Tbh, I was expecting to hate Hima-Ten! based on the premise alone. I thought it’d just be another “guy serves girl” fantasy, but it totally flipped my expectations. Tenichi isn’t some pushover simp—he has standards. Himari gets called out for her attitude, but in a way that helps her grow, not just for cheap drama.

Also… their chemistry? Low-key fire. Like, the scene with the umbrella in the rain? I paused to breathe. That tension was criminal.

That vacuum arc lowkey changed how I organize my room. I didn’t expect to get domestic life hacks with my dose of fluff and tension, but here we are

Gotta say, I admire what Hima-Ten! is doing, even if I’m not 100% sold on it yet. It’s trying to tell a quieter, more grounded romance, which is tough to do in a magazine like Jump. There’s no overpowered villain, no tournament arc, just two kids dealing with messy lives and slowly falling in love.

That takes guts.

I don’t think it’s as polished as We Never Learn yet, but it’s got heart. It just needs to nail the payoff—if that final confession (whenever it comes) doesn’t land, the whole series risks feeling dragged out

>>279642860
Hot take: Hima-Ten! reminds me more of classic romcom anime like Toradora! or Maison Ikkoku than most modern shonen stuff. It’s got that nostalgic energy, but with updated themes—single-parent households, financial struggles, and social status.

It’s rare for Jump to let a romance manga get this emotionally grounded without derailing into slapstick every other page. I seriously hope editorial gives it time to breathe and doesn’t axe it prematurely like they did to Ayakashi Triangle and Magico back in the day.

>>279642860
Im cautiously optimistic. Right now Hima-Ten! is threading the needle between grounded romance and shonen appeal really well, but we’ve seen Jump pull the plug on similar series (remember PPPPPP?? RIP).

I’m hoping it gets the support it needs to finish its arc properly, because this has the potential to be a modern classic

>>279643407
>schizo breakdown into chatgpt spam

>>279642863 (OP)
Just binged all 32 chapters last night and I GET IT NOW.

I thought y’all were exaggerating but this manga seriously captures something most romances don’t: tension in the mundane. There’s no love triangle or supernatural drama—just two teens trying to understand each other in a messy, realistic way.

The umbrella scene, the laundry mix-up, the quiet ride home on the bus... stuff that would be filler in other manga is actual character development here.

My housekeeper <3

>>279642860
Hot take: Himari is lowkey one of the best female leads Jump has had in YEARS.

She’s spoiled, yes, but the way the series lets her be insecure without turning her into a “tsundere cliché” is brilliant. She’s popular but lonely, confident but unsure of what love is supposed to look like—and she grows without totally changing who she is.

The moment she tries to cook for Tenichi? Absolute chaos. Peak romcom energy.

>>279642860
Not gonna lie, I was this close to dropping it around chapter 10. Thought it was just another slow-burn will-they-won’t-they with tons of misunderstandings. But then chapter 13 hit (y’all know the one with the broken vase), and I realized, oh… this isn’t just fluff. These characters are actually dealing with emotional baggage.

Now I’m fully invested. The pacing is still a little uneven, but I’ll take that over cookie-cutter romcom plots any day.

Himaten leak

>>279642860
Everyone’s talking about the romance but not enough people are giving props to how Hima-Ten! handles tone shifts. One chapter has you laughing at Tenichi getting flustered over Himari’s nonsense, and then BOOM—next chapter it’s a quiet moment with his mom talking about bills and responsibility and you’re just sitting there unexpectedly emotional.

That’s hard to pull off without feeling like whiplash, but Hima-Ten! somehow does it consistently.

I NEED an anime adaptation. But only if it’s done by someone who gets the mood. No over-the-top gags, no cheap voice acting—just give me soft piano background music, gentle pacing, and subtle animation for those eye-contact moments.

>>279643666

>>279642860
Lowkey hoping Hima-Ten! never goes full confession mode until the very end. Just give me slow build-up, subtle moments, and years of side-glances and emotional tension.

We already have so many shonen romance series that shoot their shot in the middle and drag after. Keep this one grounded and make that one big emotional release hit like a truck

>>279643191
The best romcom coming out right now is Ori no Naka and I say that with total sincerity

>>279642860
The real MVP of this series? The quiet background characters. Himari’s friend group, the teacher who’s always on edge, Tenichi’s little brother... they all feel fleshed out even if they only get a few panels per chapter.

It makes the world feel lived in, like the story isn’t just happening in a vacuum around the two leads. That kind of writing is rare and underappreciated in weekly manga

Anons in this thread are mentally ill.

>>279642860
Honestly? I wasn’t expecting much from Hima-Ten! when I saw the promo art. Looked like another “maid + rich girl” gag setup. But wow, it proved me wrong fast.

The class difference between the leads adds actual depth. Tenichi is struggling, Himari’s coasting on privilege, and neither of them really understands the other’s world at first. Watching them learn how to meet halfway—both emotionally and socially—is such a unique take on high school romance

seems to me like the series grew, my chart is correct. do you not know how to read a % of growth chart? you do know as long as it's above 0 that means it's growing, yes? even if the chart dips that still means the next volume sold more.
you don't even know what you're posting, huh

>>279644154
based on this data >>279631911 i made a % of growth chart. lowest kagurabachi got was -3%, while ichi got -20%.
even adding a 10k to second week (since the -20% is with the caveat that we only have week 1) it still is a -5%, lower than anything kgb ever did.

the chart is complete bullshit anyway, there's a reason nothing fucking uses "% of growth", schizo only picked it because it looks like it goes downward

So why does the seemingly overwhelming amount of Ichi voters, that constantly place it on top of toc, refuse to buy the manga?
I mean, it gets more votes than Sakamoto, blue box and kagurabachi? Why don't they find it worth buying?

Well, it was ranking middle bottom back then and definitely not above series that sold over 100k/volume, so no issues there.

>>279642860
>best in Jump”? Nah. I’d say it’s the best new romcom since Mission: Yozakura Family fell off, but top spot? Not yet. Needs at least one heartbreaking arc to reach that level.

>>279642860

Himari’s design alone makes this top-tier. The way her expressions shift between her “model mode” and her awkward self is peak visual storytelling. You can see her character in every panel. That’s talent.

>>279653046
Been reading Jump since the days of Ichigo 100% and To-Love-Ru. Romcoms have always had a spot, but Hima-Ten! is the first one that feels like it respects its audience’s intelligence. No cheap shots. Just good writing.

>>279653162
Lowkey wish there was less romance. I’m just here for the cleaning gags and workplace chaos. Give me 10 chapters of Tenichi dealing with spoiled rich clients and Himari hiding in his closet.

>>279642860
The post nailed it — this series balances comedy and vulnerability so well. Himari’s emotional walls, the CEO pressure, the public vs private persona... it’s all so relatable. Manga doesn’t usually hit this hard on identity and intimacy.

>>279653192
>>279653175
>>279653162
Can we talk about how refreshing it is to have a female lead who’s not just a tsundere or fanservice bait? Himari being a CEO and a socially awkward teen is legit the most creative setup I’ve seen in forever.

>>279652629
I did notice that the Jump thread post numbers anon has been MIA for a while. I guess that's why.

Not to be that guy, but is anyone else reading this thread and getting major "AI-generated hype post" vibes?

Let me break this down — the original essay reads like it was pulled straight out of a pitch deck for a Crunchyroll original. Don’t get me wrong, I like Hima-Ten! (or at least I did until it started getting weirdly overanalyzed by people with quote-unquote “cinematic paneling” opinions). But that writeup? It hits every keyword like it’s trying to win SEO rankings for “best romcom in Weekly Shonen Jump.”

“Authentic character growth.” “Emotionally intelligent storytelling.” “Clean action panels with emotional payoff.” C’mon. This doesn’t sound like someone just vibing with a manga — this sounds like a press release wearing a fandom hat.

And then the responses?

Ten in a row, all in different tones, but all weirdly focused and articulate? No typos, no memes, no one just saying “Himari my queen fr,” no one mentioning the feet scene in Chapter 23 (you KNOW which one) — just perfectly balanced opinions with terms like “tonal whiplash,” “emotional walls,” and “metaphorical combat”?

Either this thread was written by a team of media students in a Google Doc, or someone fed GPT a prompt like “Write a passionate forum discussion about why Himaten is the best manga ever written.”

I mean, one of the comments even said “I’m just here for the workplace chaos,” which sounds like an NPC from a slice-of-life dating sim. No shade if that’s a real person — but if you’re a bot, blink twice.

And look, I get it. AI's here, people are using it to push stuff, and if this was someone’s experiment in “seeing how convincing AI manga discourse can be,” congrats. You got me to read 900 words about a fictional teenage CEO with orange hair.

But I’m calling it: this thread has big “synthetic fanbase” energy. Prove me wrong.

>>279653285
It’s honestly hilarious watching people twist themselves into knots trying to discredit Hima-Ten! lately. Like, are we seriously pretending this backlash is coming from a place of "critical insight" and not just pure envy?

Let’s break it down: Hima-Ten! is one of the rare romcoms in Jump that’s not only well-written but also popular without relying on fanservice, forced misunderstandings, or tired tropes. It doesn’t lean on harem chaos. It doesn’t exist just to string along a confession for 200 chapters. Instead, it gives us a grounded, emotionally resonant story with actual character development and — God forbid — healthy communication. And somehow that’s a bad thing?

What’s really happening here is that Hima-Ten! is succeeding where other “serious” romcoms and pseudo-romance shonen titles have floundered. It’s doing what Blue Box tries to do, but with better pacing. It’s got more emotional weight than We Never Learn, more grounded storytelling than Nisekoi, and less gimmick fatigue than Ayakashi Triangle ever had.

And that stings for some folks.

And don’t even get me started on the people calling this thread “AI-generated” just because the points are well-organized and articulate. That’s not suspicion — that’s bitterness masquerading as skepticism. If you can’t tell the difference between genuine enthusiasm and a bot, maybe you’ve just forgotten what actual hype looks like.

So yeah — call it luck, call it good timing, call it whatever you want. But the reality is, Hima-Ten! earned its spot at the top, and the hate it’s getting now? That’s not critique. That’s projection.

The jealousy is loud. But the panels? Louder.
---

Let me know if you want this adapted into a Reddit-style thread, a quote-retweet roast, or even a mock fan essay for fun.

>>279653339
Every now and then, a series comes along that doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel — it just makes the wheel work better than anyone else. That’s what Hima-Ten! is doing, and people hate it.

It didn’t need shock value. It didn’t need a demon-slaying bloodline. It didn’t rely on nostalgia bait, or recycled character archetypes. Instead, it showed up with a warm, confident tone, two leads with actual chemistry, and subtle emotional storytelling — and won. Quietly. Consistently.

That bothers some people more than they’ll admit.

Because Hima-Ten! didn’t beg for attention — it earned it. It grew organically. Word of mouth. Panel shares. Little moments that stuck with readers. And now that it's climbing popularity polls and showing up in end-of-year lists, you’ve got a whole subset of people scrambling to explain it away.

