>>291298480that's like the average price of a burger over here
>>291298433Hizumi*
>asks her friends to helpBut that defeats the whole purpose. She's admitting she can't sell any tickets herself. It's the same as relying on Hizumi.
Shinobu gets to ride the Buki AND save her friendsBreak next week again
>no lemonpass
Man I feel bad for Rikka bros their chapters are the worst
>>291298554The purpose was stupid as fuck to begin with and she's being an unreasonable cunt. They should have worked together to sell the tickets, leaving that up to a provisional member is asinine.
>>291298224>Came back home after long day at work>Rikka chapterFuck me
>>291298224>Can't shittalk back, because it's all trueYeah, know your place Rikka
Rikka is a poser
>>291298418>>291298433Read like a fucking book.
>>291298265...I want Hizumi to talk shit to my face
>rikka chapter>rikka arcWelp, see you in 4 weeks hopefully.
>>291298224>Shitkka
>>291298224>Shitkka againJesus
>>291298224extremely necessary angle

>>291298224I want to be the chair on the left
>>291298397So the snake suggest to step away from her rival, and leave Rikka alone to sulk. Smart.
Oh boy. It's a Rikka arc. And even her best friends know she's fake as fuck. Wonderful. Hope this doesn't last long.
>>291298265another extremely necessary anglegod i love hizumi
>>291298224SEXO!And Rikka is there too, I guess.
>>291299010nobu is a good girl and a good friend!stop the slander!
>>291298490...I would hang out with Rikka for a blowjob.
>>291298265the weak should fear the strong
>>291298294>>291298317WTF hizumi is literally... me!?
>>291299049Or what, she will lose even harder than she already is?
Man, you guys really don't like this girl.
>Hizumi is totally unlikable and has no positive qualities whatsoever>still improves every chapter she's in because they're all Rikka chapters and Hizumi mercilessly shits on herFunny how that works.
>>291298555>>291298599DARK SECRET HIZUMI ARC BEGINS
>>291299144she's not bad but the rest of the cast is miles ahead
>>291299144What gave it away? The fact that we constantly make fun of her or the fact that her chapters are lucky to hit 300 posts before they 404? She's fucking boring, anon.
>>291298408many are saying this
>rikka arcBIG FUCKING YIKES. I'll be seeing you tunabros(minus the rikkafag) in 2 weeks.
>>291298224>rikka chapter>izumi in the first fucking pageI sleep.
>>291299148Any hero needs a good foil.
>mid chapter>break next weekAh, I see, the csm publishing strategy
>>291298599buki should marry hizumi instead
>>291299317Rikka is apollo but Hizumi will win
>>291298354This has always been my main complain about Hizumi: she eclipses Rikka, and hogs screetime Rikka could use to advance her relationship with Bucky instead.
>>291299010It’s in her best interest Rikka fails, so Nobu herself can suceed.
>>291298480>tfw the yen is worth 33% less now that when rounding 1usd = 100jpy was the standard in manga TLsgrim
>>291298224Nice, I love Rikka
>>291299563Someone has to, I guess.
>>291298480>Rikka is worth 20$
>>291298554fuck that cunt Izumi, I would go full cartel on her for being an insufferable nigger bitch
>>291299595Nineteen dollars and three cents. And she's not even sure if she's worth that much. Absolutely hysterical.
I AM MADLY IN LOVE WITH IKO....!!!!!!!!
>>291298317>Am I even worth 3000 yen?
I'm not feeling too well today, so I'm very thankful for these cute Nenes.
C'mon guys, don't be so hard on Rikka. She has a tough enough time being a fake ass hack whose chapters get no discussion and whose biggest fan is a curry-stinking retard.
>>291300055Lmao
i have anti rikka fatigue
>>291300218Don't worry, you won't have to read mean comments about your waifu for much longer. Her threads always die.
