He is obviously going to end it with Ruka getting together with Kuri, but how do you think this is going to play out?

Ruka won

the Kuribowl.

>>279953673
What the fuck was the context behind this again, lmao?

>>279954459
He's about to brush his teeth.

>>279953928
Does Kibe even know that Kuri rented her?

>>279954661
No he probably never will.

>>279953673
Yooooo, did Mini see his dick?

>"My dad's right there."
Where do you think you inherited that dong from, Kazuya?

>>279955457
She looks more disappointed than worried she is even happier with Chizuru of all people

>>279955564
The grift game is too good for him now.

>>279955564
Why would I care? It's clickbait.

It's happening. It's never been more over for doomkeks. We have never been so back.

>>279955994

How many women on twitter would've gotten mad if Kazuya didn't carry Chizuru and just left her there?

>>279955564

>>279955564
>They're heckin' separatin'
I doubt it. I've said this before, but part of the reason the writing in this manga is so bad is that the story never actually lets any of the drama sink in. It doesn't literally have to become misery porn, but the characters are never allowed to dwell on the depressing stuff that happened to them. What's more likely to happen is this >>279952779
Even if she doesn't kiss him, I'm 100% sure they're gonna have some sort of "sweet" moment together and that Kazuya is gonna get put back into the simping meat grinder soon.

>>279956884
yes, she had a perfect plan to dump him after the date was over

>>279957097
>Kazuya is gonna get put back into the simping meat grinder soon.
I'm telling you he's conclusion will be going back to rental dates.

>>279956716
For her foot? It's probably better she doesn't need to walk at all and they can get patches for the future.

>>279957097
>separatin
Not really hat people mean, but I could see him moving out and they keep dating. I could also see them coming up with an excuse for him to not move out though. What do you think?

I've never had genuine incel murder rage towards a fictional character like I do Chizuru. The one outcome that would make me happiest with this manga is her and Kazuya dying in a car crash.

>>279953382
That’s ok. She’s getting mating pressed after Kazuya finally proposes to her.

>>279956338
>>279957097
We still don’t know if Chorizo will back off her rejection yet, for all we know nothing will happen on the way home and they go to bed and wake tomorrow and go along with Kazuya’s moving out plan. Don’t get too used to this direction or you’ll get swindled by Reiji instead.

>>279957325
The tweet said "they're legit going to part ways" so I interpreted it literally. To answer your question, given that Gayji has been avoiding actually pairing the two of them up for 8 years, I think it's safe to assume that the manga ends the second they actually start dating. Plus, if they were to start dating now, it would make the rejection even more bullshit, though I honestly wouldn't put it past Reiji with how easily he handwaves previous plot points away. I think the next chapter will probably just be an extended Chizuru monologue about how she realized she totally actually likes him, then they share a moment together (whether it's a conversation or a kiss, doesn't matter) and at most decide to start going out after external factors are dealt with.

>>279957700
Ten chapters to the next kiss, at most.

>>279957742
>de facto and de jure
They have already been dating for years.

>after what happened it's very convicting to say that this all a false marketing. How you explain Umi's surname is Reiji's hometown, favorite sport is similar, and the number of followers (movie arc) on X actually reflects Reiji's followers count in 2020.
Seems this twittard may know something.
If true, then Kekzuya's fucking cooked

It’s time to stop renting. The era where you throw your money and time away on a girl who will never love you is now over. Time to get a real girlfriend.

>>279956385
I'm sorry for popping your favorite ship bro, but I've seen funerals more animated than Ruka around Kuri, I mean just compare her reactions when she was starting to fall for Kazuya

>>279958132
>Ice Queen face with a blush that reveals her true feelings
Chizuru has been doing this the whole story and you still haven't figured it out?

>>279953151 (OP)
>Kazuya actually walked Choriputa home gently
You can't make this shit up man

>>279958350
>You can't make this shit up man
But that's how writing works, he did make this all up.

You know about the two train-line analogy Ruka said? It’s an exact metaphor for her love life. She could have moved on to someone who had the free time to hold and love her but knowing Kazuya would never leave her she stuck by him regardless. It’s just taking a little longer to get there that’s all.

>>279958313
Comparing both characters is retarded because they express love in opposite ways it's not that I expect Ruka to instantly jump on him but for fucks sake, she seems completely uninterested outside of tiny blushes on her face, which yeah, no shit she has that given that Kuri rented her and she humiliated him in front of Kazuya

>>279958655

>>279958588
Also remember the context
>I don't have time for this that whore is going to steal my man
>Well fine I guess I have time after all

>>279958770
>>Well fine I guess I have time after all
Kazuya straight up told her that he likes Chizuru and she still went on with him and in no moment she considered having feeling for anybody else

>>279959183
This is an example of priorities, she's not as worried about losing her man as you'd think she would be.

>>279959233
Anon, she fucking cries at the thought of him chosing Chizuru over her

>>279959513
Kazuya cries over Mami and there is certainly no love there.
The thing here is she is literally choosing to be with another man over Kazuya while knowing this may cost her the entire relationship.

>>279953151 (OP)
Christ, every time I see this pathetic MC on the catalog he manages to make me cringe even more.

>>279959575
No, Kazuya "cried" in the comedic way and immediately tried to get over it compare it to how hard the ghosting hit him
>The thing here is she is literally choosing to be with another man over Kazuya while knowing this may cost her the entire relationship.
You forget that it was Kuri who pulled her over and she didn't want to be rude to him a second time

>wait a minute is anyone here actually enjoying this?

