I get that the modern audience has to relate to her, but the artist gave her a very modern hairstyle which imo is very distracting and takes away from the fact that this is set in early 20th century japan. If the artist had given her a style that young girls at the time wore, it would've been a little more realistic. But then again this series is about a witch after all lol.

She's using hair styles of the "West", ambiguously, so that could be anywhere in Europe. IDK about the hairstyles of the time but there are a lot of different cultures in a large area of nebulous definition.

The one issue I do have is her name being Yomai, which sounds distinctly NOT European in any way that I know, I would love to know other's opinions on that.

The whole sequence from pages 15-20 while being amazing I have no idea what's being conveyed. Each scene by itself is concise, but all of it together I don't have the vision to see.

She recognized Faye REALLY FAST??!!!!??? Ya wouldn’t have been at least a little confused????

White haired girl with red horns, protecting you instead of attacking, while older and looking different it's not that hard to make conclusions. Annie's even not sure, hence the ? .

The bloop. THE BLOOP! Why must we be teased! Is the mermaid real or not?!

Damn hijiki san, Remu -chan is one chunky hunk of ginger . looks like he/she doesn't miss out on breakfast lunch or dinner..(⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠)

I think the cat is a munchkin and the breed has short legs which gives the illusion of being fat. Looks like a healthy, not-obese cat to me.

ALERT! STALKER DETECTED! ALERT!

Not only is the hairstyle now in play, we got a "give me some time to tell you" when a hidden clock is ticking. IDK if we're even going to get a confession pre-mortem, people.

Just for the spite, I hope he's reached his adult height early so he can't ever be taller than Hinohara.

Yesssss. LORE.

I had a feeling earlier and it's not held up by any real evidence yet, but my genre savviness is pointing to Utaho's previous life as the scapegoat villain instead of actually one, or at the least someone who did "evil" things in self defense. Conventions point to Melua being the Hero, emphasis on the big H, but again I'm thinking this is a twist.

Something about the facial expression of "villain" and the amount of soldiers in power armor during the memory flash doesn't sit nicely to me

How do I save this to my reading lists T-T

Go to the page for the series as a whole (in this specific case https://dynasty-scans.com/series/the_guy_she_was_interested_in_wasnt_a_guy_at_all) then click the little menu icon next to your username in the top right and select all the relevant options you want.

Huh, artist done did a goof up. Last 3 pages Haruno has a choker necklace she didn't have at any other point in the chapter.

UNLESS THIS IS A CLUE.

I think the main character is trans. she looks 100% a boy when he/she (or they are) is a kid. This also means most likely, they have good family support, letting them live as a boy...

I think you may have a few things confused. Hiroshi, the cute one that the blond is falling for, has been always a boy. The twist is that the narrator, the real MC, is the tall handsome dark haired one and the true crossdresser. In the photo from their childhoods, Kai (Umi) is the one on the right, the long haired, dress wearing girl and Hiroshi is the shaved-bald crying boy.

Unless this is some weird form of sarcasm.

okay is this like a documented thing that happens? Because I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere before other than here (I spent a while looking as well), but it is literally exactly what happened to me at some point. Surely there must be something on the internet about this?

It's not specifically a trans thing, but high levels of stress causes hives and fevers.

I wonder if the mermaid mother subplot is going to be finished or if it was all just an analogy for Segawa's loneliness.

Very cute.

I have questions, though. If humans can turn into beastmen, and "you're born one or the other", does this mean they can mate and have viable offspring? If yes, then why was it an "inter-SPECIES" war if, supposing all prior is true, they aren't different species? Unless, also supposing mating is viable, this is just a situation of magical hijinks in classical fantasy.

Also, why is it that it's always "pure humans" vs literally any and every other animal under the sun grouped as one "tribe" of beast-people?

Does the author assist anyone? The art is familiar but Dynasty has nothing else from them.

(Ch. 52) I"m curious what 'snu snu' is translated from. I know what the EN term is referring to, but how was it written in JP?

Same, I came here to ask that exact question.

Maybe it's just a cultural thing, but if Michiru doesn't want to be thought of as cute, why doesn't she do things to make herself not seem cute? Hair length, for one. Mannerisms can be learned/changed. From what we've been told she doesn't go along with it for any specific reason or maybe I missed it, so why not just out and say as such? I guess she just needs to learn to assert herself more, and this leader role in dancing is just the first step.

I haven't seen in the credit page the chibi mini scene in that foggy field for a couple of chapters and while I do miss those, I think it would make me cry way more if they were present.

I forget if it was in the forum or in a credits page, but the person who drew the chibis left the project so they haven't been and won't be there any more.

A little triggered because she said "the sun and a star" but okay.

I like vampire chan

LMAO with the bots

To be fair, while yes the Sun is a star, there's a VAST difference in the kind of light we perceive from them. And Utaho doesn't shine so much as sparkle, like a star in the darkness, fitting with her thematics.

Are we supposed to know these two? They just come out of nowhere and state the MC's as their targets as if we should know why?

So, the concept is, if I understand correctly, that the world reruns each day until some unknown thing determines the day came out how they wanted it to, and Ayaka who has perfect memory has broken the system somehow by remembering the days that never existed. Either Michiru is a time travelling witch doing this, perhaps to get some outcome with Ayaka or some unknown goal, or she's privy to more information and somehow also exists outside the system.

... I don't get the nachos bit.

Hasn't all this shit been going over like a one day period or something?

Also, wouldn't they have like closed the school if there was a really major storm on approach?

Shh, don't ruin the drama magic.

Plus, there have another magic drama where somehow Satsuki didn't get electrocute too after go and made a contact with the child right after she got lightning.

Do you not understand how lightning works? It's not an active current like a power line, there's no residual charge. Ions build up in the ground, then reach towards the sky and release all at once. There's no risk of Satsuki getting shocked.

A number of people here are really expecting this to be some ghost or hallucination, but really with the type of story this seems to be it's probably more that she's just in Haruki's imagination, something she's given herself to help her through the stages of grief. And I can imagine that's going to be what this is about, and it will end with her accepting Sakura's death.

"This here is for you to die again (Haruki coming to terms with Sakura's death and accepting it) and for me to live once again (Haruki moving on with the memory of Sakura in her heart. or something. Wording it is hard)."

I imagine it as though the grief has her in a rut. She's pacing the same circle, over and over. This Sakura, the Sakura that "came back to life" through the journal, is her pulling herself out of that rut, only in the end to understand that Sakura would not have wanted her to simply waste away after her death in a perpetual state of grievance and despair. I can already see the "Thank you, Sakura. I'll be fine from now on" at the end. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to enjoy the ride in the meantime.

It's going to be bittersweet, but I bet it'll be fulfilling.

Want to bring this comment back up since after reading chapter 2 this is exactly how I feel. Haru's doing all this, but imagining that Sakura is here with her, to give herself something to do besides waste away. She's remembering Sakura's warmth, but at the same time running the mental exercises of "how would a dead person feel coming back after time gone" like with the streaming service.

The store trip is an indulgence in pretend, the ghost that can't interact with anything, despite "cooking" for Haru, she doesn't need a toothbrush, because Haru knows she isn't there, looping back to Haru doing this all herself. It's part of the fantasy.
