>Iruka
Who?

>>279975049 (OP)
More like Japs love suffering.

S2 when?

>>279975049 (OP)
Top 5 wouldn't be unexpected after all those chapters focusing on her so taking first is a nice surprise.

>>279976448
Hasn't Hikaru actually gone down after she got all of the focus for the last volume?

>>279975049 (OP)
>No new chapter this month
The app said the chapter will be releasing on 6/27 though?

Anyone have the bonus materials from volume 13?

>>279976520
Hikaru got 4th place in both polls

>>279975439
Mika…

>>279975049 (OP)
The dolphin is great so I'm happy she's #1. I'm also happy all the Hikaru glazing hasn't worked and she's still 4th.

>>279977915

>>279976520
Difference is that Hikaru has been always present while Iruka has only been relevant relatively recently, especially in the context of the poll.

>>279975049 (OP)
Hikaru prefers to stare at Inori's butt, so she's fine with 4th. Last time Rioh was in the way, so she slapped him for it.

>>279975049 (OP)
Deserved. Both Inori and Tsukasa have felt pretty flat lately, and while some spotlight on Hikaru was nice at first, it quickly became too much. Her character peaked when she cried on the train. Iruka has been a breath of fresh air since she became a prominent character.

>protagonist getting mogged in popularity polls
Medalist is a real shonen now.

>tsukasa won 1st popularity poll with 1500 votes
>iruka won 2nd popularity poll with 6500 votes
quite the influx of fans, good for them.

>>279981642
And it's not like every vote went to her. She only got a about 100 votes over Tsukasa.

>>279975049 (OP)
Is this really the first time Iruka was shown in color?

Hopefully we see this in the manga as well

>>279977006
So much for Hikaru winning everything

The real robbery is that my man Rioh dropped.

>>279981557
What does Inori need to do to win back your love?
And don't say win.

>>279975049 (OP)
So do Inori and Sensei fuck or not?

>>279983706
Pretty sure yeah

>>279985853
kakkoii..

Wolf

>>279975049 (OP)
Doesn't a popularity poll with this many votes deserve a high effort spread in the actual magazine? This is doodle-tier for the author

>>279985853
You see that smile, /a/? That's the smile of a winner. Just you wait.

>>279992201
honestly she just needs a bit more of an edge, a setting that is not cute cinnamon roll or doom and gloom. It will be hard without sacrificing some of that though.

The puberty arc should be fun

>>279995041
Probably hasty poll or something

Meanwhile the author sent Inori's VA a flower stand with a cute illustration

>>279975049 (OP)
Friendly reminder

>>279997879
Next, a kiss on the lips.

>>279997879
What would be better, kissing Inori's forehead, or getting your forehead kissed by Iruka?

>>279997879
Censored.

>>279995935
What do you think about the last chapter where she gets mad at Tsukasa for the first time?

>>279997879
Iruka sure likes Inori

>>279975049 (OP)
this looks like it was drawn rather hastily.

>>279975439
Manga thread, keep walking

>>279995041
Tsuruma said she was late in drawing the illustration.
It says 11th place onwards will be published afterward
It'll probably all be in next month's issue.

>>279997879
The censored version makes no sense.
Why was this changed? Mika and Inori's kiss in chapter 4 isn't edited.

>>279999563
Iruka had lewd intentions behind that kiss.

>>279999598
I'm sure afternoon has printed much more questionable things than a girl kissing another girls forehead

>>279987089
Nobody cares you irrelevant nigger

>>280001470
This is a thread about the Medalist manga, of course we care about an official MV promoting the latest volume.

>>279975049 (OP)
wat

One day I will read the manga.

>>279975049 (OP)
Why's there zero hype for this show on 4chan? Is it the fujo demographic that drives people away? Seems like nobody cares about this series

>>280010923
I wouldn't recommend that, it would take you 12 hours.

>>280011098
We should be happy we don't have any schizos for this and keep discussions to chapter drops and Iruka winning first place in the poll.

>>280011098
We had a manga storytime some time before the anime came out. We have monthly threads whenever a chapter comes out. And we had a 24/7 pseudo general while the anime was airing. Why do you care about hype? Any more would attract even more schizos and faggots, that's never good.

