There are plenty of reason why one could forget about smth like this, it's really not that far-fetched. Many neurodivergent ppl have memory problems in some form or other. I personally remember Jack shit about my childhood/adolescence, without hitting my head or smth like that. It just happens, not much to it.
Gay gods bless Yui for trying her best to be a wingman for those two. And we made some progress I think? Akari went from "I'll kill her" to "I'll make her remember" so that's something, right?
And I'm not sure why people are so bothered by the memory thing. It's just a gimmick to create this silly situation. We've all seen worse in stories that treat themselves more seriously. And this story clearly knows what it wants to be.
Also wouldn't this technically be considered Tsundere?
by this point they are stablishing a new kind of 'dere. We have here the KOIDERE, 濃いデレ - the one who alternates betwen lovey-dovey (the "dere", [デレ] as you all know) and dense as compressed neutron matter (the "koi", [濃い])
It's weird reading the comments as someone who can relate to Akari
She is upset that her old BFF seemingly doesn't remember her and is too stubborn to take the L and be the one to clarify it
Why would that be taking the L? Because it would forever eliminate the possibility for the other person to be the one who realize it. And thus no closure to it.
Eh, I don’t know. Stubbornly digging in your heels and acting like a jerk to someone you care about simply because you want them to remember who you are on their own (all while doing nothing to help them in that processes), and potentially torpedoing the relationship you hope to get back in the process, still seems like a pretty big L to me. Like, even if it does work, that W isn’t going to erase the Ls that were taken along the way.
Some people are like that, opinionated stubborn and slightly self destructive and a scoop of idealism
Also Akari is clearly hurt by it AND sucks at expressing herself
When I saw the raws for Chapter 10 I thought “holy shit is that progress?” and holy shit it really is progress, kinda.
Also I am still confused about Hina’s moving situation. Was she the one who moved? How did the idiot couple just lost any contact? Anyways Akari being shaken by the possibility of getting cucked and acting a bit more honest was a nice change.
It’s starting to get annoying how much of an bitch face she makes when around her crush like WTF? she can smile at an normal classmate! Wtf is this weird ass plot line with her Bitch resting face?????
