Fucking Reiji, the absolute madlad

We're so back.

>>280555498 (OP)
He paid for that kiss btw

>>280555498 (OP)
Dat sexhair

>had to humiliate him for two chapters straight just so chorizo could stop being a retarded schizo

>>280555506
Why? What happened? Is the alien coming back? He's my favorite character

>>280555498 (OP)
no one wanted this

With this one page he's bought himself 200 more chapters minimum

>>280555648
i want this, they're made for each other. kazuya WILL get with chizuru and they WILL be happy

>That’ll be 1000 bucks plus tip.

Chat, this real?

>>280555498 (OP)
Those lips have tasted hundreds of other men.

Realistically, what would you do if this happened to you?

I don't trust her, and I would think she's doing this out of pity. She had a lot of time to stop me from moving out, but she didn't.

>>280555498 (OP)
God damn, it might be real.
Reiji you son a bitch, you did it again.

"I know we lived together as celibate pseudo-platonic roommates for a month and that I've rejected you for like the 20th time in like 2 and half years during which time I strung out the idea of considering dating you and teased the idea of marriage this time and now as you're about to leave my life completely.... here's a lil something to remember me and my completely unavailable emotionally constipated heart by"

Bravo

@gork is this true

interacting with women makes me wish I was gay

>>280555748
but enough about kazuya

>>280555498 (OP)
Is she the embodiment of the term women moment?

>>280555498 (OP)
Banri also did this to her bf btw

Choriputa a shit

>>280555637
Kind of a goodbye kiss.
When Kazuya is in the taxi ready to go, she enters gives him a kiss, exits, tells the taxi driver to go, doesn't elaborate.

>>280555932
No alien? Dropped

>>280555932
That's just cruel of her, she made sure he'll never be able to move on.

Rukabros what happened? the separation arc?

>>280555977
If Kazuya isn't a moron, he would move on even after the kiss. But Kazuya is a moron.

>>280555498 (OP)
I FUCKING KNEW IT
I knew she was going in for a smooch
I was off by a day it seems (I thought she'd kiss him when they came back from the date after turning him down a dozen times), but I knew it would happen soon

>>280555498 (OP)
>Chizuru gives him a farewell kiss or even cruelly, pulls an ultimate manipulation to milk him to the last drop

>>280556007
He's a simp who needs a firm rejection, instead of
>I love you but I can't be with you
>farewell kiss
Chizuru is a cunt

>>280556013
Anon 2 years later:
>Why isn't this shit manga ending yet

>>280556031
which only means there is a reason she can't be with him, but for whatever reason she won't tell him the reason

>>280556067
maybe she has a dick

>>280555498 (OP)
I was wondering how they're gonna keep interacting after Kazuya moves out, since they're out of reasons. I guess "uohhh, she kissed me again, I still have a shot" is as good a reason as any.

PFFF LMAO YOU KIDDING ,
ME?! Didn't Rukatards start posting about how Ruka was going to get a provisional W arc? that sure as shit ain't happening, Kazuya is just going to be thinking about the kiss now, anyway where the fuck is Mini?

>>280555498 (OP)
anon:
Kazuya will finally move on now
Reiji:

Doomers on suicide watch.

>Kazuya will move on!
>Void arc!
>Ruka arc!
>The whimsical Chizuru:
*smooch*

>>280556101
As he's getting in he basically reaffirms he was serious about waiting for her. So >>280556067 anon is right, she's all but openly admitted she's being stubborn and basically punishing herself for a nebulous reason at this point. I assume the idea is she thinks she has to "succeed" entirely on her own instead of just letting herself be vulnerable and rely on others. Wonder what will finally snap her out of that shit

Rukasisters....

I'm not crying you are crying.

>>280556167
Also this anon is right >>280556087 she might have a dick

What does he even see in her at this point?

Next time don't forget.

Is Ruka even going to believe him or will they have to do this to her again before it sinks in?

Chizuru:
"That's all your stuff?"

Kazuya:
"Yeah."

Kazuya:
"Just some leftovers and clothes!
Even inside the box!"

Chizuru:
"Thanks for cleaning up the room too."

Kazuya:
"I even aired out the futon!"

Chizuru:
"Yeah..."

Kazuya:
"Just kidding—!"

Kazuya (thinking):
Thump!

>>280555498 (OP)
More baggage onto the pile when we inevitably reach chapter 500 and she's still saying she can't date him.

Ah yes, page economy at its finest.

>>280556801
Kazuya:
"Ughhh!! Mizuhara’s so damn strong!!
She’s acting like yesterday didn’t even happen—!"

Chizuru:
(Totally normal state)

Kazuya:
"Isn’t her reaction kind of cold?
Even though I’m moving out and everything..." "Actually, this is kinda making me feel down..." "But it’s not like I’m especially sad or anything."

"Maybe I never really felt any loneliness to begin with..."

"Wait, wait, wait—
I wasn’t hoping for anything, but still—!!"

Kazuya's imagination: "Let’s get married!!"

>>280556825
Kazuya:
"Seriously!?
Is Mizuhara not even a little bit sad!?"

Kazuya (thinking):
"She was with me all day yesterday...
She’s seriously so strong when it comes to loneliness...!!"

Kazuya:
"Damn it!! Idiot, idiot!!"

Kazuya:
"Thinking she might feel the same way just because I like her...
What a moron—!!"

Kazuya (thinking, bottom panel):
"Well... we already talked about everything yesterday...
That’s just how Mizuhara is."

>>280556825
>strong
Normal

>>280556840
[Kazuya, thinking] “This really is the end…”

[Kazuya, thinking, flashback] “Somehow... it was so dazzling and fun…”

[Kazuya, thinking] “With you and Yaemori... the three of us together...”

[Chizuru, silently watching him leave] “......”

>>280555498 (OP)
What if this is deliberately leaked and turns out it's actually just Kazuya's imagination?

>>280556854
[Kazuya, thinking] "Honestly... I'm super lonely..."

[Kazuya, thinking] "From now on... I'm going back to living alone."

[Kazuya, thinking] "Even if I come home... Mizuhara won't be there..."

[Girl at the gate] "Oh—! Thanks!"

[Kazuya] "Ah— Sorry, I didn’t notice. I’ll open it."

>>280556875
[Kazuya, thinking] "It's not like we’ll never see each other again…
I’m sure there will still be chances."

[Kazuya, thinking] "Even if I message her on LINE…
We’ll still be in touch somewhat…"

[Kazuya, thinking] "But... will I be able to bear it?"

