"How dare you look at pictures of me that I voluntarily posed for specifically to be put in this publicly available magazine."
This did feel really dumb, she models for the magazine knowing anyone could/would buy it should the desire to do so, equally its not in the realm of impossibility that her classmates will catch wind of this and will get hold of it. Equally, she is apparently a actor or... well she is something which lead to modelling, either way she is known publicly, of course your peers will know of your side job. I would say it was trashy of her to react so hastily against a potential fan... even if it is just a classmate wanting to see you posing. Dude paid for that magazine, hope you gonna refund him or something!!!
I can make an argument for confiscating the magazine, because it's weird to have your classmates ogling your picture with you standing right there. So she could have been acting out of embarrassment, indicating that her cool exterior is hiding a roiling sea of emotional vulnerability beneath it. None of which we get a hint of, of course, but I could make that argument.
I do equally agree to this, whilst i think she acted pretty rash, i could see how weird it would be to know your classmates are ogling your pictures, i mean surely you know they are behind closed doors but certainly can see how awkward that would be in person. Though i still consider her behaviour a bit extreme, especially when as you say, we aren't given the hint that she finds this embarrassing, we are just making educated guesses.
That girl's Yotsuba,
@Madoka. Our Yotsuba. And adorable childhood friend is Itsuki.
Wait... WHAT!!! So to clarify, i like the Itsuki equal but dislike the Yotsuba? The hell, is this backwards world or something!? I know the title implies (and lies) that it would let a childhood friend win but bloody hell, this is some serious stuff!
Like, does the MC actually have a kind of small friendship with Kachi? Or was it just that one instance about her novel? Is Obnoxious Best Friend really dating seven girls? Was the MC a child actor? Was that hot MILF in the photo with him his mom and can the anime be about her, instead?
This... is a very good list of points!!!
My take was, his friendship with Bridge girl is based on nothing but what we have seen, i have no evidence but he didn't sound confident in them "occasional" talks, it sounded to me like they spoke that once, maybe a few times if he is lucky after that, also he is probably counting "class talk" as speaking, like if she asks him to clean the board or sweep the floor should they be on cleaning duty... basically he is counting everyday greetings or passive words as chats. So my guess (its just that, a guess) is there is only as much friendship there as there is for any kid who passively speaks to another but doesn't actively interact at all.
Best friend... Obnoxious is certainly the word to describe him, considering how girls seem put off by him, i have to assume he is full of crap and the dude can't tell a girl cursing his very existence from actual love apart.
Was MC a actor... i think THIS is true (maybe), the picture and "ace up my sleeve" had no bearings at all but I will assume its true because the guy on the roof. Not that i understand
how this is a ace, he isn't a actor now so who cares and is he implying the girl is so easy she dates only actors... even if you
was a actor but aren't now?
Milf... I'm okay with this, lets do it!!!
But yeah your point stands, i can't tell half this stuff apart of what is/isn't true or happening, heck 90% of the stuff i wrote is just guessing.
He says that they chat, sometimes, but it sounds like he's lying
He has to be lying, it sounds to me like a one sided fantasy, i still think he is mistaking
office talk (or school talk - the passive interaction of peers within a environment) as friendship and getting close, maybe she learned what his name is after being in his class for half a year and he considers this "being close"? Maybe he lies to childhood friend and annoying friend to make it sound like there is progress? Maybe the show should answer something without me having to keep making all my replies feel like guesses. I get its only episode one but the idea of everyone saying it started mid-series feels about right, what's the plan, to backtrack and play the next 3 episodes as
flashbacks to answer everything?
the show does absolutely nothing to set up the revenge plotline
*Nods enthusiastically*
Though i don't think there is a reason, I'm still lost at how this is a revenge thing, revenge is something you seek when wronged, which we all know of course... but please explain how he has been betrayed or wronged by her? He can't even argue he was hurt by her, he was hurt by his feelings for her maybe but that's not her problem. It's like me having a celebrity crush and seeking revenge because she has a boyfriend, i don't need to have met her but i clearly have reason for revenge according to this show!!!
The only part which
did try to explain this (it didn't) is Clover girl, she implied she other girl kept stringing him along or kept him as a reserve... i guess maybe this implies they do talk? Who knows. Regardless, that sounds to me like a subject view, assuming they talk, she might have seen him as a friend (or you know... classmate?) whilst he sees it as boyfriend role incoming, so his friends think he is reserve now, its just all so dumb.
There is 0% reason to want revenge... including on the blonde actor guy (was he blonde? I forgot, generic actor guy A), he hates him for what? Asking a girl out, quite sure that's what people do, yeah sucks for MC that he didn't get there first but to want revenge? The hell is wrong with him. Either move on (you got a pretty decent friend who is mentally undressing you!!!... and i leave that open for you to decide which friend) or you know, tell her how you feel regardless, accept rejection (or find out they aren't dating?) and be done? Either way, stop blaming everyone else for your problems... especially when you was just about to get some action and ran away like a little kid!!!
...yeah, so will I. For at least another episode, I suppose.
I'm more letdown because i really wanted this to be good, I said a few times in other threads, I usually back the childhood friend path, I'm equally used to them never winning, a series promising such in its title... to say i am disappointed in everything is a understatement, A guess the actual childhood friend is the only character i like thus far... which yeah i guess i will take that as a point.
The series gave me the vibe she will be the one who is seen in a negative light because she is using this chance to get into the MC, basically she admitted (she didn't hide it) their deal benefits her as she gets to date MC, if only for pretend whilst he "gets revenge" (for Bridge girl... doing something), I can already see it, she is bad because she doesn't encourage useless MC to stalk bridge girl, blonde dude admits
their relationship is a lie to stop girls stalking him or something (Mutual agreement to get horny teens off one another's backs i guess) and thus bridge-chan and MC hookup because fuck this plot, then truck-kun kills everyone because i hate them all... except clover girl...
Ripping up her notes was pretty f***ing crazy, though
This scene!!! Oh man, i forgot this happened! What the actual... I.. i honestly was lost (and still am) for words, it was the dumbest thing ever!!! Man i hate this girl.
What does MC even see in her (we might know if we didn't start on episode 5), she seems to have problems.
Add the sudden reveal that she's dating Actor-senpai and that bit where she's crying in the library...
I wish he didn't see this, can't he just stop and leave her!
I'm just saying--if I'm writing this, Kachi is in love with Meiko.
I like where this is going
It's almost definitely not that,
You shot me down before i could even get my hopes up.
Today we'll be starting with tell and aw shit, we just ran out of time to show. See you next week!"
If this isn't a perfect description of the show in a few words, hahaha
This was a thing I watched.
This is equally a good summary!
I guess that was a mistake
Welcome to the jungle... a place we all regret being in!
God I hate MC's like this guy
*Nods*. I think this small clip sums up everything about the guy, i want someone to make him suffer, i would describe painful details but i don't want to ruin anyones day having to imagine the MC...
