Chizuru wisdom

Well, she's not wrong.

>>279822374 (OP)
And then she gave her work as an excuse for rejecting romance.
Typical woman.

>>279822374 (OP)
How does this whole manga read like one gigantic shitpost when it's actually not?

>>279822374 (OP)
jesus christ lmao
what a fucking hypocrite

>>279822402
>>279822485
Protip: She doesn't owe him sex because he gave her money

She owes me sex

New chapter when? I want to see Rentcuck stand up for himself for once in his pathetic life and it looked like we might just get to see that last chapter

>>279822374 (OP)
>you need to work really hard so you can be rich and give me all your money but also somehow spend every waking second with me

>>279822374 (OP)
Is there not a single mangaka in existence who can draw a proper side profile? She looks like someone sanded off the front of her face.

>>279822374 (OP)
so wise

>>279822691
That's how asian people look

>>279822374 (OP)
>Wants to be an actress
>has not shown any talent for it
WTF is the point?

>>279822983
She's pretended to care for Rentcuck well enough that he's spent tens of grand on her. She's a brilliant actress

>>279822983
Not just that but the story has made a point to show that every opportunity she had as an actress fell flat. She really doesn't have any talent. You know, besides being a paid whore.

>>279823013
>She really doesn't have any talent. You know, besides being a paid whore.
What exactly is that fucking retard seeing in her again?

>>279822374 (OP)
If this was said after he funded that movie for her then why the fuck would anyone read past this point?

>>279823013
I was wondering about that. She seemed a little old to not have a real foot in the industry. Her portfolio is bear too.

>>279822576
Tuesdays.

>>279823013
The point being made was that it's an industry where talent doesn't matter, it's more important if you knew the grandpa when you were young or if you suck the producers dick.

Alright so what was the deal here, they were talking about stew but then somehow it was actually a script or something?

>>279823165
I guess letting the producer grab your tits works too.

>>279822896
>She said sex, she said sex
Isn't he supposed to be in his twenties?

>>279823318
All his friends and pretty much everyone he knows is still a virgin, Mami isn't but he doesn't know that.
Just this slut here and that's it.

>>279823376
Is he a virgin? I thought he had a girlfriend and they broke up immediately before the start of the series.

>>279823576
>I thought he had a girlfriend and they broke up immediately before the start of the series.
Yeah that's the whore Mami, she only kissed him once though. Her real experience is with other men.

>>279822402
That just mean that Cuckzuya just isn't good enough or worth the effort to make her consider putting him on the same pedestal as her job.

>>279823656
>worth the effort
She's been grooming him the entire story, she is just having a woman moment.

>>279823656
While that is true she rejected every guy in her life and she was fairly popular getting confessions all the time. She has some ridiculous ego and nobody is good enough.

>>279823908
A man she just met was good enough, but after that there was no more room in her heart for anyone else.

>>279822896
LMAO

>>279824217
Can't wait for Chizuru's first love/ex-boyfriend arc to see the guy that swept her off her feet so hard no other got after that will ever compare.

>>279824639
>First guy that challenges her beliefs is first love

Well if it wasn't for Mami-chan he wouldn't have sperged out at second date.

>>279822402
I feel like she rejected because she waited too long for bro to make any move. Reading back through the date she was the one who was into it, asking questions about kids and other marriage flags, but Kekzuya was the one acting emotionally distant and vague. It was to the point where she even doubted if he liked her that way, rather she thinks he pities her. When it came to the pier, it was clear she wanted something to happen but bro did absolutely nothing. Then she gave back the ring assuming it was a lost cause.

>>279825174
I think she thought his answers weren't serious enough about the future and she made her decisions there, but we will find out next week. She seemed to be under the impression that she needed to decide to either get engaged right now, or do whatever it is she did.
> lost cause
>yet
Read that one again, she is trying to leave the door open.

>>279825174
If he “made a move” 250 chapters ago it would’ve been over.

>>279825339
The problem with that is she has hit him and kicked him too many times when he has done that in the past, and while certainly there are times when he could have made a move after that, she has been rather effective in training him to the point where expecting that is rather unrealistic.

>>279822402
I still don't get why work is the excuse for her to reject him.
>It's not because she's too busy, they meet each other outside of work all the time
>It's not because because having bf while being rental gf is inappropriate, Cuckzuya would have no issue with it

>>279825374
Kazuya hasn’t been selfish one time, literally the one thing he needs to do is to stop being a mcsimp then they’ll get to screw like crazy, potentially soon but given Chorizo’s footsore and his recently contracted ED it would likely be a kiss at best.

>>279825672
Not only are you forgetting all the moves he tried, but he even literally said It's time for me to be selfish this time when they did the school uniform date.
>ED
now you are just making things up

>>279822402
>>279825567
I think it's pretty clear it was meant to be hypocritical. She always tells others how they should live their life and then completely fucks up her own
I think that's what Reiji is doing with her character.

>>279825567
Everything she said about work in this part is about how her work has been impacting the people in their lives, and it's clearly causing her guilt. They are not just discussing a job, but also about coming clean to everyone about everything.

>>279825277
>I think she thought his answers weren't serious enough about the future and she made her decisions there
The fuck more did she want from him? He was 4 months+ at her mercy, fearing bad judgment for everything he did and she wanted him to be more serious? Yeah, no, even for Chizuru's standards that would be a dick move

>>279825856
>I haven't thought about it
basically anything but that

>>279825844
Yeah, she has a big guilty baggage, that's why she thinks she's not worthy to put the ring on, plus all the other shit makes her unable to. The thing is that she basically confessed she would be ready to marry, something Kazuya never asked her, if it wasn't for that stuff.
She's so self centered she didn't even consider the person she loves' opinion

>>279825750
>school uniform date
You mean the same one where he fell on her boob and failed to hug her in the photo booth? Look I’m all for defending this couple but they can’t be on the same wavelength for anything to save their lives.

>>279826134
They can, they are just too fucking stupid to do it without major external forces and/or accidents. That's the biggest issue.
Everybody and their mother knows Chizuru wants to fuck the shit out of Kazuya and that she loves him, same goes for him. But will they act on it like normal people? Hell no, they are smoothbrains

>>279825339
Let's be honest here, Kazuya could have made a move in chapter 1.
Even if it wasn't with Chorizo, he could definitely pull a girl who's about the same or better.
He's tall (for a Jap), comes from money, is canonically good looking. He literally has other girls orbiting him ready to hop his bone if/when he gets over Chorizo.
The only thing stopping him from succeeding romantically is himself and his beta oneitis.

>>279826134
>failed to hug her

>>279826280
Now that I think about it, was there ever a chapter where Chizuru was shown smelling Kazuya and or his clothes?;

>>279825817
That puts way too much faith in Reiji's writing ability.

>>279826280
I thought he was hover-handing her. It’s hard to tell if the author implied he followed through or not.

