AniTomo - My Brother's Friend

A pretentious one arent ya?

Not it all, I'm just calling out the absurd overreaction of stupid people. Love triangles are a major part of the shoujo genre and if people haven't figured that out yet, them they should be called out. 

=/ Can we put spoiler tags over quotes? Kind of defeats the purpose of using spoiler tags if we keep replying to each other and not hiding spoilers...

Anyways, super cute chapter as usual. =) Love how the animals are attracted to him! Not something you read everyday.

Don't worry, author, the pigeon is absolutely the correct size.

He does, but in the end, it doesn't work and they come out stronger from it. Soooooo yeah. If you are this annoyed over a plot device to help the main couple, then why exactly do you read shoujos? I find it funny when people get butthurt about love triangles and they are reading a shoujo. Yeah, there are a few fluffy ones, but most use love triangles as one of its major plot devices to move the story along.

damn, Persona 5 protagonist is the love rival?

Love rival, knew it.

Well, not the first one I see, probably not the last one either. I'll just wait to see how things will play. 

And I want moar scene with Super Sadist and Socialy akward clumzy dog girl. 

Whenever I find a light-hearted Shoujo that I actually enjoy reading it devolves into undecisive/dense heroine and shitty love triangle. It's basically a rule of law at this point 

Spoiler

I've read ahead and this is what pisses me off the most about this guy. It starts low key then he blatantly does that shit knowing full well what he's doing. He purposely get in between them and low key flirts with Nanase. Nishino sees through his shit quick but can't really be overly aggressive about it because it makes him look bad and clingy because this guy gives off an innocence like vibe to everyone. Nanase, bless her heart but goddamn does her aloofness shines bright in some of these moments. Her pureness and overall fluffiness to everyone has this guy thinking he has a shot and he just keeps pushing the envelop with her knowing full well she won't take anything he does the wrong way.

 

Although we still get some cute moments between Nishino and Nanase, this guy mere presence makes it bittersweet because you know he's just waiting for the next chance to interfere with them. I wanted to drop this until he was out this picture and I go to catch up and this fuck is still going strong in the manga. uggh

Worse yet, he still lingers around for 25+ more chapters with little indication of him going away or being shipped with someone else. Pretty much confirming that Nanase is just another run of the mill self-insert shoujo heroine, albeit moderately veiled.

Yeah, no he doesn't. This volume (3) and a bit of the beginning of volume 4 is where he's prominent. If you'd seen the raws, you would know that. You are just making stupid ass assumptions to be butthurt about like you do in EVERY comment section. 

Spoiler

He is annoying as all fuck but i disagree on the FMC judgement. Everything he does is so vague, and while MC knows the intent, Nanase doesn't really. I'm sure if he made an actual move shed reject him straight up, but all he does is lowkey cockblock like the little shit he is. The whole thing with MCs dad was annoying too. Most other shoujos its annoying when the triangle interest makes moves and fmc doesnt reject them properly, but i dont think this situation is all that comparable.

I've seen the raws, but seeing the translation now, I'm not a fan of glasses guy.

Thank you for the new chapter! Quickly becoming a favorite shoujo of mine~

Upper left corner.

Crap, it seems like they really are brother and sister. Nanase also finds pleasantness in shivering puppy-like people.

Even the boyfriend knows to honor the prior engagement.

Honoring prior engagements is fine, but this is one time where her friend railroaded her into doing what she wanted.

Can't wait for third wheel-kun and his stupid never-ending love triangle. The tears of people who thought this would be a pure vanilla manga will be delicious.

It's fluffy at times, but considering the inner conflict and lack of confidence especially coming from her, there has always been drama so I don't see how anyone can see this manga as pure fluff.

The new guy's so good looking, I wanted to be one of the animals attacking him.

 

If this does turn out to be a love triangle mess, oh well, guess I just gonna search for beetles.

This manga is really cute. I love the awkwardness of the main couple. I really like the art as well. It's a good shoujo manga so far. I'm just hoping for no artificial unnecessary drama.
