I'm so excited for them to break up (¯▿¯)

I'm really hoping the next chapter starts with Kase tackling the ladder or something lol

Drama where Kase has gotten upset at Yamada: Yamada is working to do a thing for me and living her own life and I dont like it >:(

Drama where Yamada got upset at Kase, but got over it way easier: Kase bet our relationship on a match.

I think Kase has been in the wrong maybe a few too many times in this series. She's gotta grow up.

Wasn't sure how to phrase it, but yes. "I'm sorry I couldn't attend your event because of work obligations" is a normal, adult kind of thing that happens.

Even if Yamada should find a better work-life balance, Kase's being childish here by throwing a tantrum.

I could at least justify in some way the drama from earlier chapters. I didn't enjoy it or agree with it, but I could find some reason behind it. This, though, I just hate. The girl was called to work and missed a race, and she gets blamed for it. Well, I'm sorry. It's not like missing your kids' play or something. If this story wanted to make a point, it should have chosen a more suitable reason than "work" for her to miss that race.

The worst part is that we'll get an artificial conclusion to this, in which one of them gets hurt and the other one can't really stay mad, cause that would be just mean. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Kase was still bitchy towards Yamada even if she broke both her legs. That's how low my opinion of that character is.

It may be a cultural thing but work obligation (that was not an obligation at all since she was not supposed to work that day) is a very non valid excuse if you had weeks to prepare beforehand at least here where I live.
I'm guessing it's that American mindset talking? Idk.

The silent treatment tho, that is lame af.

That might be true but then how is "I bet our future on a race with my junior" taken? Comparatively, I don't think they're in the same ballpark. Kase has been annoying for a while now, mainly since the author thinks these things are comparable for some reason. I agree, after all this immature stuff, silent treatment is just crazy. Throughout this series she's acted like a child. Still feels like high school, if even that.

"Kase, I broke my legs!"

replies with Smiley Emoji

(That emoji felt so unnecessary passive aggressive lmao)

They’re just gonna gloss over Kase’s selfish behavior again because she’ll feel guilty over Yamada’s injury and Yamada will forgive her because she’s Yamada. Another net zero arc where they learn nothing.

WHY? WHY WON'T YOU FUCKING COMMUNICATE?

I've always been a fan of Yamada to Kase-san, but reading this series is becoming a frustrating affair.

Kase constantly acts like an entitled asshole while Yamada is fine always being a punching bag. And nobody ever learns anything.

Please don't make me drop this.

Thanks to Mikawacchi, Yamada is finally realizing where she went wrong.

Quite an ominous ending there, though...

My guess is that Kase is upset, but the kind of upset where she thinks she might say something she'd regret if she got into it before cooling down. So she's waiting til she gets backs to talk about it.

Alternatively, she's just head-emptying her way through this and doesn't even realize that Yamada is getting anxious over her single emoji replies.

Or she knows Yamada is anxious because the point is to be petty. I guess it's petty regardless.

American? Everyone involved is Japanese.

And from my understanding of Japanese culture (both work culture, and general deference to anyone older than you), it is very plausible that Yamada would give in here.

a) job

b) elderly boss and co-workers

Expecting a barely adult junior employee to hold her ground against Elder Boss and Extremely Senpai doesn't seem realistic, especially when Yamada is basically a pushover to begin with.

aw man yamada died... this is so sad

Yamada to... another world-san!

Huh, I was thinking of trying to get back into this series after dropping it early on. I really liked the original, but several of the early arcs were just "Yamada tries having some agency in her life and doing things without Kase, Kase gets mad in a weird, possessive way, Yamada does the thing anyway because she wants to be her own person, but Kase was actually right to be controlling and swoops into an event Yamada never told her the location of and saves her".

I guess it hasn't changed all that much, glad I went into the comments first

Hopefully Yamada san doesn't get hurt with the ladder.

Darn, I actually didn't mind where the drama was coming from. I have enjoyed these last few chapters pretty well, but to see the characters get shitted on is starting to make me think I'm not good at noticing bad characteristics

I don’t know either. It’s something where I don’t hate the series and Kase as much as the majority of commenters here do, and I can’t really tell you why. I think I’m generally at least decent at spotting bad elements, but here I’m not having as much of a problem as most people are lol

I know people hate on this series but I just love it. Maybe I'm an idiot but this is and always will be my absolute favourite series. I know it has flaws and all but I still love it. (Maybe it is a huge mess) It's just so fluffing adorable.

To heck with the haters. Yes, the story has far too many misunderstandings over trivial matters, but seeing Kaze and Yamada in love has always been a treat.

Checked back in on this manga after a very long time. The writing doesn't seem to have evolved much at all, judging by the chapter contents and the recurring themes on this last page of comments.

However, that cover image (for Chapter 46) is super cute, so at least there's that.

I will admit to being a bit confused as to why her gardening friend appears to just be Rose Hip from Girls und Panzer, however.

Why does something wholesome get so much hate? I literally don't understand? Why can't people just bask in the positivity and energy of the series?

This is one of my top fave series.

Though with the rings now brought up, I feel like we're only a few chapters away from the end... I'm sad at the thought of it. Been following Yamada and Kase for YEARS.

I dropped the sequel quite quickly because there wasn't any hint that the writing would change, but is it really that wholesome? The art certainly is but I feel like the characters aren't very good at dealing with their problems in a healthy way, and they kind of keep repeating the same patterns of poor communication. Then, when it comes to the point of actually looking at the problem together, one of them feels guilty and just puts on a cutesy smiley face, and we're supposed to believe it's "solved", until another problem shows up and the whole thing starts over.

It's similar to how you can forgive a teenager for getting infatuated with people and getting themselves into the same dysfunctional relationships over and over, but as they start growing up, it stops looking cutesy and genuinely starts becoming worrying, because it shows that they cannot develop deep bonds built on a solid basis.
(I suspect that the author isn't super interested in drama either, based on the tone of the prequel "Kase-san", which is why they are not so good at writing it, but they're looking for reasons to milk the series because that's what the industry incentivizes, but eh that's my personal cynical take based on little info)

Edit: Just to be clear I'm not trying to "convince" you that I'm "right", I just wanted to share what I see, but obviously just read what you enjoy, who cares what others think.

I think this is a series that's going to continue getting hate until it ends for one reason or another. So I think it's best to simply ignore the hate and continue enjoying it regardless of what anyone else thinks. That's what I'm going to do anyways.