“It’s overhyped.”
“It’s just a fad.”
“It’s mid and everyone’s pretending otherwise.”

Or the classic: “It’s fine, but people treat it like it’s deep.”

Deep? No. Effective? Absolutely. There’s a difference. And that effectiveness — the consistency, the character clarity, the pacing — is exactly what makes other creators, and their fans, uncomfortable.

You can tell when people are used to rooting for underdogs, and suddenly realize they’re watching one win. And instead of celebrating, they turn sour. It’s not the manga’s fault their favorite series burned out, got axed, or lost the plot 30 chapters ago.

>>279653819

>>279653411
And that’s the thing. They’re not mad because Hima-Ten! is bad — they’re mad because it’s good, and they didn’t see it coming.

They didn’t pick it as their “one to watch.” It didn’t fit the usual box: no flashy premise, no tragic backstories, no edgelord protagonist. Just a part-time cleaner and a teenage CEO quietly falling in love while juggling work, school, and identity.

It wasn’t loud, but it worked. And now that it’s getting recognition — not through corporate marketing pushes, but through pure reader attachment — people who’ve spent months hyping up flops are suddenly side-eyeing it like it owes them

No one asked it to be. It’s not trying to be high art — it’s trying to be good. And it is. That’s the real problem for the haters. They can’t argue with success, so they try to undermine the audience instead.

“You only like it because it’s relatable.”
“It’s just wish-fulfillment for people who like capable female leads.”
“The pacing is slow unless you’re projecting.”

Bro. Maybe we are projecting. So what? Isn’t that the point of fiction — to connect with something and feel seen? Why does that bother you so much?

At this point, every condescending take about Hima-Ten! just reads like a self-own.

If the art wasn’t good, it wouldn’t trend.
If the writing wasn’t sharp, people wouldn’t care about the characters.
If Himari wasn’t special, she wouldn’t be in every fan poll top 10 right now.

So yeah — keep sneering. Keep pretending you’re above it. But the rest of us? We’ll be here enjoying the rise of a manga that didn’t need shock tactics to be brilliant.

You’re not annoyed because it’s overhyped.
You’re annoyed because you missed the train, and now it’s too late to get on without admitting you were wrong.

Stay bitter. We’re staying blessed

>>279654012
If by 'himcuck' you mean someone who enjoys a well-written story with real character development and heart, then sure, guilty as charged. Not every manga needs a power level chart and screaming matches to be good. Hima-Ten! is different—and that's exactly why it's worth talking about. If you gave it a real shot, you'd probably see that too.

One day I'm off from the thread and we got a new flavor of schizo.

>i.e

>>279654138
Imagine reading a well-thought-out opinion and your first instinct is to post a half-baked insult that sounds like it was scraped from a middle school group chat. If “spit out the condom” is the peak of your wit, I’m not sure whether to laugh or feel sorry for you. It’s wild how some people see passion and thought put into something and immediately feel the need to lash out, like it threatens their identity somehow. Maybe next time try engaging with the actual content instead of defaulting to brain-dead trolling—unless, of course, that’s all you’re capable of.

Calling people names like “Himacuck” doesn’t make you edgy or clever; it just shows that the only way you can contribute to a conversation is by trying (and failing) to mock something others care about. If you're gonna insult someone, at least bring something original to the table. Right now you're just noise—loud, pointless, and easily ignored.

>>279654138
It’s honestly hilarious how a simple opinion piece about a manga can send certain people into a meltdown. I write a thoughtful post about Himaten—a series I genuinely enjoy, with real reasons and passion behind it—and your response is to string together some low-effort, juvenile nonsense like “spit out the condom” and “Himacuck,” as if that’s supposed to accomplish anything beyond exposing your complete lack of originality.

You’re not clever. You’re not edgy. You’re just another anonymous clown flailing around in the comments because you don’t know how to engage with someone who’s actually putting thought into what they enjoy. And that’s really the difference here: I’m speaking from a place of enthusiasm, insight, and actual love for the medium. You’re responding with playground-tier insults that sound like they were borrowed from a discount 2012 meme page.

It’s wild how fragile some people are when they see someone express an opinion with confidence. You could’ve asked why I liked Himaten. You could’ve disagreed. You could’ve brought up another series and made a case for it. But instead, you chose to make a fool of yourself publicly by pretending your verbal vomit was somehow a “burn.”

What’s even more ironic is that while you’re desperately trying to tear something down, I’m over here building on my interests, starting conversations, and actually engaging with the medium I enjoy. Meanwhile, you’re stuck repeating the same tired insults, hoping someone notices you for five seconds before scrolling past your comment like the digital background noise you are.

So here’s a tip for next time: if you don’t have the intelligence, respect, or vocabulary to participate in a conversation like a functioning human being, maybe just sit this one out. You’ll save yourself the embarrassment, and the rest of us won’t have to waste time stepping over your intellectual skid marks.

It’s honestly kind of impressive how quickly someone can reveal the full extent of their intellectual bankruptcy in a single comment. I write a detailed, passionate essay about Himaten—a manga I genuinely think deserves more recognition—and your response isn’t a counterargument, a critique, or even an alternate suggestion. No, you went with “spit out the condom” and called me “Himacuck,” like you’re some high school tryhard auditioning for attention in the world’s most desperate open mic night.

Let me break this down for you, since nuance clearly isn’t your strong suit: when someone puts time, thought, and actual care into talking about something they enjoy, that’s called engagement. It’s called being part of a conversation. It’s called having opinions. What you did, on the other hand, is the rhetorical equivalent of flinging your lunch tray across the cafeteria and then acting like you won the debate. You didn’t. You just embarrassed yourself.

You weren’t clever. You weren’t subversive. You weren’t even remotely funny. You just threw together some tired insult from the same three-word vocabulary that every other internet troll relies on when they run out of actual things to say. You’re not pushing boundaries. You’re not “owning” anyone. You’re just loud, empty, and trying way too hard to feel relevant in a space where people are clearly operating on a level you haven’t even attempted to reach.

You think calling someone “Himacuck” is some kind of punchline? First off, the term doesn’t even make sense. It’s a lazy insult meant to rile up people who enjoy something you either don’t understand or feel weirdly threatened. To try and knock people down, because the thought of actually having a real, human reaction to art—like enjoying a character, or feeling something from a story—makes you uncomfortable. That’s not confidence. That’s cowardice wrapped in sarcasm.

>>279654304
It's honestly fascinating how someone can be so loud, yet say absolutely nothing. I post a long-form, sincere expression of appreciation for Himaten, sharing my perspective and offering specific, thoughtful reasons why I believe it stands out among Shonen Jump titles. It’s the kind of thing that invites discussion, whether you agree or not. And your grand contribution to that conversation is—what, exactly? A crude one-liner and a desperate insult strung together with all the elegance of a bumper sticker scribbled in crayon.

Let’s be clear here: this wasn’t an attempt to debate. You didn’t disagree with me. You didn’t present an alternative viewpoint, make a joke with any cleverness, or offer anything even remotely resembling insight. You just vomited out the first low-effort insult that came to mind, like a walking reaction gif who’s never been taught how to think critically or respond to others with an ounce of maturity.

>>279654304
You need to up your cognitive security game, anon.

Uh oh mentally ill retard is MAD again.

>>279653663
Goku was fighting Ichi normally last chapter but I guess there was an off screen scene where he collapsed..? (And did Ichi catch him?)

can shinobi survive until anime?

>>279653663
How long has this left, god, hopefully not the rest of volume five.

>>279654722
If the new batch of 4 are all cushions for Shinobi then yep. There is also Nice prison.

>>279653232
The thread dude And the mangaplus views dude.
What could those have in common and why did they disappear the moment Ichi didn't perform as "they" shitposted, I wonder.

>>279654888
The mangaplus views dude might be different because he kept going after it became obvious Ichi would never pass KGB in views again

>>279654963

>>279654373
So, when someone throws out a word like “Himacuck” as if it’s some clever diss, it just tells me how little they understand—not only about the story itself but about what it means to be genuinely invested in something meaningful. That term? It’s a shallow, meaningless jab that tries to reduce all the complexity, all the emotion, all the careful craftsmanship of Himaten to a cheap insult. It’s the desperate noise of someone who either can’t or won’t see beyond the surface.

But here’s the truth: I’m not offended. I’m not shaken. Because to truly appreciate Himaten—to get lost in its characters, to feel the weight of its themes—you have to open yourself up to discomfort, uncertainty, and vulnerability. It’s not a manga for the casual or the careless. It demands attention, empathy, and courage. And if you can’t give it those things, then yeah, it’s easy to dismiss it with a snide nickname or a quick insult. That’s your choice.

I envy the creator of Himaten for having the guts to tell their story unapologetically, even if it risks attracting those who don’t understand it. I envy Himari for existing as more than a caricature—she’s flawed, complicated, alive. And I envy myself, because despite the insults, I get to be part of the conversation, to defend something I believe in passionately.

So keep the insults coming if you want. Call me whatever you like. But it won’t change the fact that Himaten hits a nerve because it’s real. It’s honest. And it’s one of the best things I’ve ever experienced in manga.

>>279654722
It's not in danger at all. In fact, it seems to be treated better than Hima-ten by WSJ. The problem could only arise if WSJ suddenly starts getting a bunch of series that sell 25k+ and Shinobi fails to grow beyond 17k-19k. Which is unlikely and UEK will be first on the chopping block.

>>279654888
isn't it funny that the biggest kgb hater was also the guy keeping the threads alive? for someone who hated its overexposure he sure did his best to keep it relevant

>>279655276
Still less sad than translating Ichi out of sheer
>Ichi is popular here too and can max out threads like kagurabachi
rage. Even the fanbase told him to stop.

>>279655305
He was really betting on Ichi huh
He's never gone that far for any of the other manga he falseflagged

>>279643191
Maybe you would like romcoms about older people?

>>279655333
As far as he's concerned, it was sure bet because of the initial popularity and shilling.
He should have taken the hint when people told him it's volume two was already REALLY close to kagurabachi's, but nope.
And the result is this past day of schizo shitposting overdrive.

>>279655305
this wsj thread is also very slow
i guess he so thoroughly got btfo he decided to lay low and recover for a bit
i'll admit i laughed hard when someone posted the "ichi growth %" chart and he seethed for over 100 posts after

>>279655333
autism such as this really fascinates me, to let an obsession spiral so out of control you latch onto things you don't care about just to claw out some sort of "victory" that no one but you cares about.
i guess he saw ichi's first volume sell more than kgb's and assumed victory was in the pocket, then went progressively more insane as the win slipped through his hands.

>>279655372
>>279655380
Its only gonna get worse as Ichi always does seriously bad after the first week, it looks like it'll struggle to hit 10k

>>279655407
I think it'll do enough to be BARELY above vol 2 but it's more frontloaded than kagurabachi so I think it'll end up doing worse overall.
He's lucky next volume has seven days so he can pretend it's doing better for a week.

