather her be ALONE than date Rita. that's right Rita! i rather see her single than ever go out with a two faced jerk like you><!
Ok Rant over!
argh damn that Rita, he should honestly just break up with Adachi already, what kind of relationship is that if he's just staying with her cause she has nobody else, kinda pathetic... -_-
and are we ever gonna see Sakai? :(
OMG thanks so much for the translations!! :D
maybe i should create a Hating Terasaka Rita club....admin anyone? xD
now i'll just quietly and patiently wait for the next chapter...THANKS fujioshi!!! :D
okay... I feel like no one has addressed this but... Hatori is such a bitch! she's so mean to adachi. and as much as I love this manga, I don't understand WHY Hatori likes rita. Can anyone tell me what he's done so far that is so impressive that she could build her life around him? because all I've gathered is that he's her childhood friend.
and I HATE rita, he's insecure, indecisive, pathetic, melancholic, useless, SELFISH, INSENSITIVE.... so many insulting adjectives I can use to describe rita. he's always putting HIS feelings before Hatori, never once considering how she feels. just because she loves him unconditionally doesn't mean that he can simply abuse it. like I just don't understand what's so likable about rita. he's hurting both adachi & hatori because he can't decide who he wants to be with. it's so pathetic. usually you see this problem with the heroine in shoujo... but nao you see this problem with the male lead. asluidghasd
I agree, Hatori does need a NORMAL guy to enter her life.
and honestly I am PRAYING, WISHING, HOPING that she'd end up with kousuke. because from the way that I see it nao, he & nakajima seems to be the only one who are actually considering how Hatori may feel. all rita can do is hurt Hatori... disappear... and reappear after she thinks she's gotten everything solved.
sigh- big rant. I just hate rita so much... like I don't think I could ever forgive that type of guy. he's such an immature child that still has so much to learn.
Rita is a JERK, wow !! When I think of Ren from Strobe Edge, Rita is the complete opposite, worst shoujo character ever ! But a long one-sided love is hard, Hatori will surely waver... you want that kind of love to be answered one day. But it was shocking to see the cold indifferent guy so flustered. Rita made mistakes, but I'll still cheer for him, rough childhood = confused feelings. Yeah no, Rita was terribly horrible... but just like the playboy (Kousuke) changed, Rita can grow up too (I hope !)
OMG Rita is such a jerk!!!!! I hope he and that adashi chick become unhappy and rot away...scratch that I hope they break up!!!! Ughhh Rita makes me sooooo mad like seriously?!! 5 years later and u finally realize your feelings and yet u can't man up and confront it????! He needs to break up with adashi and make up for all the things he's done to hatori!!! kousukes kinda too playboy but meh he's better than stupid Rita!!
Rita really pisses me off with his attitude. Instead of simply breaking all connection with Hatori, he has to go and (knowingly) make it harder to severe Hatori's ties to him by saying that he LIKES her, hence, why he's STAYING with Adachi. What the freaking hell? Indecisive, cowardly and manipulative fits Rita perfectly. He knows that he broke Hatori's heart more than one time, and he has no right to give her hope, but he DID with that last moment in this chapter. And, judging by Hatori's reaction, it's obvious that she's taken the bait.
Instead of having a clean cut in their relationship, there's the lingering "hope" that Hatori has always been looking for, and because she still have feelings for Rita, she'll take that bait and run with it. I knew that Kousuke would never get the girl, I mean, the guy who supports the girl while she's heartbroken never gets the girl in 99% of all mangas, but I dislike the fact that the mangaka made the main guy so pathetically weak and annoying compared to Kousuke after 3+ volumes. Kousuke might not be ideal in that he wants to have sex with Hatori as reward and that he's a playboy, but he's supported Hatori and he at least is honest enough that he's gradually changing himself so that he could be with Hatori, instead of running away from Hatori like Rita. Hatori was annoying at the beginning, but she's gradually changing herself, but I have yet to see any redeeming qualities from Rita. He wants to be with Hatori, but he doesn't FIGHT for her and runs away with his tail between his legs. He doesn't do anything to justify Hatori's feelings for him, and how hard she fought to have a chance with him.
Overall, I'm rooting for Kousuke, but I doubt he'll get anyone in the end...unless he ends up with Nakajima. XD She's the only redeeming factor in this whole manga now that I think about it. She and Kousuke should pair up and make me a happy person and the 3 idiots (Rita, Hatori and Adaichi) can fight in their miserable love affair with each other.
What the hell, Rita?
Adachi is still a pain in the ass even if she's not present.
Kousuke's pretty awesome, and props for not completely devouring her on the bed even if they started stripping.
Hatori is uh, kind of indecisive still with Rita and Kousuke. I don't blame her but ah, it's kind of killing the happy relationship with Kousuke.
First off! Thank you for the summary dear. I'll be patiently waiting for the next one.
With THAT! said. Onto my freaggen RANT!
WTF!? is going on! Never once in my 7 years of reading manga have I ever felt this pissed, confused, sad, pissed, happy, and yet pissed.
