NTRsubhumans keep starving

>>283006418 (OP)
Fuck it I’m taking the white pill and say they’re getting together once Momo gets her memories back. Which will be no more than 10 COUNT EM 10 CHAPTERS FROM NOW!

>>283006956
Tatsu COULD subvert the entire thing by making them a couple while Momo is still amnesiac. It would be a slap on the face of that trope.

>>283007001
Wow, that would be nice.

and you thought okarun crying in this fan comic was ridiculous

>>283006956
I’m taking the amnesia pill and memoryholing this entire arc.

>>283007082
I told you, I take notes! (raughs)

>>283007082
If anything he got it way softer than most of us expected, we expected Momo to be cold and distant to him, instead she tells him "I don't remember you... but my heart goes doki-doki when I see you somehow"

What obliterated the hype?

>>283006744
Cute sisters!

Okarun is easily one of the worst modern shounen protagonists. 200 chapters for what? He didn't grow one bit.

>>283007146
If he gave her eye contact she probably would have melted on the spot

>>283007405
Can’t have anyone be more popular than muh female shounen MC.

Leave the crying to me.

>>283007405
>He didn't grow one bit
Can't disagree more.
Sure, he dropped his spaghetti, but you try to keep composure while confronting the reality of your first friend/oneitis forgetting everything about you.
Momo is his entire life and his reaction was what I would have expected of him.
Scared but determined.

>>283007637
>>283006082

The art is getting worse. The bodies are square and the faces wide. Only Komi melt was worse.

>>283007680
You're exaggerating it because it still looks good, it just gradually changed style and moved into a "cleaner" aesthetic.
Although I do miss a bit the initial style with its fluffiness.

>>283007680
it's our fault for making him successful, he's not hungry anymore

>>283007760
Now he’s sabotaging his own success like every successful mangaka does.

homie did a ken takakura here. he got his balls back and now he's going to grow his metaphorical pair of balls (again imo) and get his future wife to fall inlove with him again.

>>283007760
A terrible cycle, the result is me losing interest.
If not for the anime being so good i might be close to dropping this

Both were so adorable in today's chapter.

>>283007912
That was because Fujoshimoto lost his assistants

>>283007917
Both are wrong. He was understandably distraught considering how much she meant for him, but he didn't d idn't pull anything extraordinary with endless confidence either.
He did what he had to do with sincerity, and cut the bullshit. He was too hard on himself as usual before that page (be it pride or insecurity), but overall he did well.

>>283007837
the edit is just self insertion and headcannon from low IQ individuals. assuming you are the one that posted it you're just defending NTRfag agenda so watching you and your ilk take the L time and time again is very satisfying.

>Jiji doesn’t give a shit about Momo
>Zuma doesn’t give a shit about Momo
>Ex boyfriend doesn’t give a shit about Momo
So Okarun is the only guy chasing her.. I thought Momo was supposed to be the hottest shit in the school? Or was that a retcon only said so Okarun self inserts can have a false sense of victory via getting some pussy that nobody except him cared to put effort in getting

>>283008017
>He did what he had to do with sincerity, and cut the bullshit
Yeah. that's a ken takakura move. That's why I said it. And that's why she she blushed.

>>283007741
kek imagine the whiplash

>>283008075
I'm pretty sure the edit was done by a Pinkcuck.

>>283008147
what's the difference?

>>283007952
So? It looks like shit regardless. I couldn't care less what the reason was.

ftfy

>>283008163
"it looks like shit regardless"
no it doesn't stop over reacting you niggr

>>283008167
You didn’t disprove anything that was said

>>283008086
The last time someone tried to make a move on Momo, Okarun nearly put him through a wall. I think that kind of thing sticks with people.
>>283008181
Go back to your general, chainshitter

>>283008163
It does, but Fijiwater's art decline was different from Tatsu's, the former never had the talent to pull CSM P1 by himself.

>>283008086

I'm sure you'll convince everyone.

>>283008316
>Zuma isn’t sexually attracted to Momo at all
I think he kinda was at first (who wouldn't be?), but when she started mumbling Okarun's name in her sleep, he took the hint. Zuma is a good man. Unlike SOMEBODY I know.

>>283008195
You just need to read and not be stupid

Anything else, princess?

>>283008086
desu I wouldn't mind it if Momo were the middest girl who ever midded
Or, like Rin, hiding her appeal behind anti-sex attire
Would make the contrast between her and Aira funnier

>>283008343
The person in your image isn't wrong.
No matter how much you cope, Airatards are always making edit-shitposts to clutter the threads.

>>283008086
>I thought Momo was supposed to be the hottest shit in the school?
This was for sure a retcon. If this was true it doesn’t make sense for Hase to have never made a move on Momo, Hase is a popular kid and doesn’t even know she exists. Momo being the hottest and wanting the nerd he bullied should’ve been the source of his hate and jealousy towards Okarun, not losing a fucking race by 0.5 seconds.

>>283008451
>Hase
He doesn't give a shit about Aira (most popular girl) simping for Okarun OR Vamola (same class) calling him her boyfriend either
Hase's probably closeted

>>283008348
My boi Zuma is too pure for this world.