>>279826304
Sadly no she’s not Ennochi from Danjoru.

>>279826464
So far he EVENTUALLY wrote things well, after seas of fillers and shit writing though

>>279826511
That’s the thing about his writing he’ll write nothingburgers that don’t make sense or don’t come into play until several chapters later, then you see the resolution he was aiming for.

>>279826641
Yeah, but the endless filler and shit writing sour everything

>>279822374 (OP)
It's insane how blatant the simp propaganda is

>>279826668
The filler is based on the main couple miscommunicating and remaining dense enough to keep from ending up together, which is as frustrating to them as it is to the reader. (Not Reiji though cause he gets his paycheck from all of this.)

>>279826721
No, the filler is useless most of the time, with repetition of old chapters and sponsored ads. It sucks

>>279826762
>sponsored ads
Nothing wrong with some tasteful pizza advertisements.

>>279823908
We know only one person is good enough for her.
And the beret will always stay on.

>>279824686
>Well if it wasn't for Mami-chan he wouldn't have sperged out at second date.
He sperged out because he found out about the rental girlfriends' truth.

>>279825750
I mean, not only he has been selfish, but also isn't considering the other girls' feelings.

>>279825925
Tbf, Chizuru is at just half a step to apologize for being alive. Never have seen a FMC that apologizes a lot and even for things she hasn't even done for everything in shounen manga. The only one before Chizuru who basically apologized even when she had the period or went to the WC was from a seinen manga.
Instead of rejecting Kazuya, she should have given him the shit test to see how much of a simp he was by asking him to commit shinjuu with her if he loves her that much

>>279826677
Dunno if he's a mouthpiece for Reiji or something. If true, then dude's fucked.
If he wants to be there for his wife, he should throw his karaoke village behind and join his wife in her stewardess job

Why is she still here?
Just to suffer?

>>279827215
As long as Jazuya doesn't give up on Mizuhara, she will never ever give up on Kazuya (and even if he gives up on Mizuhara, she won't give up on him).
Dude's fucked. He shall better begin to get used to her if a pity sex and severance with Chizuru happens.

>>279827215
Dunno who's more pathetic, if Ruka or post kekfession Yuri lmao.

>>279827215
It will always baffle me how Reji is incapable of seeing how almost every interaction that Kazuya and Ruka have ends up making Kazuya look like a dickhead and a bad person and worst of all he gets away with it

>>279827393
Well he is a bad person stringing her along

>>279827393
Kazuya is the victim here, he didn't really want to be involved with her but his master forced his hand.

>>279827393
Both are awful people althoughbeitheless. One is an openly selfish, possessive, manipulative and overly emotional compulsive liar and Kazuya is a compulsive liar and a self destructive asshole towards anybody who's clingy with him (even though his assholery is induced by his simpery. Resignedzuya with eyes that would make a dying old man in his deathbed look more alive may be more flexible... or maybe that's because of freudian ego death).

>>279827470
He can cut the relationship at any time tho and his master expects him to do it to show that he is serious about their relationship and yet he doesn't do it

>>279827470
Victim turned victimizer.
This is the point of reiwa romances, how the MC, in his stubborn and desperate attempt to win their oneitis over, goes down the slippery slope and has no qualms into abandoning everything, everyone, and even himself and isn't above using the one that loves him the most as a tool/accomplice for his goals without considering if she's ok with that.
Reiwa romance is all about FeMC having to save the MC from himself.

Japan is now under a nihilistic and terminal period, and its media reflects that.

>>279827393
Kazuya knows, it's a plot point and it will come crashing down, nobody knows when or after how much filler shit other than Reiji though

>>279827608
This is like the most anti-nihilistic story of all time.

>>279827526
>openly selfish, possessive
This doesn't make sense she is doing every Kazuya wish while only getting pity dates out of it, for example in the panel posted before in the next page she allows him to cheat on her just because she thinks that that's going to help Chizuru, keep in mind that she doesn't even like Chizuru as a person
>manipulative
The only example I can think of is when she lied about having sex with Kazuya
>and overly emotional compulsive liar and Kazuya is a compulsive liar
Wut? She is the most honest character in the series, when she likes Kazuya she just says it, when she used to dislike him she said it, when a character does something stupid she says it, the only example I can think of is the previous case

>>279827752
>The only example I can think of is when she lied about having sex with Kazuya
Nevermind, I just remembered the blackmail but still, it's too fex moments to call her manipulative

>>279827752
She does all of that because she thinks it will help her achieve her goal.

>>279827704
>This is like the most anti-nihilistic story of all time.
The morning glory story Kibe told to Chizuru is peak nihilism. Kazuya didn't give up, however, he didn't get the shit he wanted despite of winning the 1st prize (got a blue hibiscus instead of the morning glory he wanted so badly).

Not giving up can take you further, but doesn't guarantee you'll get the expected results.

>>279827834
>He could have a loving woman that wanted to smash every hour, but no he'll have a dried-up pussy

>>279827834
You keep using that word, and something something that's not what it means.
>peak nihilism
I know people say this a lot, but looks like you are projecting.

>>279827793
This is so fucking retarded lmao
>Step 1: acquire a trial boyfriend that you want to turn into a real boyfriend
>Step 2: let yourself be cucked
>Step 3: ???????
>Step 4: Profit!
Yeah, I think I rather believe that she is actually kind instead of a James Bond tier villain

>>279827834
There is not giving up while working on something that is great, meaningful or just helps your life in the long term but there is also spending all your money on a useless whore which you should abonden.

>>279827965
If you don't think getting the perfect girl is meaningful then I'm not sure what you are doing here but good luck with that.

>>279827793
She's literally Yuri-lite. If she sees Kazuya's family is a roadblock to get Kazuya, she would ploy to disband it from inside. And she may have plenty of reasons to do so, if she finds them out.
That family is a fucking lie, it's hinted since Hawaiians the reason Kazuya was ever born was because Nagomi pushed Kazuo into pumping Harumi (who was a settlement for him) and Kazuya's dad actually doesn't love her, neither his son. The line he said to his son still resonates in my head.
>I had to lie for almost 30 years
It may imply he had oneitis for a 100000000/10 girl when he was a teen, got dumped by her (who chose a gigachad from her same career path), gave up on trying to get hooked to please his mom, Nagomi went abyss gma over him and forced him to settle with someone, no matter who; otherwise, he was gonna get disowned, and Harumi may be the safe rebound he settled with.

Mami was right, Kazuya's family is fucked up and is a subject for a disbandment. Honestly speaking, his parents should be divorced.

>>279828017
>f you don't think getting the perfect girl is meaningful then I'm not sure what you are doing here but good luck with that.
It's meaningless once you find out said perfection wants other thing or other person.
The point is that perfection doesn't exist.

>>279828122
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if I say it's perfect then it is.

