It's kind of funny how the /lit/fag was convinced that there needed to be "suspense" for the popularity poll results, to the point that the author would try to trick people by having the release chapter not be about the winning character. They're just popularity poll results. Fun, but not super serious business that needs to remain secret until revealed.

Though thinking of the old /lit/ nickname makes it occur to me that one of the things that hurt Fumino's character was that the "lit" part stopped being relevant, and she never really found anything else to replace it with. Rizu's math got replaced by ramen and Sawako. Fumino's closest thing to replacing that was giving bad advice about women, and having a shitty father.

Finished reading this recently. The multiple endings definitely felt like an idea that didn't pan out as well as it was probably envisioned, what with the author running out of ideas barely an arc and a half in, but all worth it for that unexpectedly great Senpai arc. Talk about a dark horse.

Nah, I'm pretty certain they were serious. There are plenty of people out there who get overly invested in a character and preferred romance pairing, and convince themselves that their character and pairing are the best and everything will be going for them. Only to be left shocked and rationalizing when the story does something different, or their character and pairing preferences turn out to not be widely shared.
So I'm certain there were people out there who liked Fumino best, convinced themselves she was going to be *the* winning girl, that she had the *best* relationship with Nariyuki, and any evidence to the contrary was the product of just a small but vocal group of haters.

No, his original plan was always Uruka as I recall. He just found it really easy to write Mafuyu. I'd wager that chapter was partly a function of him just setting out to write some "hiding in gym storage" shenanigans, and partly a function of him wanting to finish off the setup for Mafuyu after getting approval for the routes idea, and before kicking off his endgame.

To this day I remain fully convinced that Mafuyu's absolute domination in this poll was the impetus for BokuBen's multiple endings. 22i obviously wanted to write the Uruka route, but editorial were probably terrified that some craven Mafuyuchad would literally burn the WSJ offices to the ground if they didn't publish a story where she and Nariyuki ended up together. And since it would be asinine to only have an ending for two of the five heroines in a harem manga, they went ahead and gave 22i the greenlight to do what is undoubtedly one of the most insane fucking things to have ever occurred on the pages on a Shueisha publication. This manga is a god damn legend.

It looks to me like he came up with the idea for routes when he introduced Asumi. Immediately afterwards he played around with Mafuyu's role a bit and when the poll happened he went all in. In retrospect the separates arcs made it clear that we had in fact five heroines but I'm not sure everybody expected it at the time.

True.
>and her own previous storyline
Certifiable bullshit. Out of all of the heroines, Asumi's goal of becoming a doctor is the most firmly entrenched in her ending. The nature of her false relationship with Nariyuki was also pretty important. It was the most self-contained volume, even more so than Mafuyu's, but it was a phenomenal ending rooted in genuine character drama and a believable, adorable relationship between herself and Nariyuki. It did involve some light retconning, but so did literally every ending after the first (Fumino's being particularly extreme). There's a reason most people acknowledge that Uruka is the most "canon" route, even if it isn't well liked. Though personally I think only Rizu got a bad ending.

Yeah, this seems pretty believable as well. But I don't buy at all that he was planning multiple endings from the start. And even if he had been, there's no shot that he intended Mafuyu to be one of them before he saw her meteoric popularity. I'd ever go as far as to say that editorial probably wouldn't have allowed him to publish a story about a student marrying his teacher in WSJ had the character not achieved hitherto unseen levels of popularity for a heroine in the magazine.

It's the only route that doesn't involve a single retcon nor exclude any of the other main cast members in a notable way. 22i can say whatever the fuck he wants, but there's only one ending that's entirely cohesive with the rest of the narrative. And it's Uruka's. I'm a firm believer in "death of the author". I could not care less what a writer says about a story outside the confines of the narrative itself. The only thing that matters is what's on the page.

Honestly even if probably unintentional on the writer’s part, it looked more like Sensei was the one.

Like with Uruka, there are no retcons needed for Nariyuki to like Sensei and the Uruka chapters very deliberately give her no time with Nariyuki until the outcome is set. Nariyuki’s crisis in it also makes no sense if he straightforwardly loves Uruka since she confessed to him so how would replying be an issue, it’s literally the polite thing to do for a confession. The whole set up with Miharu is really weird as well.

The issue with Sensei is that it wasn’t explored further in the present because of the drama that would be required since from the other girls perspectives, it would be a crazy situation and the losers can’t just gracefully give up like all the other routes because of the hidden nature of the relationship.

We got a timeskip from the start of Sensei’s route that makes everything feel incomplete, because a significant chunk of plot is missing.

Nothing is really fully satisfying as a result for either Uruka or Sensei yet alone the other girls.

Nah, Rizu did pretty well for herself. Yeah half her route got taken up with Sawako's problems, but that's mostly because Nariyuki would have confessed within a couple chapters without some distraction stalling him.

Otherwise her route sees her flirting with Nariyuki unopposed from like Christmas to midsummer, by which point he's confessing to her, has a heavy makeout session with her, and is talking about marriage. That ain't bad.

The biggest loser is Fumino. Her route sees her needing to get injured before Nariyuki will pay attention to her, Uruka doesn't concede and still takes her shot at Nariyuki, she has to basically apologize to Rizu and Uruka before she gets to confess and get a positive response, then nothing happens for four months, after which point her would be future sister-in-law is still hostile to her, and she goes on a date with Nariyuki where Rizu and Uruka threaten to steal him from her if she doesn't make him happy, and Asumi and Mafuyu borrow him to pretend he's their boyfriend. Only after all that does she finally get her first kiss from Nariyuki. Leaving her route the only one where Nariyuki isn't married, engaged, or at least discussing marriage and/or kids with the winner.

That's pretty rough for a 'victory'.

Asumi’s route being mostly self contained works fine for her since in the main story she didn’t have much focus.

Sensei’s relationship was developed much more strongly in the main route and especially the slow burn romance. Timeskip from the start with zero onscreen conclusion for the timeframe that the relationship developed in doesn’t work for this type of romance, large chunks of interesting development are missing.

That's not really a retcon seeing as we just don't know what happened. And in generally technical nothing need change before Uruka's arc for Mafuyu's arc to happen. Nariyuki would just need to reject any of the girls after chapter 141. The retcons as I recall:

Rizu's route - They discuss the jinx at christmas and start their 'game'. Uruka overhears this and gives up on confessing to Nariyuki.
Asumi's route - She kissed him on the lips instead of on the cheek at the end of her arc. He starts paying the most attention to her after this.
Fumino's route - Fumino randomly accompanied Nariyuki that one morning, and kept him from falling down the stairs at the cost of falling down the stairs herself. He spent the next few weeks helping to take care of her. The ski trip also went differently from how it went in Uruka's route.

Mafuyu's route only required she by the one taking Nariyuki's hand during the fireworks, just like that's all that Uruka's route required.
