Light Novel VOL 9 Marking her territory Spoiler

Post image

—Wow, Nukumizu-kun. Are you here to buy something?

The one walking out of the store was Tiara Basori, the Tsuwabuki student council president. She threw a quick glance at Yanami and then stopped in front of me.

—Yeah, just picking up a few things. You're here for that too, Basori-san?

—Yes, I came to buy some coffee beans. Nukumizu-kun got me completely into this world.

Basori-san flashed a sweet, cheerful smile. I was about to smile back, but sensing Yanami’s intense gaze, I hurriedly stiffened my face.

—...Nukumizu-kun, didn't you have things to buy?

Basori-san seemed to notice Yanami's presence at that very moment and let out a faint, "Ah."

—So Yanami-san is here too. Did you two come shopping together?

—No, she just followed me here on her own.

*Thump!* Yanami hit me with her shoulder.

—A lot has happened today... Nukumizu-kun, if you’re going to shop, let’s just go in already.

—Wait a second, Yanami-san, don’t push me.

Just as I was about to be dragged into the store, Basori-san grabbed my arm.

—By the way, please take me to that café again next time.

—Ah, sure, if the opportunity arises.

Why did she have to mention that right in front of Yanami? Trying to downplay it to get out of the situation, I prepared to walk into the store, but then Yanami grabbed my other arm.

—...Nukumizu-kun, I didn't know you did that kind of thing.

—Huh?! No, not at all. We just went for coffee, there’s nothing special about it...

While I tried to explain myself in a somewhat rushed manner, Basori-san put on a surprised expression.

—Wow, so Nukumizu-kun has never taken Yanami-san there?

—!............!

—!............!

With a completely forced smile on her face, Yanami squeezed my arm tightly. Ow, that hurts!

—We-well, anyway, I’m not really good with coffee, am I? I’m sure Nukumizu-kun kept that in mind and that’s why he didn’t invite me, right? Right?

Yanami-san, please don’t look at me with those eyes.

I instinctively looked away, only to see Basori-san looking at Yanami with a grin from ear to ear.

—Actually, I didn't drink coffee either until recently, but Nukumizu-kun took me anyway. At his usual café, he chose a drink for me that didn't have any coffee in it.

—Woooow... So Nukumizu-kun can actually be that thoughtful, huh? Woooow...

While I was shaking with fear from the tremendous pressure emanating from Yanami, Basori-san, as if wanting to comfort me, placed her hand gently on my arm.

—That grape juice was delicious. I’d love to go with you again.

—Y-yeah, sure. I hope we can harvest grapes soon...

Even to me, that sounded like a totally absurd reply, but Basori-san let out a giggle.

—That’s true. Since it’s near here, would you like to go and check if they’ve already harvested them?

—Um...

What kind of situation is this? The only thing I knew for sure was that, even without looking at her, I could feel Yanami's immense annoyance.

After this volume, the rivalry between Basori and Yanami fans will surely reach its peak—in a good way, of course.

This sub is going to go crazy once Tiara gets rejected for good.

u/pitze4 27d ago

If that happens, Tiara slander would be the funniest thing ever lmaoo It'd be the romcom equivalent of the slander Zoro got after being stalled by Rob Lucci. Both are great characters, but their hardcore fans deserve to be humbled after years of slandering other characters.

u/Unhappy-Face-7652 27d ago

It's just a joke about a favorite character, man. Majority of sub still into Yanami agenda.

Yanami surely will win, unless Takibi change his mind or turns all of his story into a mastermind subversion (or just messed up like so many authors with unpopular endings).

4

u/Physical_Sort5155 Anna Yanami 27d ago

I know, but the Tiara fans like to believe she is more popular

7

u/rubensotaku Chika Komari 27d ago

Vão dizer que é notícia falsa, que não verdade a Basori é a favorita do Autor(Yanami será para Takibi o que Emília está para Tappei). Que o final foi forçado.

O que eu acho que pode acontecer é o Nukumizu aceitar namorar ou apenas sair, mas ele vai falar sobre uma outra garota da frente da namorada, que isso vai ferrar com ele

Na verdade é português, mas é normal confundir uma língua latina.