[Kazuya, thinking] "In those days..."

[Kazuya, thinking] "No matter how close we’ve become emotionally…
If we don’t see each other, I’ll get anxious."

[Kazuya, thinking] "No matter how much resolve or determination I have...
Time and physical distance still matter a lot."

>>280556896
[Top right panel (Umi's confession flashback)] I’m in love with Chizuru-chan.

[Kazuya, thinking] I don’t even know what happened after that...

[Kazuya] "Hey, um..."

[Kazuya, thinking] "But... there’s something I have to say—"

[Chizuru] "Huh?"

>>280556914
[Kazuya, shouting] "What I told you yesterday—"

[Kazuya] "—wasn’t a lie!"

[Chizuru, silently emotional]

[Kazuya] "That promise I made back then..."

[Kazuya] "Even if it takes 10 years, even if it takes 20—"

[Kazuya] "I’ll keep it!"

>>280556925
[Kazuya, shocked / wide-eyed thinking] (…)

[Kazuya] "Alright!!"

[Kazuya, getting ready to go] "Okay, let’s—let’s do this!!"

Inb4 she actually decided to date Umi, not because she likes him, but for roles, because she is sly like that and he'll dump her ass when he learns she is a rental.

>>280556854
Why is this retard acting like they don't live in the same fucking city.

>>280557036
In the last panel with text, the girl says:

"行ってください" (itte kudasai) — "Please go."

And the person in the car responds:

>>280557048
Chizuru is a busy woman between college, acting classes, renkano work, gig work, acting work she only has a little time for herself and he doesn't want to intrude on it.

The point is he won't be able to count on chance encounters since they aren't neighbors or rental dates because now that he finally made it clear he likes her, so he can't use that venue again. He has to ask her out(as a friend) like a normal person now and she'll have the option to reject him every time.

I get it now. At first I thought Mizuhara and Kazuya should date, because they're both horrible people and deserve each other. But I now I realize that's actually too good for them. What they should do is not date, but also not move on, and just keep circling each other in a non-relationship for all eternity. Just keep making each other miserable forever.

And that's exactly what the story is! This manga will never end, because to end it would be to end the suffering of Mizuhara and Kazuya, and they don't deserve to be released from hell.

>>280555498 (OP)
she needs to fuck him once. and i mean really fucking lay him out. suck his soul out and resurrect him.
if she doesnt do this ill never forgive this fucking author.

>>280557091
It makes sense this time though. Japan has a weird relationship with PDA, Chizuru looks like a top model/super sexy actress and taxi drivers are usually presented as nice chatty people.
Who wouldn't have commented on it?

>>280555498 (OP)
Wow. I hate her even more now.

>>280557164

>>280556825
For you, her rejection was the worst day of your life, but for her, it was Tuesday

>>280557048
He got rejected, it's not like they can keep meeting like nothing happened. Even someone as stupid as Chizuru knows this

>>280555977
she's making him chase her

>>280556925
>10, 20 years at least!

>>280555498 (OP)
>>280556960
>>280557001
>>280557025
Wow,this is kino,a hot kiss.
I know the anti-Chizu fans are salty and crying now.They worked so hard to make her hated and to convince everyone their story was over.

>>280557215
he can just keep renting her though

>>280557164
Deep down she's a rapist: 3 surprise kisses, 1 attempted kiss on wasted Kazuya (sexual harassment) and sneaky sniffing
If they fuck she'll reduce Kazuya's hips into the finest dust that ever existed

>>280557239
Even harder?

>>280557081
she's sending mixed signals

>>280557263
Yeah, it happened during the ghosting wait no, it did not

>>280557284

>>280557286
He'll actually have to put in some effort from now on.

>>280557260
If you celebrate something like this, then seek help. Seriously.

If you enjoy being strung along like that, then i pity you.

>>280557298
he tried and she didn't let him, which probably would happen again now

>>280557322
She'll kiss Umi and her other customers too.
Kazuya awoke a nympho beast

>>280557322
Conceited cunt, it's nice she thinks she has to make no efforts.

>>280557351

>>280557328
yeah, it would be a little awkward right now, but he just needs to wait a little and she'll definitely be back to keep stringing him along

>>280557322
Oh yeah, just try harder bro. Keep trying harder bro. You've been strung along for years and years but just a little more bro. Surely this time will be it. Don't move on to someone who can make up their fucking mind, just keep dumping time and money into her bro.

>>280557430
He shoukd just stop trying.
The kiss is gonna awaike vietcong flashbacks to him.

>>280557323
I feel like even looking at this through the most charitable lens towards Chizuru, it still comes across as stringing him along further. The most common defense of her actions I've seen so far is that she feels guilt over wasting so much of his time and money, and is letting him go for his own good. Like I get that you can justify this kiss by saying it was a lapse of judgment on her part, but now he's never getting over her.

>>280557515
Why would you get over your wife?

>>280555498 (OP)
I have to wonder if releasing the chapter this early was always planned or damage control, but knowing Reiji he 100% had everything planned

>>280557515
I disagree. She tried to let him go for once, but Kazuya refused. What I think happened now is that she realized she was going to lose him and that pushed her to take the final step. She won't string him along anymore, this is real

>>280557081
> Kanokari - Prologue End

>>280557650
He's done this kind of thing so many times already. It's always darkest before the dawn.

This bitch sure likes to keep him on the hook doesn’t she?

Who's a worse protagonist? Kazuya or Tada Banri?

>>280557682
You think this is her backpedaling out of her rejection, then? Somehow I doubt they're actually gonna be dating after this.

>>280557752
trust the plan, but unironically

>>280557706
It's the quickness of it that's weird, but maybe he planned for it to be this quick

>>280557752
Yes and no? The idiot took Kazuya's confession as a marriage proposal, but it wasn't. This is her wanting to start a relationship in a somewhat normal way

>>280557682
Then why did she tell the taxi to leave?

>>280557796
Because she's embarrassed?

>>280557775
Yeah I was expecting to wait at least a few more chapters, but if you look at all of the big downer moments he never leaves us hanging for too long before the tun around.

>>280557796
He has movers waiting for him that he has to deal with in some way no matter what.