>>291298354>>The Vtubers are interested in bucky to make iko jealousHasn't it been like 100 chapters since Iko's vtuber rival/chick she looked up to was in the manga
>>291298224>It's a Rikka chapter
>>291300295The real Apollo, save this post.
>>291300517I always think she's sitting in a cardboard box when I see this panel
>>291298317Alright, I'll pay 3000 yen for Rikka. But not a cent more.
Lemon is a dumb name.
>>291298375So that's where the taso comes from. Didn't thought about that.
>>291300593Cheapest rental kanojo in WSM. Tragic to see a high school girl have to resort to compensated dating, though.
>>291298418>>291298444God I love their bellybuttons. Whoever cancelled them in the anime deserves to step on a lego.
>>291298490Shinobu a cute and a good friend. I don't know why her covers are all solo.
>>291298599Is Hizumi's reason to be a singer even relevant? Maybe she's a school dropout without family and music is her only skill, which is not very relevant nor interesting.Or does she sing because she wants her music to be heard on the moon?
>>291298574Is this possibly the first ever arc in the series where Shinobu and Rikka got one on one interactions? It's about fucking time.
>>291299144I'm sorry but the way Igarashi creates her arcs is insanely boring. It's never interesting nor exciting. The only times she got some really interesting arcs were like in the first 50 chapters of the manga.
3000-yen girl
>>291300936She was the teaser of the group. But now she does nothing but blush when Bucky hangs out with her.She lost her raison d'etre
Rent a Rikka
>>291300936That's not even the worst part. Igarashi loves to make like 5-6 chapter arcs for her which are already a chore to read. Sucks that she has so much focus on the most mundane shit in the series.
>>291301011Igarashi has obviously realized that Nene fulfills that role much better. Her teasing Arisu is always more fun to read, and more impactful narratively than what Rikka does. But she really hasn't had any kind of spark to make her chapters fun to read since 30 chapters into the manga. And if she is Apollo, it's just going to be fucking underwhelming because of how in your face she is about the whole thing. She's honestly a failed heroine at this point.
Rikka is the main heroine of this manga
LONDON
>>291301076Shut the fuck up, Rikkajeet.
>>291301076that is shinobu
Wifeka
>>291301132
>>291301081And the biggest population of London is... OMG.
I want Shinobu to crush my head between her thighs, please and thank you.
>>291301194t.forecast news director
>>291298418>>291298444>easily read, everyone except Arisu know how to push her right buttons, gives up on the drop a dime and pleads
>>291301076Insufferable
>>291298574This is probably the closest the manga has ever been to a Rikka-Shinobu duo chapter. Whis IIRC never ever happened. It's most of the time the established pairs.
>>291301253I keep praying for more of that. Shake it up girls!
>>291298265No, that's not even the problem. They're fucking guitar picks. How is anyone vetting for that? Joe schmoe scalper can just print the logo and sell that, especially since hizumi is popular already. Does it matter how many people actually show up as long as money is collected? Hownmuch of this stunt is even on brand for their duo act?
>>291301149Twintailed tsunderes?
>>291301280The Shinobu/Iko pairing is being saved for near the end of the manga, because Shinobu knows Iko is Apollo and Igarashi doesn't want to have to write around it.
>>291300295She was shown when she brought up the idea of Iko joining her group. Happened around ch 109-111.
>>291298294You did tell her that though, when she didn't want to do what hizumi and management were telling her to do for marketing (ie the schoolgirl cosplay). Actually I'm pretty sure they had that conversation before
>>291301313A scalper would lose money on the picks themselves.I'd expect the picks to become relevant in the arc. Hizumi was talking abiut how she never loses her pick so that's probably going to happen and then Rikka will hand her one and that will be theblast one she needed to sell, fulfilling her quota. Or something like that.
I finally will SAY it loud.Mayotuna sucks not only due to non existent story progression or dull mc but these 4 girls aren't cute or pure.They are career women who seek to please men for money, all 4 jobs are just prostitution with some extra stepsThey all suck producers dicks to get jobs.
