Thread 283263638

Several of the usual romcoms have either ended or are stalling hard, let's talk about some new or less well known romcoms

pity bump

I really must read the rocket one.

>>283263638 (OP)
>less well known
Because they are all shitto

>>283263638 (OP)
Only the one on the right from Horimiya author started somewhat interesting. The rest are just utter garbage.

>>283264050
meant to say Horimiya artist*

I like the 2nd from the left since it is CF kino

>>283263638 (OP)
i think i have only watched Kare Kano desu, but that's just old, rather than unknown

Hajimete no Gal reached chapter 200 and Junichi finally got to graduate... >>283256237

Does I'm Sick and Tired of My Childhood Friend so I Broke up With Her count as a romcom? I think it does.

Childhood friend lost hard and then she was blackmail raped over a dumb reason.

>>283263638 (OP)
Osanananananananas is pretty cute

>>283264031

>>283264777
>You should
nta but does anything happens or is it just endless status quo?

>>283265448
They're getting closer to finishing the reconstruction of the rocket after it exploded

>>283265448
It's an absolute borefest. I wasn't too high on Giji Harem, but this thing is miles worse. The girl lacks any charisma, they introduce pointless boring characters who take up time and pages.

>>283264800
Yeah me too. I hope the translators will finally hurry up with the newer chapters, now that it will have more people reading it soon.
As for the anime, it's a bit suspicious that there is no any anime visuals ready, but I guess they wanted to announce it right at the end of the "Shy hero and assassin princesses" anime, which is the other series of the writer author.

>>283265975
That's a shame to hear

>>283263638 (OP)
I've been enjoying Norainu to Tenshi-chan It's more of a pure romance than a romcom but has been good so far

>>283264569
>I'm Sick and Tired of My Childhood Friend so I Broke up With Her count as a romcom?
In the same sense as boy's abyss does

Thread slower than usual.
Anyhow, Eroko-san ended recently. Makes sense since there is really nothing to add to the story anymore. Hope the last chapters have a crossover or cameo from Henjo.
Artemis is the newest series I started reading. Senpai is so best that it's completely unfair. 10-nenkan Tomodachi at least has a main heroine you can root for.
Ouji-sama, Wolf-chan, Now that We Draw, and Ane no Tomodachi are the ones I like the most. Not just for the girls but also for the guys. They all have likeable casts.
Cousin has tits. Lots of tits.

>>283268855
>Now that We Draw
I'm still mad at how this went down, there was really no point in adding the CF designated loser, just keep the main couple and focus on them becoming proper mangaka

>>283265975
Rin made Pseudo Harem, she was great, but there wasn't anything else to it apart from her.

This is the only part I hate.

>All the WSJ, WSM, WSS harems are finished or going nowhere
Are there any good harems in the smaller magazines?

Shiroyama-Kun to Mita-San I found funny but also really liked their relationship.

This could fill the hole that Zaako Zako Zako Zako Sensei left behind

>>283263638 (OP)
I read Gimai 5-nin Iru last week and it's better than I expected, nothing groundbreaking so far since it's just the first volume but the cast has been very enjoyable

>>283272279
Someone hertz
Osananananajimi
Houkago, Bokura wa Uchuu ni Madou
Koi to Yobu ni wa Sasayaka desuga

the space one is alright
kubo-san 2.0 is more of the same, but doesn't quite hit
the new one from hagiwara has potential

>>283263638 (OP)
>>283264031
>>283274382
Wait, there's a rocket club romcom?!
>sluuuurp
Dammit, only sorta. Mainly about social media and vlogging. And yeah, pretty slow. Pseudo Harem had more, better characters, from just two people! Still, an exploding hybrid motor hurt on a personal level.

>>283273740
Is it a harem?
Who's winning?

>>283272444

>>283275700
>Is it a harem?
Not yet but it's clearly building up to be one
>Who's winning?
The girl in the middle is the same age as MC and the one that opposes him the most so she feels like the main heroine but she also pretty much goes dere by the end of vol1 which kinda lower her chances, the one with the white ribbon feels like the dark horse here

>>283271136
Lewd brat

A bunch of middle schoolers got mogged

>>283264777
>Osanananananananas is pretty cute
It reads like a better planned version of Kuro-san, that one dropped it's premise after a while and became focused in the group of friends, but with this one that looks like it's going to be the focus from the start

>>283263638 (OP)
Is Hertz going to live or is it just axwbait?