>>280557855
I honestly expected few chapters of nothing after a goodbye that implied things from Chizuru. But Reiji did spend the previous chapters telling readers explicitly that he knew what was happening (like Kazuya repeating "it's as if nothing happened), so he probably planned this quick turnaround as well

>>280557796
She planted a GPS locator in Kazuya's stuff so she can get to know where he's going to live. All this to surprise rape him during the night. So the sooner he left the the better

La Puta

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY ENDLESS SLOP

>>280557162
Hahahaha

>>280557775
>It's the quickness of it that's weird
absolutely false, it's always like this, it's Reiji falling back on his usual pattern to keep the status quo indefinitely.
Kazuya does something brash , Chizuru disapproves, Kazuya gets depressed and it looks he'll give up, she swoops in and brigs him back.

It always was this, it will never change, she will not do the chasing, because that is not the character people fell in love with, when Chizuru capitulates the manga ends, so she can't accept him no matter what.

SOMETHING HAPPENED

>>280558010
She did just chase him into a taxi.

>>280558010
It took 8 chapter for a turnaround this being in Paradise: from 218 to 226.
This time it was 5 chapters: from 380 to 385
>she will not do the chasing
Yeah, she's more of a mouth rapist, like Ruka but more effective

>>280557288
She gotta make sure he's still spending money for her.

>>280558011
Anon, this is the classic Reiji. People rightfully give him crap for all the stalling and filler, but he ALWAYS delivers at the end. There's a reason the manga kept being popular for so long

>sokke proposing to erika
based based based

>>280557515
The fact the sub, a place where, if this shit actually happened at the end of the movie arc or was the hawaiians end they would celebrate and bekng obnoxious, is reacting in a cynical and jaded way about the kiss, speaks a lot.
Nips in 5ch aren't celebrating, but looking with concern and disapproval Chizuru's final action.
This speaks a lot about how much can a person tolerate some actions just for the sake of seeing a ship happen (or irl, to get a girl), and seems this was the line that should've not been crossed.

You know which moment this scene reminds me to?? All those moments where Hina took advantage of a vulnerable (or unconscious/wasted) Natsuo in Domekano, even when he was on a relationship with Rui, she sneakily tried to claim property, but when he was awake, she only treated him as her otouto.

>>280558082
I mean she won't do the chasing because she doesn't need to, she won't let a situation in which she needs to do the chasing exists in the first place. She is playing him like a fiddle and I guess she gets a kick out of it.

>>280555498 (OP)
and just like that, Reiji secured himself another 100 chapters, at minimum

>>280557682
This felt like a severance kiss, although the sub-captions after the end captions want to imply it wasn't and it's the beginning of "the newest and most exciting chapter".

>>280558119
You lost

>>280558126
See >>280558067

>>280558119
Sorry anon, sometimes you won chapter 380, but this time you lost harder than Umi, Ruka and Mami combined

Remember Blood on the Tracks "prologue" lasted 13 volumes, then the "true story" (AKA Seiichi having his reckoning with his demented mom until her death and him losing the ability to socialize and be functional) that began at vol. 14 lasted only... 4 volumes.

>>280558171
I would like a serving of 50 chapters of them fucking like rabbits in heat only for Kazuya to end up being capitalized for dehydration and broken hips

>>280557729
Add Part 2 Denji, Reiji (bitch was a useless depressed mess and when he got initiative, it was to become a schizo murderer), and Karami Zakari bitch

I guess she'll do it next chapter? This isn't "mixed signals", this is a clear "I want to have your babies"

>>280557328
He didn’t even try to fight for her and telling a girl that’s life after a rejection is the worst thing you can do

>>280558259
If Kazuya gets careless and too cocky with the kiss... which obviously will happen.

Genuine question, how do you keep reading this? Do you enjoy unsatisfying romances where the heroine is a hoe who strings the mc along for near 400 chapters to only get a kiss that's likely bait? There is a million other good romance manga, far more genuine, wholesome and cute then this. Why would you keep reading this? Is it sunk cost? Do you like soaps that much? I think he draws some nice panels but even the art isnt enough for me to understand to keep reading. Do you just like watching kazuya be a beta cuck loser and chizuru be a manipulative bitch ass hoe?

The movie arc was great, there are more plot points than just "will they won't they" and the characters are interesting. The filler sucks, but not enough to drop the manga.
It's still popular for a reason anon

>>280558281
Genuine answer I think this is the best manga.

>>280558268
>This isn't "mixed signals", this is a clear "I want to have your babies"
>3 childlike pecks on the lips, just like those 2 from hawaiians.
>then tell "itte kudasai" to the Cab driver without telling Kazuya why she did that.
It was more of a "we won't see each other anymore" sayonara kiss.

>>280558286
She was forced to kiss him, this time the only thing she forced her is her vagina, which is far more intelligent than her

>>280558298
>terrace finishing
sure it is, it's not like every chapter since the last trip didn't do the "I totally will tell which girl I like for real for real this time" shtick

(You fucking lost anon, accept it)

>>280558304

>7 page kiss
That’s not a peck they were going to fucking town. Pun intended.

>>280558277
>He didn’t even try to fight for her
She doesn't let him tho. Kazuya also has the "wrong" concept about Chizuru and thinks he has to waste harder, simp harder and be someone he isn't to get her.
>and telling a girl that’s life after a rejection is the worst thing you can do
In hindsight, and if you remove the cringey faces, it was a mature reaction from his. If you try to fight harder like some emasculated manginas want to make us believe, you'll never get the results you wanted.
Ironically, Kazuya got the kiss because he did the ONLY SENSIBLE THING he did during all the cohab and series... basically not trying anymore, accept the results and simply let shit happen.

What does this tell us? If you are in love... JUST KEEP YOURSELF IN FUCKING CHECK AND DO LESS THAN THE BARE MINIMUM TO MAKE GIRLS WET!! DON'T BEHAVE LIKE BEING IN A FUCKING NEKKETSU.

>>280558383
See the lips shape when she parted her lips from his. If it was a deep kiss, she should have had her lips open and wantkng to breathe.
Reiji likes to drag the watershed moments.

>>280558430
They both have their lips open

Reiji's mom scolded him, hence why the kiss happened.

>>280558466
Barely tho. Compare that to the kisses Ruka gives or that one Mami gave.
It looks awkward and childish in comparison

>>280557729

at least Kazuya does some funny cringe shit, Watari just spends 90% of his manga with the same empty slack-jawed expression

Public execution for heelschizo and Rukafags now, I don't want to hear a peep out of you rats anymore

>>280558348
Okay, masochist.
Enjoy the mental torture.

Ok....ok HANG ON, I just had a massive fucking think, that "void" look on Kazuya's face? that's not because Chizuru is cutting off contact with him, that's because Kazuya is steeling himself to break up with Ruka and that scolding he's meant to be getting from his mom? that's because he's going to come clean

>>280558551
(me) I should clarify I'm referring to the Ruka selfie

>>280558532
You should be celebrating, but now here you are, seething at imaginary people.
I understand, being mentally tortured with mixed signals becomes tiresome once you find it's not funny anymore.

