What do we expect from an fl in First ch the seller tell her apples are sweet so she believes him . Her mum literally tell us she doesn't use her brain. I started this long ago and I found it recently again so when I read a few ch I was so annoyed cus the logic went out of the window . Not to mention. The open minded ml and the annoying fl who gors after someone who has a gf . Literally anti girls girls .
I really like this manga. what i don’t like is that Ren had a gf and kinda cheated on her (even tho it was emotional n not physical) and also the fact that we can’t really see what Ren is feeling. For me it was too sudden cause we didn’t get to see what Ren was thinking and how his feelings developed.
Lol i got called forth coz of a false notif on Ao haru ride.....and read yhe addtl. for Strobe Edge....was reluctant to read it.....coz is one of the few stories I refused to reread.....
I read it like more than a decade ago???? And hated it.
I hate the ML, hated the FL...the story... Can't really remember the pull content...
But I remember the feeling well......
I felt bad for the 2ML....
It was frustrating.....
This is on the same page as Bokura ga ira for me ......traumatizes my young brain...
Now an adult.....i still refuse to reread it....coz i don't wanna relive the frustrations ahahaha
I actually just read Strobe Edge for the first time, and as an adult. I get why people find Ninako frustrating, especially when you look at her from a more mature perspective. But honestly, I think her actions make sense for her age and where she’s coming from. She’s not really being selfish — just young, inexperienced, and trying to understand her feelings the best way she knows how. Being friend-zoned doesn’t mean your emotions instantly disappear, and it’s normal to feel sad or confused when someone you care about suddenly puts distance between you. What I like about Strobe Edge is that it doesn’t romanticize love too much — it shows how relationships can drift apart naturally as people change, like how Ren and his girlfriend grew distant because of priorities and time. Ninako’s way of handling things isn’t perfect, but that’s what makes her feel real to me — she’s learning how to love, let go, and respect boundaries in her own messy, human way.
bro i hate ninako's personality it's not just being resilient or whatsoever it's just you being selfish and a pushover. if you totally get that you're rejected and you just want to be friends, then don't sulk about ren putting on some distance between you two, know your boundaries. as for ren, he practically just fell out of love with his first girlfriend, and then started falling for someone else. it happens most of the time in a failing relationship wherein both of parties have their own priorities. it's a great plot but it's just so different because most of the time shoujo girls are typically loved by many. don't get me wrong, i've read this before and i was like "so cute, i like this one." but rereading this now, the FL is actually so annoying, i hope she took the time to think of andou for a while (in which she did, but still always going back to ren) i feel like it's just the execution of her resilience that is throwing me off because instead of becoming loveable for that trait of hers, it became a nuisance instead. i HONESTLY adore cheerful FL in many shoujo mangas out there, it's just that hers became so surrounded by ren she's all over him and she doesn't even think of him having a girlfriend. is my thought delivered here? great plot because it also explores the depths of relationship where what if both of you became so distant from each other, or something like that. ninako could have a better way to be just there around ren but not to the point she's like becoming an unlikeable type of female lead. if i was her friend i would definitely talk about not being around someone who has a significant other already because that is just plainly disrespectful considering she likes ren ╥﹏╥ that's all
I read that when I was younger and I was thinking : « wow such an amazing manga loved it ! » but now as an adult re-reading it sucks I can’t understand why I liked it so much. Don’t get me wrong I love the author but this story doesn’t catch me anymore. I couldn’t even get past chap 5. Cause wow but Daiki is such a good guy I feel like crying ╥﹏╥
But the fact that Ren had a girlfriend and he started to have feelings for another girl ( the FL ) is something that can can happen to anyone. Even tho it was more like he was taking responsibility it’s still his first love. If he stopped having feelings he should have said so without causing a mess. It really feels sh*tty for the girlfriend but it shows that feelings can change when you meet someone and start to really know that person.
That’s not cheating at all you just hang out as friends it’s when they act on it that is called cheating. Or when they know they love someone else and they’re not breaking up with their current girlfriend for a long time.
( I feel like you must have some time to accept that you love someone else than your girlfriend and then tell her the truth. But longer than that can be considered cheating yeah )
But seriously can we talk about the FL personality ? Like I know she never fell in love before and she sees a handsome face so she’s attracted to him. But does she not have some basic common sense. Get to know the guy before falling in love with him （￣へ￣） She said she understood when she got rejected but her behaviour doesn’t show it. I feel like if she wasn’t the FL we would all hate her and ask her to leave Ren alone. But the fact that he still falls in love with her, I guess it works so..
Well this work really messed up my mind sorry I was rambling ;) Needed to get that out of the system (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Thank you. I used to obsess over sakisaka sensei's work, I still love her but I'm quite disillusioned with her stories and started seeing the problematic parts of them

The notifications brought back some memories. I read this manga when I was 16 and now I'm 30, lol. I still love it to this day.
Official uploads after 15 years is INSANE.