>>279822896
She's totally right though.
Can you actually debunk her statements?

>>279828210
You can't debunk a subjective opinion.

Mini also has a point here.

>>279828286
>Someone she didn't like it trust
She let someone who'll do all the heavy work for free

>>279828363
She rejected Kazuya after telling him she thinks she may like him.
Mini was right, she was also doing her own investigation, and Kazuya's msg is the conclusion to her investigation.

Chizuru... sexo

Ch382 early spoilers.
>Color page has Vol. 41 regular and special edition cover reveals and anime S4 info.
>Zuru PoV chapter. Mostly filler, except brief hints of the main reason she rejected Kazuya (3 scanlined flashback panels where Umi says something, but it's not revealed. Chizuru's eyes get the sparky eyes and says "Okay!". She used the heels from pic related chapter in the flashback)
>On a taxi, Mini calls her all the names and blocks her on LINE, making her extra guilty and on the verge of crying, the blisters make shit worse. She leaves the taxi because "she couldn't let the cab driver see her in such a pitiful state, otherwise, he'll start asking questions".
>Chapter ends the same way 381 ended, but from Chizuru's PoV. She has only one ambiguously meant thought at the end "taking this path is something i'll end up regretting later").
>Next time: sneaky.

>>279828632
Forgot the pic

>>279828632
>oh well, atleast I got him to spend $250k on me and go into heavy debt
>i'm a good person

>>279828632
god i wish this were real
suffer in an american paella, chorizo

>>279828632
Umi discovered the rental gig of Mizuhara and is blackmailing Chizuru into getting in a fake relationship with him for better jobs.

As expected Mini is a bitch and bitches.
The sneaky reveal is about Mini, not Chizuru.

>>279828632
>early spoilers
It's too early for even the earliest of spoilers.
"spoilers" after nothing, but talking points from all the different shit posters put together.
Chapter focuses and Chizuru's thoughts, yeah that barely happens and it never is something like this.
Spoilers have no details of Kino spreads
Spoilers come in English before anything else
It's only Kano Kari spoilers.

You didn't even try. 0/8

>>279829506
>As expected Mini is a bitch and bitches.
She has reasons to bitch tho. Kazuya's msg just proved her right about Chizuru.
>The sneaky reveal is about Mini, not Chizuru.
It's Kazuya mumbling what Mini told him about Chizuru inside his state of resignation.

>>279830203
Blue Lock spoilers come out today tho. If another WSM has something interesting to show, it gets early spoiled too.

And even if fake, it's very possible tho. Reiji is a master of stalling and would dedicate almost an entire chapter to make a PoV chapter where he glazes about Chizuru's "perfection", draw her from every angle, justify her actions, paint her choosing Umi and leaving a taxi because she can't let others show she's vulnerable as something good, deem Mini (AKA readers) as an ignorant despite of being right and punish Kazuya (AKA himself) further.

>>279830242
I'm pretty sure she's just some jealous regular drama-thirsty bitch in heat setting them up for failure since she's had the feeling Kazuya and her might click.

Bitches be projections their own functioning onto people to try to understand their actions.
She's just the same as Mami, just sneakier so far.

>>279830203
>Spoilers have no details of Kino spreads
Some chapters don't have kinospreads.

>>279831463
Just like Ruka and Mami before, dem degen thots be try and sink Kaz x Chiz boat.

>>279831573
I always have found Zuru-otas and Kuzuru shippers amusing. They think those 2 (plus Sumi and those who are on the couple side of things) are the only good people here and the rest are evil sneks and psychocunts who want to separate them.

It's funny because the actual truth is that nobody is good here and everybody are pieces of shit. Even those who are seen as the victims.

>>279831800
Never said I support Kazuya and Mizuhara shipping.
I just hate bitches like Mami Ruka and Mini.
Even if Sumi goes into prostitution business for some sketchy reason (in spin-off she wants to be an idol apparently, kinda weird but well), she hasn't done mean things so far

>>279826762
There is no filler. The manga isn’t necessarily plot-driven but rather character-focused. Each chapter has a role even if it has small, but not insignificant character-building moments.

>>279828632
Nice bait, but I think how the story continues is written on the wall. This whole date was held on the premise that Chizuru gives Kazuya more time to make her love him. And I quote Kazuya in his date proposal: "Please give me this opportunity, so you can fall in love with me." ...He said that shit to THE Chizuru Mizuhara, the giga-autist who has no fuckin' clue what love is. What's gonna happen next:
> Kazuya meets her again, she is clearly visibly sad and/or crying
> "Why are you crying?"
> "...I don't know"
> She won't even know her fuckin self, cuz autism
> Chizuru will be hit with a "Why am I upset at the outcome, even though I did the right thing?"
> They might kiss, might not
> Conclusion of the "date"
The morale of these last 50 chapters will be a completely new definition of 'love', think about it you fuckers. This manga, up until now, has only ever portrayed love as 'adoration' or 'affection', but not the part of love that hurts.the only other time it did this was in Chapter 218, but we don't talk about that one...

>>279827215
Reminder that Kazuya never liked Ruka cause she violated the bro code with Kuri. Of course he would never have the balls to become the cucker though.

>>279832691
Yea she’s upset that kazuya did not step up and just gave up. She’s a woman, not an autist, it’s not her job to chase.

>>279822374 (OP)
This is to mangas what Vekoma SLCs are to roller coasters. They look fun but are more often janky piles of shit that leave people unsatisfied and with a headache.

>>279828632
>>279828655
Why are you so obsessed with those heels anon?

>>279833512
>It’s like riding on a paraplegic tortoise with cerebral palsy while at the same time giving you whiplash.

>>279833481
I'd say she knows she hurt him bad and doesn't buy his response. She may be feeling even more guilty because he's still trying to let her "get away with it" instead of actually expressing hurt/disappointment/anger or whatever

>>279833481
>>279834304
She looks back in the whole last chapter. She definitely expected him to fight more
It's her job to chase too for fuck sake,

>>279834401
>it’s her job to chase too
She would but Mami rustled her jimmies too much and made her feel wrong about it all.
Think back to the shirt-grabbing in haunted house, she thought she was giving him the green light but Kazuya’s response (or lack thereof) made her feel guilty about it instead.

>>279832691
The "more of the same shit" scenario would just prove Mini right and make her crashout even worse. Kazuya wanted a result of the investigation, got disillusioned and there's no point into stringing him along anymore.
From this situation there are just 2 escape ways:
>a) either just be honest with herself and accept she loves Kazuya, manga enters into the last 10 or 20 chapters, or...
>b) a severance and return to square zero (Mami confessing and returning to Kazuya's life), Kazuya and Mizuhara actually go their separate ways in an abrupt and inconclusive way because Chizuru decides to one sidedly cut ties. Mami returns as Kazuya's situationship (end living together in his new flat because she escaped, she even makes Kazuya get an internship), he lets Ruka keep being his gf just because he stops caring, but has to hide his situationship from her, fate starts to move the mahjong pieces so two estranged souls can cross paths again. Manga keeps continuing, however things begin to untangle.
There's no way this goes back to "more of the same" after Mini's meddling, however you may have a point about the different types of love: the only thing that will happen if Mini and Mami crash out is that Chizuru will know another definition of love: the one that Mini and Mami represent: blind and unquenchable loyalty and regrets/desire to amend things respectively.