Goodbye kiss most likely.

>>280558551
I think you're overthinking it and the Ruka project is something separate and not a hint of things to come.

Hiro and Ami are gonna avenge Ruka.

Don't let the zurumasochist hear you. He's "celebrating" something that can only be depicted as bleak and grim.

She is preparing herself to say goodbye to her virginity.

>Chizuru didn't go to the bank

really good way to end this arc

>The separation arc is actually about Ruka and Kazuya separating

>>280558669
>can't date you 'right now'
>kiss before sending him off
She doesn't wanna date him but also doesn't want him to stop chasing her. It's some disgustingly manipulative behavior, whether she realizes it or not and makes me feel sorry for Kazuya.

>>280558707
She wants him to break up with Ruka.
And not a half assed I tried this time.

>>280558503
>Watari-kun
atleast he made the right choice in the end

>>280558731
Where the fuck did you see any indication of that anon.

>>280558654
>>Chizuru didn't go to the bank
She must probably did, it just wasn't related to Kazuya, whoever thought she'll give him his money back was a retard.
>>Chizuru didn't blacklist him
As far as we know, can still happen.

>>280558759
She’s about to blacklist everyone when she quits her job.

>>280558707
>It's some disgustingly manipulative behavior
Or....or maybe? JUST maybe Chizuru is still trying to figure out what she wants to do? like, she said she loves him already but steeled herself to rejecting him because she thought that was for the best but now she's second guessing herself

>>280557050
>>280557036
>>280557025
>>280557001
>>280556990
Is she kissing him for that long or are we just seeing a quick peck from 100 angles?

>>280558790
Him waiting anyway completely ruins the point of the rejection so it makes sense for her to change her mind here.

>>280558790
I did say "whether she realizes it or not". Either way this guy is strung along with her whims. The rejection is already done, but he's still being dragged. Won't date him, won't let him leave, everything just revolving around what she wants while the dude is emotionally forced into standby.

>>280558759
>As far as we know, can still happen.
lmao no, you don't spend 7 pages on a kiss and then start blacklist drama, Chizuru knew what she was doing

>>280555498 (OP)
I KNEW THERE WOULD BE A GOODBYE KISSU HAHAHAHAHA

>>280558790
Oh boo-hoo, woe is her, she might be emotionally tormeting a guy, but the artist drew her having a sad face, so if you really think about it, she's the victim having to feel unsure about herself a bit.

>>280558826
>The rejection is already done,
Clearly not.
>Won't date him
Yet.
>Won't leave him
Why would she? she already said she loves him and Kazuya's words are breaking through her stubbornness.
>while the dude is emotionally forced into standby.
What Kazuya needs to do now is fight properly, breakup with Ruka, confront Mami and be honest with his family.

>>280558326
And then she was blushing like a lovestruck schoolgirl when she thought about the kiss

>>280558863
Yes Aqua, now shut your mouth and wiggle your butt.

>>280555498 (OP)
Why didn’t he just ask for a quick blowie before hitting the road? I’m sure she would accept, fucking slut.

She told him no. There is nothing to fight for.

When that simp mentality kicks in huh.

>>280558731
>She wants him to break up with Ruka
Bruh, he's the one with that stubborn determination of breaking things. Chizuru instead pushed him to date her.

Ruka account uploaded this. This seems more like her funeral more than her bday with each day passing.

>>280558942
Now that it’s undeniable that he lost he will probably get bored soon, but it’s pretty pathetic how he is still trying.

>>280558942
>rejects the guy

Yeah, basic media literacy says it's a goodbye. What's that to do with your cope?

>>280558888
>it's over for nagi?
It never began to begin with. Sachi won.

>>280558963
Forgot the pic, but you do know the game.
Seems it's simply chibi versions of her milestones... pretty funeral-ish.

>>280559018
She’s pretty cute, she is going to make the nerd in glasses a very happy man.

>>280558888
The spoilers don't mention her answer, so I guess not, but Miki won't probably show it for a while and make it a surprise 100 chapters later.
That being said I can imagine an outcome where Sokke gets Erika and Nagi becomes the hotel heir and they compete who will be the King of the hotels. As things are I don't see him getting with neither girl.

>>280558933
I dont give a shit about your retarded reddit shipping wars. If this author has any shred of self-awareness Kazuya will get disillusioned with the entire escort business, realize that he doesn't have to take being a backup, that idealistic "wait for me for 10 years" relationships don't always work out and will get a grip, sort out of his life and find somebody who is ready to compromise on a life together with him.

>>280558264

Holy shit, that was their last cope. 2 months ago they were certain she'd get a solo end. Now she's not even getting the main end, just a side route.

>>280559043
>she is going to make the nerd in glasses a very happy man.
She's gonna become everything people accuse Chizuru from being.
Ruka won't recover from the emotional scars finding the truth will give to her and will embrace her nature as a heartbeatless, emotionless whore.

>>280558011
With Reiji the problem is "when", not "if". He's not Aka

I always imagined even if they fuck they wouldn’t get together, it’s just an excuse for Chizuru to get dick from a boy she’s really close to but she can’t commit cause she still needs to manipulate other bozos for money, only this time she’s hiding a real boytoy.

>>280558735
>he made the right choice in the end
It was rigged since the beginning. Watari hated Satsuki at first because she was an.absolute and irredeemable stalking creep.

>>280559149
At least she wasn't an emotionally manipulative menhera.

>>280558953
Nah this shit is just so painfully obvious like she literally said she loves him and then gave a bunch of nonsense as to why she had to reject him but then the piggyback happened and those "no's" she kept muttering where more positive than a rejection and even then, she was already regretting rejecting him and then this chapter happened, with Kazuya doubling down on his feelings for her then she kissed him because he finally broke through her stubbornness.
>>280558992
Eh, whatever Chizuru intended with that kiss is meaningless, the gesture itself lasting for 7 pages is telling enough, Kazuya won't give up on her and will keep breaking her stubbornness

>>280559051
>As things are I don't see him getting with neither girl.
Hiro said she was gonna change his destiny. That's literally a codename for "wait 'till graduation".
If not, then there's Sachi. She rejected that Taiki clone for her "onii".

