I expect this plan to absolve Ishigami somewhat, but blow up in Tsubame's face by someone openly trying to take Ishigami away from her or something. Or Iino gets involved.

Edit: wrong girl.

I don't think Tsubame is trying to date Ishigami.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
It was framed as like a farewell gift, wasn't it?

It's also fundamentally a betrayal of trust from Ishigami's perspective. I don't think he'll appreciate this at all.

samus comfy so what

Tbh Ishigami's martyr complex is super unhealthy.

He definitely won't appreciate it but it might be the wake up call he needs.

Kaguya has signed off on the idea, and Fujiwara isn't in the in-group. It'll work just fine, even if he doesn't accept it at first.

Yeah, Kaguya being for the plan gives me hope because Kaguya really cherishes Ishigami and has a decent understanding of him, so I doubt she'd go for the plan if she didn't have confidence in it working/helping Ishigami.

I don't think Ishigami has come this far to still be hung up on some kinda immature martyr trip, especially if there's no fallout from it

That being said, I get the distinct impression ribbon senpai is probably still not interested in him romantically, so... congratulations, Iino, now you just need to get your act together

One thing's confusing me. The new rumor they're propagating is "Ogino cheated, Ishigami found out and stayed silent to protect Ootomo," but isn't that literally what happened? Or is the manga implying the whole Ogino thing went even deeper than what the readers have seen?

The thing that Ogino did is that he was cheating on/sleeping around behind Ootomo's back, but Ogino had enough people on his side/was higher on the Shuchi'in Junior High's social totem pole than our boi Ishigami. Once Ishigami found out, Ogino basically went "Shame if word got out--" aimed at Ootomo. Then, well, the incident happened which got Ishigami on a ton of people's shitlists + got him suspended throughout the rest of his JH 3rd year.

I honestly don't think Tsubame's plan will go awry due to "how will Ishigami react". While not as much as our main duo, Ishigami has had a very fun character arc so far and, while Akasaka might be a jokester/a tease of an author, I'm pretty certain he's not gonna do wrong by his own characters.

The way I see it, the funnest way this might go "wrong" might come down to Tsubame herself.

It's hinted in the chapter he was even more of a scumbag than that, yeah.

Yeah I think Ogino tried to cover up his cheating by letting people who catch him see her more private photos.

Honestly after all the hype and secretiveness I expected the plan to be more elaborated than just telling everyone the truth. There HAS to be more to it.

Now he has to settle for Tsubame or Miko.

She said doing her senior year a third time would be bad. If she was held back a second time, she'd have to do a third senior year.

Yeah, it was. I recognize the ex-prez who recruited Shirogane and Momo, who was the treasurer. No idea who the other two are. Also, now I am really curious why the ex-prez tried to hide away, and why he considers himself unpopular.

Amazing chapter all in all.

I could have sworn that ex-prez was also one of those kids who transfered into the high school and was therefore an outsider.

The others are presumably the other positions like Vice President and Secretary. Shirogane was General Affairs or something with that group.