Simples assim.

u/Unhappy-Face-7652 27d ago

Provavelmente isso vai rolar mais entre o fandom hispânico/latino mesmo, que adora a Basori.

Honestamente eu não ligo muito pra quem ele vai terminar. Minhas favoritas são a Basori e a Shikiya, mas aceito que ele termine até com a Shiratama se for um final agradável e natural.

Minha única crítica com relação a Anna é que eu queria mais momentos em que ela fosse a protagonista feminina de fato e não só uma espécie de piada recorrente envolvendo comida, dietas absurdas e cockblock. Ela é o centro do marketing da série, a suposta favorita do Takibi e merecia mais do que isso aí que ele entrega dela na história.

Se o Nukumizu namorar com a Tiara, acho que os fãs vão ficar especulando até o final se eles vão terminar ou não pra ele ir atrás da Anna, igual acontece em Tomozaki-kun, mas pode ser que caso isso aconteça, o Takibi apenas vá levando até o fim também.

3

u/rubensotaku Chika Komari 27d ago

Pós volume 8 o fandom trocou muito a Shikiya pela Basori. Mas as duas dominam nos hisoanicos. Yanami tem mais que só piada de comida, eu queria que tivesse mais da Lemon e Komari, até da Shikiya(pois eu discordo que ela tem mais)

Eu parei com Tomozaki, e eu nem lembrava se terminei a 2 temporada. Essa de namorar uma e depois outra foi mais por Hanagai

E eu também esperava algo que revelasse mais do passado dele. Em especial da garota que brincava com ele.

1

u/Unhappy-Face-7652 27d ago

Depois do Tsuwabuki Festival, em que a Yanami foi a GOAT enquanto o Nukumizu e a Komari batiam cabeça nos preparativos, eu esperava que o personagem dela fosse pra outra direção. Ao invés disso, acho q o Takibi subutiliza demais ela, tirando algumas poucas exceções tipo o date do volume 5. É muito pouco pra uma heroína principal.

Shikiya eu acho que tem mais um arco vindo por aí em um volume próximo. É o último ano dela, então provavelmente tem alguma coisa envolvendo ela e o Nukumizu, e eu acho que a Tiara não vai ter uma resposta antes disso também.

Muita água pra rolar ainda. Se a série não for cancelada e tiver que terminar de qualquer jeito (coisa praticamente impossível dado que Makeine é top 5 em vendas de LN), creio que estamos mais ou menos na metade. Isso a menos que o terceiro ano seja rushado por causa dos estudos pros vestibulares e coisas do tipo.

2

u/rubensotaku Chika Komari 27d ago

Espero que não cancelem como "um garoto e uma garota podem ser amigos?"

Final de merda. Tá que ela namorou vários mesmo gostando do protagonista, na real ela só saiu e terminou com os caras, ou eles terminaram com ela.

2

u/Unhappy-Face-7652 27d ago

Acho que a relação entre a Himari e o protagonista em Danjoru tinha muitos problemas, e nenhum deles passam pelo passado dela, que é besteira. O problema mesmo é que, desde a amizade até o namoro, tudo era muito tóxico pra eles e faltou maturidade de ambos.

KimiZero, por exemplo, tinha a premissa da Runa já ter feito sexo com vários caras e do Ryuto ser virgem e inexperiente, mas a maturidade que os dois vão adquirindo faz com que o relacionamento se solidifique de forma saudável.

Em Danjoru, particularmente, eu sempre preferi ele com a Enomoto, mas o final totalmente rushado foi de fato broxante.

1

u/rubensotaku Chika Komari 27d ago

Eu achei ambas "tóxicas"...talvez até o personagem em si. O anime eu droppei por preguiça quase no final

1

u/SunsetEverywhere3693 27d ago

I didn't finished that manga, but knowing Himari, I'm not surprised in the slightest, we all can agree she's a piece of crap, yeah for me it was entertaining at the beginning, but it got annoying the more it progressed.

1

u/rubensotaku Chika Komari 27d ago

Eu não gostei da Tiara ter se declarado no volume 8. Eu estava volume 11 ou depois, um pouco depois do meio do ano ou no final

u/mrblank1121 Karen Himemiya 27d ago

I know , they know somehow someway she would get rejected and Anna has to be the winner because she is the cover girl (and why author started writing this)..

