Thread 283624012

Rion won, Himarishit lost, all good in the world.

>>283624012 (OP)
So the answer to the title is "Yes"

>>283624012 (OP)
BASED

lol
so what was the point of over half the volumes

>>283624012 (OP)
Both were evil and shit people, so nothing was lost in the end.
Rion at least had bigger tits.

>>283624012 (OP)
Is this from the final volume ?

>>283624012 (OP)
SHITSUMON

>>283624666
Yes, 12

>>283624012 (OP)
That image doesn't show her winning though?

>>283624710
This and himari is the cover girl they always win in LNs

>>283624666
>>283624686
Final or latest?

CRUSHING BLUE DEFEAT

>>283624784
As usual. Only black/brown/red/orange (caricaturized ginger)/blonde/pink (caricaturized strawberry blonde) hair with red/pink/yellow/green motifs will always be the winners.

If you are blue, white or violet haired with blue/violet/black/white motifs, you're doomed to lose.

>>283624744
Blue loser rule overrides cover girl rule

>>283624949
Not in this case. The point of the "long haired heroine" is to be an obstacle to overcome for himari and the mc. The only way Rion would have won would have been her saying those words (or better the mc) in the final volume. Right now she's just been set up to lose

>>283625104
Just ignore the schizo, he spends every day trying to trigger people in any romcom related thread regardless of whether he reads them or not

>>283625104
It was the final novel, there is no set up

>>283625133
happy to be wrong then, i might pick the LNs again now,

>>283624857
oh no, one of my favorite heroine in an other harem has long black hair, but purple eyes......she's definitely going to lose then....i disagree with the white haired part tho, i've seen many of them being the main heroine/winning.

Anna is really going to be the only winning heroine with blue hair

>>283625373
Nah, they win often enough

>>283625373
She's losing to Bassori

>>283625488
Isn't she also blue?

>>283625505
Basori's black haired (frequent winning hair color btw).

>>283625420
can you give more than one or two examples ?

>>283625488
I wish, but Anna is way too popular to lose (unlike Himari). The last episode of s1 was written by the author and was also hinting at her being endgame. At this point I feel bad for the other heroines since they already lost once

>>283625549
Dennpa onna
Full metal panic
Kannagi

>>283625572
Anna still has to stop being ambiguous, otherwise, she will get 8k'd again.

TOTAL BLUESHIT DEFEAT

>>283625736
Yeah but right now, her dynamic with her mc is the most liked one. Everyone enjoys their banter and their tsun personalities. I'm sure the author is never going to make her unlikable like himari was but the moment she'll get serious will be also when the other teams will lose (again).

lol
lmao

>>283626683
Saw a summary. The friendship did not survive too. After the graduation trip, Yuu and Himari chose to part ways and kind of cut ties with each other.

>>283624012 (OP)
Why is Rion doing a sexy pose?

>>283627213
They goin to a love hotel, are u blind?

>>283624756
Both

how did 2chan take the news?

>>283625572
>>283626239
You have to remember that the author also outright said that he made Makeine because he was upset that Ichigo from Darling in the Franxx lost. Anna has always been the end game and it isn't subtle.

>>283627241
What is the 2chan? Is it similiar to 4chan, the site we are browsing right now?

>>283627242
He also said that just making one of the loser heroines win would make it just like those other harems

>>283625572
Anna is also a really good friend compared to Himari
Lemon in later volumes has a bit of Himari in her

>>283627229
Eh...?
Does Rion really seem like the horny or sexual type that wants to have sex a lot?

>>283625422
Anna will avenge Himari

Even though both girls were hot I just couldn’t get into this series because the MC’s “muh accessories” seriously they couldn’t have pick a lamer deal for him.

>>283627283
>Smellfag
>Says she wouldn't mind doing it anywhere so long as it's with Yuu

Himariputabros...

>Designated loser gets to date MC first just to get dumped like garbage
Every single time

>>283624012 (OP)
himarishit was too dishonest and prideful, she deserved to lose. at least rion was faithful and upfront with her feelings. bonus points for never giving up. being a yandere and psychopath are normally demerits but only further cement her deep love for MC. she honestly deserved the win by a wide margin.