>>280559149
>Watari hated Satsuki at first because she was an.absolute and irredeemable stalking creep.
Nope, he never hated her, he was just frustrated that she left him as a kid without telling him anything

>>280559055
Chizuru and Kazuya will end up together, that's the ending, take it or leave it.

>>280559181
>he was just frustrated that she left him as a kid without telling him anything
You can tell he resented her for that, because he acted like an asshole over that fact

>>280559199
Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself.

>>280558882
>Can you kiss my cock too?
I understand now. The whole time she wanted to get asked to do something, Cuckzuya was too busy white knighting and smothering her with gentlemenliness while she didn’t give a fuck about none of that. She just wanted consent to pounce on him. Remember, it never hurts to just ask!

>>280559242
This isn't rocket science my guy, I don't need to convince myself of anything, this story was never that complicated or clever.

>>280559160
>Kazuya won't give up on her and will keep breaking her stubbornness
He shouldn't have to. That shit's not healthy. No amount of framing will make me root for a relationship like that.

>>280559288
Hundreds of chapters and her answer was no. It is indeed very simple.

>>280559160
>Kazuya won't give up on her and will keep breaking her stubbornness
He'll pull a grandiose do or die emotional manipulation moment, just like those old shits this manga keeps romanticizing their emotional manipulation
>Masseuse accepted her husband simply because he was gonna sudoku himself
>Katsuhito basically was self destructing himself with his obsession with rocks.

If he proposes a shinjuu during an emotional low Chizuru gets into because of toxic working environment (don't have to explain what does that mean), then he has it on the bag, unironically speaking. He just needs to be more self destructive and obsessed. It's obvious what turns emotionally stunted bitches on is when their boytoys do something that would end with them logging out from life, it awakes their maternal instincts.

>>280555498 (OP)
>5000 chapters of nothing but then a kiss that implies that maybe... there could be a chance? Better read the next 500 chapters to find out!
The real cucks being strung along here are the readers. You really are the easiest cattle to herd.

>her answer was no. It is indeed very simple.
Except it wasn't no, it was a very halfhearted no that didn't last longer than two chapters

Never said it was, but that's what's happening

>>280559393
Do not make fun of us kanokari fans. We are powerful and numerous, you will regret it.

It’s simple, she got tired of the “nice guy” bullcrap and just wanted to him to make a move. He had a potential homerun but he colossally fucked up cause he’s Kazuya so she only gave him first base.

>Realistically, what would you do if this happened to you?
It wouldn’t, I would’ve laid pipe last night and have gone on my merry way. Then take the side bitch out for a couple hours and do the same thing to her then.

Ohhhh I get it, shitposters really wanted another humiliation ritual but instesd Reji outplayed them and now all they can do is whine because their fanfictions didn't become true

>She can't date him, but doesn't want him to move on
>She doesn't like him, but hates him when he's being nice to other people

>No it's this because I said so!

>>280559457
What an idiot and a speedreader, Kazuya won't make a move because she won't allow him and he fucking knows that.

The only shit he has to say when she finally gets enough and questions him on why he never holds her or makes a move is that he is only following her ToS. Still agree he is too fearless and persistent for grandiose displays, but a total sissy for displays of affection, but that's explained by Chizuru not allowing him.

As i said before, Kazuya will never channel his self destructive impulses and his obstination into simpler yet braver and more consistent actions until he gets the most obvious verbal green light. This is not about the man trying harder or going death seeking levels of self abandonment, but about the woman having to (begrudginhly) lower the game difficult so he can get the hint.

It happened like that in Maison Ikkoku. Mixed signals and physical display of affection didn't work, so only talking things through and the woman having to hard swallow her pride and (kinda, in her own way) begging MC to hold her did the magic.

>>280559829

>>280559755
Kazuya’s only mistake is finding a girl that’s making it as hard as possible for him, I’ll give you that.
The point is he needs to start instructing her to do things for him, cause she’ll very likely obey.

>>280559817
What the fuck are you talking about.

>>280559649
Kuzuya won't get the hint, give it up, the pattern will be repeated ad nauseam until Reiji gets the notification to wrap things up already.
Therefore, he'll relentlessly keep self destructing and missing the point until he gets questioned on why, this the point of their dynamic, the cycle no one will break until Chizuru brings the topic to the table and only will stop when Kazuya gets questioned on why he alwaya acts like that. The LA end comprises said dynamic in the climax quite well, Reiji Miyajima wrote the last ep. script after all.
>Chizuru questions Kazuya on his white knight and recklessly relentless and stubborn money wasting behavior after he saves her from the roofie customer.
>Kazuya says a grandiose Naruto-tier speech, basically saying "stfu bitch, i'll keep burning my life and savings away until you accept me, whether you like me or not" (iirc, in the LA, Kazuya said something like if having a girlfriend like you means i have to spend twice or thrice the money i soent, then i'll do it.
>Chizuru sees how far he is willing to go, ends hugging him.

Until someone makes the effort to speak its mind about each other's behavior pattern, this shit will keep going. Why? Because Kazuya is an idiot.

>>280559955
A rejection is an action. It is a social contract in which a party makes clear that they do not consent to the advances of the other party.
>yeah but she used words to do that
How fucking retarded do you have to be to argue the semantics on that, what other way is a rejection actionable. Should she have a fucking notarized note ready? Saying you reject somebody IS the rejection and she rejected him, no matter how much you don't want to accept that.

>>280559832
I'll argue his interest in F-cup was always shallow because they weren't even dating properly, it was "trial" dating after all

Don't mind me just watching the meltdown.

>>280560013
Honestly it felt like she was always manipulating him and that if things kept going her way he'd never be able to escape.

>>280560013
F-cup ended stepping out by her own iirc.
I dropped Watari when the class gave Nao the silent treatment because of either him being an indecisive ass or having crossed a line in his jerkassery towards Satsuki, don't remember well, but only came back when him and Satsuki had that fade-to-black sex scene.
Need a tl;dr over how he came to terms with his feelings because what i see is Nao resenting, even having some sort of hatred towards Satsuki because of that childhood incident.

>>280560012
He doesn’t need a rejection to dictate how he feels. That’s why the “no” means nothing. That’s what Kazuya doesn’t understand, asking permission to “love” someone is nonsensical. His advances never got rejected because he never made any.

>>280560087
>“no” means nothing
I guess the moral of the story is that "no's" aren't real and you shouldn't take them for an answer and keep pushing. Those restraining orders can't stop you.

>>280560184
Sorry, meant for >>280560149

>>280556133
But him keeping his fruitless chase is the doom scenario anon.