>>291301330I recall 2 things between them. During the summer break trip, they shared a room, but nothing was shown between them. Iko slept, Nobu went to cockblock Nene. Then during the school play they had a small stroll of the area and IIRC saw when mob girl confessed to Arisu, or rather asked Arisu about his stance on love or what was that. Nothing else rings a bell about the two.
>>291301405>unironic purityfaggotry Kill yourself.
>>291301330Will Shinobu be the fake Apollo in an arc before that? Like 5 was the fake 0.
>>291298353What would have been sweet is that one friend she made a band with pre-series getting a ticket to support her, to show that her bond and time with that band was never wasted, but that would require her to come out of the ether after not existing for a few years
>>291299219But I don't see how. All of the girls are equally as boring and bucky is a weird new form of dense male lead
>>291301464alphagenx do not have sex or be interested in it. autism and water chemicals totally killed desire
>>291301408I'm pretty confident Iko is Apollo and that Shinobu clocked it during the confession service. Later on during the school festival, when she sees the "Best Couple" photo of Iko and Arisu, her reaction is extremely telling. She goes from, "Iko sure is bold to", "No, she was definitely nervous as fuck but powered through it because that's what Iko does when it comes to Arisu." I think something similar happened during the confession service, with Iko fucking up and letting her Kansai dialect slip through because she was so nervous, but continuing with the confession in spite of it. That's how Shinobu pegged that it was Iko when the manga went out of its way to make it extremely clear that she couldn't actually make out the sound of someone's voice through the string telling. >>291301432>Will Shinobu be the fake ApolloThat's Rikka.
actually Apollo died and her spirt split into parts and is possessing every girl
>>291301757Learn to write an ending before giving your opinion on other manga, Naito.
apollo girl is an alien chick from the moonmc becoming astronaut to see her in person
>>291301757>>291301843We can go more unhinged.
Do boy really need streams with radio-girls when he has 2 sisters who could say same nonsense 24\7 lying next to him on the bed
Nene knows her worth, so she's probably 10 000 yen.Iko is desperate for money, so she would probably do it for 8 000.Shinobu has low self esteem, so she would go for 5 000.Rikka is obviously cheapest.
>>291302018>IESLBWhat the fuck are you talking about?
>>291301757isn't that just sayonara zetsubou sensei
>>291301929She's actually Bucky's granddaughter from the future manipulating the girls so that she can be born and getting them in their chosen careers is key to stopping the apocalypses
>>291302179And it will be all revealed in Shinobus spinoff in the year 2100.
Yawn, no good Rikka panels in this chapter.
>>291302179This is just Negima get back to politics Ken
>>291302179Mayotuna if it were written by Kouji Seo kek.
>>291302229she doesn't need itshe is special
>>291302229I wouldn’t have pinned Shinobu as a green girl.
>>291302267>>291301095
>>291302270She wears green in other promo pics too.
>>291302229Nene's vagina bones...
>>291302319
>>291302319nene looks like a jigglypuff
>>291302270And guess who else was green coded.
>Remembering how good we had
>>291302390Except Igarashi is obviously a Miku/Nenefag.
>>291302424Ninofag*
Which of the girls give the best blowjobs again?
>>291302229I hate the overdesigned outfits. It's even worse when it's swimsuits.
>>291302466Nene because she uses teeth
>>291302229Jesus Christ Rikka, watch your spine!
>>291302466Shinobu, because she's desperate and doesn't have anything else going for her.
>>291298490And people call this beautiful angel a snek. Shame on you.
>>291301081Igarashi posted this before the chapter came out so I thought it would be a ShinoNene chapter. Now I see they're shilling Rikka at their school.
>>291298317>>291298555Honestly like Hizumi a lot more after this chapter. She's always been a bitch but she's a good motivator for Rikka and always takes music so seriously.>>291298574Cute Beanie
>>291302424Shinobu is voiced by Miku though. Coincidence? I think not!