>>280011277
Please understand, he's a /v/reddit nigger, in his mind anything that doesn't fill 750 posts in 12 hours, even in between updates when there's nothing to talk about, by sheer force of cancer alone, is a dead flop, and you can't change his mind.

>>280011098
>fujo demographic
Been here since the anime started and I know nothing about that.

>>280011277
>pseudo general
Just because it doesn't have a resource OP and thread counter doesn't mean it's not a general. In fact, those threads function exactly like #general channels in anime-related discord servers.

>>280011277
>and faggots
Male characters are more popular than the female ones. It's a series for women and faggots.

>>280011745
I'm neither woman nor faggot.
but as whiny and obsessed as you are, I suspect you might be one or both of these.

>>280011745
>Male characters are more popular than the female ones.
But OP literally states otherwise.

>>280011793
Votes on polls don't mean anything. Merch sales do, and that's where the boys completely dominate.

>>280011098
The show's art direction is ass. Constant CGI models for the figure skating and so forth. Anyone getting into the series on /a/ from the anime will just jump to the manga instead. Only Japan will happily eat up a mediocre adaptation and lick the feet of the studio adapting it just because getting an adaptation at all is a feat for any given manga. However Medalist won multiple awards and is one of Afternoon's big sellers, the fact that the publisher/anime execs didn't shell out for the adaptation is disrespectful towards the manga and its fans. The only solace is that the author achieved her slightly creepy dream of getting her favorite VA for her favorite loli character to voice the MC tailor-made for said VA.

>>280011098

>Why's there zero hype for this show on 4chan? Is it the fujo demographic that drives people away?
Yes and it being inherently anti-male
Fanservice of females (hags and lolis): zero
The other way around? Full nude shota and grown up tsukasa

>I'm not a shitposter! bawwwwww
You're right. It's not even shitposting. Shitposting can be fun and creative. You're only expressing your sad mentally ill schizo self. You're afraid that anyone might like the anime, so you have to camp every thread and repeat the same 3 talking points that is supposed to prove that you're right, or that you're not a sad loser who is absolutely obsessed to the point of mindbreak.

IKR it was my first time posting that image and the shill was quick to attack it
it was on page 10 btw when i posted it

>>280015181
It was on page 8. Why do you have to lie about such simple things?

>>280015181
sometimes the catalog freezes and it doesnt update for other anons
i dont know why he's so offended by this

>>280015230
he's probably the op shill and was offended when he saw a new post when it was the last post of page 10 and would've died if it wasn't bumped

why was that post deleted

>>280014840
truest facts

>>280015230
That does happen sometimes. But I refreshed the page a moment before I made my reply. It was on page 8. I refreshed again after I made my reply, it was on page 1. The catalog wasn't frozen.
Why do you have to be so dishonest?

>>280015250
Nice samefagging. How deranged do you have to be to call OP a shill. I know your mental illness drives you to use negative context and negative "descriptive" wording for literally anything related to this series, but it makes you really obvious.
Consider seeking help.

This general is so shit for how slow it is

>>280015461
The mentally ill spammer must be proud of himself.
I know I'm an idiot for responding to him, which only helps him, but consider that he's been at it for months.

>>280015461
The mentally ill shill must be proud of himself.
I know I'm an idiot for responding to his shill spam for $0.02 cents, which only helps him, but consider that he's been at it for months.

Hikaru, my light...

>>280021557
Hikaru being coached by Tsukasa when.

>>280022223
What's Tsukasa gonna teach her? She is literally him but nurtured by the best at a younger age. She's him if his potential was fully realized as a figure skater.

>>280023030
Nothing. That's why it'd be funny.

>>279975049 (OP)
has inori stopped jobbing yet?
when was the last time she stepped on a podium again?

>>280025153
There hasn't been in a new chapter in 2 months, so no. But the new tournament is starting with basically no other characters of note present so she will probably do well

>>280025153
She choked hard but she's stopped pretending to be okay with it.

>>279975049 (OP)
>>279977006
I don't know anything about this story but I'm kinda confused how the coach is more popular than the loli protagonist?

>>280027104
It's for fujos. He gets shipped with the other male characters.

>>280027104
don't get baited by the little girl poster
there's nothing lolicon in it, only males were sexualised
>>280026874

>>280027104
The loli is a self-insert. Why would she be popular?
Of course women are going to squee more over their surrogate daddy.
