I finished re-reading Ishigami's sports arc and I suddenly realized how much I'm going to [REDACTED]

The poo poo he dealt with mirrored my own middle school experiences well and made my blood boil.

:siren: Here we go (Chapter 192 Speedscans by Discord) :siren:

Big Bombshells were dropped today. To summarize:

o Osaragi used to be an outgoing child. The daughter of an actress, she lost this trait after her mother had an affair.
o Under heavy scrutiny in middle school, she was shielded from anguish by her friends, Iino (and Ishi).
o She then became best friends with Tsubame-Senpai, who faced her own scrutiny with stride.
o Contrary to our fears, Tsubame did not contact Ootomo to spill all the beans.
o Instead, she condifed with Kaguya and Osaragi beforehand.
o She has a very, very cunning plan (to the point that Kaguya underestimated her)
o Kaguya realllly likes where this is going and signs up
o Meeting with Ishi, Osaragi reveals she knew about the middle school letter Ishi gave Iino.
o Ishi confesses that letter was super Chuuni of him, and wrote it out of pity.
o "I've always been looking out for you as well." - Osaragi
o (Okay bombshell time) The main reason Osaragi cannot support IshiMiko...
o ...Is because she loves Ishigami herself.
o Ishi's love triangle just became a full-blown harem. That's two Impossible Girls in Ishi's pocket.
o And lest I mention the latest episode with Osaragi's bit came out the same day this dropped.
o Did I mention Aka is a madman?

Err, actually I think the text moreso implies that she could have had romantic feelings for Ishigami but didn't due to seeing him giving Iino the letter and now she just likes him platonically and wants him to be happy.

Uh so this was a mistake on the early leaks' side and consequently made the discord freak out. In reality there's no real "bomb" this chapter, unless you consider the flower reveal one, but that's been made extremely obvious for ages. The actual situation is closer to what Folt the Bolt said, with it currently being purely platonic. Which also makes this chapter way better and less harem-trashy, so thank god for that.

That's right, there's absolutely no competition in this chapter. After all, a boy can have two sisters.

(I was going to call Osaragi another older sister for Ishigami, but I looked it up, and she's younger than him by three months.)

This chapter has me thinking that the "Impossible Challenges" themselves will be represented by the suitor character winning over the item character in some way. Ishigami's challenge is pretty clear: win over Tsubame's heart. On the other hand, it looks like Osaragi and Miko are gonna have a fallout in the future, so maybe Miko's challenge involves forgiveness.

If this is the case it makes me want to see Love is War: Zero even more. What did Miyuki do to win over Momo? It's clear from the Festival arc that Miyuki had gotten Momo on his side a long time ago, leading to her helping with the romantic gesture.

Then again, this is all speculation based on lore and Aka is free to do whatever he wants with the tale.

I mean, if we go by lore, isn't Maki's twin younger brother the most likely to win? I know, I know, being Maki is suffering and all that.

Haha, nice! Miko Iino's character song (made for the second season) is called "Othello" which is likely a reference to the play by Shakespeare. Considering what's currently happening in the manga and various bits and pieces of foreshadowing and subtext, I'm thinking Iino is going to experience a "fall" in the future.

Having read it Osaragi just comes off as a really bad friend here. She's acting as if she knows exactly how everyone else feels, when there's no way that she could know any of their feelings for a fact.

Frankly until later chapters come out that clarify what's actually happening with Osaragi it seems like a fool's errand to probe into it too deeply. Evidently even native speakers are having trouble trying to figure out what Aka is getting at here, and I have to imagine that was exactly the desired reaction.

While still a lovely friend, I think this chapter shows that Koba-chan:
  • Still likes/at least has a soft spot for Ishigami (due to knowing how he actually is since middle school) and wants to see him be happy/succeed in this relationship.
  • Since she also holds Tsubame in relatively high regard due to the advice she gave her during her freshman year in middle school, that also factors into her being on the IshiTsuba ship.
  • She still probably feels that, while Iino has endured a lot of hardships, she knows Iino is probably going to remain stuck in sorta-arrested development unless she gets dragged out of her rut.

Overall, probably one of my favorite chapters.

Also I'm kinda afraid of how hilariously brutal is Kaguya's involvement going to be, given her current big-sister relationship with Ishigami and what she indirectly did at the last guy who messed with her cute little brother.

I really don't know what to think about all of these revelations but I'm really excited to see where all this intrigue goes. Also anxious about how much this is going to blow up in their faces.

Also it looks Osaragi took Tsubame's advice.

Somewhat unrelated, but I've been going deep down the V-tube rabbit hole for about a week or two. It's taught me that I can enjoy minecraft videos if they star basically living anime girls. It's all Aka's fault for mentioning them!