>>291302466Lemon is bad when sober great when drunk but horrible when super drunk
>>291302454There aren't any Nino comps in this manga though.
>>291302699If we're going to get schizo about the seiyuu in the anime, the fact that Apollo's voice was determined to be Iko's VA through vocal recognition software is a lot more telling than Shinobu being voiced by Miku Itou. Especially since people thought they were having every heroine's seiyuu voice Apollo in different scenes.
>>291298784Long day at the pagpag mines?
>>291302777Fucking marvelous.
>>291302764lmao how much cope do you retards have to doshinobu is the winner and last chapter confirmed it hard
>>291302865I don't take the opinions of ESL retards seriously.
what the fuck bros? shinobu confirmed losing?
>>291302865>shinobu is the winner and last chapter confirmed it hardThat was "I will always love you" Nini tier
>>291302229w-where's hizumi...
>>291303111Yes, it was confirmed few chapters ago. Now we're in the final stretch, where it's gonna be between Nene and Iko, as it was always meant to be.
>>291303224how did 5toubun mindbreak people so fucking bad?
>>291303253It's just schizos trying to restart something long dead.
>>291303253For a huge percentage of people, including COVID tourists, is was their first harem anime/manga. People were completely new to it. It doesn't help that so many try to emulate it.
I only learned about 5toubun from Mayonaka threads.
>>291303224>nenelol
>>291303337
>>291303574I'm here since chapter 54
>>291303594If you weren't even around for 5toubun, which was not very long ago, you're new kek.
>>291302145FUCK YOU SPOILER-ASS FAGGOT
>>291302865Shinobu is the winner but Iko is Apollo
Iko will win.
>>291303780That manga ended 14 years ago you fucking moron. >>291303832I hope you're just ritual posting and not actually delusional enough to think Apollo isn't going to win.
>>291303926The sex would be primal.
>>291303832
>Rikka chapter>anons talking about other heroines being Apollo and having brutal sex with NeneYeah that seems about right.
>>291304064Like a clockwork.
>>291304145>a clockwork
>>291304241Yeah you know. It's regular, like how a clockwork.
>>291304351Alright that one made me chuckle.
Ok how about Apollo dies but she goes back in time and becomes Bucky's mother and this is their second time in the loop.
All tunas are super cute. But my tuna is cuterer than some others.
Only cats can win the final tuna
Think fast!
>>291305575This is correct.
>>291298418she would be better as a breeding wolf
>>291299595is she?20 is a lot these days...
>>291306354$20 is, in fact, less valuable than it has ever been.
>>291306063Cat Punpun
>>291306063Apollo was just an act, which is why Apollo will lose.
>>291307502It's why she'll win. Because the tagline of the manga is "Finding the girl behind the voice." It's not about discovering Apollo's identity, it's about finding out who she really is as a person without the veneer of a broadcast to hide behind.
>>291298224>Rikka chapterSnore
>200 postsAs a former Rikka fan/now Nene fan I am saddened by this. I like that she's getting less proud but I guess she's not for everyone.
>>291298599>Hizumi backstory incomingYes please>>291299317I have been thinking this for a long time
>>291307762Aside from struggling to be likable, she really suffers as a heroine from how hard Igarashi blew his load on her early. She's either Apollo, in which case: Yeah, no shit, you made it so obvious that it's impossible to find it satisfying. Or she's not Apollo, in which case: Who fucking cares? Because her professional endeavors just aren't interesting enough to carry her arcs. The most enjoyable thing about her chapters is Hizumi treating her like shit. She hasn't had a legitimately good arc in one hundred fucking chapters.
Angry Rikka is cuteSulking Rikka is cuteHappy Rikka is cuteRikka is cute
>>291305661>DID YOU AL REC CHOCO
>>291307838She was so cute and confident early on. She felt like she could wear the pants and pull Bucky along. Nene took that.
>>291307953Nene does it better than she did. She's a stronger character in general.