If i wanna to keep caving 'till the core, Chizuru's definition of love, "the hurtful, painful and unfair" one, may also hide another dark layer besides of disappointment and rejection open betrayal, cheating, and dishonesty.

You shall remember the theory of the 3 loves (inmature/passionate, painful and complete). Now we shall guess, which kanogirl would represent the 3rd love for Kazuya? An awakened Mini? Heel Sumi? Ruka after reaching maturity?

>>279834304
That shit will never happen bruh. She won't fight and will always wait for someone to come and pick her.
Kazuya already gave up.

>>279822896
she is like
>If i have sex with someone doesn't count as cheating because is my work.
while kazu is "she said sex" but not realizing the whole thing.

At the end of the day, both of them are acting like RomCom characters, not human characters. Trying to pick up on actual human interactions in this is like picking corn kernels out of shit. They may say a normal thing for 1 panel, then go right back into retard mode.

If anything, this manga is a good barometer for knowing to stay away from someone if they say like it for any reason that has to do with romance, love or dating.

>>279834716
That's why before something good comes, shit has to get actually worse, even have some type of hard-reset before they get better (?). The way Kazuya and Chizuru met was wrong, everything was wrong with the "relationship". New lies, new status quos, all that shit only have made things worse for them.

It's actually necessary for them to go their separate ways. Sometimes you can end winning by just losing and forfeiting, time and situations will determine if it was the right thing or not. For Chizuru, it can be for the best. The main reason she rejected Kazuya wasn't because of unmanliness, but because she felt like she was forced to accept him by peer pressure (granny, kibe and Mami mainly) and because, let's be real, Umi gives her more opportunities to climb as an actress. She needs time by herself without the external pressure to evaluate herself if what she did was the right thing or simply she is sacrificing her own happiness because of an impossible dream (prove his grandma she can be a greater actress, despite of granny herself having told her several times why she gave up on acting and chose to leave everything behind to be happy).

>>279834868
>At the end of the day, both of them are acting like RomCom characters
They are misery porn characters stuck in a romcom-tinted/misery porn core series.

Just 2 walking trauma and bad raising vessels who drown themselves in their respective fishtanks.

Captcha: yapap (Yapapa yapapa ii shan ten)

>>279835215
Guess there's no making them improve then.
No Kaz x Chiz is necessary anyway

>>279834401
I don't think it's about chasing, she was prepared for some kind of fallout because it would be understandable and even the "correct" response for lack of a better term. A fight would be easier on her conscience than this

>>279836227
Yeah, I said it's her job to chase to because the other anon somehow thinks women shouldn't be treated equally

>>279836437
Women also can chase
The issue is... we're talking about Chizuru. We don't know if everything she did was real or just an act, because she can't feel emotions.

>>279836532
She thinks so little of herself she doesn't act upon her emotions, because LE unworthy, LE zuru onna

>>279836532
HAL 9000 as he died had more emotional range.

lol HAL doesn't die, Bowman just rips the commands to lie out of his programming and boots him right back up and he operates just fine for the rest of the mission

>>279836951
Even easier, even a fucking corpse like Nagi chose to chase Reiji after it was everything seemingly over between them, and if Reiji didn't know, it was because of fucking Yuri having a thermonuclear tantrum, going full eyeshield 21 over her and triggering her inculpation ptsd.

>>279836532
>real or just an act
She’s a master actor. We’ll never know. Maybe this was trying to tell us something.

>>279828632
I know Mini is a hardcore shipper but blocking someone over this is just so petty.

>>279837644
It's because it confirms every fear she had.

>>279824686
He sperged out because she was just a paid actor who tries to pass off as something genuine.

>>279837313
She's been well-taught and well paid for this master rental girlfriend long act.
Like, bruh, she fakes being horny as fuck so well even without people looking at her it's just inhumanly inhumane at this point

>>279834047
It's very strange to dedicate a panel to show those heels. It's obvious it's an ominous foreshadowing and one of the core reasons she ended up rejecting Kazuya. Kibe, granny and her beef vs Mami are just part of it.

>>279837644
>blocking someone over this is just so petty
That would be a form of running from the conflict, seems out of character.

>>279837765
>It's because it confirms every fear she had.
This is why I can’t really take her seriously. She’s not the one asking for a relationship with Mizuhara maybe she should stop acting like it.

>>279838328
>That would be a form of running from the conflict, seems out of character.
Or probably indignation at being proven right about Zuru being sneaky and showing a declaration of intentions that she'll now see Chizuru as a rival.

>>279838378
Her goal is to get Kaz for herself, she chose to demonize his crush in order to succeed, I'm not sure Kaz will appreciate if she confesses afterwards

>>279838009
The other day someone was talking about how the filled in black backgrounds are supposed to convey negative things, then I go to read it and his grandma doing gachas has a black background. People just make up the most retarded shit.

>>279838448
Doing gachas is one thing.
Rejecting Mami's call and lower panels showing a sequence about that mean Kazuya dis something that will "bite" him back. Even next page hasbthe panel with the chapter title giving emphadis to Kazuya's phone.

>>279838383
If she is full of indignation she would use the opportunity to say more things, not stop saying things.

>>279838528
Next page has the ch title and it's rare to give emphasis to the phone in that pic.

>>279838447
He didn’t even get mad at Mami when she tried to shame his favorite faker girlfriend and even apologized to her. Nothing these women do will set him off short of being Mizuhara herself and stating a complete rejection.

>>279838528
>it's a thing except when it's not a thing, but this time it's a thing

>>279838640
He was drunk and not thinking straight.
Still I'm not sure Kazuya will see Mini in a positive light if she continues badmouthing Chiz like Mami and Ruka do, especially if she confesses

>>279822374 (OP)

My source is I made it the fuck up.

>>279838725
Even simping has its limits. At least I hope it does.

>>279838725
Keep in mind he remembered Mini's words after the rejection.

Another thing you should pick there. He didn't have to apologize to Mini for the date results, but he did it, so it looks he'll end giving her the reason.

>>279838811
We know Reiji, but can you please stop and do something productive next?

>>279838890
Thing is that Kazuya trusts Mini that much.

>>279823376
It's a bit strange how this got swept under the rug.
Just trying to fuck you no big deal.