>>283625373
Akane : Do I look like a joke to all of you?

>>283627609
>posts black haired girl

>>283627609
Lum is better

>>283627635
Its Blue in both anime series.
Manga usually has black and white colors.

I don't watch this shit but I think blue is hotter

>>283627802
blue has boyish short hair throughout the series though, she only gets long hair at the end after the timeskip epilogue

>>283627242
Yeah which is why I stopped reading, I felt too bad for the other girls since it's so obvious and also got bored by Anna antics. The fact that they are so many people still rooting for an other girl (basori, lemon, etc) is surprising..like why would put yourself through that..

>>283625661
>Full metal panic
>She was the only girl, there's got to be some kind of harem or a love triangle setting to be a win

>>283628083
It's 2025 mate, how come you still haven't watched FMP?

Kana's a bigger loser tho. Check this.

Feels like menhera winners like her and Nagi are becoming more common lately

>>283627748
In color art, Rumiko painted Akane with black hair (or brown sometimes).

>>283628195
She is black haired too.

>>283627242
so he makes a series with a used goods whore main heroine? what sort of sense does that make

>>283628223
>Nagi
Bruh, the whole fucking town was more nuts than Nagi. At least she didn't go to the school of her competition to rat her out for having inappropriate behavior with a fellow student in a manga cafe or ratted her story to a showbiz gossip online mag or btfo'd to death her romantic rival or stole her phone and reawoke her survivor ptsd.
And even if Reiji was becoming even more psycho than the whole town by the end, he directed that hateboner to the menhera teacher and the fucking tio de nagi.

>>283628223

Did this retard really just posted his own profile?

>>283628102
I just started reading LNs and before that, I didn't want to start an anime without an ending.

>>283627242
That's right some people will write their own stories and publish them to make their favorite win...i'm currently reading a LN where the sarcastic loner dies while saving the cutest girl in school from a car accident...He came back to life and she wants to help him make friends...it's basically Yui and Hachiman 2.0 but there's no Yukinon

>>283628687
in that case Yui is worst girl again and the other girls are better

>>283628580
Read the thread, duh.
Kanarats "strongest" argument (Gorou infodumping the traits Aqua would get attracted to) got debunked.

>>283628758
I'll take that as a yes, you posted your own profile, lmao

>>283628829
So who's coping here, Rionfags saying she won or Himarifags saying it's an open end?

>>283628751
Yeah, the heroine in this LN seems inspired by the anime version of Yui, not the LN. Her only fault ig is that she never noticed the mc until he saved her life despite being in the same class for 2 years.

>>283628984
Isn't that she the opposite of Yui, after 8man saved her dog Yui just ignored him for a tear while he suffered alone and only started to get better when sensei introduced him to Yukino, in this one FeMC basically made her entire life about helping MC after he saved her

>>283629045
Him idk they have the same bubbly popularpersonality and the mc died while saving her, hachiman was injured but saved her dog, the stakes aren't the same. Despite being in the same class, she never spoke to him in two years and only noticed him after he jumped in front of a truck to save her. They have the whole guilt trip going on - both feel that they are nice to them because of what they did for her. And in the anime, Yui was nice to hachilan and tried to help him, she was better than in the ln.

>>283628933
The author
>Wanted to do a college arc

Apparently the LN received a boost from the anime but I doubt there is interest for season 2 right now.

>>283629318

>>283628687
whats the title?

>>283627573
>being a yandere and psychopath are normally demerits
You need to be 18 or older to post here

>>283629305
She reminds me more of Aoi than anyone else

>>283624012 (OP)
I only watched the anime and this cow was such a non-character.
But I'm reading on the LN she is a Yandere?
How much different the anime version is from the light novel?

>>283628687
>but there's no Yukinon
Absolutely based.

>>283629438
Not different at all. She's not a yandere early on. She develops into one as her feelings become more intense.

how many times has a first girl/cover girl lost?

Do you beleeb anon?

