#i should clarify i bear no ill will towards the eiji/kurumi pairing

lol i was wondering why I hadn’t seen anyone posting about the new kimi ni todoke spinoff chapters. i went and checked out the Japanese chapters in Bestuma (ebook) and within the first couple pages I could already tell why no one’s been posting about them

spoilers under here

it’s cuz they’re bullshit

there’s honestly not much point in translating or summarizing the new chapters unless for some reason you have a burning passion for eiji x kurumi because that’s all it is.

friendly reminder that we have now got three big ass chapters of a brand new enthralling love story between kurumi and some guy

this is probably like the worst possible scenario if you asked a fan a year ago what they expected or wanted the spinoff chapters to be

there’s almost a whole volume now (around 150 pages) of extra story that has nothing to do with any of the knt characters except kurumi, whom i love dearly, just not...like this

not only has there been nothing, not a whisper, about ayane. or ayapin. or chizu or ryu. but the spinoff chapters aren’t even about sawako and kazehaya lmao. i must say i did not expect that.

after the lackluster final chapter we got in regards to the rest of knt’s cast outside of sawakaze, to be held off on receiving a proper epilogue for the other characters in favor of a 150+ page eiji/kurumi storyline that no one asked for is...irritating to say the least

i can only assume for my sanity that these spinoff chapters aren’t going anywhere and that EVENTUALLY, if all goes well, Shiina-sensei will get around to showing us some other characters and/or stuff we actually care about. eventually. for now, this is what we have.