>>279839163
Because it wasn't a big deal? Mini never tried to fuck him so far

>>279839221
>Mini never tried to fuck him

>>279838528
Here's a ominous foreshadowing. It doesn't have a black background, it has a eyeless Chizuru though, because that's how you telegraph people having ulterior motives/hidden intentions.

>>279839309
Forgot pic

>>279839309
>it has a eyeless Chizuru though, because that's how you telegraph people having ulterior motives/hidden intentions.
Or the author is just a hack who can’t really tell a story without hiding his character’s faces because it would reveal too much information about them.

>>279839295
While it's very possible that she'll just fall for the"wingman falls in love himself" trope, at that point it was just a misunderstanding. She has a very different idea of personal space than the other girls I'll grant you that, since she did it with a total stranger. The question is would she still do that now.

>>279838640
It feels weird to defend that panel but he only apologized cause Mami was feeling threatened by him (although she was feigning it and he didn’t know).

>>279839392
He's not a hack because he hides Chizuru's true intentions. He's a hack because no matter how it will go down he'll just use the "it was acting" excuse.

>>279839483
He apologized multiple times after he’s just cucked like that.

>>279839547
>He's a hack because no matter how it will go down he'll just use the "it was acting" excuse.
Even he knows he'll truly piss people off if he pulls that card at this point. It would've been acceptable way earlier on, but at this point it's not valid.

>>279839610
>multiple times
He didn’t though? In this scene he also disguised a complete love confession to Mami and ran off. It wouldn’t have made sense for him to aggressively lash out.

>>279839793
Just assume that whenever she did this face, it was all bullshit or renkano mode.

>>279822896
The ntr doujins are writing themselves

>>279839832
I think you underestimate just how much this simp has apologized. Not just to Mami but to literally everyone.

>>279839475
You have to pay attention to all the times she talks about losing control.
She was definitely trying to fuck she just didn't get the reaction she was expecting.

>>279839938
I'm not saying she hasn't pulled some actress shit, but for the truly important stuff it wouldn't fly.

>>279840045
I’m all for dogging on Cuckzuya but please point out better examples.

>>279840163
>I’m all for dogging on Cuckzuya but please spoonfeed me
no

>>279840113
It will have to: it's the difference between Mizuhara and Ichinose and how Kazuya never noticed he only ever liked the fake.

>>279839938
I was forced to live through harsh winters and blistering summers with that fucking panel of her smile, to the point where it gives me physical damage every time I have to see it again, anon. Don't you ever, EVER post that panel again.
>>279834718
> If i wanna to keep caving 'till the core, Chizuru's definition of love
> Chizuru's definition of love
I mean this in all honesty, Chizuru has no fucking idea of love in the first place. She does not understand it. That's even why the fuck Kazuya and her landed in this situation.

She does not understand her feelings, she never has. Hopefully, the 'progress' I am predicting is for her inner irrational to fight back. She rejected him on the bridge. Then why the fuck is SHE upset about it? With all of the lead-up prior to this Date and the public consensus on this, let's pray that's the direction this is going alhamdulillah

>>279827215
You know what’s extra fucked up about this trash. Literally no one knows Ruka is his real girlfriend, except for her own mom and Mini maybe. His whole family and friends have already shipped Mizuhara and him and knows they are living together. Her whole life has been surrounded by gaslighters.

>>279840807
Kek, her mom doesn't even know Kazuya exists. She lies she goes to a friend everytime she goes out with him.

>>279828210
>Can you actually debunk her statements?
Yeah it's still cheating
>I was only acting when I shot that guy your honor

>>279840352
Blackmail is so hot.

>>279840681
>I was forced to live through harsh winters and blistering summers with that fucking panel of her smile,
Why were you forced to live with a manga panel?

>>279840982
Kazuya snd Ruka are veruly alike then.
If he doesn't want anything from her, it's because Kazuya sees his pathetic snd most unhinged self in her.
There's a reason why he wants the perfection, AKA Mizuhara, so badly. It's to prove a pount against his granfma snd friends.

>>279841074
(Cont) pffffffttttttt
I only can laught at how the post ended up being. Seems my fingerd had a stroke.

>>279840395

>she doesn't find me attractive and desirable enough to abandon all self-control and want to fuck me on the spot much less get engaged
Look, it's just over, and will never be less over.

>>279841406
The only reasonable ammunition Chizuru lovers have against this is that she is lying. Which she probably is. She’s a liar through and through and thinks it’s ok to lie because it’s just acting.

>>279841523
Lying is okay if you are hot enough.

>>279841257

>>279841960
yet somehow he still be paying for shit

>>279842150
Well he still has a job so he's still going to be getting more money. This is also the point when he stops paying rent so his expenses have gone way down, and sometime after this he gets a check from the apartment complex for a lot of money.

>>279841074
>It's to prove a pount against his granfma snd friends.
It's because they see him as a virgin loser he wants to prove them wrong.

>>279842298
He went out of his way to prove to Kuribayashi that he is in fact still a loser virgin after all.

>>279837003
Okay fair enough. But you know what I mean. Him singing “Daisy” was more emotional than anything out of Chizuru.

>>279840807
Mami knows too but yeah, she is the most mistreated heroine in the entire romcoms genre

>>279842453
>mistreated
you get what you fucking deserve

>>279827393
>Reji is incapable of seeing how almost every interaction that Kazuya and Ruka have ends up making Kazuya look like a dickhead and a bad person
That's what made me drop this manga for good, so in a way I'm grateful with him for making these interactions the way they are.

>>279842498
What's your point? Ruka isn't getting a lovely boyfriend and a happy relationship which is exactly what she deserves therefore your statement makes no sense

>>279822374 (OP)
Does anyone have this panel where she asks for 5k to be with her for an hour? was similar to that

>>279842545
He can't even break up with her properly all he has to do is properly talk with her and consider her feelings whilst letting her down easy but instead he's completely selfish and blunt with it, no wonder Ruka didn't buy it.

>>279842828
>properly

This thread has shown me Reiji is actually a genius mangaka

Ruka’s va has a pleasant voice.

>>279837644
No it's not? I've blocked and got blocked for faaar less. If you adore someone and that person gets the worst possible outcome from something, that seems pretty normal.

>>279843160
You can't see her face in the last scene, could be crying already.

>>279841406
> last page
The mangaka is going to bait his readers by having them interact again

>>279843112
It’s not like Mizuhara was caught ten-timing in the act to warrant that. They were at the very least expecting it.

>>279837644
It's like you anons don't know that women can never be true friends with other women

>>279840856
Quite the mom she has there.

>>279843325
That was jet yau shitlation.

>>279842828
Kek, that's one of my favorite Kazuya moments in the series.

