Yugami wants to become an astronaut so he can befriend aliens for the human race but for now he delivers pizza as a part time job and this is how he runs into Chihiro again. I died laughing. He’s also learning Russian and the one phrase he chose to use to demonstrate that was Ты много значишь для меня which apparently translates to “you mean a lot to me” or “you’re important to me.”

FOR REAL. But Chihiro’s absolutely clueless.

Yugami also kept inviting Chihiro to see Heiraku with him because no one else would believe that Heiraku created a new story based on him and even when Chihiro’s finally heard the story he keeps inviting her to go with him because Heiraku’s stories are always evolving. ALWAYS. YOU TWO ARE STUCK TOGETHER FOR LIFE BECAUSE OF YUGAMI.

He even pays for the tickets every time and food too, apparently (EDIT: okay maybe not food but he still wouldn’t let her treat him). ISN’T THIS JUST–

Kimura: Isn’t that just a date?

It’s a fucking date. And they’ve been on multiple ones. What’s this springtime of youth doing in my loner manga. Just kidding.

When Yugami invites Chihiro to go see Heiraku again (and seemingly forever) even after she’s finally heard the story, Chihiro asks, “‘Always?’ So we’re always going to go? Because we’re friends?”

Yugami says, “We’re…not friends, but let’s go, together.”

Chihiro’s final narration: “There’s always some kind of meaning to whatever Yugami-kun does. …So, I wonder what possible meaning this could have?”

Are they both just really dense or something?

Thanks Sakura-sensei for seven years of this wonderful manga. I’ll miss it dearly.

Blushing Yugami in Chihiro's memories might be the cutest Yugami yet! I almost feel like if they actually dated he'd be kind of tsudere.

I’d say he’s already pretty tsundere ^^;; it’s just such a subtle, human portrayal of the trope that we don’t immediately recognize it!

Never admitting she’s more than his seat neighbor, not wanting to comment about her when his family pries, always mixing his compliments and words of thanks with insults to downplay the fact that he’s praising her…

Sounds pretty tsundere to me, at least in the classic sense of the word - someone who starts off being cold and standoffish before they gradually soften and start treating that special person sweetly instead. And he sure is sweet with her in his own way~

yugami trying to peek into the art & craft clubroom to see if chihiro's there-IM JUST-MY HEARTTT just say you miss her and go! i'm loving the j-twitter reaction about this chapter everyone's on chihiro's side & all they want is for yugami to take responsibility and make her happy

It was soooo cuuuuute!!

Something really important to note is the side he’s peeking in from. If he was just passing by he’d be looking in from the left windows, but instead he looks in from the right before turning to leave in the same direction. He wasn’t just passing by and looked in when it was convenient. He went out of his way to walk to the club room window and then rounded back to his original destination. He diverged from his usual path to seek Chihiro out, which is definitely unusual behavior for him!

Seeing the Twitter fans rally in Chihiro’s defense was really so sweet! But! What I really loved about this chapter is that… Yugami didn’t really do anything wrong? At least, he’s done nothing different from what he’s always done. It’s Chihiro who suddenly wanted him to behave differently and got upset when he failed to meet those desires, which is exactly what she criticized her classmates for a few chapters back.

But of course, caring about someone only to feel they don’t view you in the same light is painful, so Chihiro is quite down for a majority of the chapter. Yugami is really very precious to her - he’s helped her more than anyone else throughout their time together, and all her current connections are arguably thanks to him. In her mind, that makes Yugami her ‘friend’.

Thinking back on everything she’s received from him, tangible or not, Chihiro comes to terms with the idea that asking for a reciprocation of friendship is greedy of her when he’s already given so many other things. But just because Yuagmi doesn’t view her a ‘friend’, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t view her as ‘precious’. Yugami wouldn’t help Chihiro out so much if he didn’t think something of her, after all…

At the Yugami household, Yuuko-chan is worrying over Chihiro going to a difficult college, wondering to her brother if she’s be able to get in.

Yugami’s response shows us that he thinks very highly of Chihiro - he’s confident she’ll be able to persevere as he’s seen her do many times now. His compliment to her being someone who keeps trying to push forward is reminiscent of Chihiro’s letter to him in which she talks of him doing the very same thing.

But Yugami’s little sister is surprised, thinking he was looking down on Chihiro this whole time. Yugami is genuinely confused by this. He’s fond of her, and in his mind he was doing everything necessary to express this, which is why he was taken aback by Chihiro’s tearful outburst. It was totally unexpected - why would he forget about her? It’s not until Yuuko flat out tells him the error of his ways that he realizes his feelings weren’t being conveyed after all.

And so, he sends her a New Year’s card to prove that she’s someone he wants to stay connected to. It’s subtle enough to pass off as a formality if anyone asks, because we all know Yugami is actually a bit of a shy guy when it comes to these things - but luckily Chihiro knows him well enough to understand this time around.

AAAAAAH LOOK AT THAT HAPPY FACE~~~ so you see, Yugami’s doing his best in his own way!! I wonder if we’ll get to see what kind of reply she writes?