>>283624012 (OP)
FUCKING BASADO

>>283630172
Lmao
this is the final volume but the story is not over ??
is the author planning a spin off where himari and Yuu reunite later in life ? Maybe Himari will get into a car accident and Rion will call off the endgame or something

>>283628984
>>283628687
I like Sora as much as the next guy but Ruri is 100% a Yui clone. Sora is Aoi if Aoi wasn't a psycho.

>>283630266
>Maybe Himari will get into a car accident and Rion will call off the endgame
kek

>>283630306
Aoi is not a psycho

This is the 2nd losing Himari this year, time for the third one

>>283630384
>"I can't marry you, Natsuo. I love you and I'm pregnant with your child, but you should really marry my comatose sister instead."

I think yuuna-san no yuragisou is almost as bad if we're just talking about romcoms

>>283628533
Japs love their humiliation rituals

>>283630583
The Konosuba method of "I decided not to commit to a love interest in the actual published material, so here's a few pages of Kazuma going on a date with Megumin. I hope this is satisfactory."

It was not satisfactory.

>>283630603
Kanna chads, we will win.

>>283630651
I've heard people really hated this one.

>>283624857
Long dark hair is too powerful.

>>283630724
Speaking as a Himachad: I wouldn't be particularly upset.

>>283630733
for good reason
I still seethe every time I remember it

>>283630686
Fr ? This book was on my list because apparently the mc and megumin actually got together but now it sounds like the author didn't commit.
Just like Hanagai, or date a live

>>283630747
very true

>>283630789
That's how I feel about Saekano. I can laugh at Domekano in retrospect even if it pissed me off at the time. Thinking about the last stretch of Saekano and the massive shit the author took all over the entire cast of characters just makes me viscerally angry.

>>283630713
Her show is so forgetful, I wish I watched the other gyaru show of that season instead.

>>283624012 (OP)
There's nothing to BWAHA about...

>>283630832
In the ln ? Because from what I remember the ending in the movie was pretty good.

>>283630807
He did not, in fact, commit. The ending was.. fine? It was inoffensive. And the author left the door open for an ostensible sequel. Megumin and Kazuma are "more than friends, less than lovers" and intend to progress their relationship. But you don't really see anything come if it. There's also a massive (read: tiny), imouto princess-shaped Sword of Damacles hanging over their relationship at the end that goes totally unaddressed.

>>283630908
The anime. It was fucking horrendous. Even if best girl won, it was at the expense of the likability of every single member of the cast, herself included.

>>283630807
Iirc they do get together some time before the end but don't get to have sex for reasons, then in the epilogue is hinted they may add the blonde loli to their relationship

anyone have a webm of this?
I just wanna hit Himari again for old time's sake.

>>283630098
We don't even know if Himari really lost bc the story is apparently not over.

I guess, Hanagai? Cover girl didn't win. And maybe Tomozaki and chitose

>>283630747
>>283630809
Long, straight black hair girls lose too!

>>283630098

>>283630979
>Hanagai
Manga end implies Sena won

>>283630941
Him wtf.
Do LNs espacially romantic ones ever have good endings? Twenty volumes for an open ending ??

I always respected Rion because she never hated Himari or got seriously pissy about her. Rion just did her own thing.

>>283630979
Hanazono Twins has both sisters on the cover, but the first girl/MC's crush loses to her way cooler sister. Unfortunately the ending was still written like shit. The ultimate example if FGWG where the better girl actually takes the W is "Ookami Shounen wa Kyou mo Uso wo Kasaneru". That manga is unbelievably fucking based.

>>283631043
You think konosuba was a romance?

>>283630098
Whatever it is, it's not enough.

>>283624012 (OP)
holy fucking based

>>283631005
>Konosuba
Aqua was literally never treated as a love interest. This one doesn't count. Chibi Megumin and Darkness are both also on the first cover.

Doesn't sound like it's a win in the ln

>Hanazono Twins has both sisters on the cover, but the first girl/MC's crush loses to her way cooler sister.
By this standard you could say Onodera was the cover girl

>>283631060
No, i forgot to add ", and other genres"

>>283631005
Megumi won though?

>>283631123
It's well known the author sabotaged the LN to get out if his contract

>>283631112
No one gives a shit what schizos think. The narrative made it abundantly clear at every opportunity that Kazuma would sooner masturbate with sand paper that let his dick within proximity of Aqua.