>>279959724
>I'll just give up on my relationship because I don't want to be rude

>>279959735

>>279956338
Doomkeks would win if they become a couple. The ideal outcome is them breaking up contact and get some character development. He already did everything and she already rejected him. Would be cheap to just go "ahh, you did me a solid, that's +1 good boy points, your balance is now enough for me"

>>279959749
Now this is just disingenuous they spoke for two minutes at best, it's not like Chizuru and Kazuya were getting married

>>279959889
Based. Let the low IQ readers can continue to seethe and help gatekeep this gem.

>>279960120
Just compare this to before the trip where she escorts him home and orders him to remain in seclusion all because she thinks they might bump into each other and spend a minute talking.

>>279959735
I don't get it? Everyone in this thread is just a shitposter pretending they like the manga?

>>279960259
it seems that nobody genuinely likes it and just reads it ironically.

>>279960247
Yeah and she also let Kazuya make a movie for her and gave them some space after Chizuru grandma had a heart attack, she doesn't want them together but it not like she won't stop at anything

>>279960738
It's just a lack of passion.

What stops you from dropping the manga?

>>279953151 (OP)
Kekzuya was able to keep his horndog thoughts under control this time but next week we'll go back to form.

>>279960872
I respect those who love this trash in same way they love shitty daytime soapoperas that are over the top retarded.

those who need beheading are the people who say this is deep and insightful and speaks to people

>>279960944
this is deep and insightful and speaks to people

>>279961650
may you wake up as Kazuya tomorrow morning

>>279960944
There's a limit to how deep a romcom can be. Not really melodramatic, not heavily reliant on repetitive gags/com to keep readers hooked, just 2 young adult dorks navigating their feelings in a non-rushed way, with appealing artstyle to top it off. It's got enough going for it that is honestly difficult to find elsewhere in the same genre.

>>279960872
Because I NEED to know what happens next. But every week is just edging you more and more. Don't suffer like me.

>>279961782
Is Kazuya actually tall or just "Japanese tall"? Either way I'd love to be younger.

You can't stop me Haruhi

>last panel is referring to him in past tense as something she is remembering
it's literally over lmao

>>279962952
So it's a How I Met Your Father kind of story?

>>279962952
>future narrator
Author disagrees

>>279962952

The real highlight of this chapter was getting something from Chizuru's pov. Need more of that.

La Puta

>>279963442
Kazuya's got a pretty nicely shaped butt. I can see why Mami-chan and Ruka-chan like him.

>>279963530
lol, must have been a quickie or Kazuya walking into the street pole warped his sense of time.

>>279963508
All she did was give a self introduction. "Hello, I'm Chizuru and I'm a rental girlfriend." Must have been added so new readers who didn't read the previous chapters can understand.

Real women aren't like Chorizo, right? If they are then dating sounds fucking miserable...

>>279963910
>Real women aren't like Chorizo, right?
Correct, because they would just dump you if you were broke instead of making you live in her house.

>>279963910
Anon... they're worse. This series is but a small dose of reality.

>>279956338
>Past tense narration suggesting he's no longer around her in the present.
Oh sweet, he died. Kudos to Reiji.

>>279964127
Kibe told you what was going to happen himself you just had to pay attention, you know the chainsaw.

>>279964015
>they would just dump you if you were broke
I spent too much of my life believing what people said that those were just 'the bad ones'.

>>279963837
The real point was that she said she didn't used to believe in dreams, but now she does.

>>279956338
Kazuya is strong enough to carry a girl, are you?

>>279964225
wtf are you talking about
>>279958082
Nah
>>279963910
Dont worry theyre far worse

>>279964808
Kibe says to Kazuya in one scene that if they break up he will disembowel him with a chainsaw.

>>279964378
Can the girl fit in a row boat?

>>279964265
>people said that those were just 'the bad ones'.
So they are all bad?

>>279959889
Whoever did this never read Tonikawa. Nasa is book and technology smart but world dumb. Tsukasa is the opposite. World smart but not the best with technology. The fire didn’t bother Nasa that much because nothing irreplaceable was lost. He’s a doer not a moper.

>>279964844
Only in the heat of the moment. Kibe changed his mind later, so no dead Kazuya

>>279965476
>just don't be broke
The only woman who will ever love you unconditionally is your mother, some just have more conditions than others.

So Chizuru makes sacrifices to keep Kazuya happy, what a nice, gentle girl, how can someone not love her? She is an angel

>>279965476
.... Yea

>>279959889
The only thing shitno changed about herself was her hair

>>279955087
a shockwave being sent through chizuru's womb

>>279965762
he kinda designed her to be peak moe in a way that forces you to like her

>>279963765
often-overlooked detail that on the rare occasions we see kazuya from chizuru's pov he's rather hunky

>>279965928
Kibe on suicide watch.

>>279965884
Artificial popularity?

>>279966148
Not artificial. She is simply best girl.

>>279965928

>>279966189
Ruka exists

>>279966224
If you hate ice queen tsunshits and like the feisty tomboy girl then Ruka is for you. Too bad you are cucked though.

>>279965884
>he kinda designed her to be peak moe
In what ways?

>>279966337
Ultra tragic backstory, doesn't succeed despite best efforts, horrible luck. It's a girl you immediately feel bad for and want to fix.

>>279957742
>I think the next chapter will probably just be an extended Chizuru monologue about how she realized she totally actually likes him
lol she literally already said that when she turned him down do you fuckers lack basic comprehension issues or what

>>279962952
The only line that puts this narration strictly in the future is the part about her remembering this walk even now and even that doesn't in any way confirm they split up. It literary is a volume closing cliffhanger that will be immediately dropped next chapter.

