Chapter 55: My Girlfriend Is a Menhera and a Yandere
“I heard from my mother… they said the engagement with Kuzuryuu Souma has been completely canceled.”
“That’s good to hear.”
“Yes… truly. At long last, we’re finally freed from that infuriating thing that kept trying to tear us apart!”
The engagement with Kuzuryuu Souma…
And the other engagements planned afterward with various wealthy young men.
All of them were canceled.
Apparently, this was decided even before Kuzuryuu Shiori appeared.
Apparently, the one who made the decision was, surprisingly, Fuyunagi Shizuku’s mother.
Honestly, it was unexpected that she would be the one who made the decision, that tough, unyielding woman who barely seems like someone you can reason with.
Considering her unshakable determination to marry Fuyunagi-san off to Kuzuryuu Souma no matter what…
“It seems like my father persuaded her, but there’s no way Mother would actually agree to it just like that… maybe…”
“Maybe?”
“I think the deciding factor was the advice I’d been giving my father…”
“Advice…?”
“Yes… well, I doubt my father would blindly follow a child’s advice, so who knows what the truth is…”
The advice Fuyunagi-san had given her father.
Just hearing the contents of that outrageous “advice” was enough to make my head spin.
I’ve started to understand this a little myself lately… but apparently, the women of the Fuyunagi family are M… or masochists.
They’re said to instinctively desire to be dominated and controlled by men… or something like that?
Sure, Fuyunagi-san looks like a total sadist at first glance, but she definitely has the qualities of a masochist.
If I act even a little assertively, she somehow actually looks kind of happy…
If that’s something she inherited from her parents, then yeah, I guess that makes sense… I guess?
Well… she apparently advised her father to dominate and scold her mother with a strong dose of sadism.
Since she herself is a closet M, she figured her mother was probably a closet M too, and made her guess based on that…
And, well, the results speak for themselves.
Certainly, Fuyunagi’s mother at that time was somehow bewitching and very ero… ahem.
Anyway… thanks to her father’s persuasion, the engagement was canceled, and with Kuzuryuu Shiori showing up afterward, the decision to call it off became completely unshakable.
With this, even Fuyunagi’s grandparents should settle down.
Well… in any case, I’m glad it all worked out.
“But still, how did your father change her mind? She’s such a strict person, after all…”
“Well… even though she looked like she wanted to talk about it, in the end she absolutely refused. It’s probably something she couldn’t let her child hear, don’t you think?”
“I guess… considering she mentioned she might be pregnant, then that does make sense…”
She must have been strongly persuaded by her husband, and it was probably during that time that the M within her awakened.
As a result, she got aroused, and they probably just ended up going straight to bed.
Honestly… what a passionate couple.
“Taku-chan… what exactly are you imagining right now?”
“Heh!?”
“You’re not getting turned on by imagining something erotic about my mother… are you?”
“N-no way! There’s no way I’d think something like that!”
“I see. Then that’s good. If you had gotten turned on by my mother, I would’ve killed you.”
“Haha! Yeah, I’d rather not die!”
I can’t say it.
There is no way I can admit that I do think her mother is beautiful and sexy.
In Fuyunagi-san’s case… if she finds out what I’m thinking, she might seriously try to kill me.
After all, my girlfriend is a menhera and a yandere.
It can’t be helped.
Character Summary (non-official)
- Majima Takuma / Taku (真島 拓真 / タク) — Taku is an utterly average high school boy in both appearance and ability. His hair and uniform are always neat but unremarkable, giving him the classic “background character” characteristic.
- Fuyunagi Shizuku (冬柳 雫) — Fuyunagi Shizuku is a stunning black-haired high school beauty with a mature, graceful aura. Her long, silky hair, elegant posture, pure and innocent atmosphere, and impressive figure—including her large chest—give her an appearance so gentle and comforting that a tired working adult might instinctively want to cling to her and call her “Mama.” Her looks alone make her feel like a UR-rarity heroine. At school, she’s admired as a pure, wholesome, and almost ideal girl—popular among girls, constantly confessed to by boys, and always at the center of her class. In private, however, Shizuku reveals a selfish, bratty, and emotionally unstable side. She’s clingy, easily upset, mentally fragile, and relies heavily on her boyfriend for emotional support while demanding secrecy and setting controlling conditions in their relationship.
- Sakurada Nagisa (桜田 凪咲) — Sakurada Nagisa is a gyaru and one of the central members of Fuyunagi-san’s friend group. With light-brown hair, piercings, and perfectly applied bold eye makeup, she has a flashy style but is undeniably beautiful—cute enough to stand out even among the popular girls. Sado Kengo’s current girlfriend.
- Natsume Kano (夏芽 華乃) — The class president. A dignified, serious beauty whose pure appearance gives her a charm distinct from Fuyunagi-san. She prioritizes efficiency, logic, and rationality above all else, resulting in a rigid, no-nonsense personality that makes her unpopular with most classmates.
Sado Kengo (佐渡 健吾) — A high-spec soccer club member who once acted as Shizuku’s fake public boyfriend. He is now Sakurada Nagisa’s actual boyfriend.
- Katou Susumu (加藤 進) — The textbook “protagonist’s best friend” character. He’s a founding member of the self-proclaimed “Unpopular Men’s Club”. Although he’s extremely jealous of Takuma for landing a girlfriend like Fuyunagi—thus “betraying” the Unpopular Men’s Club (a group Takuma never actually agreed to join)—Kato remains loyal to him despite both his jealousy and the negative public opinion surrounding Takuma.
- Fuyunagi Reiko (冬柳 澪子) — Fuyunagi Shizuku’s mother. She is, in every sense, the woman Shizuku was shaped from—from their breathtaking beauty to the way they view men and even their underlying desires all mirror one another. Beneath that elegant, doll-like exterior lies a strict and controlling parent fixated on restoring the Fuyunagi family’s former prestige. Unlike Shizuku—who directs her warped affection toward someone she genuinely chose—Reiko tries to force her ambitions onto her daughter, believing that arranging Shizuku’s marriage is the key to reclaiming the family’s lost glory.
- Fuyunagi Kanemasa (冬柳 兼政) — Fuyunagi Shizuku’s father. A highly capable and successful man who even took the Fuyunagi family name in order to marry Reiko. Despite the family’s rigid traditions, Kanemasa is the one person who genuinely supports Shizuku, encouraging her to live freely and choose her own path—including whom she loves. The only reason Shizuku’s mother and grandfather don’t openly oppose his stance is because his success and value to the family make him too important to antagonize.
- Kuzuryuu Shiori (久豆流 詩織) — Souma’s younger sister—a beautiful, sharp-tongued genius with strikingly foreign features. Despite her Japanese-sounding name, she is a natural blonde with radiant golden hair, inherited from their great-grandmother, and possesses elegant looks that stand out strongly against Souma’s more traditionally Japanese appearance. Cold, dismissive, and brutally honest toward her brother, she seems to harbor open disdain for him, even though she once adored him as a child. Academically, she is a prodigy who skipped grades at fifteen, now attending university with multiple acclaimed research papers to her name. Her intelligence creates a stark contrast to Souma, fueling his inferiority complex and twisted sister-obsessed longing.
- Kuzuryuu Souma (久豆流 創真) — Fuyunagi Shizuku’s arranged marriage partner.
