I can't lie to myself anymore I love this series

Why did you lie to yourself in the first place? The only nitpick I personally have is the timeskip that the mangaka was forced to add, it would have been better if Aoki had hooked up with Rin when she was still a kid, but I understand why they did it. It's likely that big brother would have gotten involved if the manga had unapologetically displayed an underage girl in a happy relationship with an adult. It is what it is.

dude chill it's not 7PM yet, you have to wait like the rest of us

>you can't discuss a manga because its not in my curate knitting circle
Just nuke this place from orbit already. Imagine how much good manga you'd have read already if you weren't trapped on the ram ranch.

>>279590257
shut up fag it was a joke

>>279589630 (OP)

>>279590430
How Is that a bad thing?

>>279589772
My biggest problem with it is that it ends where it does/ It's a fine ending that wraps up mostly everything, but god dammit I want to see them dating. Or more than just 1 chapter of the girls in high school. There's absolutely fallout that could be explored if the story needs drama, but I just want to see the cute couple doing cute things for a little bit.
And unfortunately no doujin or piece of art I've ever seen even bothers to depict them end of series. Hell, most don't seem to go beyond the anime and keep it in 3-4 grade.

>>279590575
I swear this is just Noa in cosplay

>>279589772
>>279590680
Could you stop giving spoilers when the storytime is going on right now? We're still at chapter 72, I didn't know a time skip was going to happen

>>279590680
I wish more anime, outside of the shonen genre, did it like dragon ball and Naruto, where we start with a child protagonists to have children and maybe even grandchildren of their own, and the story keeps going telling the story of the next generation in a continuity
What I'm trying to say is that I want to see Aoki and Rin's child get molested by a lonely wizard master Reiji

>>279590886
I wouldn't go that far. If there was just 1 volume I'd be ecstatic.

>>279590798
Studies have shown that people enjoy stories more if they get spoiled, so you're welcome. Yes, the series ends with Rin being an adult but she looks the exact same she did as a kid, and she and Aoki try to fuck but she's too tight so they put it off for later.

>>279590798
The manga ended over a decade ago man

>>279589630 (OP)
I wish there was something else to that level of comfyness and character development. Usagi drop I dropped after timeskip, so far KnJ is on a tier of its own in terms of romcoms

>>279591117
I thought Usagi Drop ended in the best possible way. I never understood why people had an issue with it. I mean sure, it would have been better had there been no timeskip at all, but did you really expect them to show an adult man dating his adopted underage daughter in a manga that wasn't serialised in an adult mag?

If you want a recommendation, try Miman Renai.

Want an amazing japanese romance story that is still recognized countless years after its creation that is about a prince and a ten year old girls falling in love with each other?

Sensei should have won

>>279591893
But Aoki-sense did win, he got the loli and the happily ever after.

They don't even fuck, right?
Didn't they pull the classic "seperated for years until she is legal" bullshit excuse?
Meanwhile, shoujo manga always has the handsome teacher fucking a student trope, like its nothing.

>found it for the adorable characters
>read it for the story
>looked past the fanservice as I genuinely had zero interest in it

is a good manga

>>279592208
There's a timeskip but Kokonoe looks identical so it was clearly for law reasons. And they fuck in everything aside of showing the penetration

>>279590575
It's bad because. Yeah, because huh. You know

>>279592208
They do fuck after the time skip. Well, attempted to, but it was too painful for her so they gave up. But it's certain that they're sexually active and Rin is a virgin and saving her first time for Aoki.

I agree it's a bullshit excuse, but I doubt the author would have gotten a green light from the publisher without making Rin an adult. She looks literally identical to her younger self though so I consider it a reasonable compromise.

>>279592333
>timeskip
Knew it, what a fucking cop out and shit series

>>279592394
Kek, so predictable

>>279592383
>>279592333
>Adult but looks the same
>lolibaba shit
This is somehow even worse, the 5000 year old loli is so played out

>>279592359
I still fail to see why it's bad

>>279590798
I mean, it's your fault. No one has the obligation to respect an anonymous thread here. You should be always be alert for spoilers in different threads.

>>279592443
What would you have preferred then? You do understand that her staying underage and fucking Aoki was not an option, right?

>>279592925
Don't bother, he's just trolling

>>279592583
I disagree. What I believe is the best course of action overall is to spoil yourself the story intentionally. This is because of three main reasons. One, you get to drop manga you know you'll hate before investing, e.g. romance manga that includes cheating/NTR/rape. Two, if you do decide to pick up the story, you'll then enjoy it more because you know what's going to happen (look it up, people who have had the story spoiled enjoy the story more). Three, you no longer have to worry about spoilers, intentional or accidental, and can browse the net without worry.

>>279592443
>adult
16yrs old.

>>279592925
Koi Kaze literally had a loli incest relationship, don't tell what's not possible

>>279593019
>(look it up, people who have had the story spoiled enjoy the story more).
You and those are not "people"

>>279593073
There are studies conducted on normal people. It's just a fact, most people would deny appreciating spoilers, but they rate having enjoyed the story more if they were spoiled.

What part of not people do you not understand?

>>279593415
All of it I guess. Give me your definition of not people.

>>279593504
Consumer cattle.

>>279592472
look harder

>>279593570
Well then, that clearly excludes me.

>>279592925
why not?

>>279590713
imagine having both Noa-chan and Rin-chan

>>279595070
Because jealous hags have deemed it undesirable and have manipulated the rest of society to accept it as a fact.

>>279592443
I feel sorry for Ren. She deserved her E-cup happy ending.

>>279595070
>"Why can't kids have sex"

Anyone that can be tricked into believing a fat fuck in a red costume flies around the world in one night with a sleigh pulled by reindeer, fit through chimneys, and pass out presents to millions of children that can fit inside one nasty ass bag should not be engaged in the act of reproduction.

I don't think I could handle that much pure cuteness in one location

being a non-horny fan of this series is weird as shit because about 85% of the fanbase is just lolicon posting. I just wonder where that 15% is, honestly.

>>279596082
I don't see the need to separate the two. We are capable of appreciating both the romance and the cunny equally.

>>279589772
>The only nitpick I personally have is the timeskip that the mangaka was forced to add, it would have been better if Aoki had hooked up with Rin when she was still a kid,
Nah, I think the issue is that Watashiya was deadset on that ending and was forced to have a timeskip. A timeskip ending would have worked fine if Rin actually grew up, but having a timeskip AND Rin still looking like a kid is the worst of both worlds.

>>279590798
I always spoiler in the storytime, but it's 100% your fault for joining this thread, the manga has been finished for a decade, it's your fault if you get spoiled from a discussion.

>>279596426
Of course she was deadset on that ending, as she should be. The main pair from the beginning was obviously Rin and Aoki, so it's only appropriate that they end up in a relationship.

The timeskip was necessary because of legal reasons or insistence of the publisher, and what we got was the best possible ending. In fact you could argue that it's even better than young Rin being dicked by Aoki, for the fact that there's now a high in universe chance that she has some kind of a condition that prevents her from aging physically. Imagine if you were dating a loli that never aged a day physically.

>>279596187
oh there is no need to separate the two, but it's still difficult to talk about this series when all people wanted to talk about was the hornyshit that I care not for lmao

>>279596082
Only those who've read the manga appreciate the series beyond lolicon bait. Now don't get me wrong, I wish I could be Aoki and wife Rin myself. But the story is much more than wanting to fuck lolis.

>>279596615
Imagine the ever growing mental distress of Reiji if he was still trying to groom her until he could marry her.
>Rin is almost 16 but she still doesn't look like Aki
>Where is my replacement wife