>>280560087
Fcup-chan was trying to rush things, but her mom intervened when the condoms fell out. Iirc the gist of it was if he is interested in her enough to not have sex with her. Satsuki was kind of the opposite offering no strings attached sex. It culminated with him rejecting both. That lead to his class treating him like a piece of shit, he was. He only made up his mind after a talk with a friend of yours father that works at a hostess club, but it was too late because Satsuki moved out already.

>>280555498 (OP)
Is this their first kiss?

>>280560184
You’re being purposely dense. He got rejected on a non-question. Simply, there’s no action he asked that he got refused on.

>>280560265
I think it was very clear what the rejection was about.

>>280560055
>things kept going her way he'd never be able to escape.
Wasn't she literally trying to baby trap him with those thin condoms?

>>280560255

2nd paradise

>>280560287
In Kazuya’s head yes because he is the more mature one. Chizuru never wanted him to give up though.

>>280560053
kek same

>>280559923
That’s how real life can be, one dude confesses but gets friendzoned but the girl still talks to him. Then they are just “friends” til she hangs around with other guys and either he leaves her for good or he becomes a walking cuckold.

>>280560149
>That’s what Kazuya doesn’t understand, asking permission to “love” someone is nonsensical
He'll never understand it, neither have the heart to do something he'll consider inmoral unless Mini tells him he also needs to be a sneaky ass.

We'll have either a reckoning ("why are you like this?" "Because it's the only way to show how much i love you and you won't stop me" "*sigh*, what a pain in the ass, why don't you just hold me and stop acting like an arrogant braggar?") or a "finally final i swear in front of Miura, Toriyama and Tezuka graves this is the final one" symbolic rental date where Kazuya 1. doesnt overspend and just asks for an hour, by the end he crosses the line and kisses her, he panics bc he thinks she'll hate him for what he did, but Chizuru tells him he's finally behaving like a man, although x years late from what she was expected from him, and announces she's leaving Diamond, telling him to start packing things and move back to her house, she won't let him waste his money in the flat he's living.
Kanokari becomes a "she can fix me, no, i can fix her, no, we'll have to fix each other and ourselves" type of story.

>>280560184
>I guess the moral of the story is that "no's" aren't real and you shouldn't take them for an answer and keep pushing. Those restraining orders can't stop you.
Bravo, Temach, irl, you'll end arrested, raped by some 3m tall niggas inside your cell, mob cancelled and with a restraining order if you cross the line.

At least Chorizo will fuck off finally and we either get Mami or Ruka appearing next

The 10 year time skip showing he was in fact waiting that long is more probable then other girls getting screentime, especially after the kiss.

>>280555498 (OP)
Yep we're getting at least 200 more chapters of this slop.

>>280560665
A bitter 8th anniversary. Just check the top tweets, nips were just telling him to just end it already. Guess they, as the hiveminded "gotta keep muh collective harmony untouched" migajeros they are, they'll accept the latest breadcrumb Reiji threw at them.

It seems like there are always far more simpleton cattles than our wildest expectations. It really surprises me that there are actual FANS of this OnlyFans: the manga

>>280560665
Masterful timing by sensei.

>>280560487
It’s clear they are boyfriend and girlfriend, only she doesn’t know where to begin on how to break “rental” and he’s too scared to start working it out with her. And the author will milk this unresolved sexual tension for another 100 chapters.

That's unironically evil. Intention doesn't matter.

If I hated women and roastoids I'd read into this as Chizuru securing an orbiter for whenever she needs him. After her acting career fizzles out she'll settle for him. She has terrible tastes since Kazuya will be broke by then. Stringing him along is mean.

>>280560589
>Mami
lol
>Ruka
FUCKING KEK, DID THIS CHAPTER SERIOUSLY NOT TIP YOU OFF?

I don't think Mini will actually like this development. She seems like a snek sometimes.

>>280561029
>Chizuru has terrible taste in men
We know this, she laughs at anything the retard does among other things, she just loves goofballs like her granddad.

>>280561029
>Stringing him along is mean.
oy vey that's toxic masculinity! always believe women moid, I mean bro

>>280561077
I wouldn't be surprised if she throws a hail mary kiss at Kazuya.

>>280560902
Until no one officializes anything, they're strangers.
The kiss felt like an "i loved you" in past tense.

As someone that hasn't seen a single chapter or episode and only know about this through osmosis, is this MCs first kiss after hundreds of chapters?

>>280561277
4th from this one girl.
7 total from all girls.

>>280561029
Oh no, this is much worse, she doesn't even register any wrongdoing. You will actually find anons in this thread defending her actions because she just "doesn't understand herself yet" and "feels conflicted".

>>280561322
Oh, this doesn't seem like a big deal then.

>>280561432
This is the first one that really counts.

>>280561432
>doesn’t seem like a big deal
It kinda is but not really cause the author decides to do nothing with these kisses. Last one was chapter 226 and she ignored him for 3 months after lmao.

>>280561388
I didn't know Kazuya posted on 4channel

>>280561523
Can't wait for the next kiss that totally counts for real this time in 400 chapters. I am sure it will not be followed by a reset to status quo that time.

You lost bro get over it

>>280561322
>4th from this one girl
Actually 3rd
1st doesn't count bc it was RCP.

Ok, are we done pretending any of the other girls have any chance of winning now?

Zurumasochist feels too high on his horse he forgot one important shit... series isn't ending, so the kiss may mean both a farewell kiss and an "undoing the hawaiians curse" type of action.

The context of this happening is Chizuru getting sick of Kazuya's stubborness for waiting 10 years at least.

>>280561769
None of them should be winning. Kazuya should break free.

>>280561877
>series isn't ending,
In other news, water is wet, this isn't some grand revelation, people knew either way this shit was getting dragged out.

>>280561922
There is not a single good character in this series and I hope they all end up losing.

>>280555498 (OP)
This is her reward, not Kazuya’s. She wanted this since ch377 but blueballed herself as to not appear like a slut.

No but seriously where did all the posters gloating about Ruka's "victory" go? was it really just cheap shitposting?

>>280562112
If she gets hospitalized, she won until Chizuru decides she has to claim her property.
Chizuru is doing what Mami did in Shinoda. So the natural course is that she's gonna call him but he'll ignore her call because he'll be in another peril (either Mami wanting to go back or hsving to take care of a weakened Ruka, basically something that triggers his self destructive heroism).

Ruka will shit and piss everywhere

>>280561769
Nobody ever pretended they had any chance except the marketing department. Reiji was explicitly about it even in interviews

>>280557025
What did driver-san think?