>>279966661
Except people in our world hate her.

>>279966758

>>279965732
>The only woman who will ever love you unconditionally is your mother
It's not nice to lie.

so real name arc next?

>>279966939
Anime Kazuya looks like shit.

>>279967174
Chizuru looks pretty good though, right?

LAME

when the heck is he gonna bring in other girls and stop writing about the latinx sausage?

>>279966814
which is why he said the truth

This poor guy

>>279955457
>looks like a stereotypical ching chong with slit eyes and buck teeth
How did Reiji get away with this?

>>279965482
What did Nasa even have at the place that got burned down? The bed they bought together, and that's it?

>>279967174
Kanna definitely does the girls justice but there is something off about her kazuya. Almost trying to be too ikemen-like but not really.

>>279967581
What's his endgame?

>>279967759
Breaking that poor unnamed girl's heart apparently.

>>279967465
>the latinx sausage?
Who is that?

>>279967775
How will he settle? Or is he doomed to constantly go from girl to girl while he's forever a slave to the acting industry?

>>279967808
Chorizo Itchy Nose

>>279967878
>Or is he doomed to constantly go from girl to girl while he's forever a slave to the acting industry?
Well that is common with real actors.

>>279967465
At least she's got the studio that still cares about her...

>>279953151 (OP)
NOOOO MI COMPAAA! NOOOO!

Takes one to know one.

So do they just not like have Uber in Japan?

>>279953151 (OP)
I heard that this manga is misunderstood by westerners and has many japanese culture societal things going on in it that if known would make it easier to understand. What do you think?

funny alias

>>279968130
Sounds like cope.

>>279968130
>ancestors
>take off your shoes
>they are using first names!
It's not rocket science, and even if it was you've heard of kerbal space program that shit isn't complicated either.

>>279953151 (OP)
i dont care what anyone says Kazuya is based for still being sweet to her

>>279968108
Yeah Cuckzuya should've just paid for her Uber too

This exists, ergo he will not be moving out.
Q.E.D.

What would make you respect Kazuya at this point?

Hard mode: No killing Chizuru.

For me, it would be fucking Mini in front of Chizuru.

>>279969195
That thing that he already did.

>>279969195
Necking himself and blaming Chizuru in the suicide note

>>279954842
Funny how Mini is the only girl who he portrays as a predator in his sexual fantasies

>>279969263
she is a predator

>>279969195
Stop renting whores and start self-improving

>>279969195
There's no coming back from spending all that money on one girl and not even dating her for real
Maybe if they do a timeskip and showing he matured?

>>279969368
"Just go to the gym bro"

>>279969395
There are a ton of guys in the military who still cant get a girl, and they literally get paid to work out.

>>279969395
You don't even need to be fit to get a girl

>>279955564
Imagine listening to a Paki-Indian, shitskin mix who looks like this.

>>279957684
You're delusional

>>279969195
Must:
come clean to his family and friends, he was living in delululand for long enough.
get a job

Should:
cut Ruka off.
get more responsible with his money

Could
replace the god damn phone(screen)
find a girlfriend

Don't
rent Chizuru or any other girl ever again.
date Mini

>>279969693
The end is near, Chizuru will lose control, eat Kazuya alive and disappear, pleading she was L5

How do we save Kazuya?

>>279969696
He has a job.

>>279965482
speaking of, it's back from hiatus

>>279969857
He has a part-time job at a karaoke place and is supposed to be job hunting at the moment. He could've go work at his family's business at any point, but now they have an exchange student doing that. I'm not sure if they'll still want him running the business after they learn what happened with Chizruu-hime.

>>279969965
>after they learn what happened
That's when they celebrate.

>>279969195

Karikano readers are such pathetic incels they genuinely believe killing the girl you're simping for is something real Men would respect you for.

It's a volume opener tho.

>>279965732
>The only woman who will ever love you unconditionally is your mother
False. They also will hate you.

>her turn to go full retard

>(#610)
Mizuhara and Umi's daughter is a rental girlfriend aiming to become an actress, and Kazuya and Ruka's son is dumped by Asami and Hakuba's daughter and rents her out.
>(#625)
The date was so hot right up until we got home, I got so excited
Kazuya's back is just so cool
This is what you call a likeable protagonist
His kindness is conveyed to Mizuhara and you can really tell he cares for her
If he were to confess with Mizuhara on his back, it would be just like Godai and Kyoko
Miyajima-sensei has really drawn the Reiwa version of Maison Ikkoku so carefully (picrel).
But that's not all. Another thing that attracted me was Mizuhara's monologue. And it wasn't Chizuru, but Ichinose Chizuru. It wasn't me who was playing the role, but the real feeling that I was the main character of the story. A romantic comedy can't be told from the perspective of just the hero or the heroine, both perspectives are important. Miyajima-sensei is good at writing romantic comedies, and hearing Mizuhara's inner thoughts was really refreshing and emotional.
>(#626)
Assuming the monologue is from the future, Ichinose Chizuru, and that although they won't be together in the future, the days she spent with Kazuya were good, just like in the stories, or that her days with Kazuya were good, just like in the stories, so she's now dating. I wonder which one it is. If we want to keep Ruka dating Kazuya, the only option is the former, so even as a Ruka fanatic, it's complicated.
>(#634)
Is he the type of protagonist that people will like? He's not.
He's a typical example of a non-popular person who is not committed.
The only people who don't get it are
Rukakichis.
If I had to add, Miyajima and his editors would be too.
I don't think Rukakichis' heads would be able to understand it, but
Try reading a book on love engineering.
For more information, Google love engineering.
>(#636, rep. to #610)
Kazuya and Ruka's son is likely to become a stalker with a terrible habit of lying lol

>>279971262
That one zuru fanatic praising the chapter sure hasn't read Maison Ikkoku. Because i clearly remember Godai just gave Kyoko's sick dad a piggyback.