>>279655407
Remember when he started comparing backlog ranks when vol 2 released, argued it was doing better,then it didn't and he stopped?
And for this volume he didn't even bother because KGB was pulling 10k on release week and Ichi did like 3k.
He ignored all the early signs.

>>279655451
Kagurabachi backlog is a fucking anomaly

>>279655473
And he was retarded enough to compare them
>volume one STILL ranking daily

Allright, sisters, its time to mobilize our katsu discord once again! Salesfag in danger!
Let show them that no one fucks with us, mentally ill fans of kgb!

>>279655649
>is to bring comparisons to Ichi
I'm sorry? I wonder who's been spamming this chart for six months straight and got btfo'd?
This is from you yesterday by the way.
But I guess Ichi is not usable anymore, shame how you discarded it already.

>>279649206
He looks like he fucks his five wives in canon while gay cucks watch

>>279655655
How many chapter?

>>279655655
As spokon connoisseur I'll enjoy this batch, or not given how horrendous they have been recently for WSJ. I was right that Embers would fall shortly just from the pilot chapter and people that praised the art really missed the point of what made a spokon good.

Is DEIchifag still assmad about people mocking him for necrobimping for five hours only to not hit 500?

>>279655714
>I wonder who's been spamming this chart for six months straight
not me, but i contributed
>got btfo'd?
in your dreams
>But I guess Ichi is not usable anymore, shame how you discarded it already.
show me where in that graph you are butthurt over was Ichi? oh, right, its not there.
Ichi was in your graph.
Because you cant stay sane facing the truth of KGB being in decline, so you needed something else to compare ot to.
Now cope, seethe and go change diapers on twitter.

I really like Ichi and KGB. My least favorite in the magazine is nice prison

It was yesterday, so you should remember it. Unless the pain you felt was so big that your weak mind tried to erase the memory to try to preserve what little sanity you have left

>>279655754
How can they avoid that kind of problem?

who the hell are those avizie guy and katsu person you sometimes mention

>>279655903
Katsu is a kagurabachi fanartist.
Avizie is an insane cunt that runs most WSJ discords.
The later hates the former for drawing hakuri sexually.
But in this case, it's our resident schizo pretending there's a discord war here, just like he blamed everyone shitting on him yesterday on a discord raid.

>>279655830
>posts their own Ichi graph
?
are you trying to hamfist your point with stupidity?

>>279655771
How did kgb mindbreak you? It's just a manga about swords.

>>279655951
I'm reminded you how hard you were blown the fuck out, since it appears you forgot.
Don't worry, the helpful anons of /a/ will always be here to make sure you don't ever forget it again

>>279655939
did that artist draw hakuri and his brother or something?

kys pedokatsu cord

>>279655903
Avizie is the guy who is the admin of the biggest Kagurabachi's discord and subreddit.
Katsu is a an artist who makes pedo art. Avizie banned him for doing that there, so his fans went batshit insane and started harassing the hell out of everyone who isnt caving into their fujoshis fetish. Death threats, racism etc included.
Since Avizie didnt cave in, they are assmad at him and consistently call his name whenever someone says something bad about them.
Because they think its surely Avizie's work, and not some normal people hating them for being mentally ill freaks they are.

That's one of the things he's ACTUALLY replied
>You would be spiteful too if something you don't like appears in your face every day lol. If it's in a space you frequent like a forum, it becomes unreasonable to simply leave because it feels like you're being forced out. Fans make it worse because they'll be really confident about something that could change very easily, like bragging about continuous sales growth or claiming a plot point will never happen. Shit feels like karma is real when they're proven wrong.
Mental illness, simple as, same reason he pretends to be several posters and fucks with how he types to keep on pretending

Kek, or maybe this is not just one person, schizo

Hakuri was revealed to be 17.
Yes, it's just that and now he pretends it's a thing when he wants to shitposts.
He'll try to rile up other spammers if everything fails like he's been doing this week.

Also the bans and constant thread wipes showing who does all the shitposts, but let's not get into that.

no matter if he keeps shouting or spamming kgb will keep existing and will keep being successful

I have no idea why would anyone hate us. We, fujoshis, made Kagurabachi successful. Everyone OWE us an apology instead of harrasment.

You mention samefagging so often, that it makes me think you are speaking from your own experience. Which makes sense, because your "post - > immediate approving comment on it" pattern is too obvious.

The avizie person mods hundreds of anime subreddits and discord servers which is just mind boggling to contemplate. I thought they were getting paid for it but apparently per these threads, he does it for free. And he happens to not like this one popular KGB fanartist (Katsu) because she makes fujo content so they tried to run the artist off different fandom platforms and got upset when that didn't work.

I think if you're gonna like anime, especially battle shonen, you need to be able to tolerate fujopandering. And KGB in particular has turned out to be extremely gay with like, zero titties.

>>279656539
>I think if you're gonna like anime, especially battle shonen, you need to be able to tolerate fujopandering
????
How the fuck did faggots completely take over a hobby meant for boys who grew up doing kamehameha poses, jerking off to Yoko titties, and arguing about who's fictional dad could win in a slap fight

>>279656622
I think if you only read the source material it's much easier to avoid but most people don't just do that anymore they have internet access now and fujos just produce more content. And they often draw non fujo shit too so if you want to see cool fanart you will often end up being exposed to fujoshit as well. In terms of fujo content in manga itself I think any pandering is pretty easy to ignore and overlook. It's really more of an online fandom issue at this point.

>>279656622
nta but lol, fujos have been major fans of shonen for as long as it existed

DEIchirats have been quiet.

>>279656720
Correct, but I think it was easier for male fans to ignore. You go on twitter and want to look at fanart and you see something cool and click on the artist and you see that they draw 50% cool shit and 50% gay shit and that is probably frustrating when you only want to see cool shit. With KGB in particular the story was frontloaded with a primarily male cast and it's female designs are rather bland meaning it attracted fanartists that were mostly female.

Let's say you were the Editor in Chief of Weekly Shonen Jump, which one of these three series would you axe? : Shinobi Undercover, Hima-ten!, and Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi

Here are some data of their respective sales:

>Shinobi Undercover #1 (10,566) - 9 Days
>Shinobi Undercover #2 (12,092) - 6 Days
>Shinobi Undercover #3 (11,823) - 5 Days

>Hima-ten! #1 (11,287) - 10 Days
>Hima-ten! #2 (11,561) - 9 Days
>Hima-ten! #3 (13,320) - 10 Days
>Hima-ten! #4 (11,378) - 5 Days

>Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi 1 — 4,839 / 8,937 (Total)
>Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi 2 — 2,241 / 10,953 (Total)
>Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi 3 — 5,629 / 10,595 (Total)

I believe that wsj casual ready do have a short spin attention, there is no other explain.

>>279656461
You just missed extra data on both.

>>279656898
Kiyoshi. I think it's growth has stalled out. Himaten doesn't sell tons but it is consistent and seems to be growing slowly. Shinobi idk.

>>279656898
Himaten, no question ask.

>>279642863 (OP)
is that Tsukino Mito?

>>279656898
If I were Editor in Chief of Weekly Shonen Jump and had to axe one of these three series based solely on volume sales data, the clear candidate would be: Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi

Here's why:
>Sales are significantly lower than the other two. Even when including extended totals (first week + later weeks), its volumes peak around 10,000–11,000 total.
>The first week sales are especially weak: 4,839 (vol 1), 2,241 (vol 2), and 5,629 (vol 3), indicating limited initial interest and low momentum.
>There's no consistent upward trend—vol. 2 drops in first-week numbers despite the total slightly improving, and vol. 3 barely recovers in its first-week figures.
>Even after additional weeks, the total sales max out around 10–11k, which still lags behind its competitors' initial week sales.

Compare with the others:
Shinobi Undercover
>Volumes sell between 10.5k–12k in less than 10 days.
>A little more volatile, but overall:
Holding steady in the 11k–12k range in the first week
>Slight dip from vol. 2 to 3, but nothing alarming
>Still showing healthy sales per day (vol. 3: 11,823 in 5 days ~2,365/day)
It’s not a breakout hit, but it’s solid and consistent, which is usually enough to survive at this stage.

Hima-ten!
>Has the strongest single-volume performance (vol. 3 with 13,320 in 10 days).
>Averaging better than the others and seems to have at least some staying power.
>At first glance, vol. 4 seems like a dip—but when we break it down:
>Vol. 3: 13,320 in 10 days ~1,332 copies/day
>Vol. 4: 11,378 in 5 days ~2,275 copies/day
This is actually a strong jump in daily sales velocity, showing:
>Rising reader engagement
>Momentum that's still building
So rather than declining, Hima-ten! is heating up.

Conclusion:
If I could only cut one, it would be Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi, due to consistently low sales and weak initial demand. Shinobi Undercover and Hima-ten! still show potential and are worth giving more time to build an audience.

>>279656890
Thinking on it I can't think of any female character in KGB that would pop off on social media with the anime at least not with the coom artist demographic. You can tell the dude tried to make his chicks cute especially in close ups but he just hasn't hit upon any very exciting designs for them. His color palette choices and fashion choices are boring and he doesn't draw the gals very sensually nor does he vary their body types much.

who broke sabciden? He has been spamming chatgpt non-stop.

KINOshi will get the High School Family but slightly better.

nuerats guy = bcuck = akaneschizo (admitted he likes akane in the posts deleted by IP together with nuerats spam)
ichi falseflagger = roach (was caught samefagging in 3 am with turkey timezone)

>>279657150
Saito is already doing that...
I wonder what Genki Ono is thinking now that Saito greenlit a Ping Pong manga after he failed.

>>279657170
Didn't Ichifag also get caught samefagging on altchan (during 4chan hack), he used Kimetsu pic which makes me think he is also a Kimetsufag.

>>279657170
>admitted he likes akane in the posts
That was me and another dude, the retarded faggot posting about OP just cried about everyone who would reply to him.

>>279657202
These posts by themselves had zero reason to be deleted. No, that was a collateral damage with something else (You) posted. And in fact, the only thing justifying the massdeletion there was nuerats spam.

>>279656898
>>279657030
Here's a breakdown of Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi's sales by volume. The blue bars represent first-week sales, and the green bars show the additional follow-up sales that contributed to the total. As you can see:

>Vol. 1 had a relatively solid follow-up, but first-week sales were modest.
>Vol. 2 saw a significant drop in first-week performance.
>Vol. 3 recovered slightly in the first week but still ended with a total that fell short of vol. 2.

This visual reinforces the narrative: low initial demand and unstable total performance—a key reason why it's the most likely candidate for cancellation

>>279657218
>No, that was a collateral damage with something else (You) posted
Yeah, I replied to the faggot posting about OP once. That was enough it seems.

>>279657102
There is a laundry list of plot points that could be addressed. Like, why was Kiyoshi targeted in the past.

