What a good chapter it was, really liked how different Obata feels like in casual clothing. The store uniform makes him into this kinda clumsy guy, while outside he's a nice looking young adult.

Last page. See you next month (presumably). I'll be away for the next chapter and I'm not entirely sure I'll have internet access (or internet that won't filter 4chan) so someon else can feel free to dump if they can. If not, I'll only be a few days.

how is yamada going to address rando business ojisan walking her home to her parents?
I'd assume she 100% downplayed/hid the stalker story from her family and just said she tripped over something randomly to bang her knee.

>>280880727
Parents? What?

>>280880776
her dad looks just like Sasaki, according to her description

>>280880776
didn't she live with her parents?

What the fuck? She's not an uber driver

This is getting annoying and dragging on. And then it will probably end with at most a kiss.

Holy shit Obata the Gentle Giant

>>280878404
Fuck I take it back, Obata's a beast

>>280880938
She doesn't.

>>280880938
>>280880982
It was New Year's, and yeah, it was explicit that she was just visiting her parents and had siblings who didn't also make it.

>>280880842
In that chapter he's drawn without a face but absolutely doesn't -not- look like Sasaki at the level of detail shown.

He might be able to break a man in half but he isn't the scariest one right now.

Shoujo manga experience at work here.

>>280878968
This is the angriest I've ever seen Yamada

>>280886076
If you thought your precious, most trusted salaryman plaything and boss were secretly canoodling behind your back you'd be ready to commit crimes too

This chapter makes me think that Gotou won't survive a night with Obata.

>>280886274
she's gonna get folded in half, and she's a bit old for that

>>280878404

big obata

>>280878826
I'm just glad Sasaki isn't hurt thinking it was done at his expense

>>280889664
It helps that basically everyone admitted it was just a harmless prank that got taken way too far, Yamada included

i get the scans are really high quality but man its hard to read when the images are that big on desktop

>>280878940
angery tayama

>>280886274
It's the other way around anon. Obata strength might help him barely make out of that night (he'll still get hospitalized)

>>280886134
>precious, most trusted salaryman plaything
Weird way to spell "future husband"

Just caught up with this. What this manga wants to do, it does well. Tayamada is cute, Sasaki isn't too annoying, the mood is set up just right.
But the potential is just limited for this kind of story. Obligatory dozens of chapters of ""slow but steady"" progress, obligatory secondary couple that will get more focus once the main couple gets together or is close to that, obligatory resolving each other's issues, obligatory "big moment" once every ten chapters.
Honestly, safe series like this being the most popular subgenre of manga romance is what discourages other authors from writing more emotional and dramatic stuff. I mean, why bother trying to come up with some complex story when you can just write episodic stuff where character just meet and talk, flirt, blush and joke around for hundreds of chapters, and it will sell like hot cakes?
I commend the author for writing more grounded characters, but essentially this is no different from all the teasing manga we've been getting so much in recent years. And I'm tired of that.

>>280893601
I don't know if not being "dramatic and complex" is the problem, but if you want a manga that isn't teasing bullshit then read Hitomi chan. Its safe and episodic, but none of the teasing bullshit and it has actual progress.

>>280893601
You only need to check the volume numbers to understand that the manga isn't moving slowly at all
Anyway, I recommend Yancha gal

>>280894026
>Its safe and episodic
That's the main thing I don't want. I want a full-fledged story, which is not just "this time in our supermarket/classroom/club...". I want there to be actual stakes, not just patiently waiting for the enevitable good ending.
>>280894049
>Anyway, I recommend Yancha gal
That's what I kept in mind when I was typing that, because I think they are fundamentally the same. Also safe, also episodic, also big moment once every ten or so chapters, also with a focus shifting to secondary couple(s). I think Supermarket is slightly preferable to me, because Sasaki is not as insufferable as Seto and doesn't start screaming every time the girl approaches him, but they are still similar.
Don't get me wrong, both are decent, it's just that I want something more ambitious than this.