You know I don't think this is a romantic comedy at all.

>>279971399
it's a commentary about different mental illnesses and abuse

>>279971413
This series had the potential to be a commentary on modern dating and modern women. It could have been that. It would have been a decent series if it had been that. It could have kept all the well-drawn waifus to bring in the simp readers.

>>279971413
But who is reading this and laughing?

I actually really like this manga, but it's just not funny and it doesn't seem to be trying to be funny either. It's a drama.

Having nips divided between Ichinose's monologue being positive or a negative thing for the ship wasn't something i expected.
I thought their above /a/'s average IQ would have made them thought Chizuru was gonna win, but seems they have the same divisive reception as westoids outside the sub.
Latinxs and negroids think Kazuya is a breadcrumber beyond repair.

In modern dating lingo, breadcrumbing is something considered worse than a ghosting.

>>279969996
About them parting ways and Kazuya's real girlfriend revealing herself?
The story is taking the AKB path. Unattainable dreams and acceptance of the people who will love you, even if they weren't what you expected.

>>279971589
>hey remember that completely unrelated story that was written by an entirely different author?
I'd rather talk about this completely unrelated story instead. As you can see it's about a muscle wizard.

No one in this manga deserves any form of catharsis, all of them must suffer.

>>279971639
Even the axolotl?

>>279971728
Too late

>I've been rewatching the first season of the anime in conjunction with the fourth season, and I've come to realise just how great Ruka is (while reposting info from the ruka crowdfunding).
Seems Reiji is giving things on what the next chapters or arc may go.

>>279971492
Reiji would need a really good reason for her to turn him down if they are still supposed to get back together, her changing her mind or having low emotional intelligence just won't cut it. There's a reason: "muh job and lifestyle" gets clowned on. So it's better to interpret it as her remembering him fondly in the future after they split up and went their separate ways. With this it's ambiguous about them getting back together and when that would even happen and he can continue to write whatever the fuck he wants, with the same garbage pacing, with even less care about the non-existent romance.

>>279971978
>Prease rike Ruka.
Is this and the crowdfunding campaign all together damage control?

>>279972198
No shit Sherlock, watch how on the next arc Ruka gets humiliated again

>>279972280
nah, will get zombie Kazuya and Ruka healing

>>279972173
Actually this.
Maybe the end is Chizuru now trying to amend ways with an emotionally scarred Kazuya.
Inb4 their reencounter happens at the aquarium where they reminisce all these moments explained in those monologues and all of this happens after he just went 25yo and became a workaholic "widowed" consultant who uses his job to escape from a "sin" he committed and as a way to "apologize" for it, he swore to never fall in love again. That sin being having "killed" Ruka by not knowing she had an illness and going rough with sex in sheer ignorance. Even if he is now the avoidant and even hostile one, Chizuru was always the perceptive one and this time, she swears she'll wait 'till the Kazuya she fell for can come back, but that she's serious about wanting to make things right, and help Kazuya carry the burden he's saddled with. That gives his eyes a spark... and i stop here bc i'm uninspired tbf.

>>279972198
Ruka account started activities the same week the date reached the beachside chapters. Specifically the one where Chozuru grabs his hand.
Coincidence? Or was all of that deliberately planned?

>>279972540
Ruka dying from reverse snu snu would be so fucking funny that I want to see it happen now.

Why didn't Shiunji get a season 2?

>>279973175
Manga sales collapsed despite of the anime.
Both Reijis (author and artist) are hinting at the story entering endgame, so it seems it got soft axed.

Mandelas a la verga mi compaaaaaaa

>>279969933
Yes thank god. I need some joy after this misery. (I will say in regards to the fire being caused by lightning, I do have to ask if the apartment owners have heard of Ben Franklin.)

Also, Black Lagoon came back too. Revysimps can rejoice.

Isn't this the retard who said "Before evangelion all mecha anime was kiddy and wasn't dark or touch on adult themes"

Now do a dogeza!

>Manga sales collapsed despite of the anime.
Did they?

>>279973985
>No S2 announcement.
>Both author and artist talking about endgame.
It was obvious.

>>279974218
But I'm asking for hard figures.

>Shiunji anime ended on a cliffhanger
>no S2 announcement
What the fuck? Were they planning a season 2 but canceled it halfway?

A reminder Umi is Reiji Miyajima himself.

>>279960116
>she already rejected him
a half assed rejection

>>279974697
Nah, he selfinserts has Chizuru

>>279975279
>Has Nakano (Reiji's hometown) as his last Name.
>The huge hint is Umi's social media account in Twitter during his Ruka-styled date with Chizuru in the movie arc having the same followers Reiji had when the chapter was released.
>Beret = associated with artists.
Kazuya was always fighting an already lost battle.