>>283008475

I dont think I have seen Aira posting that isnt a joke like her disguising herself as momo.
Jijifans meanwhile will defend him to the hilt on everything.
Honestly I still think shipping arguments in a series like this are so weird. At least in regards to Momo and Okarun, their pairing is the thesis statement of the manga

>>283007146
>we expected Momo to be cold and distant to him
speedreaders were expecting this

5 MORE ARCS UNTIL MOMO AND OKARUN ARE OFFICIALLY MARRIED

>>283008548
Because Airafags know Aira is a pointless ship, so they just have fun with the failed homewrecker.
Jijifags actually cling onto hope Momo will give him a try.

>>283008571
This. Our MC Momo is a good girl.

>>283008548
Obsessive haters are retarded.
Jijifags are not all bad, they're just partially hijacked by ntrfags.

>>283008573

>>283008571
>>283008589
cold and distant doesn't mean bitchy, it just means cold and distant, since she doesn't know him and okarun is a spaghetti spiller

>>283008482
>like 9 times out of 10 when possessed by a ghost you just grow a cool mask with spooky razor teeth
What did Tatsu mean by this?

>>283008591
They are hijacked yeah but what baffles me is how like >>283008574 indicates, Airafags seem to know that its a doomed ship. Jijifags seem dedicated to believing that they have a shot.
Or more recently obsessively claiming seiko x jiji is a thing which im not convinced isnt just one guy.

>>283008451
>>283008086
>retcon
You people have such pitiful reading comprehension it's ridiculous

>>283008614
But that theory also didn't hold up because someone must have told Momo that Okarun is someone important to her.

>>283008573
>finale chapter is set 10-15 years after the end
>reveal they did in fact get married with kids but also are now divorced

>>283008639
>claiming seiko x jiji is a thing
A thing as in "a current actual relationship" or "a possible ship"?
Because in the latter case, how is that a problem? It doesn't even disturb the main couple, quite the opposite.
Such a crazy age-gap would be kinda based from Tatsu, to be honest.

>>283008706
The claim that it is a actual ship being built up to. Which is stupid considering I highly doubt Tatsu is going to have Seiko commit statutory. Its also a theory built on sand, its only notes are that Seiko praises his abilities and he flatters her, something he does with every female character.

Frankly I think Seiko should be colder to Jiji, his actions ruined her relationship with her grand daughter for years.

>>283008751
>Frankly I think Seiko should be colder to Jiji, his actions ruined her relationship with her grand daughter for years.
Why would Seiko be cold to a literal kid? Her treating him well shows the maturity you'd expect from someone her age.

>>283008751
>Frankly I think Seiko should be colder to Jiji, his actions ruined her relationship with her grand daughter for years.
Eh, he was just a child and he has apologized profusely for it. Seiko is an adult and has a soft spot for these kids under her coarse attutude.
Also I guess that if you wait a couple years at most it wouldn't be statuary anymore.
Still highly unlikely that it will happen, mind you.

>>283008706
>how is that a problem?
Because Jiji showing attention and affection to other girls supports the argument that Jiji was never seriously into Momo. They want Momo picking Okarun to hurt Jiji when it happens, but it won’t, Jiji will move on the next day as if nothing happened like he has with this amnesia bullshit. Aira will be the one that’s hurt.

>>283008786
Real people become more petty the older they get.

>>283008822
nothing to do with jiji
jiji x baba is too much of an age gap, he could be shipped with anyone else his age but tatsu only gave him some chemistry with mola
and yeah jiji will probably move on pretty quickly

>>283008543
Hase gets pegged by Rin

Post OkaMomo comics, I will translate them

So what happened to these people?

>>283008597
after marriage duh!

>>283008639
Jiji X Seiko is the best ship at the moment

>>283008822
I think Jiji will also be hurt. He's a playboy because he's been one his whole life, and he's clearly not as good as Okarun (or Aira) at being direct and honest with his feelings. Not saying he's acting properly as he should if he wants to win over Momo, mind you. He's tip-tapping around it because he can't face his feelings for Momo seriously, probably thinking that he has time in the future to make it all happen "naturally" (theory), or at least he's postponing the problem.
But the kick in the ass will come for him too, and I bet part of his regret will be not having been focused and sincere from the start like Okarun.
But yeah, Aira will suffer more: she tried her best and poured all heart into it, but her feelings were not even received and aknowledged properly. Must be very frustrating.

>>283009042
working at a rival bakery

>>283008822
Not them, but it's not even about that. Jiji has expressed that he likes Momo and she's precious to him. The anime's director said that both Okarun and Jiji are in love with Momo and are love rivals. The official databook states that Jiji likes Momo, has a sincere love for Momo, and that is Okarun's love rival.
Yet, there are some Jijifags here (no one outside this place thinks like this) claiming that Jiji doesn't give a shit about Momo and has moved on to Seiko, despite the series providing no evidence to support this.
If you ship Jiji with Seiko, that's fine, just keep in mind that it's your personal headcanon and nothing more.

>>283009159
>claiming that Jiji doesn't give a shit about Momo

Idk about that, I've just said that at no point in the story has it felt like jiji had romantic feelings for momo. Like at no point has it felt like he wanted to ask her out or anything and is thinking to himself "if only okarun wasn't here".

And man, the brother from spy x family is considered a "love rival" and he's literally her biological brother who's attached to his sister like a baby to a teet with his entire character development meant to be finally letting go.