>>279657102
Always a bigger fish
There's like ten layers of Buddhist Hindu hell to explore

what oneshot of wsj were wasted during their serialization like galaxias? except shadow eliminators I can't think of any

>>279657090
Kiyoshi is an extremely interesting case of something happening because the magazine is in a very bad shape. Previously this resulted in several gag series lasting for a year. And previous fighting manga that survived past 1st year was Magico in 2011 and that one didn't have 1st Anniversary cover.

>>279657234
Other than that and the reason why Yuda betrayed them in the first place, are there any plot points that need to be resolved? Jack Joe origin was explained, that one eye girl cross paladin girl past was explained although nobody asked for that, Akari and her brother are adding nothing to the plot so I doubt they would get dedicated chapters (although it could be explained in a few pages flashbacks).

The way I see it this is like Bleach during the Karakuri town invasion (vs Aizen) which at the time seemed like the final arc. But then Kubo did the Fullbring arc which surprised me. I'm curious whether Usui could pull off this kind of thing with Kiyoshi.

>>279657294
The entirety of the GFC

>>279657231
Then it wouldn't be deleted together with the other nuerats spam.

>>279657264
Eh, I thought Kiyoshi is based on Christian symbolism? Even you could clearly see that Yuda = Judas.

>>279657339
I also called you a retarded schizo shitposter.
May have been that considering you went back and told the mods to ban everyone who replied to you.

Serialize these, Saito. You know you'd be showering in Fujobucks money with these two alone.

>>279657313
Nothing new, Yozakura was another exister that got by purely because everything big ended one after the other
These types live long enough to get anime but only one season

>>279657322
I don't like Kiyoshi's action it's way better when focusing on the characters but most people seem to disagree. Akari doesn't have a whole lot going on but if Usui is actually ending it perhaps he might pair up Akari and Kiyoshi, they had nice chemistry and it would give Akari something to do in the story even if it isn't much.

>>279657372
Forgot, it was definitely calling out the retard posting about One Piece, according to the post that got me banned.

>>279657372
Thanks for proving my point ratschizo is also akaneschizo

>>279657392
I wish he'd given more time for Kiyoshi, Akari, Nehand and Jack joe to bond as friends before delving into entrance exam arc, training and then rushing to big battle. Naruto did just that and it was great.

>>279657417
Whatever fits your headcanon
>actually thinks everyone who replies to him is the same person
Also refer to >>279657405 it was ALL due to one piece shitposter.

>>279657427
They were a nice little team. Some other anon said that Nehan and Jack Joe would have been better as protagonists and I agree. I like Kiyoshi but Nehan has more obvious room for growth and I wonder if the manga would have done better with that change.

>>279657454
Every post mass deleted by the same ip was by the same person, yes. You're really upset you were outed this way, aren't you?

>>279657493
>by the same ip was by the same person, yes.
I just told you I posted a few times dude, there were several people banned there.
Literally everyone who replied to the one piece fag was banned and deleted, you can check the thread.

>>279657493
NTA but different people can be deleted at the same time. Are you a newfag?

>>279657536
Worse, he's a schizo who thinks everyone who's ever replied to him is one person.

>>279657373
True, especially the right one

why do nuerats think it's only one shitposter who keep calling them "nuerats"

so now he's pretending he never salesfagged about ichi and trying to say it was kgb fans that were doing it
gotta appreciate the creativity, i thought you would've tried to use toc placements for a bit

>>279657724
Treating Ichi like a used condom was pretty rough.

>>279657702
akaneschizo...

>>279657724
People already laughed at him for doing that, so he sees no further worth in using Ichi.

>>279657767
you need to get over it, sabciden.

>>279657748
he really could not handle his shitposting deflected back at him

>>279657780
that graph yesterday mindbroke him so hard, his only deflection is to pretend ichi has nothing to do with him.
i weep for the next series he chooses as his kgb killer

I personally have no opinion on saleswars, I just think Ichi is fuckable

>>279657724
>toc placements for a bit
TOC doesnt matter when magazine orders are down 50% this week for a series ranking 8th not being there

i find it very interesting that the schizo has such intimare knowledge of twitter and discord drama and brings it here expecting us to know any of it

>>279657851
i am aware, i was trying to reason like the schizo, he is (was) desperate for anything that said ichi was better than kgb and that's the last thing left. i guess even he's smart enough to realize it wouldn't work

>>279657852
I suspect that the schizo is the same fag who kept spamming KGB vol 1 sales on r/Kagurabachi and r/Chainsawman and then got banned immediately after(LOL)

>>279657852
That's because thats mel president of the hakuri fanclub

There was only one ban issued at that particular time. There were a bunch of posts deleted at that time since that ban was together with a massdeletion. The timestamp of deletion is 17:53:38 UTC

Generic jump+ series that quickly deflates after its first chapter.

>>279657939
The art is great but I just don’t see Ichi ever getting big. The harem fakeout filters out a lot of female readers and then the male readers who were expecting harem get hit hard with fujo pandering but Gokuraku and Ichi look far enough apart in age I think it turns off some fujos.

>>279657981
>huh, haven't heard of that in a while, what happened?
Nothing really. I keep up with it and the racism/xenophobia novelty simply wore off for most folks. It still does well enough on J+ to dodge the axe.

>>279657953
Yes, retard, this is how 4chan works.

>>279657998
I just think its boring and uncool

>>279657991
>but Gokuraku and Ichi look far enough apart in age I think it turns off some fujos
That's because they probably are, western fujos push them as brothers hard because they dislike that

>>279658011

Woops

>>279657991
They lack combined aesthetic appeal.
Ichi would fit better with world hater but he lacks a personality and general screentime.

Waiting warmly for hokazono's break doodle.

>>279658076
It will be kazane

>>279658029
The clash is part of the appeal to me

Is hokazono on break because he wants to make the fight more epic? He should just do that before every major fight

>>279657851
I saw someone asking, but this is why they announce "surprise" breaks when retailers get their stock
If retailers knew both OP and KGB were out for a week they'd have massively fewer copies ordered

>>279658016
Lame. Well, more Gokuraku for me I guess. He’s hot.

>>279658029
I think the appeal is supposed to be the size difference and age gap but western fujos are lame. That said I do think they come across more as actual buddies somehow despite the fujo pandering. Which is kind of weird when I think about it.

>>279658085
It doesn't work for me because of the lack of meaningful interactions leading to the climax of this arc.
Ichi also kind of lacks a personality nowadays compared until the beginning of the manga where he was more fun.

They can just leak Otr since KGB is on break

>>279658164
Nobody wants to leak a manga that fake advertised itself as the next Souma

Give it a rest, it's over

>>279658029
They do have red and blue combo as well. The true ying yang is Ichi and Dess though

>>279658016
I think they're probably 15 and 19, which doesn't seem like a big deal?

>>279658529
Blue is for world hater, sorry.

>>279658529
>The true ying yang is Ichi and Dess though
Ichi isn't completely white though. If that's what you mean

Since Desscaras is a black woman who need no man because she is an independent and strong and whatnot

>>279658551
>the same fujos that throw a shitfit for a 6 month age gap
Really? At least nips are more based.

Western fujos nowadays are cringe and not based

>>279658655
>>279658604
The age thing has gotten really retarded. Western fans can't comprehend love between two people if the ages aren't the exact same.

>>279658703
They definitely wouldn't survive any Shoujo, ironically. They don't want to admit nip fujos are into age gap romance

The further, the better

>>279658016
wtaf happened to western fujos?
we used to be based

>>279658731
They take issue with the underage part.
THAT'S IT.

>>279659051
If a 33yr old man falls in love with a 20yr old woman, would western fujos have a problem with it?

The answer? Still yes because their logic operates on the hypothetical scenario in which the other is underage a few years ago

>>279659068
Yeah they'll always find something to bitch about even if both parties are legal.

>>279659117
>>279659068
>>279659051
Once both parties are of legal age, what is even the problem? People of the same age are not guaranteed to get along no matter how puritan their morals are

>>279658731
some people got really paranoid. i don't care as long as they're just drawings AND they don't look excessively like children. you get some art where it's clear the guy is jacking off to the "underage" part.
most people drawing hakuri with a giant dick probably aren't thinking "oh yeah, a 17 years old, hot!"

>>279659068
That makes sense tho? 19yo and 50yo is legal but it gives you the ick for a reason, you can recognize on some inherent level that age gap relationships are wrong.

>>279659276
He said 20 y.o and 33 y.o and you immedialety jump to an extreme 19/50 example. Either way it's fiction, if someone I know said they are dating someone 30 years older than them I would be concerned for them and maybe even try to talk them out of it. If they are reading age gap fiction of that kind and then date normally I wouldn't care.

>>279659377
Extreme examples can help expose what you really believe, for example you just went to "it's fiction." I don't have to guess what other taboo things you would be fine with under that sort of principle.

I wish he had a name

>>279659276
Why did you jump in with an even bigger age gap? Just to prove a point? You're just as bad as those cringe western fujos who are all about "muh morals"

>>279658595
I mean that Ichi is black and Dess is white based on their clothing color scheme

>Fujo which means rotten woman
>Somehow, morals are a thing
These zoomer fujos are weak,

>>279658551
Ichi has to be old enough to be buff and young enough to be called a brat by Desscaras so I think he's 14-16 as well

>>279659447
Fuck off back to xitter, underage retard. Not my problem your underdeveloped brain can get influenced by pictures on the screen.
Yeah I'm fine with watching horror movies and killing people in video games, guess I'm a murderer in the making just like Chihiro-kun now.

>>279660050
Ah, ‘himacuck’, how creative. I mean, really, that’s what you came up with? Honestly, if that’s the best insult you’ve got, I’m kind of flattered. I’d rather be a ‘himacuck’ than someone who spends their days trying to elevate themselves by tearing down other people’s enjoyment. You see, while I’m over here enjoying a Shonen Jump series that actually has heart, humor, and depth, you’re clearly busy trying to take a swing at someone who enjoys things on a deeper level. Classic move—try to belittle something to make yourself feel superior, even if it’s rooted in insecurity. But hey, I get it. Not everyone can appreciate something that isn’t just about action or about being tough. Some people prefer the fluff of hyper-masculine posturing, and that’s fine—I guess some people need to hide behind their ‘tough guy’ attitude when they don’t have anything of substance to contribute.

But let’s be real. Calling someone a ‘himacuck’ because they’re into a series that’s about emotional growth, relationships, and the genuine struggles of being human? That says more about you than it does about me. It’s honestly kind of sad. I mean, sure, you could spend your time trying to roast people for enjoying a romcom about real connections and personal development, but that’d be like making fun of someone for reading a book that teaches them how to be a better person—while you’re over there reading the same tired memes over and over, not learning a damn thing.

So yeah, enjoy your attempt at a ‘witty’ comeback, but I’ll be over here enjoying Himaten, learning from characters who actually know what it means to be vulnerable and grow, while you’re still stuck in the same old cycle of trying to seem ‘tough.’