>>279975486
You said this already

>>279975517
Wait! There's more:
>Umi's favorite sport is Futsal, guess which Reiji's favorite sport is... you guessed it, Futsal (indoor baby soccer) (sauce: RaG vol. 29 afterword).
>The former debunks Reiji's favorite sport being baseball because Chizuru plays at the batting cages. In fact, that, and the RaG agency are actually references to Ace of Diamond, a series where he worked as an assistant. Chizuru's agency being named Diamond isn't a coincidence, it's a stealth homage to the manga he worked into.
>Umi using a beret has a mangaka culture explanation: it's used as a running gag for mangakas all because Osamu Tezuka and Fujiko Fujio wore a beret.
>This recontextualizes 218: more than Kazuya's head playing shit on him, it was Reiji showing how obsesed he is with Chizuru.

I really need Chizuru and Kazuya to do something together that just completely makes Ruka give up on Kazuya, like I want her to walk in on them doing something, an intense make out session, Chizuru sucking his cock (lol) or them straight up having animalistic sex like in the Yahiro Pochi doujins, whatever it is, I don't want Ruka to react by sperging and making her usual noises, I want Ruka to give a fisheye stare as her eyes turn hollow and for the rest of the story she's completely silent with rage until Kuri wins her over but she becomes extremely possessive of Kuri, to the point she breaks into the real world to kill femanons lusting over Kuri.

>>279976091
Are you heelschizo?

>>279976202
Who's him?

>>279969263
What's funny about her being different?

>>279971431
Me after he walked into a street pole and started arguing with it. Or when Kazuya just started walking away after they reunited.

>>279971492
>Kazuya is a breadcrumber beyond repair.
Kazyua is leaving "breadcrumbs" to keep Chizuru interested without any genuine intention of building a real relationship or pursuing something serious? Or is it referring to Chizuru leaving him "breadcrumbs?"

>>279977687
It's funny that Kazuya portrays himself as a CHAD except when it's with Mini. His first impression of her warped his sexual fantasies about her.

>>279978092
Nah, more like Kazuya acts as himself when he fantasizes about Mini. There's no need to pretend being someone he is not with her.

>>279970544
>the moment Yuko finally let Reiji go free
anon

>>279972173
that is like the entire point, it sounds like a shitty, flimsy reason because it is a shitty, flimsy reason. Chizuru is flailing badly and Kazyua refusing to be mad at her and and still caring is making her feel even worse

>>279977936
>Or is it referring to Chizuru leaving him "breadcrumbs?"
This one.

god i hope they bump into ruka on the way home lol

>>279978485
What's Ruka doing outside that late at night?

What good is Ruka side from being Mami lite?

>>279978633
Stalking her """boyfriend"""

>>279978485
For me, it's Mini rushing back home to try catching Kazuya's fall. It'll be funny if she bumps into Kazuya giving Chizuru a piggyback kek.

>>279978646
Young, cute, petite.
Great cheerful personality.
Gets horny like a real human being and tries to go for it with her boyfriend.
Hasn't had any abortions.
Allows her man to be a little unfaithful without making a ruckus.
Will probably die of a heart attack before she becomes an old hag.

Ruka's ending

Bonus, who is deceased in this frame?

>>279979182
She loses a lot of points for not being able to let go. Still acting all clingy after Kazuya asked for a breakup because he's into Chizu is pathetic.

I want to have rough sex with Mini. I want to manhaldle her tiny body. Understand?

>>279979397
But it's Kazuya who keeps dating her.
He could just leave

>>279979673
But who are you?

>>279969195
Moving away from Chorizo and accept Rukas feelings

>>279979704
>Kazuya tries to end it
>Ruka screeches
That's what happens.

>>279979713
Anon said what would you make you respect Kazuya you retard.

>>279971413
Thats why I picked it up
Its actually a cool telenovela

Every day I wake up smiling knowing Ruka will never win.

>>279979712
A man with a dream

>>279979748
>>Ruka screeches
Ok and? Just leave

>>279979182
>Allows her man to be a little unfaithful without making a ruckus.
>Will probably die of a heart attack before she becomes an old hag.
This sounds awful
>Hasn't had any abortions.
I'm pretty sure that Mami simply miscarried

>>279979820
I was hoping you would describe yourself a bit more but sure that works.

>>279979820
But do you wear a beret?

>>279979831
That doesn't save Ruka from being an unattractive third wheel

>>279979346
>>279979378
Clearly AI. Chorizo would never allow Kazuya to touch her

>>279980084
Retard

>>279980084
>Doesn't refute Ruka dying alone
Heh

>>279980064
But it's Kazuya fault, he gave her false hopes for months and he keeps doing it by dating her

>>279980268
Good, let Ruka become more mindbroken in the end, she and her fans deserve it.

>>279971425
>This series had the potential to be a commentary on modern dating
It is
>and modern women
noone wants that shit in a manga
>>279980296

>definitive rejection and progress!
>oops nevermind back to the endless mire

>>279980928

That was anything but definitive, it felt very half-assed and conflicted on Chizu's part.

Here lies Kazuya. He died shitting in the street.

>>279981360
Ruka still loves him.

>>279978758
This is pure genius.

Is it true that Reiji is 3 chapters ahead? If so he might be drawing sex as we speak.

>>279982233
Ruka does not love him.
>>279958655

I'll be real with you lads, soldiers.
If this series goes back to the status quo with another 20 chapters of nothingburgers, my kokoro might not be able to take it..

>>279983500
Serious question, did you expected anything else?
>>279982765
-1 in media literacy

>>279983500
>status quo
You post this right under an image showing that now she is the one fighting for love, which is the complete opposite of what the status quo was for almost the entire manga.

>>279983634

>>279967741
Season 2 ED will always be hilarious to me on how contrasting it is to the story.
Just a bunch of girl friends having a night out, yup, certainly no animosity there.

>>279983741
Ruka needs to have a more broken reaction than this when she really does lose Kazuya.