>>280894212
Yancha gal has the main characters dating and only occasionally focus on the side couples because after the confession Seto and Anjou still have their issues anon

>>280894242
I know. I'm not talking about dating or not, it's more about how everything in Anjou feels pre-determined. No matter how faggy Seto was for hundred chapter, there was no way Anjou would ever be disillusioned, there was no way something could go wrong for them. Similarly with Toyo and Inuyama, there's no way anything can go wrong for them. It's all completely safe, it's all already decided by the author, and all you need to do is to just enjoy the journey to the inevitable happy end.

>>280894402
Yeah, but in Anjou even if you know the end it's important how they'll get to it. Seto is obviously gonna get over his issues with touching her, but how and when it'll happen is important. Same goes for Anjou's dream. It's what makes the story still compelling after the confession unlike other series. Same goes for Super Ura.
Complexity is there, but you won't get angst and edgy drama from romcoms

>>280879124
And so the next chapter will be an unavoidable face to face between Sasaki and Yamada on the way to her home, I get good vibes from this

>>280894402
It's a marketing issue. Readers see this girl/guy first means this girl/guy is integral. In a monogamous setting, not much you can do with that.

>>280892928
Nonsense. Gotou is a poser. She might act aloof and cool but all of her experience come from shoujo manga. She'll porbably spill spaghetti whenever her turn starts.

>>280893601
The gold happens right after you quit

Smoking is not sexy, smoking is gross.

>>280896988
Nah it's pretty sexy. It is gross though.

>>280895842
She has the power of being manager, plus she's apparently good at everything besides getting Yamada to fuck Sasaki.
Oba will for sure get hospitalized

>>280893601
I often wonder why writers usually stay in the safe "teasing romance" plot segments and don't venture themselves more into the post-confession part: love declared, relationship setting and possible issues, living together, helping secondary romantic subplots, dealing with an outside context problem as a couple. You have a lot of situations to exploit as a writer, and if even a casual scrub lurker reader like me who hasn't write shit in his life can notice that, how can they not?
Is it really that hard, are the editors pressuring to mantain the tease to improve sales and hint at an anime adaptation, etc?
i don't want to mention Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa as an example again, but i can't remember many other romcoms that actually adressed these points as well

>>280898634
Yancha is handling the post confession incredibly well, eventual sex included
Bokuyaba is trying, but it's pretty boring, even if it generated some interest with the last chapter that is seemingly headed to sex
Polar opposites did a fantastic job, even if it started basically at post confession and ended too soon due to the author's poor health
Fujiyama-san wa Shishunki is pretty good. A little bit too fluffy for what you are asking though

>>280898634
>looking for another example
Pastel, i guess. Although the pacing was atrocious, holy fuck they took a lot to get to the confession

>>280879124
>Walk her home gently.

>>280898634
Another anon who's missing on Blooming Love, i see

>>280893601
A plaib story told well is better than a wacky story told poorly. In fact, well told plain stories are the ones that require the most skill to make.

>>280899306
I honestly didn't particularly like the lastest arc. Felt too drama-y without substance; "yay, everyone doesn't get to be happy"

Any similar series to this? I've recently read "Kyou Mo Beranda De" or "On the balcony again today" up to the current chapter. It was great, especially when there was progress, but I felt at time like it was a Balcony Gardening for Dummies. I'd like to read some slice of life romance, preferably out of high school, that doesn't feel like a guide to Gardening/Cooking/Cosplay/Camping. Damn, now I feel glad this one isn't a Supermarkets 101 or The Beginner's Guide to Smoking.

>>280879041
Damn, Sasaki will get to fuck THAT?

>>280878404
>It's not that hard for me to fold a person or two in half
The restraint on this guy. He could be using his powers to be a total rapechad, but he chooses peace.

Almost everyone has cucked Yamada at this point: gotou, oba, sasaki's sister, the gremlin, ono, the mangaka and, most of all, Yamada herself
It's a first for Oba though

>>280878968
so much for being a cool beauty

>>280907589
That's the thing, he wouldn't. He was nervous about interrupting and speaking up to drop the guy off but he actively chased him down to fuck him up when he recognized him. He just casually mentioned wrecking his shit like discussing the weather. That meekness/politeness is reserved for people he cares about.

>>280879022
I like how he had to take a second to check if it was Yamada or Tayama before responding

>>280879041

>>280914315