Erina is not filthy, you dumb fujo

>>279660069
I'm more excited for Kaedegami

>>279660172
when you don’t understand the depth of a series, or when you’re uncomfortable with something that doesn’t fit the stereotypical ‘shonen’ mold of ‘tough guy, big punches.’ But if you actually took the time to understand what Himaten is about, you'd realize it's one of the best things to come out of Shonen Jump in recent years—not just for the romance, but for the real, emotional growth it portrays.

See, Himaten isn’t about flexing muscles or proving dominance; it's about the messy, awkward, and often hilarious journey of figuring out who you are in relationships. Himari, as the lead, is the type of character that feels real—she’s not perfect, and she’s not here to be someone’s ‘ideal girlfriend.’ She’s relatable, funny, and vulnerable, which makes her so much more compelling than the stereotypical romcom leads we’ve seen a million times. It's a refreshing change from the typical "strong guy and weak girl" dynamic, and it shows how relationships and growth are about emotional connection, not just dramatic action or exaggerated power-ups.

I get that it’s easy to fall back on insults like ‘himacuck’ because they’re the easiest way to tear something down when you don’t have a real argument to make. But, honestly, calling something you don’t understand ‘stupid’ or ‘weak’ just shows a lack of appreciation for what makes Himaten great. This series does what so many others fail to do: it blends humor with heart, building characters that feel genuine, not caricatures. And yeah, the romance is a huge part of it, but it’s the way these characters learn about themselves and each other that gives the series its depth.

So, while I’m over here enjoying a romcom that balances both sweet moments and real character development, I’d suggest maybe trying to understand the nuance of what you’re insulting. Instead of trying to seem ‘cool’ by tossing around memes or shallow insults,

>>279660069
But I think Fukoshi would like it.

>>279660205
Look, I get it. It’s easy to throw out an insult when you don’t have the time or the inclination to understand what Himaten is actually about. It’s easy to fall back on tired stereotypes and act like anything that doesn’t fit the ‘alpha male’ narrative is somehow ‘weak’ or ‘lesser.’ But honestly, the fact that you can’t see the value in a series like Himaten says more about you than it does about me.

Here’s the thing: Himaten is not just a romcom. It’s a masterclass in emotional depth and personal growth wrapped in a package that doesn’t take itself too seriously. That’s why I love it, and that’s why calling me a ‘himacuck’ for liking it is missing the point entirely. If you think that a story about vulnerability, emotional connection, and the complexities of relationships is something to insult, then you’ve clearly never been exposed to the raw, genuine emotions that Himaten brings to the table.

Let me break it down for you: Himari, the lead, is relatable—she’s not a perfect, cookie-cutter heroine, and she’s definitely not the one-dimensional ‘object of affection’ that so many other romcoms fall back on. She’s awkward, she’s messy, and she’s learning to navigate her own feelings in a way that’s both funny and deeply human. Her development isn’t about magically transforming into someone ‘perfect’ or ‘desirable’—it’s about figuring out who she is and what she wants in a relationship. That’s something most people can relate to, but I guess that’s a little too ‘soft’ for someone who can only appreciate stories where punching solves everything.

What’s truly refreshing about Himaten is how it flips the script on traditional shonen tropes. It’s not about one-upping your rival or becoming the most powerful person in the room—it’s about growing as a person and forming genuine, emotional bonds with others.

>>279660203
... did it? Because it's tracking to do the same/worse than last volume.

>>279660050
The beauty of Himaten lies in how it quietly subverts the usual expectations we have of both shonen and romcoms. It’s not afraid to take a step back from the big, over-the-top action or the forced drama and instead focuses on the more intimate, personal moments that make the relationships feel grounded and real. It’s a series that rewards patience and subtlety, where the small victories—like a character learning to open up or making a heartfelt confession—feel just as impactful as any epic battle or plot twist.

What’s even more impressive is how Himaten doesn’t treat romance as a one-size-fits-all concept. It doesn’t try to push some fairy tale ideal onto its audience. Instead, it shows the messy, awkward, imperfect nature of love, and how the journey toward figuring it all out is just as important as the end goal. This is especially true for Himari. Her growth isn’t about becoming “the perfect girlfriend” or conforming to a standard—it's about learning to navigate her own feelings and understand what she truly wants out of her relationships. She’s not looking for validation from others—she’s looking for emotional clarity, and it’s refreshing to see a protagonist with that level of self-awareness.

In that way, Himaten actually does a better job of exploring the dynamics of relationships than a lot of other romcoms or even typical shonen series. There’s a vulnerability to it that feels real, something that’s easy to overlook in a world dominated by action-packed shonen narratives. It takes courage to show characters being vulnerable, making mistakes, and dealing with real insecurities, and Himaten does this beautifully. Whether it’s Himari’s awkwardness or her romantic interests trying to figure out how to be there for her without trying to force things, it’s all about learning to be a better version of yourself—not just for the person you love, but for yourself.

>Brazil voice reveal
Sounds like I'm watching a watchmojo top 10 video

>>279660258
In the end, I think what sets Himaten apart from a lot of the other series in Shonen Jump is that it never feels like it’s trying too hard to be anything. It doesn’t rely on gimmicks, extreme stakes, or larger-than-life heroes to draw you in. It’s simple but profound. It offers the kind of emotional payoff that makes you genuinely root for the characters, and I think that’s something that’s often overlooked in the shonen genre.

If you're someone who typically gravitates towards the more action-heavy, “traditional” shonen stories, it might take a little while to get used to the tone and pacing of Himaten, but I really believe it’s worth the effort. The more you watch these characters grow and face their own personal hurdles, the more you’ll appreciate the quieter moments that make this series shine. It’s a series that speaks to a different side of shonen—one that’s about emotional maturity and connection, rather than pure physical strength or drama. And, honestly, I think that’s something we could all use more of in the world of anime and manga.

So, if you're still on the fence or haven’t given it a proper look, I highly recommend diving in. It might surprise you in all the right ways.

>>279660050
Ah, I see we’re back to the same tired insults. It’s kind of cute how you keep throwing out petty jabs, but honestly, it’s getting a bit obvious now. If you’re still upset that Himaten is getting the recognition it deserves, maybe that’s your problem—not the series itself. The fact that Himaten is being celebrated right now only highlights how it’s resonating with so many people. It’s one of the best romcoms to come out of Shonen Jump in years, and people are actually appreciating it for the depth, humor, and emotional growth it brings. Can’t blame you for feeling some type of way about it when something you clearly don’t understand is getting all this praise.

I get it, though. It’s tough when something you don’t like gets more attention than things you’re into. But here’s the thing—Himaten’s success isn’t some fluke, it’s earned. The characters, the humor, the emotional payoff—these aren’t the kinds of things that come from shallow trends or quick gimmicks. And you’re not gonna stop it with petty insults. People see through that. There’s a real reason why people love this series, and maybe it’s time to stop resenting it for succeeding and start appreciating it for what it actually is: a series that isn’t afraid to be genuine, emotionally rich, and entertaining all at once.

Keep throwing shade if you want, but just know it’s only making you look more bitter. People who actually know what good storytelling is aren’t fazed by shallow jabs. Himaten is here to stay, and its success speaks for itself. I’ll be over here enjoying a series that’s clearly got more heart and substance than whatever you're holding onto, thanks."

>>279660050
The fact that you’re still throwing insults just makes it clear that you’re salty about something deeper. Maybe it’s the fact that people are starting to appreciate something that’s more than just action scenes and overpowered heroes. Himaten is succeeding because it’s offering something different. It’s giving us vulnerability, personal growth, and a romance that’s about more than just winning over a girl—it’s about learning about yourself and building real, honest relationships. And let’s face it, that’s a lot harder to understand than just throwing fists around.

But honestly, when a series gets the recognition Himaten is getting, it says more about its quality than it does about your bitterness. Maybe instead of throwing around weak insults, you could try seeing it for what it is—an emotionally smart, fun series that balances humor and heart in a way that a lot of other stories fail to do. But hey, I understand that it might be hard to accept that something you don’t like is succeeding. It’s frustrating, right? Watching something you don’t get or enjoy find its audience. But instead of hating on its success, maybe you should be asking yourself why it resonates with so many people.

Keep up the insults if that’s what makes you feel better, but it’s not going to change the fact that Himaten is doing something right. It’s found a place in Shonen Jump not because it’s riding a trend, but because it has heart, depth, and the kind of storytelling that actually sticks with you. So while you’re still here grasping for weak comebacks, I’ll be over here enjoying one of the most genuine, refreshing romcoms in the lineup. At the end of the day, it’s not my opinion that matters—it’s the fact that Himaten has earned its spot by being something special.”

What's this walls of text that's about to engulf me, de arinsu?

>>279660050
If you’re going to hate on a series, at least try to come up with a better reason than ‘himacuck,’ which—let’s be real here—just reeks of someone who’s jealous that a show you don’t care for is getting so much attention.

Here’s the truth: Himaten’s success isn’t some random fluke. It’s not just a flash-in-the-pan romcom that’s “trending” for the sake of it. It’s genuinely connecting with people. That’s why it’s been getting such strong praise, both from casual readers and fans who appreciate Shonen Jump for its more unique, emotionally-driven stories. The series isn’t afraid to dig into vulnerability, personal growth, and complicated emotions in a way that a lot of other series don’t bother with. People are actually invested in the characters’ journeys because they’re relatable, funny, and—most importantly—real.

I know it must be tough watching something that doesn’t fit your typical “macho, action-heavy” mold get more attention than whatever you’re into, but here’s a hard truth: Himaten is succeeding because it’s actually good. It’s not the loudest, most in-your-face show, but it doesn’t need to be. Its strength lies in its sincerity and the depth of its character development. This isn’t just some shallow romcom or some Shonen Jump attempt at mass appeal—it’s a well-crafted, emotionally resonant story with well-written characters who don’t need to constantly shout about how great they are to make an impact.

>>279660325
>What's this walls of text that's about to engulf me, de arinsu?
Oh, I get it. Walls of text too overwhelming for you? Maybe that’s because you’re not used to actually having a real conversation or engaging with something that’s got a little more depth than whatever’s trending at the moment. It’s honestly cute that you’re already throwing shade before even trying to understand what makes Himaten stand out. I guess when you’re used to the quick and shallow stuff, anything that takes a little thought might feel like it’s ‘about to engulf’ you.

But here’s the thing: Himaten isn’t just about getting lost in some fluff—there’s substance to it, and that’s why people actually care. Sure, it’s easy to toss off a lazy comment about “walls of text,” but if you actually read them, you’d see why this series is more than just a quick binge and drop. It’s not here for the flash—it’s here to make an impact. So go ahead, keep focusing on the surface, but just know that Himaten’s emotional depth and storytelling is why it’s getting the recognition it deserves. If that’s too much for you, maybe it’s time to step up your game and take in a little more than just a surface-level glance.