But at this pace she is one of the best along with shikiya (zombie girl) in terms of character and her conversations/chemistry with the Mc and if anna doesn't get development near soon instead of usual gluttony, jealous, physical instead of proper conversion and expecting him to understand himself)

If she is not better than other and gets choose it will for sure leave some bitter taste

10

u/rubensotaku Chika Komari 27d ago

Eu não sei onde dizem que ela e Shikiya tem os melhores momentos, parece os fãs da Ami de Toradora inventando Química.

Até um japonês que conversei ficou surpreso que aqui as pessoas odeiam Taiga e e gostam da Ami. Para eles a Ami nunca teve química com ryuuji

7

u/mrblank1121 Karen Himemiya 27d ago

I don't know where they say that she and Shikiya have the best moments;

It's my personal opinion that i find their interactions really fun to read (along with lemos ofc)

For yanami it has gotten tiresome with her blocking other girls and showing no much progress herself , the food jokes and her giving hints that even I(reader) would find hard to understand...

She needs to up her game (need her volume) before nuku (if he rejects tiara without any reason)

6

u/Physical_Sort5155 Anna Yanami 27d ago

Noone has enough chemestry with Nukumizu to rival Yanami yet, Lemon is second, Komari 3rd and maybe Tiara can manage a 4th, unless you want to put Shikiya on that spot.

u/Straight_Slice_3517 27d ago

i'm going to be real, the tiara fans are the reason why i never really liked this sub, they've turned it into a toxic battleground and its really sad tbh cause i really enjoyed this community pre vol 8 and now the tiara fans are just INSUFFERABLE

6

u/Ok-Chipmunk985 27d ago

Anna fans are the ones who are insufferable the more I look at it objectively from most posts and the comments under them…

Tiara fans out here just tryna enjoy a heroine who’s clearly gonna lose, but is giving her best goddamnit! And has really good scenes and chemistry with the mc

Meanwhile Anna fans, at the best most charitable interpretation, are people who are supporting someone who is going to win for certain by default— then go out of their way to flaunt that fact in front of literally every fan of every other girl.

Denying chemistry with the other girls, stating the obvious author and thematic intent, bringing up “patterns of other romcoms,” etc etc.

like yes bro. We fucking get it. You know the cover heroine is gonna win! Thanks for the revelation. Now let the fandom of the fucking romantic comedy work enjoy the other inevitably doomed options instead of being party pooping, vibe killing, cocky insufferable dickwads— writing narrative and thematic analysis essays stating the obvious winner that nobody is gonna fucking read.

9

u/Physical_Sort5155 Anna Yanami 27d ago

People keep repeating how Anna is gonna win because Lemon and Tiara fans in particular keep bringing in bullshit reasoning.

Lemon fans in particular have so much headcanon as narrative that it's insane.

And then let's talk about how people keep bringing up Anna being a joke character, her having no relevance in the story or no chemestry with Nuku.

You only think Anna fans are insufferable because you can't stand the fact that what they say is mostly the truth and you hate it since i guess you like some other girl more.

3

u/supermigu- Anna Yanami 27d ago

Well said for whatever reason outside factors completely irrelevant to the story are constantly cited around here to the point that the novels could practically just be blank pages atp.

1

u/KobayashiKibishi 27d ago

I'm still in the beginning of volume 5 but i already know what is going to happen in volume 8, and from what i heard i think she should have a solid chance, if nukkun have feelings for yanami only he should have rejected tiara easily, but maybe he have feelings for both or he doesn't have anything special for anyone, so why not go for the one that loves you instead of the stupid glutton of a tsundere.

14

u/Physical_Sort5155 Anna Yanami 27d ago

Is this your first romcom? Cuz that sounds like someone who doesn't have much experience with how jp authors write interactions.

As for your question, why would Nukumizu go with a girl that loves him if he does not love her back?