>>283009249
>Momo: Before, I had this Okarun in the palm of my hands?
>Like this!?
>Mi/Mu: Yeah, well, pretty much
>Okarun: Pretty much...?

>>283009255
>Like at no point has it felt like he wanted to ask her out or anything and is thinking to himself "if only okarun wasn't here".
I dunno, he was clearly wanted to go there with his "do you like anyone?", for example.
Or when he saw Okarun push him away to take care of Momo after EE attacked her.
But then again, he's even more cowardly than Okarun with Momo, so he seems not to be able to do much more than these touch-and-run techniques.

>>283008889
Digits confirmed that will happen too.

>>283009159
>it's your personal headcanon
There’s literally more Jiji x Seiko ship bait moments in the manga than Jiji x Momo. That’s the reason the ship exists, it’s not something people made up out of nowhere for memes. This current Arc gave us an overdose of it that it can’t be ignored anymore. I wouldn’t be surprised if Seiko gets de-aged to a teen again to justify Jiji x Seiko like Trunks x Mai in Dragon Ball.

>>283009042
Who?

>>283009473
Whatever you say, shipper sis. Your ship doesn't exist outside of this place. There's no point in talking to you people.

The literal databook says this isn’t true. Why do Okarun self inserters project the insecurities that Okarun has onto Jiji? It’s rare that Jiji flirts with Momo because Jiji isn’t serious about Momo, she’s just another pretty girl to him.

>>283010055
>Jiji isn’t serious about Momo, she’s just another pretty girl to him.
This is fuckin delusion, man. Jiji selfinserters are truly pathetic.

>>283010055
>muh self inserters
Such a boring, mouth-breather argument.
I didn't yet read the data book, that was just my interpretation of it. Regardless, he literally does admit in 92 that he's bad at being direct with Momo. He might have got better with it going forward, but he didn't start very well at the very least.
Also, you're literally posting a page in which he says Momo is important to him: either you accept that he's sincere, or that the databook is wrong and she's just a pretty girl to him.

>The anime's director said that both Okarun and Jiji are in love with Momo and are love rivals. The official databook states that Jiji likes Momo, has a sincere love for Momo, and that is Okarun's love rival.
The actual story gives us no indication that Jiji treats Momo any differently than a npc girl he flirts with, that’s why Momo pays no attention to his flirting because Jiji does the same routine with every girl.

>>283010844
With Momo and Aira being both left out for additional comedy, somehow.

She might be jealous/protective of her friend, or embarassed at the unexpected crossover.

I'm not sure why you immediately jumped to that, I was just wondering if Momo would approve of her friend dating that dofus.

>>283009882
>Kinta is in a full body cast after hitting on Momo and Aira

>>283010803
>>283010819

I think Jiji should surprise everyone and start dating Ririna.

>>283010471
Spell what out? I was replying to a dude that said Jiji is more of coward than Okarun when the literal databook says that the opposite. Jiji never gave Momo a confession because he has no confession to give her, not because he’s a “coward”. Momo and Jiji have a platonic brother/sister bond and it reflects in his relationship with Seiko being like his 2nd mom/auntie.

>>283009882

I always thought Miko liked Jiji more than Muko. If you notice she’s always the one to mention him.

wow the anime really fixed those ugly bitches
>>283011616
>because everyone around enable
Im sure "being thrown stuff every day" doesnt count as enabling anybody
if anything sounds like projection

>>283010936
The narrative would force Momo to approve. She would look like a complete bitch for not wanting her friends to date Jiji when they’ve been the biggest supporters of her dating Okarun.

>Okarun wants their relationship to be authentic and genuine, not forced
>he doesn’t want Momo to feel obligated to talk to him just because she was told they are good friends
>meanwhile, Momo is curious about why Okarun feels so special and significant to her
I like it desu

>>283011247
>got Momo the job
Does Momo still have that job, she's missed a lot of work, did anyone tell senile Momo that she works at a maid cafe?

>>283011931
It’s unrealistic and makes the amnesia plotline pointless and a waste of time. Also adds character regression for Okarun.

Honestly, this is one of my favorite chapters in the entire manga.

>>283012095
It's extremely ironic since most thought this would've developed Okarun. This mangaka keeps doing the opposite of what everyone expects, but in a bad way.

>>283012095
I couldn't disagree more, but you do you, anon.

>>283012095
It doesn't do anything like that. Okarun was handed the opportunity to just be passive with Momo as he's often been but he straight up rejected it and decided he would take matters into his own hands.

>>283012095
I couldn't agree more, and you are right, anon.

>>283012197
That's cool and all but there was no need to do a dumb amnesia plot for that to happen.

>>283012223
I don't think it's dumb. I think it's being done well.

>>283012197
>Okarun was handed the opportunity to just be passive with Momo as he's often been but he straight up rejected it and decided he would take matters into his own hands.
And he failed abysmally at it.

>telling Momo about it instead of actually doing it

>>283012295
He just got started. Narratively speaking, he had to be offered the easy path but decide to take the harder but more fulfilling path. Basic storytelling.

>>283012244
It sure is. Hopefully this atrocious arc ends quickly so you retards can stop praising garbage.