>>280560665

You just know that author was planning to postpone that kiss until 500 but something went terrbily wrong

>>280562610
That thing is a dog? Did Araki draw it for him or what?

>>280562430
Yeah, as clear as the bitch who said her misery porn magnus opus had one heroine in the interviews, yet she acted on twitter as if the hag and the faggot were better heroines and had more chances with the MC too.
If something, Hacka and Mengo taught me authors are massive liars and edgelords.

Reiji's padding in a nutshell.

>>280558119
The sub are clowns, trying to defend the dumbass protagonist, thinking the girl doesn’t deserve him. The kiss was to let him know to shut the fuck up and start asking for what he really wants already.

>>280562823
>for what he really wants
Pussy. Kazuya will hit it and quit it.

>>280562852
I don’t mind both the dumbasses hitting and quitting. They are way, way better off seeing other people but at least they can stop blueballing each other.

>>280557081
STOP THE FUCKING CAB YOU RETARD.

He won't. Kazuya is that much of a pussy.

>>280557025

Ngl that’s a kino kiss

B-but the condoms… he still has the condoms…

So now what? Is he finally going to conclude that kissing her is okay from now on? Or is he still gonna have these delusions of cat eyes Chizuru being vehemently disgusted?

>>280563115
The latter and you know it. Next chapter will open with him breakdancing at his new flat.

>>280563115

KINOKARI IS BACK

>>280562823
>The kiss was to let him know to shut the fuck up and start asking for what he really wants already.
It means nothing.
Kazuya won't understand it until she tells him.
Either you are too redpilled or you think he'll magically get it. This manga is Maison Ikkoku-pilled, so it's obvious he won't get the gist of any of the actions until she spells it to him.

>>280562529
same thing every other mob character does:
damn she's hot, you sure are lucky

>>280563115
>Mizuhara kissed me! So is she okay with kissing? What happens if I go further…

>>280563206

And she won’t do that because spoonfeeding him wouldn’t be hot to her.

>>280563379
>And she won’t do that because spoonfeeding him wouldn’t be hot to her.
Still she'll eventually get fed up with him not doing anything. Eventually she'll have to spell it as an ultimatum.
Actions on their own mean shit when they don't have a vocalized reason, same as words, they're shallow when they don't have an action that carries them. That's why the Rumiko formula has worked for longrunning romances. It guarantees shit without compromising anything.

>>280557790
This is her making sure there's a fallback plan.

Then the kiss means "So long! Abayo! Sayonara! Bye bye! Never let me see your face anymore!"

>>280563666
All her trash is trash.

>>280563586
Cope and seethe you retard

>>280563476
So? She’s used to multiple men confessing and she’s tired of the same old bullshit. She already trusts his love way past that point so the confession was worthless. He needed to activate the next step and ask for a favor, possibly sexual.

>>280563586

>>280563879
based

>>280563805
He won't. That's the joke.

>>280563666
Well it should be plainly obvious that her lips are fair game, it’s all up to him now how to proceed with this information.

>>280563770
Yeah, you're right. She said no, and then she kissed him after saying no. She made herself very clear. No means NO.

>>280564037
He'll get confused and will agonize like always. He won't get a certainity unless Chizuru tells him "Fuck the ToS and hold me! Geez, you're exhasperating".

Okay, i'll bite your bait. If by some miracle Kazuya reaches a conclusion by his own (or convinced by Mini) and attempts some physical display of affection, then Chizuru will bitchslap him or place a restraining order all over his ass for being too cheeky, even if that's what Chizuru wanted, no? For him to channel his self destructive impulses and stubborn heroism into something simpler and less heroic, but actually definitive.

>>280563795
>>280563879
We’ve been through something like this a thousand times already. This is a good bye kiss not an invitation to start making babies with her. We’ll be back again with this until she dumps him again for real with Umi by her side because she likely kissed him as well like this.

Mami won

I just want to see this end with Kazuya as a succesful movie producer in a loveless marriage with Mami while Chizuru does shitty indie movies.

How are people still reading this trash?

>>280564312
I doubt Mami will marry him after she has her revenge. We know she doesn't love him.

>>280564265
>Umi

>>280564360
Yeah but she's burned so many bridges that she'll crawl back to him. I want everyone to be miserable in the end.

>>280564265
Imagining Umi's kisses makes your little peepee feel weird, right anon?

>>280564347
At this point? I'm in it to watch Rukafags and the Umischizo/heelschizo seethe

>>280564380
U think so?
Explain then why she stuttered when she heard Umi was available? That reaction isn't the one someone who doesn't romantically see the alluded person.

>>280564347
Reiji is a master of always almost going to far but never ever jumping the shark plus the carrot and stick approach. You will read a fuckton of shitty stalling and almost drop it only for him to write genuinely amazing arcs connecting past events that seemed unimportant and delivering on every previous promise

>>280564360

Chizuru pushed her to admit the opposite.

>>280564510
>why she stuttered when she heard Umi was available?
Where? And Umi directly told her he was available and: she gave him the middle finger the first time and the 2nd and 3rd time he run away like a bitch before she could reject him. "BuT wHY diDn'T shE ReJeCt hIM oN LINE oR siMiLar!?1?!111" Because he asked for more time and she prioritize respecting other people feelings as much as possible

>>280564531
Nah we all know the pacing went to shit after Hawaiians. Shit used to go down in this manga: four girlfriends in the Kazubowl, the struggle for the movie, Chizu’s grandma dying, even in the Hawaiians the tension of their lies on the brink of being exposed. Now it really is all sunk cost.

She got rid of the simp so Umi can move in with her. Expect a reckoning and a grim reminder soon.

>>280564874

But enough about Reiji and his 300+ chapter manga where nothing ever happens

>>280564873
Yes and no. Cohabitation sucked ass, but few highlights kept things bearable and then the date started

You still lost

>>280564763
She never rejected him.
Until she says "i can't date you, i love someone", you aren't allowed to claim victory. And no amount of kuuki yomi or "read between the lines" shit will convince me to think otherwise.

Chizuru's breath smells like old men cum

>>280564947
Mami doesn't mean it and even if she does her feelings are not love.

UmiCHAD and HEROfumi YoshidALPHA already won.
SCVMzuya and INCELji lost. Deal with it.

>>280564974
I dunno I liked the cohab chapters more than paradise

>>280565138
Same as Akane's and Nagi's.
Ruka, Kana and Sensei were the right choices, at least their breath will smell like your cum.