Anyways, I’m sorry I took so long to reply!!! The next chapter is already almost here ^^;;;

is it just me?

i've been observing a tendency surrounding women —mostly between 20 and 26— where we can't find anything close to love (from men). women are not dating, nor living a normal life, developing a femcel-like point of view. and im saying this because i want to be loved just like anyone else, but are we the problem? or is there something wrong with boys? i mean, ofc there's something wrong with boys; but every year pass by and every time is harder and harder to find someone willing to put the effort to make you feel loved and understood. was it like this 50 years ago? 100 years ago? i am very much aware that our mothers and grandmothers suffered in the world they lived in, generally with sexist husbands and mandatory tradwife lifestyle. but i am also sure that there was some exceptions, way too many more than today.

and we tend to romanticize the past, probably there's something to do with our generation. nor millennials or gen z, the ones in the middle. the girls who grew up with enough technology but not so much. the ones that went crazy over boybands and fanfiction and hung up posters in our walls. the ones that went crazy in 2018-2020 with deranged feminism just to realise, later on, nobody really cared and it maybe was a little over the top. the ones that filled our beds with stuffed animals repeatedly every time we woke up just to throw them on the floor at night so we could sleep. the girls who spent their teenage years on tumblr writing code (before men took that away from us) and making playlists of marina lana and the 1975 so everyone on the internet could see how cool we wanted to look like. probably the ones that suffered some kind of bullying in highschool or some health problem related to how we didn't fit in or how bad we looked at ourselves in the mirror (yk what i mean). we weren't the cool kids in real life or it was just me?

now i'm observing how hard it is to adapt that teenager to adult years. and maybe it's me but i don't feel like an adult. i am a tiny ball of anxiety. i suffer too much stress. i am trying to finish my degree but i don't know if im worthy of anything because i dont have money, and i don't have time to work and study at the same time because i spend too many time thinking about it and feeling a fraud and a failure.

i don't know how to talk to boys either —nor girls, in that way—. and until some days ago i was quite sure i was willing and capable of spending my whole life alone. i've given up to anything because i felt it imposible to be loved. but lately my mind goes up and down with that scene of jo monologue in little women by gretta gerwig. and it also goes with the hot priest monologue of fleabag. and today i rewatched the classic he's just not that into you. are we condemned to be the tedious rule? am i?

i've seen all of my girlfriends suffering the same mysery. and i've seen the extremes. women giving up the love they deserve —because they accepted the fate of being the rule— by dating a jerk just because they are afraid of loneliness. and i've also seen women giving up everything else just because they are not willing to give up love. those are us. hopeless romantics who watched way too many romantic comedies and somehow still expect to find someone willing to die for us just like dicaprio in romeo + juliet. —or at least a patrick verona—.

what i've never seen was actual love. all the couples i met... they don't look happy. they don't look in love. they don't look like they enjoy their own company even. they look exactly like a picture of instagram. they exist just to make us feel miserable even when it's obvious they are not gonna last. i've seen couples of what? 7 years? gone. broken up. they grew tired of each other and of course they never looked like they had anything close to sparkles in their eyes. chemistry? none. and maybe it is my anxiety speaking but i don't want that. i refuse to have that. i want all or nothing. i want always and forever. i want everyone to look at us and think "if i don't have that i'll kms". i want family —even tho im not sure i want to get pregnant, what am i a childbride?—. i don't want to change anything to fit in with the standards of a boy. i want marriage even tho im not sure i want to be legally married. i want the posibility, the future. i want the emotions surpassing myself. i want to not know me anymore and then knowing me again. i want to doubt myself. i want my heart beating so fast i could kill someone for them. i want to believe god exists. i want to laugh of happiness without they making a joke. i want my sundays to not be deppresing because i can hang out with the love of my life and have fun. i want to be the "and yet" of someone willingly enough to fall for me every single day even if i am kinda insane all the time. i want someone who cares. someone who fantasizes with spending the rest of their lives with me and is going to put the effort to get to know every single thing about me and stay because he's blown away. and aparently that's setting the bar "too high" because we are the rule and not the exception.

people always assume that by being a romantic i expect flowers every day and cheesy comments about how beautiful i look; and that would actually make me want to puke because i can do that myself. i am confortable with myself, i like myself, i love myself, i have the ego. i am not really asking for that much i just want someone to love me with every single thing that's probably wrong with me. what i want is someone curious and smart. someone who pays enough attention or wants to. i want the chemistry off the roof.

and contrary to anyone's beliefs the bar is too low about everything else. every single girl probably wants the same thing. is it that hard for men to understand that women want to feel loved?

lately —worldwide— it's all a competition of genres as if humanity doesn't need us to interact to survive. it's a loop that opened up in 2013? with the tumblr-4chan gate and right now got translated to the real world because pick-mes are back and being a man is cool. and suddenly that's how nature works!! because apparently women are boring and just a hole. maybe they all need to go all alexander the great. but it's getting boring. and we as women deserve love as much as respect.