>>283012362

I'm glad we agree.

>>283012367
Mine are good. You're just filled with caustic bitterness.

Momo on the front page!

>>283012401
If being tired of obvious progression stalling is being caustically bitter then sure, I accept the title. At the end of day it was Tatsu's "mistake" for developing their relationship "too fast" and expect your average shonen readers to like it. Maybe now he gets it "right" by delaying Momo's reply by a couple of years so that you lobotomites can be happy.

>>283012385
If you don’t think that chapter 213 Okarun acting like chapter 1 Okarun isn’t character regression then I don’t know what else to say to you.

>Tatsutards are in complete damage control
Absolutely astonishing.

>Anon it's the fucking beginning of the story
We're in April 2021 again?

>>283012095
>unrealistic
who fucking cares

>>283012385
please understand, dandadan's readerbase has become infested with literal children with fried attention spans

I think the weird part of all of this is that Okarun, did literally confess already. And Momo effectively accepted. Frankly I think the only reason she pushed it back "officially" to when she was big was so she could kiss him.. I do appreciate how Okarun is being written here, its a emotional roller coaster for him and I like the concept of him trying to force himself to be more direct.
But like I said because the confession and acceptance are a foregone conclusion roadblocks in the way to that point are going to be infurating. Even if I like how this part of the arc may unfold Im probably going to be marginally annoyed most of the way

>>283012568
Exactly. This arc would be way less annoying if the confession didn't happen already but it's been over 15 months and counting since that happened so this shit reeks of obvious progression stalling for the sake of progression stalling.

>>283012645
I feel like this arc may be back to mostly momo and Okarun to wrap this up, They are already alone in a dead end so I figure they are about to get jumped by something. Okarun will then be able to focus on the one thing he is always direct about, protecting momo. She will feel some kind of way about that of course

>>283007680
You can tell the manga is going to shit because a bunch of schizos started a general. That's the sign the quality is over.

>>283012452
will momo ever get to ride okarun again?

>>283012778
It's simply the aftermath of an anime adaptation.

>>283012778
>>283012847
Yeah, and it's hilarious how they kept using the same stupid words like "stalling".
Like, who are these people?
I've been in this shithole since beginning and this is the first time i heard someone use the word stalling when talking about anime plot.

lmao get a load of this 'tard

>>283012247
Nigga was basically being handed a win on a golden plate with Momo being the one to approach him, but he was all "Nah, it ain't gon' be like that, Imma EARN this shit!"
He wants to prove to Momo that he's worthy of her, of her love, and most importantly, that he's worthy of himself. He's taking the harder path because it will prove once and for all that he needn't fear failure, because he's already succeeded from second one just by showing the fuck up. He's the kind of man we should all strive to be like, tears and all

>>283012752
OH SHI-

>>283013426
It’s stupid and unnecessary because he’s the only one competing for Momo. No one else cares, so him winning her over again does nothing but serve as filler, this only works if Tatsu implies that Okarun wasn’t worthy of Momo the first time, which goes against what his fanbase thinks.

>>283013502
He's repeating the story beats of Jiji's introduction too.

>>283013502
>It’s stupid and unnecessary because he’s the only one competing for Momo
Nah. It's not. cry and seethe about it more

>>283013502

>>283013586
>no u
I accept your concession.

>>283013502
Its always been beneath the surface that Okarun hates on himself more than he should as any young, stupid, dumb teenager does Its less about proving he's worthy of her (the very fact she subliminally longs to see him is proof enough of that), it's more about proving to himself that it's not just some fluke of luck that's gotten him this far, or that others have gotten the wins for him. Hes doing all this as his way to man up and say to himself "Yes, I am worthy! I am awesome! I am going to VIGOROUSLY and WHOLESOMELY hold the SHIT out of Miss Ayase's hand!"

Obvious hoodweeb is obvious

>>283013603
It's not unnecessary it's classic issun-boshi and classic ken takakura romance. it'll also develop the story and you'll forget all about being angry.
You need to stop being a little mad bitch all the time and just read the chapter and go about your day instead of crying about it. Story is going good.

>>283013636
So it’s turning Momo into a trophy for him to win to wank his own ego. This whole thing makes Okarun look like the most insecure protagonist to exist. If he changes into the prototypical Boy Scout anime lead then it’s proof that his original character wasn’t worthy of Momo, if he stays the same and Momo loves him anyways then this whole thing was a waste of time. Tatsu wrote himself into a lose/lose situation with this one.

>>283013650
>clearly projecting his anger on me
>throwing a tantrum because he cannot refute that Tatsu is repeating past character arcs
Funny.

>>283013909
>repeating past character arcs
this isn't a bad thing like you think is and it's more of a building upon of past arcs not a repeat. This is a good thing and it's an entertaining thing. If you don't like it and are angry or annoyed about it, genuinely don't read for a month. If it really is just a repeat, you won't miss anything.

>>283014011
this was a good chapter

>>283014011
Because it's a useless arc that only serves to delay the inevitable. As already said before the idea behind it isn't completely flawed but the confessions already happened over a year ago so this only serves to keep Momo and Okarun from being together for longer.

>>283014011
It was a good chapter. One of the best chapters in the series, unironically.