I don't even know where to start!
I feel so sorry for Hatori!! She is so confused and I don't blame her. But she is also so stupid I want to smack her right upside her stupid fantasy head!
#1.
Rita is so much of a brainless ass, he did NOT consider her feelings, did NOT take her seriously and now he's crying to her like a little B*tch! don't get me wrong. I still like Rita no matter how much of a enormous careless jackass he was/is being! But seriously dear, grow some freaken balls and leave the girl YOU DO NOT FU*KEN LOVE DAMMIT!!!! Have some decency and consider Hatori's freaken feelings for once in YOUR FU*KEN LIFE! What the freak are you expecting/want from her!
2nd.
Kosuke, he was so quick to sweep Hatori off her feet that he does not even realized she might have stuck on to him ONLY for comfort! or as a BACK UP! Why is it that I don't trust this boy completely yet too?! I mean he's made it clear several times that he likes her right?
Maybe it's because he is an infamous playboy and because his intentions about getting close to Hatori were all SO VERY WRONG. He's always so quick with sex and though he is patient that does not stop him from trying =__=;
But seriously am I the only one who somewhat pity's Kosuke and WANT him with Hatori, ONLY IF HE REALLY LOVES HER!?.
This boys was played around with when he was 13 years old! that explains why he's such a playboy now! but seriously, he's the only one who's considering her feelings, paying attention, being patient, KNOWS WHEN SHE IS TROUBLED AND WHAT SHE IS TROUBLED ABOUT!, and fighting for her! if he DOES NOT get her in the end and Rita DOES! I will seriously pull out all my freaken hair!! I may not trust him completely but for now he is better for her the Rita will ever be!!!
Rita you better start shaping up boy! and if you DON'T!....
STAY OUT OF MY/EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS DISPLEASED WITH YOU/AND, ESPECIALLY, HATORI'S FU*KEN WAY!!
hatori cries too much ffs
Alright, here's MY opinion buster:
I admit, Rita is being very "UGH" right now, but think about it. I kinda feel that he's just too inexperienced, or too unable to just GET IT. I'm judging this completely fairly, without any biasment on any character. Same for Kousuke, here:
Rita--He's just not able to understand himself or love. He cannot do things right, and he's just triggering all the cliche stuffs without meaning to. He definitely deserves some rebuke, but he also deserves a little appreciation or--no, not "sympathy"--but kinda like a push. He needs that "push" if he ever wants to get somewhere.
Kousuke--You guys can say all you want with doubts and everything on it, but it's clear to me either way. He is not going to be a player. When he fooled around before this, he wasn't ever that serious. He just thought too lowly of love. He realized it when he met Hatori. WHy can't you guys see this? He's trying to be a decent dude. Don't doubt him, enspecially when he'll probably at some point end up broken-hearted. I don't mean this way in pity, but really people. It's all about perspective.
Adachi--Okay, I'll let a little of my feelings seep in on this one. This girl pisses me off. I hate her personality and what she says and everything. Even more so when she bounced back, but in that sort of undescribable "whiny" way when Kousuke's words were trying to give her a wake up slap in the face. SHUT UP you insecure, stupid, annoying, and simply irritating brat. You like Rita? Great. Great, just great. Then, little bitch, stop sitting down.
Hatori--Ah, nice character. I don't get why some of you are going all "snobby girl, huh" or whatever. She's trying to be strong without breaking down into a damned "Adachi". I agree she should cry a little less to make her tears more of an impact, though. But seriously, people are too iniconsiderate of her. Like, everyone doesn't get it. It's like this scenario--say this "bad" or "misfortune" stuff all has to go somewhere and God or somebody has to place it on carefully selected people. Now imagine people's souls as vases, and misfortune makes it that much closer to breaking the vase. Hatori has done a good deal to strengthen her vases' foundation, whereas Adachi or all the others are bribing God with their poor, weak selves instead of sucking up those tears. So God obliviously decides Hatori can handle it and puts more misfortune on her instead. WEll wake up, everybody. No matter how strong the vase is, if you keep treating it like some old tough pot, it's gonna break someday. You're wearing it down.
I like Hatori's friend, I just wish she'd say more slap in the face stuff.
But really, I think it's more arrogant of you all than the characters as of now to say these strong things about them without considering them seriously.
Although I really do think Adachi is becoming one of those stickler-type people. Not to be hypocritical! I just put myself in her situation and thought "Wow. She sucks. Because there are totally so many other possible things she could do. Instead of being a shithead." Like in Rita, I could see why he'd be so confused. Kousuke, I can see why he was a semi-player, but not in a slutty way. As Hatori, I can feel her. I won't be a hypocrite either and say I understand them, cuz honestly I don't, but I at least try to reach out the most similar parts to them. I think I'm like Hatori in a few ways, though. But I can't relate to the romantic stuff because I do not like anyone. Anyways, just start doing what I'm doing if you want to get them right. Oh crud, that sounded really arrogant right now.