>>279983915
>Mami hates everyone at her side
>Ruka doesn't even want to talk to Mami or Chizuru
>Chizuru is dating Ruka boyfriend behind her back (ironically the look like they are holding hands kek)
>Sumi doesn't even know who the fuck the girls at the left are
>"Yeah, lets make them look like friends"
What the fuck where they thinking?

>>279984365
Why does Mami hate Ruka and Sumi?

>>279984798
She hates Ruka for stalking Kazuya and she envies Sumi for being able to milk shotas dry so confidently.

>>279984798
Because they are human, she really hates humans.

>>279984365
Kappe was simply just flexing.

>>279984999

>>279973935
That was troonbro
Even Gigguk knows gundam existed prior evangelion from the hack of anno

Hard to take this seriously when Ruka is winning by default. This is what Chizuru really wants after all and nothing’s going to change it.

>>279985996
Average delusional Rukafag purposely not understanding the last two chapters.

>>279984863
She's a misanthrope? Why does she like Kazuya, he's not human?

I hate this manga with all my being and I hate this generation who love shit romance like this and gotobun.

>>279986031
>not understanding
This…as a rental slut enjoyer…is my last cope!

>>279986062
Misanthropes aren't really logical

>>279986294
Why are you coping Rukatard?

>>279984798
Oddly enough she doesn’t seem to hate her. Maybe because she’s empathetic? Sumi for all she knows is not serious and she would be right. If anyone hates Ruka it would be Mini for blatantly trying to sabotage her relationship after all.

>Nagomi hires Yakuza
>Ruka is never seen again

>>279986791
>trying to sabotage her relationship after all.
>her relationship
>her
You mean her ship, right?

>>279986791
>Oddly enough she doesn’t seem to hate her.
She only saw her as a useful means to help her destroy love.

>>279987384
Just imagine how funny it will be when Ruka learns the truth that Kazuya is closer to Mini than he is to her.

>speaks at least 3 languages
Is Mini the smartest character in this story?

>>279986791
>Oddly enough she doesn’t seem to hate her.
She know that Chizuru is the real thread

>>279986013
Which chapter was this?

>>279989737
That's from 229, but start at 221 if you are just trying to skip ahead and haven't read it before.

>>279989897
I have but I remember that exchange made me laugh and I want to reread it

why did she tell him this

>>279990250
She truly is female Kuri

>>279990250
She thinks he is a virgin who missed his chance with her when she pulled him into her room and tried to fuck him.

Wipe that blush off your face you fucking whore.

>>279990359
What about lesbians?

>>279992601
Girls kissing girls is just how they attract men.

>>279990949
don't fucking call her a whore asshole

>>279979182
>a little

>>279979182
>Gets horny like a real human being and tries to go for it with her boyfriend.

There goes Kibe's only chance. Is it really too hard to give your bro a little help?

Any other man in Kazuya's shoes would have already been married to Ruka with a second kid on the way by this point.

>>279993030
Look at those fish lips, like putting lipstick on a pig.

>>279993797

>>279993701
sticking your dick in crazy is actually a rather contentious subject

>>279994415

Maybe 4 years older.

>>279994517
immediately should bag that hag then.

>>279994118
I don't get it?

>>279994835
Lastest chapter Chorizo says she feels like she's in a story. Here Kazuya is looking up romance fiction similar pertaining to their scenario.

>>279994919
>feels like she’s in a story
Chorizo must not read shoujo romance then. Kekzuya is nothing like those guys.

>>279995172

>>279995704

way too late

Only 120 more hours to the next chapter

>>279995341
Is that Diabolic Lovers?

>>279996610
yeah

>>279956570
Would they really? After everything she’s done? And do women even read this series?

>>279996789
Yes they would, and it's one of the most popular manga in Japan.

>>279956338
>stars inside the moon
What a hack, in all kind of senses

>>279997808
Reiji said on twitter that he is a big fan of Hereafter Apollyon Online, he's just teasing the big twist when the moon tries to kill everyone.

>>279997808
Maybe it's an E.T.?

Do women really?

>her "friends" don't even like her because they can tell she is full of shit
I can fix her.

>>279998641
>she is full of shit
true

>>279999054

>>279999066

>>279969584
A fag like him doesn't deserve having Vagabond

>>279999066
Actually yes. Mizuhara does think everyone around her is stupid and that the world turns only when it’s in her presence. How many times has she called people dumb behind their backs? How many times has she thought she could get away with basically anything and has? She’s too arrogant for her own good with nothing but looks to show for it and that’s why she is a garbage person to root for.

>>279999300
>world turns only when it’s in her presence
true

>>279999300
>How many times has she called people dumb behind their backs?
Usually this is a compliment, she's used it that way about Kazuya several times.

>>279999365
na, she sees Kazuya as a complete retard

>>279999501
I don't think she's called anyone but herself and him that though.

>>279999520
As a matter of fact she does. She looks down on men as a whole and might be a closeted lesbian who wants to get inside Mami and Ruka’s pants. She’s only on a pity date right now because it might make Mini and Sumi like her as well.

>>279999672
Lesbians aren't real, she just needs to get raped by Kazuya

>>279999300
>Actually yes. Mizuhara does think everyone around her is stupid and that the world turns only when it’s in her presence.
It's because it is, she is the main character after all.

>>279999719

>>279999741
she never needs to socialize with other actors, thing will just work out, because she is the MC

>>279999672
Troll bumps are always appreciated

>>279999784
Not hanging out with your coworkers is pretty common.