>>283014011
Because Jiji destroyed his haters when he tried to give Momo away to Okarun by putting in a good word for him instead of trying to steal her for himself. They now can’t blame anyone but Okarun when shit inevitably goes bad for him.

>>283014455
In this chapter Tatsu literally used Rin as a proxy to tell Kinta (aka the readers) that they’re not important to Momo and won’t be around that much in this Arc

>>283014072
Concession accepted. These moments are indeed great moments of the manga and especially Momo x Okarun. Most of the reception everywhere I've seen is good towards this chapter and arc. Reddit likes it, X likes it, Instagram likes it /a/ is split but doesn't really count tho. really the only people mad about this are pink and ntrfags or tourists

>>283014166

Unironically, he's kind of dumb but he's actually growing a spine. Old Okarun would have just taken the handout.

>>283015043
The author is writing something I didn't ask for, so it's bad. The author believes he knows these characters better than I do. What a joke

>>283014527
Noticed that. The only ones that seem to be relevant for this one are the first 4 (Momo, Okarun, Aira, and Jiji).

>>283015043
This is a necessary development, I do still dislike amnesia as a plot device here.

>>283014940
Everyone seems happy with the chapter. Honestly, everyone was expecting much more angst. Tatsu enjoys scaring the fanbase lol

>>283015160
Difficult to make Okarun insecure otherwise considering how obsessed Momo was with him.

>>283015185
But that's the crux of the issue. There's no reason to make him insecure now when he was the one who confessed first.

>nonstop author glazing
That's how you know the chapter wasn't well received.

>>283015237
What a strange heuristic.

>>283007001
It feels kinda weird especially if okarun is like I love you and I was sure you loved me too and she's got feelings at an unconscious level she goes with. It would feel like okarun was railroading her just enough to take some sweetness away while not actually being in the wrong

>>283015246
Please understand, CSMsissy isn't handling it very well. No NTR has apparently ruined his day.

>>283015203
I will say that's the main thing I don't like about this development, it's weird to put the burden back onto Okarun when we were waiting on Momo to accept the confession

>>283015315
The burden never stopped being on Okarun's plate.
He confessed, but it had to be pulled out of him by force, since he thought Momo could die. He still needed to grow a spine. Especially because Momo is a legendarily territorial girl and Okarun was too spineless to shut down other girls (especially Aira) flirting with him.
The amnesia is kinda lame as a way of doing it but it's better to address it.

>>283015349

Wasn't that in the context of "Season 2" to bait people who have the expectation of "rivals therefore straight hating each other on sight" e.g. SlamDunk into seeing that the rivalry doesn't go that personal?

>>283015386
Ew

>>283015371
What the fuck is this logic? Before she got sucked into the board game they were happily enjoying each other's company and slowly but surely progressing to confessions on the part of each member. They were actively chasing down Okarun's second ball because he was incomplete when Momo was forcibly abducted into the box. Of course thinking you're about to lose your loved one provokes you to throw natural progression out the window- you want them to know everything you were hesitating to say. Momo by contrast didn't even reciprocate the confession, she put one in a long line of arbitrary conditionals on their required love. Which is fucked because she's just as in the dark as Okarun on whether she was going to die or not.

Fuck, people defending every bit of this manga love to turn their brains off and just parrot post hoc justifications for the bad writing

>>283016057
It's people being way too used to how most manga treat romantic development, so when DDD goes from having a steady but way faster progression compared to everything else to the generic slog they're used to they start rationalizing it as being just like everything else so there's no way it could be bad.

>>283016057
>confession confession confession
I'm not one to defend HACKsu but you all really want a generic love story if all you care about it is the confession. Ken has flaws he has to deal with still. So does Momo, but Ken absolutely needs to stop being a doormat and start asserting himself.

>>283016134
>t. virgin who believes people need to deal with all their issues before starting a relationship

Why is everyone so mad? This chapter was the Momokarun SoL slop that everyone was begging for all year.

>>283016134
I am literally just addressing the notion that Okarun was guilty of some impropriety for being forced to confess to Momo as the entirety of the board game world crumbled around them. I've seen multiple people try to justify this new attitude Okarun's been forced to take by saying that he basically did none of the legwork when the reality is that for how socially stunted Okarun supposedly is, he is reciprocating or advancing their relationship just as often as Momo. I can't stand this bullshit notion that Okarun has been entirely passive, especially when the only rebuttal for his confession is "well.. maybe he should have confessed before she got abducted and disappeared for most of a week and he had to battle another crazed yokai user to save her". Ridiculous

>>283016154
Not sure if bait, mental retardation, or just plain speedreading, but he does need to work on the one flaw that keeps triggering Momo

>>283016212
Yeah, that's a fair point, he has made a lot of legwork himself. Would almost feel like gaslighting, but to be fair these are Okarun's thoughts seeping out.
Him downplaying the effort he made and only feeling like she put all the work in is annoying but extremely in-character.
Unfortunately no one can correct him because the only person who would call him out for being a retarded self loather (Momo) is amnesiac.

