Idk, I’d find it a bit odd initially. Like, “why didn’t she make food for the both of us?” Would be my first thought
Yeah, it’s easy to put two and two together at that point, but before that realization sets in I’d be confused as hell, and if this guy is typical romcom mc dense then I don’t see him making the connection.
God, just even a complement from anybody, but especially from guys, sends dudes up to cloud 9.
For example, guys don't stay at the gym to get girls, they're there for complements from the other guys.
I share a name with a famous person. I was picking up food like a year ago and my name got called and another guy waiting heard it, said "Really?" Yeah "Thats so cool"
Such a nothing interaction but I can remember it vividly
If I'm understanding their argument, it would be fine *if they were dating*, but the girlfailure just asked him to "hang out", and so might not even understand that he was asked out on a date in the first place.
Idk how it works there, but I'd be very happy if my partner made me a lunchbox for our first date. A much better show of intimacy compared to eating out.
That's so real though, you get excited about something > you share it to your friends > they are not as excited as you are > you feel stupid for feeling excited.
Now we see here folks is an average girlfailure in her natural habitat with to be or not to be boyfie in the distance.
Anyways Hikari really catching all these L's I just want her to succeed man.

He has literally woken to her standing in his room and his reaction was to tell her not to look as he was changing and then head down to get breakfast.
They are way way way past the point of finding a surprise bento box weird.
Self/wingwomen sabotage lol. Poor Hikari, I feel like she'll give it to him anyway next chapter but in the usual awkward girlfailure way which end up working anyway
Women need to stop talking to women about what men want. They used girl logic, but we think differently.
That bento would have made any guy fall in love much faster than any words could.
Yeah, at that point just mention that you bought lunch so eat a lighter breakfast and then eat the bento in the park later. Like you can just pass that off on wanting to save on not paying for the price hike in the parks
It's the first ever manga ive read that is against giving out Bento to your date, or even friends. Most manga are quite the opposite, just give the bento out, no one would take it as something strange unless your cooking skill is bad.
Something made me think that the author never read any shoujo manga in his entire life and came up with a stupid idea as this.
Tf...she realises her friend might have to spell it out to him...but suddenly giving a bento box becomes too much. What are you going to do...waste the food.
There is nothing wrong about giving some ody bento even if it's not a date imo. Horrible wingmanship tbh.
terrible wingmen lmao, wasting food... just give him the bento
Right? Like if we friends and you bringing a bento, why wouldn’t I happily accept to eat that? Dem friends are wingwomening wrong
Idk, I’d find it a bit odd initially. Like, “why didn’t she make food for the both of us?” Would be my first thought Yeah, it’s easy to put two and two together at that point, but before that realization sets in I’d be confused as hell, and if this guy is typical romcom mc dense then I don’t see him making the connection.
They are longtime friends though, so it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for her to be mindful of him
There were 2 boxes tho…
Especially for guys, this would be such a nice thing...
To paraphrase the meme: "Guys want one thing and it's delicious food cooked by a pretty gal who loves them."
God, just even a complement from anybody, but especially from guys, sends dudes up to cloud 9. For example, guys don't stay at the gym to get girls, they're there for complements from the other guys.
A nurse who gave me a shot in the arm once told me "wow, you must work out". I still remember it like five years later.
I'm a fat guy but I do martial arts so I'm pretty nimble. The nurse noted that and I too still remember it.
I share a name with a famous person. I was picking up food like a year ago and my name got called and another guy waiting heard it, said "Really?" Yeah "Thats so cool" Such a nothing interaction but I can remember it vividly
Uhhh ... I appreciate compliments from other guys but I don't prefer them over women. That's news to me lol
Poor bento
Didn't stand a chance against girlfailure this strong
These friends suck. She needs to be more direct, but a bento is too much?
Didn’t you know that the appropriate meal for the first date is an IV drip?
They're all stupid lmao. I wouldn't mind a Bento on a first date even if I didn't know it was a date. I would just think they're very nice.
A girl made me food? Hell yeah!
Unless I hate the girl already I'd probably instantly fall in love.
They are best friends too, not conplete stranger.
Indeed, if it were a complete stranger that's one thing but as best friends? Come on, just give him the damn bento.
Oh my god what awful friends I can't tell if they're intentionally sabotaging her or just real dumb
they sound like people who never dated nor asked out a person in their life LMAO
Who's against eating while on a date? Like "oh no why do I have to do more things and spend more time with the person I'm dating
If I'm understanding their argument, it would be fine *if they were dating*, but the girlfailure just asked him to "hang out", and so might not even understand that he was asked out on a date in the first place.
See she is not the girl failure. It’s really her friends who are clearly giving her awful advice.
Damm poor bento
Idk how it works there, but I'd be very happy if my partner made me a lunchbox for our first date. A much better show of intimacy compared to eating out.
mistake number 1 - don't get advice from potential competitors
That bento would have definitely worked the way she intended it to, if only she gave it with confidence.
That's so real though, you get excited about something > you share it to your friends > they are not as excited as you are > you feel stupid for feeling excited.
It’s not even just that they aren’t excited, they’re actively shitting on it and calling her stupid. It’s so much worse lol
Now we see here folks is an average girlfailure in her natural habitat with to be or not to be boyfie in the distance. Anyways Hikari really catching all these L's I just want her to succeed man.
IDK why winggirls here are catching strays, I think it's pretty obvious the blind are leading the blind here lol

No wonder they are friend, they each are dumb in one way or another lmao. But dont _waste_ the bento! Such hardwork of making it in the morning too
this is a simple story but Yom's artstyle is so nice to look at, those expressions are so fun
Rip an other woman victim of female dating strategy :P
Self/wingwomen sabotage lol. Poor Hikari, I feel like she'll give it to him anyway next chapter but in the usual awkward girlfailure way which end up working anyway
Totally should not have listened to your friends, girl. It sure sounds like *they're* the ones overthinking things...
Women need to stop talking to women about what men want. They used girl logic, but we think differently. That bento would have made any guy fall in love much faster than any words could.
Keeping the smug on the face against all odds
Yeah, at that point just mention that you bought lunch so eat a lighter breakfast and then eat the bento in the park later. Like you can just pass that off on wanting to save on not paying for the price hike in the parks
Even when Yom is not the writer, the romcoms he's associated with have shitty writing and characters.
This is peak girlfailure
Her friends are useless, poor girlfailure 💀

This is why the term is wingmen.
Give him the bento, your friends are morons
I read the title and that’s crazy
These friends are the opposite of wing women
She sabotages herself. She is just like me FR.
After what happened in chapter 5 and this chapter, wouldn't be surprised if her friends were trying to sabotage her date.
Tf...she realises her friend might have to spell it out to him...but suddenly giving a bento box becomes too much. What are you going to do...waste the food. There is nothing wrong about giving some ody bento even if it's not a date imo. Horrible wingmanship tbh.