>>279999784
No one is friends with their coworkers irl

>>279999719
W-what? Everybody is on their phones and is not looking at me? How could this be happening??? I did everything right by ignoring them when they invite me out and before that bragging about my perfect face and love life why?????

>>279999844
>bragging about the thing I never talk about by not saying anything
I appreciate you bro.

>>279999784
ok, she does, but only with the guys

>>279999865
soon animated

>>279999878
That guy had a fantasy sex scene with her. Umi’s sex scene is later coming up once the anime reaches THAT part.

>>279999865
why did Kazuya let that nobody just take her like by the arm like that?

>>279999920
That nobody’s just built different.

imaging getting so many LCPs you can waste them on "Chizuru through the seasons" IRL

>>280000029
and you just add Chizuru to some photo

>>279994118
>Mid right panel shows a suspiciously identifiable woman.
So Chizuru's mom also did gangrape JAVs.

>>280000045

>>280000059
and the newest, we still don't have spring, I don't think
if anything this is the only proof I need to know the manga isn't ending anytime soon

>>279999915
I've been reading not watching, but did the regular ones make the anime? There must be at least 50 before paradise at least. If they didn't make it in then there's no way that ill.

>>280000029
Double color pages Chizuru might as well be a different person than manga Chizuru. If this was about a mental person dreaming up his perfect fictional girlfriend everywhere he sees like that one chapter it would have been going places.

>>280000155
the IRL Chizuru definitely is a different person, she's Reiji's girlfriend

>>280000155
>his perfect fictional girlfriend
You mean the younger smarter and more sexually aggressive Mini?

>>280000094
SHUT UP I HATE YOU

>>280000055
Chizuru's JAV debut when?

>>280000094
They did but with a pink purple filter and with 1 frame shown. Umi’s scene will be different though I kind of wonder how they will handle it?

>>280000194
Do you have a screenshot my very kind and generous friend?

>>280000204
No
but it’s a 1-1 copy of the manga it’s not all that different.

>>280000175
Mini won’t show up out of the blue in the middle of some scenery just to stare at you. Maybe.

>>279999920
That "nobody" is Juudai tho.

>>280000193
>Another hint at mom's path and possible cause of death.
Soon.

>>279999335
That's Kazuya's PoV. Unreliable narration.

>>279998107
The twist:
This goes a neverending gag manga where all the cast except Kazuya, Chizuru and mayhaps Sumi are killed off.

>>279995172
Guess who's the kanogirl who keeps reading shoujo manga...

>>280000651
what kanogirl?

>>279993989
>Those moments where he recalled the date with Mini.
He even knows that deep down he had more fun with Mini than with Chizuru

>>280000651
Mini?

>>280000714
Ruka.

>>279999999
>>280000000

>>279993030
now if only kazuya knew she tried to pull this on him while he was out

>>280000798
Makes sense he's the scumbag shoujo LI from her perspective.

>>279953382
And that's a good thing.
She'll ride Kazuya like a fucking horse.

i've been reading this shit since november 2018, when is it going to end

>>280000821
>if only kazuya knew she tried to pull this on him
Somebody already animated a scenario of exactly that.

>>280000638
That's a super weird time travel story where all life followed by the earth and moon are infected by an outer god Cthulu virus that makes them sentient and bent on the genocide of humanity
The time travel work by synchronizing with their future corpse such that the present and the future become the same thing, or something.

>>280000783
>love is a lonely road and everything you are doing with me is counterproductive
>narrator text: totally dependent

>>280001225
Everything Mini does has double intentions.
Imagine if by the end of this date and once Kazuya's finally out of Chizuru's house, she sees, in her gacha and JRPG vidya autism, a depressed Kazuya as a battered and beaten to the brink of death hero who needs healing and gives Kazuya a peck on the lips. Not a forced and desperate tongue rape or a kodomomuke kiss made to save face, but just a simple, and even impulsive kiss under the excuse of being all of a sudden and saying she felt the urge to give the hero some energy.

>>280000798
The girl that the nerdiest thing she has ever done is watching some series on a pc? Really?

>>280001375
Kissing him with Chizuru still on his back would be the absolute top moment in this entire manga.

>>280001399
Post cohab beginning shows a panel where Ruka was reading a shoujo manga (it was when Kazuya lied to her about living with his parents). Dunno if they were at the karaoke or in a manga cybercafe with private booths, but i remembered Ruka was with her school uniform and without shoes.

>>279993701
If I were Kazuya's shoes I'd tell Ruka to fuck off for good, tell Mami to stop being a bitter bitch, tell mommy (Sumi) to be gentle with the shotas, tell Mini if things don't work out with Chizuru then I'll impregnate her

>>280001422
Mini isn't that much of a shamelessly sneaky bitch. If she dares to go healer on a fatally wounded hero, she'll do that in private.

>>280000942
>She'll ride Kazuya like a fucking horse
You wish Rukatard, only Chizuru, Mini and Kazuya have a chance at doing that

>>280001442
That would be so hilarious that it would be worth a retcon, and yeah I know it's not going to happen.

It's gonna be so fucking cathartic when Ruka finally gives up on Kazuya, I hope this series ends with her fully becoming Mami 2.0

>>280001375
>if a girl likes you she just puts on a skirt
>Chizuru: no way that skirt is just too short
>Mini is pictured wearing one even shorter

>>280001607
Ha, you wish, Zurufag.
Her feelings will never change.

>>280001760
I was trying to be nice but ok, Ruka doesn't change her feelings and STILL loses, that's just cruel anon

>>280000190
Why?