>>283016162
They didn't want amnesia to go with that tho

>>283006418 (OP)
You can tell Tatsu's editor is forcing this slop. The man avoided all of the cancerous forms of mainstream clichees for 200+ chapters and then this happens.
This could be the turning point where in a few years we all go "this is where the manga started dumpstering"

>>283016372
Yeah, it's really weird to have this shit forced after everything that happened until chapter 160 something when Okarun confessed. It really feels like this is an "overcorrection" coming from his editor or the Jump higher ups because they want to stretch this aspect of the story as much as they can now that DDD became even more popular after the anime.

>>283016262
The dynamics that Momo is having with everyone is as if the amnesia didn’t happen so it’s nearly irrelevant, the only thing that it will have an impact on is her not remembering she has powers

>>283016455
You can't possibly believe this

>>283016570
Is that not what’s literally happening in the chapters?

>>283014401
Because we are in the middle of an arc that is not battle related. Just wait4 or 5 more weeks when the bad guys appear and then everything will be faster.

Then again I'm still not sold about the arc itself, but it's been 4 chapters yet so whatever.

>>283014434
It's okay, but what I was looking forward was more side interaction.
We got some for now, I especially liked those in the previous chapter (Aira coming back like that made me smile), but overall it was still mostly focused on Okarun and Momo so I wish we'll get some more from others soon.

>>283017827

>>283017827
>This manga had perfect relationship growth
no it didn't it just had mindless cutesy shit and Momo having to forcibly drag Okarun out his shell to get him to even say hi, the confession is the only time Okarun took any initiative

>>283018216
Yeah, and that's why we need 100+ more chapters of literally nothing for Momo and Okarun to "earn" the right of being a couple. It honestly feel like you retards are so used to garbage that you have a severe reaction to anything that tries something different.

>>283014595
The obsession is quite ridiculous. She was not even in the chapter and yet someone managed to seethe at the cutie out of nowhere.

>>283018255
I'm just tired of people losing their minds over their mediocre relationship, go read something else if shipping shit is all you want.

Some people keep saying this, but I still have no idea how that's supposed to be different from any other arc.

>>283018731
>full relationship reset between Momo and Okarun
not a full reset, this arc is for post-anime newfags to the manga
the way it is set up momo's subconscious still obsesses over okarun, a few chapters and she'll be back to being a blushing mess due to exposure
lame that animefags are pampered but whatever

>>283018790
It's still a retarded decision and I don't remember if something similar ever happened on other series that had a successful anime adaptation.

>>283018737
Other arcs were at least original. Deathworm on the plane just straight up reused the same characters (Kitos) without any development or progression (after being seemingly set up to go in a different direction after first deathworm was defeated). Also it fucked up the Empty Space concept.

Cute and Canon!

>without any development or progression
It showed that the other Kitos had just been freed (although I hope it's not also setting up a redemption arc). The hanging plot point is stil is still there, but clearly it wasn't time to use it yet given the recent event.
Reusing characters is something that's bound to happen, with characters come and go for one fight or the other: with all the characters that have been constantly introduced, they will have all to cycle back on the spotlight. Peole comlain about the character bloat already, imagine if they didn't. You can bet Hase is not done seething for example, and he will definitely come back as an enemy or against a common one.
Anyway, as for the Kito, it might also be that the plot needed them specifically on the plane (or even on the moon).

>>283019298
This dude is probably not coming back though. No point considering how Momo still subconsciously simps for Okarun anyway. Unless he's supposed to be another jobber.

>>283019326
Red Baron still has the knives, right?

>>283019326
That's a different case, yeah.
He's a literal no name used to showcase Momo's range as a character rather than to be a character himself.
Then again, you never know.

>>283007001
That's not a subversion, that's the most tropey fucking way to write oneself out of this shit.

>This time she's the one to confess.
>Power of Love (tm) restores her memories and unlocks her powers during critical moment

>End of amnesia saga.
I fully expect Tatsu to use this amnesia bullshit as a setup for the whole current saga just like he used Okarun losing his balls at the end of TG arc as a setup for the first saga. It's fucking ass, but it's still less stupid then amnesia resolving at the end of this arc with some bullshit trigger like Okarun telling her his name (though I fully accept this might be what is going to happen, it's 50/50 at this point).
There's no good way to write yourself out of a fucking amnesia arc because it's a stupid trope to begin with and Tatsu is retarded for touching it. It's 100% a fucking editor-mandated setup to onboard animeonly tourists that skipped straight to recent chapters (common in nipland). But it remains to be seen if it's just a one-off event, or if he soft reset the whole fucking thing and wants to make a whole saga out of it (this will fucking suck when adapted and might actually kill the anime, but these retards probably don't think that far ahead).

>>283019402
>possibly even by Enenra
That's retarded (truce or not) because Jiji and Seiko will tell her that he's the one who hospitalized his grandmother.
I know that earlier Momo had a bad relationship with Seiko, but that would be ridiculous to easily accept it even in this scenario.

>>283019402
>That's not a subversion
In nipland? It's a massive subversion, the common structure is that the relationships are on hold until the problem is solved (which is literally what happened when Momo became small)
If Momo goes "ok everyone tells me that we were close and I figured out that what I feel for you is clearly more than friendship, so I think we should start dating", that would triple as Momo confessing, Momo having agency despite her handicap, and btfoing doomfags.

The main Kito woman turned out to be a non-human, some kind of cryptid. My impression was that she didn't give a fuck about her "family" and it could all be a part of some bigger, more sinister ploy. Instead Kitos are back, and they are just these wacky, zany jobbers. And the worm is back. But now they are on the moon. This screams of "see! these are the characters from the thing you just watched!"