>>283630098
You called?

>>283631166
She's on the cover of the manga, not the LN

>>283630098
Arguably in ImoSae, imouto is in the title and was first girl
Ryuuo no oshigoto also has first girl/FeMC losing

>>283630665
to be honest, cote ruined romcoms and anything romance related for me...
I know it sounds ridiculous but I just can't enjoy romance anymore. Anything related to romance reminds me of that shit and how Kei lost and I compare everything to cote. I can't stop thinking about it, even when I stop reading that shit and I know nothing of what's happening in the story
I fucking hate cote and kinugasa for mindbreaking me this hard and I hate myself for being so fucking stupid too...
I wish I could just forget I ever read that shit...

>>283631200
do vn adaptations even count? they just pick a random girl unless they go the amagami route

>>283631174
>The narrative made it abundantly clear at every opportunity that Kazuma would sooner masturbate with sand paper that let his dick within proximity of Aqua.
You could say the same about 8man and Yui

>>283631224
I would say if a VN has a true route, then it counts
whoever wins in the true route is the true heroine

>>283630665
top left manga went to total shit when they broke up

>>283631220
Take solace in the fact that pinkslut will get btfo even harder than Kei

>>283630936
Wasn't this because they cramped like 6 lns into a movie?

>>283631200
Doesn't she win in her own route ?

>>283631274
it doesn't matter anymore
she won and Kei lost

>>283631277
Do you know where we can find the saekano lns ?

>>283631266
Unless the VN is Aokana, in which case they pretend there's no romance at all and make the main love interest into the main character who's sidelining the MC and focusing on the flying roller blades.

>>283631224
>>283631281
While I agree at your posts, they didn't had to do this at the competition.

>>283631200
One of the GOATs.
Probably one of the worst loses too.

>>283631350
Raws are on Nyaa, if you are talking about an english translation i don't think anyone ever translated them

>>283631350
you could probably find them if you search "tmw" on nyaa

>>283631359
There's no true route in Aokana though.

>>283630098
Hopefully this.

>>283631366
>>283631386

>>283631266
sure, but that usually isn't the case for adaptations as far as i can recall, a lot of them are just moege where all heroines are more or less equal, like mashiroiro symphony
like in shuffle, they randomly picked green to win for the anime, a character probably not even within the top 5 "mainest" heroines

>>283631435
hinibros...

>>283630098
Akame ga kill

>>283631436
You now remember the cat episode

>>283631449
>like in shuffle, they randomly picked green to win for the anime, a character probably not even within the top 5 "mainest" heroines
Asa-senpai was the best heroine from that imo so I'm glad she won in the anime too
the second best option would be Sia (the brown haired elf) but only because I really love the personality of her dead twin, Kikyou

>>283631449
The anime was based, they turned Kaede from being the most boring heroine in the history of VNs* to someone with a little spice to her.

*Yes, I read it. No, I do not remember it well.

>>283630992
She lost ? Who won then ?

>>283631304
>she won
Not even pinkslut believes that, only Horikita and Hiyori have any chance at being the true winner

>>283631449
>they randomly picked green to win for the anime, a character probably not even within the top 5 "mainest" heroines
Any facts to back that up?
Because every time Shuffle is discussed, I always see her.

>>283631584
well yeah, because she randomly won in the anime adaptation, like i said
she is a fairly secondary and unremarkable heroine in the vn, which is what i am saying

>>283631582
imo, she won because she got rewarded for her shitty behaviour while Kei got shitted on and got humilliated by both the author and psycho MC only because she wanted a normal and happy school life with her boyfriend
I stopped reading after the end of 2nd year so I don't know and I don't care what happens in the future
I hope Kei becomes a lesbo or something. Much better ending for her

>>283631359
>Aokana
Don't get me started with that. idk the FUCK were sprite smoking. If they can't commit to Asuka or Misaki, might as well choose best girl for fuck's sake.