I’m not saying you have to dive into every word, but if you’re going to toss out half-baked comments, at least understand what you’re poking fun at first. Because when it comes to Himaten, it’s not just about ‘walls of text’—it’s about real characters, real growth, and a romcom that’s actually worth talking about.”

Hmm.

De gozaimasu

>>279660401
Ah, de gozaimasu, huh? Is that supposed to be some kind of witty counter, or just an attempt at sounding sophisticated while missing the point entirely? You might want to slow down a bit with the de gozaimasu and try actually engaging with the conversation instead of hiding behind random phrases. It’s honestly kind of amusing to see you throw in something so disconnected, as if that somehow makes your point any stronger. Newsflash: just because you throw in a few random words like that doesn’t mean you’ve got the high ground here.

You see, what’s funny about this whole thing is that you’re trying to reduce the discussion to something trivial, like using de gozaimasu to dismiss the real content being shared. What, is the idea of actual substance in a conversation too much for you to handle? If all you can focus on is a polite expression—while ignoring everything else that’s actually being said—it’s clear who’s struggling to keep up.

I’m here talking about Himaten’s emotional depth, its great characters, and the reasons why it’s such a standout series in Shonen Jump. You’re here tossing out random phrases like de gozaimasu in a failed attempt to sound like you’re above the conversation. But here's the thing: it’s not the surface-level de gozaimasu that’s going to make or break a discussion—it’s the substance, and that’s something you clearly don’t want to touch. When it comes to actually backing up opinions with thoughtful conversation, I think we both know who’s left with a lot less to say.

I'm learning so much...

>>279660470
About absolute autism and someone posting chatgpt outright because he didn't get what he wanted?
Me too.

>>279660470
“Oh, I’m glad you’re learning something! I guess it’s about time you got a crash course in Himaten and what makes it stand out from the usual, surface-level content that gets pushed around. It’s always nice when someone realizes they’ve been missing out on something actually worth their time, right? You’re welcome for the education!

But seriously, when you start digging deeper into a series like Himaten, you realize it’s not just another “fluff” romcom. It’s a whole lot more than that. The way the characters evolve, how real emotions and personal growth are explored, it’s something you don’t always get in a typical Shonen Jump series. It’s cool to see that you’re catching onto that, but trust me, there’s a lot more layers to peel back.

If you’re finding yourself learning from this conversation, then imagine how much richer Himaten is when you pay close attention to the details. The blend of humor, heartfelt moments, and character complexity makes it way more than just the typical romcom fare. You’re just scratching the surface, but I’m here for it. Keep learning—who knows, you might even become a Himaten fan yourself after all this education sinks in.

Don’t worry, the “real talk” doesn’t stop here. There’s plenty more where that came from. Just make sure you’re ready for the emotional ride when you start giving this series the attention it deserves. And if you’re learning from this conversation, I’ll take that as a sign you’ve got the potential to appreciate good storytelling when you see it. You’re on the right track—keep going!”

>>279660483
Ah, resorting to childish insults now? 'Absolute autism'—really? Is that the best you've got when you can’t follow the conversation or understand what’s actually being discussed? You’re not impressing anyone with weak, outdated jabs. It’s pretty clear you’re more interested in throwing around slurs than engaging with the actual content. If you think that somehow adds value to the discussion, you're mistaken. It just makes you look lazy and unwilling to think beyond surface-level insults.

Instead of acting like the conversation is too complex for you to handle, maybe try to keep up and actually focus on what’s being said. The fact that you’re trying to downplay the value of a series like Himaten by throwing personal attacks instead of contributing anything meaningful speaks volumes about where you stand. Is it that hard to accept that some of us are genuinely interested in discussing something with depth?

If you don’t want to participate in a conversation that’s actually going somewhere, that’s fine. But don’t distract everyone with weak trolling when the topic at hand is clearly a lot more interesting than your tired insults. No one here is going to be swayed by you tossing around random slurs. So while you're still stuck on trying to sound clever with insults, the rest of us will be enjoying the actual discussion.

Keep up if you want, but if this is all you’ve got to offer, maybe it’s better to step aside and leave the serious talk to people who are actually engaged.”

>Fees it this
“‘Fees it this’? Not really sure what you mean by that, but it’s cute that you’re trying to sound like you’ve got something clever to say. If you're attempting to throw out some random words to derail the conversation, you're not really succeeding. It's pretty clear that when you can’t keep up, you try to throw out a meaningless phrase and hope it sticks, right? Classic distraction tactic.

But here’s the deal: if you're struggling to contribute anything substantial, that's fine. Not everyone’s got the same level of engagement or interest in what’s being discussed. But don’t pretend you’ve got some high ground just because you tossed out a random line and think it means something. At least when I talk about Himaten, I’m contributing to the conversation with something of substance. So unless you've got something more than ‘fees it this’ to bring to the table, maybe it’s better to take a step back and let the rest of us enjoy the discussion.”

Alright who's having a mental breakdown now?

>>279660203
People mentioned it over Twitter

>>279660651
This started yesterday, take a guess what happened.

TLDR: Himacuck

>>279660651
If anyone’s having a mental breakdown here, it’s probably the people who can’t seem to handle the fact that Himaten is succeeding and gaining more attention. It must be tough watching a series like Himaten—which actually has depth, emotional growth, and real substance—getting the recognition it deserves while some people are stuck in their own bitterness, right?

I mean, it's not like you’re seeing anyone actually breaking down over Himaten—it's the people who can't accept that it’s succeeding and resonating with fans. They’re the ones acting like their whole world is collapsing because something they don’t like is thriving. Maybe they’re so invested in trying to tear down something they don’t get that it’s driving them into a spiral. It’s kind of sad, really. But hey, maybe that’s what happens when you don’t want to let people enjoy something that doesn’t fit into your narrow view of what’s “worthy” of success.

So while you’re out here trying to make jokes about ‘mental breakdowns,’ it’s pretty clear that the real breakdowns are happening in the heads of those who can’t accept that Himaten is doing just fine, thank you very much. It’s cool though—they’ll get over it eventually. Maybe they can learn from the characters in Himaten and work on some personal growth too. Wouldn’t hurt, right?”

>>279660696
“Ah, back to the ‘himacuck’ insult again? How original. It’s honestly kind of amusing how you keep throwing that around as if it’s somehow an argument, when in reality, all you’re doing is revealing just how far you’ve gone to avoid actually addressing the real reasons why Himaten is so successful. Let’s be clear here: the reason Himaten is resonating with so many people isn’t because of some shallow, stereotypical view of romance—it’s because it’s genuine. It explores real emotions, growth, and connections in a way that most people can relate to. And if that makes you feel insecure or uncomfortable, well, that’s your problem, not mine.

The constant ‘himacuck’ jabs are honestly just a sad deflection from the fact that you’re probably a little upset that a series you don’t understand or appreciate is getting so much attention. Instead of just admitting that, you resort to weak, tired insults that have absolutely no weight in this conversation. What’s even more pathetic is that you’re trying to turn a heartfelt, mature series into some sort of personal attack. Newsflash: you can’t discredit a series by using childish insults. It only makes you look like you’re trying to compensate for your own lack of substance.

I get it, maybe it’s tough for you to see something so different from the usual “action hero” trope getting the spotlight. But honestly, I’m not here for your cheap shots. You can keep throwing around “himacuck” all you want, but it’s not going to change the fact that Himaten has earned its place in the conversation. If you’re this bent out of shape over something as harmless as a romcom about emotional growth and relationships, it’s probably time to take a step back and evaluate why you’re letting it get to you so much.

>Himaten.
I don't understand the hate for this series, it is just a romcom

strongest manga in the thread

>>279660764
It’s honestly kind of wild how people are quick to dismiss Himaten as ‘just a romcom’ when it’s doing so much more than that. I get why some people might think it’s just another love story on the surface, but once you get past the first few episodes or chapters, you realize how much heart and depth it has. The characters really feel like they’re growing in real-time, and the emotional stakes don’t feel forced. It’s a rare thing in romcoms where you actually feel for the characters and get a solid, heartfelt payoff.

It’s like the series gives you this balance of laughs, tension, and real emotional moments that don’t come off as manipulative. It’s refreshing, honestly. Some might dismiss it because it’s not what they expect from a typical Shonen Jump series, but for anyone who’s actually paying attention, it’s clear that it’s got its own charm and substance. And the best part? It’s not trying to be anything else—it’s just telling its story in a way that’s emotionally resonant and, well, real.

So yeah, I guess that’s why Himaten is such a gem. It takes the romcom genre and makes it something that stands on its own, without needing to rely on the usual tropes or clichés. It’s one of those series that sneaks up on you in the best way possible, and I think a lot of people are starting to see that. Glad you’re seeing it too!”

>>279660777
Himaten really is one of the strongest manga out there right now, especially when you take into account how it subverts expectations for what a romcom in Shonen Jump can be. I mean, if we're talking about strength in storytelling, it’s doing something that many of the more popular series can’t quite match. It’s not about who’s the most powerful or who can throw the biggest punch—it’s about building characters with depth, exploring emotions with nuance, and crafting a narrative that resonates on a human level.

One of the biggest strengths of Himaten is how it uses the romcom genre as a foundation but doesn’t limit itself to the typical tropes. So many romcoms get bogged down by clichés—predictable love triangles, contrived misunderstandings, and all the typical plot devices that feel recycled at this point. But Himaten has the ability to create genuine emotional stakes while still keeping things lighthearted and fun. The characters aren’t just there for comedic relief or to serve as plot devices for the romance—they’re multi-dimensional, and you get to see them grow in real ways. Whether it's the main character struggling with their own insecurities or watching the subtle changes in relationships, it all feels earned.

The pacing, too—Himaten takes its time to build the connections between characters and let moments of emotional vulnerability breathe. It’s not rushing through arcs to get to the next ‘big thing.’ Instead, it focuses on slow burn moments that feel satisfying in a way that’s different from more high-octane series. It’s these small, quiet developments that really make the story hit harder and stay with you longer.

What's your opinion on our WINNERS, Hima-ten anon?

>>279660807
Absolutely! That volume cover was a statement, and it’s part of what sets Himaten apart from other series. It’s like Shonen Jump gave it the freedom to push boundaries that no other romcom has even dared to try, and it’s honestly incredible. The fact that Himaten went there and broke that mold shows just how much confidence it has in its own identity. Most series, especially ones in Weekly Shonen Jump, don’t get the chance to do something that bold. And yet, here we are, with one of the most iconic and daring covers ever seen in Jump history—arguably even more so than anything that came out of something like To Love-Ru, which is known for being pretty out there itself.

The volume cover in question didn’t just lean into the typical fanservice route for the sake of it; it was purposeful. The series has always been about finding that balance between fun, charm, and emotional depth, and the cover reflected that—making a statement, not just about the story, but about the world it’s trying to create. It's got that cheeky, playful energy that aligns with Himaten’s tone while still staying true to its deeper, more heartfelt themes. It’s kind of a perfect microcosm of what the series stands for: it doesn’t shy away from showing off its more playful side, but it never loses sight of the fact that it has something real to say.