He hears from her own lips that the reason why she doesn't broke up with him it's because she thinks she can win him over, and what does our protagonist do after the reveal of such information??? He keeps dating her proving that Ruka was right, you can't even be mad at her because she gets vindicated at record time! Top tier writting

>>279842338
He didn't want Kuri to end up a dangerous incel, that's okay enough a reason to take the L

>>279843225
>Chizuru will hide and wait a little before going home in order not to interact with Kuzuya

Genius mangaka

One last chance for Chizuru to take a dump somewhere and Kazuya to clean it up.

>>279843755
>source: I made it the fuck up

>>279844146
Kazuya would pay money for the opportunity

I hope that’s not the real Chizuru walking in the next chapter with her sore foot some miles away because it makes no sense whatsoever.

>>279844301
She took another train or a cab bruh

>>279844576
The logistics just isn't there sorry. She would have to be sprinting and swinging around like spiderman in order to end up at the exact intersection as Kazuya so it isn’t likely.

>>279844114
He could do a scene with her eavesdropping on him talking with Mini, they will probably just meet normally though.

>>279843325
Huh? I'm pretty sure that in the anime she says that she is going to stay ta a friend's home

I can't believe women are so dumb they just get blisters from their shoes

>>279844697
I fail to see how this is a bridge too far for you. The obvious setup is both have been lost in their own heads and meandering home on an unclear timeline. Her likely reaction will be to realize his response to the rejection was a ruse and that he's obviously hurting more than he let on

>>279844871
But she was sitting down not planning to go yet. Kazuya took a train from one station to another getting off early. If she took another train why isn’t she directly behind him or something? And if she took a cab shouldn’t she be on a different street? Them meeting together again is about as convenient as an earthquake happening and he lands on her tits yet again. I hope she’s just another hallucination.

>>279845176
>I hope she’s just another hallucination.
Another?

>>279845176
>getting off early
Trains are faster anon, one person spent more time on a train.

>>279845250
anon look at the diagram. Look at it. If Kazuya is the solid line going from point Red to point Blue and he got off in the middle somewhere in point Green this is what it’s supposed to look like. And i’m supposed to believe Chizuru in the dotted line managed to catch up with him in a cab? Or followed him from behind using his route? I don’t think so.

>>279845418
He gets off at green, she gets off at blue, and they head lets say north ish. He was ahead of her, but she traveled at a higher speed for longer.

>>279845567
No sorry I still don’t buy it. A fragile girl like her with a foot injury shouldn’t be on her feet anymore. Has to be another girl with a wig.

>>279845743
I have no idea what you are even trying to do there.

Why Chizuru not simply teleport home, time-travel to change the locks, throw away all of Kazuya's belongings and claim the apartment for herself to avoid any awkward interaction.

>>279845970
Because she wants to completely mindbreak him and she can't do that if he loses all hope too early.

>>279845890
The only way this would make sense is if she had a twin and was currently walking home when Kazuya just happened to pass right in front of her.

>>279845970
This shit about how much did each one take to reach the same point reminds me to the asspull Musume no Tomodachi pulls around the end, where MC's taxi was unbelievably faster than a fucking shinkansen.

/a/nons were joking about the saiyan taxi back then because of that.

>>279842453
>Mami always being the only one who catches Scumzuya with each of the 4 other women
She had every right to end his tirade long ago.

>>279846182
Maybe in this case the author wants us to believe the train leads somewhere else.

There I fixed it. Story is now readable.

Do we have spoilers for next chapter yet?

kazuya is a cute bottom

If i get dubs or higher Kazuya will have a good ending. The higher the get, the better the ending.

you now remember that if it wasnt for mini chorizo would still be ghosting kazuya

>>279849467
If it wasn’t for Mini Mizuhara would have finally moved on to the love of her life Umi and they would have both been happy. But she had to seek to sabotage both of their love lives for no real reason. Luckily it was only delaying the inevitable and this mistake can easily be fixed.

True and I like pointing it out.
Also if everything played out the same way after the earthquake all she had to do was block him and they'd never see each other again.

>>279850365
Man I kinda feel bad for Ruka. She is stuck in a loveless, romanceless and sexless relationship simply because she's too retarded to know better or at least even try something else.

>>279849467
He didn't need Mini. Imagine being Kazuya during this, wallowing in his room, literally not even making an effort to run into his next door neighbor, not even trying to contact her or send her another message, just doing fucking nothing for 3 months. Couldn't be more of a retard.

>>279850677
Yea I’m thinking the ghosting wasn’t actually Chorizo’s fault. Kazuya didn’t try at all, he was either actively dodging her or miraculously never ran into her. It only took Mini all but two seconds to find her.

>taking a shower? Getting a job? Take responsibility for my actions? FUCKING WHORES TELLING ME WHAT TO DO?? FUCK ALL OF THEM!

>>279850608
She simply wasn't dedicated enough. Kazuya straight told her he was going to fuck her if she didn't stop, and she chickened out and rolled away, and that's the second time after running from the love hotel.
Sure it's already doomed to not last, but a lot of young romances don't last and she is basically getting what she wants since she doesn't appear to be ready for more.

>>279844819
LMAO

>>279850828
>>279850828
She was ignoring him when he tried to knock on her door and was actively avoiding him.

It's been said for a long time that the weight of the lies and sins they accumulated means that the only way to save them is through a death ending.

Nips seem to be more judgemental. So don't discard them pulling a double suicide or one of them sacrificing his/er life and dreams so the other can keep living and have a dream.

Just remember why Chizuru and Ruka have the same eyes. That's the key to make an ambiguous ending.

>>279851682

>>279851794
But it should be

>>279851882
And if frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their ass when they hopped.

>>279850880
Kazuya's reaction to the ghosting and Chizuru ghosting him are two different things.
Nobody is defending him, he is a retard and a loser, him trying to rent her after Hawaiians is the worst offence.

Her caving in and going with him on a rental date showed she wanted to keep distance and he should've given up right there, but then we got>>279839938 which now turns out to be bullshit as well. You'll see she'll find a way to reset their relationship to rental dates and continue to string him along, because that's what he is for her: a client and nothing more.

I am Kazuya

>>279851682
>Just remember why Chizuru and Ruka have the same eyes. That's the key to make an ambiguous ending.
What's the significance of them having the same eyes?

>>279851682

What is Kazuya's dream?

>>279852170
Author can make Ruka pretend she's Chizuru once she reaches maturity.
A reminder the first scrapped idea for kanokari was 2 rental girlfriends who were actually estranged sisters: the one who "sticks to the rules" and anothernwho's a loose canon and offers MC to do boyfriend things. The OG planned end is also a convoluted wreck, basically the dutiful renkano gets adopted as a kinoshita snd the loose cannon renkano became MC de facto gf.

>>279852230
Chizuru

Takamine is better

Well, she's basically a prostitute, so what if she sucks producers' cocks to get a role in a series or movie?

Yes. It's a romcom manga.