>>283631688

Bruh she will come back, trust the plan

>>283631729

>>283631063

>>283631688

>>283631729
She's set to get a happy ending, unlike pinkshit who's set for self-destruction

>>283631449
>>283631528
The "winner" concept is a cruch to hide bad written

>>283628533
>>283631729

>>283631900
Too late for that, MC already admitted to himself he loves Hiyori

>>283631819
I feel like extra 1 and 2 are vastly different products. 1 is more slice-of-life and 2 is shounen sports.
I really can't weigh both extras.

>>283631966
>believing in Kiyo's monologue
KEK

>>283631435
Kill yourself Hinafag, Hina isn't winning, she's going to get humiliated again.

>>283631928
like I said, let anyone win except Kei
I hope she leaves japan or something and never meets with the psycho again in her life
and I hope the psycho gets fucking castrated and drops dead in a ditch

>>283631966

>>283631960
Can beat the hairjob

>>283632033
All wrong

>>283631991
I know your pain keianon, (I'm also a keifag), but the author did that to make her comeback to the spotlight again and grow as a person. That development was good for her. But I can see that she still really loves him a lot, I doubt that th author will just put her aside now, also, horikita really needs her because she is the only person that understands Kiyotaka.

>>283631960
>>283632033
FC is a dying sports. They're also an upstart with no sponsor backing.
Being an udon chef is a more solid career path. And she already have a family owned restaurant.
What do you think the MC had a better future here?

>>283632053
>to make her comeback to the spotlight again
give me a break, anon... I'm so tired of hearing this shit
keifags like me have been waiting for a comeback since y2v4.5 and she never got it and the author only humilliated more and more in every new volume
if she becomes a better person, good for her but she doesn't need the psycho MC and I don't want her to end with that faggot anymore. He goes around flirting and having sex with all the other girls while Kei suffers and then she has to take him back like nothing happened?
fuck off with that shit

>>283632099
I should play this again, does the TL patch works for the 4K version?

>>283632192
I use steam and emulate games on my android phone.

>>283632099
>Being an udon chef is a more solid career path. And she already have a family owned restaurant.
Udon chef on a small island. Yeah, such a brilliant career.

>>283632308
There's nothing more honourable in japan than to continue the family business

>>283631688
>That scene where MC is adjusting her shoes and she keeps poking his leg with her feet

>>283630172
I guess a boy-girl friendship...cant survive

>>283632386
Funnily enough, its also the same reason I feel in love with her.
I'm forever mad she still wasn't able to fix Masaya's trauma after pouring her heart and soul at that confession meanwhile Asuka, with her mary sue sorry of an ass, did it with her shitty pep talk. Mashiro deserves that scene faaar more than her.

>>283632485
....for now.

Generational OP

I remember reading the first two volumes of this and there was no sign of a 2nd heroine...
wtf happened? blue girl was really cute and flirty with MC and seemed wholesome

but enough about Hina you samefagging bitch.

>>283633419
>without developing the characters.
Not even worth taking seriously. You're an actual retard if you read the manga and think the characters were underdeveloped.

>>283634053
That's literally what the story is about, MC gets an onahole delivered to his home so he can program her as he sees fit

>>283631688
Ran her her route first. The choice was obvious from the start.

>>283631430
Asuka is very obviously the true route. She's the route you get when you click straight through every dialog option. 100% main girl.

>>283634187
>click straight through every dialog option
That's how you reach the bad end

>>283634187
>She's the route you get when you click straight through every dialog option.
Uh, what?

>>283634215
>>283634225
Maybe I'm misremembering then. It's been a long time. Regardless she's definitely the first choice when the route splits occur.

On that note, did anyone actually give a fuck about neighbor girl? What a shit character.

>>283631430
It's obviously Asuka numbnut. You might wanna reread the game.
They even pulled the "release the limiter" troupe at the very end because of how much they wanna jerk off her dick so much.

>>283633873
I was here for every thread they never fix her problems with men, the series got axed

>>283634059
>you read the manga and think the characters were underdeveloped.
Because they were pure set up for development that never happen because it got axed, her new Manga is still ongoing because that one actually sells

>>283634262
>Regardless she's definitely the first choice when the route splits occur.
That's a sign of the least important character though. Now, I'm not saying she was one, but that's not how you tell who the main girl is. True route is usually the most difficult one to reach.