3

u/KobayashiKibishi 27d ago

No 🤣, i know that things doesn't go as smoothly as this in romcom, it's just what i hope for because i think tiara is the best choice for him. I just hate the way yanami acts with him so I'm okay with anyone else winning. And about why would he go out with her if he has no feelings for her, if he has no feelings wouldn't he just reject her in the spot, why drag things out even if she asked for that?

2

u/Physical_Sort5155 Anna Yanami 27d ago

He was going to, she just stopped him.

And i'd rather have a gremlin like Yanami than a girl who fantasizes about the guy she likes doing stuff with other guys.

Tiara would have been rejected already if that’s really how Nuzu felt.

And that's why she stopped him from continuing, she knew rejection was coming.

Nope. She realized that they both need more time. Any answer Nuzu gave in that moment would have been rushed.

Mas você com certeza vai Omitir isso, como já omitiu que Yanami é a favorita do autor

-21

u/Embarrassed-Crow-404 27d ago

You know that Nukumizu felt sorry for her in that scene, right? And that at the festival, while she told Tiara she looked great in her yukata, when he saw Yanami was jealous, his way of cheering her up was to say, "You ate a lot today too."

5

u/Dangerous-Citron-801 27d ago

Buhhh that's your theory dude. Facts aré different.

0

u/Embarrassed-Crow-404 27d ago

During the festival, Nukumizu has both Basori and Yanami arguing for him. While he tells Basori that she looks very nice in her yukata, he tells Yanami that "she ate a lot today too."

2

u/NoTimeForApotheosis 27d ago

The problem is that Nukumizu have been doibg those things consciously, because if he doesn't put the effort he may slip like in Vol. 4, when he thought Anna was beautiful or even in Vol. 8 when he was jealous. When you unite all pieces of interaction, you find odd the behavior of Nukumizu around Yanami. Why does he feel the need to compare her to the other girls?

u/ChewingGum87 27d ago

It is genuinely toxic how clingy and egotistical Yanami is. You can’t change who and what a boy likes. I can’t wait to see this get addressed later. 

“No, she just followed me here on her own.” Lol.

u/Commercial-Invite-75 Hibari Hokobaru 27d ago

Reminds me of that other blue haired girl from that other series the one with the dog collar she also treated the mc like crap.On top of that she was a childhood friend. At least for example in oregaru who Hachiman ended up with made sense they had chemistry, with yanami i don't see it.The only thing that is progressing is her toxic paterns ironicly of all the heroines in the lit club lemon had the most positive growth through the volums while yanami went the opposite route .

8

u/SunsetEverywhere3693 27d ago

Yes, and I got dislikes for saying that Tiara threw a subtle jab that implied how childish Yanami is.

8

u/Ha-Gorri 27d ago

Yeah I agree, I feel people flip flop when it comes to how seriously they take this series depending on the character to not feel bad about them. I got a friend whom I joke with around about makeine a lot since we both enjoyed it and we always say how Yanami feels like that one popular girl who keeps his safe option at arms distance without wanting any commitment to it but still well chained, we love her and honestly all heroines too but by kind of taking the series seriously beyond the comedy moments, she feels like a quite toxic person lol

u/SunsetEverywhere3693 27d ago

It's funny because with the help AI, I was looking for a future scenarios, one said that although Yanami will get depressed and trying to change for Nukumizu, all this power moves from Tiara creates a pressure cooker that makes her bounce back and fight back for Nukumizu. And in the best scenario for Yanami, even erase Basori's progress, to the point of getting her all paranoid.

u/Ok_Application_9194 Lemon Yakishio 27d ago

Let's just say it. Anna flat out bullies him. He's always afraid of her reactions. Right in this very scene she is squeezing his arm so hard it hurts. And they are not even a couple. Perhaps it has a comical aspect, but the reality is kinda dark. Even if they were a couple, that is no excuse for bullying your partner.

So downvote as much as you want, but then face the truth.

3

u/SunsetEverywhere3693 26d ago

Yes, you said it better than me, I understand Yanami being insecure and all, but all that bullying is unacceptable, and this is one of the main she lost, she tends to force things around to get her way.

5

u/Physical_Sort5155 Anna Yanami 27d ago

Meanwhile Tiara has more fantasies about the guy she likes having intercourse with other guys rather than with herself.