>>280564238
She doesn’t want him to break a restraining order in order to prove himself. The point is she doesn’t know what she wants, cause she’s been conditioned that her desires are wrong. I understand in this sort of dynamic she should be the one to make the move first, but she’s literally too idiotic to see that it’s okay. It really is the density of both of the characters holding them back.

>>280564510
She's shot down umi more than kazuya

>>280565274
she just made her move, the ball has left her court

>>280565114

>>280565359

You're getting too ahead of yourself, just keep reading.

>>280565425
If her asking the boyfriend out on a date after seeing beret-cuck off isn’t rejecting him, I don’t know what is.

>>280565546
It was her trying to find an answer to her investigation.
She wanted to see if she felt something, but nothing happened. Same as the kiss.

>>280559829
She ia projecting
Remember her Kaori chan chapter on Sumi manga?

>>280565629
Except later that day her womb got hit with shockwaves without Kazuya even trying.

>>280565712
>Boohooooooo everybody except KuzuChori and maybe sumi are baddie bad.
Bruh, everybody here are pieces of shit.
Mami is right, but for wrong reasons, and Chorizo told Mami she was obsessed with Kazuya.

>>280565425
He's lost and so have you, this desperate clinging to an NTR bait character that Reji has given nothing but humiliation is pathetic

>>280565230
Me too

>>280565777
>shockwaves
Lmaoooooooo. It was her feeling more guilty for leading not only Kazuya, but her family on as well.
Stop defending a whore known for her wrong decisions.

>>280565799
Talking as if the manga already ended... what a pitiful existence, seriously.

So let's see, weeks of dumb speculation about how Chizuru is going to go to bank, give Kazuya his money back, blacklist him, seperation arc, depressed Kazuya, Ruka "winning" all of it, all of that braindead posting? It just lead to Chizuru kissing Kazuya, fucking lmao, you people need to stop trying so hard, you aren't gonna outwit Reji.

Anyway, in case it wasn't clear before, it's clear now:
Ruka won't win
Mini won't win.
Mami won't win.
Sumi is off slobbing shota cock so she was never in the race anyway.
Even if Kazuya agrees to more dates with Ruka after this because he's still not quite ready to breakup with Ruka it's going to be clear that Chizuru will be on his mind and I see our local monkey heelschizo is starting their usual delusional fanfiction about Umi, give it up.

>>280565939
Goodbye kissu was on my predict list though. The title spread on 383 was set up exactly like how paradise arc did it.

>>280565939
Right and another thing actually, the very idea of a "seperation" arc is completely comical now, like do people expect Kazuya to be depressed during this period if it does happen? No, if it anything, two things will happen:
1. Kazuya will continue to dream about Chizuru, cat eyed Chizuru will show up
2.Kazuya will have some time to clear his thoughts and maybe just maybe work up the courage to break up with Ruka and tell Mami to fuck off but I'm not holding my breath, we still got plenty of milking left in this manga until Reji says otherwise.

Is this the thread #38 or #39 since 380 happening?

>>280566015
>Goodbye kissu was on my predict list though.
And that "goodbye" part isn't going to hold up in the narrative since they'll be seeing each other again soon, that I have no doubt.

This pathetic nigger is STILL calling her Mizuhara. How is this acceptable

>>280565871
I don't need to wait for the end of the manga to know that a character that only exists on the radar of cringe NTRfags has no chance of winning you worthless troglodyte.

>>280566015
>Goodbye kissu was on my predict list though
Sure anon, whatever you say

Notice how when posters point out the blacklisting didn't happen we suddenly get more posts gloating about the "goodbye" kiss, I'm really noticing.

Ruka won't *cope noises*
Mini won't *cope noises*

Sumi is off doing some headcanon stuff in my head that isn’t canon.
Even if Kazuya agrees to more dates with Ruka after this because he's still not quite ready to breakup with Ruka it's going to be clear that Chizuru will be *mentally ill delusion that won’t accept the possibility of different girls winning over his favorite ship*, give it up.

>>280566372
So no actual counter then Rukatard? Just barking like Ruka eh?

It was like a JAV kiss. That is the only difference with the farewell kiss from Latias.

Can Makima still win?

>>280566516
Sure you did anon.

>>280566403
The only counter is the simp crawling back to Ruka because Mizuhara won’t even let the love of her life to stay with her any longer. Your reddit claims have been proven wrong again and again. Sorry but it’s over.

>>280566613
>reddit claims
I didn't make any claims, I only sat back laughing at dumb shit like Ruka suddenly getting wins, Chizuru blacklisting Kazuya and giving him his money back.
>Sorry but it’s over.
Yea, for retards like you that still don't get it, even when Reji just makes it super obvious.

>>280566344
Nobody asked.

Ruka will ALWAYS play second fiddle to Chizuru no matter what Chizuru does, even if Chizuru doesn't say "I love you" to Kazuya directly then Kazuya will still simp for her, he said as much this chapter, 10 years atleast, if you Rukafags had any respect for Ruka as a character and she wasn't just a tool for you to shitpost with then you would WANT her to escape this relationship with Kazuya.

>>280566358
The troll made a brand new one right after that and it died too.

>>280566344
Thank you

Simply because they're faking it in front of them. The actual truth is that they treat each other as filthy aka no tanin (Rental last name & Hey!/You!)

>>280566270
Unpopular take
Umi should have been the mc helping Chorizo with her rental service and Kazuya the villain stalker

>>280566757

Don't discard the blacklisting possibility yet.
A goodbye kiss is just the ultimate fuel for a blacklist.

>>280566541

Can't make it any more obvious than a goodbye kiss.

>>280566838
>A goodbye kiss is just the ultimate fuel for a blacklist.
Ok, let's say a blacklist happens after this chapter, it's just going to be played for comedy or something, Kazuya is going to all giddy because of the kiss so even if Chizuru blocks him then Kazuya will just take that as a sign he needs to try harder while making one of his dumb expressions, BUT on the other hand if we do get a serious separation arc then we're just gonna timeskip through it and another character is going to help Kazuya chase Chizuru again.

>>280566512
>Yuko Kurose

And Nagi Aoe too. Especially around the 1st cour when she larped as le kewl femme fatale and not as Yotsuba on negative steroids.

She did the same shit to Akira, even managed to make him plap her, then gave him goodbye, only to reveal it was all to break Shino'oka and Akira apart and drive her into suicide... long story short, it was her who told Akira in the hospital Yuuko loved him.
That shit was what triggered the lovers abyss incident that ended with Uryuu's death at Yuuko's hands and Akira having his most pathetic incel meltdown.