>>283634450

>blueshit actually lost
>best girl won
Based. Was holding off on picking up the LNs because blueshit was first girl and author might force an ending for her at the last second.
>>283627242
>Ichigo from Darling in the Franxx lost
She got a chad husband who mogs the MC and a pretty good ending while dino-whore and her beta died in space. Her and Kokoro were the real winners.

>>283630807
Don't read Konosuba if you're expecting a satisfying and committed ending to any of the girls when it comes to romance.
Or a satisfying ending at all, because the LN really, REALLY fucking sucks, and the ending is disappointing overall.

>>283634603

>succeeds
He was the real hero all along

>>283630098
Pic related. I don't think I ever saw a first girl self-implode this much. It was a good thing, though, since it gave best girl the chance to have one of the most satisfying unexpected win ever.

lmao i just started reading them but i won't bother if there's no ending, bc the more i look at people reviews of certain series, the more i found reviews of people just being angry at the ending. Recently there has been some garbage ending in mangas as well, but at least the chapter are super quick to read. 15 to 20 volumes for that...

>>283634899
Hey I forgot about this. I remember watching the anime.
Is it worth reading?

>>283635143
>the more i found reviews of people just being angry at the ending
this is more common than you think

>>283634479
That's a valid point. Though to be fair there's no such thing as a difficult route in Aokana. It's just "yes I'll help you" or "no I won't". And that's just.. all that you really have to do.

Does Rion actually love Yuu? She seemed like a cold person.

>>283624784

>Sprite has outright admitted they consider her Extra a proper sequel to the main game and resolved a bunch of other character arcs in it

She won so hard she unseated Asuka as the main heroine.
>>283631729
>author has basically retconned any mention of MC feeling anything for Kei

>>283635412
Yes

>>283635412
No, Dark blue haired girls deserve their win

>>283635470
I should have never mentioned Aokana because holy fuck you fags are angsty about it.

>>283635795
The good one do win

>>283635911
I unironically love Bokuben, but let's be real here: it's not the same when everyone wins. I'd be happy with more manga going the multiple endings direction, but it definitely doesn't hit the same as a conclusive, one-girl-takes-all finale.

>>283635956
I think the real problem is not that 'everyone wins', it's that those routes were all unsatisfying. You can't build up a proper romance in just ten chapters, especially when everything before was written so that every ending is possible.
Well, maybe ten chapters could still be sufficient, but 22i wasn't competent enough to make it happen.

>>283624012 (OP)
Is this for real? I dropped the anime four episodes in because blueshit seemed to have it locked

>>283639669
there's two rumors going around
>black haired girl won
>open ending because the author wants to make a college arc

>>283639777
so which one's right?

>>283640677
I don't know, I don't even read this LN
I just came here to complain about romcoms

>>283639777
>>283640728
It was actually true.
Rion won simply because Yuu chose to staybwith her. Yuu and Himari decided to stay as friends, but after the hraduation trip, they cut ties and went different paths.
This shit reeks of axed end. Even the author's statement about a college arc is author coping.

>>283630577
>>"I can't marry you, Natsuo. I love you and I'm pregnant with your child, but you should really marry my comatose sister instead."
Roru, rumao even.
Natsuo found out the true nature of Hima's feelings from Marie's mouth and Rui took the decision bc he saw Natsuo crying over the revelation that Hina never stopped loving him, as he was always under the idea Hina chose to bury her feelings within her (keep in mind sn important shit: the reason Natsuo rebounded into Rui was because of what happened in Izu Island.

>editor forcing the author to scrap his original end and make the bland long black hair girl win instead in the last volume
Just like in Oregairu where everything up to volume 13 was pointing towards a Yui end but editor forced him to write a Yuckyno end right at the end. Himari had the potential to avenge Yui but the author pussied out.

>>283641028
Nips just can’t write a proper ending and choose the better heroine, can’t they? Could be just bias but I swear there are more decent endings in romance manga than LNs nowadays

>>283641202
>editor forcing the author to scrap his original end and make the bland long black hair girl
Could've been worse
Sometimes they force authors to write an extra side story after the LN s already finished, just to make the heroine lose.

