The biggest rival wasn't Mami, neither Ruka... but Mini of all the characters. Maybe she can break the Mizuhara curse... or can't she?

Seems the (more common in the west) friends to lovers trope finally permeated nip culture

Mini stages the meeting based on a fresh new novel that got sold out instantly (and she meets the author too). The name of the novel... Spring's Coffin. Mini intends to make Chizuru react by putting someone framed as the most ideal person who could whisk Kazuya away from Chizuru. And by whisk away, she means by taking Kazuya's life alongside with hers. How'd she react if the sole thought of Kazuya disappearing forever becomes an actual reality and not just an act?

>Author is so out of ideas that at this point he needs to shoehorn in the one girl not interested in the MC falling in love with him so she can be another designated loser

I mean she kinda already was designated.

Kazuya has a mentally ill ex stalking him and getting involved in his love love, a rabid chihuahua that won’t take no for an answer, a mute that barely shows up once in a while, and a rental girl that doesn’t know the definition of boundaries that he prefers 100% all around him.
The only other girl that seems to have a lower chance of winning than Mini is Miho and that’s only because she was introduced so late in the story. And even then that could change in a heartbeat due to the author’s blatantly shameless fetish.

1yr ago an anime site in japan made a poll about kanokari's favorite characters for female audiences. Mami was the most popular, then Chizuru and Sumi, and after a power gap, Mini was in 4th, there was another gap before Ruka's 5th place.

You really underestimate how much more self aware women are about the whole romance dynamics compared to guys. Women only have real true crushes (in the sense you mean it) for alpha-sigma guys, or in Japan it's the manipulative host club guys, for the sake of whom they will actively and willingly give away their own money, body, affection.

With guys like Kazuya, for Mini it's a convenience more than a real emotional attraction in the sense you're implying. It's not a strong emotion.

The only girl who ever had a chance at liking Kazuya for his true self is Mami because she's the only one who knows him deep enough to acknowledge his deep hidden arrogance because she's like that too, the only reason why the manga doesn't focus on this is because the whole story is precisely about Kazuya desperately denying his true nature and compatibility with Mami. Well that's what the reveal about Mami being intelligent implies.

Ruka and Sumi both think he's some super rich pimp sex haver type of guy and they try to "tame" him for themselves while Chizuru actually semi-knows his true backstory and thinks he's mid and not worth her sincere attention but the story shows that Chizuru is back shallow bimbo so it's more about Kazuya struggling to lower himself to that kinda primitive level of romantic communication (if Kazuya actually wanted to legit seduce Chizuru for sex, he'd go full beret-Umi host Chad nanpa flirt on her)

And deep down both Kazuya and Mami know this
>>
I think it's hilarious that he realizes how just much money Choziro jacks him for every date. He's chosen to embrace the WORST of all worlds: paying way more than a hooker and paying way more than a gf yet he is neither getting his dick touched by a hot slut OR having a real gf.
>>

>The only girl who ever had a chance at liking Kazuya for his true self is Mami because she's the only one who knows him deep enough to acknowledge his deep hidden arrogance because she's like that too

Mami only knew Kazuya for like a month before they broke up and is doing a lot of projection because he acted like her last boyfriend she loved who dumped her and immediately went for another woman.

This is not a Mini-Kazuya manga. This is a Mizuhara-Kazuya manga with 3 other girl beta orbiters who already planted their presence even before Mini ever showed up.

Mami will forever be the evil one. Even if she redeems herself, she'll forever be the girl who stirred shit up, the reason the story went the direction it did in the first place. I give her a pity 1% of winning the bowl at this point, and even that is too high.
Ruka is the mid-story gf, and that alone beings down her chances by a lot. Combined with her unhinged nature, and more importantly the fact she's cucking herself so another girl can shine, she has almost a non existent chance to win. I give her a pity 1% as well.
Sumi got her own spinoff, and for that reason alone, her chances to win are 0%.
That leaves Mini, who's perhaps the most relevant girl at this point. She's more helpful than Sumi ever was, she has that free spirited childlike charm that Ruka dreams to have, and she's a good clumsy girl that is the opposite of the cold, evil Mami. Her only disadvantage is that she was always the "helper" girl and that she was never considered to be part of the bowl, but this chapter hints that this might be changing.
Chizuru still is the most likely winner, but at this point you can't dismiss Mini's relevance. I give her 20% chance to win, and personally I root for her.

it's hilarious how reiji's mind works even though he tries his best to pretend he's normal

I don’t mean to be that guy again but Kazutrash and Miniship suddenly betrayed Chizuru by going out with each other.
Even though this was supposed to be a scout outing for a perfect date Kazutrash took the initiative to call another girl out to eat, hanged out with her, touched her, played arcade games with her, and even took love photos with her for no reason. What a piece of shit.

meanwhile chorizo is doing compensated dating even though she knows this guy loves her and has invested something like $100k into her at this point.