>>291308000Yeah but Nene is a slut and Rikka is pure.
>>291307953Who the fuck cares about nene anyway?
>>291308024I already know Nene is superior to Rikka. You don't need to list her good points.
>>291298317Tragic past or just emotionally stunned person?
>>291308139Me, but I'm part of a statistical minority.
Anime's Music Collection right here:transfer.it/t/ClLMS0tR3bxI
>>291308660Nene didn't even do THAT bad in the Japanese poll. The gap between her in 4th and Rikka in 2nd is the same as the gap between Iko in 1st and Rikka in 2nd. Iko just fucking crushed it. It almost makes the ridiculous numbers she did in the English poll look believable. People were clearly all-in on her after her confession during the School Trip Arc.
>>291298375>>291298397Why is Iko talking like a gyaru here
>>291298444Thats a vampire looking Ikocat
>>291308859She slips into Kansai-ben on occasion, since that's her original dialect. Used to only happen when she was nervous or uncomfortable. Seems like Igarashi might be trying to show that she's becoming more comfortable being herself.
>>291298574Wasnt Rikka paired up with Iko for emotional support? And Shinobu with Nene, why is the author changing the pairs? Did Nene scare Shinobu by being more aggressive with Arisu?
>>291307762200 really isn't that bad for her. She's seen worse
>>291300894My guess it will be like Rikka to show theybarent that different deep down, just a idealistic desire for your own music to reach other people hearts and all that, but Hizumi being a pro already probably has gone through some bullshit, fight with bandmates or losing the close friends or family that were originally supporting her making her bitter.
>>291302229Nene isnt even a bunny girl, that just lingerie
>>291306063In probably retarded, but never understood that page.
>>291308915Oh right, she is from kansai, and yeah that sounds about right, specially after her old classmate drama, I guess is a good interpretation, Iko deserves to feel safe.
>>291309070She the cat
>>291302764>the fact that Apollo's voice was determined to be Iko's VA through vocal recognition soft>believing redditschizo's post who only analyzed one episode where iko voiced Apollolmao idiot
Hizumi is what ruins Rikka arcs for me at this point. She just sucks the energy out of the whole thing.
>>291309070Yeah, you're retarded alright.
>>291309254>only analyzed one episodeProof?
>>291309330She's actually the biggest problem with Rikka arcs. Hell Rikka arcs would go more smoothly if it weren't for her. Rikka haters seem to think her being An antagonist to Rikka is a good thing but it's the opposite as it just makes Rikka arcs take up more pages.
Hizumi is what some retards accuse of Rikka or Nene of being. An actual frictional unlikeable cunt.
>>291309528Shes just a bad antagonist. Shes not interesting, just a cunt.
>>291306063She's the strongest afterall
>>291298224>music industry chapter ugh
>>291298375The flanderization of Iko saddens me
>>291309070yeah, you’re just retarded
>>291310257The fuck are you talking about? This is character growth for Iko. She's actually being herself.
>>291311108Turns out that the real her is an annoying brat. No wonder she’s just a joke character.
>>291311143I was going to explain why you're stupid but it's easier to just tell you to kill yourself. Kill yourself.
>>291311143Nah Nene is the filler girl
I still love the chapters where Rikka hinted at the Apolo spacecrafts. It feels kino.
>>291311194Her blob form is still used for comedic purposes, so yes, she is primarily a joke character.
>>291310076>Anime went and pass>Only porn is ai slopSad
>>291298224It's weird, Rikka's bare legs aren't as enticing as when she wears tights.
>>291307882Angry Nene is cuter.Sulking Iko is cuter.Happy Nobu is cuter.
>>291311350Oh man, wait until you find out about Yotsuba.
>>291311387Blame the existence of gacha slop. Doujin mangaka know that's where the money is these days.
>Shitkka chapter.Isleep.
>>291311435Yeah, that's why it was a total piece of dogshit of biblical proportions.
>>291311598Must suck to be illiterate. My condolences.