I need a romance manga with a chapter for each losing heroine at the end showing how miserable life ended up for them after they lost their only chance at love

>>283641612
they should all get fuck by chad in college while MC watches

>>283641202
It's the same that happened in OnK, Aka was obviously aiming for the incest ending but the editor stopped him

>>283635412
>Read this LN.
>Entire second volume is getting you to care about this girl and then shitting on her as hard as possible to make the main girl look better.
I dropped it afterwards, I don't know why nip authors do this.

>>283641629
at this point, I don't know anymore
Aka is just an expert an shit endings and I believe the ending we got is the ending he always had in mind

>>283641612
Just look at the mirror if you want to see a salty loser

>>283641641
they seethe like a manchild when people don't like their trash main heroine so they go out of their way to shit on the side girls

>>283641612
yuuna of yuragisou did exactly that

>>283641539
Literally who?

>>283641612
I mean Scum's Wish had those, but the other way, everybody more or less moved on with their lives except Mugi the manslut.

>>283641691
That's the part I really don't get:
My brother in Christ you MADE the side character!
If it bothers you this much put that effort INTO THE MAIN HEROINE!

how do you even drag this kind of shit story out for 12 volumes, and there's still more volumes to come? like I want in on the scheme.

>>283641740
Sayu, my beloved

>>283641539
>>283641955
so in the actual canon of the light novel, she doesn't get abandoned for the hag?

>>283641975
Yes, it only happens in the after story
The publisher was afraid that salarymen en masse would start fucking high school runaway girls so they forced the author to write a follow-up story where Sayu lost

I've been burned before. Did the last chapter fully release with Rion definitely winning or is this another bait and switch?

>>283642047
I knew that shit was weird, it didn't fit the story AT ALL.

>>283641539
Higehiro situation was bc Kodansha feared readers (shounen demographics) would turn into captain save-a-ho trying to save the unsalvageable and give a bad example (between the LN end and the canon spinoff release there was a sudden boom of JKs who offered their bodies in exchange of having a place to stay.
Gotou's canon spinoff reeks of editorial meddling.

>>283642061
I mean, the Yuu x Rion thing happened before the latest volume. Himari was already ex girlfriend a while ago. The latest* not last volume has Yuu and Rion still remaining as boyfriend x girlfriend. It's not over.

>>283642081
>Kodansha
Fuck, it was Kadokawa, theyw ere the fuckers whose moralfaggotry fucked over Higehiro.

But that's what humping Rion involves... I'd never pass up a chance to get my dick between girl cheeks

>>283642092
But he fucked both girls, that’s good, right? Also, since Himari was first, basically Rion ended up with a used good.

>>283643134
lol in the novels, Yuu is still a virgin unironically.

>>283643218
You’re saying they were dating for months and it never occurred to him to get his cock in?

>>283643417
In the novels, Yuu is weirdly uninterested in both Rion and Himari, he's more of a "let the status quo be" kind of guy. The worst kind of protagonist for these types of pure romance.

never believe any "spoiler" anyone posts about a light novel without proof

>>283643517
it hasn't even been 24 hours since it came out, I doubt people have finished digesting it, but it also wouldn't surprise me, ending on Rion still being Yuu's girlfriend is just a status quo ending, and the author has previously mentioned he wants to portray their college lives, so this is weird and smells of editor intervention because they hated the blue haired girl.

>>283643689

The concept of "winner" and "loser" is killing good romance written. A good romance doesn't need this weird and unnatural concepts, the romance just progress naturally, nothing of this weird surprise "winner"

>>283643745
>>283644291
Believing lies. LOL

>>283643505
It fits. He was more or less pressured into dating Rion. It's not like he woke up and wanted to date her.

>>283641352
Romance manga tend to have dog shit endings too. Japan is just bad with endings.

>>283644659
it does fit but it just doesn't make for very good romance protagonist, but somehow very common.

>>283644830
Because if we had some who made decisive romance decisions we couldn't stretch this out for 12 volumes.

