Imasara desu ga, Osananajimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimaimashita Chapter 21 Discussion

The author posted on the Platform Formerly Known As Twitter about the Light chapter being over and now we're moving to the Dark chapter of the story. Apparently it has ALWAYS been the author's intent to deliver story this from multiple points of view. We finished the Hikari's "Light" chapters (hikari means light) and now we're moving into Ayami's "Dark" chapters (yami means darkness). I'm assuming after this we'll see Yuu "Twilight" chapters (yuu means evening), perhaps followed by a set of omniscient third-party of chapters to wrap it up. All three of these characters are likely to be Unreliable Narrators.

It's sad but a little funny to see commenters going ape-sh*t over on MangaDex with fairly intense arguing and vote bombing because the author is delivering what they had planned to deliver instead of what the commenters had storyboarded in their own heads. If these characters ARE unreliable narrators and their stories differ the commenters will complain that the author "can't keep their story straight" or that they're retconning.

Note that there is NO SYNOPSIS for this manga that promises one thing and is not being followed. THAT would be an actual Bait and Switch.

This initial Fluffy Childhood Romcom story (that people are complaining has been "ruined") likely is only Hikari's rose-colored fantasy view of her relationship with her childhood friend. There's been nothing that Yuu has said to make it seem like he's anything more than a friend who's been trying to "catch up" with her. He as much as said that in what Hikari thought was going to be a confession back in Chapter 17. He has an inferiority complex with her, not romantic attraction.