>>291311617Yeah, it must be torture living like you, do yourself a favor and kill yourself.
>>291311656No. <3
>>291301143Imagine the manga getting axed but still have some chapters left for a "conclusion" but author gets mad about the axe and makes some girl go yandere to torch the serie and run
>>291311656You need psychological intervention
>>291311282True, but I still love her.
>>291311282She's hot and cute, so that's okay.
>>291298265I wanna kiss their legs>>291298317>>291298574nice winter clothes
>No Rikka ass shot
>>291311747It would make for a more interesting out come. As It Is I dont see the story being anything but:>X girl Is revealed to be Apollo by arbitrary convenience>Maybe...maybe they kiss once>All other girls keep orbiting around them cockblocking their efforts and remaining virginsAuthor should Stick to drawing.
Wtf is this, an anime group of mastbators?
>>291309528To me it just feels like, up until this point, she's been able to do pretty much whatever she wants and then tells rikka how things are supposed to work in showbusiness whenever she doesn't want to do something. I feel like it's supposed to make the audience want to see how rikka can overcome the attitude or find a crack in her facade, but as of now it looks like the only reason that's happening is because she's a friendless loser and not because rikka did anything outside of kowtowing to her demands
>Iko submits to Ao Momotose, Blue Box and the demands of vtubing world>Nene submits to stupid bitch Ako and the unreasonable demands of voice acting world>Rikka... will it rhyme?
>not even 300 postsTell me its a Rikka chapter, without telling me its a Rikka chapter
>>2913133731. Rikka is the dedicated winner2. Jeets and SEAs don't like her because they're brown so they won't flood the thread with IESLB3. It's bedtime for the first world
Contarians hate Rikka because she is designated winner girl like Chitoge
People don't hate Rikka, they just don't care about her.
>>291314386>w-we donn't
There will be a break next week: https://x.com/senryugirl/status/2105005780424671249I blame Rikka for this!
>>291314386I only care for Shinobu and Iko
Haven't been here for months, do we have the winner yet?
>>291314522Yes, last chapter made it very obvious that Shinobu is the winner. Everything that comes after might as well be filler.
I don't hate Rikka at all, but it can't be denied that losing that "cool big sis" aura, despite being a major part of her character development, truly hit her hard in popularity terms>>291308859>>291308915I was about to complain about Iko flanderization as well, but that makes sense. Guess i just forgot about that detail.>>291303337Good for you, it would have ruined your life otherwise. As you can see, the rest of anons here are on a daily diet of SALT due to the ending. So you can just ignore them
>>291314522It's leaning very strongly towards Shinobu though Rikka was in the same position not too long ago so who knows.
>>291314563>Shinobu>winning anythingThat was a loser girl chapter.

even with the schizo posting the post count is still at 275. Not even Nenebros want anything to do with this shitty Rikka arc.
>>291313103>Shinobu is the only without a job that is super demanding with cuttroath industryShe will have all the time to actually date Bucky unlike the others
It makes me sad that so many people seem to hate Rikka
>>291314211>3. It's bedtime for the first worldNot true, it's middle of the day in Poland.
>>291314453Need more time to draw her ass.
>>291316412She's only really "hated" on 4chan, and even then, it's mostly just indifference rather than outright hatred. Everywhere else, she's either the favorite or the second favorite.
>>291316412we love rikka here
>>291317093We love to make fun of Rikka here, yes. Even her friends like to make fun of her.
>>2913165574chan is a Iko territory after all
The issue with Rikka is that her personality and stories are quite bland, Shinobu had the same issue before but her snek moments and the constant self pity somehow makes more entretaining than Rikka now.
>>291315595She'll have to sleep with producers when she's done with college.
>>291316412People has fun shitting on Rikka because Rikkafags take the bait and melt.
Whokka making everyone wonder who the next arc will focus on so we can move past her.
>>291298444>>291298490>>291298574This reminded me of a Rikka x Shinobu fic I found online.