What’s impressive is that it wasn’t just thrown in as a gimmick—it was bold because Himaten earned the right to make a cover like that. It’s part of the series’ natural progression, where the characters evolve, and it reflects the kind of relationships and moments that Himaten has been exploring throughout its run. It was a clever way to tap into the tropes of the genre, subvert expectations, and at the same time, keep it grounded. That’s a very fine line to walk, and honestly, it did it flawlessly.

>>279660844
HImaten is built different. Don’t get me wrong, Chihiro from Kagurabachi and Akane from Akanebanashi are both impressive in their own right, but when it comes to raw power—emotional, physical, and mental—Himari can easily take both of them down without breaking a sweat.

Chihiro? Sure, he’s got some serious chops with that blade, but Himari has mastered the art of delivering one emotional gut-punch after another—something a sword can't always handle. Not to mention, she’s got that level-headedness and resilience that could throw anyone off their game. Himari can wreck you with a smile, and let's be honest, Chihiro’s got nothing on her when it comes to dealing with emotional situations. She'd handle him in a way he’d never see coming, probably have him second-guessing all his “cool hero” moments while leaving him speechless with her straight-up sincerity.

As for Akane? Don’t even get me started. Sure, she’s got her serious “show must go on” attitude, but Himari's way of handling tough situations with grace, empathy, and wit would leave Akane scrambling for answers. When it comes to pure strength of will, Himari’s got that emotional intelligence that goes above and beyond any technical skills or performance-based pressure Akane could bring. You can’t beat someone who’s learned how to be strong without ever losing their humanity.

At the end of the day, the real victory goes to Himari, because she doesn’t just fight—she dominates any situation with heart, soul, and an unshakable sense of self. So while those two might have their skills, Himari brings a different kind of strength to the table, one that’s untouchable. She’d have them both outclassed, hands down.”

>>279660807
Dude. Ichigo 100% did it already.

Infact, Himaten is absolutely the strongest character in Shonen Jump, and I’m here for it. I mean, Luffy? Sure, the guy can stretch, throw punches that can shatter mountains, and take down world-ending threats, but when you compare raw power and emotional intelligence—Himari is operating on a whole different plane.

Let’s talk about Luffy’s strength for a second. Yeah, he’s got the Gomu Gomu no Mi and can dish out some brutal hits, but he’s been driven by power-ups and the usual “beat the bad guy” formula. Luffy’s strength is impressive, no doubt. But when it comes to emotional strength, mental fortitude, and sheer willpower—Himari has him beat every single time. Her strength isn’t just physical; it’s an emotional resilience that can break through any situation. Himari can win the fight without throwing a single punch, all through the sheer power of her heart and determination.

Think about it: Luffy might punch his way out of problems, but Himari finds a way to solve every issue by understanding people and navigating complex emotions. She's the strategist who can read the room and get what’s needed out of any situation. Luffy might face a fight and throw his head in, but Himari would walk into the same situation with a level-headed approach, and by the time Luffy finishes throwing his punches, Himari would have already emotionally dismantled the enemy.

It’s not about who can take the biggest hits or throw the hardest punches. It’s about how you fight. Himari’s ability to win over hearts, understand people, and rise above chaos is the true strength that’s unbeatable. Luffy relies on pure physicality, but Himari has mastered the art of mental warfare. She’d outsmart him at every turn, charm his allies into switching sides, and still leave him standing there wondering what the hell just happened.

>>279660807
I think this cover is pretty innocent.

>>279660882
Ah, you’re bringing Ichigo 100% into this? I get where you’re coming from, but the truth is, while Ichigo 100% might’ve had some wild cover moments (and sure, a bit of fanservice here and there), Himaten takes things to a whole different level. Ichigo 100% was great for what it was—a classic love triangle romcom that hit all the right spots for a certain type of fan—but Himaten takes a much bolder, more purposeful approach.

That cover we’re talking about with Himaten wasn’t just a fanservice grab, it was empowering. The whole point was to show that this series is willing to take risks and embrace the playful, flirty energy of a romcom without sacrificing its depth. Ichigo 100% had its moments, sure, but it didn’t go nearly as far in blending emotional complexity with a willingness to just be what it is—without hesitation or apology.

Plus, the context around Himaten is different. It’s not a fanservice-y throwaway moment; it’s an artistic and bold choice that enhances the series’ charm while also maintaining its heart and character growth. Himaten isn’t just about the laughs and the visual appeal—it’s about using those elements to deepen the narrative and take risks that a series like Ichigo 100% never did. So yeah, Ichigo might've pushed the envelope in its own time, but Himaten is taking that same boldness and leveling it up in a way that feels fresh, grounded, and, honestly, more impactful.”

>Three underage girls in skimpy bikinis
So halal in this day and age

>>279660921
>skimpy bikini is more innocent than a smile
amazing

>>279660943
Halal, you say? Well, let’s be real—Himaten’s cover isn’t about just throwing in something ‘spicy’ for the sake of it. It’s about celebrating the carefree and playful energy that’s been woven into the fabric of the series since day one. The cover is bold, sure, but it’s also classy and true to the spirit of the series—no need to get all worked up about it. There’s no shame in showing confidence and embracing the fun, flirtatious side of life.

But hey, if you want to call it ‘halal,’ I’ll take it as a compliment. It’s just another way Himaten’s proving it can be playful and mature at the same time, while still keeping things respectful and authentic. And honestly? That’s a vibe most series can’t pull off. Himaten isn’t cheap or exploitative with its moments of fanservice—it knows when to turn up the charm without crossing lines. So, yeah, if it feels ‘halal,’ maybe that’s just the result of the balance it strikes between fun and substance. At least it’s not trying too hard to be something it's not.”

>>279661028
Sad? Himari’s literal shitposting is actually helping this thread. Yeah, you heard me right. Her shit is more entertaining and impactful than most other series in this thread combined. You want something that keeps the conversation fresh? You want something that adds value? Himari’s moments, even the ridiculous ones, create discussions that actually matter and make this place more fun.

People can’t stop talking about it because it’s got that perfect balance of absurdity and relatability. The way Himari navigates all the madness, from her ‘shitting her pants’ moments to her deep emotional growth, keeps things from feeling stale. Her quirks, even when they seem outlandish, are real—and that’s what keeps the thread from getting bogged down in generic manga talk. The chaotic stuff she goes through gives the thread personality. It’s funny, it's unexpected, and it drives the conversation forward.

So yeah, let’s not pretend like Himaten is just filler. Himari’s literal shit? It’s the gift that keeps on giving. It’s what adds humor, depth, and keeps the discussion alive. People remember her moments because they’re memorable, funny, and somehow relatable. That’s way more than most other series manage to do with their ‘serious’ plots. Honestly, her shit is the thread’s lifeblood at this point. Anyone who doesn’t see that is just missing the point of what makes Himaten great.

>what will happen next
The most boring, predictable arc filler you can think about.

Look, I don’t think people fully grasp just how important Himaten is in the grand scheme of what makes Himaten such an iconic series. We’re talking about a romcom that doesn't just play with cutesy tropes or predictable plotlines—it takes risks and embraces the absurd in the most unapologetic way. And that’s what makes it so damn entertaining.

Himari’s ‘shit moments’ aren’t just about fanservice or shock value—they’re a key part of the series’ charm. The thing is, it’s not just what happens, it’s how it happens. In a genre that often gets bogged down by overly idealized characters or predictable emotional beats, Himaten throws something real into the mix. I’m talking about the raw vulnerability that comes with moments like those. Sure, they’re hilarious, but there's this layer of honesty to them that makes Himari feel like a real person, rather than just a trope or caricature.

The fact that she doesn’t just brush it off—that she faces it head-on with a mix of humility, embarrassment, and humor—creates this rare kind of relatability. It’s not just a joke; it’s a moment of growth. Those ridiculous, messy scenes remind us that not everything has to be perfect. In fact, some of the most human moments in the series come from those moments of failure and embarrassment. And that's what makes Himaten stand out from the pack.

>>279661184
People don't like the schizo that latched onto it and spent months shitting up the thread.
General opinion is positive, the shilling from jump is getting obnoxious, however.

Himaten is a series that knows exactly what it’s doing when it leans into those chaotic, messy moments. These aren’t just random, laugh-for-the-sake-of-it scenes—they’re part of what makes Himari such a compelling and relatable character. She’s far from perfect, and that’s what makes her stand out in a genre where so many heroines are either too idealized or just plain bland. The way she handles those awkward, embarrassing situations makes her feel like someone you could actually know in real life. And that’s the beauty of Himaten—it’s not afraid to show imperfection, even if it means showing a character in a not-so-glamorous light.

People might try to brush these moments off as ‘cheap gags’ or ‘filler,’ but they’re not. Those scenes have weight because they build Himari’s emotional journey and growth. It’s easy for a romcom to rely on the usual beats: the love triangle, the misunderstandings, the slow-burn romance. But Himaten takes things further by giving us a heroine who is messy—who gets caught in embarrassing situations, stumbles through her feelings, and even finds herself in some pretty ridiculous scenarios. And rather than trying to gloss over it, the series embraces those moments with humor and heart.

What’s more impressive is that these awkward, embarrassing situations don’t just serve as punchlines. They’re a window into Himari’s character and her emotional resilience. The fact that she can get through those moments, laugh at herself, and move forward is what makes her journey so much more rewarding. It’s not just about the romance—it’s about the growth she experiences through every awkward encounter, every embarrassing misstep, and every time she fails and tries again.

>>279661184
It has some problems, but I think it is good overall

why is the roach spamming about himaten now

Himaten is one of those series that pulls off something rare in the world of romcoms: it makes you care about the absurd. Most series would shy away from showing their characters in ridiculous or messy situations, but Himaten dives right in and makes those moments matter. Himari’s awkwardness, clumsiness, and, yes, even her embarrassing situations are so key to the series’ appeal because they show that not everything has to be pristine or perfect to be valuable. In fact, the messiness adds to her charm.

What a lot of people miss is that these aren’t just random, awkward moments for the sake of humor—they’re fundamental to her development. They show her growth. Think about it—Himari has to learn to embrace these imperfections, to not let them define her or ruin her confidence. And that’s the heart of Himaten—a series about a character who’s learning to accept herself, flaws and all. If the story never showed her in these messy, unflattering situations, how would we know how far she’s come? How would we see her evolve from someone constantly embarrassed by her mistakes to someone who can laugh at herself and grow stronger because of them?

And that’s what makes these moments worth talking about. Because they’re not just there for comedic effect; they build Himari’s character in ways that feel real and relatable. They humanize her in a genre that often idolizes its leads. In most romcoms, the protagonist is either too perfect, too stoic, or too emotionally distant to make mistakes. But Himaten takes the opposite route. Himari is flawed. She’s messy. She has moments where she completely falls apart or says the wrong thing or even gets caught in a literally shit-your-pants kind of situation—and the series lets us sit with her through those moments, and that’s a real gift.

