@afightsong: I just hope she doesnβt get dragged into an eternal love triangle now, she needs a better arc esp if it doesnβt seem sheβll be endgameΒ
I agree! Right now it kinda seems like sheβs becoming Taichi 2.0 though, which I really hope isnβt the case because thatβs redundant. And also because imo Taichiβs arc has been dragging.
Unfortunately I feel like sheβll just keep pining after Eiji until he fully gets together with Fujimura and properly (?) turns her down for good.
maybe Iβm remembering wrong but has Eiji actually rejected her in plain words? please no more, βwhy would you like someone like me?β βI donβt think Iβm ready for love.β Those kind of blanket statements are justβ¦ too broadβ¦ vaguely hopeful. Even if she realizes that he doesnβt like her the same way. ugh. I just want him to tell her that. ok I think I was probably remembering this wrong but Iβll leave the text here anyway lol.
What Iβd want to see: they become book buddies and genuine friends. Or, even, they donβt become friends. Thatβs fine too because sometimes when you have real feelings for someone and they donβt return them, itβs too hard to become friends with them.
What I personally donβt want to see is her getting together with Taichi. Er, I guess it really depends on how itβs done but if itβs something like, βwell Iβll give you a chance because I never got one with Eijiβ ngl I will be unhappy. Thatβd just be patronizing and honestly, not true to herself. So Iβll want anything to happen but that lol.
@seekmywayout Yes, and tbh Taichi is my least fave like he is probably the best person in the manga but I find his support Ikezawa choice to be eye rolling. Which is probably why my fave male character is Nogi π (unrelated but I really enjoyed Ikezawa x Nogi that one time, but I doubt they'll go that way either). The Taichi/Ikezawa/Eiji situatuion was indeed dragging and also kinda off, everything was spinning between the other leads, Ikezawa seems nosy to a lot of people and I can't blame them, she feels like such an outsider to the plot until now. And once we get some cute blushing...she helps Eiji towards another girl. I really hope they go with 'it just happened' & then they develop feelings rather than they liked each other already cause it makes little sense or I just saw too much of Eiji being annoyed. I also feel Eiji & Fujimura will ran from each other for 20 more chapters while Ikezawa becomes a horrible, pushy third wheel π I really want to be wrong & we actually get a good arc for her but I feel author favours Fujimura in every sense. Eiji kinda rejected her but also seemed open enough for it not to be a never. I can't see them as friends tbh but like Fujimura, I do want Ikezawa to have friends? Idk they seem completely alone all the time and only focused on their love life now. I wanted all 3 girls to become friends as well but I feel it'd be too weird now. I already talked about Taichi but same, I hope they don't go that way at all. I think she already rejected his help after talking with Nogi? Cause them talking about Eiji was just NG to Taichi, so idk how & why she would be interested in him. It can happen but I feel they have little chemistry together. I made it too long I think heh!