Why not? Maybe he wants you to forget it so that he can pull it back in another 100 chapters when you least expect it. I had nothing against it when the arc was ongoing, personally.
Anyway, they're all obviously not humans.

>>283019468
That's fucking retarded, for this to be even remotely believable they need to actually re-develop the relationship.
So far we've had nothing but pottery this chapter, which kinda points to the temporary thing anyway.
But it won't resolve like this, either there will be a mcguffin, or they take the whole saga to resolve this by Momokarun relationship developing again from scratch.
This doesn't make a soft reset/amnesia any dumber.

>Japanese looking ugly bastard people

What did Tatsu mean by this?

>>283020069
>to be even remotely believable they need to actually re-develop the relationship
so... what okarun was telling he was going to do
wouldn't take long considering how momo was subconsciously longing for him anyway + her gal pals have shipped them from the start

Considering the arc is Slice of Life + Momo is confirmed to still be an Okarun fiend, high chance that Momo will try looking at a Ken Takakura movie and find out that while the name still makes her swoon... she doesn't care about the actor's appearance anymore.

>>283017193
Tatsu should make Kouki and Zuma a couple and give them a spinoff since there are too many characters.

>>283012645
The arc is progression more smoothly than most people predicted. People forget that Dandandan's pacing is pretty slow (look at how long the invasion arc is), it's too soon to jump the gun if this is meant to be stalling or if Tatsu wants a bigger pay-off for when they actually end up dating.
You're probably right, but with only 3 chapters of this memory shit so far it's way too early to tell where it's heading. Not many people thought Okarun would have the balls to try and approach Momo immediately even if he runs away the minute he sees her.

Hoping the rageposting has slowed down a bit, let's summarize.
I supppose the purpose of these first arc chapters was to make Okarun vulnerable again.
He has grown under many aspects through his self-improvement autism, so his only weakness is Momo at this point: remove her and he's lost his purpose.
So Momo had to be "taken away" from him somehow, and ntr would have been way too ridiculous an option (also I doubt that Tatsu would have liked it himself, not to mention it would have spelled the death of his carreer).
Thinking about it, this scenario is similar to a:
>"Momo is critical conditions in the hospital, we don't know if she will make it out alive"
except at this point that would have been difficult/contrived to write because we have several healing methods now. Also, at least with amnesia Momo can still be around during the arc, even though her character is crippled now.
So I wonder about the narrative angle here. From the climax of this chapter, at this point I could assume that Tatsu wanted to make sure that Okarun "deserved" Momo by kicking him in the guts and forcing him to try reaching for her less passively this time. This could make sense, except I doubt that any reader saw that part of their dynamic as a problem, and maybe there were less painful ways to address this anyway. Although maybe it was a problem for Okarun, and we just didn't know: maybe he though his relationship was a bit undeserved, given Momo's role. That's another possible explaination I think, since Tatsu knows him better than us. In that case, I hope that Momo will reassure him once she gets back her memories, if he won't have already overcome this last hurdle.
Then there's the additional possible other reason of making Momo fall in double-love, or even preparing a dual emotive climax for both when they'll redo the confession: if done now it would just be happy, while maybe he wants it bittersweet.
Also there might be plot-related hijinks prepared which require Momo being senile.

>>283020904
Good analysis, Mikobro

>>283020616
What's interesting at this point is that the fact her heart remembers implies some things.
For example, disregarding the fact that Okarun wouldn't confess at the moment, how would she react to a confession? What if he told her they were basically dating? I don't think she would straight-up accept it, at least not without some reserve. But still in this scene she was clearly expecting something, even though she probably didn't know what.

>>283020904
>maybe he though his relationship was a bit undeserved, given Momo's role
It's definitely this, little guy doesn't want to be give pity friendship a second time (he rebuffed Momo's offer, even)
Maybe he should have listened to Momo when she told him he brings her comfort, but he was too deep in self loathing for being a wuss.

>>283021036
>little guy doesn't want to be give pity friendship a second time
Are you implying that their first relationships were built on pity?

>>283021032
>how would she react to a confession

>>283021056
no, but he is
momo could tell him he's the love of her life, that she wishes nothing but to have every single one of his children, and he'd still find a way to believe he's not good enough
okarun's self esteem (and trauma) runs extremely deep, which is understandable considering he used to be treated like a public trashcan until he met her

>>283021056
>Are you implying that their first relationships were built on pity?
Not him, but it literally started with Momo saving the poor nerd from bullies. It's not hard to imagine that he might think pity played a big part, at least at first.

Okarun is very reactionary in how he acts, his original confession was prompted by a belief she might actually die. He wants to be more proactive in turn, and doesnt want the burden of action to be on Momo. Essentially he wants to be a equal partner for both their sakes.

Are there any hardcore "red-pilled" mangas out there? No matter how obscure they are. Since Japanese are less prone to Western sensibilities, there should be some schizo /x/ meets /pol?/ mangas.

