Dude I love this girl so much I just want to put her in a blanket and hug her. The senpai ain't shit. She's going on around not trying too hard being a regret but at this point she gon have regret for being too pushy. I get that you want them to like you back but idk if being pushy is the way to go about it. Guys like chasing anyway.
More than pushy I feel like she wants to be a part of his life yet she doesn't want to be too intrusive. Which makes it confusing where she should step in and where she shouldn't. The persistence she has probably comes from her undervaluing herself. It's good to make an effort but when that effort isn't reciprocated it should be dropped. I especially feel bad for the ML she's a very normal girl and she's trying her best to grow as a person but he's just taking advantage of her feelings for him which pisses me off since he's older and has more experience.
Yes i agree with you, I feel like when effort is not reciprocated it should be dropped. I kinda understand why she trying hard since she feels like she will regret otherwise. But yeah she is so cute and under value herself, like honestly like this manga reminds me of day light shooting star. Where the teacher says no then says yes then no and then yes again, she tried to move on every time he said no which is honestly really good. But this manga girl goes at it even harder when she feels him looking at someone else. And honestly that's not really healthy. Like there's all these attachment theories and a secure person would return love or give up if it's not returned. But the way she's going about it seems like she has anxious attachment. Even if it not an attachment issue I feel like she has low self worth to pursue someone repeatedly showing no interest or interest in someone else. Maybe I am wrong and she'll realize some of this stuff in the future chapters instead of just a guy giving her self confidence. I am not saying a partner can't help in that department but honestly I relied on my ex for self confidence and I thought it was working but honestly even tho he was nice and complement me I realize that would just give me ego boost. Real confidence comes from being self reliant and being able to come to terms with your weaknesses. Honestly I didn't wanna say a bunch of feminist shit like you don't need a man to be happy, because I think partnership is pretty great. (▰˘◡˘▰) you get to grow and mature together, but really especially in the confidence department you gotta work on yourself cause it's almost impossible for other people to do it. Like you can lead a horse to water but it gotta drink on its own. Same way a partner can show all the stuff your good at but u gotta accept them on your own. I honestly wish she goes through some self searching before ending up with misono. I really do like like and relate to her, I didn't wanna trash on her, just critiques to the story.
Oh no I completely understand and agree with you. She has flaws but overall I like her and she does deserve better. Confidence does come within and it takes a lot of experience to realize that and it's not always necessarily good. I don't want her to date anyone right away since she needs time to truly think abt herself. Overall, I really like this author so I think she'll probably portray the characters much better especially since this seems to be a longer work than the others.
I think her feelings are pretty normal it's hard to notice toxic traits when you like someone and the ML is really nice and is trying to be understanding its the guy's fault for leading her on even tho he likes someone else it doesn't matter how their relationship ended it isn't an excuse to play with a young and impressionable girl. But from what we've seen from the ml she knows how to properly grow from her mistakes and unfortunately situations where people play around with another's emotions are really common. Anyways hopefully she grows from this and realizes yes feelings are important and you should give effort but what really matters most is putting urself first. I also really like the 2nd male lead love isn't always hectic and exciting, it can also be like comforting and Im glad she feels that with the 2nd ML.
