Post your predictions about the next chapter (or few chapters) in here. No, this is not meant to stop you from making predictions outside of the thread, but a place to collect all of them and let people discuss their theories after the chapter has been out for a few days. It also works as a place to come back to to see what people got right and wrong, or build off of each others theories.
Note that if spoilers come early, this thread will become for those who want to stay spoiler-free. As such, posting the leaks in this thread once they are out will result in a permanent ban.
Every time I run into this card, I think of Kazuya and I finally found it!
1 morale is 20 percent dmg boost for those curious
Since after Mami and Ruka harshly scolded Chiz in Hawaiians, Chiz hasn't dared to hold Kaz's hand proactively during dates like before 💔
When thinking about the delay, it may seem negative at first glance. However, there is another side worth considering.
Kazuya and Chizuru are not delaying without reason each of them is going through an important phase, and they are likely to arrive at the date with high spirits as a result of the successes they achieve. Kazuya is approaching success in his practical training, which means he won’t come to the date in the same state as before, but rather with a sense of pride and growing confidence. This, in itself, could significantly influence how he carries himself and acts during the meeting.
On the other hand, Chizuru is focused on her stage performance. If she succeeds and receives praise from the director, it would ease the pressure she has been under and bring her into a more stable emotional state. She wouldn’t approach the date exhausted or overwhelmed, but rather more open to accepting what exists between her and Kazuya.
Within this context, there is also a potentially pivotal detail: Kazuya might come to pick Chizuru up by car.
This may seem simple on the surface, but it carries meaningful weight it would be an unexpected surprise for her and reveal a different side of him. A more proactive, self-reliant version, something she is not used to seeing in this way.
Despite these positives, the downsides of the delay cannot be ignored.
Chizuru, despite her attempts to focus on the play, continues to think about Kazuya. This overlap between her emotions and her responsibilities may affect her concentration and make her performance less stable than it could be under clearer circumstances.
Additionally, Kazuya’s absence during this period means she is missing a kind of support she has grown used to support that often helps her bring out her best.
On the other side, Kazuya himself is not entirely at ease either. We can see him resisting Ruka’s temptations by looking at the phone case Chizuru gave him. Despite his progress, he still needs emotional reinforcement, especially under the direct and uncomfortable pressure Ruka places on him. The lack of Chizuru’s stabilizing presence during this time makes him more vulnerable to that pressure.
In the end, the delay becomes a double edged situation.
On one hand, it allows both Kazuya and Chizuru to reach the date in a better state, with higher morale, and perhaps in a way very different from how things might have gone if they had met earlier.
On the other hand, it places both of them under ongoing pressure whether from distraction, absence, or external influences.
The current arc of the manga that has been going on for awhile now has me a bit confused. It seems like everything is building up to the July 11th date and that on that date Kazuya will hopefully be himself and win over Chizuru instead of like the last date where he was super nervous and not being honest about himself and and trying to act all cool and Chizuru could tell.
My question is this:
What do you think is actually going to happen on that date? Because it can’t be anything good.
Everything happening is still pointing to Kazuya not being honest: he won’t break up with Ruka, he won’t reject Mami, he wants Chizuru to think he’s cool because he has his drivers license, he wants to work out to impress her, he wants to write a big poetic love confession to impress her. What is he DOING??? She doesn’t want any of that. I can’t see this going well.
What WILL happen though? Because if we just get another rejection, we already saw that. What could it be this time?
So I am fine as many as this manga chapter last long but I want chizuru and kazuya to be in a relationship before the manga end so do any of you have any prediction how many ch will it take to them for be ing in a relationship.
