Yeah I don't get their deal. Like, why are they hanging around with the ~loser crew~ who want to include the loving CRIPPLE instead of doing their own thing? Unless it's Uena dragging the rest of them along.

Unless it's Uena dragging the rest of them along. Handsome guy wants to hang out with the MC for unclear reasons. Formerly glasses girl wants to hang out with handsome guy, but is too awkward to ask him out alone so she prefers group activities. She invited Ueno to round out the female-male ratio and to hook her up with MC (two birds with one stone). Only handsome guy's motivations are really mysterious at all.

Man I just want to believe that handsome guy is just a legitimately nice dude who just wanted to hang out with no ulterior motives, just so we can have one character who isn't two-faced outside our core group of friends.

It's obvious that they're supposed to be viewed with suspicion because Shouya has the worlds biggest Trust Issues. Really, Mashiba is just Some Dude, Kawai is just Some Girl That Does Whatever Her Crush Does, and Ueno is a breath of fresh air after Loathsome Paternal Family

After Oregairu, I'm willing to accept that sometimes a nice, popular, good-looking guy in a story about awkward social outcasts is actually exactly as nice as he appears.

I don't think Kawai is two-faced, she's just insensitive. In that she doesn't realize what she's poking around in. She thinks they're just teens hanging out with no baggage at all. I also implicitly trust handsome guy because it would be a bit contrived for him to be up to something.

Clarste posted:The Deaf Community isn't all sunshine and rainbows either. I'm reminded of the deaf parents who didn't want their child to be able to hear (there was some surgery or hearing aid or something available) because they thought it would distance her from their community. Deaf people literally have their own language, so it's not much of a surprise that they've developed their own isolated subculture. You talking about Sound and Fury? They did a follow-up and they all have implants now.

Count me in for (tentatively) trusting Mashiba. So far, I don't think he's given us any reason to think he has an ulterior motive beyond wanting to hang out with that wacky guy in class that jumps off bridges. Plus, he did ( Chapter 33 Spoilers ) support Nagatsuka's decision to let Shoko help with the movie when the others were just sitting there kind of slack-jawed, even if you want to interpret those ellipses in his dialogue as some hesitation on his part. At this point, it's probably down to how optimistic you personally feel.  (And, boy, do I want some more genuinely nice supporting characters in this comic besides, like, Sahara.)

Should be interesting to see Mashiba's reaction if he ever finds out about Shouya's past, which will probably happen given they're going to the elementary school. They'll probably run into that old teacher too..

I sense a beatdown coming. I'm pretty curious about Kawai's script and I hope there'll be a chapter showing what the film actually looks like. It'd be pretty cool if they made it a silent film or used sign language for the dialogue.

Yeah, after finally reading the newest chapter, I got the feeling that Mashiba's just generally an alright guy but if he stays that way after inevitably finding out about Shouya's elementary school days or not depends on whether he believes that Shouya's turnabout is legit I guess. If he thinks it's just a con to hurt Shouko more, he probably won't stay cool for long.

I just started reading this, and it really didn't take long for the bullying to start. It's almost painful to read. Everyone is a dick, all the time, and even that one male teacher is an rear end in a top hat. As great as the story is, I hope it doesn't stay as oppressive as it's started out. e: And just after I post that, I get to chapter 6 and a wonderful breath of fresh air. e2: Ch 7: gently caress you, mom.

There will definitely be a bit of tension and conflict when Ishida tell him, but I doubt there'll be a lasting schism between the two. At the very least, I think we can trust him not to be another Ueno. ViggyNash fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Apr 20, 2014 |

New chapter is up in Chinese. Shouya's face during the most awkward conversation ever is fantastic. Mashiba continues to be the anti-ueno. Overall one more thing resolved (old school memories).

Chapter 35's out on Crunchyroll. I slightly worry about Mashiba, but he seems to be an all right dude overall. If there isn't any conflict between him and Shouya, then it'll probably come up with Kawai when the story decides to focus on her.

Mashiba's too reckless and that could spell trouble down the line but he's a cool guy. And as always, Shouko steals the show every time she shows up  Funny thing I just realized, a few chapters ago we were talking about that 'handsome guy' and now we call him by his name, just like Shouya and his Xs!

If Shouya hadn't gone to apologize to Shouko, he would have committed suicide, which would have solved nothing and only caused problems for everyone around him. All Mashiba did was satisfy his own impulses and make the teacher tell him and Shouya to gently caress off. ViggyNash fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Apr 23, 2014 |

You know, throwing a water bottle in someone's face is a form of communication.Dark_Tzitzimine posted:Keep in mind that Mashiba got the idea than Shouya and Shouko were 'victims', I'm sure he will change his tune were to know what Shouya exactly did. Here's the thing, the teacher's problem is that he doesn't realize he hosed up, and actually credits himself for stopping it when he saw it. Shouya is the exact opposite, placing far more blame on himself than he deserves. I expect a conflict between them to explode brightly but be cathartic in the end.

In the end, they were both victims, particularly of this awful teacher. Mashiba's clearly got a short fuse but he can probably see the difference between the teacher saying "all that bullying you received sure turned you into a swell guy" and a guy who has a palpable cloud of guilt over his head day in and day out. Guilt so strong that he nearly committed suicide, and learned sign language on the slim chance that he ever happened to run into the person he bullied sometime before that happened. It will manifest as a conflict, and Shouya will very likely say he deserves whatever comes to him in that event, but there's a clear resolution there.