>>280001786
ALL OF YOU ARE SHIT, YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ME, YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BE WITH ME, I DON'T WANNA SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN, GET OUT OF THIS BOARD ALREADY!

I really don't understand Rukafags, narratively Ruka has nothing going for her now, there's not a single ending where she actually gets with Kazuya, see I like Mamifags because they're humble and they're just here to support Mami rather than wishing for a ship that will never happen (One of them also gave me a handie once but that's a story for another time)

>>280000693
Kek.
Everytime she remembers she let herself be vulnerable to Kazuya, she gets the icks, as if she got disgusted by that.

>>280000193
Soon. The porno's call is stronger than every attempt to be a functional woman and requests are piling up. Some of them also include bakky and facial abuse.

>>280001843
>narratively Ruka has nothing going for her now
This is a Rukuri board.

>>280001846
Kek you tried

>>280000094

>>279999300
The hilarious and amusing shit about this is that Chizuru thinks Kazuya is the arrogant one, and worse, a braggar who talks big, but can't prove his worth. And all because he had moments of self righteousness in her face, and because he was too full of himself in her very eyes when asking for the date or for the movie shit. The worst shit is that she may be right.
He thinks Kibe is a retard beyond any repair, distrusts Ruka even more than Mami, looks down on Kuri and pities him.
Redditors think another reason she rejected Kazuya is because she thinks he looks at her with pity based on the sole fact of him never daring to initiate physical intimacy. Shows how much she thinks Kazuya is the arrogant one instead of her.

>>280001863
Good thing she already knows a producer.

>>280001959
Everything you said is wrong, no I won't explain why. Thanks for the bump.

>>280001442
>Mini isn't that much of a shamelessly sneaky bitch.
I like Mini but that’s exactly what she is. If she is willing to help another person cheat who knows what else she is capable of?

>>280001959
>>280000094
Shit. Forgot to reply the "Manzuya delusion" because i find hilarious he sees himself as a chad when trying to sex Mizuhara in his dreams.
In his delusions with Ruka, Mami and Sumi he sees himself as his horny self, and around Mini he sees himself as the prey of a sex predator.

Literally every single Rukafag I've ever encountered has said that Kazuya doesn't deserve to be with Ruka and that they shouldn't be together

Really goes to show how insignificant Ruka is

>>280001959
>Redditors think another reason she rejected Kazuya is because she thinks he looks at her with pity based on the sole fact of him never daring to initiate physical intimacy. Shows how much she thinks Kazuya is the arrogant one instead of her.
Of course she does. Mizuhara thinks of herself as a goddess. And wanting to fuck a goddess is the height of folly for someone like him to her. It will never happen because in the end she looks down on him like a peasant who gives her money for free not as a romantic partner. And if she wants someone to carry her all over town on their back when she could have just called a cab she WILL get it because she is apparently a princess also.

So she thinks he doesn't initiate physical intimacy because she thinks he just feels bad for her, he's not actually attracted?

>Kazuya doesn't deserve to be with Ruka
He doesn’t. Not after the way he treats her. But if Ruka won’t ever leave even after everything maybe they should be together.

>>280002254
>Not after the way he treats her
Deserved, she should have backed off

>>280002225
Actually that

It's the opposite. More like
>How dare HE to not look at me with lust and deceit, but instead with pity and condescendence?? He talks big about loving me, but doesn't have done anything physics to demostrate it. I'll make his life hell for daring to be above me.

>>280002101
Nip rukafags are the opposite. They both push Ruka and Rukazu ship, eapecially after 380.

T.Kuzurucuck.

The trailer pretty much spoiled, even if the arc prior the hawaiians is rushed, the pool chapter is not going to be on this cour.
Hell, it may not be fully adapted since there is random Sumi footage there (from her spinoff).
The nu-claris' op sound the most claris they can be. But lycoreco's op also was the most claris it can be and was a success so there is that.

>>280002883
So the 2 cours end will be her saying there's no way she may fall for a customer and Kazuya's joker laugh.
It would be a bitter way to conclude the season.

>>280002883
>The nu-claris' op sound the most claris they can be
What do you mean?

>>280002712
He's right though, Ruka doesn't deserve Kazuya

>>280003181
Kazuya doesn't even deserves a bullet in the head and I'm saying this out of respect for the bullet

>>280003302
Yea, Ruka is just evil

>>280002883
if they skip adapting 218 the whole season is dogshit

>>280003653
218 will be adapted for the 2nd cour. There's a reason Kanokari's broadcast was delayed 1 hour.
The 2nd cour will end on a bitter note. You all remember SnK S3 Pt. 2 ending? It will have the same atmosphere: one of futility and disappointment. Hopefully the season ending is some TK-T styled song with ominous, melancholic and defeatistic strings.

>>280003302
His internal word salad would simply act as a barrier for his brain.

>>280003784
Sounds like something that would happen in Baki

>>280003736
Ehh so it seems the story might not be rushed. The music from the previous seasons is okay but if they completely reuse it without mixing it up that’d be pretty bad. Animation quality looks 1 fps but what can you expect for a dying series. Seems like Reiji went completely hands off and just let the hacky studio do its work.

Reiji did not know about the early distribution on streaming sites
He may be wearing off from kanokari for real this time
BUT does not mean it will end in no less than 3 years - even 5 - if the final arc is near.

>>280004824
He gave more attention to 2 things
>Shiunji broadcastings
>Realise how great Ruka is while watching the 1st 3 seasons of kanokari marathon on DMM TV.

>>280002883
She is so beautiful, I envy Kazuya so much.