>>279852170
Nothing, Reji has admitted that he draws both characters kinda samey

>>279852230
>What is Kazuya's dream?
That's the shit. He can't have dreams of his own, so maybe if some bitter conclusoon with Chizuru happens, the sweet part should be him inheriting her core dream she gave up for becoming an actress (le comfy boring family with a soccer field of children).

>>279852274
That's the issue.
A woman can't be his dream, that's what this manga is trying to tell us. The best he can do is take all the things she can't fulfill and make them his because of the path she took. That would be an actual good ending. Even if they can't be together, at least each other took the best from the other.

>>279853273
>Yes. It's a romcom manga.
Then consider this as a character focused romantic drama and misery porn story with black comedy elements instead of a romcom.
>>279853780
When he was leaking private info of Kanokari early stages in his highest tier fanbox, he said the og scrapped idea was about a loser MC and 2 rental girlfriends who happened to be estranged sisters (that explains why they have the same eye shape. If we go beyond, Ruka's original hair color in Miyajima's art when she debuted was brown, just like Chizuru). One was just putting the girlfriend facade in front of his family and would never let MC go beyond the ToS while the other actually wanted the MC for herself. Mami was included afterwards and Sumi was a desperate measure to save kanokari from being axed because Ruka was badly received by readers at first and the plot wasn't engaging.

>>279854170
>that's what this manga is trying to tell us
You can be a retard all you want but don't try to drag me down with you.

Sir this is anime
Women are always right because they sell merch to rom com fags and give people a reason to like the series
Men are always wrong because men can't sell merch to rom cam fags and no one watches anime for male characters

>>279854477
I mean, work would be an actual thing to consider given how having a boyfriend is against the rules in the rental services

>>279832237
>just hate bitches like Mami Ruka and Mini.
Ruka is a cute and innocent girl who's just a bit selfish. Literally nothing wrong with her and she'd probably make a good wife

Mini is smart and weird in a good way. Probably always fun to be around and super hot

Mami is the only person one should actively avoid

Innocent girls don't go to love hotels or blackmail people into relationships
>who's just a bit selfish.
She's the epitome of selfishness. Literally the one who would even go against your family and friends and demand you to get away from them if they don't accept her
>Literally nothing wrong with her and she'd probably make a good wife
>Nothing wrong...
You missed the part where Ruka shows her possessiveness, extreme jealousy and even savior complex?

>>279854721
>Mini is smart and weird in a good way. Probably always fun to be around and super hot
Also a backstabbing CF type of cunt who doesn't know what she actually wants (she does cosplay because of peer pressure, not because she is passionate about it and she even confessed she's a natural quitter)

>>279854721
>Mami is the only person one should actively avoid
Not really, with Mami you should just reach to her core AND be a proper boyfriend of her same age.

The only ones you should avoid are Chizuru for the reasons we know (a fucking robot/corpse, won't have qualms into cheating on you if you don't meet her expectations, extremely loose ethics outside of her work as a RaG) and Sumi (it's like dealing with a high functional autist with anxiety disorder, that already makes her more high maintenance).

>>279855024
>She's the epitome of selfishness. Literally the one who would even go against your family and friends and demand you to get away from them if they don't accept her
Back in the movie arc Mini arranges a date between Kazuya and Chizuru and explains it to Ruka that she just wants her boyfriend to cheat on her (mind you she is aware that those two are dating) and that she would prefer if Kazuya started dating Chizuru, and you know what Ruka does? Nothing, she just leaves but never tells Kazuya how much of a bitch Mini is or how he can't never speak to her again, same with Mami even though they clashed when they first met and she has no problem with Kazuya helping Chizuru in her career. Your point gets even more stupid when she has no problems with Kazuya grandma chosing Chizuru over her and she is even moved by that attitude when they first spoke one to one, the problem is that Reji wants you to believe that she is super selfish but he ends up creating an incredibly selfless character that is occasionally impulsive, for every blackmail (which is massively blown out of proportions by the fans) there is 10 other occasions where gets out of her way to help others and receive nothing
>>279855082
>(she does cosplay because of peer pressure, not because she is passionate about it and she even confessed she's a natural quitter)
Source? Because she seems to do it out of her own volition

>>279855454
Are you talking about things that didn't happen?
Like they do a crossover chapter in the manga which is obviously not a real part of the story.

>>279855454
My source is that I made it the fuck up.

>>279855454
>movie arc
She joined the movie arc because she wanted to prevent Kazuya from getting "closer" to Chizuru.
You wanna know what should Ruka do to be selfless? Let go of Kazuya, even if it's against her own reason to keep existing. But that would be too much for an obsessive and hysterical menhera.

>>279855454
>Source? Because she seems to do it out of her own volition
Read the practice date chapters.
Mini said explicitly the reason she kept doing cosplay was because of her cosplaying friends.

>>279851288
>actively avoiding him
Bullshit, he could’ve approached her at any time. Who kisses their client and then blames them for it? She only ran away in the beginning cause she didn’t want to prove Ruka’s 304 accusations. By the end of the 3 months, she probably had it in her head that Akzuya moved on cause of his removed efforts towards her. Like they’re fucking neighbors, you’d need incredible luck to keep missing each other.

>kare
>curry or boy(friend)

>>279856068
she fucks vegetables

>>279856098
I think she just chopped it up and used it as nourishment for a day.

>>279856114
that's what she wants you to think

>>279854751
This only refers to the cohabitation saga but yea, their dynamic remains the same. Unchanging, stagnant.

>>279856098
Nothing like a nutrient rich, vitamin A packed snack.

>>279856068
>kare
>curry or boy(friend)
You disingenuous little shit, here's the next page

>>279856207
This is backwards, complete trash

>>279822983
Thats an innuendo she would be only be worth as JAV actress

>>279856282
She didn't want to give into temptation of carrot.

>>279856207
>their dynamic remains the same. Unchanging, stagnant.
It changed tho. They're on the verge of cutting ties for good.

>>279856068
But anon, they're romcom protagonists. They need to have retarded communication skills in order to force a plot.

>>279856685
They're not romcom protags, but misery porn characters stuck in a romcom-tinted character drama and misery porn.

>Chizuru simp for nearly 400 chapters
>had nothing prepared for this question

>>279855024
Ruka is just a little misguided. She lacks self-respect, defining herself completely through her relationship with Kazuya.

>>279852534
And he got nothing, kek.

>>279852312
>simp story if it had balls

>>279856876
>Ruka is just "a little" misguided.
There's no misguide. She wants self validation.

>>279856883
Nothing except for eternal love

>>279856883
At least he got
>a gf that, after reaching some degree of maturity, may actually be a 100000/10.
>got his ex regretful of dumping him and on the verge of collapsing and revealing her feelings.
>A "wingwoman" who's developing feelings the natural way and not through tunnel effect.