Here comes the rewrite on the manga kek
Also, is the author a woman?

himari won in the anime too anyway

So based on fan translations
The author also mentioned "high school arc" on volume 11.
>Its finally starting to feel like the climax of the high school arc, isn't?
So a sequel with a different name?
On the other hand, based on fan translations of the side story -v1-, there was a time were the editors thought on switching MC from Yuu to his playboy best friend against the author will kek.
So editorial butting in may not be a schizo cope afterall.

>>283645451

>You can't build up a proper romance in just ten chapters
Telework Yotanabashi is a single volume of manga and one of the most masterfully-written adult romance stories to ever grace the medium. You can absolutely tell a compelling romance in a single volume's worth of chapters (it was 9 each in Bokuben with an extra chapter after Mafuyu's route).

That aside, I only found Rizu's route unsatisfying. And that's because it was barely focused on her. Uruka's was fine and Fumino's, Asumi's, and Mafuyu's routes were all absolute fucking kino.

>>283647216

I didn't find it that good but it doesn't matter. There's a world of difference between a story with long-established characters who weren't in relationship and it didn't even look like they were getting close to it and a short story where characters are introduced as lovers or potential lovers.

>>283647321
I'll concede that 22i could have done a much better job of establishing Nariyuki developing feelings toward the heroines throughout the course of the manga, and can totally respect why that would hamper your enjoyment of the endings. I personally thought they were strong enough (again, barring Rizu... who happened to be my fucking favorite) to ameliorate that weakness, but we can agree to disagree.

Civility aside, chug a gallon of bleach for not thinking Telework Yotanabashi is great.

>>283646779
Is she more like Himari or Rion?

>>283647513

>>283638800
>If Hoshigasaki doesnt win I will go nuclear.
Have you read volume 2 ? mc spent his time with Hoshigasaki, they bond, he thinks she's pretty which makes you think she actually got a chance, until you reach the last part of the novel. The mc literally said the reason he helped Hoshigasaki was to see Hanamitsuji's smile. Making him sounds like douche desu, and that showed that the first girl will definitely win

>>283641644
Yeah, OnK's ending actually 'works' if you read the first ten chapters then skip to the last ten. Just a shame about all the things in the middle.

>>283641028
>>Rion won simply because Yuu chose to staybwith her
How else was she supposed to win ? She was already dating the guy. Plus he cut ties with the toxic ex, and Rion talked about staying together forever.

>>283645567
They just entered 3rd year, MC dumped Kei and is now dating pinkshit for convenience while he thinks to himself that Hiyori is his first real love and about how he wants to test this new feeling

>>283625422
>let's stay together forever and ever
Sounds like it was just a status quo end

Isn't Himari a used goods? Why would you want her to win?

>>283648873
Nanamura is more romantically conscious of Hoshigasaki than Hanamitsuji. Also I don't think he's aware that Hoshigasaki might have a crush on him.

PS: Vol 3 and 4 can change things
PPS: I really fucking hate the names of this series.

>>283624012 (OP)
Himari won in the anime. Nobody cares what happens in the shitty LN which isn't even mildly popular.

>>283649018
>Isn't Himari a used goods?
No that's just schizo anon who didn't read anything

>>283644955
If Higehiro was aimed at seinen audiences, maybe the gotou spinoff would have never happened.
All this shit happens bc the LN was aimed at late middle and high school boys.

>>283641743
>but the other way, everybody more or less moved on with their lives except Mugi the manslut.
Still the bee returned at him.
Mengo did a conclusive extra volume to close all the stories and the last one was about the Bee and Mugi starting again.

>>283641629
>Aka was obviously aiming for the incest ending but the editor stopped him
False, he always aimed for his edgefest spiteful ending and only baited with the incest simply to laugh at Mengo for being a huge incest freak.

>>283630098
Botan and does Saeko from Highschool of the dead count since she's best girl?

>>283649040
What makes you think that's he's more aware of hoshi ? (I also hate the names in the serie). He didn't even spend time with her during the trip and the focus was on Hana. He seems conscious of her enough, even blushing after she thanked him for helping Hoshi. We'll see what happens in the next volumes, but Hana is collecting the winning flags (first girl, nanamura called her the prettiest girl of the school, she's perfect unlike Himari, etc). Hoshi, and the other girls just feel like stepping stones for the main romance which is a shame because she's more fun as a character