>>283263638 (OP)
It's almost great but guess it was axed

Lewdest romcom right now?

kanokari makes no sense. If Chizuru has feelings why didn’t she act on them in the first place? Is she retarded? Then again none of the heroines except Sumi make any sense anyway especially Mini whose mission is to make Ruka as miserable as possible for little to no reason.

Do childhood friends really?

Have a bump while I check some of these mangos out.

>>283280176
Do the sleepy sleep dance? Probably

I like the flashbacks

>>283280176
I love the imouto. She's the cutest in a manga where everyone is cute.

>>283280176
Yeah, so do neighbors

>>283276014
Bishounen and ikemen are all too common in female orientated manga, unfortunately. Women just like men who look like women, it's annoying but I must accept it.

The two best, not counting the horny/lewd stuff which I put in a different category, school romances I'm reading right now are Houkago Kitaku Biyori and Class de 2-banme. Not surprisingly they're not shounen magazine but seinen magazine.

>>283279958
Probably not the outright lewdest but the Tonari no Seki no Yatsu ga Eroi is often quite good and quite lewd. I'm not entirely sure whether the mangaka is a woman or a bislug/homo because the guy is draw very gay. Kokoro would have looked better without the baloontits though.

>>283280176
A charismatic enough child can turn anyone into their parents. This is an evolutionary adaptation.

>>283282994
And nerdy women are especially prone to liking twinks it seems

>>283272460
I like this one, especially how it steadily reveals the characters secrets and backstories and uses them to advance the relationships instead of just keeping everything hidden until the last minute

>>283273740
>>283276465
Looks like most of vol1 is available for free for now, might as well give it a try

>>283264569
I don't know what the fuck the author is thinking by pushing this revenge stuff so far.
>>283266278
I hope they don't cheap out on the anime and treat it as a series of sketches (which the Manga kinda does but the overall plot is still going forward).

I hope the translation team that restarted this one eventually start releasing it more regularly.

>no one still posted the actual best ongoing romance
Sad.

Just started reading Chigau Class no Suki na Hito a couple of days ago. Too early to tell what will happen, but main girl is pretty cute.

>>283263638 (OP)
>>283270324
Since when the romcom has been accepting female-pandering shit?

>>283263638 (OP)
very decent

>>283263638 (OP)
Eel potato a cute.

Is the Romcom/slice of life/LEWD legibile enough?
Anything that should be removed in favour of something else?

>>283278016
6 chapters in? That seems too fast for an axe.

>>283268855
I haven't finished henjo yet so I didn't atart eroko. I really like We draw, I'm gonna be miserable when Koi-chan loses but the gyaru must win.
I just started ouji because of a thread were the imouto was posted, why do they make great characters destined to suffer?

>>283270324
Kek, back in Horimiya, Hori liked when Miya was rough on her. Asked him to hit her a few times.

>>283284640
Manga has some absolutely assbackwards clothes nowadays.

New chapter when! It's been years!

>pause studying and go jerk off
Do class rep really?

>>283263638 (OP)
no romcom will ever surpass school rumble

>>283285704
>go to school to do schoolwork but then bring school work home too and call it homework
Never made sense to me, Azns are weird. 75% of shit you learn in school you never use again, and many kids that get a degree end up working in something unrelated and don't use half of what they learned there either. Only once you know exactly what your interest is or you're doing on-the-job training courses is it work investing more than the minimum time into this shit.

>>283284100
The childhood friend according to the author is guilty of…I dunno…nono words? So he decided to give her her just desserts to make her pay for…saying wrong things by making her get humiliated at every turn including getting gang raped by her lackey for a week?
Don’t really know why his self-insert mc couldn’t have just wore ear plugs or better yet left her at any point before those 10 years but ok. Since he broke up with her it’s not really his problem anymore even though he indirectly caused it by being a shit to her too.
Well I like the author’s other manga at least the revenge is 100% justified there.

>>283285764
It's already been surpassed many times. It was a good comedy but an awful romance.

I need more loser heroines.

>>283285935
Is the guy going to win MCbowl?

>>283285059
You can read Eroko without reading Henjo. Being the similar characters appearing there is no continuity you need to know.
>why do they make great characters destined to suffer?
At least with Ouji it is totally on-brand to think that sisters will impose themselves on their brother even after they marry. They're freaky like that.