>>283022013
Okarun…

Mixed opinions on the current arc.
There's not much at stake considering both Okarun and Momo got softballs, Momo still subconsciously longing for Okarun means she won't drift (and therefore won't regret anything after getting her memories back), and Okarun decided to be proactive so they'll be inseparable soon again.
Not much in the way of drama is going to happen (fortunately ntrfags keep starving), so this is likely either a battle arc, a cute ombudsman sized mini-arc, or (unlikely) an arc to close the love triangles.

>>283021714
One of my favorite albums

>>283020904
Everyone is forgetting one IMPORTANT detail about this whole thing. In the beginning Momo fell for Okarun AFTER learning his name was Ken Takakura.
Now, she's going to fall inlove with him BEFORE she learns his name is Ken Takakura.
This is why the amnesia arc, and the "rehashing old arcs" is important AND GOOD for the series.
MomOkarunChads STAY winning

>>283022596
and we WILL get another doki-doki love explosion that will cap off the season either when she learns his name is Ken Takakura again or when he says "I Love you" and looks her in the eye

>>283022052
Because Red Baron’s plan was such a mess that no one is sure if he had a plan to begin with.

>>283022297
I really hope it's a short arc considering everything set up in the last arc(s) was abandoned for this shit..

>>283021719
>someone asks how she's so white if she's Indian
>Kinta blurts out that her father is Irish

>>283022596
My take is that she fell for him despite his name. She even refused to call him by his name since it caused her too much cognitive dissonance. And then when she finally accepted her feeling for him she continued to call him Okarun because it didn't matter to her anymore what his name was. She was over her Ken Takakura (the actor) crush.

This whole arc feels meh to see mainly because Okarun is a different from who he was in Chapter 1 while Momo is back to her Ch1 self. People are saying that this arc is a chance to prove that they would fall for each other regardless of external circumstances, but it would work only if both of them were memory wiped. However, Okarun has advantage of 200+ chapters of growth and progress. If anything, it will be "old" Momo falling for "new" Okarun.

>>283021875
Tatsu gave us Jiji for the fujoCHADS

Once this arc is over the next should be Momo and Okarun babysitting chiquitita, the true test of their relationship parenting.
As an aside, after this wraps up will Momo still call him Okarun? Or will she finally call him Ken.

>>283023185
She'll call him "Four-Eyes" like her grandma does.

>>283022596
Gotta say, Im strait as a arrow to the fucking bone, but even I can see why Momo steams over that absolute cut from the stone MAN. Like hot dayum, that pic just oozes sexual appeal

>>283023274
Seiko called him "Ken" at the end of the Danmara arc.

>>283023111
what's with ddd threads and gets like this?

>>283023111
Nah, that was just a heart jolt before hearing his name, not falling for him.

>>283023433
I meant Ken the actor, but you make a good point as well

>>283023111
>People are saying that this arc is a chance to prove that they would fall for each other regardless of external circumstances
Nah it's not. If it were, Momo wouldn't have her subconscious oneitis.
I think this arc is to clear things up for both of them: Momo gets memorywiped so she can get an unbiased perspective, and EVERYONE acting as if they were a couple would force her to question her own feelings, instead of running away from them. She'll think about it for a while, until the inevitable "shit, I'm in love with him aren't I" realization happens.
Okarun meanwhile gets to try to be an equal partner to her instead of having Momo always intitiate their contact, which regular Momo would no doubt be over the moon for, and more importantly, would make Okarun more secure.

Honestly, this feels like the actual best match for him as soon as he fully accepts it's not happening with Momo.
She's seemingly the only character who can actually match his goofy energy, and won't nag him to death over everything like Aira would.

>>283023545
Idk, Momo will be objectively making a less informed decision about the nature of their relationships in her current situation.
Compare:
>yeah, he isn't perfect but we've been through a lot of stuff together. I am not perfect myself, our relationships won't be like something from Ken Takakura flicks but that's okay.
and
>There is otaku nerd, except he isn't really a nerd and kind of cool. Plus I make safe and comfortable around him for some reason. I guess I love him.

>>283024140
Momo was past "safe and comfortable" and into "can't stop thinking about him for more than 10 seconds" territory.
It would be a process
> who is he to me? >> do i like him? >> why do I love him?

>>283023921

With both of them powerless, I think this is a chance for Tatsu to answer whether they would've gotten together without supernatural circumstances. That's interesting to me.

Exactly. Anyone who says this arc isn't necessary doesn't understand. There is a whole underlying theme of this series about Momo and Okarun being together and it's probably going to directly tied to a MAJOR plotpoint. They will get married and a healthy marriage wouldn't have worked before.
>>283024140
>Momo will be objectively making a less informed decision about the nature of their relationships in her current situation.
completely disagree. This is literally her finding a deeper meaning about him and what he means to her. And this is him literally earning her in the process because of his actions.

I am not crazy, I know he's dragging the romance plot. I knew it would be amnesia, one after the CSG plot as if I could ever make such a mistake, never, never! He - he covered his tracks, he got his idiot fans to defend him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That anime cliffhanger! Are you telling me that an alien girl just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Tatsu! He shrunk Momo to delay the confession! And I read his manga. And I shouldn't have. I even watched the anime! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was Fujimoto's assistant, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the trope drawer! But not our Tatsu! Couldn't be precious Tatsu! Stealing us blind! And he gets to be a mangaka?! What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you - you have to stop him!