if she wasn't a piece of trash she would have turned him down literally 220 chapters ago
>>
>>268878260
I bet Mini is into some kinky shit. Otaku girls be like.
>>
>>268879728
I think that's the whole point. This arc is a set up for Mini to enter the bowl, but we were gaslit to believe it's about his date with Chizuru. Masterfully done.
>>
>>268879728
>What a piece of shit.
wait, how
>>
>>268879825
I mean the dynamic is spelled out. She already calls him "master". Only problem is Kaz hasn't displayed a manly side at all but once that is crossed she could completely melt for him.
>>
I love mini and this arc has reinvigorated my interest in this series
>>
>>268880379
The fact that he's rehearsing a "perfect" script to go out with Chiz is already very scummy and manipulative. How is he gonna explain the lack of excitement when it's his 2nd time there? It's just fucking weird, they should have walked around the entrance, ate, and left. He spoiled his own date like a retard. And now Chiz won't have as much fun either.
>>
>>268881090
yea it's incredibly stupid, it's not like it'll be so difficult to figure out where the lockers/bathrooms are, he literally figured that out easily as shown in this chapter and it took no time. that date is bound to fail, or as I suspect, it's not gonna go as planned at all.
>>
>>268881090
Once again Kazuya ain't that different from Reiji into being a selfish scumbag. Doing scummy shit behind his oneitis' back.

I am so ready for things to go south. This is the peak Rent-a-gf I know. The series still needs a reason to call itself that right? They will fuck up and I am so here for it.

Are you telling me Kazuya didn't wake up to Mini when he saw THIS, but he did when he thought of other men hitting on her? Such an unironic cuck...
>>
>>268881550
I'm not particularly against them having a good time, but all this meticulous planning is bound to fail, or backfire somehow. Even if it does go well, maybe Mini throws a wrench somehow. So many possibilities for how this can go wrong.
>>

It's like Reiji does it on purpose or something, it's like he portrays an actual cuckold, but people pretend this is some great love story.

You jest, but Kuri inserted that expectation on Kazuya's mind a while ago. Imagine if Mini somehow gets the same idea.
>>
>>268881682
He's clearly blushing here, so he did see her that way, even if he was not conspicuously aware of that. But it only clicked for him after being on a totally-not-real "practice" date with her. Seeing her being hit on just made him realize that she's actually kinda cute and totally gf material which he never considered before. Other people seem to like her, so why doesn't he? she's fun, cute, kind, etc.
Kinda like having a childhood friend that one day you realize how cute she is and you start to feel a certain way about her.
>>
>>268881981
He was lusting over her there. It's not uncommon, he's done the same for all other heroines. The thing is it took the idea of other men courting her to perform the mental jump from "this girl is hot!" to "man this qt is so dateable".

At chapter 82, Kazuya and Chizuru were having a JK uniform date (just 1 chapter before Ruka's visit to Kazuya's parents). In universe, that was roughly one year ago...

You see that’s where you’re wrong. There’s so much shit he can do instead like Mami trying to get back with Kazuya or an actual Chizuru dating arc but the retard purposefully ignores any route for story progression

I would like to know where this “story progression” is because the only progression I see is directly to a mental home.

The story progression for a romcom like this would be kisses and hugs with a best girl like Mami and maybe sex if the MC is lucky. But even with the sales dramatically increasing they still won’t try to give the series a glimpse of romance

This was unironically the peak of the cohabitation arc. Imagine how it would be if they made an S5 and adapted it.
>>
I honestly don’t get what direction this is going. Thought Mami would have gotten around to doing something by now but she is as useless narratively as Ruka and Sumi. Mini has been holding this ship together since the movie arc but was never recognized for it and now she is the only thing keeping Chizuru and Kazuya close while getting closer and closer to them herself. I can only guess Reiji is aiming for another Hawaiians where everything will come to a head again and it will blow up in everyone’s faces just like last time.

And that’s the problem there is no real cucking until the girls are kissed, hugged, and fugged

iirc, this scene has Kazuya telling Chizuru that Umi isn't doing it for free, which turned out to be true and Umi reading the script ahead and telling Chizuru she should go to dinner with Umi afterwards.

The mute girl and mini are the ideal women and are therefore 100% unattainable in the romcom. Only absolute garbage like Chizuru and Ruka are available for sex/marriage because they are the only ones shitty enough to be with the shitty MC.

I haven't really kept up with this manga since kazuya lost his apartment.
So what is happening here? He is going on a practice date with the girl-next-door, to practice going on a date with the girl that is not even his girlfriend and has to pay money for to go on a date with in the first place?

He was supposed to check out the venue with her, but it turns out to be more of a date than his rental dates with Chizuru.

he finally asked Chizuru out for a real non-payed date which she accepted, and is going for a practice date with Mini to prepare for the real date, but it turns out the practice date is kind of a real date. we still don't know if it's a nothingburger and we're getting baited or something deeper is brewing

>>268901753
Ironic isn't it? but I think it kinda makes sense, in a payed date you don't really care what you do, you just wing it and go with the flow because you know you don't need to impress anyone, she just provides a service to make you feel good, whereas in a real date you actually have to be on top of your game, lead, be interesting, etc. all of which makes him more self conscious than necessary. So ironically the mentality and state of mind he has on a payed date is closer to what he needs to have on a real date but he's shooting himself in the foot by overthinking and over-preparing for it