>>283277588

I've mostly given up on romcom manga, LNs are much better at it

>>283287521
Tell us what you're reading anon, let other's enjoy the novelty of lightness.

>>283286035
That was totally an accident and definitely not some tactical girl move thing.

>>283282994
It’s mainly due to asian beauty standards. Women tend to be quite fluid in what they find attractive so the culture they're in or the media targeted toward them greatly influences their preferences.

>>283263638 (OP)
I like Osoraku Kanojo and Tonari no Neko the most for now.

>>283269351
Anon this happens in almost half the time in any romcom, why are you mad now? it's because the petite tanned autist was best girl?
>>283283760
Also reading this as well, a good find. I still can't believe this is the same guy from Gamers!
I mean, this is actually good

>>283287801
Try this one

>>283288270
The problem is her not bringing anything interesting to the story, even Manbagi was a better addition to that cast that her

>>283287801
Asobi no kankei is supposed to be the next big thing

>>283264031
It's bad, don't bother

>>283284680
Qrd?

Are there any romcoms that are complete and finish with a happy ending? After a hiatus from anime/manga for the last 15 years/starting a family I found Boko Yabai and realised romcoms/slice of life is my thing but would like something that doesn't drag on.

>>283292363
>Are there any romcoms that are complete and finish with a happy ending?
Ookami shounen

>>283292363
Our Precious Conversations was a fun read, also everything that Makoto Ojiro worked on by herself

>>283292843
>>283292965
thanks anons

>>283292363
Yandere Kanojo.
Boku no Pico.

Fujiyama-san wa Shishunki
Jackie Chan.
Yankee-kun to Hakujou Girl.
Do Chokkyuu Kareshi x Kanojo.
Cory in the house (you don't see people recommend this one anymore).

>>283272460
There is also WYJ harems like 100 girlfriends which should run for years and years. Anime just got season 3 announced as well.

Actual answer
Umi no Misaki,14 sai no koi,Sweat and Soap,Otonari ni Ginga,Hadi girl,Fujiyama-san wa Shishunki,Tedama ni Toritai Kurokiya-san,Hajimete Datteba!

>>283276979
Very lewd

>>283264569
It lacks the com part almost entirely.

>>283293877
Then why am I laughing?

>>283263638 (OP)
isn't this like the tenth time in a month you've posted this?
anyway I really like pic related "Namaiki Asahi-chan wo Wakarasetai" since childhood friend probably will win.

>>283264569
even the most obnoxious of power fantasy isekai aren't as cringe-worthy as this piece of shit.

>>283264569
If you ignore all the shit that happens to her, then sure, I guess.

>>283285855
I don't get why she gave into the blackmail like that getting raped at a public bathroom for a week willingly, like she's basically getting sex trafficked at this point. I just don't get this author at all.

>>283263638 (OP)
>Romcom council
more like NTR council

>>283294836
Is it still rape if she agreed to it?

>>283292363
I still think Senryu Girl was the best romcom of its generation in terms of balancing both the rom and the com

>>283293076
>Yandere Kanojo.
If this series has started up a few years, I think it definitely could've gotten an anime

>>283293502
among manga-adapted narou romcoms, I think Number Two Me and Number One Girl would have enough juice for an anime adaptation

>>283293972
Asahi a cute
Asahi a best
Asahi will win

>>283294836
She’s actually stupid enough to believe she deserved it. Her former boyfriend would make her believe she’s this horrible person/monster that is 100% responsible for all his traumas but in reality she’s just an idiot and a bitch who can’t keep her mouth shut to save her own life.

>>283295705
NTA I need to actually read the manga, but I liked the Senryu Girl anime Kino was incredibly cute

>>283271136
Does it have a transmission that isn't MTL garbage? Looks fun.

>>283295212
>>283296036
it's just such a weird turn for the manga, the latest translated chapters has basically made me drop it.

>>283295964
it doesn't feel like it'll be a long manga, probably 45-50 chapters at best, but the MC and the girls are actually decently written and not garbage like typical romcoms. The way he acts is similar to boys who grow up with older or younger sisters and know how to snap back at girls and aren't completely hapless losers.

>>283296450
that's how miyuki in kaguya is written too, he has plenty of female friends and acts normal, mainly because he's had to deal with his own little sister... though in that Namaiki Asahi-chan story, the little sister is actually asahi, the childhood friend neighbour imouto.