>>279827215
Its a suffering circle slowly spinning into absorbing the most characters driving into making them miserable
Everyone was better before Kazuya decide to buy Chorizo escort services. Its arguably whether Ruka or Mini were happier, maybe they are the only exceptions

>>279856597
Pfffffff, he's back to renting

>>279857144
This except the opposite.

>>279855975
>She joined the movie arc because she wanted to prevent Kazuya from getting "closer" to Chizuru.
No, she joined because she wanted to help Chizuru with the movie and because she wanted to spend more time with Kazuya
>You wanna know what should Ruka do to be selfless? Let go of Kazuya
it is Kazuya fault that Ruka is still around him he, he was the one that lead her on for months and is still doing it he bitches about her yet he still dates her, no wonder why she thinks she still have a chance, he also lies about his relationship status with Chizuru all the time so of course she doubts that Kazuya truly loves Chizuru

>>279857187
The rental date from the after-ghosting was the last one.
If there's a last one, it will be to tell gma they broke up and parted ways, just to make things "clear".

>>279857224
It's not the opposite in any means.
Kibe, Ruka, Mini and Mami would have been in a more better place if they never met Kazuya, same for him if he didn't meet Chizuru, or if we go more rad, if Nagomi didn't force Harumi into having children for 8 straight years, therefore, he wasn't ever born.

>>279857445
>more better

>>279856855
what can he actually say here thats is not related to her acting that way for moneyor she just being pretty?
>>279850828
>Yea I’m thinking the ghosting wasn’t actually Chorizo’s fault.
>kazuya says she ignores him
>its not her fault
im tired of choriputa justifiers

>>279856855
> had nothing prepared
correction, his inner monologue gives a direct answer, but he was too embarassed to explain it out of the blue.
Good god I never thought I'd be here, defending Kazuya...

>>279858284
Having some spontaneous inner monologue isn't the same as being prepared. He didn't anticipate being asked. He didn't steel himself to be open and honest. What do you call that if not zero preparation?

>>279823165
what's happening in your image

>>279858781
Why would he expect questions about marriage and future?

>>279857380
>was the last one
kek, imagine believing that
He'll never grow balls to tell the truth to the granny, he's back to what he did before he fell in love with her except he'll also be heartbroken while doing it. The manga isn't called rent-a-girlfriend for nothing.

>>279859581
Because they are supposed to take their relationship seriously and it's pointless to have a relationship if it doesn't lead to marriage and/or kids?

>>279842867
It's his job to keep readers engaged with the story, and just look how much this board keeps discussing and theorizing about a manga they purport to hate. Anons are hardcore tsundere for Reiji.

I seriously hope nobody here is actually invested in this shit and just laughs at how much of a dork the MC is and the author is as well for writing it out.

>>279857979
>choriputa justifier
Nah bro got bent out of shape for being left on read for 1 message. She was being dumb here too but orders of magnitude less dumb than Kazuya.

>>279862192
Nobody reads this manga I’m pretty sure only me, abyss-kun, and 2 other anons enjoy it.

>>279862192
I'm invested but for the wrong reasons, I just want to see how low can Kazuya and Chizuru fall

>>279862192
Listen mang, I'm just here for the ride

Won't lie to ya, 380 and 381 got me definitely more invested into the story though

So did he get any of the girls by the end of the manga?

>>279863335
Better than a threesome, better than a foursome, he got handsome.

>>279863857
>nutting in a DVD store while his girlfriend is calling him
This nigga cannot be serious.

>>279863335
Only one "de facto"
Although the ex and wingman will be added soon.

>>279863048
>how low can Kazuya and Chizuru fall
Soon. The quagmire is deeper than one could think. Almost like a swamp.
Sex will only make the communication issues nigh terminal, and the only hope left is for Chizuru to do the chase and begin to realize marriage is a fucking big word. But for that, she has to feel the desire of not losing him.

>>279826677
A real man... forgives a woman's lies...

>>279863857
>masturbation hotels
Japan is truly ahead

>>279864918
>Kazuya even paying to orgasm
How could he possibly sink lower

>>279864918
>Kazuya even paying to orgasm
How could he possibly sink lower

>>279859197
Just some light fondling in a Ferris wheel.

So after 382 we're going back to the status quo for the next 500 chapters right?

>>279865687
The status quo would be they keep living together, which might happen and might not.

>>279865687
Kazuya helps bandage up her leg then boom, sexo. End of story.

>>279865827
I admire your optimism.

>>279865687
He already spoiled the ending. >>279847120

>>279856207
The best part is that you can read the panels in any order and it still works.

>>279865827
Could have ended much sooner if that was the goal.

>>279866399
A promise of a happy ending, but not actually drawing an ending?

>>279867440
yeah

>>279865687
going back to the status quo implies that we ever leaved it in the first place

>>279868764
>leaved
Yeah this is totally still the same as when it started.

>>279868789
>trying to steal her friends boyfriend
>clearly not telling her friend what she is up to
Is she really a horrible person?

>>279827834
Girlfriend, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Rent it 10 times, no reason no rhyme
To go on dates, all I do is buy
Whores are a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the beret swings
Watch it cost down at the end of the day
My purse is empty, it's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Throw my savings right out the window
Tryin' to get a kiss, didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I shot everything outside
And even though I tried, not to masturbate
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when

I was so hard and spent so much
But in the end, all simps will get cucked
Bought online whores, to get no-touch
But in the end, there is no fuuuuuuck

>>279862192
I'm buying all the English volumes because I trust Reiji

>>279871631
Haven't read this manga in forever and don't plan on finishing. I just want to say how stupid this protagonist is for not going with Ruka and the author is equally stupid because I know he'll just get with the main prostitute

>>279872184
Ruka is the worst girl though.

>>279869286
>Yeah this is totally still the same as when it started.
The only thing that has changed is that Kazuya family and friends now support Chizuru whore career

>>279872184
Crazy could work, you know if she actually did what she was told.

>>279872265
They have made progress every arc.

>>279871631
Why did she hug him if she's upset he's cheating on her?

>>279873121
That's just how great she is >>279850365

>>279873167
It is suffocating to be that loved by someone you don't care about.

>>279869768
KEK MY LIFE INTO PIECES
THIS IS MY WIFE, A WHORE
MASTURBATION
NO BREEDING
DON'T GIVE FUCK IF I CATCH MY WIFE CHEATING

'CAUSE I'M LOSING MY WIFE
BRICKED UP AND CRYING
WISH SOMEBODY WOULD KILL ME TONIGHT

LOSING MY SIGHT
LOSING MY MIND
WISH SOMEBODY WOULD COME FUCK MY WIFE

>>279873121
She isn't hugging him she is just jumping him

>>279874466
1 star whore btw

>>279875616
She'd probably cheat on you just because saying no is too hard, like when that stranger is lifting her skirt in public.

>>279865505
God damn, there's no way Chizuru's chizurus are that big

>>279876589
I am suddenly interested in this anime