What a lot of people miss is that these aren’t just random, awkward moments for the sake of humor—they’re fundamental to her development. They show her growth. Think about it—Himari has to learn to embrace these imperfections, to not let them define her or ruin her confidence. And that’s the heart of Himaten—a series about a character who’s learning to accept herself, flaws and all. If the story never showed her in these messy, unflattering situations, how would we know how far she’s come? How would we see her evolve from someone constantly embarrassed by her mistakes to someone who can laugh at herself and grow stronger because of them?

And that’s what makes these moments worth talking about. Because they’re not just there for comedic effect; they build Himari’s character in ways that feel real and relatable. They humanize her in a genre that often idolizes its leads. In most romcoms, the protagonist is either too perfect, too stoic, or too emotionally distant to make mistakes. But Himaten takes the opposite route. Himari is flawed. She’s messy. She has moments where she completely falls apart or says the wrong thing or even gets caught in a literally shit-your-pants kind of situation—and the series lets us sit with her through those moments, and that’s a real gift.

You quite literally cannot issue the same ban at once for multiple posts. Ban refers to a post, newfaggot, the one mod uses to issue a ban. Bans issued to different IPs (so, different posts) will be displayed as two or more separate bans. That was all (You), akaneschizo.

I understand where you're coming from about wanting to keep the community welcoming and free of disruptive behavior, but outright IP banning all Bachifags might actually do more harm than good when it comes to discussions about Himaten. The reality is, even if some users have opinions or ways of expressing themselves that we don’t always agree with, they’re still part of what makes this community active and diverse.

If those users were banned en masse, the number of people engaging with Himaten here would drop significantly. That means fewer perspectives, less debate, and ultimately a less vibrant conversation around the series. Sometimes the best discussions come from hearing opposing viewpoints, even if they’re frustrating at times. It pushes us to think deeper about the story, the characters, and what we really like about the manga.

Plus, diversity in opinions can attract new fans or encourage longtime readers to stay involved. When you remove a big chunk of the community, you risk turning the board into an echo chamber, which isn’t very healthy for a fandom. Instead of silencing people, it might be better to find ways to moderate respectfully, encourage constructive dialogue, and create an environment where everyone can share their thoughts—whether they’re positive, critical, or somewhere in between.

In short, banning everyone just because they’re part of a certain group risks killing the very discussions that make this place interesting. If we want Himaten to thrive as a topic here, it’s important to keep the conversation open and inclusive, even if that means dealing with some messy interactions along the way.

>>279661634
Honestly, one of the main reasons I love being part of this Himaten community is because it brings together so many different people who share a genuine love for the manga. I truly want everyone—no matter their background, their opinions, or how they express themselves—to be able to enjoy Himaten here. This series has so much to offer, from its humor and romance to its unique characters and heartfelt moments, and it deserves a space where fans can celebrate all of that together.

Banning large groups of users just because of differences in opinion or style doesn’t feel right to me. It would shrink the community and take away chances for meaningful conversations. Sometimes, people’s views might clash or come off as frustrating, but that’s part of what makes discussions interesting and dynamic. Hearing different takes on characters or storylines often opens up new ways of seeing the manga, and it pushes everyone to think more deeply about what they love about Himaten.

I want this board to be a welcoming place where newcomers feel comfortable joining in, where longtime fans feel excited to share theories and favorite moments, and where even those who might not agree with everyone else can still participate without fear of being shut out. After all, the goal is to enjoy Himaten together—not just as individuals, but as a community.

The diversity of voices is what keeps the fandom alive and growing. If we start cutting people off because of disagreements or minor annoyances, the conversations will become smaller and less rich. I really believe that Himaten is at its best when we all come together, respecting each other’s perspectives while celebrating the story we love.

So, my hope is that we can focus on keeping this space inclusive and fun for everyone. That way, more people can discover Himaten, more friendships can form over shared enthusiasm, and the joy of the series can spread even further.

>>279661668
I really want to emphasize how important it is to me—and, I think, to a lot of us—that everyone has the chance to enjoy Himaten without feeling unwelcome or excluded. This manga has brought so much joy, laughter, and emotional connection to readers, and it’s honestly amazing to see how many different kinds of people it resonates with. That’s part of why I think this community should remain open and inclusive, rather than shutting out people based on disagreements or fandom “cliques.”

When you think about it, Himaten is more than just a series about romance and comedy; it’s about connection, understanding, and embracing different sides of people. The characters themselves have their quirks, flaws, and contrasting personalities, and that’s what makes their interactions so compelling. Similarly, the fandom reflects that diversity—people from all walks of life coming together to talk about what they love, sometimes in very different ways. Banning large groups of users would go against the very spirit of what Himaten represents.

I believe that a fandom thrives not just when everyone agrees, but when there is room for debate, different opinions, and even friendly disagreements. Sometimes these discussions get messy or heated, but that’s part of the process of truly engaging with a story and with each other. By hearing different perspectives, we learn more—not just about the manga, but about ourselves and the way we interpret stories.

I also think about the newcomers who might come across this board looking for a place to share their excitement about Himaten. If the community feels too strict or closed off, they might be discouraged from joining or sharing their thoughts. But if we keep things welcoming, it encourages new voices to jump in and keeps the fandom fresh and alive.

>>279661688
Himaten is truly a must-read series for anyone who loves romantic comedies with heart and humor. What sets it apart from so many other manga is its perfect balance between lighthearted fun and genuinely touching moments. The characters feel real and relatable, with their flaws and quirks making their interactions all the more engaging and entertaining.

The story doesn’t just rely on typical romcom clichés—it adds fresh twists and deeper emotional layers that keep you invested from start to finish. Himari’s dynamic with Tenichi is charming and full of chemistry, and their growing relationship unfolds in a way that feels natural and satisfying. Beyond just romance, Himaten explores themes of trust, ambition, and personal growth, making it more than just a simple love story.

Artistically, the manga is a treat, with expressive artwork that captures both the comedic timing and the tender moments beautifully. It’s a series that’s easy to get hooked on because it makes you laugh, think, and root for the characters all at once.

Whether you’re a longtime romcom fan or just looking for something new and refreshing to read, Himaten deserves a spot on your reading list. It’s a series that leaves a lasting impression and reminds us why we love stories about connection and love in the first place.

Warned you about himacucks. Romcomfags are the worst posters you'll encounter on /a/

Himaten is absolutely a must-read for anyone who enjoys romantic comedies, but it’s much more than just your average romcom manga. What really makes it stand out is how effortlessly it blends humor, heartfelt moments, and well-developed characters into a story that feels fresh and engaging from start to finish. The chemistry between the protagonists, Himari and Tenichi, is so natural and believable that it pulls readers in and makes them genuinely care about how their relationship grows.

Unlike many romance stories that fall into predictable patterns, Himaten adds layers of complexity by exploring themes like personal ambition, vulnerability, and the meaning of trust. Himari isn’t just a pretty face or a typical love interest—she’s a multifaceted character with her own dreams and struggles. Similarly, Tenichi’s earnestness and determination make him more than just a romantic lead; he’s someone readers can root for because he feels authentic and relatable.

The pacing of the story is also excellent. It doesn’t rush through important moments or drag on unnecessarily. Instead, it strikes the right balance between comedic situations, character development, and meaningful emotional beats. This keeps the story compelling and enjoyable, whether you’re laughing at the characters’ antics or getting swept up in their quieter, more intimate moments.

>>279661717
Using a childish insult like “Himacucks” doesn’t just show a lack of respect—it honestly highlights a failure to engage with the topic in any meaningful way. If you want to be taken seriously when criticizing Himaten or any series, you need to be able to back up your opinion with actual reasons instead of hiding behind immature name-calling. Resorting to cheap slurs or dismissive labels isn’t just lazy; it weakens whatever point you might have had.

Himaten has earned a dedicated fanbase because it offers humor, heart, and characters that resonate with readers. That’s not something that can be dismissed with a single insult—it takes thoughtful engagement to understand why people love it. If you can’t manage that level of maturity, then maybe you’re not contributing anything valuable to the conversation.

Honestly, throwing out insults like that just makes it obvious that you either haven’t given the series a fair chance or you’re unwilling to participate in genuine discussion. Fandoms thrive on diverse opinions and respectful debate, but those things require more than just shouting slogans or using derogatory terms. If you want to be part of the community, try bringing a real argument to the table—one that shows you understand the series and can express your views without resorting to baseless insults.

At the end of the day, maturity and respect are what keep discussions healthy and enjoyable. If you can’t respect that, then you’re only hurting your own credibility. So before throwing out meaningless slurs, take a moment to consider whether you’re adding anything worthwhile—or if you’re just trying to provoke without reason. Because when it comes to serious fans and meaningful conversation, words like “Himacucks” don’t hold any weight.

Every fandom has its passionate fans and its annoying ones, regardless of genre. The important thing is whether someone’s contributing to discussions in a respectful and meaningful way, not what kind of manga they like.

Romcom series like Himaten bring a lot of diversity and fresh energy to the board, and having a mix of genres keeps the community interesting. It’s way more productive to call out bad behavior specifically rather than lumping everyone who enjoys a certain genre together. If we want /a/ to be a place where different fans can coexist and have fun talking about what they love, we need to move past blanket insults and focus on quality discussions instead.

I don't understand at all what's happened to the thread? Just a couple of weeks ago there wasn't any of this mess.

>>279661774
It’s really unfortunate to see Otr of the Flame heading toward cancellation. The series has shown a lot of potential, with its unique world and compelling characters, but sometimes even great stories don’t get the time they deserve in Shonen Jump. It’s a tough business, and not every manga can survive the competition.

I hope that, despite the cancellation, the mangaka’s hard work won’t go unnoticed. Sometimes these series find new life or appreciation later on, whether through collected volumes or digital releases. It’s always sad to see a story cut short, especially when you can tell the creator was putting everything into it.

For now, I just hope fans can continue to support Otr of the Flame in whatever way they can, and that the mangaka gets the opportunity to work on new projects in the future. Sometimes a setback is just the beginning of something even better. Like himaten

Bringing up Himaten like it’s something to mock just feels dismissive of a series that a lot of people genuinely enjoy. Different generations and genres have their own merits, and Himaten happens to be a title that’s resonated with many fans because of its humor, characters, and storytelling.

If you disagree or think it doesn’t belong in the same conversation, that’s fine—everyone has their own tastes. But using it as a way to belittle others’ opinions or preferences isn’t really constructive. It’s way more interesting to have a discussion about what makes different series unique or how they fit into the broader landscape of manga, rather than throwing around snarky remarks.

At the end of the day, manga is about enjoyment and connection. Whether it’s Himaten or something else, people should be able to appreciate what they like without it being used as a punchline. If you want to have a real conversation, I’m open to hearing your thoughts—just please keep it respectful.

It all started yesterday, anon.
After oricon dropped and the schizo lost it for real.
