Comment on [DISC] Chigau Miyahara Omae Janai! / No Miyahara, Not You! - Ch. 48
wjs018@ani.social 2 days agoYeah, I think that is a fair take on things. I agree that it is a bit of a tragic tale. I think that one of the main things this series is lacking that would make it a bit more satisfying is an arc where Arima and Yukihira actually try to get closer (like go on dates or something like that). I think that Arima has placed Yukihira on a pedestal in his brain, and an arc where he actually gets closer to her and gets a more realistic image of her would help his turn back to Miyahara feel more satisfying.

Yeah - I think the whole thing of him putting Yukihira on a pedestal was meant to be a central point.
But then that somehow morphed into the idea that he doesn’t actually like Yukihira (in the Japanese schoolkid sense of “like”), or at least not as much as he likes Miyahara, and I don’t buy that. It might well turn out to be the case given time, but right now, I just don’t think it is. And neither does he.
Ah well - hardly the first time a manga has rushed to a not quite satisfying ending. And at least, as you noted, the characters are charming.