I know it's not in fashion to link gookslop, but this one manhwa, mia has returned, has actually been pretty fun.
stonescape . xyz/series/mia-has-returned/

>>283296693
I read the first 9 or so chapters and it was surprisingly enjoyable. I like the low-stakes mystery solving element that seems to be present. I haven't gone back to read more of it yet, but I plan to at some point. Would also recommend.

>>283293502
I like the flat version better

>>283263638 (OP)
Kimi ni Todoke

>>283296789
it's very tropey but what manhwa isn't, at least this one seems fun and it isn't a story that is often explored in romcoms, as in old lovers in their teens reuniting as adults in college or workplace. there are definitely SOME, but it is an uncommon one. the art is nice too.

>>283296805
There's also the loli version

>>283296450
>The way he acts is similar to boys who grow up with older or younger sisters and know how to snap back at girls and aren't completely hapless losers.
This is the best part of the manga, they really feel like they've known each other for a long time and are used to teasing/bantering with each other

>>283297423
plus the actual genuine brotherly care he shows towards her and her problems is very wholesome, even if this is heading towards romantic direction.

>>283297423
yeah it's not just a typical "I knew her as a child" osananajimi, it's like an ongoing long-term friendship between a boy and a girl who have known each other since infancy as next door neighbours. she even used to call him onii-chan before high school.

My top 3

>>283296261

>>283301642
Ikobros, why does Igarashi bully her so much?

>>283302222
I actually think Igarashi loves her. But I guess we'll see for sure how deep that love goes via her upcoming big moment in the current arc. She's the only heroine so far who hasn't gotten a spotlight at the end of a longer, school-related arc and he's been setting this one up a lot harder than the others. I'm personally expecting great things since she's the most popular character in the manga and the third most popular in the magazine according Kodansha's Valentine's Day poll (though to be fair literally every heroine in the magazine got fucking violently dog walked by Asahi Amagami, which is pretty understandable).

>>283284263
>romance
More of a bait and switch to love triangle drama. Very good, but not the lighthearted romcom of the first volume.

>>283302222
He realized making MC's VA climb mount Fuji while carrying a statue of her so they could see the sunrise together made the winner too obvious

>>283302489
The hints at Iko possibly bring Apollo have unironically gotten a lot stronger since she won the popularity poll. Especially her fixating on whether or not he's ever moved and wondering if his bed is the same one he's always slept in.

>>283301068

>>283302878
Imagine having taste this shit. Couldn't be me.

I'm very interested in how much progress there will be in Yaotome x2. I feel like with how time is progressing it would be a copout if it stayed with the status quo like Seitokai Yakuindomo.
>>283285221
It comes out every issue reliably. Learn Japanese and read it.
>>283296225
I liked the anime but I hate that so many shorts stick with 12 episodes even though each episode is half the length. Some characters from the manga didn't even get introduced in the anime because of how little content it had.

>>283284066
Just finished reading what's available, Fuuka is best girl by far but I also ended up liking Chinatsu more than I was expecting after her introduction

Any where the male MC is actually a badass and not so annoying you just want to drop the manga? Delinquent mango is fine but if there's any romance at all it's usually very back-seat. I remember watching Denpa Teki na Kanojo back in the day and part of the reason it was good is that the guy wasn't a loser, even if he was a little on the edgy side.

>>283295964
Why is it that when there's a girl named Asahi in the manga she's always the best girl?

>>283302448
Just can't beat the JCs

>>283265448
Does this serialized romance have constant progression or does it stall for eternity?
What do you think?

>>283304274
I think it's just the artist, not the author.

>>283304260

>>283303838
it's only the best if she's super dry

I'm surprised Minna no Kiss Club is not more popular here

>>283263638 (OP)
This one seems like it has a lot of potential. Also, we should make these threads a regular thing.

>>283305912
Peak self-aware light novel comedy here.

It's okay.

>>283305937
>Self-aware
These are usually a 50-50 of either beings a clever subversion of expection in a positive way or just a lampshading of the tropes it makes fun of in it's use in other manga before it uses them itself. In the first chapter, I'd say it more of the former, but I don't like how it does the MC is trying to stay hidden from attention thing.

>>283305979
Yeah it always has the opportunity to devolve into unadulterated shit. But the first chapter was really good shit so I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it.
